demanded, staring after the other as
he bounded up the stairs. "Well, that

He was still staring when Tremaine
appeared at the landing and canie
down, a packet Of letters in his hand.

said, 80 they'll get Off by the early
mail"
It's on the rack out there" Delroy
replied, and the other went past him
into the outer hall. He was back in a
moment.
THAT'S a good evenings work. he
said, with sigh Of satisfaction. But
what's the matter? You look as though
you'd seen ghost"
.Drysdale came in just now looking
as though he'd seen one, all nerves and
raw flesh, and stalked upstairs as
mad as hornet about something"
"Ah," said Tremaine, with just the
flicker Of an eyelash, "and yet one
would have thought that a walk
through the silence of the night would
calm his nerves. There comes the
RAIN
There was hiss, fash, and great
crash Of thunder split the armament
apart and shook the house to Its foun-
dations. They could hear the rain
dashing in sheets against the windows.
That's a storm for sure. Listen to
the wind! Drysdale got In just IN
time. But I never saw him like that
before. Something extraordinary must
have happened to him. He's been out
Of humor for day or two. I wonder,
now, il he was caught in that steel
crash? By Jove. did hear him say
that he'd bought block Of stock on
margin"
A CLEAN of triumph indescribable
flashed into Tfemaine's eyes.
THAT may explain it." he said. with
studied carelessness.
"Yes-but 1t doesn't excuse 1t. II a
man can't keep his temper when he
loses he hasn't any business to specu-
late. Hello, who's that?"
Some one was pounding ut the outer
door. Delroy strobe to it and threw
back the bolt. 1t few open and young
Graham staggered rather than walked
into the hall, hatless, coatless, soaked
with rain, his eyes staring, his face
rigid with horror.
Good heavens, man; what is lt?'
cried Delroy.
He opened his mouth, but only low
rumbling came from his throat.
Gomez crieu Delroy sharply. BE
a man! What is it,"
By a mighty effort Graham pulled
himself together

hoarsely.

said Tremaine at last in suppressed
voice. 81 knew that bolt struck some
where near"
"Lightnin' don't cave mans head
in, does it?'' asked the boy doggedly.
Delroy grabbed raincoat from the
rack, and Tremaine caught up another.
Across the lawn they sped, under the
trees, down to the water front, with
young Graham stumbling blindly along
behind. The little white boathouse
cleaned vivid in the glare Of the light
ming. They entered and paused uncer-
tainly in the gloom.
where Is hep asked Delroy.
"Out there on tn pier" answered
Graham brokenly. "Out there where
they struck him down."
At the pier end lay dark, huddled
figure. A lightning fash disclosed the
staring eyes, the blood stained face.
Delroy, swallowing hard, gripped
back his self control.
1--WE can't leave him out here" he
said. perhaps there's spark Of life.
You take the legs. I'll take the head"
They laid their burden on the cot
which the son had occupied and stood
for moment looking down at it. The
boy seemed on the verge of collapse.
His lips were drawn, his teeth chatter
ing. The h ,rible sobbing did not stop.
Delroy turned to him sharply.
William" he said, II want you to
show yourself man. A good deal de-
ponds on you. Remember that-re-
member, too, that with your help
we're going to catch the scoundrel
who did this"
The boy Strengthened up with a
groan Of agony.
"Now, go up to the house and rouse
Thomas but don't alarm any one else.
Get him to telephone at once to Baby
lon for DIR. Wise and for the coroner,
and tell them both to get out here as
quickly as they can. Do you under
standY'
eyes, SIR" answered Graham, and
disappeared in the outer darkness.
For some moments the two men
stood looking down at the body with
out speaking. Then Delroy stopped
and touched lightly the bloody fore
head.
"see," he said, "his head has been
beaten In"
Eyes" nodded Tremaine. ''the muir

Congressman Lilley, of Connecticut,
who represents more people than any
other congressman in the land, being
the representative at large for the
state thus standing for district hav-
ing 9OS,0O0 souls in it, is about to have
a tussle with the postmastership OF the
substantial city of Waterbury at stake.
1t is understood that the senators OF
the state and Congressman Sperry, OF
the Second district, in which Water
bury is located, approve of the present
incumbent, but Mr.. Lilley has another
man in his mind. 1t is said that Wa
terbury being his home city, and rep
resenting so many souls as he does,
his preference should have precedence
over that OF senators and the particu-
lar congressman of the smaller dis
trict And also it is said that Mr.. Lii
ley is having a few lines out to sit in
Senator Bulkeley's chair in the senate.
The senator is getting old and has
powerful enemies in the state.

NOVEL POINT in WILL CASE.
Judge Decides That Wife Never Cav
Birth 70 livino Child.

Birth to Living Child.
Webster City, Jan. 12.-Called upon
to decide whether Mrs. Almira Addie
Dingman, first wife Of Samuel H.
Dingman, ever gave birth to a living
child, Judge j. H. Richard, of this city.
has decided that she did not, and hence
a fine eighty acre farm remains the
sole property Of Dingman's second wife
thru inheritance of her husband, in
stead of to the brothers and sisters OF
the first Mrs. Dingman.
The farm involved was the property
OF Judge w. r. Daniels, who resided
near Homer many years ago. Twenty
years ago he died, having prior to his
death decided the place to his daughter.
Almira Addie Dingman, wife of Sam
uel H. Dingman. Fifteen years ago
Mrs. Dingman died, after willing the
property to her husband. The latter
took second wife, Dora L. Dingman.
He died about two years ago and the
property fell to his second wife. Then
came the contestants, George III. Dan
iels and others, of this city. brothers
and sisters of the first Mrs. Dingman.
They claimed. that the first Mrs. Ding
man never gave birth to a living child
and that hence they should share with
the husband in a division of the fine
farm. The defendants claimed a liv-
ing child was born, the last having
lived several hours. To prove their
case they introduced the testimony Of
midwife, Samuel Dingman's mother,
who was, Of course, the mother in-law
of the defendant. She testified that the
last child lived for a few hours. The
plaintiff, however, introduced testi-
mony to the contrary, which testimony
was considered by the judge to have
been the more reliable. On the point
of whether or not living child was
born, he found in favor of the plain
tiffs-that none was.
