CHAPTER Nv.

l stared at him in the most pro-
found amazement.
Yes, murder, Cousin Robert; as de-
liberate and cold-blooded a doing to
death of an innocent man as has ever
befouled a corner oil Gods fair world"
He rose from S chair and plowed
heavily up and down the room. The
veins started in his forehead; his huge
hands knotted themselves tensely.
Listen. This afternoon man lay
asleep on that couch in the corner. We
know the manner Of mana keen in
honest fighter but one who had never
done in all his life a mean or ignoble
action. There comes a creak upon the
stairs, the door is opened softly, head
peers in. He-the murderer-enters the
room. He knew the custom of the house
in this warm September weat Their: the
doors open, the old servant asleep, the
master taking his regular siesta. How
far il he q criminal, how far a luna

sudden tempting of opportunity Who
can say? 1t Is enough that In his dis
eased ina gination he has come to regard
the sleeper as an enemy who maliciously
set himself to destroy his theories and

years. His desire for revenge is con
centrated on the man before him.
How the thing came into his pos

should be point easily discovered. He

spring of the lid was defective, you MAJ

spring that will hang him.
HE stands over there, listening ant
watching. There is no sound the sleepe
will not wake He opens the case upol
the dressing-table and lifts the thing
with tweezers-for every hair of it ha
its poison. With scissors he cuts of
some score of hairs, catching them il

paper. He replaces it in the case AM

VILLAGES MUST NOT
CHECK FAST TRAINS.
Baltimore and Ohio Eullifies Ordi-
nance Reducing Speeds 20 Ten
Niles An Hour.

/ There was great rejoicing i'll
railroad circles when news came
from Westmoreiand county, Pa,
that Judge Doty had reversed JUS
tice Louis Strausser, justice of the
peace for Suterville, Pa, in which
the justice had fined an engineer
of the Baltimore and Ohio for
dashing through the town at speed
i'll violation of a speed ordinance
, which said that no train should be
run faster than 10 miles an hour.
The decision will likely be of
far-reaching effect in railroad cir
Giles, as it was carried from the
office of the justice Of the peace by
the railroad people as a test case,
and it was understood that it
would be fought through all the
courts of the land. The reversal
means practically that no borough
can make laws which will inter
fere with the running of fast trains,
especially with those carrying the
mails Of the United States, and
if this reversal is sustained there
will be great CONSERVATION in many
boroughs of the country. s.
The town of Suterville, OH the
Baltimore and Ohio road, having
had several of its citizens killed
by a fast train, passed an ordi-
nance making it a misdemeanor
for anyone to run a train through
at speed Of more than 10 miles
an hour. Burgess Oberdick per
sonally boarded some of the flyers
of the Baltimore and Ohio and got
evidence and arrested the engi-
neers. On one occasion an engi-
neer was hauled from the cab of
fast mail and sent to Jail. This
was the case which was appealed.
The decision of Justice Strausser
has now been reversed. The
Pennsylvania railroad also shares
in JOY over the announcement, as
it has had great trouble with a
new speed ordinance in wilkins
burg, and the entire fast schedule
of the Pennsylvania system was
threatened.

Helping Post Card Fiends.

The Government is showing every
consideration to the collector Of SOU
venir postal cards. Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou says that on and after
March l next such cards, bearing writ
ten messages upon the left half of the
front, the right half being reserved for
the address and postmark, whenNNly
prepaid at postal card rates, sha@be
admitted both to domestic and Internal
ional mails of this country. From this
day it has been ordered that souvenir
cards similarly inscribed and mailed in
foreign countries and fully prepaid shall
be delivered to addresses IN the United
States without additional charge.
Heretofore the rules Of the depart
ment required that the one side Of the
card should be reserved for the address.
This necessitated the Disagreement Of
the illustrated side if the sender wished
to convey a message.
