dull weight overturning the ponderous chair.
 The murderer, at the climax, leaped to his feet in the clutch of fear.
 He raised his hands to his forehead and fell in cold swoon across the bed.
 Day was breaking when he recov- cred. He gazed about him, saw the tumbled chair and the victims dis torted body strapped within its seat But he was immediately in possession of himself.
 He unstrapped the body tossed ie with an unfeigned indifference across the bed, put the leather thongs in his pocket, tucked the lamp under his arm; and having put the box of strychnine in more conspicuous place, quietly left the chamber.
 He caught the train for Birmingham and arrived in the afternoon. As he had predicted, the corcner's jury pronounced Steel suicide.
 
 He married the girl, moved wssts and, in course of tin1s, died. No stories came of his bitter re- morse, of his years of silent suffering, of his sleepless nights, when, with rain on the roof, he saw again tho dying gaze of Steel, and plainly heard that unspoken malediction. No stories came of his inability to forget, to shake from his overburdened mind the horrors of that fatal night, his miser- able failure to make glad again the heart of the girl, or cause her in joy- ous mood to burst into song. . No stories came! But is it strange that the lawyer wonders whether his own deductions bear the stamp of truth?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-06

to enter, he hummed a bit of the light opera which some hours ago had pleased him.
 No sooner had the foot of Steel touched the sill of his chamber, than Hogue arose, walked into the room, and in the darkness stood with drawn revolver near the spot on which the victim would certainly turn the switch to flood the room with light
 Steel entered and stood moment in the doorway. Had Hogue desired an easy mark, he had it then. For the broad expanse of short bosom in the dim reflection of the lobby light, stood plainly forth. But for only a moment; for Steel, shrugging his shoulders as if dismissing troublous apprehension, strode boldly forth. He removed his opera hat, threw his over coat across the bed, and walked to the switch.
 Immediately following the twist of his fingers, lights flashed, and Steel, confronted by Hogue with his pistol drawn, fell against the wall, and, as if to ward off a blow, he lifted his hands before his face.
 Men live in restrospection life time in a moment. Instantly in the presence of certain death, the fellows mind ran nimbly back through all the years. He transplanted himself from Louisville to Birmingham, met the girl in all her youthful beauty, played under the strings of her heart until he broke the instrument and threw it bereft of melody as if worthy debris for the dealer in junk! In a trice, he saw his nasty departure, his eventual arrival in New York. He even saw himself forget the entire story. He remembered the very aft ernoon on which he had thrown away his fear, and began a journey back to Kentucky!
 And now he stood in front of grim Nemesis, and he knew that his hour had chimed!
 Well. Hogue," he finally said-for it is not recorded that all scoundrels have cowardly hearts-"what do you intend to do? Why don't you shoot?'
 q do not intend to shoot" said Hogue.
 If the questioning expression which appeared on the face of Steel was conjured by hope, there was good reason for it's instant disappearance, for there was no answering expression on the face of Hogue.
 "No," said the latter, i've are go- ing to talk these matters over; but you must do as direct"
 "There is scarcely any other alter native," Steel relied with bit of sacrcasm, ''for it is evident that you do not intend to give the slightest chance for life.'
 The suggestion was lost on Hogue. For men whose purposes are formed through years of deliberation do not

 Sometimes a horse. after an illnsss. turns a different color. A lady in France who possessed a splendid sorrel horse. found, on it's recovery from typhoid fever, that its sparse hair grew an in- tense black. A young black horse trained for the race course was recently taken i'll, put out to pasture and doctorsd for some time.. It ultimately recovered and was as well as ever, but it's shining black coat had become an unusually sparkling red A young lady in America at 10 possessed a chestnut horse. went away to a boarding school, and on her return found that the color of her horse was changing. as she called tt, like regular checker board,' with no definite illness to account for it.
 veterinary surgeons give all sorts of explanations for the changes of color cb- served in the hair of the horse. One, at the Pasteur institute in Paris. has an- nounced his opinion that the coloring matter is affected by little changes in some minute and mysterious organs in the abdomen. answering to the suprar- enal capsules. When these are affected the horse undergoes some devslopmental change. the nature of which Is not yet precisely understood

be intense. Your head will revolve- and you will be in fear lest it fly apart and in thousand directions.
 And then you will lose conscious ness. But your body will not be at rest, for as locomotive plunges un- der steam without knowledge of its course, your house of clay will plunge against the straps without knowledge rof it's action.
 And I will sit here smiling, very coolly smiling. will light a cigarette, and behold a spectacle more thrilling than that which entertained you to- night, and far more pleasing. When your head falls forward and your eyes make strenuous efforts to leap from their sockets, perhaps will laugh.
 And when all is done? Why, will undo the straps, throw your lifeless clay across the bed, leave the box of strychnine on the dresser and quietly depart. Tomorrow coroner will in spect the remains, and his jury will say, 'Suicide!'
 q will then return to Birmingham and spend the remainder of my years in an effort to make amends for the crime which you committed"
 AS Hogue began the fearful mono loque, Steel inspected him from heac to foot with contemptible smirh which, despite the gag which trans formed his face into rumpled seg. ment of unnatural lines, was plainly discernible. But as the story pro. gressed and step by step the diaboli- cal scheme was unfolded, the expres. sion disappeared. To take it's place one depicting the horror of his sou arose. Blood flowed from his cheeks and lips, and peculiar pallor took possession. A cold precipitation broke about his forehead. He squirmed un. easily in his seat, and but for the i'm. l pediment twisted about his mouth would have cried aloud, long, weird cry which would have startled the other guests out of dreams of peace and thrust them instantly into the agony of mental terror.
 Hogue perceived the expression and smiled. But nothing touched his heart Instead, he arose, stepped nimbly to the dresser and lighted his lamp. With. out glance in the direction of the mar who was already dying, he opened the little box containing the poison. Lift. ing it gently he tilted small quantity of the potent drug into tin cup in which previously he had poured enough water to cover the bottom. His next move was to hold the cup above the lamp. As. the heat eventually caused the rising of bubbles, with a pencil he calmly stirred the unholy brew.
 And then the moment came when the solution was complete. The man, who in his deliberate preparations had become so interested that he had for gotten the victim who was squirming in the cold clasp of fear behind him, whistled in satisfaction. He placed the Icup on the dresser, blew out the light,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-06

and drawing a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the drops of water which had splashed on his fingers.
 "Now, Steel" he said as he turned to face the sufferer, "the time has come. will be compelled to remove the gag. Nothing beneath the heavens can prevent your death tonight. would caution you, therefore, to die like man, and not like the dog which fiendishly tears the flesh of rabbits mad dies a miserable coward"
 He paused a moment, and then al- most apologetically added: "And cannot refrain from thinking of how much better it would have been for her and for you-and for me had there never been babe to plant it's chubby fist against your mothers cheekp
 Hogue quickly removed the gag, and at the same time clasped his fingers about the victims throat. Steel strug- gled, and would have cried aloud Mumbled words of entreaty, pitiable and smothered plea for mercy escaped in disjointed phrases before the fin gers about his throat almost strangled him. Hogue might have shown mercy but at that very moment he was think ing of the woman who for three years had suffered-deserted of her friends summed of everybody, despised o1 herself for her moments weakness the woman whom he was planning tc rescue from death which, inch by inch, but for the fulfillment of his dream, would be certain.
 And his fingers did not relax. Steel was practically unconscious when the liquid was poured down his throat, but as soon as the task was completed, and breath again surged through his lungs, he revived.
 For an instant he gazed steadfastly into the eyes of Hogue. That gaze was mute maledictiop. He then dropped his head on his breast and pa- tiently awaited the beckoning finger of the dark angel.
 The agony of death was terrible, Hogue sat unmoved even when the victims body was repeatedly lifted by power not its own from the bottom of the chair and tossed against the re- straining straps; even when pale-red drops of blood forced themselves through the pores beneath the ears; even when the eyes swelled and bulged and twisted themselves practi- cally out of sockets.
 But he did not smile as he had stated. He was not entertained. Horror had almost stopped the beating of his heart. Coldly through it's channels his blood was trickling. Coldly broke the organizations from every pore of his body. He gazed as one, about to die himself. He had not thought how hor- rible would be his own punishment!
 And the end came.
 With one final convulsion, more ter rible with distorted features than any which had preceded, Steel lungsd for ward dead-at the same time with his

permit them to be changed in mo- ment.
 "You will turn that switch again." Hogue directed, land then seat your self in the chair beyond the bed. If you hesitate, will shoot you as if you were dog"
 Had Steel known the fate in store for him, he would have hesitated, for death by pistol wound, coming quick and in trice wiping out all the re- grets of yesterday and tomorrow's fears, is by comparison, no death, indeed.
 But in the darkness, he walked across the room, and as he seated himself, he hummed again the bit of opera which was clinging to his mind. Without moments hesitancy, he obeyed the direction to clasp his own feet to the chair. This completed, he had the temerity to inquire as to what next he would be expected to do. Obey ing another instruction, he clasped his left hand to the arm of his chair. Hogue then strapped the right. He next drew leather throng about the shoulders of the victim, and stepping back, turned on the light. Steel bound, hand and foot, followed his every moment with his eyes. But he said nothing.
 'Now, Steel" Hogue began, "you have come to the final chapter. You recall my remark on the evening gave her up-that if you wronged her, would follow you to the end of the world and take your life? ?"
 Steel answered nothing. Hogue con l tinued:
 T must admit that am surprised at your courage. But the time will come when that fearless mantle will l fall from your shoulders and in fear, you would yield to a desire to cry aloud. For that reason, must fit this gag between you teeth" Having accomplished his purpose, he seated himseln, and continued: "The girl is well-that is, save in spirit. I have always intended to marry her, but have been determined first to see you suffer as you made her suffer; and see your suffering end in death.
 Therefore, I prepared this recep- tion in your honor. As you sit there, I will over the chimney of that lamp, heat water for the fatal draught. ] will then remove the gag, forcibly thrust back your head and with fin gers about your throat, pour the drug of death down your mouth. You will swallow, and shudder first from the bitterness of the taste, for strychnine is meaner than quinine or the reinad water of the Hindus. Then you will suffer thousand deaths in anticipa- tion of the first effects of the poison In five minutes, titan's fingers will grasp your vitals and seem to tear them from their cavities. Your heart will beat tumultuously, and in the fearful rapidity of pumping blood to absord the poison, your agony will
