Miss Sanford favored the organiza-

Archie Johnson Carried All Sorts Of
Good Friday Intelligence.

- l.,a .stE
Some people may know whether or
not Good Friday. is a legal holiday,
but cityhall denizens are all at sea.
Yesterday afternoon Archie johnson,
the mayors orderly, carried orders to
the heads Of departments to close their
offices today. A short time afterward
Archie came again and announced that
the previous order was cancelled. The
result was a lovely confusion at the
cityhau today. Some Of the clerks
came and some did not. A few Of the
janitors appeared, but the majority
made the day a real holiday.
:, The clerks and janitors who re-
ported for duty were sore, likewise the
department heads, and they we're not
entirely Modified when Archie came
around with the message that the mu-
nicipal departments should close at ]
clock. In some places where bust
ness was light the doors were promptly
locked and the force dismissed for fear
Archie might come again. b..

the mother, who received her wounds
in trying to defend him, is now dead

Lady B~rackenstall was no ordinary
person. Seldom have ! seen so grace
full a figure, SO womanly q presence
and so beautiful a face. She was a
blond, golden haired, blue eyed, and
would no doubt have had the perfect
complexion which goes with such col
oring had not her recent experience
left her drawn and haggard. Her suf-
ferings were physical as well as men
tai, for over II eye rose q hideous,
plum cOlored swelling, which her maid,
a tall, auSterc woman, was bathing as
siduously with vinegar and water. The
lady lay back exhausted upon a couch,
but her quick observant gaze rs we
entered the room and the alert cx-
preston Of her beautiful features
showed that neither her wits nor her
courage had been shaken by her terri
bic experience. She was cnycloped in
a loose dressing gown Of blue and sill

dress was hung upon the couch beside
her.

The three glasses were grouped to-

ana one OF them containing some dregs

them, two-thirds full, and beside it lay
a long, deeply stained cork. Its ap-
