Has this advertisement resulted in

detective.
"A letter from Conductor Libby

1t lay on the desk and he handed it
to the detective, who read it attent-
lively
''I here seems to have been a
president.
What about this woman? II it was

But was it? confess that puzzles
me most of all, for Hamilton seemed
thoroughly devoted to his wife. and
she is splendid woman. But it an.

was talkative, but Hamilton did not

FOOTBALL REFORM.
Big Colleges May Abolish the Game
for Two Years.

Chicago.-Reformed football as rec
commended by the faculty representa-
tives of the Big Nine" colleges at a
conference here a few weeks ago, will
prevail in the future at both the Uni
versity of Chicago and Northwestern
University. This was agreed upon at
meetings of the faculty of both insti-
tutions In each instance the decision
to abolish the former style of college
football was unanimous and the pro-
fessors of the University of Chicago
even went 80 far as to express their
preference for the abandonment of all
styles of football for period Of two
years. AS a step toward this end res
olutions were adopted stating that 1t
was the desire of the University of
Chicago to abolish the game entirely
for such length OF time. A copy Of.
the resolutions will be sent to the
other universities composing the big
Nine." with the request that an agree
ment be entered int eliminating the
'game of football for the next two
years.
At the meeting of the faculty of
Northwestern University all the rec
ommendationE made by the conference
were adopted. although nothing was
said about abandoning the game.

Commissioner Winch. who arrived the
day previous. He was very busy, but
stopped to talk with Mr.. Bruce when
he learned his errand.

detective.

What do you mean. Mr.. Winch?"
simply this: 1t developed this
morning that previous to the twen-
ty-eighth of May, Hamilton altered a
note payable to this bank, making the
amount five thousand instead of five
hundred, and deposited the note with
the First National Bank of Boston, as
collateral for money. Whether he
has done so in more than this in
stance it is impossible to say"
"Of course Hamilton's bondsmen
will settle"
"Yes, they have signified their read

derson. too. say they believe that.
dark as it looks, the matter will clear
up"
"There must be a foul conspiracy
back of it. then" said the detective.
Looked at now. it is as clear case
of dishonesty as I ever knew. STILL"
recollecting himself, "a new phase of
the matter may arise any moment.
Anything look like completely on the
part of Osborn?"

dents house, found him alone, and
stated his errand. The president
showed him the letter at once. 1t ran:

Disclosures.
Mr.. Bruce, the detective, met with
no difficulties in learning what he
wished to know regarding Mrs. An
derson of New Jersey, who, it ap-
peared, by some unaccountable freak
of nature. had been given emerald
hair as a head covering, and stranger
yet, in spite of this, was a beautiful
woman. Mr.. Bruce, for reasons of
his own, chose to go to Miss Talbert
for information, and was amply re-
warded. He was told in as few words
as possible all that was known about
the strange lady. Finally, Miss Tai
bert, asking to be excused for n mo-
ment, left the room and returned al
most Immediately with a fine, hem
stitched handkerchief with an in
tricate embroidered design in the cor

Then" thought the detective, "the
woman is not likely to be Lenora, and
Mrs. Hamilton may be right Poe's
poems are haunting, certainly; but
somehow I felt as if this woman was
the Lenora of his dream"

Miss Talbert upon leaving.

being caught between the cage and
the timbers of the shaft, has but a
slight chance of recovery Fred Har-
vey and w. p. Guzman were both over
come by gas, but will recover Both
of the deceased were single. The par

fall, reside in Sweden, and those of
Webster in California

foot level of the mine, shortly after 8
O'Clock Sunday morning James Ste
vens, a foreman of the mine, went
down on the first cage to investigate
the air conditions, and when the cage
went down with number of men they
were cautioned by the foreman to re-
main near the shaft until the air could
become purified.
The miners had been below only a
few minutes when Guzman suddenly
appeared on the surface and gave the
alarm. Help was Immediately sum-
moned and the work of rescue began.
-Four trips with the cage were neces-
sary before all of the men could be
brought to the surface.
