She was serving the judicial party
herself, and capably, too. She dearly
loved the time the courts met, on eth

interesting people to the Bon Ami, al
though not often the Judge. His COM
ing for supper was a most unusual
honor, and it was due to Louise, who
had playfully insisted. He had hum
ored her much against his will, 1t
must be confessed; for he had deeply
worn habit of making straight for the
hotel from the station and there re-
naming until Hank Bruebacher, liv-
eryman, who never permitted any
thing to interfere with or any one to
usurp his prerogative Of driving his
honor to and from Kemah when court
was in session, whistled with shame
less familiarity the following morning
to make his honor cognizant OF the
fact that he, Hank, was ready. But
he had come to the Bon Ami because
Louise wished it, and he reflected
whimsically on the establishment,
amounting almost to horror, on the
face of his good landlord at the Vel
pen house when it became an assured
fact that he was not and had not been
in the dining-room.

Runs Household Machines.

st. Louis.-In his leisure hours
Fred Brendel, engineer Of the Com
mercial building, has been construct
ing and just brought to completion an
electric lighting plant, which he has
installed in the yard back OF his resi-
dence on Union boulevard.
With his homemade electric light
ing plant he is able to illuminate his
home and that of tenant and furnish
enough power to run a sewing ma
chine and other small household ma
chimes, do the family ironing, run cleo
trio fans and proposes in the near fu-
ture to be able to cook.
Mr.. Brendels plant is in a power
house his friends constructed during
the evenings and Sundays this fall.
In the house is a four-horse power
engine and generator, with the neces-
sary rheostats, and volt and ampere
meters. The engine is run by gasoline
and is managed by Mrs. Brendel, who
has been appointed chief engineer,
while Mrs. Louis Daniels, who occu-
pies the upper part Of his residence,
is assistant engineer.
The plant cost about $500 to con-
struct and the cost of lighting the
house is about ten cents a night for
40 lamps.
The engine has a heavy foundation
of concrete under it which Mr.. Bren-
del amused himself by putting in with
the assistance Of his friends.

murderers, and they would risk no

doing.
It had been ascertained beyond rea-
sonable dooubt that Williston could
not have left the country in any OF the
unual modes. His description was at
all the stations along the line, togeth-
er with the theory that he would be
leaving under compulsion.
Meanwhile, Gordon had buckled
down for the big fight. He was sadly
handicapped, with the whole prop OF
his testimony struck from under him
by Williston's disappearance. How
ever, those who knew him best-the
number was not large-looked Tor

who had squared his shoulders to this
new paralyzing blow and refused to be
knocked out, who walked with them
and talked with them, but kept his
own counsel, abided his time, and in
the meantimevworked.
One day Langford was closeted with
him for long two hours In his dingy,
one-roomed office on the ground floor.
The building was plain wooden al
fair with its square front rising above
the roof. In the rear was lean-to
where Gordon slept and had his few
hours of privacy.
1T won't do, Paul." Gordon said in
conclusion. Il have thought it all
out. We have absolutely nothing to
go upon-nothing at least but our own
convictions and bandaged arm, and
they won't hang man with Jesse's
diabolical influence. Well fight it out
on the sole question of Mag Paul.
After that-well-whok knows? Some
thing else may turn up. There may be
developments. Meanwhile, just wait.
There will be justice for Williston

CHAPTER XII.=contlnued.

After a gallantand dauntless search,
which lasted through the best days OF
September, Langford was forced to
let cold reason have its sway. He had
thought, honestly, that the ruffians
would not dare commit murder, know
ing that they were being pursued; but
now he was forced to the opinion that
they had dared the worst, after all.
For, though it would be hard to hide
all trace of a dead man, infinitely
greater would be the difficulty in COW
ering the trail of a living one-one
who must eat and drink, who had a
mouth to be silenced and strength to
be restrained. 1t came gradually to
him, the belief that Williston was
dead; but it came surely. With 1t
came the jeer of the specter that
would not let him forget that he
should have foreseen what would
surely happen. With 1t came also a
great tenderness for Mary, and re-
doubled vigilance to keep his unruly
tongue from hurting out things that
would hurt her who was looking to
him, in the serene confidence in his
good friendship, for brotherly counsel
apd comfort.
+ In the first dark days of his new be-
lief, he spoke to Gordon, and the
young lawyer had written a second
letter to the gal reporter" In re-
Spouse, she came at once to Kemah
and from thence to the White home

This time the boss did the driving

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

ter hung fire in some way and at the
recent session of the legislature a
bill, nulifying the division was passed,
but the measure, it seems, failed to
receive the signature of the governor,
but it is claimed that it became a law
without his signature.
Mr.. Barber stated last night that
he was on his way to Jackson in the
interest of securing a hearing before
the supreme court so as to settle the
matter. He hopes to have the oppor.
tunity of arguing the case before the
supreme court Monday.
