AN AMAZING PLOT.
Weird Tale of the West indies Which
Has Arrived in the United States.

A plot worthy of Borgias has just
been unearthed on the island Of To
bago, w. /. Its weird details are on
every tongue throughout the West In
dies, and, despite every effort to hush
the matter up, the story has at last
reached the United States.
Henry Vivian, an Oxford graduate,
recently came to Tobago to inquire
into certain suspected Gefalcations on
the part of Jabez Ford oyerseer Of
his fathers sugar plantation there.
Ford, it seems, had been carrying on
a regular system of petty embezzle-
ment, so cleverly concealed that moth
ing short of close personal examina-
ton of the books and inspections OF
the plantation itself could reveal the
shortage. And this very inv estigation
young Vivian had arrived to make.
Ford, as shown by later develop
ments, deliberately set out to get rid
of Vivian before the latter should be
able to communicate with his father.
He stole the letters the young man
wrote home, replacing them by
forgeries of his own. Then he took
counsel with an aged negro, Jesse Ha-
gan, who had reputed powers as a
iAdSiOieti vi OOCdh anu WAOhA
all natives feared. 1t was arranged be-
tween the overseer and the magician
! that duringg visit to the later's hut
Vivian should be poisoned. The plan
was overheard by one Daniel Sweet
land, refugee from justice, who had
fled to the West Indies to escape pun
ishment on murder charge. Daniel
had known Vivian in the old country
and resolved to save him. Falling in
with the plot he deceived the conspira-
tors and arranged that Ford instead
of Vivian should drink the poison.
Through gratitude Vivian espoused
Dams cause and carried him back to
England in disguise. There for some
time Sweetland lived, unrecognized by
his father, his friends, his own wife,
But sudden and terrible happening
tore off the mask and started a train
of the most thrilling complications
imaginable. These are described with
graphic force by Eden Philpotts in
Daniel Sweetland"

MAINS IN BAD SHAPE.
BIG PIPES FROM KlLMER SPRINGS
WERE POORLY LAID.
city's Water Supply Endangered ny
Breaking of the connections-Re-
pairs Under Way.

Contractor Harry Hammann, who
began a week ago to ezcayate along
the big main whwich carries the water
supply of the city from the Kilmer
springs to the pumping station neal
the Cumberland Valley tracks, has I'M
covered a startling condition of af-
fairs, and in view of the situation dis
closed ii is matter o. wonder that
the city's supply of water has been
as regular and pure as has been the
case.
For about a year past it has been
known that the big pipes were in a
leaky condition. and sometimes the
immediate vicinity of the bottom land
through which the mains run has been
flooded with water The actual condi-
ton of the pipes, however, was not
known until Mr.. Hammann began the
work of repair He then found that at
least half, and perhaps more. OF the
Joints for a distance of a half-mile
were defective, the cement having fall
en- away. which made gaping aper-
lures through which the water forced
itself to the surface. where the pipes
lay close to the top of the ground the
water speedily bored its way through
but where the pipes we're deeply i'm
bedded the heavy condition of the sol
prevented this.
OF % sections of the pipe uncovered
in one day, at least three-fourths
showed that the cement connections
were defective, and when the water
was allowed to flow through with full
force from the springs, the scene pre-
scented was like that of a number of
geysers in continuous operation. Just
what caused the joints in the pipe to
open Mr.. Hammann is unable to state,
but he is confident that the task of
repairing the leaks will require sew
eral months. There will be little in
terruption of the water service, the
arrangements being such that the big
reservoir at the pumping station is
filled before break is repaired, then
the work of repair stopped until the
water supply is replenished. In case
of an emergency the repairs would be
instantly stopped, in order to allow
the water to flow without interruption.

FOND OF MUSIC.
Charles E. Hughes, If New York,
PLAYS the Pipe Organ.

Charles e. Hughes. the republican
governor-elect of New York, is passion.
ately fond of music, and is especially
fond of the deep, pleading notes OF
the big pipe organ. He keeps one OF
these instruments in his residence
and when at home plays on it every
night for an hour or more. When a
young man he was offered large sal
airy to become the organist of one OF
New York's richest churches, but de
clined it because ne feared that he
might be lured away from the practice
of law, which he was then Just begin

A Good Novel Absolutely Free,

Anna Katherien Green, whose world
famous novel, THE Leavenwortt
Case" completely revolutionized al
detective literature and gave rise to g
hundred or more less successful efforts
at imitation by lesser writer's, has, by
her latest book, utterly dumfounded
her army of admirers.
This new book is THE Chief Lega
tee,' and has been written expressly
for the Pittsburg Dispatch, and will
begin Sunday, December 2, and be
completed in five large weekly install
ments, handsomely illustrated by sta
artists
1t is even more original in its way
than was its great predecessor, 1.-THE
Leavenworth Case" Competent crit
les declare it is as much better than
that earlier masterpiece as the latter
was better than the ordinary mystery
story. Not only is this startling
originality found in the treatment and
novel situations, but in the plot itself
"The Chief Legatee" is unlike any
other detective story you ever read. II
is as original as Sherlock Holmes,
as stirring and full of suspense as
"The Leavenworth Case"
If you desire a famous $3.50 novel

newsdealer to deliver regularly The
