CHAPTER VII.
CONTAINS A SURPRISE.

The first object brought to light, about
two feet beneath the surface. was a
piece of dark gray wooden stuff which,
when the mold was removed, proved to
be part of a woman's skirt.
With frantic eagerness l got into the
hole We had made and removed the soil
with my hands, until suddenly touched
something hard.
A body lay there, doubled up and
crushed into the well-like hole the men
had dug.
Together we pulled it out, when, to
my surprise, on wiping away the dirt
from the hard waxen features, recog.
nized it as the body of Armida, the
woman who had been my servant in
LeghOrn and who had afterwards mar
ried Olinto. Both had been assassinated
When Muriel gazed upon the dead
woman's face she gave vent to an ex.
preston of surprise. The body was evi.

lest we should be discovered.
longed to scramble down and rush
after the intruders, only the belief that
one of them carried spade and the
other an iron bar struck me as curious,
while at the same moment my eye
caught sight of portion of the ground
below us at the base of the rock which
had evidently been recently disturbed.
at is spade the man is carrying"
| cried excitedly. "Look down there!
They've just been burying something's"
Her quick eyes followed the direction
| indicated, and she answered.:
81 really believe they have concealed
something!
Then when we allowed the men to get
beyond hearing, we both slipped down
to the other side of the boulder and
there discovered many signs that the
earth had been hurriedly excavated and
only just replaced
Quicker than it takes to describe the
exciting incident which followed, we
broke down the branch of tree and
with it commenced moving the freshly
disturbed earth, which was still soft and
easily removed.
Muriel found a dead branch in the
vicinity, and both of us set to work
with a will, eager to ascertain what
was hidden there. That something had
certainly been concealed was, to us,
quite evident, but what it really was we
could not surmise. The hole they had
dug did not seem large enough to admit
a human body, yet leaves had been care
fully strewn over the place which, if APP
preached from any other point than the
high-up one whence we had seen it,would
arouse no suspicion that the ground had
ever been interfered with.
Digging with a piece of wood was
hard and laborious work and it was a
long time before we removed sufficient
earth to make hole of any size. But
Muriel exerted all her energy, and both
of us worked on in logged silence full
of wonder and anticipation. With a
spade we should have soon been able to
investigate, but the earth having ap-
parently been stamped down hard prior
to the last covering being put upon it,
our progress was very slow and difficult.
AT last, a quarter of an hour or so
after we had commenced, Muriel, stand
ing in the hole and having dug her stake
deeply into the ground, suddenly cried:
"Look! Look, Mr.. Gregg! Why-what-
ever is thatH"
l bent forward as she indicated, and
my eyes met an object so unexpected that
| was held dumb and motionless.
BY what we had succeeded in discov-
ering, the mystery was increased rather
than diminished
l gave vent to an ejaculation of COM
plete bewilderment, and looked blankly
into my companions face.
The amazing enigma was surely COM

BEATING THE DRUM HIS HOBBY
Activities of a Millionaire who Likes
the Music and Needs the
Exercise.

What small boy is there who has not
envied the pompous person who beats the
bass drum in the band and who has not
hoped to become as great as he? To few
do the cherished dreams of boyhood become
realities. An exception is Simon E. Bern
heimer of this city, known to his friends
as I1the millionaire drummer" who not only
beats the bass dram, but actually owns
the band.
With vast wealth at his command, Bern
heimer Is content If he can get into an
obscure corner and solemnly boom out the
noisy notes at the wave of the leaders

him about $4,000 a year. AS his estimated
wealth is about S15,OOO,OOO. this is a mere
bagatelles to the ''angel" of the Anlcitia.
amateur band, which is the organization
Bernheimer owns and in which is humble
drummer. The man with the strange
amusement is also oficial bass drummer
Of the orchestra OF the exclusive German
Liederkranz club in East Fifty-eighth
street, but he derives his chief pleasure
from his own band.
Bernheimer is Of the firm OF Bernheimer
& Schwartz, brewers at 12Sth street and
Amsterdam avenue. He is also the owner
Of high-class apartment buildings on Wash
L.
He is the son Of the late Emanuel Bern
heimer, was born in New York, and Is now
So years old. Bernheimer is a bachelor and
lives at No. 1O7 West Fifty-seventh street.
When II years old. after a public school
education, he went in a brewery as a
laborer, and after twelve years entered
into partnership with August Schmid build
ing up the great business which he now
controls.
Although musical In his tastes, Bern
heimer never had a musical Education.
He did not get an opportunity to indulge
his passion fully until twenty years ago.
He found that although he was the proud
owner OF a bass drum, he could not play
it very well at home without exciting re-
monstrances from neighbors. There was
also some slight objection in his own
household. No one seemed 10 appreciate
as did he the delights Of bass drum solo.
In 1886, when the Amicitia orchestra, a
private organization OF music lovers was
formed, the brewer offered to play the
drum. Those unfamiliar with his accom-
plishment laughed. However, Bernheimer
was unanimously selected when he showed
his friends how skillful he thumps the big
instrument. For years the wealthy man
pounded away in the orchestra, happy and
contented.
Il have nothing to say about the band"
replied he 10 a query, Il just beat the
bass drum-thats all"-New York World.

Hawks KIN the Quail.

John W. NewhOuse, deputy game warden
who is making New Albany his headquar-
tiers at present while enforcing the game

that the hawks are more responsible for
the destruction Of quail In Indiana than
the hunters. E. z. Earl, deputy state game
commissioner, with headquarters at Indian

hawks are not as destructive as the smaller

s TO GET WABASH QUARTERS

The Cigar trust IL again trying to get

threat to avenge the Myers-Dnlon Drug
company for cutting prices on the trust
cigars II is endeavoring to establish one
Of the United Cigar stores In this city.
Several previous attempts have been made
to get a good location, but each time the
action Of the trust has been blocked by
the concerted efforts OF the cigar dealers
Of the city, who could see no beneht to
stronghold in Omaha.
The location the trust Is now after r. the
Wabash ticket ohice in the basement OF
the Board OF Trade building at Sixteenth
and Farnam streets. The Wabash lease
expires in February and as the Board of
Trade, in following its policy of raising all
rents in the building, has notified the rail-
road company that the rent would be in
creased at the expiration of the present
lease, the Wabash officials are looking for
a new location. other locations are hard
to get but the offlcisls are still looking
around. The officials say they do not know
at present whether they will stand the
raise in rent or move, as no good location
seems to be available unless at an almost
prohibitive price.
It is understood the United Cigar Stores
company has the first option on the prop
erty IL the Wabash decides to move. Sew
eral other tenants OF the Board Of Trade
building have slgnified their intention to
move because OF the raise of the rent,
among them being the Omaha Grain ex-
