WAS THERE AN ACCoMPLICE?
According to her story she does not
know anything about Ryan's body be-
ing bound with ropes nor about his
skull being crushed, If she is to be be-
lleyed In this matter she does not know
In what position the body was left. So
the question which arises Is whether or
not she had an accomplloe in the crime.
She denies that any one assisted
her in the horrible deed,
but II seems that had she
done It alone she would not have told
such a story about Ryan not being
bound with ropes. 1t Is known that
Mrs. Hodge was very fond of her hus-
band, Cornelius Hodge. and that he at
times exercised great influence over
her. The history of their married life
Is shrouded In mystery and the cause
of their separation is not known. Sher-
In Bailey Of Ogden is making quiet
search for the man supposed to be her
husband, who was in Ogden at the
same time Ryan was there and who
called with Ryan to see her.
Should II develop that this man IL
her husband then It Will appear that he
was mixed up In the affair and probab-
~ used his wife 10 assist him in rob-
bling Ryan and made the arrangements
for her 10 accompany Ryan on his
travels. II certainly looks as though
Mrs. Hodge was attempting to shield
someone, and who knows but that that
person is her husband, whom she
claims she does not know whether he
IL dead or alive. The man is believed
TO be desperate character and that
there was something on between the
two which necessitated secrecy Is evil
dent from the following letter written
by the woman to her brother, Alfred
Larsen, at the time she attempted to
commit sicide in the Washington room
ing house at Ogden.
THAT TELL5TALE LETTER.
The letter was intercepted by Sheriff
Bailey and was therefore never mailed
II Is as follows:

here, Alfred, and you can help me If
you will by writing these people here

AURORA HODGE"
II Is very evident that she had for
some reason lied TO the authorities at
Ogden about her husband. II Is believ-
ed that she did not want her brother to
send her transportation home and that
Is what she meant by not wanting him
to do something for her" 1t is be-
lieved that the husband knows some
thing about this crime and every ef-
fort will be used to locate him.

1.-The sign language, once forming
such an extensive part Of the human
vocabulary, and still used with much
profit, Is not unknown to lower orders
Of life," said man who takes much
interest in matters of this sort, land
have had occasion in my time to OBJ
serve some rather impressive instances.
Some of the signs are understandable.
Many of them are plain as the words
Of human speech, as for instance, the
sapsucker's love call, the rabbits
drumming. the head gesture which ac-
companies the cluck of the old hen
when she is trying to attract the at
tention Of her brood to bit Of food
she has uncovered in the soil. But
there are many mysterious and alto
gether inexplicable things to be found
in this strange realm Of signs. Every
sign means something. We may be
sure Of that. 1t Is a part and parcel OF
speech. It conveys a meaning definite
enough to the creatures In the .partic-
ular order of life. But there are so
many signs which are not followed by
results which throw light on their
meaning that the field becomes one
for interesting speculative inquiry.
What does a duck mean, for instance,
when simply bobbing the head up and
down? 1t is not confined to one sex.
brakes and hens resort to the same
form of speech. I have seen them go
through this motion in perfect ST.
lence, and when the motion Of the
head would not be followed by any
other activity, or by sound Of any
sort.
They just nod at each other. 1t
may be simply friendly sort Of greet
ing, a nod Of reinsurance that all Is
quiet on the Potomac, and that there
is no fox or other dangerous intruder
anywhere around. Or 1t may be a
fiirtive sort Of speech, the ducks way
Of smiling and .goo-gooing. l don't
know how this Is. I only know that 1t
happens. 1t may be, Of course, that
this movement Of the head and neck
Is physically necessary, like the habit
OF yawning or the unconscious move
ment of the limbs Of human beings.
But ducks yawn and stretch very much
after the fashion Of the human kind.
Still, the movement to which I have
referred may result from similar mo-
tive. I would like to know. Can any
man tell me what a duck means by ST.

companions ?"-New Orleans Times

In GOOD CoMPANY.-The members Of
the Druid Park church were very ex-
elusive, says Lippincott's. Before any
body could join the church there was
a rule which required the applicant to
present himself to an examining COM
mittee. A favorable report from this
committee was required before the ap-
plicant could be presented to the
church for membership. Solomon
Dunn, a blacksmith by trade, went be-
fore the committee. He was promptly
turned down. Gossip attributed his
failure to his lack Of social standing,
though the committees decision was to
the effect that the applicant be in
structed to "go and make the acquaint-
ance Of the Lord" Three weeks later.

the committee. The chairman OF the

Dunn, that I had been trying to get
into his church for two or three

the last three years and hadn't been

Uncle Robin Is Of Scotch-Irish de-

natives Of Scotland, and emigrated to
Ireland in the early part Of the eigh-

differences between the adherents of
the church Of England and those who
held to the Presbyterian form of
church government. Several Of this

a sharp exclamation. and two vigorous
hands grasped him by the shoulder,
jerking him back unceremoniously.

demanded Lorry, struck by the change
in it.
"My voice?" asked the other. the

Didn't it embarrass you when your
voice broke like that?" went on the
questioner breathlessly. Lorry was
now leaning back in the seat. quite
little mystified.
81 don't believe mine ever broke like
that" he said speculatively. There
was no response. and he sat silent for
some time. regretting more and more
that it was so dark.
Gradually he became conscious OF
strange. unaccountable presence In
that dark cab. He could feel change
coming over him. He could not tell
why, but he was sure that some one
else was beside him. some one who was
not the soldier. Something soft and
delicate and sweet came into existence,
permeating the darkness with Its un-
deniable presence. A queer power
seemed drawing him toward the other
end of the seat. The most delightful
sensations took possession Of him. His
heart futtered oddly. His head began
to reel under the spell.
"Who are you" he cried in sort
of ecstasy. There was no answer. He
remembered his match safe and with
trembling. eager fingers drew it from
the pocket Of the coat he was wearing.
The next instant lie was scratching q
match. but as it flared the body Of his
companion was hurled against his and
ruthless mouth blew out the feeble
blaze.

cry Of dismay the other occupant of

For some time they bumped along
over the rough road, jostling against
each other frequently. both enduring
stoically and silently. Suddenly Lorry
remembered the lantern. 1t was still
lit with the slide closed when he threw
it on the seat. Perhaps it still burned
and could relieve the oppressive dark
ness if but for a short time. He
might at least satisfy his curiosity and
look upon the face Of his companion.

the traps on the opposite seat.
