we waited with due obedience till the
inspectors bullet head again broke the
horizon as he struggled back to his po-
sition on the coping of the wall.
He seemed in a very pleasant tenn.
per when he Joined us; but he said
nothing Of his discoveries, and had
grown too wise to inquire. When we
reached the entrance hall he asked for
Jackson, the valet, and in a couple Of
minutes the man appeared. He was a
tall, hatchet-faced fellow, very neatly
dressed in black. He made a little
bow, and then stood watching us in a
most respectful attitude.
"A queer business this, jackson"
said Addington Peace.

"And what is your opinion on it?"
ITO be frank, sir, thought at first
that Mr.. Ford had run away; but now
I don't know what to make of It,"
"And why should he run away"
II have no idea, sir; but he seemed
to me rather strange In his manner

''Have you been with him long?"

tinued; "in the meanwhile I will leave
my assistant with you."
We sat and smoked in the secre-
tary's room. He was not much Of a
talker, consuming cigarette after Gig
arctic in silence. The winter dusk had
already fallen when the inspector
joined us, and we retired to our rooms
to prepare for dinner. I tried word
with Peace upon the staircase, but he
shook his head and walked on

Inc meal dragged itself to an end
somehow, and We left Ransom with a
second decanter of port before him.
Peace slipped away again, and I con-
soled myself with book in the IL
brary until half-past ten, when walked
off 10 bed. A servant was switching
off the light in the hall when l mount
ed the great staircase.
My room was in the old wing at the
further side Of the picture gallery, and
had some difficulty in steering my
way through the dark corridors. The
mystery that hung over the house had
shaken my nerves, and remember

not generally light sleeper, but that
night, even while snored, my nerves
were active. Some one had tapped at
my door-that was my impression.
I listened with the uncertain fear
that comes to the newly walked. Then
heard 1t again-on the wall near my
head this time. A board creaked.
Some one was cropping his way down
the dark corridor without. Presently
he stopped, and faint line of illu-
mination sprang out under my door. 1t

Assurance came with the streak of

of the corridor.
Presently he began to move forward.
The picture gallery and the body Of

old walls. The man walked slowly,
throwing the light to right and left.
His attitude was of nervous expecta-

The inspector walked UP to the wall,
moving parallel to the tracks in the
snow. With sudden spring he
climbed to the top and seated himself
while he stared about him. Then on
his hands and knees he began to crawl
forward along the coping. 1t was a
quaint spectacle, but the extraordinary
care and vigilance of the little man
took the farce out of it.
Presently he stopped and looked
down at us.
"Please stay where you are" he
said, and disappeared on the further
side.

JUDGE DEFENDS HIS
LIFE BY USE OF CANE

GLOBE. Ariz, July l0.-A tragedy
was narrowly averted in front OF
the Richelieu restaurant Saturday
morning when Hinson Thomas, JUS
tice of the Peace, was attacked by
Bill Mallory, it is claimed on &C
count OF a court decision rendered
by the judge. The county official
was at a disadvantage when some
passerby overpowered Mallory, who
was promptly arrested.
Judge Thomas was just preparing
to leave the Richelieu when Mallory
entered. Several weeks ago the lat
ter was placed under $1,000 cash
peace bond by an edict of Judge
Thomas.
The judge was just taking his hat
and cane from the hook when Nal
lory entered and charged the judge
with having perjured himself. Judge
Thomas quietly passed over the re-
mark and attempted to reassure
Mallory but the latter lost his head
and cursed the judge. No sooner
had the oath passed his lips than the
stout cane carried by the Judge de
scended on the head of the man who
had been punished in court.
The blow was struck with such
force that the cane snapped in the
middle. The judge then used one
end. In the scuffle the two men
got to the door and Mallory Crap
pied with the judge. The latter was
practically helpless without the sup
port of his cane and he lost his
balance, when the two went through
the door. In falling. Judge Thomas
hit the steps and his ribs on one
side were painfully wrenched
Mallory was about to attack the
judge again when he was interfered
with. 1t was we'll for the bigger
man that he was stopped, for when
Judge Thomas found himself at a
disadvantage and subject TO the
physical abuse OF his enemy, he
drew his six-shooter and lay on
his side waiting. He kept his head,
however, and when he saw that Nal
lory was overpowered he ordered
him arrested.

PIONEER HEARS AND
HEEDS CALL OF DEATH
From Thursdays pany.)

The summons came yesterday 10
Peter Reed, and like many other
Hassayampers, he passed over the
Great Divide to join the scores who
preceded him of the era of the COS.
The deceased succumbed to par
alysis, which affected the left side
of his body, after many years of
illness. Old age crept upon him,
and life in early days that was
attended with activity gave way
under the physical condition of re-
cent years, with that helplessness
that was often mentioned in pathetic
tones by the deceased.
Pete Reed was a splendid citizen
in pioneer days, kind hearted and
always to the front in many laud-
able public undertakings. He had
resided in this county for over forty
three years, and came from Ken
lucky, where he was born II years
ago. Not a known relative survives.
He will be buried today from Ruff
ner's chapel.
