the room for its new occupant,
Loading his revolver with unusual
care, Jack bade his friend good
night and retired, locking the only
door belonging to the chamber and
making careful survey of every
| nook and corner. The bed had been
draped in the whitest of clean linen,
and Jack rubbed his hand over the
smooth surface in appreciation of
the rest it promised. Something
stuck to his fingers. A subtle odor
greeted his sensitive nostrils. He
touched his tongue to the substance
on his fingers-it was cheese.
His first thought was to call Ma
lita. She did not answer, and he
sought her in the kitchen of the
house. She was startled by his
abrupt entrance and showed fear,
although man was with her. Jack
had not seen him before, and in his
heart pronounced him q picturesque
vagabond. He asked Malta who he
was. She answered sullenly:
Mine son, excellenzia."
Jack was surprised. II never knew
you had son." he said; II did not
know, you ever married"

question about the cheese as he in

although its inception had cost
life. Ross Morton, waking for his
friends sake, heard the report of
a revolver near dawn. He rushed to
the rescue, broke in the door, and
found Jack standing in the middle
of the room with the counterpart
of the object in the eye of the photo
graph held at arms length. There
was the fiendish face, devilish with
frightful devices, the eyes tricked
out with horrid rings of fire, the
pointed ears ablaze with spectral
light, yet stripped of its PHOSPHORUS
glow and with Jacks bullet in it's
heart it proved to be nothing more
harmful than one of the squirrel ro-
dents of California, but Jack him
self declared that his own senses had
almost suspended with fear at the
approach of the thing, which looked |
i've feet high as it leaped about in
its uncanny guise.

" underground, in which at least 81
persons are believed o have lost thelr
lives. Up to 8 o'clock this morning
seven bodies have been recovered ana
the search continues.
One train broke down at Menllmon'
tant station. which is in a poor and
populous quarter of Paris. This train
was promptly emptied, and the train
following was ordered to push it to the
repairing sheds. On the way these
two trains caught fire but the en-
ployes succeeded in escaping. Mean
while a crowded train reached Les
Couronnes. the preceding station, and
the officials seeing smoke pouring OUT
of the tunnel, gave the alarm. A panic
ensued, the passengers
Struggling to Escape
from the station. Amid the increas,
ing smoke many attempted to re-
turn along the line toward Bellevflle,
and they were ~suifOcated. The Of
icials seem to have lost their heads
and are unable to say how many pas,
sengers went out. The fremen for
several hours were unable to enter the
station or the tunnel owing to the
dense smoke which poured out IN
black clouds. Meanwhile thousands OF
anxious people gathered about the sta.
ton. All the police and fire officers
were on the spot. The excitement
was intense.
Finally the firemen flooded the burn
ign mass and shortly afterward they
entered the tunnel. They brought W
the corpses of eighty-two persons. The
total number of dead will probably
reach ninety.
