it never would do to let her get away

He had been so oblivious to the affairs

the stop in the hot tunnel had been I'M

the faint roar of falling water, and he
sprang to his feet. Instinctively he
turned to Nell, but the angry press
about the door would not permit him
to make any Roadway toward her. He
could catch an occasional glimpse OF
the fair head and could see that she
was sitting in her place, white faced,
but calm.

ANNUAL THANKOFFERiNG.

Hospitable at all times is the spa
cious home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. H.
Gold on Minnesota avenue, and
last Friday it's doors were thrown
wide open to guests, the occasion
being the annual thankoffering meet
ing of the women's foreign mission
airy society. Mrs. A. F.. King shared
with Mrs. Gold in receiving and en-
PERTAINING more than fifty ladies.
The missionary board has been
hoping with this thankoffering to
send out some more missionaries
where they are most urgently need
ed, as there are hundreds and thou
sands of people earnestly begging
that some Christians would come
and tell them the plan of salvation
A school in China, one in Japan and
another in Singapore will also be
built or enlarged if the Methodist
women have been thankful enough
and given tangible expression to
their emotion in hard coin. This
society has expressed itself to the
amount of 800 and there are prob
ably some yet to hear from.
The islands Of Samoa were the
study of the day. Mrs. C. C. Little
pointed out Samoa on the map, and
her clear, crisp, concise paper on the
Influences of the Missionary, Politi-
clan and Hurricane" was much ap-
preciated.
Mrs. C. T. Howard had loaned for
the inspection of the ladies num-
Der of articles manufactured in the
South Sea Islands, which proved
that the natives are industrious and
skillful. There were some hand
some clothes made from the inner
bark of tree, and beautifully col
ored and woven, baskets, fans,
chains, etc., all of which had been
collected by Mr.. Beecher. Also a
great profusion of photographs of
the natives, the scenery and the
buildings strewed the tables.
There was one disappointment,
namely, Mrs. Rouse Keene, re-
turned missionary from China, had
planned to be present, but lay sick
at Marshall unable to come. So
great is the pressure on the foreign
missionaries, owing to the lack of
sufficient means to send out enough
of them to do the work, that they
break down in a few years and can
not thoroly recuperate. But in this
instance no one suffered Except the
missionary for there was not dull
moment. The meeting, the supper
and the social time were much en-
joyed by all present.

Jennings sprang forward as the pas
sengers entered at the Fulton street
station. In the first moment of glad
ness at seeing Nell Preston again he
did not even recall that his letters had
been returned without explanation
three months before and that since
then his communications had been re-
turned unread.
Nell passed him without a glance of
recognition, and as he followed her
down the car a hand shot out and
dude abjured husky Irish voice
you can't do any MASKING in this car
You keep away from that lady
Jennings cast look of appeal at the
girl, but she gaZed at him with po-
lite but impersonal interest. Clearly
she would not interfere to clear him of
the charge, and he sank back into n
corner of the car and sought to shield
himself with a newspaper from the
filters of the crowd
The car filled at the bridge stop, and
this helped little. but he felt as
though those already in the car were
telling the new arrivals of his conduct,
and he read on steadily.
In his confusion he did not notice
that the train was slowing down until,
with jolt, it came to a dead stop.
Then he glanced out Of the window,
but to his surprise there was only the
blank wall, SO he settled himself more
comfortably in his seat and resumed
his pretense of reading
He did not see the printed page He
had not read a line since he opened
the paper. His mind was busy with
schemes for inducing Nell to listen to
him. If she went back to San Fran
cisco he could not hope to reopen cor
respondence, and he could not endeavor
to speak to her again with that husky
knight Grant keeping guard across the
aisle.
If he only knew how he had angered
her he might be able to explain, but

Boise, July 23.-Impeachment OF
the testimony Of Orchard was the
chief argument this morning by Rich
ardson, who continued summoning up
for the defense. He made his argu-
ment chiefly on the fact that Orchard
was always broke, whereas II he told
the truth about carrying out cam
paign of murder he could always
have lived in luxury.
Richardson criticized the state for
falling to call Bulkley Wells, saying
they were afraid TO permit him to
stand cross examination.
Discussing the attempt on the life OF
Peabody, Richardson asked the jury
IL they would believe it possible for
a man who would be inspired to COM
nit murder, to abandon the project
because the man he wanted to kill
was rebuilding his house.
Taking up the attempt on the life
OF Judge Goddard. Richardson asked
II It seemed probable bomb could
remain under the sod in an irrigation
ditch for months without being dis
covered. Exhibiting the box which
was alleged to have contained the
Goddard bomb. Richardson called at
tcntion to the fact that the nails in
It are as bright as on the day the box
was constructed, and a screw-eye,
which was said to be in the ditch
eight months was not corroded or rust
! ed. This, he argued, proved the story
/ false. He intimated that BulSley
/ Wells planted the box himself and
later dug 1t up.
Richardson created something of a
sensation by declaring that "the gen.
\ ernl argument here seems to be that
as the federation stirred up things,
the hest way to secure quiet is to
hang the leaders. If anyone wants
this there will have to be a wholesale
hanging of leaders of all factions, po-
jitical, religious, and labor. All must
be put out of the way before quiet
can be secured, and the law prohibits
this"
Richardson denounced sherman
Bell as the veriest braggart the world
ever knew" and declared he, more
than any other man In the history OF
this country, deserved the contempt
of every laboring man.

and instantly killed this morning by
man supposed to be Charles War

second and Broadway, during the rush
hour.
The girl was accompanied by r. A.
Spicer, a clerk, and was entering the
haberdasher store where they were
employed, when a stranger rushed
through the throng of pedestrians and
killed her, creating a wild panic.
While the crowd was throwing mis-
siles at him. he emptied his revolver
at spicer, finally knocking the latter
down with his revolver. He then
rushed to the office of the buildings
janitor and locked the door, fearing
lynching. In the meantime the
murderer escaped down the fire es-
cape, disappearing in an alley.
