 No interference upon our part could have saved the man from his fate, but, as the woman poured bullet after bullet into Milvertons shrinking body l was about to spring out, when felt Holmes cold, strong grasp upon my wrist.

But hardly had the woman rushed from the room when Holmes with swift. silent steps, was over at the other door He turned the key in the lock. At the same instant we heard voices in the house and the sound of hurrying feet. The revolver shots had reused the household.

Here, on the left hand. there stands a shop win dow filled with photographs of the celebrities and beauties of the day. Holmes eyes fixed themselves upon one of them. and following his gaze l saw the picture of a regal and state lv lady in Court dress. with high diamond tiara upon her noble head. I looked at that delicately curved nose. at the marked eyebrows, at the straight mouth and the strong little chin beneath it. Then l caught my breath as l read the time- honored title of the great nobleman and states man whose wife she had been.

 With our black silk coverings, which turned us into two of the most trueuIent figures in London. we stole up to the silent, gloomy house. A sort of tiled veranda extended along one side of it, lined by several win dows, and two doors.

the latter and for eighteen years a
conspicuous member of the upper
house of congress, died at his hotel
apartments in Washington, March Z,
aged 70 years. Death was rue to
pneumonia and defective heart. Sen
ator Bate attended the Inauguration
CEREMONIES on March and his death
is believed to be due primarily to ex-
posture on that occasion. Senator
Bate took his seat in the senate in
1887 and was recently sworn in for
another term of six years. He was
the ranking minority member of the
committee on territories, military af-
fairs and agriculture and forestry, al
so a member of several minor COM

How We Catch Cold,

The rationale of the causation of
the ordinary cold is pretty well I'M
derstood at the present Cay, and it is
generally conceded that when circrl-
Tory disturbances or vital depres-
sions are produced as the result of
localizedsaor general chilling of the
body surface, newly entered or already
present pathogenic bacteria are en-
abled to attack the body with very
good chances of success. At such
times it is said that the powers Of
resistance are below par, and, conse-
quently, the bacteris- gain an easy

telling fashion by Durck. who found
