Their failure to receive a response to
their knocks made at the front door

come suspicious.
Miss Hopkins, who was first to see her
brothers body on entering the house, be-
came hysterical and excited, and her
screams attracted the attention of Henry
NJ. Miller. occupant of the adjoining
house. Mr.. Miller called the police and

when much younger. he had gone to
S. with his grandfather to see the
soldiers. He remembered the railroad.
1t was imperative that he should
reach it as far in advance of his pur

carry him.
For miles he ran with the fectness
of a scared thing, guided by the crude
signboards that pointed the way and
told the distance to S.
Half dazed. gasping for breath and
ready to drop in his tracks, he came at
last to the open valley. Far ahead and
below were the lights of town. Tor
tured by the vast oppressiyeness Of
the solitude which lay behind him,
peopled by thousand ghosts whose
persistent footsteps had haunted him

some time before he could grasp the

the lower end of the town. The subtle

nature within the past forty-eight
hours forbade an incautious approach
to the grounds. He gave the circus

The production Of gasoline from
and the process is evidently successful
when applied to most natural gas from
oil wells. An interesting development
has been the extraction of oils of low
boiling point from wells by attaching
vacuum pump to the well casing
and causing the oil to distill out with
the gas 1t is condensed again at the

thus obtained is, of course, heavier
and more valuable for general use
than the lighter products.
Marked Increase in Imports.
Since oils were put on the free list
imports of crude oil and certain prod

United States trade especially crude
oil from Mexico imported into Texas
and Louisiana ports In 1871 the
Bureau of Statistics for the first time
chronicled the importation of gasoline,
1,639.12J gallons being imported prin-
cipally from the Dutch East Indies
In 1909 the importation of other oils

amounted to 3,S3l,295 gallons in the
