Stonington Summer Schools.

1t is definitely settled thai one of the
Teachers Summer Schools will be located
in Stonington. The school will open1, July
18th and continue one week. This will give
the teachers along the coast fine oppor-
tunity to take an outing on one OF the beau
tiful islands of Penobscot bay, and at the
same time combine business with pleasure
by attending lectures given by the best in
structors in the country. Stonington can
be reached by steamers Mt. Desert and
Vinalhaven from Rockland, or by str. Mt;
Desert from Bar Harbor. Strs. Cimbria and
the boats of the Crockett line also touch at
the north end Of the island. The boats
will furnish excursion rates, and expenses at
Stoninoton will be very small, there being
no tuition and no books. required. Rooms
should be secured in advance. For infor-
tainment committee. Annie Thurlow

Capt. Bean TO Drive.

Capt H. NJ. Bean, the veteran promoter
of the Camden track, is very sanguine over
the prospects of the Fourth Of July meeting
at that track, and one of the attractions Of
the meeting that he doesn't give out or say
much about is that he himself is to drive
his great PAGER Wilson at that meeting.
Mr.. Bean used to know how to drive sharp
race and no one who knows him has any
idea that he has lost any of his cunning,
either on or off the sulky.. The Captain
shakes his head and says he don't know
anything about it when you ask him.
but the boys all say that he is going to
drive. There will be three great races on
that day, in any event. and they will be
started promptly at one o'clock. 50 that
off before dark. Capt. Bean says that he is
already assured Of ten entries in the 2.21
class and eight in the 2.27 class, and also
has goodly number in the free for all, 50
nothing but the weather can spoil great

The Drug Habit Problem.

PORTLAND, Me-, June 8. "What shall
be done with persons who are addicted to
the use of drugs?" was discussed to-day by
the Maine medical association. Dr.. Hiram
Hunt, the president, was in the chair. The
bers that at the next session of the state
legislature some proper system for the COM
mitment of insane persons to the state
asylum for the insane will be adopted.
Dr. F. H. Gerrish of Portland thought
that law might be enacted allowing per-
son addicted to the use OF drugs to relinquish
for some stated period his right of personal
liberty, that he might under suitable re-
straint be properly Treated His suggestion
was discussed by DR.. S. Gordon, DR.: Pudor,

formed itself dimly in my mind that
7 was an Ismael, and that henceforth
my hand should be lifted against
every other man. 1 was half delirious
with hunger and cold. The snow
whipped me cruelty in the face as I
plowed along. I was friendless and
miserable, and haunted by visions of
a pale wife and a starving child at
my cherries home.
$50 absorbed was I in these miser-
able reflections that I did not see a
figure approaching through the thick
ening snowfakes and the darkened
woods. Evidently the person did not
see me, either, until we suddenly con-
fronted each other. He was a large
maj in a heavy overcoat, and he was
muffled up about the face so that it
was impossible to tell who he was. I
had the sensation of a man who I'M
eXpectedly meets a wild animal in a
Jungle. Two eyes of deep and muir
derous malignity were fixed upon me.
In his hand was a heavy stick which
he held as if he intended to make an
attack. I have no doubt that Frank
lin--for it was he-was even more
startled at my appearance than I was
at his. In the light of subsequent dis
%coveries I am satisfied that having
committed the crime of murder, he
was terribly excited to u thus I'M
e~xpectedly against the son of the
man whom he had just killed. What
ever his thoughts were, it was my
impression at the time that the per-
son before me wanted to kill me, and
L fancied that he was about to make
the assault-for the light of murder
still fingered in his face. He must
have had a somewhat similar feel
ing about me; for we silently faced
each other like two men who had
agreed on a duel to the death. I was
not much troubled by the prospect
of danger, for I had long since lost
the feeling of physical fear. I had a
stout cudgel in my hand and I was
desperate anyhow. This condition of
mind gave me strength and agility.
I did not wait for an attack, but
rushed at once upon him. My deci-
sion had been prompter than his, for
he was unquestionably unnerved.
My first blow landed fairly on his
head, and, to my astonishment, the
tall and vigorous looking stranger lay
senseless at my feet. Further blows
were unnecessary. AS he fell some
thing dropped from one of his over
coat pockets. 1 picked it up and
found it to be a watch. This put an
idea into my head-put it there
strongly, burningly, and when T dis
covered who it was that I had
knocked down, I did not stop to de-

CHAPTER XIX,

The people of Nilus were naturally
much interested in knowing the &C
tual value of the Colorado mine
which had been the exciting germ of
such ar elaborate conspiracy, but it
was sold to Frederick Merivale for a
sum which was entirely acceptable to
the Wright family, but was never &C.
curately made public.
Of course the memory of the tragic
events herein set forth left it's trace
upon all those connected with them,
and Mrs Wright, Miriam and Her
bert decided upon an extensive trip
to Europe. where they hoped to blot
out the incidents of the CHASTITY
past. For many months a terrible
strain had been upon them, and only
when all their trouble was over did
they realize how great it had been.
Amid peaceful scenes of the Old
World, and in quiet hooks unadver-
tised by the interchangeable tourist,
they passed an eventful year, and the
record of an unhappy past became
dim and unobtrusive.
Irving Warde in the meantime re-
manned in this country, and waited
confidently, but with some impa-
thence, for Miriam's return. The in
terval of absence was frightened by
regular letters, in which the won
ders of the Old World were not the
sole topic of consideration, but we're
indeed rather overshadowed by the
wonders of love, which kept two dis
tant hearts as warm as summe days.
1t was, from n point Of view, an
~unfruitful year for Warde, though he
made steady progress upward in his
profession; but he stifed as we'll as
he could his selfish feelings, and
whenever he grew Respondent he
took out. Miriam's letters and
dreamed of the happy days to come.
And Miriam came back radiant with
what she had seen and experienced,
with bright eyes and Drowned, clear
cheeks, but unchanged in heart so
far as Warde was concerned. and it
was not long before she consented
to name the day for the marriage,
and that happy event followed in due
course of time.
Fenton drifted away to one of the
large cities. His work in .the Wright
case had won him fame far beyond
his own state, and he was recognized
as a bright man in police circles else
where; and SO it was not long before
he was snapped up by a s~uperintend.
ent on the alert for good material
and he became a famous detective.
If anyone has some curiosity on the
subject, and will pass along Madison
street inspecting the signs of the
Nilus lawyers that swing out over
the sidewalk, he will find one that is
old and dingy, but still bearing tn"
faint lettering:

bate against the thought. 7 had al
ways regarded Col. Franklin as an
enemy of the family rather than a
friend. l had been satisfied for some
time that he grew rich off my fathers
unfortunate crime, and that it was
he who kept alive my fathers re-
sentiment against me. I cannot say
that I reasoned all this out at that
time, but I felt that I had felled an
enemy and somehow I was entitled
to the spoils. In plain English, I de-
termined. to rob the man whom 1 had
thus vanquished. In one of his over
coat pockets l found a knife and the
cuff buttons which have since been
identified as my fathers; in his vest
pocket was the watch which has here
been Identified as Franklin's; and in
his shirt bosom was the diamond pin
which has figured in this case. These
articles I quickly appropriated. A
pair of handsome sleeve buttons
which he wore attracted my atten-
ton, but they were fastened SO firm
ly in as to resist my hurried eff
forts, SO I tore the cuffs promptly
from the shirt. 1 noticed that they
had dark spots on them, which after
ward proved to be blood. In n of
the o%vercoat pockets I found a pistol,
but l decided not to take it. It was
just about sue a weapon as that dis
played here, but l would not like to
swear it vas the same. He also had
a heavy stick, which being useless to
me I did not take. Having secured
all the valuables on his person., and
satisfying myself he would soon come
to consciousness, I hurried back to
town to pawn the articles I had OBJ
tanned. This I did, never stopping to
think of the danger to myself after
ward, and then fastened homewart!

we had something of a feast at home,

to account for the food I bought.
have here the blood-stained cuffs
with the buttons in them, which I did
not pawn. You will see that Col.
Franklin's initials are written on the

Wright took from his pocket d
small paper, which he opened, and dis
played the cuffs, which were given to
the jury to examine.

It was not possible to doubt the
young mans evidence, for it was cor
roborated by a number of minor cir
cumstances, and besides, it was q
complete explanation of the mys-
terry. Franklin had shot Wright
from behind, had perhaps in a sort
of m%urderous fury beaten him about
the head with his stick and had then
robbed him in order to create the
impression that robbery was the mo-
tive for the crime; then while hur-
rying away from the scene of the
murder he himself had been knocked
in the head and robbed. The testi-
mony showed that he had been in the
Bayou Woods with Wright, that he
had a wound in his head, that his
watch and pin had been pawned, that
Wright had secured the cuff buttons
and the cuffs, that the pistol with
which the murder had been commit
ted was probably his and the ball
fitted it.
There was clearly no case against
Herbert Wright, and the prosecut-
ing attorney himself moved that he
be discharged from custody and that
the court order the arrest of James
Franklin on the charge of murder
until his case could be investigated
by the grand jury.
And SO when Herbert Wright left
the court room with the congratula-
tions of his friends he passed by
Franklin, closely guarded by the
sheriff.
Y X n n 4
The trial of James Franklin took
place a few weeks later and he was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Persistent efforts were made to over
turn the judgment of the court and
the governor was appealed to, but
both the supreme court and the chief
executive declined to interfere and
Franklin expiated his crime on the
gallows.
