tI,en satisfied himself that the inspect u
lad told the truth about having no more
arms in his possession. While he was
thus engaged, the officer asked:
why did you wait for me- Harvard" >"
Because l wished 10 see you-and u
say something TO you"
How did you know l was there?'
II saw you go in.
Then you must also have seen your

Then you might give me lift, Har-
ward. I'm not much on the climb. Be

exhibition of your strength
Without replying, the Night Wind
swung the officer around, grasped him
beneath the arms, lifted him as il ne
had been a child, and, with a swing.
tossed him bodily over the top of the
wall.
'Lcok out how you land" the Night
Wind remarked as he did it: then he
followed after. leaping lightly over the
berrier-to find that the inspector was

several postal cards. One he addressed
to the commissioner; the others were
sent to lesser officers of the department.
The message was this:
The Night Winds compliments. Ask
Inspector Blank, of the Detective Bu-
reau, concerning what happened to him
last night In Central Park, opposite the
residence of Mr.. Chester.
The Night Wind did not break any
Of the Inspectors bones, but he did
that which went far toward breaking
his spirit and his pride and which, in
cidentally, made as bitter an enemy Of
him as Rushton was already.
Incidentally also, although quite
logically, 1t would seem, the Night
Winds act turned some Of the In
spector's wrath upon Katharine Max
well; and quite possibly there was
The Washington times., 1913-12-05

something Of telepathy in the resent
ment he felt so suddenly and mex
plicably toward her.
The fact Of meeting and talking with
the Night Wind: the assurance Of the
mans phenomenal strength. Of muscle:
his remarkable physique: his engaging
personality, all reminded the inspector
The Washington times., 1913-12-05

in some extrinsic way that he ana
Katharine Maxwell were known tt
each other. and he was convinced tina,
it was quite possible that the, woman

A COLD FLOODED DUEL.

Instant Death Was Assured For One
of the Contestants.
An extraordinary duel. which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar
rived at not by swords or pistols, but
by means of deadly poison.
The men-who. 1t is hardly necessary
to say, had fallen out over lady-had
left the arrangement Of details to their
seconds, and Until they faced each 9TH
er they did not know BY what method
they were to settle their differences.
One of the seconds was doctor, and
he had made up for the occasion four
black pellets, all identical in size and
shape.
ain one of these he said, II have
placed sufficient quantity of prussic
acid to cause the almost instantaneous
death of any one who swallows it. We
will decide by the toss of II coin which
Of you is to have first choice, and you
will alternately draw and swallow a
pill until the poison shows its effects" "
Two of the pellets were then taken
as the toss had decided but without
effect In either case.
This time" said the doctor. speak
ing of the two pellets remaining, you
must both swallow the pill at the same
instant"
The choice was again made, and in
few seconds one OF the men lay dead

The Dead Watch licked.

A strong box containing family rec
ords and heirlooms was opened few
days ago to examine an old manu-.
script. The box had not been disturbed
for several years. and the women who
had taken It into private room were
surprised when they removed an OLD
fashioned open face watch from fits
resting place to hear 1t tick loudly,
This to them was evidence that the box
had been tempered with. But every.
thing was found intact and in keeping
with the memorandum Of contents. and
they were much perplexed because OF
the ticking watch. which ceased its &C.
tivity before the box was returned to
fits place. A matchmaker who was con.
suited said that such 'momentary life
in dead" tmepieces when disturbed
was not unusuai.-New York Tribune.
