almost paraIyzed with tear as Jones
slipped from his chair to the floor.
Was he dead or alive? He uttered
a low and suppressed moan as his lank

The two survivors suddenly left the
hotel and crossed over to Jersey City
and took lodging at Taylor's hotel.
where they registered under assumed
names. as they had done previously at
the Merchants. 1t was late In the
evening when they went to bed
They had left the Merchants hotel
late in the afternoon. Jones. the sup
| posed drugged countryman, was not
| quite as dead as the judges stepson
thought him to be. He. too, was a
| skilled pretender.
Soon after his entertainers had Ia
ken their departure he, possum-like,
came to life. got up and took a drink
from the brandy bottle that was left
upon the table. and made his way at
once to the government secret service
Office. where he told the story OF his
adventure and received further In
structions. This so-called Jones was a
detective of marked ability. He could
assume almost any character and de-
ceive the best educated criminal. yet
withal an honest, faithful servant To
the government.
At an early hour on the following
morning at Taylor's hotel Reed pre-
tended to be taken suddenly sick with
a cramp in his stomach He left bis

time afterwards he rushed back into

stepson with a trembling voice that

A Brutal Murder and Robbery.

Another OF those outrageous and
dastardly murders which have so
recently startled the community
occurred In this city yesterday af-
ternoon, the particulars Of which
are as follows: 1t appears that
shortly after dark last evening a
well dressed man, apparently
thirty-fye years OF age. was found
by the police lying ear the foot
OF CORTLAND street in an insensi-
BILE condition. He was taken 10 the
police station. where r~estoratives
were administered, and when he
had revived sufficiently he stated
that his name was P. R Jones and
that he was from Fort Wayne.
Ind.
Mr.. Jones was removed 10 the city
hospital last evening. where he be-
came delirious and died about nine
O'Clock. The police are on the
track OF the murderers. who are
supposed to be from Baltimore or
Washington, as the clerk az the
hotel states that they came in just
after the arrival of the Washing
ton train. The clerk is positive he
can identify them.
A frightful ghost had risen and was
standing in its most horrible form be
fore the TO- half-crazed stepson. The
Of the hangman was looming VI
before his eyes. He did lot even
take time to wash his face. so great
was his anxiety to leave New York be
hind him. Even the very air he
breathed seemed tainted with the fou
odor of his crime. It was thought tC
be dangerous to travel by rail at first
and they started away on foot. anC

Money and Happiness.

It Is not the mere accumulation OF
money that hurts men. 1t is the sacri
fees they are willing to make for
money. 1t is the desire to abandon
themselves to unwholesome self-grati
fication; to become walking appetites;
to lose all obligation for self-restraint
all obligation for laborious days and
temperate nights-this is what per
suades philosophers that the root OF
evil Is money. For without labor and
self" modification" and the acquire
ment of that strength, both moral and
physical. which comes to him who has
learned to say mo" to his own appe
titles and his own desires, there is nc
truer greatness, no advance to those
higher levels of character and spirit
ual discernment which marks men of
from one another as they mark men
off from the beasts OF the field.-Pstts

Yes, think you are" the other

lucky enough to win Alice Kings

not seen the old gentleman; and you
should have seen dad sit up when |
gave him the facts. He knew King
in the old days, about the time they
both got to making money, and he
said he was the most "sot" of any
man he ever knew: and, further. he
has few old-fashioned ideas about
things and that's where you fall down,
my boy. One thing especially: He
has big farm up in the hills and he
can get out and pitch hay. plant, rake.

Discipline Of Children.

For the good of the child, IL for nc
other reason, discipline should begin
as soon as child Is old enough to
manifest its own will. That is earlier
than many people suppose. Discipline
should be conformed altogether to the
good Of the child and not to the com
fort and convenience of the parent. al
though these also are to be consid
cred.
Make few simple rules for the
government of the child, and enforce
them. They can be added to as the
child grows in strength aud knowl
edge. And enforcement of these rules
will be better through the means OF
commentator or reward for obedi
ence than OF punishment for disobedi.

than try to force it forward.
