Nine. Japy. is supposed to have been
incidental to the killing of Steinhell.
He was the man it was desired to get
out of the way. Steinheil, his wife and
Nine. Japy lived together. The wife
was found bound and gagged in bed,
and at first she declared that she had
been thus treated by three men and a
woman, all unknown to her.
1t is now learned that Nine. Steinheil
was receiving the visits of several
wealthy men, among them Maurice
Borderel. and that she had promised
each Of them that she would marry
him in event Of her becoming widowed
or divorced.
Testimony from every quarter seems
to upset completely the charges of the
royalist press that the late President
Felix Faure was the victim of criminal
dealing. but even NJ. Dupuy, his pre-
mier, does not deny that Nine. Stein
he'll was with him shortly before his
mysterious death in 1899.
During her confession Nine. Steinheil
was in great distress of mind and
sobbed out: Il hope to Justify myself
before man whose love have now
lost forever" This man is said to be
a French nobleman and In his identity
is believed 70 lie the key to this ro.
mantle tragedy.

WAGE FARMERS PROFIT.
More than 10 Great Corporations
Have Adopted Pension Plans.

More than 10 Great Corporations
Have Adopted Pension Plans.
One Of the most significant develop
ments Of the last ten years has been
the adoption of pension plans by more
than seventy great corporations, Bur-
ton J. Hendricks says In McClures.
This is one of the most tangible ways
in which wage-earners have profited
from the country's recent Industrial
prosperity. In 1898 the pension idea
was practically foreign to this coun-
try; now it is very much in the air.
In that year only one railroad, the
Baltimore & Ohio, systematically grant
er retirement allowances; since 1898.
eighteen lines, representing one-third
Of the railway mileage of the coun.
try, have adopted automatic pension
schemes. Ten years ago none Of Amer
ularly made provision for their old
men; now the largest do so, or have
at present plans under way to that
end Until 1900 pension endowment
funds had not impressed our rich men
as suitable subjects for philanthropy !;
since then, Andrew Carnegie alone has
given nearly s20.0O0.00O for this pur.
pose.
The international Harvester Com
pany, the latest to adopt the pension
idea, is one Of those corporate aggre-
cations popularly referred to as trusts.
As with most trusts, its management
is marvel Of intelligence and enlight-
ened seIf-interest. survey of the
field reveals one significant fact among
corporations and trusts 1t is chiefly
the trusts and the railways that have
most enthusiastically taken up the pen
sion idea. Those corporations and
those captains Of industry that have
figured In recent years most conspicu-
ously as the exemplars Of a pitiless
commercialism have apparently deyel-
oped the tenderest emotions toward
their broken-down employees

David Royant was sitting out on the

had laughingly declined to dance. The
fragrant scent of hothouse flowers hung
in the air, and the strains of the ia

from the ballroom.

honest brown eyes. His was the face
