This concluding remark of his, ac-
companied with sunny smile, broke
the tension, but Carolyn almost
spoiled everything by saying:

broken only by the stifled sobs OF
Lucy and Carolyn, while the heavy
tramp Of General Blazes died away in
his slamming of the outer door.
Harry shook his head doubtfully,
as the Count continued to assure him
in dumb show that he could clear
things up for him.
Come, daughter" Mr.. Medders
said, thee must quiet thyself. Then
We will go home"
Aren't you going to give me q
chance to explain?" Harry asked.
"Explainl" Carolyn blazed forth,
looking up at them with her eyes red
and her cheeks stained with tears.
Explain! How can you explain? Oh,

How could they be any worse for
you!" Carolyn demanded. "Oh, men

own brother. I-I-even doubt
Pigeon, now"
The Count smiled grimly at Harry
and shrugged his shoulders. Harry
looked at him in mute appeal, as
though asking him to come to the
front now with his plan of squaring
things. But the Count was man of
experience. For all his fippancy and
gaiety, he was man of experience
enough to know that when you are
going to defend anything or any po-
sition which is being attacked you are
better off If you wait until the attack
ing party has exhausted its ammuni-
tion and arguments.
So he bided his time, while Carolyn
gradually relieved her mind by means
OF tears and recriminations, and while
Lucy who was completely mystifled,
but who felt that something was tre-
mendously wrong, slowly arrived at
state Of calm on the haven of her IA
TIERS shoulder.
Shrewd old Amos Medders, being
by birth and training a patient man,
said nothing beyond a few soothing
words to Lucy. He had concluded to
end their visit and take her home,
yet he was fair man and he would
give Harry chance to come from
under the cloud, If he could.
We'll, Carolyn" Harry said at last,
II you have finished all you have to
say, we will get at the real truth of
the matter. Count Won Fitz. think,

The Count Strengthened his shoul-
ders and took a deep breath. He
twisted his mustache thoughtfully,
and then fecked an imaginary piece
OF dust from his lapel.

Assassination BY Mall.

The absence of the slightest clue to
the sender of the bomo which was in
tended to kill Judge Rosalsky, and the
failure OF the police after weeks Of III
vestigation, TO trace the criminal who
caused the death of Grace Walker
under conditions OF resemblance, invest
these sensational crimes with features
of unusual mystery.
1.-THE same hand fashioned the two
instruments of death, there is at large
an assassin who is all the more dan
gerous to society because to exception
al cunning he joins inventive powers
and technical knowledge Of the action
of explosives.
A serious aspect Of the. case is the
demonstrated ability of a plotter work
ing from safe ambush to attack his
victim in the privacy of the home. Is
the perverted ingenuity of the male
factor superior TO the safeguards So
ciety has established for its protection
against the criminal? A question
prompted by the Moliueux case and
by the not iufrequent instances OF
poisoned candy or fruit sent through
the mails is brought up again with adj
ded emphasis by the current eases Of
secret attack through the use of the
mails or messenger service to strike the
fatal blow.

round of duties may deliver along with

receiver to atoms is an alarming thing.
How that method Of long-range as
sasaination can be frustrated, if at all

studied for society's better protection.

W. a,,,.nder for Auditor Of state

q The friends of Mr.. William tontaine
Alexander have been for some time
!, Urging him to announce his candidacy
afer the Democratic nomination for the
4 Office of State Auditor.
4 A multiplicity of business interests
Y have made it imperalively necessary
for him to see his way clear to assume
the office, should it be the pleasure OF
the Democracy OF West Virginia in
Convention assembled, TO bestew the
ionor on worthy son Of old jefferson.
He has, however, finally decided to
announce his candidacy, subject to the
decision OF the Democratic party, for
he success Of which, he has, since at
staining manhood worked in season
@and out of season.
3 Surely it 10 time that the Gibraltar
sof Democracy had recognition at the
hands of the party. Jefferson has had
4 no important office since the creation
of the State, and her claims will be
q readily conceded by all fairminded
#party men.
j Apart from that, in the persen OF W..
+. Alexander, the man and the Office
would have indeed met, for no one
could be more peculiarly well qualified
for the position Of State Auditor than
he.
Fontaine Alexander was not born
with q silver spoon in his mouth. A
com mon school course aud the reading
OF law while clerking for Forrest w.
Brown were his educational equipment
,r the battle of life. Elected County
Jerk when barely of age, he filled the
,ffice so acceptably as to be reelected
for second term without opposition,
and could doubtless have continued in
that office had he not decided to enter
the Insurance field, where he has at
sained eminent success-an experience
Of the greatest possible value to State
Auditor who is also ex cfficio Commits
!, sioner of Insurance. His expert know
] ledge of land values has resulted In
/, Mr.. Aiexander's appointment 10 the
Beard of Equalization, and as Vice
President of one Of our most flourish
ing banks lie has proved himself an
able financier.
Successful in his own business affairs
trusted in the charge of those of others,
he would make an ideal Auditor Of
State of West Virginia. Its citizens
i will be entitled to congratulation
should he receive the nomination. -
