however. convinced me that so clumsy
and transparent an article was not adj
visable. II would. in the first place,
arouse Number Two's suspicious, and
might not, after all. avert the catas-
trophe feared; for he was a man of
resource, who would not be at a loss to
devise some other method for carrying
out his devilry.
SO, under the pretense of trying to
undo the fastening, pulled it into an
inextricable knot, at which | fumbled
so long that, as | had hoped, Number
Two lost patience.
"Confound it ALL" he growled. eff

No sooner was his back turned than
took the sand and sawdust-stuffed
ball out of the pocket that was hidden

Number Two few seconds after had
effected the exchange.

Yes. Open it and cut the string

CHAPTER TX.
A pIABoLICAL PLOT.


The day after the explosion was the
day appointed for the council meeting.
and as l intended to be present, [
babe adieu to Plantagenet Square and
its master, and took train for Leigh.
The Syndicate of ScoNndrels was
tast resolving itself into an associa-
ton OF commonplace criminals, with
very little claim to anything like orig
inality. Under the direction of a mas
ter-plotter like Number One, it had no
doubt been formidable and powerful
organization; but since that arch
scoundrel had, through my instrument
talfty, been sent to his account. the
whole , company seemed falling to
pieces for want of a capable head.
Number Two, who was ambitious of
assuming the dead chiefs mantle, was
clearly an INSCRIPTIONS rascal, but
that he had any special gifts as an
organizer and director had yet to be
proved. The fact that when arrang-
Ing for the meeting which was about
to take place, he had forgotten to give
instructions upon such important
points as the routes to be taken, was

his wife or whether she would pro-
vide him with the cabbage dinner. II
might have meant both or either one.
Vannote thought over it a moment,
and then asked which she meant.
Both" she said.
Then put on your hat" said the
sudden bridegroom. In a quarter of
an hour they stood before a Justice of
the peace. After they had been mar
ried they moved into a tiny house
which Vannote had built. Evidently
he had been thinking of matrimony.
Since they have been married the
husband has not spoken ten words to
his wife, but with the experience of
Knowing him ten years without hear
ing him speak at all, Mrs Vannote is
quite reconciled to her silent husband.
From Ohio there comes another
story which illustrates the statement
that age does not bring immunity.
This story concerns Henry Goldman, a
Columbus millionaire, and his adopt-
ed daughter, Mrs Cora c.. Flora. Cod
man is Al years old. and the bride 80.
Only recently Goldman retired from
business with a fortune to his credit
Some years ago he became Interested
In Mrs. Flora, young widow, who had
been supporting herself by work as
a trained nurse. He decided to adopt
her, and did so. making provision for
her in his will. She made her home
with him, and the man soon fell in
love with her. The marriage is the re-
suit
Thirty, years ago Charles Mckee, of
Kentucky, was undecided whether he
wanted to marry siss Elizabeth Plum
mer or Miss Matilda Wheat, who we're
chums and lived in the same neighbour
hood of Fleming county Finally he
decided on Miss Plummer, who died
three years after the wedding.
His second wife was Miss Elizabeth
HUMPHREYS, who died several years aft
erwards Then he married Mrs. Mar
garet Hasgarty, who died at the age
or 90. After proper season of mourn
ing the still undiscouraged man took
fourth wife, another widow, Mrs.
Olive Davis, who died in the second
year after her marriage to him.
After his second marriage, Mckee
had moved to Indiana. He decided
that for the fifth wife he would 60 back
to Kentucky. Back to Fleming coun-
ty he called at the Wheat homestead.
and was introduced to a Mrs. Doyle.
He was asked if he recognized her, and
after some time succeeded in doing so.
She was Wheat's daughter, one of the
two women he had been undecided
about 80 years before.
She had married soon after he chose
Miss Plummer. and her husband had
died about the time he married his
fourth wife. In about four weeks from
the time he met her again he askd her
TO marry him, and she consented. They
went back to Indiana

This is the blizzard-the twin brother
of the summer cyclone, the air demon
of the great north country, an aerial
tyrant, boEa amid the snow peaks and
eternal glaciers 10000 feet in the air
a Kissing, bowling, seething, deadly
combination of cyclone snow and in
tensest cold, leaping without warning
from it's mountain aerie and sweeping
over the peaceful plains of the low
lands just as Italy in the olden time
was overwhelmed by the Goths, Van
dals and Huns of the north. Ever
caught in one? Well, pray that you
never will be. 1t is calm and pleasant,
and you are going to your home two
miles away. The sun shines; no thought
of coming peril. A low and distant roar
catches your attention. 1t is from the
northwest. You first think it is a
freight train. 1t grows louder On the
northwest horizon is fast rising dark
misty ridge of cloud, apparently rolling
over ON the ground. Flee, man, if you
can; it is yoIlF last chance! On 1t comes
with the S Of the fast mail. In
three mntl,as it is here. Tempera-
ture drops GO degrees, and a sixty mile
gale fills the air with broken iqs, pull
verified snow and dust. 1t blinds you.
YoH cannot see ten feet. In two min
utes you are hopelessly lost. Hair,
eyebrows, whiskers, ears, coat sleeves
and neck are soon filled full Twenty
five below zero, two miles from home
and freezing to death. Neither man
nor beast can live exposed to it. Hun
dreds have thus persisted, gently
rounded mound Of ice packed drift the
sole indication when it is over where
death by the blizzard entombed the
unlucky traveller. Not often do they
come, but when forecasted take no
chances.
