worker. in which he makes many
startling statements regarding the

Portland.-If the supreme court af. firms the decision of the circuit court of Multnomah county, Frank Guglielmo, convicted of the murder of Freda Car cia, will have the distinction of paying for his own hanging. It is one of the very few cases of this kind on record in Multnomah county. If the decision is affirmed the state can proceed against the estate of the defendant to recover the cost of the trial and incidental ex- penses. In this way Guglielmo will bs compelled to pay for everything.
 In the event that the decree is affirmei the state will first be allowed to recover the costs and then, whatever property is left, the parents of the murdered girl will have a claim against.

 After eloquently painting the perils surrounding the empire, the poet thus addresses the spirit of Russia: Those who bind Thy limbs and ironcap flesh misdoubt That thou art of the rabble rout Which cries and fees with whimpering lip From reckless gun and brutal whip, But who has at heart the deeds Of thy heroic offspring reads In them soul not given to shrink From peril on the abyss brink.

 The door shut behind him. She crossed the room, took down the sepia sketch, and once more laid it be. side the Harry of long ago. She tried to laugh-a pitiful little laugh, which ended in 8 sob.
 Then, with feverish haste, the silver frame was unfastened, the paper at the back torn oil, and, with the aid of a pair of scissors, Isobel removed the tiny headless nails and piece of board.

She dusted the glass carefully with her handkerchief, and, with the lightest, tenderest touch, fitted another scrap of rough drawing paper into the vacant place-a mans head in sepia, with deep- set eyes and an ugly, square jaw.
 Miss Eastwick was too busy hammer ing in the nails again to hear this time step on the stairs. It was only.when the door opened and mans voice spoks that she started guiltily, clasping the silver frame close to her that its con- tents might not be seen.

 The man fastened the violin case mo. chanically, replaced some magazines he had disarranged, picked up crumpled piece of paper which lay at his feet. smoothed it out. and laid it on the ta- ble. :! Good heavens! Isobel, what does this mean?"
 He held 1t out to her, crumpled and torn, the pictured face from the silver frame.
 "Isobel"-the tenderness of his voice was irresistible-"what have you put in that frame?'
 He gently loosened the slender fin- gers and took her treasure from her. seeing at last what she had sought to hide.
 What does this mean, Isobel?" he repeated.
 ''It means-it means-O, Paul, it means that l missed you; and then Harry came, and didn't want me! And, O, if you could have seen him!" she broke off, laughing hysterically.
