came quick and East and every inch
of the 1.-the figure was quivering with
strong emotion.
Well" said Milvcrton, you've made
me lose a good nights rest, my dear.
/ hope you'll prove worth 1t. You
couldn't come any other tine-eh?"
The woman shook her head,
We'll, If you couldn't you couldn't.
If the Countess Is hard mistress you
have your chance to get level with her
now. Bless the girl, what are you
shivering about? That's right. Pull
yourself together. Now let US get
down to business" He took a note

You say that you have five letters

to buy them. So far so good 1t only
remains to fix a price. 1 should want
to inspect the. letters, of course. If
they are really good specimens-Great
heavens. is it you?"
The woman, without a word, had
raised her veil and dropped the man
tie from her chin. 1t was dark,
handsome, olear-cut face which con-
fronted Milverton-a face with a
curved nose, strong, dark eyebrows
shading hard. glittering eyes. and a
straight, thin-lipped mouth set in a
dangerous smile.
1T is 1" she said, ''the woman whose
life you have ruined"
Milyerton laughed, but fear vibrated
in mis- voice. You were so very OBJ
stinate,'' said he. Why did you drive
me to such extremities? 1 assure you
l wouldn't hurt fly of my own ac-
cord, but every man has his business,
and what was 1 to, do? 1 put the price

so you sent the letters to my hus-
band and he-the noblest gentleman
that ever lived, man whose boots

his gallant heart and died. You re-
member that last night, when 1 came
through that door, I begged and prayed
you for mercy, and you laughed in my
face as you are trying to laugh now,
only your coward heart cannot keep
your lips from twitching? Yes, you
never thought to see me here again,
but 1t was that night which taught me
how l could meet you face to face and
alone. Well, Charles Milverton, what
have you to say?"
Don't imagine that you can bully
me-" said he, rising to his feet II

your natural anger. Leave the room

The woman stood with her hand

She had drawn a little cleaning re-

shrank away and then fell forward
upon the table. coughing furiously and
clawing among the papers. Then he
staggered to his feet, received another
shot and rolled upon the floor. You've

Finally there was creak from a
chair. and the footsteps ceased. They

the rustic of papers.
So far I had not, dared to look out
but now gently parted the division of
the curtains in front of me and peep
ed through. From the pressure of
Holmes shoulder against mine, knew
that he was sharing my observations.
Right in front of US. and almost with
in our reach, was the broad, rounded
back of Milverton. 1t was evident
that we had entirely miscalculated his
movements, that he had never been to
his bedroom. but that he had been
sitting up in some smoking or billiard
room in the farther wing of the house,
the windows of which we had not seen.
His broad, grizzled head, with it's shin
ing patch of badness. was in the i'm
mediate foreground of our vision. He
was leaning back in the red leather
chair, his legs outstretched, a long,
black cigar projecting at an angle
from his mouth. He wore a semi
military smoking jacket, claret-color-
ed. with black velvet collar. In his
hand he held long, legal document
which he was reading in an indoient
fashion, blowing rings of tobacco
smoke from his lips as he did so. There
was no promise of speedy departure
in his composed bearing and his COM
Portable attitude.
l felt Holmes hand steal into mine
and give me a reassuring shake, as II
to say that the situation was within
his powers, and that he was easy in
his mind. ] was not sure whether he
had seen what was only too obvious
from my position. that the door of the
safe was imperfectly closed, and that
Milverton might at any moment OBJ
serve 1t. In my own mind I had de-
termined that if I were sure, from the
rigidity of his gaze, that 1t had caught
his eye, l would at once spring out,
throw my great coat over his head,
pinion him, and leave the rest to
Holmes. But Milverton never looked
up, He was languidly interested by
the paper in his hand, and page after
page was turned as he followed the
argument of the lawyer. At least, 1
thought, when he had finished the
document and the cigar he will go to
his room. but before he had reached
the end of either, there came a
remarkable development, which turned
our thoughts into quite another chan
mel.
Several times I had observed that

Milverton looked at his watch and
once he had risen and sat down again,
with gesture of impatience. The
idea, however, that he might have an
appointment at so strange an hour
never occurred TO me- until a faint
sound reached my ears from the We
randa outside Milverton dropped his
papers and sat rigid in his chair The
sound was repeated and then there
came a gentle ia, at the door. Mil
verton rose and opened it.
well" said he curtly, you are
nearly half an hour late"
So this was the explanation OF the
unlocked door and of the nocturnal
vigil of Milverton. There was the
gentle rustic OF a woman's dress. l
had closed the slit between the cur
tains as Milverton's face had turned
in our direction. but now l ventured
very carefully to open 1t once more.
He had resumed his seat. the cigar
still projecting at an insolent angle
from the corner of his mouth. In front

LIVES SAVED BY CREW OF THE
TUG WHICH WAS TOWING
THE BARGE.
TRIED TO CROSS TUGS STERN
HAWSER OF TUG KNOCKS CAP.
TAIN, WHO WAS STEERING
LAUNCH, OVERHEARD.

Beverly, N. j., Oct. "a. - A launch
collided with a barge in the Delaware
river off this place late yesterday at
ternoon. resulting in the drowning Of
seven of the occupants of the little
boat. The other three were escued
by the crew of the tugboat Bristol,
which was towing the barge when the
accident happened. Those rescued
are Capt. John Winch, the owner Of
the launch, w. F. Russell and ]. Ruth
erford.
Up to a late hour the names Of only
three Of the victims were ascertained.
They are William Winch, sol of the
owner of the launch; John kllis and a
man named Russell.
The launch was hired by eight men,
most of whom lived in the northeast
ern part of Philadelphia. The elder
Winch took his son along to assist him
in running the boat. The day was
spent ear Croydon, on the Pennsyl-
vania side of the river. The start
home was made late in the afternoon.
Tries to Cross Tugs Stern.
Opposite this place the launch met
the tug Bristol, in command of Capt.
Mott, which was towing a barge to
Bordenstown. Whether Capt. Winch
theless he attempted to cross the tugs
stern. Capt. Mott hailed him and
tried to prevent him doing so. Capt.
Winch was standing at the wheel Of
the launch as he went around the
stern Of the tug. The hawser of the
tug struck him and knocked him over-
board. Before the captains son or any
other member of the party could take
the wheel to steer the launch clear Of
the barge the latter struck the frail
boat amidships, capsizing it.
The launch rolled under the barge
and it's occupants went with it. Capt.
Mott put the tug about and
Went to the Rescue.
He and his crew threw ropes and life
preservers to the struggling men in the
water, but they were only able to save
three of them. The rescued men were
landed here by the tug and cared for
at a hotel.
Capt. Mott, assisted by several resi-
dents Of Beverly, went in search Of the
bodies and were rewarded by finding
three, but darkness put an end to the
work. The local authorities requested
the Philadelphia police to send a tug
to Beverly to drag for the other bodies,
and a police boat was ordered to the
scene. She arrived here late last night.
The launch was washed ashore. 1t is
badly damaged.

PACKERS MAKE A NOVEL PLEA.
Special Plea in Bar Of So-called Beef
Trust Indictments Is Filed.

bIA0 ti'StSS 10 ~
Chicago, Oct. 25. - Declaring that
testimony the packers were compelled
to produce before the secretary of com
merce and labor was used by United
States District Attorney Morrison in
obtaining an indictment against the
packers, and alleging that, inasmuch
as the same issues as mentioned in the
indictment were raised and disposed of
in an injunction writ issued by Federal
Judge Grosscup, the packers who are
under federal indictment here charged
with illegal conspiracy yesterday again
attacked the famous so-called "beef
trust" process.
A special plea in bar and an addition
al special plea in bar were filed by
counsel for the packers. The nature
of the special plea in bar
Was a Surprise
to the government officials, although
they were aware of what would be
pleaded in the additional plea, the is
suance of an injunction by Judge
GrOsscup.
The special plea sets up assertions
concerning Investigations by the COM
missioner of corporations and alleges
that the defendants were compelled to
testify and to produce certain books
and other data, and that thereafter the
matter was submitted to the president
of the United States, and finally to the
United States district attorney here,
and that the district attorney used the
material in seeking indictments
against the defendants. Because of
these alleged facts the defendants ask
that the indictments be dismissed.
