ing. In fact, 1t did not seem convincing
at all. Many objections occurred to
me. l saw that the whole elaborate
structure was built upon quicksand
There was no proof that any Of the
clippings referred to Tremaine or
Thompson. There was no proof that
Thompson had gathered them with
elaborate care and of set purpose.
There was no proof
Yes. There was one point susceptible
of proof. BY it the whole structure
would stand or fall.

How long have you been connected
with the prison, Mr.. Jones?" l asked.
II began thirty years ago as guard.
But what made you think could iden-

We've rather imagined" l answer

Jimmy brings him home. Tremaine
has to make the best of it, since there
isn't time to get Thompson out of the
way again. Anyway, he's so dead
drunk that Tremaine anticipates no in
reference from him. He shuts him in
the bedroom and sits down to wait for
Miss Croydon.
''She arrives promptly, despite the
rain, and we can imagine that the dia-
logue which followed was not OF

full of fire, and they made the sparks

Thompson is aroused by the voices
or perhaps wakes naturally, comes into
the outer room and interferes. He is
still half drunk; perhaps he threatens
Tremaine. At any rate, Tremaine

down; then in sudden black frenzy

dering of the Centaur, with all on
board. Tremaine was a passenger and
she knew it,
"Good" nodded Godfrey. THAT'S
undoubtedly it. Let me see," and he
turned back to the clipping; "that was
in 1892. His name, perhaps, appeared
among the missing; she waited eight
years, and at last, believing his death
established beyond a doubt, married
again.
"Now let us see what Tremaine was
doing. In 1896 he was in Australia,
planning bank robbery. He meets
Thompson, descended from his estate
of captain to that of common sailor.
Tremaine takes Thompson in on the
plan, and Thompson, to get even for
that treachery at Sing Sing, gives him
away. Tremaine, no doubt, got peni-
tertiary sentence. He probably broke

safe place to stay in hiding until the
hue and cry after him was over. He
would have some acquaintance with
the island, if he landed there from the
wreck.
"Thompson learns where he is-per-
haps even sees him at st. Pierre-and
puts bouquet to his revenge by driv

my brain in vain trying to imagine

"Wel," remarked Godfrey, while
we can't, of course, give its actual
text, l don't think it very difficult to
guess its general tenor. We know
what Tremaine came here to do-he
came to blackmail Mrs. Delroy. It's
pretty safe, then, to suppose that the
message told him that she was black
mailable-in other words, that she had
married rich man. No doubt IRE
maines money was running low, and he
jumped at this chance of replenishing
his purse. Thompson was working his
way toward st. Pierre to join him, and

Thompson false second time.

In Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. pa severe storm
of alternating rain, sleet and snow
caused one of the worst tie-ups this
city has known in years. But few
telegraph wires were working out
of the city today in any direction,
there being no communication what
ever with the east.
Inside the city telephone commu-
nications are badly crippled and cleo
tric lines of street cars almost out
of commission. The elevated roads
still are the greater sufferers. Many
passengers on Aurora lines and the
Chicago l.. were compelled to remain
all night in depots when the road
ceased operations on account of the
storm.
Large commission brokerage
houses which ordinarily use from 20
to so wires leading to all parts of
the country were unable to send
messages in any direction and were
without advices from other parts of
the country.
The weather bureau announces
that the storm was moving slowly
eastward with the center just north
of Indianapolis. 1t was predicted
that the area of low barometer
surely moved eastward, although pre-
cipitation might be expected in this
section for another "a hours. Rail-
roads are in a much better condition
TO contend against the sleet and snow
than electric lines which were at
times during the day in desperate
straits. On some of the lines run
ming east of here hundreds of miles
of railroad wires are down and dis
patchers are having trying time in
moving trains.
Great trouble was experienced to-
day by people who use electric lines
in the outlying sections of the city
to reach their places of employment.
The great steel mills in South Chi
cago were barely able to muster
enough men to operate all their de-
partments early in the day and after
time some OF them closed down. .

II is learned that orders to this

France has three vessels within

COLDER WEATHER PREDICTED.

The weather man has begun to
dish out little more "wintery"
weather. ard that portion of the
public which has been clamoring for
cold weather seems to shortly have
its desires gratified. The weather
man started off Saturday with the
hottest January day in the history
of the city. Sunday he made it d
little colder, and Monday sent in a
fresh supply of winter weather.
This morning the residents awak-
ened to a real winter morning and
the indications are for continued
cold weather.
The weather man sends opt the
following for Kentucky"
flurries this afternoon and probably
tonight, with much colder. We'd

Last night and today the coolest
was 10 degrees and the highest 2S.
Miss Cornie Grundy, secretary of
the Charity club, today began to ex-
perience a real winter rush of appli-
cants from the pauper population.
The mild weather kept the secre.
tary comparatively idle for the first
several weeks of the winter season,
but now that cold wave is here, she
is receiving many applications, and
business is beginning to pick up.
This morning many applicants ap-
peared at the court house for fuel
and food. The applicants are gen.
orally of the deserving kind, and the
bogus pauper is rapidly disappear
ing, due TO the work of the investi-
gator, Mr. j. X. Gray, who sees that
the applicant is really in need before
any fuel or food Is given him.

That Trustee Byrd Can Hold Two

DIR. w. II. Pitcher. secretary OF the
school board. today received an opin-
ion from City Solicitor James Camp
bell, Jr., on the eligibility of School
Trustee w. T. Byrd.
Mr.. Campbell states he has been
unable to find anywhere in the con-
stitution a recognition of the Office OF
deputy county clerk, but that the
statutes provide for the appointment
duties and fees OF such deputies. The
court of appeals. he says, has de-
clared the Office of deputy sheriff
incompatible with a city office, but
that this Office is recognized by the
constitution. and since the Office OF
deputy county clerk is not. he is of
the opinion that that Office is not in.
compatible.
The school officials, however, con-
tend he is in error in his opinion.
That even II the constitution does not
recognize the office of deputy county
clerk. the statutes do. and that where
the constitution does not make pro-
vision in any matter, the statutes
govern 1t.

Being Considered.
THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 23.-Senator
Cox called up the bill of Senator Ec-
ton, providing for the raising of the
age of consent from twelve to six
teen years today, and asked that 1t
be placed upon its passage.
This was done, and the bill was
adopted without a dissenting vote.
Many members had left the cham
Der at the time the vote was taken.
1t received 25 votes.
The bill makes the penalty for vio-
lation, confinement in the state pris-
on from ten to twenty years.
Communication was sent to the
general assembly yesterday after
noon by Gov. Beckham, asking the
legislature to appoint committee
from both houses to attend the con-
ference in Washington for the pur-
pose cf securing uniform divorce
laws throughout the country. The
matter has received considerable at
tention from the chief executive and
a number of the members. of both
houses, and it is practically certain
that the governors request will be
complied with.
In his message the governor urges
the desirability of having uniform
laws on the subject of divorce, and
states that 1t is his earnest wish to
have the state represented at the
conference. He announces that he
will appoint the Hon. John ID. Car
roll, of Henry county, as delegate.
1t is probable that Senator Wheel
er Campbell will be chosen to rep
resent the senate, but ii is not
known who will represent the house.
The expenses of the committee are
to be paid by the state.

ter Lincoln, of the Louisville Bar AS
sociation, appeared before the Suf-
frage and Election committees of

of the non-partisan election law
which was prepared by the associa'
tion.
Judge Gregory was the first speak
er, and he laid particular stress on
the proposition to remove the police

He said he had witnessed enough
in the last election to know that II
certain practices were repeated

suit.
Under the present law the regis
tration lists cannot be carefully
