1t was night when Jack Temple reached
the lone house. His brain was distraught.
lie was as near madness as a man could
be who was able TO control his actions.
Now, when it seemed as if a hitch was
threatened in his murderous scheme, he
lost the little constituencies he had had
left, and resolved that, if the hideous old
couple failed To do his bidding, he would
do the awful deed himself.
When the door was opened to him, the
hall was in utter darkness.
Hush, do not speak" said a voice
follow me. There have been shadows
round the house tonight, and | fear
treachery"
As they reached door it was opened
quickly, and Temple was hurled into the
room to which it gave access. The old
man and woman sat gagged and helpless
on two chairs. Standing up, facing the
door with revolvers in their hands, were
Sir Gervase and Godfrey.
Jack Temple wasted no more breath
than was necessary to rap out an oath.
lie recognized that the game was up and
raising his own revolver, fred point blank
at GeoffrCy's head lie missed the Young
Australian, but as Ralph leaped upon
him. the baronet fell shot through the
shoulder.
1t was impossible for Godfrey to in
terfere in the awful struggle that ensued,
for as the comhatants swayed and twist
ed hither and thither. he could not tell 1T
what moment Temples revolver might
go Off
1t exploded presently, mortally wound,
ing the man. whose mad love had prnted
the bane of his life, and severely iniur-
ing the poacher.
Sir Geryase was roughly attended to,
and then was taken out to the motor car
which had brought Ralph and the baronet
down some hours before. He was driven
as gently as possible 70 the house of a
doctor, where he lay between life and
death for many weeks.
The old couple received a long term of
Imprisonment. The poaeher, after all this
fresh excitement following on his reap.
pearance at Westbury, elected, with the
big reward given him by Godfrey, to
start life afresh in another country.
Before the wedding bells rang out for
Lillian and the lover who had so nearly
lost his life on her account, Gervase Ten
nant insisted upon procaiming to the
world the fact of Geofrey's claim to title
and estate alike. but the story was So
contrived by the young man as to shut
all blame for delay from his uncle.

den death at Youngstown, Ohio, of Walter
l.. Campbell of this city. Mr.. Campbell for
merly resided at Youngstown was at one

Judge of the orphans court there and was
well known as a blind author and editorial
writer of exceptional ability. Two years

Judge Campbell had, in addition to
genial, affectionate and gentle disposition,
an unusually gifted mind. His loss will be
particularly felt at the Washington Chess,
Checker and Whist Club, of which he was
an honored member. His genial nature
made him a general favorite.
Judge Campbell was distinguished for dis :
erection and judgment in business matters,
and was man of affairs. His life story
illustrates what indomitable spirit can
accomplish against adverse circums tances-
even such terrible handicap as total blind
ness from infancy. Notwithstanding this
affiiction he was an expert chess player.
His wife and a son and daughter survive
him. His son, Mr.. Allan r. Campbell, grad
uated with distinction at Harvard three or
four years ago and is now practicing law in
the city of New York.

SANCTION WITHHELD.
Garfield Hospitals Failure to Make
Certain Report Commented Upon.

Until such time as the authorities of Gar
field Memorial Hospital furnish Health OFF,
Ger Woodward with a statement showing
the amount of money received from private
patients treated in the isolating wards at
the institution from July to December DIR.
Woodward will decline to recommend favor
able action on the request of the authorities
for a deficiency appropriation of 5000 for
the contagious diseases annex of the hos
pital
The request of the superintendent of the
hospital for the deficiency appropriation
was forwarded to the Commissioners by
Archibald Hopkins, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the institution The au-
thorities also requested that in the future
the appropriation for this branch of the hos
pital be raised from 81 600 to $1,000, to avoid
regularly calling for deficiency appropria-
ton.
In his report DIR. Woodward says:
Il respectfully return this request to Com
missioner Macfariand, inviting attention to
the fact that of the 100 cases treated in the
isolating wards connected with Garfield Me-
mortal Hospital between July l and Decem-
Der 81 last only ninety-seven were free pa
tients, and to the further fact that the va
rious statements which have come before
the health department from time to time to
show the expenses of these wards have not
shown that the income from such patients
was applied to the support of said wards.
Il respectfully recommend, therefore, that
the chairman of the executive committee of
Garfield Memorial Hospital be requested to
furnish statement showing the amount re-
ceived from private patients treated in the
isolating wards at the hospital between July
l and December 81, 1904; the amount ex-
pended therefrom for the maintenance of
these wards, and the amount now remain
ing on hand and available for that purpose.
Without such data it will be impossible to
form an intelligent idea as to the needs of
the hospital"
Commissioner Macfarland has approved
the recommendation of DR.. Woodward.

iarly called, the plucky employee of the
Dewey Hotel through whose forethought
and promptness the life of Mrs F. Agnes
Merrill was saved at the fire yesterday aft
ernoon at 1347 l. street, has been substan-
TALLY rewarded for his heroism. When
several members of Congress and others
who are guests at the Dewey learned the
particulars of the rescue. as given exclu-
sively in The Star yesterday, they prompt
ly made up a purse of more than $50 for
the young man, who. in addition, was
highly recommended by the donors.
1t is stated by ye-witnesses of the thrill
ing rescue that had 1T not been for the
prompt action of this youth Mrs. Merrill
must have persisted in the flames before
the truckmen of the fire department could
have raised one Of their ladders for the
rescue of the half suffocated woman, as the
arrival of the trucks had been delayed by
the slippery roadways. Joe formed the
plan of rescue in an instant, and, Selling
the ladder. he ran to the adjoining build
ing, followed by the colored porter and eff
fected the rescue with the aid of two po-
licemen and two firemen, as related in The
Star yesterday.
