the House today.
The provision relating to tho forest
service aroused considerable discus

ed thaI it was new Legislation in an

extension shall be made except by the
purchase of land, or rights therein

Any fear which the prison officials
may have entertained that Gillette's
remarkable composure would desert
him at the last moment was quickly
dispelled when he stepped from his
cell to the corridor leading to the death
chamber His step was firm and
strong and he walked rapidly toward
the instrument of death. Not even by
the culver of an eye lash did he betray
the least sign of emotion and at no
stage did he require assistance from
the big keepers and his faithful spirit
ual directors, who accompanied him in
his last walk He seated himself in
the chair, the straps and electrodes
were placed and within two minutes
Gillette had been officially pronounced
dead
The electrccution lacked much Of the
solemnity of former executions. Wit
nesses did not seem to be impressed
with the fact that life was being
snuffed out, and during most of the
time, except brief space when the
electric current was coursing through
the mans body, there was hum of
voices in conversation. This grew 50
marked during the time that the ply
sicians were making the examination
of the body for signs of life. that the
wardens found it necessary to pound
on the tile covered floor of the cham
Der for silence.
The current necessary to kill was of
1900 volts, at IL amperes and it was
held on three seconds more than q
full minute. When this had been done
careful examinations of the mans
heart were made but there was no sign
Of life. Rev. Henry Mac1lvray Of Lit
tie Falls. who has been with Gillette,
was so overcome at the electrocution
that he was taken from the death
chamber before the contact was shut
off. The mans little figure seemed to
wither up as Gillette's life passed out
and fearful that he would collapse he
started for the door. Keepers walked
beside him.
Witnesses assembled at the warden's
office at o'clock and at $40 the march
from the office down through the south
wing Of the prison to the death cham
Der WAS started. This was quickly
over and at Gil when State Eiectri
clan Davis made his test of the ma
chinery with the bank of lights the
witnesses We're all on hand and had
their seats in the chairs assigned to
them.
The test being finished, the word was
given and the door leading from the
death cells was opened. Gillette walked
firmly and looking neither to the right
nor to the left. came briskly aolng the
row and into the chamber. On either
side of him was a minister of the Cos
pei. Chaplain Herrick on his right and
Rev. Macllvray on his left. At 6.12.33
the little party entered the chamber
and the work of strapping the man in
the chair was quickly over. The Off
cial time made this $3.50. The contact
was put on at 6.14.03 and it lasted for
three seconds over the full minute, be- |
ing switched off at 6.15.06. Immediate |
~ after DR.. SpitZka, the noted alienist |
made an examination Of the heart. !
Other heart examinations followed and !
at 6.1S Warden Benham announced |
that the law requirements had been
fulfilled.

CHAPTER burton II. Barnes.
wealthy American touring Corsica, res

quartet are about to board the train for
London at Marseilles, Marina is handed
A mysterious note which causes her to
collapse and necessitatcs postponement
of the Journey.
CHAPTER II.-Barnes gets part OF the
mysterious note and receives letters
which inform him that he is marked by
the vendetta. He employs an American
detective and plans to beat the vendetta
at their own game Fer the purpose OF
securing the safety OF the women Barnes
arranses 10 have Lady Chartris lease a
secluded villa At Nice TO which the party
is TO be taken in yacht.
CHAPTER III--Suspiclen is created
that Marina is In league with the Corsi-
cans. man, believed to be Corrcgio Da-
nella. Is seen passing the house and Mnri-
she refuses to exp ain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious.
CHAPTER 1v.-Barnes plans for the
safety OF the party are learned by the
Corsicans. The carriage carrying their
party TO the local landing is followed by
two men, are supposed to be Corregio.
and they try to murder the American.
The cook on the yacht-a f'renchman--is
suspected.
"They have gone away
"Where?"
ITO London, imagine"
Maud flies from the room and alone
in her own chamber sobs, groans and
rends her hair. muttering: "Oh. could
have sold Barnes the other part Of Ma
rina's letter for lots, and now he's
gone away and 1t amt worth tup-
pence"
She is about to go despairingly to
bed when curiosity mingling with her
disappointment, she calculates:
wonder what 1t is, anyway" and goes
to studying the little quarter of sheet
OF letter paper she has drawn from
the bosom Of her frock.
1t is mixture of French and Italian
She cannot entirely decipher the for
eign handwriting; indeed she can
scarcely understand 1t.
But. some passages in 1t produce
such terrible effect upon the child's
nerves that after she has gone to bed
she losses about and sleep will not
come to her. Suddenly her very pig
tails seem to stiffen with terror; she
rises half out Of bed and mutters to
herself: "Oh, what do they mean by
killing her, If she does; and killing her
husband. If she doesn't?"
