DEATH
Notwithstanding them slowly and
heavily, for he had aged ten years In
the last week-when George Warren
came rushing out of the rooms which
the Hadleys had occupied. They were
empty now because the widow could
not live in that scene of horrid memo
rles.
Warren was pale as paper and
speechless with excitement. He seized
knight by the arm and dragged him
into the parlor OF the little suit. closing
and locking the door behind them. Then
he rushed across the room, passing
over the spot where Hadley's body had
lain. The wall was wainscoted fully
i've feet from the floor.
Warren laid trembling hand upon
this wall, and instantly Knight saw
small panel open. Within there was a
revolver pointing straight outward.
There was a mechanism Of a very sim
pie sort by which the weapon If cooked
could be discharged. The panel closed
with a spring.
Standing with his hand upon the
open panel Warren mumbled inarticu-
late sounds.

little things-for her. And he made
this for her too. The fool. The infer

Warren hoarsely. HE marked the
doorpost with blood. There was lit

time to settle it today"
He glanced at his watch and then
went slowly out of the room.
That afternoon Mrs. Hadley received
$4,000, and the insurance company
fled away receipt In full. 1t is better
business TO pay a claim than to contest
It, especially when the money is fur
slshed by somebody else.
In the evening Willard Knight was
pacing the floor of his dining room very
much as he had been going on another
evening not long before. He was very
tired and weak, for he had called upon
The owners of six newspapers and the
thief of police and had not had time
for his dinner But he had strength
enough left TO swear at Ernest Hadley

When Senator Hanna came from the

met by photographer who requested
him to pose for a picture. with the
White House as a background says
Washington special to the New York

None of that for me-" said Mr.. Han

1.-THE last time the Grdiron club boys
got hold of me they pretended to X ray
my head and presented a photograph
of Senator Hanna with the White
House as the central figure of his as
pirations. Oh, no! | don't want to
give anybody any fresh opportunity TO
suppose that / am in love with the
White House as an adornment of my

HOkE SMITH GETTING RICH
His Suggestion to n Newspaper Man
when He Was In the Cabinet.


Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith ls reported to be quietly nursing
an ambition to represent Georgia in
the United States senate. says the
Washington Post. According TO sources
close TO the former cabinet minister,
the latter would like to get a seat in
the senate but is not ready to make a
race for ii yet. He feels he Is not yet
rich enough, and his aspiration is to
become millionaire and then make
the race for the senatorship. Mr.. Smith
has been making a great deal of money
since he left President Cleveland's cab
met and resumed his law practice,
which Is one of the most lucrative in
the country. The sale of the Atlanta
Journal, in which he had large hold
ings, netted him a small fortune, and
he has made number of very profita-
bic investments in the Georgian capt.
tai.
Mr.. Smith Is democratic in his per-
sonality as well as his politics and is
very fond of wholesome fun. One day
while he was still in the cabinet a
newspaper man was waiting in his Of
fee to see him, Presently Mr.. Smith
with that bland smile of his. emerged
from the inner room ard. stepping up
to the correspondent fingered the lat

"Mr. Blank" said the secretary, "do
you know what would do if | were
you? l would go to the nearest store
and buy five cent piece of chamois
skin. Then I'd fold it very carefully,
touch the chamois to the chain and
very gently rub it. Then begin to rub
1t hard, and you'll be surprised, for
people wouldn't know but it was real
gold chain"

Through the Haze.

The wind is from the south,
And haze is in the air;
The wind is from the south,
And the sun Is in his lair,
But see the greening fields
And the meadows all ablaze
And the crocus in its pride
Through the haze.
The wind is from the south,
But 1t fails to lift the veil
That dimly hides the town
In its folds so damp and pale,
Yet | see beyond the mist
Where the sunshine warmly plays
All the flowers Of May abloom
Through the haze.

lnspeakably wretched because of his
death. knight feared for her sanity.
Indeed she was not fully sane at first,
cven going to the length of accusing
Knight of the crime and demanding
vengeance upon him. This injustice
grieved him to the soul, for his earliest
resolution in this terrible affair had
been to provide for this poor woman as
long as she should live. He had at first
believed that she would be entirely
destitute, but within a few days it de-
veloped that Hadley had insured his
life in her favor for $4,000.
Even with such provision she
would need some one of business expe-
rience to safeguard her interests, and
therefore, as soon as she was calm
enough to speak about the matter,
Knight offered his services most cour-
teously and kindly. Mrs. Hadley was
by this time ashamed of her accusa-
tons against him, and she accepted his
offer with something like humility. 1t
appeared that she had already applied
to the insurance company for small
payment, as she lacked money for her
Immediate support, and the company
had refused her.
"They have dared to tell me-" said
she, that they must first investigate
his death; that they have reason to
think he may have taken his own life"
Upon learning this Knight went to
see the president of the company,
