Kendall hesitated for moment while
they were passing silently out of the
room.
Miss Miller is a very obedient pa
tent" he said. NO one could give
less trouble"
"Welly rejoined Brenda. please
proceed"
II don't quite understand"
"You have something more to say"
ut occurred to me-" said Kendall
slowly. that she exhibited less ankle
ty to see Mr. Alden than | should have
expected"
This statement seemed to furnish
Brenda with abundant food for
thought. She said nothing as they
traversed the long corridor and Ken
dali also was silent. After Brenda
had sent the message to her father
she conferred with Kendall in regard
to her remaining in the hospital as
Elsie's nurse and then dispatched her
maid under James escort for such
things as she would need.
The departure Of the servants left
Brenda and Kendall alone in the re-
ception room.
Il wish you would tell me more
about Miss Miller" said she. Il can
not understand why she should not
have wished to see Mr.. Alden"
81 did not say that" responded Ken
dali. 1T was her manner that struck
me as peculiar"
"She seems as unaffected and impul-
sive as child" said Brenda. II can
imagine her asking for MIR. Alden as
naturally as if he had been a drink of
water"
''rhat is precisely what she did not
do" said the doctor. Let me tell you
just what happened. When she was
brought to the hospital. she was un-
conscious. For certain reasons we
took her to the room where she now
is. though that would not have been
the ordinary course. While was
making my first examination Of the
wound she began to revive. and be-
lieve that she reganed the full com
mand of her faculties within 4 few
minutes. 1t is not always possible to
say just when a patients mind be-
comes etfectually clear, but am per-
fectly sure that Miss Miller's was wide
awake some little time before she
chose to let that fact appear.
You must remember that we over
estimated the gravity of the wound
and indeed were expecting the worst
at any moment. Considering the ma
ture of the case, it was important to
question her Immediately. | asked
her who had inflicted the injury, and
l know that she heard and understood
me as well as you do now. but she
made no sign. After her first view of
the place, which she must have recog-
nized as room in Il hospital, she
closed her eyes, and | think it must
have been matter Of five minutes
before she opened them"

the supernal powers may take too seri-

DR.. Kendall was not in the least pre-
pared to hear such an expression from
this particular patient. He would have
said that she was one who enjoyed
life every minute of it. Certainly she
was as full of natural vitality as a
young fawn in the woods. Plainly
Brenda was at least as much surprised
as Kendall, and the physician awaited
her response with critical interest. If
she should ask an explanation or offer
an argument. it would show that she
had not the instinct of the nurse. 1t

and Brenda passed it with great credit.

MAY NEVER BE KNOWN.
Little Prospect of Murderer of Law.
yer Marcun ut jackson, XIV.
Being Captured.

Lexington, KY. May 7.-Specials re-,
ceived from jackson after l o'clock a.
m. say that the murderer of James B.
Marcum will probably never be known.
With the exception of brief search
made about five minutes after the
shooting there has been no pronounced
effort to discover the assassin. The
town is quiet and it is next to impossi-
bic to get anyone to talk. The CORE
spondent has been advised by d friend
that it would be more than we'll for
him to leave on the first train. The
only words uttered by Marcum after
he was shot were: "My God. they have
killed me-" The entire side of his face
was badly powder burned. The assas-
sin stood Immediately over him in fir
ing the last shot. The peculiar feature
about the murder is that no man has,
or will, advance a theory about the
shooting, nor as to the probable iden-
tity of the assassin. Deputy Sheriff B.
j. Even. who was standing beside Mar
cum. said that he ran at the sound of
the first shot and did not see the person
who fired the shot. Another gentle
man, who would not permit the use of
his name. says that Even told him he
saw the man. knew who it was. but
could not tell because his life would
pay the forfeit.

The plans of a gang of burglars to
break into and rob the bank at Eagle,
Waukesha county, during Wednesday
night Of this week was frustrated by the
wakefulness of a telephone operator
whose office was directly over the bank.
The gang broke into an Office directly
opposite the bank and waited for the
telephone Office to close. They watched
from early in the evening Tuesday until
two o'clock Wednesday morning, and
then concluding to postpone operations
until some subsequent time they broke
into livery stable, took horse and cut
ter and started away but were discover
ed by the wife of the livery man, who
summoned the neighbors and pursuing
party hurredly organized and set in pur-
suit. On approaching the robbers, the
latter began firing which was responded
to by those in pursuit, when the gang
left the cutter and took to the woods.
One of the robbers was wounded and
taken. Two others have since been cap
tured and it is thought the fourth will
soon be captured. Not bad beginning
for Sheriff SchOll, the new Waukesha
county sheriff.
The prisoners are supposed to have
given fictitious names but they can be
sent up to State prison under those
names as we'll as any other. Criminal
law deals with persons and facts with
out particular reference to the label on
