~ RAIG WYNDHAM discovered
"A while he was still several feet
~ from the body of his friend
that he was dead. He saw
in that fractional part of an instant
the cause of death. With a swiftness of
which he was himself unconscious he
turned and seized James, drew him
frorn the room and closed the door al
most before the valet was aware of the
awful thing that had confronted them.
Then, while the strong and relentless
arm of his masters friend drew him
into the parlor, his old knees began to
tremble and threaten to give way be-
meath him, so that when at last they
were in the center of the room, under
meath the chandelier, he was weeping
and was devoid of what little strength
he had possessed. -. al,
"Your master dead. James. Who
killed him?' were the first words that
Wyndham uttered. He spoke calmly,
but his face was deathly white, and he
did not realize with what resistless
strength he gripped the arm of the old
man. J, .~
God help US, sir, I do not know
was the reply. "Let us 60 to him." =

to go to him now. He is dead-quite

There are men who carry burdens
which are never seen or suspected
Wyndham was one of them. Burdens
which rightly belonged to him he did
not mind. but burdens that he bore for
another oppressed him really more than
he knew. He was the most undemon-
stratiYe fellow in the world. Persons
for whom he felt the most profound af-
lection were the least likely OF all 9TH
ers to observe signs of 1t. and when he
left the club that afternoon after the
unexplained departure. and in, some
ways the inexcusable negligence. Of
Pendleton it seemed to him that he
bore burden that it was next to i'm
possible foc him to carry. That was
why his brow was creased with
thought, and that was also why he did
not see that pair of dark skinned
strangers followed in his footsteps and
never once lost sight of him until he
disappeared three hours later through
the doorway that led to the apartments
Of his friend Pendleton.
James, Pendleton's valet. replied to
the touch of the electric bell. He was
fond Of Wyndham, for he knew with
that instinct which is more animal than
human. but which unerringly points
out or individualizes those who love the
people we love. that Wyndham was de-
voted to his master. In reply to Wynd-
hams question he replied:
Eyes, Mr.. Wyndham. Mr.. Pendleton
is in. He is in his room, but left word
that he did not care to be disturbed. I
am not sure whether should announce
you or not"

the hands pointed at exactly that hour.
Then he said to James:

MISS NIGHTINGALE EIGHTY.
Crimean War Nurse Celebrated Her
Birthday.

London, May 15.-Florence Nightin-
gale,~ the famous Crimean war nurse,
is being showered with congratulations
to-day on having reached her elghtieth
birthday. There were a number of
callers at her residence, all of whom
were received and welcome, although
the health of the venerable heroine isn't
of the best. Queen Alexandra's con-
CALCULATIONS, in the form of an auto
graph letter, were delivered to Miss
Nightingale by special messenger. Dis
patches couched in felicitous phrases
were also received from other crowned
heads of Europe and from persons OF
note in all parts of the world.
Miss Nightingale is now tall worn-
an, rather stout, with gray hair and
fine, open face. Although great suf-
ferer, she shows little trace of 1t. She
spends most of her time in reading.
Her room is Uttered with magazines,
newspapers, writing paper. pencils and
letters. She loathes anything in the
form of publicity, and seldom grants
an interview, but to anyone who seeks
advice on questions affecting the in
terests of the sick or those who nurse
them, a hearty welcome and word of
encourag cement and counsel are always
cheerfully accorded.
She has a very comfortable home on
one of the best streets in the West End
of London.

ADAMS WAS HANGED.
Americus Negro Paid the Penalty
for His Crime.

Americas. Ga, May 15.-Monroe
Adams was hanged in private here at
noon to-day for the murder of his wife
and daughter in July last.
While all representatives OF the
press were steadfastly denied admls-
sion at the request of Adams. quite
large number of others designated by
him, besides officers, doctors and cler-
gymen, witnessed the execution.
Adams fatty refused to confess other
crimes of which he was undoubtedly
guilty, and went stoica1ly to death.
His neck was cracked and the murder
er died in a few minutes.
Frantic with passion, Adams hunted
down his wife and grown daughter one
night last July and shot them to pieces
at the home of a neighbor in the very
shadow of the Court House, and de-
clared his intention of shooting four
others who had incurred his dspleas-
ure. He had long been regarded as
bad negro.
