in far better shape. At the present
time they are lightning fast because Of
the frost being still in the ground, but

Him to Meet Britt.

Battling Nelson was last night
matched by Promoter Mcintosh to meet
Jimmy Britt in Australia some time
next fall, and the Battler will return
with Mr.. Mcintosh when the latter
starts home. The affair probably will
take place in the same arena at Rush
cutters Bay as that in which Burns
and Johnson boxed.
Several other matches are also in
prospect and it is planned to revive
the game across the water on a big
scale. Stanley Ketchel may be one of

was the right thing and saved the then

which number was in itself far in ex-

during the inst phase when the muir
derer was really there. All the traces
Of his presence bad naturally been left
during the nrst phase--the mutton
bone, the black footprints, the Basque
cap. the handkerchief. the blood on the
wall, on the door and on the floor. If
those traces were still all there they
showed that Mile. Stangerson, who de-
sired that nothing should be hRnwn,
had not yet had time to clear fem
away. This led me to the conclusion
that the two phases had taken place
one shortly after the other. She had
not had the opportunity. after leaving
her room and going back to the labo-
ratory 10 her father, to get back again
to her room and put 1t IN order. Her
father was all the time with her, work
ing. So that after the first phase she
did not re-enter her chamber till mid
night. Daddy Jacques was there at 10
o'clock, as he was every night, but he
went in merely to close the blinds and
light the night light. Owing to her
disturbed state Of mind she had forgot
ten that Daddy Jacques would go into
her room and had begged him not to
trouble himself. All this was set forth
In the article in the Matin. Daddy
Jacques did go, however, and In the
dim light Of the room saw nothing.
Mile. Stangerson must have lived
some anxious moments while Daddy
Jacques was absent, but I think she
was not aware that so many evidences
had been left. After she had been at
tackled she had only time to hide the
traces Of the mans fingers on her neck
and to hurry to the laboratory. Had
she known Of the bone, the cap and
the handkerchief she would have made
away with them after she had gone
back TO her chamber at midnight. She
did not see them and undressed by the
uncertain glimmer Of the night light
She went to bed wornout by anxiety
and fear-a fear that had made her re-
main in the laboratory as late as pos
sible.

wrote 60 mademoiseIle, as the adver
tisement requested No doubt he ask
ed for meeting. making known to her
that he was also the person who had
for some time pursued her with his
love. He received no answer He
went to the postofice and aseertained
that his letter was no longer there. He
had already taken complete stock Of
M. Darzac, and, having decided to 60
to any lengths to gain Mile Stanger-
son, he had planned that, whatever
might happen, NJ Darzac, his hated
rival, should be the man to be sus.
pected.
It do not think that Larsan had as
yet thought Of numbering Nile stan
gersou; but, whatever he might do, be
made sure that NJ. Darzac should suffer
for It. He was very nearly OF the same
height as NJ. Darzac and had almost
the same sized feet. It would not be
difficult to take an impression Of NJ
Darzac's footprints and have similar
boots made for himself. Such tricks
were mere ehilds play for Larsan or

to find out what those papers con
