CHAPTER XVI.


u HR. MILTON turned away and
wi was drawing out a chair for
himself near one upon which
4 seedy, bearded stranger
had placed a small leather hand bag
when suddenly the whole restaurant
seemed alive with dry. cracking ex-
plosions. and In the same instant the
electric lamps went out The room,
moment ago brilliantly lighted. was
black as vault save for glimmer
from the street that shone through the
window. Then, as every one jumped
up. overturning chairs or breaking
glasses In their hurry and the shrieks
OF the Italian women mingled with
the strange cracking sounds, there
came from somewhere at the back a
loud defamation, followed by a hoarse
roaring like blast furnace Men
cried out In amazed alarm. and the
dark room lit up ominously with a
crimson glare that turned the curtain
through which II leaked the color of
blood.
In rushed Black Dick and his assist
ant. with Blinkey, who had been busy
In the kitchen, and all three shouted
wildly, Fire. frev'
The restaurant was in state Of
chaos. long Jet Of flame sweeping
out from the kitchen and across the
narrow passage caught the curtain In
the doorway, up which little serpents
of fire began TO crawl. Every woman
was screaming now In a panic Of fear
whipped to horror by the red dark
ness and the cracking explosions which
snapped and spluttered on every side,
The eXcitable Italians chartered and
struggled with one another In the dark.
the new Polish waiter ran here and
there like frightened chicken that

called vainly on the Hungarian broth
ers and De Rocheverte for help in
bringing order out of confusion.
At the. time OF the first explosion
Loveland had been quietly setting

OF course the mans fraud and

thought. But I'll be hanged II like
seeing him take his medicine. He's a

Never glancing at the eight faces,
which watched his every movement
with sixteen brilliant eyes, Loveland
passed their table and went to tell the
COOK that the Italian party would have
rum omelet in place Of the lost ice
cream. Cohen's fried oysters were
ready, the Pole having just served
them, and now the second course of
the dinner--begun already with blue
points-was waiting for the "swells."
IL was soup. and Loveland had either
TO carry II in and serve It himself or
else to show that the torture of the
lash was bcyond his endurance.

resolved, returning to the restaurant

As he bent down to pick up the bro.

still deeper in humiliatlng depths, were
not worth n pang and should not see

For one short instant he detested
Mrs. Milton so intensely that he half
regretted his vow to spare her name ut

Alexander, loudly enough to be heard
by those who sat round the table near
to the curtained door.

voice steady.

A litter went round the room among
those who had enough English to un.

n faint, suppressed sound OF laughter
at Mrs. Millions table.
Loveland turned white. He had an
impulse to hurl the broken dishes now

ago he would have done so without
stopping to reflect. But he had lived

which no one had even tried to teach
him In the past--mastery of himself.
Pale, but perfectly composed In ap.
penrance, he did not even look toward
Cohen and seemed to take no more
notice Of the young mans imperti-
nence than of the barking of some
mongrel dog, too feeble to be kicked.
Ardently Loveland longed to get out
OF the room and to stay out: but.
though he could have escaped by car.
rying the broken dishes into the
kitchen, he would not deign to turn
his back on the enemy. He gave the
tray TO Blinkey and obeyed gesture
OF Alexander's which sent him to take

Murderer leaves Strange Note.

Joseph Vacek, a wealthy carpenter
contractor, aged ffty-five years, of Chi
cago, was found murdered in his home
in the southwest section of the city
He had been shot in the head. Near
the body was a letter addressed to
Mrs Vacek, the victims wife, signed
"B. H., which read
your husband is now where he
wanted you to be. He told us if we
killed you he would give us $500, and
we failed. We asked him for the coin
anyway, and he did not give it to us,
so we got even. He deserved it and
not you. l am a perfect gentleman
and a friend Of yours. Do not mourn
for this guy, as he is a coward"
Mrs. Vacek told the police that she
left the house with her two children
to visit a friend before her husband
left his bed. She was questioned at
length by the police, and insisted that
there had been no family quarrel and
could throw no light on the matter.

Colonel John Jacob Astor, whose
first wife, formerly Miss Ava Willing,
of Philadelphia, obtained a divorce
from him, is to marry again.
His bride is to be Miss Madeline
Talmage Force, the eighteen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William H.
Force, of "a West Thirty-seventh
street, New York.
The engagement, in fact, follows an
acquaintance of less than a year, for
it was only last summer at Bar Har-
Dor that Mr.. AstOr and Miss Force
were introduced
Miss Force was graduated only last
May from Miss Spence's school in New
York city.
The formal announcement was made
by the parents of the future Mrs. AS
tor, but it did not come as a surprise,
as the report of the engagement, al
though denied, was persistently circu-
lated. Colonel Astor's attentions to
Miss Force gave rise to the report as
long ago as last winter.

that the LeEigh Valley railroad, with

The important feature upon which

OF the number OF Councilmen and the

cognized that this would be q point
into which politics might enter, as
neither party likes to concede an ad-
vantage in ward boundaries The
present ward boundaries OF Whining

Residents of East Brandywine hun

The idea is to use the river road

reach the boulevard in Wilmington,
