ED ANDHENRY BARRETT BOUND
FOR JOLIET PEN

i; Ed Barrett, Hearst's principal slug
ger during the newspaper strike, is
going to the Joliet penitentiary. He
and his brother, Henry Barrett, were
taken to the county Jail last night
after it was announced that the State
Supreme Court had upheld their con-
viction for the Staying of Henry Mas
terSon.
=, Cook county still has a few debts
to settle with Ed Barrett. The murder
of Frank Witt, street car conductor,
is still chalked upon the records
against Ed and his brother Charley,
and Arthur Friedman.
Witt was shot down in his street
car during the newspaper strike two
years ago. But three Hearst strike
breakers have never been brought to
trial on that charge.
The Witt case is probably closed
now. And it is probable that had not
the killing of Masterson occurred Ed
would be still Hearst employe like
his brother Charley.
But during a saloon fight last April
Barrett and his younger brother,
Henry, killed Masterson. The News
paper Publishers Association had
nothing to do with that case. There
was no chance of any unpleasant
truths coming out during the trial.
So Ed Barrett was let fight the case
the best way he knew how.
For killing Masterson they receiv-
ed sentences of from one to four
teen years.

Those who live inland, and, in fact,

room for it between the walls of the

CHAPTER WI.


Nv eNN FNHPNe's NDolHs
Since late Tuesday night, Rudolph
Van Vechten's apartments in the Ken
more had rocked with iodoform, and in
various other ways their presentment
was not dissimilar to a hospital ward.
The one Earring note was Barnicle.
whose righteousness was become so
accumulated that he might have per
sonified Death-or, at least, the I'M
dertaker-waiting only until doctor
and nurse were through, to perform
his own peculiar and melancholy Of
fees. Barnicle never would have been
tolerated about a hospital
Early Thursday morning Van Vech-
ten had insisted to such good purpose
that he was able to rise, don his
clothes and be shaved that at eight
O'Clock he was reclining upon the dav-
export in his livingroom, and the
nurse was out taking a much needed
airing. Such portions of his bandaged
features as were visible were discol.
ored, and 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 a
terrifying nightmare. How, late at
night, his senses had returned to him;
how he had contrived to drag his bat
tered body down the stairs, fainting
more than once with pain and weak
ness how he had been found upon
the walk by passing policeman. who,
recognizing him, was persuaded to
keep his mouth shut and convey him
TO his rooms-each revolving particu.
lar stuck persistently in his mind.
BY which It might be inferred that
not the least of his present suffering
might be ascribed to nervous shock.
At the hour mentioned, he was
sleeping fitfully after a restless night.
He frequently started broad awake,
when memory invaded his slumbers.
During the period since Tuesday
Barnicle had continued in a state OF
| perturbation; for he had been strictly
charged to inform all callers that his
! employer was not in town, and there
| had been numerous urgent telephone
calls for the young man. The bells we're
now muffled, and Barnicle was required
to lend the instrument a constant at.
tentive ear, since only a faint buzz
announced a signal.
The young mans uncle, Mr.. Theo
dore Van Vechten-for whom Barnicle
entertained sentiments only of the
highest esteem and respect-had been
particularly insistent for definite in
formation concerning his nephew, even
to the extreme of threatening to come
up and wiring Barnicle's neck; which
had further depressing effect upon
the excellent Wallets spirits.

I the name of Flint, seemed to know un-
cannily that Barncle was lying.
Mr. Rudolph had spared no pains to
/ keep his damaged condition from the
| eyes OF the world.
a light tap upon the outer door
broke sharply in upon Barnicle's trou-
I blod reflections. lie cooked an ear in
that direction, and glanced uneasily at
| the sleeper, who had not stirred. The
| tap was repeated.
| Barnicle was puzzled he knew II
was no hotel employees announcement
with all of which he had reason to
| be familiar-and setting aside this
/ explanation, there remained only one
other way by which to account for the
tapping somebody had slipped
through the office. with its guardian
! Gordon of clerks, porters and bell.hops,
and come directly to Van Vechtens
rooms. Such proceeding bore sin
lister import to Barnicles mind.
| For Il third time the tap sounded.
/ And then Barnicle stole into the recep-
| tion-hall. with the determination of
sending the presumptuous caller about
| his business. With this purpose in
mind, he did not bother to close the
livingroom door behind him. and
opened the outer door barely an inch
or two-at first.
Next instant out of sheer amazement
he pulled it wide open.
He was confronted by the vision OF
q beautiful. stylishly gowned young
lady. That she really was a lady in
every sense of the word, Barnicle could
not for an instant doubt. No one could
! have doubted.
Excepting on the very rare occasions
when his employer entertained a few
choice friends in his rooms. ladies
were not in the habit of visiting them;
so 1t is no wonder that he was dunn
| founded. With one eye eXpectant for
the young lady's card, and the other
taking stock of her loneliness, he be-
/ gan to assure her that Mr.. Van Vech-
ten was out OF the city.
The tone in which she interrupted.
/ the flash of her eyes that accompanied
the words made his mouth close like
| trap.
Il know that Mr.. Van Vechten is
!
know that he is i'll. l mean to see
him"
There was no doubling this purpose.
J either though Barnicle essayed final
prOtest--a faint-hearted one, for he
remembered too late the open inner
door. and of course this mad young
lady knew he was not telling the truth.
! The incident was assuming scandalous
aspects.
But Mr.. Van Vechten is in no con.
dition to"
checked him. this time with an ire
pressible sob of impotence and an i'm
petuous command to stand aside. He
obeyed mechanically, and the caller,
brushing by him, rushed through the
reception-hall into the livlng-room, and
threw herself upon her knees beside
the unconscious figure on the daven-
port.
Barnicle had never heard tell of
anything like It; he was Mortified
But whether or not the extraordinary
occurrence was novel in Barnicles ex-
perience, he was beginning dimly to
realize that it represented a nantes
tatlon of emotional forces with which
1t would be dangerous for him to med
die. II the lady was 80 disregardful Of
a third persons presence that she
would make no effort to hide her feel
ings, then e-Barnicle--would better
be going; this was no place for a
moral male servant of mature years.
