Then one afternoon the club was
electrified. Tom Phinney had been

some minutes. It struck him all at

II say, fellows" he abrutly sang out
! "thirteen-thirteen's occupied"
There was concerted movement
toward the clubs window; everybody
present left off whatever he happened
to be doing at the moment and stood
silently gaping at the gloomy front.

presently remarked wonder who ii

less, curious inspection was about all
the information respecting Number
1913 that was to be vouchsafed dur
ing the succeeding months. During
that time 1t was scarcely possible that
any person could have come or gone
within the eighteen hours that are the
liveliest of the twenty-four, without
attracting somebody's attention at the
Powhatan. For as the weeks passed
and the shades remained down by
day, and the windows dark by night,
curiosity grew apace: the house be-
came more and more fruitful topic of
speculation; and with its secret front
constantly staring one in the face, the
least sign Of life or activity must have
been noted
Why should anybody want to main
tain such persistent. unnatural seclu-
sion?
Inquiry at the estates office build
ing was productive Of no enlighten-
ment. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in gaining access to the
manager; then he at once denied Mum
Der 1876 occupancy. Whereupon
Tom Phinney felt that the Powhatan's
committee was not being treated with
the Difference which 1t PROFESSIONALLY
deserved.
See here" he said, humping the
desk under the managers nose; your
confounded house is situated right
across the street from the Powhatan
club"
For the first time the managers
eye contained CLEAN of interest. He
interrupted.
Isn't Mr.. Percy Bonner on your
house committee?" he inquired
yes, he is" returned Tom. not re-
ceding in the least from his determined
stand. He waited moment, but as
the CLEAN died in the managers eye,
proceeded.
Our body is select. you must be
aware, and we are proud of the quiet
responsibility of our neighborhood.
There's enough influence In our mem
bership to run out anything of a shady
nature-we won't stand for 1t, in
short"
The manager acknowledged the Jus
tice of this ultimatum, but merely
said: ''If you see or hear anything
wrong, run EN- out; l don't care"
I'VE have q right to know who our
neighbors are" insisted Tom.
Inquire of them" said the mana
ger; II can't tell you"
do you mean to say you don't
know" -incredulously.
Just that. The present tenant new
er applied to us at all-have never
seen him. In fact. Occupancy Of the
house was arranged in quite another
manner. Really. gentlemen, that is all
l am at liberty to tell YOU"
And the Powhatan's committee was
bowed politely out.
II was not for nothing that the
house was called the House Of Mys-
terry.

Johnson, q young farmer boy, shot
and instantly killed J. A. Steele, a
former Northern Pacific brakeman,
after terrific struggle on the high
bridge here. Steele attempted to
throw the boy into the river following
trouble over the wife of the dead
man, when Johnson pulled a gun and
fired three shots into his body.
The shooting took place in the
presence of Steele's wife. Johnson
Immediately gave himse'l up to the
authorities. Public sentiment, in view
of the circumstances, favors Johnson
who, 1t appears killed Steele as last
resort to save his own life and pre-
vent linn from harming Mrs. Steele.
After Several hours deliberation,
the coroners jury returned verdict
of justifiable homicide. and Johnson
was released from custody.
