Miriam Challoner, propped up with
red silk cushions in a strange attitude
of expectancy, these things had ceased
to matter, for out of her life a living
presence had gone, leaving a void more
harsh than death. For weeks now
she had patiently waited, her ear
strained at every sound, trying to as
soeiate it somehow with her husbands
return. The servants seemed to tread
on tiptoe as they went about their du-
ties. The house was curiously hushed
as though listening, always listening.
"Oh, why doesn't he comeT" she cried,
an agony Of despair IN her voice. and
began to pace the in v agi-
tation.
At that moment a man noiselessly
entered the room. She did not hear
him until, suddenly looking round, she
saw Stevens, the butler. advancing re-
specially toward her.
Stevens held the silver salyer before
her, on which were several letters.
There were nine In all, the last Of
which she quickly tore open as the
sole missive fraught with possibility.
But she was doomed to disappoint'
ment, and, handing them back to him,
she told him to put them on the desk.

whispered, at the same time placing
his arm about her.

Foster, with indignation, but made nc

about two miles south of Columbia
and marked from the distance by tall
pine trees is Jewell cemetery, one
Of the first g~raveyards in this part
Of the State.
This cemetery was set apart as
a burial ground in 1925 by George
Jewell, father Of William Jewell,
the founder Of William Jewell Col
llege, at Liberty, Mo. The remains
Of former Governor Chas. H. Har-
din, Of this city, are among the bod
les inferred there.
Some prominent Missourians re-
lated to the Jewell family have been
buried there. Among them were
George Jewell and his son, VIII

enclosed by a stone wall about four
feet high. A plate ON the iron gate
in the front wall bears the follow
ing inscription:
mo one but the husband, wife
or child of a descendant of George
Jewell can be buried here. See rec
ord book L, page 10S."
The last line refers to the rec
ords of the Boone County Court con
corning the establishing of the Gem
l etery.
Within the enclosure are abou'
: thirty monuments of various sizei
and patterns. In the back part o
/ grounds. small stones without in
scrIpuIons of any sort mark the DUR
ial places of about twenty negrt
slaves and servants of the family.
At his death in 1892, forme

order of the county court, three
!, years ago last October, the fun'

BLOODH0UNDS LOSE TRAIL.
Follow Scent of Springfield Slayer
Two Miles From Scene of Crime.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, April with
rewards aggregating $1,000 offered for the
murderer's capture the trail of the mys-
terious burglar who killed Miss Martha B.
Blackstone Thursday evening in the home
of Miss Harriet P. Dow, whom he also
wounded, tonight ends at a trolley car post
on Bliss road, Long Meadow, two miles
from the scene of the murder on Round
Hill. Two famous man-hunting blood
hounds today tracked the mulrderers
course from the window by which he
entered the Dow homestead down Main
street nearly through the heart of the
city to the trolley post where the slayer
evidently had boarded an electric car
Attempts to pick up the trail again at
Thompsonville, Conn, and at Warehouse
Point, two plat es at which it was thought
the fugitive might have alighted, were
made without success.
The police profess entire confidence in
the sensational work of the bloodhounds,
which showed no hesitancy in following
the trail in Springfield.
