crept forward, holding himself up with

his gun held steadily on that black,
shapeless object lying on the sand.
Then the revolver hand began to

Keith lying fiat, his face in the crook

his lips, as if, as he pitched forward,
he knew that, after he had been shot
to death, he had gotten his man. The
riderless horses gazed at the two fig
ures, and drifted away, slowly, fear
fully, still held in mute subsection to
their dead masters by dangling reins.

Six Years Building a Clock

From the Scientific American.
 Twenty thousand minute pieces of wood entered into the construction of an elab- ornamented Notre Dame cath edral clock made by James Galway of Skowhegan, Me. This clock, which Is finely carved stands seven feet and ten inches in height and took MT. Galway six long years to complete.
 In the upper story six folding doors open every ten minutes and the apostles ap- pear marching in time to an air played by large music box that is governed by the clock, each one lowing before the Saviour as they pass, except the fourth one (Which represents Peter), who turns his back upon the Saviour and the devil comes out of the top of the clock and blows a trumpet in honor of Peter.
 The second story is in the form of a mansion with double doors in front, which also open every ten minutes. Lazarus appears at the rich mans door and on bonded knees asks for charity, the dogs licking his sores and the rich man stands in the door swinging his arm as if he were throwing crumbs from his table, All these movable figures are run by ma chinery connected with a time movement so as to work on the minute. The,bottom story is very elaboratyly designed foun- dation of fine iniaid work.

Bathing Suit Her Garb in Street Fight

IoIn lN0 NEW l lolh W olius
 Bathing suits as a means of adornment or as an excuse for not going into the water have long held a legitimate and logical place in womans wardrobe, As an appropriate garb for doing housework, however they offer something on orig inal lines and something that upset, for a few moments, the decorum of the Yorkville court Tuesday morning.
 Before Magistrate O'Connor was ar raigned two women, one arrayed in a long black coat and the other in a regular bathing suit They had been taken from their retreat in East Seventy eighth street by an officer of the law charged with having created disturbance on dry land. While appearing before the mag tstrate they stood behind door protected from the gaze of the non-summery court attendants. The lady of the swim ming togs gave her name as Mary Finn. and, pointing to the cloak-elad lady, said she lived with her sister at 26 East Sev enty-eighth street. The cloaked lady said at first she was Margaret Finn, but switched to Margaret Monroe, although sticking to the relationship. Margaret also said later she Is a teacher in the Cathedral school.

ull going down of the hopes of a man who once held the world in a swing, as easily as l could picture the physical de- cay of old La Cache" perhaps men would rein up in the career of life and turn aside to the quieter ways of living and be satisfied.
 Tn those days Blennerhassetts life was haunted by the memory Of a betrayed tf'ist, for his eyes were holden when hs entered tte reasonable conspiracy Of Aaron Burr.
 When after trial in the malarious re- gions of Mississippi he realized he was no match for a successful wrestler, ne lost hone, he began to court those excesses that bring momentary forgetfulness, ne fell into excesses that were unreeogniza- ble, even in that sparsely settled section, where many things were overlooked for the sake of companionship. On account of isolation, each plantation relied much on the ether for social life Neighbors be- gan to look askant when old La Cache was mentioned.
 Many tales are told, even now, of the wild debauchery in which Blennerhassett and his wife indulged in those days. In- vited guests came from New Orleans guests who in other days the aristocratic pair would have turned away in disgust, yet we find them in close camaraderie now. Wine flowed freely as the clear waters or the nttle brook that eneircled La Cache" One day of revelry sue ceeded another with astonishing rapidi- ty. The upper floor was converted into a dance hall
 He later sold everything he possessed, and we find him seeking employment in Montreal Canada, but the Nemesis is ever beside him. He begins to long for a sight of ''Merrie old Engand;' it be- comes a part of his life; he longs for it until at last he finds his way back to the Isle of Guernsey There in the twl- light of years he lives until the summons is heard and now he is sleeping under the branches of an old yew tree, but the memory of those days spent in the wilds of Mississippi will be retold to zach generation by those whose lives are spent on the old delta plantatfons

Plenty of Imprudence

From Youths Companion
 A farmer driving along country road was thus rudey .accosted by a young man whom he met:
 Hello Reuben, Give me lift to Hightstown will you? I might as well ride with you as walk"
 So the young man climbed up and be- guiled the way with lively chatter. After a few miles had been travelled he said:
 Ut quite a distance to Hightstown, isn't 1t? It's a good thing for me that I met you.''
 'It is quite distance answered the farmer.
 After a few more miles the young man asked; Say, farmer. how far is 1t to Hightstown, anyway?'
 We'll replied the farmer. ''keepn' right on the way we're goin' now, I sh'd say 'twould be about 24000 miles or so; but if you wanted to git out and walk back, 1t wouldn't be very mach more than 10 miles

 "Why this bathing suit?" asked the magistrate of Mary, fixing his eyes on his desk.
 'I was doing some housework, she answered.
 "How did you get in the street with that style of suit on?''
 'I must have flown there."

Whitman Will Force SChiff To Give Up
 All Brandt'S Letters
Especial from United Press)


 New York, Feb. 17-Wfth his grand jury investigation into the charge that Foulke E. Brandt, who was railroad ed" as the result of a conspiracy par ticipated in by police officials, attor> neys and representatives of his former employer. Mortimer L. Schiff, post poned until Monday, District Attor. ney Whitman today, prepared to ters taken from Brandt's room after his arrest.
 Howard S. Cans, attorney for schiff today, confirmed the report that he is willing to surrender these letters bearing on the ease but that the fourth, held by schiff, will not be given up.
 District Attorney Whitman was very angry, today, over this development He set the machinery of his office letter, which, it is admitted, is a rough draft of a letter that was af- terward mailed. Whitman declared if it was not turned over to him before next week, someone would suffer.
 Whitman made it very plain in his communication with Cans that he will guard against any scandal involving a woman entering into the investiga- tion but also that he intends to find out why a private detective employed by Schiff was permitted to ransack Brandt's effects whilefhe was in pris- on and carry off letters that should have been held by the police
 The fact that Cans wrote an official record to police Commissioner Bfns- ham. commanding the police who was freely commented on, today in the light of the admission, by the de- tectives who prepared it that 1t was lie from start to finish. District At
