AS may be supposed, Mr.. Bruce was
greatly interested in the proceedings,
having been engaged to ferret out the
mystery which thus far had eluded his
grasp Now to find his man ready and
waiting, so to speak, for arrest and
examination, all in his own house and
through his own will, put a different
phase upon the matter than he had
hitherto conceived possible. He lis

the accounts of Hamilton's alleged
loss of personal identity as he walked

CHAPTER xI-continued.

Several matters connected with the
affair were touched upon, all of which
interested Mr.. Hamilton deeply. In
no way did he endeavor to evade or
conceal-or so it seemed-any event
or circumstance. Indeed, it was a
wonder, they all thought, that his
equanimity was so little disturbed by
what must have been a trying ordeal.
He looked in better health than when
he went away, they thought-younger
and brighter, and more alert, and they
told him so.

At that point Justice Bailey and De-

who was fatally wounded is Charles

An eye witness of the riot in describ

ct . o'clock, when Deputy Sheriff w.
H. McMullin went to a mass meeting
held by the striking miners in wood
at the edge of the town. Many of the
miners had been drinking and the sight
of the deputy made them furious.
The officer was quickly surrounded
by miners who threatened to kill him.

was desperate. fled for his life. finding
refuge in the house of Councilman
Charles Davis. Practically every man

Joined in the chase after the fleeing
deputy, and soon after the latter had
entered the Davis house it was sur
rounded by a mob of 1000 shouting,
cursing miners, who challenged Nc
Mullin to come out.
When McMullin failed to appear
the mob attacked the house and liter
ally wrecked it. The deputy sheriff
was roughly handled, but again man
aged to escape. The members of the
Davis family fled to the homes of near
by neighbors for shelter. Other dep
uties who had been on duty guarding
the property OF the coal company had
been notified of the trouble by this
time and twenty of the rioters were
landed in the lookup at Windber. The
mob, headed by Paul Zills, then
marched to the center of the town and
prepared to storm the jail and release
the rioters. The deputy sheriffs fixed
bayonets to their rifles and sur
rounded the Jail TO keep it from the
mob's possession If possible. The
members of the fire department were
also called out to help restore order
The foreigners were urged to be Or
derly and leave the town, but infamed
by liquor, they refused to listen, greet
ing the efforts to pacify them with
boots and peers. AT a signal the mob
began to close in on the jail, shouting
to the deputies to throw away their
guns and give up the prisoners.
The officers first tried to keep back
the mob with bayonets, but the effort
was Intellectual and when it became
certain that the little band of deputies
and firemen could not stand before
the bowling, infuriated mob they
opened fire.
Those of the foreigners who were
closest to the Jail had already begun
using knives in the attempt to disarm
the deputies. while others fiourished
revolvers. The deputies fired but one
volley, when the foreigners broke and
fed in wild disorder, leaving three of
their number dead in front of the Jail.
The wounded who we.s able to walk
were hurried to their homes, while
an ambulance took the more seriously

SPOKE AS A PEDAGoGUE.
Professor Had No Thought of Arous-
inn Cubld

ing Cupid.
Prof. Jones of the Mathematics de-
partment of Cornell university is well
known among the students, first for
his goodness of heart, thinking no
evil, and second for his unmitigated
ugliness, which letter has won for him
the nickname of "Piute." In one of
his classes there was recently GER
tain Miss Peters, whose physical
charms were below even the coed.
average. She was extremely ill
dressed, awkward, and so ungainly as
to suggest deformity. In accordance
with the professors usual custom sew
eral members of the class had been
sent to the blackboard one morning
each with an assignment to work out
some problem. 1t happened on this
particular occasion that Miss Peters
diagram was rather better than any
of the others. Desiring to compliment
her, and at the same time to rouse
the emulation of the rest of the class,
Prof. Jones remarked in loud tone:
Miss Peters, greatly admire your
figure"
The point was not lost upon the
young men present, whose apprecia-
ton, indeed, found such audible ex-
preston that the good professor was
obliged to ask them to leave the
room.-(New York Times.)

II did. questioned closely into the
matter. There is no doubt whatever
that the man was drowned"
mo doubt it is as you say" said the
bank president. "Well, that removes
Hamilton's story?"
II am inclined to believe it. This
Ashley affair was q false light, and
blinded me for a time. 1t isn't to be
wondered at, perhaps, when the green
haired woman's connection with the
matter is taken into account. No
doubt she was on her way to Canada
to join Ashley when she saw Hamil-
ton, and thought she recognized her
husband. His many DISCUSSES prob
ably misled her for a time. So she
followed him for short distance, and
then, learning her mistake, did not go
through to Portland, but took a train
north of Mechanic Falls
Yes said Mr.. Hartwell, thought
fully, that would explain the matter,
and also how you were misled. But
it is the most astounding thing about
Hamilton's loss of memory! l could
not believe it at first, but the idea
seems more feasible as l think about
it longer. We supposed him to be so
thoroughly reliable in every way, it
seemed impossible that he could be
rogue after ALL"
If he could only remember what he
did while he was away" said Bruce,
thoughtfully, "the mystery would clar-
ify, but l see he fears he may have
done strange things
'Mr. Bruce" said the president, sud
denly, TONY Osborn had a curious no
tion in regard to this matter" and he
mentioned the hypnotic idea as set
performances of DR.. Major, which he
himself remembered Witnessing.
The detective was much interested
in all new or unusual workings OF
science. "Well," said he, after the
subject had been discussed at some
length, Osborn may be right, and it
might have been Ashley who received
the money and altered the notes; but
he is dead, and, in any event, it would
be difficult to have proved the matter.

would ONLY cover the affair with ridi-
cule and imbue the minds of the poor
people with feeling of insecurity"
Il think you are right, Mr.. Bruce"
said the president. "At least, that is
the way the matter looks now. OF
course the examination may bring out
new facts, so it is as well not to make
up our minds to any great extent
"1t is an irksome condition of things
for Hamilton" said Bruce, but un-
avoidable."
Yes; but unavoidable, as you say.
I mrst confess, he bears it with re-
markable equanimity. Looks like in
nocence, hey?"
Yes; if it's a spurious article it is
well initiated. By Jove." said the de-
tective emphatically, "it is the most
mysterious case l ever was concerned

CLOSING OF CAMPAIGN.
Survey of Situation Ten Days Before Democratic Primaries Shows
 Fever Heat.

Little Rock, March 17-The democratic campaign in Arkan- sas will close on March 27, and every day, Sundays excepted, candidates will be on the stump in every county in the state.
 The contests for United States senator and for the governorship are the warmest that have been waged in Arkansas for many years. During the last week of the campaign they will approach a degree of warmth that may appropriately be designated as red hot.
 Some of the best orators in the state, friends of the several can- didates for the two offices named, will fill appointments in various portions of the state during the last week of the campaign. Some of them will deliver two speeches a day, one in the morn ing and one in the afternoon. Most of the work for Gov. Davis by the volunteer campaigners will be done in the northern part of the state. Judge John s. Little, candidate for governor, will have speakers also in the northern tier of counties, and Attorney-General Robt. L. Rog- CTS will be represented, as will Senator Berry in every county, where each has the slightest doubt as to the result, and where they think oratorical efforts on the part of their friends at the eleventh hour will place counties in their columns. No county during the week of the general roundup of the campaign will be sighted. Vote at the pri- mary and abide the result" will the shibboleth of the democratic state central committee.
