seated as it transpired at the very table where the
dramatic agent had INDUCED in his antics few
nights earlier. He snatched full bottle of cham
payne from the ce-pail in which it rested beside
a neighboring table and dealt Karl murderous
blow with it the back of the head.
Maggie who actually and heard what took
place gave far clearer account of it than the horr
fed witnesses in the restaurant with activity
would have credited of his corpulence, and
which he certainly did not exhibit in his normal life,
Steindal after he struck Karl turned and out of
the room upsetting two tables and chairs, and
disappeared through narrow doorway. Some gentle
rushed after him. and others helped to raise Karl
who had fallen as dead, headlong on the table.
Nora Cazenove knew nothing of this. She was
only acutely aware OF the swapping of the invisible
link which held her fast Hence, it is easy enough
to understand the different cries of horror and be-
wilderment with which each girl announced her
dread discovery
A policeman strolling past the Pail Mall exit
from the hotel through which Steindal gained the
street, supplied succinct narrative of subsequent
events far as the would-be murderer was con-
cerned. At the curb was standing an empty han
son. the driver of which fastening the nose-bag

Steinda1 sprang into the vehicle, leaned the
splash board seized the reins and shook the horse
into fast galop.
The animal, Londoner by adoption, was accus-
toned to this frenzied leap into activity when a
whistlng fare was to be secured from rival. Being
careless beast, it kept the right side of the
road, which in England is the wrong SIDE and after
brief career in comparative safety, met heavy
bus coming round the corner from Waterloo Place.
Steindal, yelling Historically in Spanish Che

the lightning struck him) urged the horse to charge
the oncoming Colossus. But the horse knew better
than that, and swerved into the open space in front
of the Duke of Yorks column. The unoccuped
square traversed at full speed. Ere the steed.

ress, it flying down the long flight of steps
into St. James's Park.
The horse thoroughly frightened now, lost its
GOODNESS when the level ground reached
more. 1t dashed on blindy, caught the vehicle
against tree and the policemen and the wayfarers
who then came the scene extricated the insensi-
BILE traveller from the ruins of the cab. He had
been badly injured by the punging hoofs and fully
six months elapsed before he restored to health
and Paris. In that time great many things had
happened. Steindal thenceforth passed out of
Karls life. No action taken against him for
the attempted murder. The mad act was attributed
to sudden mania, but he was warned that he must
avoid England in future, if he would not undergo
the punishment of the law.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Fall of the Curtain

I SUPPOSE there are some superci1ious 1morta1s
| who will cav1 at what they may be pleased to
term the sensationalism of those dongs in the
London opera-house and the Italian villa. There
will surely be others ready to scott at the fine rage
into which Hooper and worked ourselves in order
to arrange the somewhat involved love affairs of
a friend. Well, | only reply that Karl did not
die-in fact, if they turn back to the opening
lines of this history, they will find his future career,
a peaceful life blessed by enchanted matr1mony,
set forth in the clearest words at my command.
However, | wish to explain why it about
that Nora Cazenove and Maggie Hutchinson actually
knew that Karl suddenly stricken out of con-
seriousness, state which, to their overladen souls,
was equivalent to his death
Karl, locked in the suite of rooms at the Pail
Mall Hotel, awoke from his restful sleep about eight
o'clock. He was surprised to see by the shadows
and the appearance of the streets that the hour
was really as late as glance at clock revealed
to his increduous eyes. He wondered why and
where Hooper had gone. Thinking that his friend,
having evidently dressed for dinner, was dining
alone rather than disturb him. he rang for the valet,
and then came the explanation of the locked door.
He yielded to a quick anger and ordered the
attendant to open the outer door Immediately. Of
course he was obeyed. Then he went downstairs
and entered the restaurant
Ask the chef to prepare poulette casserole
he said to Jules the head waiter.
Left to himself, Karls thoughts began to wander.
He asked himself how Hooper and | were speeding
missions, because by this time he knew what
friends doing. 1t is matter for surprise that
he followed rather than the American in his
musings. He was aware of that which l only sus-
pected-that Maggie had shut him out from the
sanctlty of her presence until her edict burned
up the electric ardor of the conditions set in
motion by Karls proposed marriage to Nora and the
mere suggestion of her own union to the Italian.
Then he looked at his watch, Constantines gift,
and, after noting the hour eightforty M, he idly
read the inscription inside the gold cover. By a
queer trick of memory, his mind went back to the
starlt sky and the black waters of the Bay of
Bengal He heard again the plash of the oars,
saw the Armenian cinging to the buoy and plungng
frantically, and renewed his childish the long
rows of shining lights in the ships hull and the way
in which her huge dark bulk lowered above the tiny
boat when the sailors pulled alongside. Then the
black mass seemed to topple on him, there
blaze of vivid light and Karl lost consciousness.
What had happened. was this. Steindal vengeful
Infatuated ape entered the restaurant just
as Karl opened his watch. His dark eyes contracted
and darted lambert glare at the stalwart figure

LIBEL SUITS.

Libel damage suits are a poor invest
ment for anybody Some time ago
California paper cast up the libel cases
for the past year in the State and found
that of 100000 damages claimed ver-
diets for the plaintiff only realized one
fourth of one per cent. For the amount
of time and capital invested and of the
profits hoped for, the dividends from
California libel suits are scarcely larger
than those obtained by the famous
syndicate organized to extract gold
from seawater. And what is said of
California is true of most other parts
of the United States.
Many libel suits, some not unknown
TO Hawaii, are not seriously brought
at least not seriously in the eXpecta-
ton of cash returns We have known
men, in process of press exposure for
their misdeeds, who brought libel suits
TO direct the public eye from themselves
TO the other fellow-to change the sub
ject as II were. The bigger the scala
wag the more likely he is to draw such
a herring bone across the scent. Others
sue for mere bluff. trying thereby, to
brighten the newspaper from its plain
duty. Few such suits ever come to
trial.
One reason, In cases that are fought
out. why the verdict is usually for the
defendant If the latter happens to be
a reputable newspaper. is that the
American distrusts all attempts to
abridge the freedom of the press. He
knows, If he is intelligent, that but for
the press. this land today would be
overrun by scamps. Here in Hawaii
the press, though late at the work,
saved poor Old Sumner from being de-
voured by legal beasts of prey; 1t has
stopped the loot of estates by highly
feed receiverships; it has put down get
rich-quick concerns; 1t has brought
dishonest legislators and chiefs of de-
partments to book and driven some o.
them into exile. Direct personal at
lacks have had to be made IN thes,
cases because direct personal offences
had been committed; libel suits have
followed, and the power of the courts
has even been misused to muZzle thu
newspapers, yet utterly without result

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-The feature OF
the political situation here today was
the filing with the board of elections of
the city of a general blanket protest
address against the so-called Municipal
Ownership League candidates. headed
by Representative .F:iiiam Randolph
Hearst. 1t demands that their names
do not appear on the official ballot On
the ground that the men who signed
their petitions were for the most part
regularly enrolled Democrats or Repub-
licans. and that the election law of the
State does not permit of the recogni-
tion of spite" candidates.
The hearing before the board today
has been entirely technical In character.
The attorneys for the Hearst candidates.
headed by Melvin Pallister. contended
for the regularity of their ticket. and
the opposing attorneys quoted large sec
tons OF the primary election laws
in defense OF their position

Twenty eight Serious
Disasters on Great Lakes

Although not all the vessels on the
lakes are accounted for. IL was believed
late tonight that the last accounts of
serious disasters had been reported The
boats still TO be heard from are of suf-
ficient size and seaworthiness to safely
weather the storm, while the few smaller
ones were near enough to shelter TO es-
cape any dangerous fights with the gale
Accounts bring the total number OF
serious disasters TO twenty-eight, and
the loss of life to twenty-five persons.
In addition there are about a score of
vessels that were quite badly damaged.
and large number of others that were
not damaged enough to delay them on
their trips. The reports today fairly
sustained the accounts of Friday as to
the monetary losses to the shipping in
terests. The estimate places the loss at
| over s2oo0G00.
The barge Malta. which broke away
from its tow. in Lake Michigan. put in
an appearance at Fort GratIot light
house.
The steamer Progress. which is five
days overdue. is thought TO be safe in
Lake Superior.
A late report from Mackinaw City said
that the steamer Republic went ashore
on Major shoal. between that point and
Mackinaw island and Is leaking
The steamer Siberia was sent ashore
by her crew on the Canadian side near
Buffalo this afternoon. having sprung a
leak during her battle with the waves.
The crew were rescued by a passing
steamer.
On Lake Huron the gale wrecked its
seyerest vengeance IN the loss of the
Minedosia OF Kingston Ten lives were
lost
Though exact figures as to members
! OF crews are not obtainable, II is esti-
mated that about one hundred persons
were rescued from death through the
efforts of life-savers Friday. AT sew
eral ports tugmen rendered valuable
aid 10 the Government service.
