the skull crushed and the torso a
mass OF bruises. the body Of a boy

found to-day on the golf links Of the
Whitemarsh Valley Country. Club

The murder is one Of the most dia-
bolical that has come to the notice
of the Philadelphia police. From the
condition of the body and the evil
dence given by the trampled turf II
was evident that the boy had put up
brave fight before being beaten
into Inconsistencies. While his vic

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene of the story is laid in
the Nanderlip Hotel, New York
city. The Princess Maria Theresa
If Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened In
ner suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
Town the hall. He crashes against

Enters. She sees he is a tall good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
MS left He begs the Princess to
aide him. She, moved by some in
tescribable impulse decides that
she will. She directs him to an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
Warren Jarvis, Of Kentucky, comes
out of his hiding place. and the
Princess, for the first time. notices

pathy and showers him with ques-
lions as to what has occurred. Jar

SITS, but encountered one of them
in the hotel, which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
of ghosts?" Jarvis laughs, but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance. and creates him
her ''vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, negro. The servant is in
structed to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins to ques-
tion the Princess about herself.

As he did so his eyes fell on the broken

voice rang out suddenly like a pistol

turn of the corridor resolving to keep
a close eye on the apartment until it
was vacated In this walk he again
passed the trunk, but II suggested
nothing An escape in a trunk has
become so common in fact and in fic-
tom that no up-to-date detective be-
lieves any one would try It again. So
il is still one Of the best means, just
as, from the other angle, it is a fact
that occasionally in spite Of comic
artists and the like, some one still buys

bumps and bruises and swear words,

FASTING labels on trunks, like press
ing the elevator button in the average
office building, is more an act In evil
dence of good faith than in expecta-
ton of results. Having up TO this time
travelled only with a trunk and never
in one, Warren Jarvis did not realize
this until fairly embarked on his rough
passage from the Hotel Vanderbilt to
the promenade deck suite on the Lusi-
tania.
For days afterward the memory Of
that two-miIe voyage rode him like a
nightmare. So did the divers aches,
wrenches and bruises that he acquired
by the way. And. finally, when the
journey was over and he could have
time TO decide whether he was one
large pain or had been broken up into
several thousand small agonies, the
trunk was deposited in the parlor Of
