as easily as tap from a spoon crushes the shell of an egg, and he went down without cry
 t'That'n do, said Number Two. You did it quite scientifically, my friend. Now, gentlemen, think we'd better make ourselves scarce We shall not have time to attend to this lady's funeral service, after all You're satisfied now, I hope, that it is this woman who was the traitor. It's a lucky thing for us it was so. If man was going to turn informer he'd have taken care to do the thing prop erly, and to have taken time about it, not have gone in some hysterical mo- ment to set of booby country bob bies. She could only have laid infor7 mation just before the meeting, or they'd have telegraphed to town, and got the London detectives down. Those who came were all Marlborough men. And now I'm going to take you all in my confidence. It isn't safe for us to try to get away from here tonight That's why I bluffed the bobbies, instead of show ing fight or making run for it. There's no train we could catch now, and, even if we could do so, the sta- tions will no doubt be watched And if we tried to get away on foot, or to hire a trap, we should be traced to a certainty in an hour or. two, and the whole lot of us just swept up into dustpan by the broom of the law, as easily as woman sweeps up the pieces of broken china jug"
 You talk about it damned lightly" said Number Six; but if that's so, the hangman's moose is as good as round our necks."
 Mot at all," said Number Two. Trust yourself to me, and you are perfectly safe. It so happens that I've lived near Tarborough long time, where I, am looked upon as respecta- ble, if eccentric, member of society, and I shall never be suspected of har- boring criminals or of being one my self. My house is only mile or two away. It's a little old-fashioned place, where and my one man-seryant-no woman shall ever set foot in house of mine-have lived on and off for ten years My mans as safe as I am-I'll go bail for him. Tn fact, I was going to propose him for one of the three there are three now-yacancies on the council. You must all lie low at my house for the present, and when the hue and cry is over you can get away one at time. And while you are there we can scheme out our plan of cam paign together. You see, I'm giving myself away to you entirely by letting you know where live and breaking the secret of my identity. But trust you,s and promise you that you are safe in trusting me.
 Stop minute, said the irrepres- sible Number Six. Do you think that woman peached on us to spite you? If so, she knows who you are. and

CHAPTER XIII.

M BIT OF sBoUNCE" THAT SENT SIX
 POLICEMEN OFF ON A FALSE
 SCENT.
 As he spoke we heard the grating of wheels on the shingly high-road that skirted the cemetery. Tn an instant Number Two had blown out the can de and opened the door softly.
 It was bright moonlight night, and we could distinctly see trap, from which seven men got out noise lessly. They stood moment, and then, in obedience to untitled word of command, each produced something that, from the way in which the moon light glanced upon It, appeared to be polished metal.
 Don't move, any one, on your life,' . said Number Two, in an imperative whisper. We're betrayed, and by that woman; but see way out of it. I'm going to bluff them It's the only way. I'm going to send all but one or two of them-an but one if I can manage it-off on wild goose chase. The one that's left shall find an ex- cuse to bring in here. The instant he crosses the door you must down him. One crushing blow on the head first, and then finish him off while he's un- conscious. Now, I'm going out to them to pretend I'm the informer. It's an smpudent bit of bluff. but it's our only ehance. Even if it fails, we shan't Aa any the worse off than we were"
 AS he spoke he ran forward to meet the advancing constables.
 Why are you so late?" he called out excitedly. They're gone Four of them drove off in trap ten min utes ago, along the road there, to catch the midnight express from Stol- by. I wouldn't leave here for fear of missing you, but wish you'd come earlier. The other has gone to catch the last train up from here. If one of you comes with me we can secure him all right. Two of us will be enough for that job. Hadn't the rest of you better drive after the other four You'll be six to four, but remember they're armed. If you are quick about 1t. you'll get to Stolby station. as soon as they will But there's not an in- stant to lose. If they catch that train they'll be in London before you can telegraph, and the game'n be up."

It was, as he said, an 'simpudent
 bluff" but it succeeded, as impudence often does.
 wouldn't miss 'em for thousand pounds" yelled the man in command
 of the constables. "You stay with him, as he suggests, Brown, and se-
 cure the fifth man. We'll get the other four right enough. But don't let the informer there get out of your sight, mind. His evidence is too valuable to run the risk of losing it." The boldness Of Number Two's ruse and the unsuspecting way in which the police had ''tumbled'' to it fairly took my breath away. Before I had got it back, the trap containing the six de- lenders of the peace was tearing along the Stolby road like fire-en- zine.
 They'll catch them all right" said Number Two gieefully to the consta-
 ble who had been told off to assist him
 in the capture of the conspirator who
 was supposed to have gone to Tar borough station. And now you and
 I'll make sure of the other man.
 We'll have the whole six of them safe ly lodged in stone walls tonight
 Come along-there's no time to lose
 If one of ems left at large, my life wouldn't be worth moments pur-
 chase when they know who's turned in former. But stop minute; my bags l in the shed, and as 1t contains the documents that prove their guilt, the | inspector there won't thank us for
 leaving it behind us. I'll run back
 and get it."
 Not without me-" said the con-
 stable knowingly. My instructions were not to lose sight of you, my i friend; and though it's all square, I've
 10 doubt, I'm bound to obey instruc- | tions."
 l "Oh; come, by all means" said Number Two indifferently. 1 'Yes, I mean to- was the police
 mans answer, as he took his com panion's arm.
 The words were the last he uttered,
 for, as he stopped his head to enter
 the shed, Number Six, who was stand l ing in the shadow of the door, struck him terrific blow with brick he had snatched up from the floor J It crushed in the poor devils skull

 the affair had, as the London and To- cal papers informed us, created sen sation. From them we learnt that Number Two was right in supposing that the information had been laid hurriedly, and only a short time be- fore the meeting took place. Late on the evening in question a letter had been received at the Marlborough po- lice station, stating that the writer was member of a gang of five criIni- nals who were to meet that night in disused shed in the brick-field close to the cemetery. The letter then went on to say that the writer wished to turn informer, and that if the police would surround the shed and make prisoners of those there assembled, the writer would then make himself known to the authorities, and would place at their disposal whatever evil dence was necessary to procure the conviction of his accomplices.
 Under ordinary circumstances the police would have treated the letter as a joke, and either taken no action, or sent, perhaps, a single constable to inspect the shed. But since the dis covery of dynamite at Fassett Square, and the subsequent murder of the care taker, the authorities at New Scotland. yard had instructed the provincial po- lice that there was reason to believe some treasonous plot was matching. and that a sharp eye was everywhere to be kept upon suspicious strangers.
 Hence the Peterborough police super intendent had decided to act upon the assumption that the letter was genll- inc, and had mustered the entire strength of the local constabulary to effect an arrest
 The newspaper account then went on to say that the police had arrived at the shed, only to discover that the birds had flown; for, with the excep- ton of the informer, who was impa- tiently awaiting them, they had found the place empty.
 This, I may remark in parenthesis, was touch of that adroit "official'' garbling of reports or of evidence with which the country-and, fear, some times the town-policeman, who is more anxious to make out case for himself and to convict somebody than to see justice done, contrives to keep his own b1under or oversight from coming to light. As a matter of fact, as the reader knows, the police did not find the shed empty for the very good reason that they had not looked to see if any one were there, but had let themselves be hustled off in pur- suit of the supposed runaways.
 So far as one could judge from the newspaper report, no suspicion that the police had been sent off on a wild goose chase had occurred to them. They accounted for the fact that they had been unable to find any trace of the four men or of the trap by the theory that the conspirators, suspect ing that they had been betrayed, had driven a short distance away, and had then returned to the shed to be re- venged upon the betrayer. This the ory was supported by the circumstance that the dead bodies of person whom the police apparently took to be the informer, as we'll as of the constable in whose charge he had been left, were found lying together within the shed. No mention was made in any newspa- per report of the fact that, though dressed as a man. the dead informer :. was in reality woman; so it is to be

most likely where you live; and in that case to go home with you would be walking right into the lions den, as, if she's told the police, they'll make for your house first"
 don't believe she did know who I am," answered Number Two. Our late chief kept all our identities secret. She may have guessed that I'm man she knew ten years ago, but in that case she knew me under another name. Still, there is the chance that she knows, and she has told the police. You never know how to reckon when you're dealing with women. But I'm going to chance it, and go back to the house; and you'll have to make up your minds pretty quickly, unless you want to stay here till those bob bies find out they've been fooled, and friends? Are you coming with me or not?'
 "Yes, we're coming with you,' was the answer.
 "All right, come along. If the bob bies know who I am they'll make straight for my house, andll be there almost as soon as we shall. So we shan't be wanting excitement this trip, anyway. Come along. Here goes to try our luck! If they are there. the best we can do is to die hard. I'd rather be shot or clubbed in a tussel than be fed up like Michaelmas goose to have my neck twisted on 9 scaffold. Mind, if we are caught, every man jack of us here will play game of swing at Newgate, with a hangman to push us off"

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
n Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark. July 1.-THE case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested, in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his
father makes the following statement:
Last September, my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he
could not walk nor put his shoes on.
The treatment that the doctors were
giving him seemed TO do him no good
and two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills
day, one morning, noon and night
for eight days; at the end of the
eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice,
gave him eleven more Pills. I used
thirty-five Pills in all and he was en-
tirely cured. l consider your medicine
saved my child's life. When the thir-
ty-five Pills were given him, he could
run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
from morning until night"

SPREAD OF ELECTRIC POWER.
Development in Past Few Years Has
Been Wonderful

Recent discussion of plans for the
development of electric power in the
drainage canal at Lockport, ILL.,, and
its transmission to the Chicago will
give more than ordinary interest to
the very comprehensive review of
electric power development in the
July number of Casters Magazine.
1t appears from a recent United
States census bulletin that the aggre-
gate output of dynamos installed in
central stations which supply power
exclusively for lighting and power
purposes is 1878. The number of are
lamps supplied is 419,561 and the num-
Der of incandescent lamps is 1885,
1923. The total income from the sale
of current is 500, 458, APO per year.
In America the first important at
tempt at transmitting power for com
mercial purposes at a potential ex-
ceeding 5000 volts was the installa-
ton of the plant at San Bernardino
and Pomona, Cal, The potential used
was 10000 volts and the distance frSm

ing the war was the result of over
whelming popular war sentiment, and
denying that the Republican party
was entitled to all the glory.
Again on the subject of antitrust
action, he declared that the first at
tack begun on combinations of CAPT
tai was made by President Cleveland.
On the subject of business depression
he said:
"Of course this platform had to con-
tain the usual historical untruth, to
wit, that "a Democratic tariff has al
ways been followed by business adver-
sity-a Republican tariff by business
prosperity Designing and ignorant
men have repeated that SO often that
| am afraid there really are good
many people who believe it, and yet
it is bad history again."
Thereupon, beginning with 1873,
the temporary chairman gave his
analysis of the causes of all the
panics that have attacked this coun-
try, denying that Democratic rule had
anything to do with them.
Facts" Of Foreign Trade.
Mr.. Williams, discussing the for
eign market" plank, said: Plainly,
our foreign commerce has grown, not
because of, but in spite of, the OBJ
structions which have been placed in
the current of trade"
A "Stand-Pat" Order.
In concluding his address, the
speaker said:
The Republican platform, to sum
it all up, obeys the people to stand
pat in every respect except one, and
that is respect in which we'll enough
might very well have been left alone.
That is the plank in which this Ian
guage is used: We favor such con-
gressional action as shall determine
whether by special discrimination the
elective franchise in any state has
been unconstitutionally limited fol.
lowed by the promise made, in that
event, to reduce southern representa-.
ton in the two houses of congress
and in the electoral college. The
pledge is to reduce representation il
it is found that the suffrage has been
unconstitutionally limited The ad-

was Twenty-Five miles. In 1898 the
Pomona circuit was connected in
series with that to San Bernardino,
making distance of forty-two and
one-half miles, this being by far the.
greatest distance attained in America
up TO that time. In the same year
Bell of the General Electric company
installed what is known to engineers
as the first ''three-phase plant" at Red
lands, Cal From the autumn Of 1892
to October, 1893, engineers were at
work on the plan for Harvesting the
Niagara cataract, the greatest
achievement in modern electrical en-
cheering.
One of the most remarkable engin-
eering triumphs in this country is
the Harvesting of Shawinigan falls in
the St. Maurice river, not far from
where it empties into the st. Law
renee river and about half way be-
tween Montreal and Quebec. This
plant was installed for the sale of
power in Montreal, eighty-four. miles
away. 1t is intended, however, to
supply power at points all along the
line Of factories and for lighting.
In the light of recent de- elopnent
It is reasonable to expect that the
