heart on fire for Madeleine
She took a candle and went slowly
sup the stairs toward her beloved little
room, her pale gold hair cleaning in
the light, and the amethyst cross shin
ing on the front of her white gown.
AS she Went up, the tender-hearted
aunts stood helpless. motionless and
melted with grief. Poor child! Poor
moaned the other. Then they heard
loud cry from above. Transfixed with
fear they could scarcely move, but
nearing another cry they rushed up
the stairs to the little room. The door
stood open, the moonlight Streamed
through the stained glass window,
llghted candles stood on the cabinet,
on the table was spread an Oriental
cloth OF crimson, blue and gold, and
heaped on it were rich ornaments, in
dishes of gold and silver were rare
fruits and dainties and odd jars of
syrup In the center of the room, the
rose light falling on her head, stood
Madeleine, clasped in the arms of a
tail and much bronzed young man.
sweetheart, sweetheart I knew
you would Gomez
My poor little love, my Madeleine.
OF course I came.
The explanations took nearly all
night, for Jack would not leave the
house and Madeleine would not let
him out of her sight. The sudden
shock of seeing him and her dear
dream come true in her own little
room had completely restored her lost
memory and everything was as before.
Then they sat down to the Oriental
feast and discussed the dainties he had
carried with him all the way, not trust
ing them to arrive any other way
His experiences after the sinking of
the ship were a long story. After drift
ing around for several hours, he was
picked up by boat load of sailors. and
in all open boat with scanty provisions
they had tossed for weeks. Cast on
the shore of Japan, he was half dead
from exposure and couldn't tell his
name to those who carried him to the
hospital. It was the first of October
before he was I'D and out, and then,
starting at once for home. knowing
nothing of Madeleine. he determined
to carry out her poetic idea in keep
ing the promised tryst. Slipping up
the back stairs while the family were
in the parlor. he had just time enough
to bring out his treasures and arrange
them before Madeleine came in.
"And now. sweetheart" he said in
conclusion, are you ready to go with

Yes, my Porphyro."
But child" exclaimed the startled
aunts, ''it is nearly three o'clock!"

HOWE'S SUGGESTION.
Fifth Ward Councilman Says Pave
Avenue by Resolution.

That the city council go ahead and
pave by resolution is what Council
man S. T. Howe, chairman of the
ways and means committee offers in
place of a friendly law suit.
4 believe that the city council
should go ahead" said he, "and pass
a resolution to repave, say one block
on Kansas avenue and then let the
courts decide whether the property
owners or the city at large should pay
for the pavement. think that the
city council should proceed under the
assumption, after the resolution has
been passed. that the property owners
should stand for the expense. I be-
lieve that the courts viii sustain the
action of the council Surely the
council should have some rights when
property owners refuse to pave, and
be able to force them into position.
IT am not in favor of a friendly law
suit which makes the city assume a
position that the requirement. of Kan
sas avenue should be paid out of the
general fund. believe that the prop
erty owners should pay for the re-
pavement. It certainly will cost them
less in the end to pay for repaving
Kansas avenue than if they assume
that it is repairs, for it means the en-
tering wedge for paying for the re-
pairing Of other streets in the city
from the general fund and they will
have to bear their portion of that
burden
at am in favor of having a petition
presented and then let the question OF
repairs or repaving be settled by a
suit" said Councilman Green. 81 be-
lieve that we ought to pay some at
tentio3 to the city's legal department
when he advises us that the general
fund can not be obligated in advance.
If we are not satisfied with that we
should then seek some further legal
opinion. -

The Man Now in Lawrence Jail
on a Serious Charge.
POISONED CANDY SENT.
Jury Indicts, Charging Assault
With Intent to Kill.
Chemists Say Arsenic Was in
Pin Holes in Candy.
Sangster Denies All and Will
Fight ExtraditiOn.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. At has de-
veloped here since the imprisonment
OF Seaton W. Sangster on the charge
of sending poisoned candy to his wife
and daughter in Chicago that the
Sangsters were married in Newton,
kan, in 1884. They lived in Bloom
ington, Ill, until recently when Sang
ster is said to have left his wife and
child. Then Mrs. Sangster and her
daughter went to Chicago. Sangster
has heard the news OF his indictment
in Chicago by the grand jury today on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill and has engaged attorneys and
viii resist extradition. He has re-
ceived several kilograms from Chi
cago friends offering help and express
ing faith in his innocence.
Sangster, who is a salesman for a
confectionery house, admits sending
his wife a box of candy but declares it
was from his sample cases and alb
soiutely pure. He says that his wife
was jealous of another woman and
once before had him arrested at Ar
kansas City, Kan, on the charge Of
eIopement.
Mr. Sangster has been paying his
wife a monthly allowance since sepa-
ration. It was with the last payment
that the candy was sent.
The story comes from Chicago that
Professor w. J. Haines of Rush AIedi-
cal college reported to the police that
a chemical analysis of candy which
caused II year old Margaret Sangster
to become severely i'll contained ar
senic in sufficient quantities to cause
death.
Three boxes of the candy are said
to have been received by Mrs. Sang
ster in a suit case sent by her husband.
She and her daughter ate some of the
sweets and became suddenly i'll. On
investigation it was said that powdered
arsenic had been poured into holes
bored in the sticks of candy.
