CHAPTER XIX.
Foul Murder.

Feodor Baranok WAS thoroughly
wicked and INSCRIPTIONS man. Seven
times in the course Of twenty years he
had escaped from the mines and six
times had he been retaken and dragged
back to endure the harshest Of punish
ments for his ofense.
But on the seventh OCCASION year
previous to the incidents recently mar
rated-he eIuded the authorities and
eventually reached the desoIate region
lying to the northwest OF Irkutsk. where
the discovery OF this secure hiding
place on the bank OF the Angara River
suggested to him the daring plan that
ultimately attained such success.
The eight companions who had es-
,aped with him formed the nucleus Of
bis band. and II was augmented from
lime TO time by fresh arrivals. as in
the case OF Waldorf, Leontef. and Cross.
and more recently by the daring attack
on the post station.
Yet 50 cieveriy had Baranok conducted
his operations during the past year that
The Siberian authorities. i'm their
arrogance and blind ignorance.
1ever for an instant dreamed
hat he occasional assaults in tray
slers and provision trains were com
nitted by an organized band OF escaped
cOnvicts who had a refuge close by in the
mountains, or that the terrible Feodor
Baranok himself was the leader. until
The assault on the post station and the
,--~uSoon Of General Tichimiron's

-. minds
For several months past the band had
been looking forward 10 and PREPARING

This ledge lay Donald ChumIeigh. wedged
in between The cliff and big pine tree
that had rooted itself in this precarious
spot
Fortunately for him. he was too stun
ned at first TO realize his situation or. to
make any cutlery. and so the murderous
convicts made no Investigation. but hur-
ried away to oyertake their companions.
in the full belief that Fcodor BaraDok. $
command had been faithfully carried out.
The keen air and the thickIy falling
SNOW soon revived Donald. He look
Cd into The terrific gulf with shuddcr.
and ruefulIy put his hand to the lump
that vaIbort's club had raised on his
head
Slowly he rose to his feet. catching
hold Of the pine tree for support. and
was relieved to find that no bones we're
broken with the exception of severe
headache he was all right.
The top of the cliff was two or three
feet over his head. but bv the aid Of
/ projecting roots and assures in the rock
he gained the brink. and with an ef
fort pulled himself out on the firm
/ ground
He quickly sprang TO his feet and
looked around, fearing that his enemies
might still be in the vicinity. Then he
picked up his cap. which had been
knocked of in the struggle. and crept
cautiously along the path the couvicts
had taken. keeping sharp lookout
ahead lest he should run upon them una
wares.
The motive OF the murderous attack
was a mystery 10 Donald. He was con
WINGED. however. that Waldorf aud Cross
had acted by their leaders orders. for
he remembered now that Ba-anok's man
ner had been furtive and embarrassed
when ne spoke to him that morning
that he kept his eyes constantly averted
AT all events the oath he made me
take holds good no longer" thought
Donald Il suppose he was afraid 10
trust me and concluded to make sure
by putting me ont Of the way. Your re-

These reflections cbeered DoDa1d.s

DAMAGE SUITS SETTLED.
Shepherdstown Scandal is Not
Aired in Court.
AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED
And Certain Defendants Agree 10 hcknowl.
edge Eror--A Settlement That
Seems 10 Settle Nohing.

The several suits by Mrs. Jessi g
| Reynolds and Miss A. Salome Wingate
against j. d. Billmyer and wife, Of
Shepherdstown and the Farmers Adj
vocate. newspaper of Charles Town.
and the suit by Mrs.. Reynolds against
Prof. T. r. Goodwin, formerly of
Shepherd college, for SANDER were all
SO tied in the circuit court Wednesday
arnicably and satisfactoraliv to all par.
ties concerned. These suits grew out
of the alleged scandal in Shepherd
college last June.
The basis Of the settlement was an
agreement on the part of Professor
Goodwin and others to acknowledge
error in certain statements damaging
to the character of Miss Salome Win
gate and Mrs. Jessie Reynolds. 1t it
said that others OF the defendants re-
fused to agree to this, but were in
cluded in the order dismissing the
suits. However this may be, the
cases are settled, so far, as the court is
concerned. although it is possible that
I'll ere will always remain a feeling III
Shepherdstown that settlement along
these lines only serves to take the
matter out of court without definitely
fixing the status Of any portion Of the
unfortunate affair
The grand jury failed to retn q

or Beally Watson, the two colored
persons alleged to be mixed up in the
affair.
