manner. But at that moment Cyras came
out He had just got back from Oxford,
and it was his arrival which had brought
about the discovery that something was
amiss with the dean.
Il am going for a doctor, mamma"
said Cyras, and leaped away. Lady Grace
went in, and Moore followed her.
Leaning back in & low easy chair,al-
most at full length, his head resting on
the back of it, lay the dean. His face
was white, his mouth was open. but his
eyes were closed, as if in calm sleep.
Nevertheless, there was that in his face
which struck terror to the heart of his
wife. She touched the faithful old SER
want on the arm and cried aloud.
"Yes, my lady," he whispered belev-
ing that she saw as well as he, II fear it
is death"
Lady Grace knelt down. and clssped
her hands round her husband In that
moment of distress, what cared she who
was present? She called him by endear-
ing names, she kissed his face she be-
sought him 10 speak to her. But there
was no answering response, and convic-
ton told her that there never would be
again.
Never in this world. Cyras came back
with a doctor; curiously enough, 1t was
Sir William Chant. A small mercy this,
for Sir William was able to testify to the
cause of death, thereby avoiding an in
quest.
The dean had died from disease of the
heart, brought on by the evenings excite
ment. And the world, next day, was
busy with the news that the Very Rev.
Ryle Baumgarten had been gathered to
his fathers, and that the rich deanery of
Denham, richer in those days than in
these, was in the clerical market.

Active steps have been taken according to the statement of Saltillo rubber men now here to con. solidate the rubber plants of all north Mexico, and it is believed that this consolidation will be effected within a few days.

Canton. O. May.-Mrs. Mckinley died at 1:05 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

 Mrs. Mckinley lasted hours long. CT than We expected, said Secretary Corteiyou.
 Her vitality was wonderful" said Dr. Portmann. It was by Secretary Cortelyou that the announcement of the demise was given to the public.

While the company believes this fee cannot be legally collected if paid the sum de manded by the secretary of state, but giving no intimation that it would cen test the legality of the act. The Con solid ited Handle Company. Dele ware corporation, was of the same opinion. but instead of paying the fees, under protest. filed a certificate with the secretary of state notifying that official that it had withdrawn from Arkansas. In letter to the secretary of state. the company states that it paid S275 at the beginning of the year for the privilege of operating a small mill in Arkansas. and that this repre- sented one-hundredth of its total busi- ress. On account of the small inter- est of the company in the state, it preferred to cease doing business in Arkansas.
