TTIT CIRCULAR STAIRCASE

was confronted by Arnold, who for
some reason was determined to get
into the house.. He had golf-stick

rage and fear. and got into the house
while Gertrude and Jack Bailey were
at the front door. She went upstairs,
hardly knowing what she was doing.
Gertfude's door was open, and Hal
sey's revolver lay there on the bed
She picked IL up and turning ran part
way down the circular staircase. She
could hear Arnold fumbiing at the
lock outside. She slipped down quiet
iy and opened the door; he was in
side before she had got back to the
stairs. 1t was quite dark, but she
could see his white shirt-bosom. From
the fourth step she fired. AS he fell
somebody in the billiard room

was raised, she had had no time to
get upstairs; she hid in the west wing
until every one was down on the
lower floor. Then she slipped upstairs
and thew the revolver out of an up
per window, going down again in time
to admit the men from the Greenwood
club.
If Thomas had suspected, he had
never told. When she found the hand

worse, she gave the address of Lucien

Cheering Her Up.

Islington, which is no longer rural,
was once so esteemed by medical men
that they sent their patients there
after severe illness Many also went
there in the last stages in the forlorn
hope that the invigorating air might
restore them to health. A story re-
lated by DIR. Abernethy turns on the
latter class of visitors One of his
patients engaged some rooms in Is
Hngton, and casually remarked to the
landlady that the banisters on the
staircase were very much broken
..Lor' bless you, man," said the land
lady. Its no use to mend them, for
they always get broken when the un-
dertaker's men bring the collins down
stairs."-London Chronicle

BANKERS KNEW THEIR MAN
In His Customary Condition, and No
Further Identification Was
Necessary.

One day a big city bank received
the following message from one of its
country correspondents: Pay $25 to
John Smith who will call today" The
cashiers curiosity became suspicion
when a cabman assisted into the bank
a drunken fare" who shouted that he
was John Smith and wanted some
money. Two clerks pushed. pulled
and piloted the boisterous individual
into a private room away from the
sight and hearing of regular depos-
itors. The cashier wired the country
bank:
Man claiming to be John Smith IL
here. Highly intoxicated. Shall We
await Identification"
The answer read: Identification
complete. Pay the money.'-Success
