 The rest agreeing to his plan, he shrewdly saw to 1t that the lowest hours fell to his lot.
 The puzzle is, however, how were the POO hours of work allotted so that each of the four tramps worked as many days as he did hours q day, and yet 90 that number of hours?

HOW HENEY KILLED DR. HANDY
 IN TUCSON.

Since Francis J. Heney, the Arizona attorney, sprans into the limelight of public interest by his connection with the prosecution of the grafters, bribers and boodlers of San Francisco, much has been said and written of his Ari. zona career, md especially of the cir. cumstances concerning his killing of Dr. Handy in Tucson.
 Speaking of this in the American Magazine, Lincoln StcfYens, the noted magazine writer, says:
 "As Handy and his clerk left their office at noon, Handy appeared walk. ing down the opposite side of the street. Hold up,' said Heney to his clerk, there's Handy. Let's stand here and talk Handy crossed the street and brushed past Heney's back, jostled him, stopped and called him name, that same old fighting name. Heney turned, and as he did so, Handy hit him in the face, seized him by the throat, and jammed him against the wall. Hency reached for his gun, but he did not draw it; he saw Handy look down, watching for it. Remembering what Handy had said SO often about killing him with his own gun, Heney showed both his hands, unarmed, and then, feeling Handy's grip relax on his throat, ne tucked, ran backward out into the street, and drew. Handy, fol lowing him, put his hand back for his own gun, but he stuck to his fixed idea he jumped at Heney and grabbed his revolver with both hands. And just ns he clutched it, Heney fired. The bul let went tearing down diagonall, through Handy's intestines. A look of amazemcnt passed over his face, ther one of murdcrous resolve settled there and the real struggle began. Handy weighed 200 pounds, IIcney only l26 and the bigger man had counted al ways on his physical superiority. Tha his faith in his strength was wei founded he showed now. For, afte hs was shot, he fought in the stree for three or four minutes. Many wit nesses saw it, and they all testify that as the two clung to that revolver, tn, wounded man lifted Heney off his feet swung him round and round, and tim and again bore him to his knees Heney's agility saved him, that an the crowd, which finally dragged th
