Fred CHASER,
Who was a witness for the defense
on Wednesday, was called to the stand
in the rebuttal for the state He said
that Samuels was sane so far as he
could judge from his conduct that ne
had seen. Cross examined by Attorney
Hartzell, witness could not remember
what it was that he talked about with
Samuels In October or November of
the past year, during which period ne
last saw him Giazer could not form
an opinion as TO the sanity of the de
fendart since year ago when he was
employed by the witness. He believed
that the accused was sane when he
Went into the FIRE department. He saw
Sariuels rolling up hose and causual-
" Hpcke to him and on that his opin.
ion was based.
Arthur Meyer
Who lives on Reid street, said that ne
had visited the West Keokuk fire sta
ton three or four evenings of each
week and had talked there with the
defendant He believed him to be
sane
William Sutton.
Testified that he had known Samuels
nearly all Of the latters life and that
he had been employed BY hin. he
thought defendant was sane.
Six years had elapsed since Sam
uels had worked for Sutton, fact
that was developed by the cross-ex
animation. Sutton had not seen very
much Of him since that time. He had
seen him three or four times during
the year ending March g.. 1911. He
had conversed with Samuels very lit
tie since the latter had left his en-
0lcy. Opinion OF the witness az tc
the sanity Of the accused was based
on What had occurred and what he
had observed six years ago. Witness
said: ~ = man was not all right
doa't think he would be on the fire
department.

Means were the two last Witnesses
called for the defense. Mr. Reynolds
said that he knew both Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuels when they occupied dwell

premises frequently and said that "a
had observed the little family rows
and aggrayations that we're more or
less common. The quarrels that the
defendant and his wife had were such
as were developed in other house

making westward. Nearer, in the har-
bor, a fleet of pleasure craft, riding
at anchor on the still, dark tide, was
revealed in many faint, wraith-like
shapes Of gray, all studded with yel-
low stars. Ashore, endless festoons Of
colored lamps draped the gloom of the
terraces; the facade Of the Casino
stood out lurid against the darkness;
the hotels shone with reflected bril-
lance, the palace Of the Prince de
Monaco loomed high upon the PENN
sula, it's elevations picked out with
lines of soft fire.
The O'Rourhe shook his head, con.

He was right. Abruptly he discov-

the illumination behind him. He was
conscious Of the pallid oval Of her

but more t1.an all else of the glamour
Of eyes that shone into his softly,

whist! 'Tis myself-'tis Terence"
But she was gone. A low, stifed
laugh was all his answer-that and
the silken whisper of her skirts as she
scurried from the window. He flush
ed crimson, waited an instant, then
flung discretion to the winds, and
found himself scrambling out upon the
balcony. Heaven only knows to what
lengths the man would have gone had
not the slam Of a door brought him up
standing; she had left her room!
So she thought to escape him so
easily! He swore between his teeth
with excitement and tumbled back
whence he had come. Regardless Of
the fact that he was still in his shirt
sleeves he rushed madly for the door.
On the way a shooting-jacket on the
door, perhaps In revenge for neglect
and ill-treatment, maliciously wound it.

aped 10 advantage. his play was q
wonder of the Casino; for the matter
Of that, his high-handed and extrava-
CANT ways had made the entire Prin-
cipality Of Monaco conscious Of his
presence in the land. And you fall
in the least to understand the nature
OF the man If you think for moment
that it irked him to be admired, point
ed out, courted, pursued. He was, In
deed, never so splendid as when
aware that he occupied the public eye.
In short, he was just an Irishman.
So, then, It's nothing wonder
full that ne should seem thought hni-
cal about the set Of his tie.
Now as he stood scowling at his
Image, and wishing from the bottom
Of his heart he had never been fool
enough to let Danny leave him, and
calling fervent blessings down upon
the head Of the 1end who first design
ed modern evening-dress for men-he
found himself suddenly with a mind
divested OF any care whatever and at
tentive alone to g. sound which came
to him family, borne upon the heavy
wings Of the sluggish evening air.
It was nothing more nor less than q
woman singing softly to herself (hum-
ming would probably be the more ac-
curate term), and it was merely the
tune that caught his fancy; a bit OF
an old song he himself had once
been wont to sing, upon time when
be had been a happier man. 1t SEEM
ed strange to hear - there, stranger
still that the woman's voice, indistlnct
as it was, should have such familiar
ring in his memory. He frowned in
wonder and shook his head. ''The age
Of miracles is past" he muttered;
"'tWould never be herself. I've had
me chance-and forfeited it. Twill
not come to me a second time. -
The singing ceased. Of a sudden
O'Rourke swore with needless heat,
and, plucking away the offending tie,
cast it saEagely from him. ''The div
vie fly away with ye!" he said. 'Is it
bent on driving me mad ye are? I'd
give me fortune to have Danny back!
Me fortune faith" He laugh
ed the word to bitter scorn. "'Tis
meself that never had the least Of any
thing like that without twas feminine
with a mis- tackled onto the front
Of it," And he strc1e away to the
window to cool off.
1t was like him to forget his exas-
peration in the twinkling Of an eye;
another mood entirely swayed him by
the time he found himself gazing out
into the vague, velvety dusk that mo-
mentarily was closing down upon the
fairy-like panorama Of terraced gar
dens and sullen, silken sea. His
thoughts had winged back to that
dear woman of whom that fragment
OF melody had put him in mind; and
he was signing and heavy Of heart
with longing for the sight Of her and
the touch Of her hand.
Even as he watched, stark night fell,
black as pocket beneath porten-
tous pail of cloud. Far out
upon the swelling bosom of the Med

him headlong; only frantic clutch at
the footrail of the bed saved him.
Kicking the thing savagely off he
flung himself upon the door and threw
it open. His jaw dropped.
The lift shaft was directly opposite.
Before it, in more or less patient wait
ing, stood a very young and beautiful
woman in a gown whose extreme can.

He was mistaken; but the young
woman, at first startled by his uncer

eous second thought decided to per
NIT him to discover that twin imps,
at least, resided in her eyes. And
when his disappointment prevented
him from recognizing them, her dawn
ing smile was swiftly erased and her
ascending eyebrows spoke eloquently
enough Of her naughty displeasure
Synchronously the lift hesitated at
that landing and the gate Changed
wide; the young woman wound her
skirt about her and showed him a
back which at any other time would
have evoked his unstinted admiration.
Then the gate shot to with rattle
and bang, and the lift dropped out OF
sight, leaving the man with mouth
agape and eyes as wide.

chambre on duty in the corridor, re-
marking O'Rourke's pause of stupefed
chagrin, hoped and believed he need.

him accordingly.
"M'sieu' is desirous off,"
He came out of his trance. Moth.

"But, yes" he reconsidered with
haste. "That lady who but this mo-
ment took the liit-ner name?"
"Her name, m'sieu'? Ma'm'selle Vol

'Impossible!" he told himself aloud,
utterly unable to forge any connecting
link between the lady in the lift and
her whose voice had beWitched him
"But assuredly, m'sieu'. Do 1 not
know who have waited upon her
hand and foot these three days and to
whom she has not given as much as

teeth. "Ma'm'selle Victorine Vol

O'Rourke fumbled in his pocket and
found golden ten-franc piece, surren.

as though it had been as many cen.

CARVING TRIPoLI PIE.

It k not al all likely that the war iu the Mediterranean will spread be- yond the confines of the Turkish pos sessions in Africa. The war will be localized and it's chief result. will be the substitution of civilized govern ment for Tripoli. which means prog. ress and development for the prov. ince.
 some fears were expressed that the war might spread to Turkey in Eu- robe and ultimately compel opening up the troublesome questions that concern the Balkan provinces. but Austria has warned Italy to keep out of Albania. and. although demon stration was made on that coast. it is not likely that Italy had any serl- ous purpose Of invading Turkey.
 Italy can handle the Tripoll matter without difficulty. because. having full command of the sea. she can pre- vent the landing of Turkish rein forcements in Africa. but an invasion Of Turkey would be q much bigger contract. because the Turk on his ns. tive soil Is 6 powerful and tenacious antagonist with 2 strong and well disciplined army.
 If it should come to pass. however. that the great powers had agreed that the time had come for a parti- ton nf Turkey in Europe. il could not he denied that Italy would be en- titled to share.
