iect was Thurley,' he answered, attempting
a smile of his own. "Such subject could
scarcely be exhausted in an afternoon
"Ah, yes-and your past relationship, or
something of the sort Was that not finished
either"
Gaillard was not entirely persuaded as to
the full significance of her question. He con-
cluded to be on the safer side. He drew back
the corners of his mouth peculiarly. 1t was
not a very pleasant expression.
1.-The relation has never been finished, he
answered incisively. 1t has really just re-
begun"
It was bold speech, almost defantly de-
livered. Alice accepted its challenge mentally
with certain zest that heightened her color.
"Oh. Well of course that, after all, is
matter for you and Thurley alone, she an
swered. 1T was not your intention to enlist
my services in your behalf, naturally
1t was rather blunt question, one calcu-
lated to uncover his batteries, SO to speak
He recognized its nature. "Why, no, not
precisely; but, standing as you do, some
what as Thurley's sponsor, promoter, friend,
YOU can see that the least l could do was to
make the matter plain to you as soon as pos
sble, let you know everything about it.
The joker lay in his emphasis on the one
word Everything" as Alice readily OWNED.
What he meant to convey was simply that
he wished her to know without delay that
his power was great and he meant to employ
it to any required extent; that he would not
be blocked by herself, her plans, or even by
Thurley herself.
Il am very glad you came for this reveal
ing chat" she told him, smiling as she rose
from her chair. q 1t clears things wonder
fully always to be perfectly frank"
He too rose, aware the interview was
ended. Her battling inscrutability, which
he felt and little comprehended, annoyed
him excessively. Her apparent candor and
acquiescence yelled so much, and left him SO
little with which to contend or struggle He
had come prepared for open war, if need be;
he found his heavy artillery useless. But
one thing more he did intend, that Alice
should know he meant to see Thurley often,
take her out publicly, and exhibit to the
world his particular favor in her sight.
Now that am back, with considerable
leisure" he said, Il shall arrange quite a
program for the little girl. have seen her
SO little for the last few months that there
good deal of time to make up. may come
around-in fact, l shall come around-to-
morrow with my car; unless, of course, you
and Thurley have some particular engage
ment."

ton all but took Alices breath. 1t was al
most admirable. 1t aroused her ire and
amusement together. She thought she fore
saw the means of his own undoing by its own
very weight and persistence.
"Why, yes, by all means come to-mor-
row" she said. 1t will be great pleasure
for us all"
He thanked her, shook her proffered hand,
and was presently gone, still wondering just
what her manner signifed and how far she
would aid or oppose him.

London, July 2S-Miss Dora Jess.
lyn Taylor, an actress, and William p.
Clyde, Jr., son of the famous steam.
ship man, were welded today in the
presence of death.
They moved to the altar rail across
the grim granite barrier of tomb.
Within two feet of them, as they
knelt for the final sacrament of mar.
riage, lay the body Of a man.
The many American guests could
not but shudder at the strange and
gruesome situation which marked the
first marriage ceremony in old Dul-
wlch College Chapel
1t happened that a man of the
name of Mitchell, a lifelong supporter
of the college, had died a few days
before and his obsequies had been
solemnized in the chapel only yester.
day.
AS the brightly dressed wedding
guests assembled in the church. the
great green granite tomb still stood
seemingly insurmountable bulwark
before the pulpit.
The bride and bridegroom moved
to the chancel rail and during the
first part of the ceremony the pres
ence of the dead seemed forgotten.
But, according to the strict ritual
of the church, they were summoned to
the base of the pulpit for the blessing
They had risen. The guests caught
their breaths in strange alarm. The
great sarcophagus stood between the
couple and the pulpit.
There was but a moments hest
fancy Gracefully lifting the train OF
her exquisite gown the bride placed
one dainty hand upon the top of the
coffin ard the next moment had leap
ed to the other side. The bridegroom
though unhandicapped by flowing gar
ments, was less graceful than she; but
he was quickly at her side. The bless
ing was pronounced amid a solemn
| silence.

army, was best man.

honeymoon, and will then return to

IA II
Is Guarded From An Akron
Mob

San Francisco, July 2s.-Upon the
result of an investigation now being
conducted by District Attorney Boyd
of Marin county, California, will de-
pend whether DIR. l.. G. Chisholm, re-
Gently convicted of the murder of John
ID. Powell, or Van X. Drouilard, and
sentenced to life Imprisonment, shall
be brought back from Folsom peniten-
tiary shall be brought back to be tried
for the murder of Miss Minna Paas.
The young woman's body was found
on Mt. Tamalpais, across the bay
on San Francisco, two years ago.
At that time no clew to the identity
of her slayer could be discovered, but
facts developed during the recent trial
of DR.. Chisholm led the authorities to
resume the investigation. 1t is assert
ed by the District attorneys of both
Marin and Sonoma counties that suffi.
cient evidence has been unearthed to
warrant the linking of Chisholm's
name with the Mt. Tamalpais crime.
Inquiry is being made to learn the
probable fate of at least six other wo-
men with whom the San Francisco
physician had boasted intimacy, and
who at different times mysteriously
disappeared.
1t was brought out at the trial of
Chisholm that he had been sentenced
to a Tennessee prison for counterfeit
ing 10 years ago. Later he deserted
his wife and six children in Orlinda,
Tenn. Mrs. Chisholm graduated from
a college for women at Nashville,
where, as Nellie Payne, she was pop
ular among her classmates.
Miss Paas, the victim of Mt. Tamal-
pals, is believed to have come with
DR.. Chisholm from Tennessee. 1t is
the theory of the officials that the
young woman was killed for 5000
which she had in her possession.
According to the testimony at the
trial, the murder of Van X Drouil-
lard, formerly of Nashville, or John
K Powell, was committed to enable
Chisholm, in conspiracy with wom-
an who posed as the wife of the slain
main, to collect $1,000 insurance.

FARMER
Put Up $4,000 On A Fake
Horse Race

Kansas City, Mo-, July 2S-A man
who said his name was Morlan and
that he was one of two Iowa farmers
who mortgaged their homes for $4,000
and sent the money to ]. B. Haggins
in Chicago, who was to be in on a
horse race and clean up small for
tune, came here today to get $4,000, the
amount he put up, and his share of
the winnings. He has failed to find
Mr.. Haggins.
Morian made his troubles known to
J. A. Runyan, industrial commissioner
of the Kansas City Commercial Club.
I1e went to the .club officials to ask
information concerning the possible
place in the city where j. B. Haggins
could be found, but he refused to tell
the location of his farm in Iowa or his
Christian name.
According TO the story told to Mr..
Runyan by Mr.. Morian, ]. B. Hag-
gins of Chicago several months ago
visited his section of Iowa and made
friends of many of the farmers. He
was especially interested in Morian
and his neignbor and when he re-
turned to Chicago the two often sent
him small amounts of money which
Haggins would bet on horse races.
The farmers won many times the
amount of the money they bet, but a
short lime ago, Morian said, Haggins
wrote him advising him and his neigh
Dor to raise all the money they could,
saying he had inside information on a
big race and would win fortune for
each. The farmers mortgaged their
homes for $4,000 each and forwarded
the money to Haggins.
A short time later he wrote them
He had won, Then he wrote to Nor
Ian to meet him in Kansas City and
get the money This brought Morlan
TO this city today. He is still here
trying to locate his friend, the $4,000
and the winning.
