STEINERTONE PIANOFORFE. Demand Among Artists for it at

STEINERTONE PIANOFORFEI.
 Demand Among Artists for it at
 RecitaIs and Concerts.
 The SteinertOne Pianoforte is ir-
 risistable. There is an increas-
 ing demand among the artists of
 the pianoforte to use this fine in~
 strument They choose it for their
 concerts because 1t is the best pia-
 no through which they oan give a
 true interpretation of all compost
 tions. Its tonaI effects, it's great power, the exquisiteness of its touch and its wonderful action en- nance the artists playing making it a delight and euthuses the player to high musical and soulful interpretation.
 The recital given in East Haven Congregational Church 8 few nights ago was 9 charming proof of this. That sterling artist, Miss Antoinette Brett, graduate Of the Yale Musical School, never played with more artistic expres- !! sion. At her touch the SteinertOne piano spoke from its very soul and buch beautiful tone has never I been heard.
 1 This pianoforte speaks it's own I ptaises. It will easily convince I people of it's superiority over other I makes It's superiority is not ! found only in one quality but in ! ali. The SteineEtOne started where 4 other pianos left off and stands in \ a world of it's own.
 4 no company is best pianos at
 manufacturers' prices. This Iib-
 erai offer is possible because the \ pianos are sold, only at the 3ac- 1 tory, 106 Park St., New Haven,
 Conn.

of reasons. or for no reason at all.
 The sun was low when Darrel got Up and staggered on. He must have food and had hopes that he could se- cure it in some covert way at the War Eagle mine.
 Still pushing from covert to covert through the rough country that paral- leled the trail he kept persistentIy westward The sun went down and darkness began 10 fall but. although his head swan for weariness and his limbs almost refused to support him. the ie@itive continued to struggle on.
 Just as he felt that he must sink to the ground and lie there for the rest Of the night. the whinnying of a horse reached his ears The sound did not come from the trail but from some point on his left
 Turning in that direction he made his way painfully through a small coulee whose steep banks flung a heavy shadow about him The pas sage was short and he came out abruptly into a cleared space lying full in the moonlight
 Before him stood a horse secured by stake-pin and length of rope Be- hind the horse was an old ruinous log hut-evidently relic marking back 10 earliest pioneer days
 Darrel advanced closer to the horse, which whinnied again and tramped im- patiently. A shock of surprise passed through him when he came near enough 10 see that it was the calico eayuse" ridden by the man in cordu- roys

 That other fellow went up with the wagon, did he?" inquired Cliff.
 Sure He was hangin' to the lines when l shot out O the wagonbox with the seat. He stayed with the wagon and the high explosive. all right. an I reckon he's still with em Got blowed ter atoms, that's what he did"
 The Sandy Bar men exchanged alances. then swerved their eyes to take in the havoc wrought by the eX- plosion.
 Don't ye know Uncle Alb. that was the chap that killed Sturgis and gave HIS the slip at the Bar last night?'
 'Ye don't mean it,"
 "Its the truth. returned Cliff. We saw you inst before you took that turn in the trail and We knew the man in a minute.
 Then. returned Gryce, after q period of rejection that's why he lot the bronl5s out inst'id {, puIlin 'em in after he looked back an saw yoe eomin'. He got up painfully. Well, he added "it.s all right five hundred pounds O high explosive is as good as a tree and a rope, only mebby not SO satfsfyln Wonder how m goin' ter set myself right with the super, at the War Eaele?"
 The Sandy Bar men were not con- cerned with Uncle Abs troubles and dismounted 10 make more thorough examination of the surroundings From the thicket above, Darrel watched them moylng here and there searching for any gruesome relics that might have been left.
 All that was found was the crown of a derby hat deep in clump of torn and twisted hazels.
 It's Darrel's." said Cliff, walking towards his companions and holding the object up for inspection. 'Th ere is no doubt about it, boys Fate has taken this matter in hand and avenged the murder of Sturgis. Darrel is dead. .
 "It would be heap more satisfyin' if we could find, some remains ter prove it, ayerred one of the men. Would it be possible for man to be blown off the face of the earth like that?"
 Why not" rejoined Cliff, inpatient ly. If the wagon and it's load were blown to atoms, the same fate must have happened to Darrell.
 Let's have a look around before we settle on that answered the doubter. Tt seems as tn hough we ought to find somethin'."

CHAPTER VII.
 DARRELL FINDS THE MAN IN COR
 DUROYS.
 DarreIs senses had not been taken away by the fall from the wagon or the dragging along the trail, but for a moment after the explosion his con- sciousness left him. When he stag gered to his feet and looked back, the mountain wagon had disappeared as if by magic, not a splinter of wood or piece of twisted iron being left.
 A huge hole had been seooped out of the trail and great powders had been riven and tossed about in every direc- ton. Beyond the ragged pit lay the form of Gryee. close 10 the seat of the wagon.
 The old man lay still and silent and. after a few moments spent in collect ing his scattered wits, Darrel started towards him. He had not gone far, however when he heard the hoof falls of horses and instantly remembered the party of mounted men which had alarmed him short time before.
 Turning sharply to the right, Darrei plunged into the undergrowth that bor- dered the trail Ascending the steep slope of a hill for a dozen yards, he halted in thicket and crouched there with his eyes on the road below.
 Gryce was sitting up on the ground, rubbing his forehead in a confused way and peering around. The men of Sandy Bar. riding around the spur. came suddenly upon him.
 Darrel watched and listened intent ly. What would Ee the next move of his enemies? he was asking himself.
 The horseman gazed about them in astonishment. Cliff dismounted and walked to where the old man was sit ting.
 Did the giant powder let go, Gryce?" he asked.
 "I'm jest tryin' to igger out what happened ' replied the under foreman. sI seem 10 be all here, but my! wasn't it awful2 I got the roar in my ears yet
 How does it come you're settin' there with the seat of the wagon ?" asked another of the Sandy Bar men.
The Newark journal., 1905-02-10

Like g wrath Darrel turned and glided away. A grim humor filled him.
 They believe I'm dead" he thought. Let them think so; it's the safest way out of this trouble, for me.
 He was bruised in body and limb, but life was at stake and he counted his small injuries as nothing. Through the hills that bordered the trail he took his course, keeping steadily west ward.
 At last, completely Jagged, he dropped down on a rock to rest. He had not had a mouthful of food since escaping from Sandy Bar and the eX- ertions called forth by his flight had left him weak and nerveless.
 What was he to do now? he inter- rogated himself? To don a disguise and get out of the country would be comparatively easy, but he had no desire to get out of the country.
 There was still that unsettled score with Murgatroyd. He was doggedly determined that nothing should come between him and that.
 But that must be secondary, now. His first work, if he could devise a way, must be to prove his innocence of the murder of Sturgis.
 In his secret heart he had perz.fes Cd himself that Murgatroyd had -a Sturgis, and with the deliberate intan- tion of involving him-Darrel IL was q fearful suspicion to hold against man. but none knew Murgaroyd's se- cretiveness, cunning and desperate methods better than Darrel.
 Now, if ever, was Darrels time to take his fate in his hands and make of it what he would. The very audacity of the measure appealed to the fugi- tive
 As he sat there and rested a puzzling thought came to him. It had to do with the explosion of the giant pow der
 Just what had set off the explosive2 9 Ii could not have been the shock caused by the collision of the front wheels of the wagon with the boulder, for the effect would then have been instanta- neous.
 The bronehos had dragged him by the bits out of harms way between the moment of the collision and the mo- ment of the explosion. The time re- quired had been brief indeed, yet long 1 enough to convince him that some thing aside from the wrecking of the wagon had set off the powder.
 It was not until some time afterward that he learned the truth. Gryce was hauling to the mine giant powder that had long been in storage-so long that it had become erystalized. And every miner knows how '.freaky" crystalized giant powder is. It will sullenly sub nit to the toughest handling or will incontinentiy explode for the slightest

You remember them still?
What you whispered me then was the

The oldest, perhaps, in this world; and

One dra comfy only shot swift through

And he stopped not, or needed our limo

From his haste it would seem that his
heart was elsewhere;
Not moment to spare!

Wide-meshed like a net, and the small

But II have kept, in my thoughts busy

That enchanted sweet place where we

And those love words from you.

DROWN IN AUTO
Three Persons Plunge with Machine 70
Death in Chicago River.

Three members of touring party, ore
woman and two men, were drowned, and
two other persons had narrow escapes
from death when a large touring car
plunged through an open draw into the
Chicago River at the Rush street bridge
at o'clock Saturday evening.
William II. Hoops, who was acting as
chauffeur when the accident occurred,
says he tried to pass another automobile
which he had been trailing and this wal
the cause Of the spectacular accident.
Hoops declared there were no signal
lights to warn him that the bridge was
open, and that if there were he could moi
see them in the heavy fog.
Pedestrians saw three machines run
ming side by side up the incline to the
bridge. When they we're within twenty
yards of the opening the machine occu-
pied by Hoops and his friends shot
ahead. An agonized cry was heard by
those in the other carriages as Hoops
saw and realized his peril.
Hoops, the police say, had no time to
attempt to check the speed of the car
although, according to his own story, he
made frantic efforts to swerve the car
On the wet pavement and the vehicle slid
sideways into the open draw. The mo-
ment those in the car realized their dan
ger all stood up in the machine. The
women screamed and the men clung to
the sides of the vehicle as it plunged into
space. So fast was the car going that
1t shot some distance out over the water,
turned suddenly, throwing out all the
occupants, and then Owed into the water.
Immediately every possible effort was
made by those who had witnessed the
accident to offer assistance to those
struggling in the water. The freboat
Illinois and several patrol wagons were
hurried to the bridge. Those on the
street could still see the victims strug-
Cling in the water and occasionally heard
their cries for assistance.
AS this was the second accident of the
same kind to occur at the Rush street
bridge, the authorities at once took steps
to prevent further disaster. Acting May.
or Patterson ordered the police to require
automobile drivers to come to a dead stop
when approaching bridges in the future.
The police were warned to see that the
order is obeyed to the letter.

Frank G. Bigelow, Milwaukee's mil
lionaire defaultfng banker. IL charge Of
United States Deputy Marshal Johnson.
started for the government prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, Saturday night
to serve a sentence of ten years imposed
on him by Judge Joseph V. Quarles at
Milwaukee. Bigelow after pleading
guilty and asked if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed,
gloomily shook his head in the negative.
The maximum sentence of ten years wal
then imposed.
Judge Quarles, a personal friend OF
Bigelow, in a voice denoting suppressed
emotion, said:
1T is something more than regret, ii
is profound sorrow, that l experience il
view of the stern duty by which l am
now confronted. l gladly would have
devolved this function upon another, but
on mature reflection it has seemed that
a public officer ought not to shrink from
the discharge of any plain duty because
of personal consideration The sugges
tons of sympathy that so naturally arise.
based upon personal friendship, must be
silenced by the just requirements of the
law.
by reason Of the great prominence OF
the defendant and the enviable position
that he held in banking circles, the evil
influence of his default has been far
reaching. Here is a man Of high intelli
gence, ripe experience, enjoying the IN
limited confidence Of the people of this
city, occupying high social station, who
appears deliberately to have been sys-
tematically false to his trust and guilty
Of repeated violations Of the law. II
such case the court can see no pal
liating circumstance.
1T is concluded and adjudged on the
plea Of the defendant that the said de-
PENDANT is guilty as charged in the counts
Of the indictment, and the sentence of
the law is that for each Of the counts in
the Indictment he be imprisoned in the
United States penitentiary at Fort Leav
eavorth a period of ten years."
