CHAPTER ".

l stared at him in the most pro-
found amazement.
Yes, murder, Cousin Robert; as de-
liberate and cold-booded 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 kn0tted themselves tensely.
Listen. This afternoon a man lay
asleep on that couch in the corner. We
know the manner Of mana keen in
vestigator, an interchangeable worker, an
honest 6ghter; 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 weather: the
doors open, the old servant asleep, the
master taking his regular siesta. How
far is he criminal, how far a luna
tic? Is this act premeditated, or the
sudden tempting of. opportunity? Who
can sayf 1t Is enough that in his dis
eased ina gination he has come to regard
the sleeper as an enemy who maliciously
to bring ridicule on the laborious work Of
wears. His desire for revenge is con-
centrated on the man before him.
How the thing came into his pos
session l cannot guess, though that
should be point easily discovered. He
himself may have obtained II from At
RIGA. or 1t may have come into his hands
by chance. as the chief of the Entomo-
logical Museum. But he has it safe
enough shut up in the tin box which fell
from his pocket in your rooms. The
spring of the lid was defective, you may
remember; IL is that same defective
spring that will hang him.
He stands over there, listening and
watching. There is no sound; the sleeper
will not wake. He opens the case upon
the dressing-table and lifts the thing
with tweezers-for every hair Of it has
its poison. With scissors he cuts off
some score of hairs, catching them in
the crease of a folded sheet of note
paper. He replaces 1t in the case and
closes the lid. Like an ugly shadow
he fits across to the couch, kneels by its
side, and one, two, three times blows
the hairs from the creased paper across
the intake of the sleeper's breath. He
turns, snatches up the case from the
table, and is gone. In FIVE hours Profess
sor Won Stockmar is dead of inhamma-
ton of the lungs. There is not a doc
tor in all Germany who would chal-
lenge that diagnosis. In nine hours Pro-
fessor Rudolf Marnac is accused by me,
Henry Graden, of murder"
But this deadly 'thing'r' cried, with
sinking horror at my heart. This
beast, reptile, insect-what is it'll Where
is it nowT'

A CIVIL PENSION LIST.

The national civil service reform
league. after an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the subject OF pensioning civil.
service employees. on Thursday an
nounced opposition to the project on
the ground of the enormous outlay OF
$25.OOO.O 900 yearly which would be re-
quired. The league by some process
has found that it costs only a little
more than s5.0O0OO0 a year to retain
clerks whose age has rendered them
inefficient
The last item is worthy of eonsid
Grafton in discussion of the propriety
of keeping in the public service an
employee who for any reason is ineh-
cient but the main question is the
imminent one.
1t will be a long time before any con-
siderable part of the people OF this
country will agree to the pensioning OF
government employees. whether in or
out of the classified service. The pen
sioning of soldiers is quite a different
thing. Soldiers who are now drawing
pensions or who will draw them. aside
from the soldiers in the regular army.
did not enter the-service of the govern
ment for a livelihood. They were
moved either by a spirit of patriotism
or a spirit Of adventure to enter the
employ of the country for what they
believed would be a brief period. Their
pay was a pittauce and the service
promised them neither advancement
nor profit.
II is different n the case Of the gov
eminent clerk He secures by a pull.
would like to have. Considering the
ability necessary TO fill the position
and the work he has to do. or rather
the work he actually does do. his pay
is very good. 1t is more than the
average clerk could earn elsewhere. /
He might not be able to fill CORE
spending position in the employ OF a
railroad or other hustling private cor
poration at any salary.
We are speaking, of course, of the ]
mass of the clerks and not of the /
many eminent engineers who have en- |
tered the service of the government fo- /
the sake of their profession, for the |
scientific opportunities that are offered, |
and not for the remuneration.
But the clerk. as a general thing, 4
does as well financially in the service I
of the government as he would do in I
private service and the government is
really under no obligations to him in
his old age. The business OF pension
ing him should be deferred until the
government gets rich enough to pen
sion all its citizens.

CHEATING AND EsCHEAT1NG.

Something said to be unprecedented
in law viii probably grow out of the
De Raglan Casa contest by the
wife of a woman for share of the
estate Of her husband" Mrs. De
Raglan, Of course, is not a wife. So it
viii devolve upon her to prove that she
has been acting in good faith. II she
succeeds in technically doing so she
will be permitted to enjoy the benefits
which belong to a widow
The unnatural relation between the
woman De Raglan and her wife" is
Of course unlawful IL that it is not
sanctioned by law, but society. for
whose benefit laws are made. has not
been injured By it. Still. as we have
said, unless Mrs. De Raglan can
furnish proof Of her innocence, the law
will withhold from her any part of he
husbands" estate.
The averge man win hope that the
task which now confronts this woman
will not be made unnecessarily dill
cult OF course, if it should transpire
that De Raglan has relatives. their
rights should be considered. but in a
contest between Mrs. De Raglan and
the state. popular sentiment will be ON
the side of the woman whose actual
interest in it is very much the same
as that of any widow in a husbands
estate.
We have heard some talk he.e about
escheating so mucn of the estate as has
been found n this county. The aver
age healthy minded man would regard
such disposition of De Raylan's
property as no better than stealing It.
though the theft might be 'accomp-
lished under the law. We are inclined
10 think that the taxpayers. in whose
interest such lawful orense would be
committed, would regard it not only as
a theft but as an exceedingly mean
and paltry theft.
If it were fortune OF millions whose

conversion to the treasury would re-
lieve the burden of taxation the
escheating Of it might be regarded
without special disgust, or with modi-
fed disgust. but IN this case even the
heaviest taxpayers of this county
would feel not the slightest tightening
of his burden for ali the part of it that
this widows" mite would relieve. II

the estate let it do so.

TWO CLAIM COAL REWARD.
Owner of Land and Man Who Finds
Coal Each After State Money.

Lincoln, March 26.--As IA result of
the discovery Of coal near Peru a
lively contest is liable to be wagod
over the reward offered by the state
to the person making the discovery.
+. NJ. Medley of Peru found the vein.
after first securing a lease for coal
privileges on the farm owned by A,
NJ. Worst, on whose land the coal was
located. Now 1t is reported, because
he owns the land, Worst claims the re.
ward as well as the coal. The legs-
lature appropriated $4,000 as reward
for the discovery, but that appropria-
tion of course has lasped, though the
law Is still on the statutes. Under the
law the auditor, it seems, according
to lawyers, would have to issue the
warrant, though the man to whom 1t
is issued may have to wait until an
other legislature approprlates more
money before it can be cashed. Med
ley, it is said, has agreed 10 give
Worst so cents ton royalty for all
coal taken out of the mine.

The effect of the decision is to sus.

sale and manufacture of cigarettes in
this state illegal, but the rolling of
cigarettes by individuals for their
own use Is not called manufacturing"
A few fines have been paid and sen.

and citizens were injured in a fire,
followed by a series of explosions,
that demolished a sixstory factory
building at Bedford and Downing
streets, in the Greenwich village dis
trict, on the lower west side of the
city. That the damage, which is esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000,
was not far greater was declared by
Chief Croker to be due to the explo-
sions, which shattered the building
and crushed the blaze beneath tons OF
debris at the moment when the flames
were completely beyond control and
threatening to sweep the entire block.
One fireman was taken out Of the
building alive, but died almost imme-
diately. The. bodies of his three com
rades were recovered after the fire
was over crushed under the wreckage
