MARK MURDERS.
Officers Searching For Bodies of Jew PeddIer and Boy.

-# ; COLCHESTER, Conn.,, Aug. 31.- That GersRon E. Marx, now held i'll the Norwich county jail, is the perpe trator of series of cold blooded mur- ders probably without precedent in the history of Connecticut is the belief of the state officials, who have begun a systematic search for bodies on the Marx farm. Four murders and an at tempt to poison another man can, it is believed by these officials, be traced to Marx.
 The bodies of two of Marks victims, Joe Pavol ahd Joe Palm, have already been found, and Marx is awaiting trial wife being held as witness for the state. The two bodies for which the search was begun are those of an eighteen-year-old boy and a Hebrew peddler.
 The boy, who was known as Harry, arrived in New York from Russia about three years sago, and he came here soon after to work for Marx. He worked on the farm for about six months and then suddenly disappeared. Marx was asked to explain the lads absence and said he had gone to Hart ford to find employment. Beyond that he would not talk about the boy
 The Hebrew peddler went to the Marx house one evening two years ago, and he was not seen alive again so far as known.

BANK NOTE WITH A HISTORY.

Apropos of the return of Lord Dun donald, many people may not know that there is in the Bank of England a G1,OO0 note which recalls sad mem- oGies of the first Earl of Dundonald. After being disgraced in England on a false accusation, he joined the Bra gillian navy, after service with Chile, and was it's first admiral.
 In 1914 he was sentenced to years Imprisonment and to pay fine of 91,O0O. The money was collected by his constituents at Westminster in penny subscriptions. Very much against his will he paid the fine with q 1000 bank note, on the back of which he wrote: T submit to rob bery toprotect myself from murder, in the hope that I shall live to bring the deinquepts to Justice." - London Graphic.

When My Lord Comes Home From


When My Lord Comes Home From
War.
Slowly the bleak light warmed into
golden radiance, and the touch of
dawn strung the scattered bird-notes
into a chain of joyous song. Pass
ing at last from the forest shades, the
men Of Ivarsdale came out into the
grassy lane-like road that wound away
over the Middlesex hills. Here and
there the little shock-headed boys
who were driving their charges afield
paused knee-deep in rosy clover to
watch the band ride by.
"Yon must be mighty warrior"
they whispered as they stared at the
sober young leader. Take notice
how his eyes gaze straight ahead, as
though he were seeking more people
to overcome" And they spoke en-
viously of the red-cloaked page who
sat on the Group of the leaders white
charger.
Through warm sunshine, tempered
by fresh breezes, they came yet deep
er into the drowsy farmland. Grad
ually the yeomen-soldiers, who had
been wrangling over the mystery of
Edric's actions, dropped one by one
into lazy silence, or set their tongues
to whistling cleverly turned answers
to the bird-calls in the hedges. An
other mile, and from somewhere in
the fields came the swinging chant of
a ploughman, as he turned the soil
between the rows Of rustling corn
"Hail, Mother Earth, thou feeder of folk!
Be thou growing, by goodness of God.
Filled with fodder. the folk to feed
Like the unbinding of a spell, the
words fell upon the farmer-soldiers.
dropping every other topic, they be-
gan to argue over the crops; and after
that they could not pass a harmless
calf tethered to a crab-tree that they
did not quarrel over the breed, nor
start drove of grunting swine out
of the mast but they must lay wagers

he met the old mans eyes gravely.
''Wel-a-way! What use to think
OF it? For the present, at least, 1
am lordless man. Let US speak Of
the defenses we must begin to raise
against Edmunds coming"
While they discussed watch-towers
and barriers, the horses took them
along at swinging pace. Suddenly
the Lord of Ivarsdale broke of with
an exclamation.
ut was not In my mind that we

merrily, Kendred, that they may know
we are coming"
Amid joyous tumult, they swept
over the terrace-like plain and broke
ranks around the old elm Evidently
it was the disbanding place, for the
yeomen-soldiers, one and all, came
crowding around their leader to press
his hand and speak parting word.
In the meadows beyond the stream,
little shepherd boys had heard the
horn and were swarming, spider-like,
over the hedges, sending up shrill
shouts. And now women came run
ming across the fields from the farm
houses. waving their aprons. More
children raced behind them; and then
a dozen old men, limping and hob

ment, and they were all over the foot.
bridge and up the slope; and the
sweet clamor of greetings was added
to the tumult. Now it was a crowd
of little brothers throwing themselves
upon big one; now blooming lass
flinging her arms around her sweet
hearts neck; and again, a farmers
little daughter leaping joyously into
her fathers embrace.
In the midst of it, the Lord Of Ivars-
dale looked around and found that
Fridtjof the page was crying as though
his heart would break
How! Tears, my Beowulf!" he
said in amaZement.
She was far beyond words, the girl
in the pages dress: she could only
bury her face deeper in her slender
hands and try to control the sobs
that shook her from head to foot.
But 1t was not long before the
young mans kindness OWNED the
source of her pain. He spoke quick
word to those behind, and waving
aside those before, touched spur to
the white horse. In moment the
good steed had borne them out of the
crowd and down the slope, followed
only by the old cnihts and the dozen
armed retainers.
AS the hoofs rang hollow on the lit
tie bridge that spanned the stream,
the Etheling spoke again in his voice
of careless gentleness ut Is easy to

PARROT AS A DETECTIVE.
Smart Bird Remembered Nickname
IncautiousIy Used


IncautiousIy Used.
A parrot belonging to Mme Tar
by of Paris has won distinction by
leading the police to arrest band Of
clever and notorious burglars. the
band broke into Nine. Tarby's house
at a time when only the bird was
within. AS soon as the mistress re-
turned the bird. much to her surprise,
saluted her with "Hullo, big feet!"
When she discovered the ransacked
state of her house she sent at once
for the police, and upon the commits
sary arriving he was also greeted by
the parrot with the observation.
"Hullo, big feet!"
The commssary resented the re-
mark, and said, "Hush!" to the bird.
which replied at once, "Oh, hurry up.
big feet; you are slow, big feet"
The commissary turned to Nine.
Tarby, and the latter. anticipating a
complaint, fastened to explain to the
indignant officer that the bird had
never used the expression before that
day. At that a light broke in upon
the commissary.
"'Big Feet is the nickname Of no.
torious burglar" he explained. 81 see
it; your bird has reported the rob-
berry"
Following up the clue, the burglar
and his accomplices were soon ar
rested, and the bira is to be produced
as witness against them at the trial.

could see the old forked elm from
here. Hey, comrades!" he called over
his shoulder "Yonder-to the left
the old landmark! Do you see?" His
glance, as it came back, took in his
captive. "The first bar of your cage,
my hawk. Yonder is the first bounda-
ry of Ivarsdale."
Every man started up in his saddle
and the cheers they had held back
upon leaving camp burst forth now
with added zest. Peering over her
captor's shoulder, Randalin looked for
ward anxiously.
Below the plain in whose center the
old elm held up its blasted top to be
silvered by the sun, the land dipped
abruptly toward the river, to rise be-
yond in a long low hill. Rolling green
meadows lay at its foot, and warm
brown fields dotted with matched
farm houses; and it's sides were check
cred with patches of woodland and
stretches of golden barley. Just be-
low the crest, the tower of the Lords
of Ivrsdale reared it's gray walls above
the surrounding greenery. 1t was a
kingdom to itself, with the light slant
ing warmly upon its fertile slopes and
the forest standing like strong army
at it's back.

and because of her utter weariness
tears welled up under the girls heavy
