Alas, the Chicago Evening Post

sessed journal, has lost its head. For
instance:
Somehow or other the impress
sion once prevailed, out here al
least, that Mr.. Jerome was a great

the manner in which Mr., Delmas has
handled him have torn great rents in
this belief and left us only the tat
tered remnants which fiutter pathet-

his subsequent more or less futile

but the contempt of large majority
of the people. Whether or not he is
fighting a losing battle is aside from
the main issue, for defeat can be as
honorable If not as much acclaimed
as victory Mr.. Jerome, however, has
discarded honor as hampering gar
ment and has staked everything upon
the final outcome of guilty or not
guilty. His friends win regret the
methods to which he has seen fit to
resort. They reflect credit on neither
the man nor his office, and whatever
may be the verdict in the Thaw trial
Mr.. Jerome has lost the respect OF
thousands who once admired even If
they did not know him."

the yellow sheets above his sworn

DEWEY TO RENT HIS GIFT HOME.
Wife's More CommodIous and Com
Portable House to BE Occupied.

Washington, d. c., March 26.-
Admiral and Mrs. George Dewey have
decided to move from their residence
lat 1747 Rhode Island avenue, to Mrs.
Dewey's old home, at Sixteenth and
X streets. They will rent the house
they now occupy. The house was pre-
scented to the admiral by a large num-
Der of Americans as an appreciation
of the yalor he displayed in the bat
tie of Manila bay. 1t was large
enough for the bachelor state the adj
miral was in when it was offered to
him, but is entirely too small for
himself and his wife, especially In
view of the large social demands
made upon them. Moreover. the
house never has been satisfactory.
and It has been occupied merely be-
cause of Admiral Dewey's desire to
show his appreciation of the kindness
of those who contributed to its pur-
chase. Mrs. Dewey's home, at SIX
teenth and K streets, is much more
commodious and comfortable. and
will enable the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey to arrange social functions I'm
keeping with their wishes.

seat beside Harold Fairbanks, with one slender
hand resting on his pulse. Fairbanks himself sat
with his ivory image held close up to his eyes, bah

turned table lay in the middle of the cell. So great
had been the power used to upset it that an iron
bolt which held it fast to the floor had been broken
short off The scientist rose and came toward them
and Hatch drew deep breath of relief.

something to attract his attention. Meanwhile let
him keep that ivory image, and there'll be more

that doesn't matter just now
Harold Fairbanks sat beside The Thinking Ma

his wrist. In front of them the chauffeur busy
with the multiple levers of the great machine: and
behind them sat Hutchinson Hatch and Dr. Pol

ribbons of light which shot out ahead from their
forward lamps. The night perfectly black,

could barely make out its general shape-a pa1lid

bled-that all. The newspaper man and the
physician in the seat had nothing to say they,
too peering vainly at Fairbanks

incidents happened in Fairbanks own room at
night was an assumption based upon the fact that
his mother figured in it, and the further fact that
she was dressed for bed when she appeared in his

forward and touched the chauffeur the arm
Well stop here for gasoene, he said distinctly.

out. Hatch went straight to the little building and
raped sharply. The sound caused Fairbanks to
turn vacant, wavering eyes in that direction. After
moment nightcapged head appeared at the
window above. The Thinking Machine shot an
electric lashlght into Fairbanks face. The eyes,
now fixed on the nightcapped head, wide open,
and CLINT of childish curiosity lay in them. The
babblngs were silent for moment some where in
a recess of the maddened brain germ of intell-
gence was struggling. Then, the scientist
garded him steadily, the expression of the face
changed again, the eyes grew vacant, the mouth
fabby, the senile mumblings began again.

But there they are" replied The Thinking Ma

He felt Fairbanks hand flutter, and then it was
raised suddenly. Again he threw the light on the
Pallid face. strange expression was there; set,
incredible, vague expression which might have
