grinned and smirked at Doherty..
Doherty pulled his pistol He aimed
at the thing. Then he shut his ewes
and staggered to the hall, blind with
the flash and crazed with fright. At
the door he looked back. The Thing,
grinning even behind the veil of
smoke, was standing motionless where
Doherty had been and beside it were
the two letters addressed to Miss
Cerisse Wayne. The report of the
pistol had called Pierre Desterle from
his wife's side.
"Patreeck, Patreeck," he cried.
I'm coming. 1t is Pierre. What is
it?"
Pierre was mounting the top stair
when Doherty leaned over the banis-
tiers and pushed him back.

The Frenchman saw the Irishman's
rosy face now white as chalk and his
sunken eyes. The Thing within
Cerisse Wayne's room began jibbering
again. The policeman threw the
frightened Desterle down stairs and
waited in awful fear till help should
come.

HORSE STILL IN DEMAND.

In Spite of MOtor-Car Craze Man,
Friend Is Not Forgotten.
There are marked signs of a reviva
of interest in the horse That heauti
full creature has never been wholly
forgotten, not even when the craze
for motor cars was at it's height, fol
flesh and blood and a high order OF
intelligence when added to beauty have
claims that the smoothest running
have been times during the past four
or five years when many lovers of the
horse must have despaired of his fu
ture. Those times, fortunately, seem
passed, never to return.
In New York the market for light
harness horses has not been so &C
tive since 1906, says the Providence
Bulletin. The prices are high, but the
supply is painfully inadequate to meet
the demand. The revival in interest
in road racing in Providence, where
there are now two driving clubs, and
an attractive speedway Roger Will
liams Park, where the members engage
in their fascinating sport, is prob
ably only one instance in many of the
renewed enthusiasm with which the
man of means and leisure is returning
to the fast roadster.
Nor is the demand for the horse CON
fined to those who desire speed. This
severe winter with its snowdrifts and
uneven roads, ifl-fitted for motor cars
has caused exceptional activity in the
markets for carriage, wagon and truck
horses.
Draft horses are also in demand
This demand evidently is regarded as
permanent, for American enterprise
is now devoting much money to the
breeding of this variety. The Iowa
State Agricultural College, under the
direction of Prof. C. F. Curtiss, one
of the judges of draft horses at the
last national horse show in New York,
Is attempting to develop a purely
American variety of this breed. Start
ing with Shires and Clydesdales, two
British breeds, and using only gray
colored animals, Prof. Curtiss plans ia
evolve draft horse of that color,
Gray Is desired, for those that are of
that color are popularity and also
scientifically considered better able to
endure severe heat than those of other
colors. The experiments that the gov.
eminent and private citizens are max
ing in Vermont to improve the Nor
gan, an allround horse Of great use
fulness, are further evidence OF the
enduring nature of the revival of in
terest in this fine animal. Lovers OF
the horse have again come into their
own and they are likely to have more
cause than ever before for their ad.
miration and affection.

REMAINS WILL BE TAKEN TO
SEATTLE FOR BURIAL BY
A SISTER.

]. T. Wolfe, superintendent OF
power and electric construction of
the Tonopah Mining company, and
also superintendent of the Esmeral-
da Power company, passed away at
Los Angeles Friday night, after an
illness of about a week. Mr.. Wolfe
had been suffering from stomach
trouble for about a year, but a
week ago, while in Los Angeles at
tending to company business, he
took turn for the worse and en-
tered one of the leading hospitals
in that city. For several days
prior to his death no hope was ad-
vanced for his recovery. w. w.
Charles. comptroller of the Tonopah
Mining company, who was a close
friend of the deceased, was at the
bedside when the end came.
Wolfe resided in this city for
for about four years and had many
friends here. His relatives live in the
east, with the exception of a mar
ried sister, Mrs. F. M. Kollick, who
resides at Seattle, and with whom
he visited last summer. His moth
err lives at Pittsburg and an
other sister is resident of Leban-

and unmarried. The body will be
taken to Seattle for interment, the

Will APPEAL
MURDER CASE OF
FRED Skinner
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL OVER
RULED BY JUDGE AVERILL
YESTERDAY.

Attorney George B. Thatcher yes
terday made a motion for a new
trial in the Skinner murder case,
which was overruled by Judge NJ.
R. Averill. Thereupon Mr.. Thatch-
er gave notice that he would ap-
peal the case to the supreme court
and will send the appeal up in a
few days.
Skinner, in the meantime, is serv-
ing his fifty year sentence in the
state penitentiary for the murder of
Mona Bell at Rhyolite several years
ago. When he left here, following
his sentence, he announced that he
would not appeal the case. but
would endeavor to secure his re-
lease on parole. Should he succeed
in his desire, it is an assured cinch
that there will be quite an exodus
of southern Nevada people for parts
unknown on the date he gains his
freedom.
