NEW YORK HIDDEN BY . HEAVY SNOWSToRM
Street Traffic Impeded and
 Ocean Liners Held Back.

New York, Dec. 23 A binding snowstorm, accompanied by a strong southwest wind, clogged the streets of New York today, blocking street traf' fic and holding back ocean liners.
 The snow was blown in drifts to a depth of several feet on many streets and sidewalks, and the air was thick with 1t.
 Cab, car and cart trafflc suffered Such motor cabs as had no chains on their tires foundered. Such cab horses as were plate shod slipped and slid like skaters in a rink. Horses went down by the score and found extreme difficulty in getting up again.
 The trolley and elevated roads felt the heavy snow sadly. Sweepcrs were early on the job. but for all that there was any amount of blocking and con gestion.
 On the elevated roads great deal of trouble was experienced from snow clogged third rails. In Brooklyn the guards" or running boards over the electric rails, might as well not have been there, so fast did the snow drift in and pack on the rails.
 All the ferryboats that left the city went out of their slips blowing deep blasts of warning Traffic on the river was very slow and perllous.

blindlv and at random. The ominous
sound he had heard was not repeated.
He was bathed in perspiration; one
side of his coat v$as already white.
How long had he been running? He
did not know; but the conviction was
suddenly forced upon him that he
must be on the wrong road; in her
weak state it was impossible that
olive could have come so far.
Breathless, he doubled back on his
tracks to a fork in the highway, and
took the other road. 1t led to the
place known as Cross Ways, where
two maths intersected, and when a
great stone, roughly hewn in some
dim primitive age into shape some
thing resembling a cross, stood out
black against the sky-a stone that
had perhaps been an altar OF long-tor-
gotten pagan rites, around when
many a village superstition had grown
up.
AS he ran Stephen asked himself
why he had not taken this road t1rst-
only in those first moments OF panic
he had not paused to argue logically,
nerhaps had not been capable of doing
so. The significant fact flashed upon
him that Cross Ways was not very far
from Philip Hume's house, and per-
hans some dim obsession still dOmi-
mating the delirious brain had taken
Olive there.
turn of the road, and for an in
slant Stephen Ruthen's footsteps
stoned dead, a silence of supreme
horror sealing his lips at the sight of
the tragic thing that rushed up to
meet his eyes.
Before him, throwing it's long dark
reflection over the Wintry roadway
like a pointing, shadowy finger, stood
the great grim stone that long ago
was said to have known bloodshed and
sacrifce-that was looking down on a
new victim tonight.
Almost in the middle of the open
snace of the Cross Ways, with that
pointing finger of shadow falling
black across it, lay what in life had
been Philip Hume, with a stark, gray
face upturned to the sky.
And kneeling by the dead man IN
the snow, it's whiteness stained by a
slowly-widening blot of crimson, with
her fingers still clenching a small
weapon whose polished barrel caught
the moonlight with an evil glitter, was
Olive!
She was clearly unconscious of his
approach as she knelt there by the
PROSTATE figure, the dark cloak about
her glistening with powdered white
ness. AS if mechanically, she was
smoothing the snow as it fell from
off the dead mans brow, her glitter
ing, feyer-scorched eyes fastened on
the upturned face that in life she had
hated SO deeply, had had such cause
to hate. The pity and the terror of it
clutched at Stephen Ruthen's heart
