food I ate did not agree with me.

OF MURDER
Three Bodies Found in Ruins Of Their
Burned Home.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 5-Indications
that Harvey Hurst, his wife and Elsie
Adams. 16 years old, were murdered be
fore their home at Delaware was burned,
were found in the ruins of the residence
today. Each of the victims had evidently
suffered frightful wounds about the head
before they were cremated.
Search in the ruins of the Hurst resi-
denee today revealed the three bodies
First examination of the charred corpses
convinced physicians that the three had
been killed before the house was burned
down. The wounds appeared to have
been inflicted by a heavy hammer while
Hurst, his wife and their young kins-
woman slept County authorities began
an immediate investigation.
Disclosures made to a coroner's jury
added little light to the case. The jury
discovered, it reported, that both Mrs.
Hurst and Miss Adams were in a delicate
condition. Arrest Of a young man who
has called frequently at the house is
limited at but the coroner's jury seemed
to fear it lacked convincing evidence. 1t
failed to fix the blame upon any one.
Witnesses told of having seen man run
from the direction of the Hurst home last
night.

their majesties.
When the greetings were over, a
procession of five royal carriages was
formed. The king and queen with the
Prince of Wales and Princess Mary
occupied the first carriage, which was
drawn by four horses. With its escort

CHAPTER XVI.
A New Arrival.

Thrice had the old nurse, Marie,
assisting her mistress that night for
the banquet, sighed; a number Of
times striven to hold my lady's eye
and attention, but in vain. Only when
the adorning process was nearly COM
pleted and the nurse knelt with a
white slipper, did she, by a distinctly
detaining pressure, succeed in arrest
ing, momentarily, the others bright
strained glance.
'Is anything the matter?" My lady's
absent tone did not invite condolences.
"My Lady" the woman hesitated;
yet seemed anxious to speak. 'I-my
Lady," she began again; with sign
of encouragement from the Governor s
daughter, would have gone on; but the
latter, after waiting moment, abrupt.
ly withdrew the silken-shod foot.
THE banquet It is past the hour! p"
ku instant she stood, not seeing the
other or the expression Of disappoint-
-ment on the woman's countenance;
then quickly walked to the door. Nor,
as the Governors daughter moved
down the long corridor, with crimson
lips set hard, was she cognizant Of
another face th3t looked out from one
of the many passages Of the palace
after her-the face Of younger wom-
an whose dark, spying eyes glowed
and whose hands closed at sight Of
tho Vanishing fip1Irai
The sound Of gay voices, however,
as she neared the banqueting hall, per
force recalled my lady to a sense of
her surroundings; at the same time
a figure in full court dress stepped
from the widely opened doors. An
adequate degree Of expectancy on his
handsome countenance, my lord, the
Marquis, who had been waiting, lover
fashion, for the first glimpse Of his
mistress that evening, now gallantly
rendered his greetings.
Seldom, perhaps, had the ancient
banqueting hall presented a more fes-
tive appearance. Fruits and flowers
made bright the tables; banners me
dieval, trophies Of many victories,
trailed from the ceiling; a hundred
lights were reflected from ornaments
of crystal and dishes Of gold. On eY-

heavy square pillar, she gazed at the
lords and ladies assembled in the for
bidding place; listened to voice that
ran on, as if discoursing about some
anomalous thing. Again was she cog
nizant OF their questions; a jest from
my lord, the Marquis; she saw that
several stole forward; peered, and
started back, half afraid.
But, at length, they asked about the
oubliettes, and, chatting gaily, left.
Thsir garments almost touched the
Governors daughter; lights played
about the gigantic pillars, and like
will-o-the-wisps whisked away. Now
staring straight ahead toward the
chamber they had vacated, my lady's
attention became fixed by single dot
of yellow-a candle placed in niche
by the jailer's assistant. 1t seemed
to fascinate; to draw her forward;
across the portals-into the room it.

How long she stood there in the
faint suggestion Of light, she did not
realize; nor when she approached the
iron-barred aperture, and what she
first said! Something eager, soliG-
tous, with odd silences between the
words, until the impression Of a mo-
tionless form, and two steady, cynical
eyes fastened on her, brought her to
an abrupt pause. It was some time
before she continued, more coherently,
an explanation about her apprehen-
sion on account of her father, which

over a scene Of greater splendor than
their fair hostess, his daughter!
With feverish semblance Of spirit,
she took her place; beneath the keen
eyes Of his Excellency responded to
sallies of wit, and only when between
courses the music played, did her
manner relax. Then, leaning on her
elbow, with cheeks aflame and down
cast eyes, she professed to listen to
dainty strains-the signing Of the old
troubadours, as initiated by a group
Of perform ers in costume on a balcony
at one end Of the hall.

how, when Sanchez had seen her,
