but If you hadn't caught his cloak
Armitage was uncomfortable and
anxious to allay her fears. The Incl
dent was by no means trivial, as be
knew. Passengers on the great trans
atlantic steamers are safeguarded by
every possible means, and the fact that
he had been attacked in the few min
utes that the deck lights had been out
Of order pointed to an espionage that
greatly surprised and more shaken
than he wished Shirley to believe. The
thing was disquieting enough, and 1t
could not but impress her strangely
that he, of all the persons on board,
should have been the object Of SO un.
usual an assault. He was In the dis
agreeable plight Of having subjected
her to danger, and as they entered the
brilliant saloon he freed himself Of the
blster with its telltale cash and sought
to minimize her impression of the in
cident.
Shirley did not refer to the matter
again. but resolved to keep her own
counsel. She felt that any one who
would accept the one chance in a thou
sand Of striking down an enemy ON 4
steamer deck must be animated by
very bitter hatred She knew that to
either to watch or to avoid him. very
likely the man was under Instructions

bornes home, and the thought of their
Identification with himself by his enc
mics angered him. Chauvenet was
likely to appear in Washington at any
time and would undoubtedly seek the
Claibornes at once. The fact that the
man was a scoundrel might in some
circumstances have afforded Armitage
comfort, but here again Armitages
mood grew dark. Jules Chauvenet was
undoubtedly rascal Of shrewd and
dangerous type, but who. pray. was
John Armitage?
The bell in his entry rang, and he
flashed on the lights and opened the
door.

up here In gloomy splendor and never
saying word. You never deserved to
have any friends. John Armitage"

GRIZZLY IN STREET CAR,
Sudden Appearance Of Pet Bear
Throws Passengers Into a Panic.

Ebenezer, n. Y.-Supervisor Henry
c. Lem of West Seneca IS a lover of
all kinds of animals, but the devotion
CT a little grizzly bear to his master
nearly caused a panic on board an
EbeneZer trolley recently.
Mr.. Lem got a bear cub from Bad
AK, Mich. He calls it Tommy. The
little bear has grown considerably
since it's arrival at the Lein farm in
this place. He has grown attached
to Mr.. Lem, who is kind to his me-
nagerie, which consists of bears, deer.
elk and smaller animals.
Recently Mr.. Lein started for a
committee meeting in Buffalo. The
town is not blessed with a double
track system and the trolleys are
obliged to wait on a siding. Mr.. Lein
boarded the car and while it was wait.
ing for another car to pass there was
a commotion on the vehicle. Mr.. Lem
sat in front and was reading the paper.
Tommy entered the car. He shifted
about. Women jumped on the seats
and screamed and some of the men
grew nervous.
Finally the bear singled out his
master and licked his hand with ioy.
Mr.. Lem had to get off and take the
bear home. 1t had broken its chain.
The bear has grown so big that it will

GOV. FOLK AT ST. JOSEPH.
Missouri's Executive Opens Campaign
With Extended Speech.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Gov. Joseph W.
Folk opened his United States SEN
atorial campaign at Tootle opera house
Friday night in the presence of a large
audience. His address was a lengthy
,ne, about eighteen thousand words, in
which he reviewed his stewardship.
He discussed measures which he had
advocated, among which were the elm
nation of lobbying at the legislature;
ioing away with railroad passes; TAX
ng politics out of police departments;
Inauguration of a better road system;
adoption of measures bringing capital
Ind labor closer together; enactment
Of a new freight law, and two-cent pas
senger rate; enactment of the new
state primary law; passage of the pure
God law; providing that juries shall
tx punishment for high crimes; doing
lway with race-track gambling, etc.
During his address the governor n
bounced his candidacy for United
States senator, and declared he would
make a clean fight for the honor. He
said he wanted votes that are for him
because they think he is right, and
loes not care for votes that are merely
against some one else. He expressed
| belief that the tariff should be re-
used; that water ways should be i'm
proved, and in conclusion explained
Why there should be an amendment to
he Federal Constitution which should
permit the election of United States
senator's by direct vote of the people.

Lewis ~Fleckenstein Throws Scream
ing Children ABIDE in Bedroom.

Jamestown, Pa.-While his wife
and two little daughters lay
asleep in bed, Lewis Fleckenstein, a
wealthy resident of this city, entered
their bedroom early Friday and with
a Ratchet scalped his wife. Then he
went downstairs and hanged himself.
The woman was rushed to a hos
pital, where it was said her chances
for recovery were slight. Her husband
was dead when cut down by the po-
lice.
The children were awakened by
their father striking the woman.
Screaming, they threw themselves
across the woman's body, pleading
with the father to save their mothers
life. F~leckenstein threw them to one
side, struck his wife another blow,
then, taking his children in his arms,
kissed them good-by.

Mrs. Phillips said she and her hus-
band had come here from Des Moines,
where he was employed as a clerk in
a hotel. She said they were reduced
to their present circumstances by the
closing of the hotel about a month ago
and the p~roprietors refusing to pay

said, but had decided not to appeal tt
them.
She did not explain how they hap

and a little more than five feet deep.
The entrance is hardly large enough
to admit the body of a full grown
man.
Their bed consists of a pile Of
leaves and branches, while their cook
ing utensils include only two or three
tin cans and ONE broken pots that
look as if they had been picked up at

a further investigation of the nyster-
ious couple and their solitary life in

Debate on Four Battleships.

Observation-Disclosures in favor of
the presidents program for four bat
tleships consumed most of the session
of the senate Friday. Senator Piles
of Washington opened the debate, de-
claring that the Asiatic situation af-
fecting the Pacific coast was a menace
to that section, as war clouds might
quickly rise over some clsh between
Americans and Japanese. He wanted
a fleet Kept in the Pacific.
Mr.. Hale laid before the senate a
statement of battleships and other fea-
lures of the American naval program,
which he said showed that as large a
fleet as is now in the Pacific can be
kept there and at the same time there
would be ships for a still larger fleet
for the Atlantic.
Senator Beverage concluded the de-
bate for the day with a strong appeal
to senators to vote for four battle
ships. He was constantly engaged in
exchanges of words with other sena-
tors. He insisted that peace and not
war would be promoted by building up
the navy.
During the latter part of the session
kilograms were delivered to all sena-
tors from a magazine, appealing to
them for four battleships. IF the
four battleships appropriation be not
granted" the telegram stated, I'VE
shall urge the president to veto the

appropriations for good roads.
