entertained sentiments only of the

particularly insistent for definite in

to the extreme of threatening to come

Since late Tuesday night, Rudolph

various other ways their presentment
was not dissimilar to hospital ward.
The one jarring note was Barnicle,
whose cadaverousness was become so
accentuated that he might have per-

nurse was out taking a much needed
airing. Such portions of his bandaged
features as were visible were discol-
ored, and a cloth saturated with some
soothing lotion hid his swollen eyes.
All the hideous details Of the cpl
sode in the Silent House remained in
his memory like the aftermath of q
terrifying nightmare. How, late at
night, his senses had returned to him /;
how he had contrived to drag his bat

While Tom had a feeling that this
information, if properly understood,
would clear up much that was secret
and obscure respecting Willard and
his conduct, still it did not enlighten
him in any way. Indeed, it was all the

MAKES A RULING.
Special Assessment Made by City Of
Mitchell Upheld.

Mitchell.-In circuit court Judge
Frank b. Smith rendered a decision
in a case which will settle, as far as
the circuit courts are concerned, the
right to levy a special assessment ard
charge the same up to the property,
and it is a question which has arisen
in many cities and towns of the state
over the same proposition. The city
made several special assessments
against the property of William Nc
Grath for the building Of a cement
sidewalk, installing water and sever
mains, which he declined to pay on
the ground that his home as a home
stead was exempt from the leyying of
special assessments. He brought suit
against the city to have the special
assessment set aside. The court rem
dered a decision holding that the spe-
cial assessments as levied by a city
for such improvements are valid.
