DEATH OF MRS. WILSON.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife Of the President, died on Tuesday night of last week in the White House in Washing on, and after lying in state until Monday, the remains were con- yeyed 10 Rome, Georgia, her old home, where interment was made on Tues day.
 She was a noble Christian woman, and her death was hastened by ner- vous collapse occasioned by overstrain in her efforts to better the condition of the lowly and needy in the capital. When her husband was the head of Princeton college, when governor of New Jersey and since his elevation to the presidency of the United States, she was his counselor and helpmeet, and always displayed large and in- telligent interest in public affairs. The people of the entire countrygrieve with Prdsident Wilson in his irrepar- able loss. Even his bitterest poiti- cal opponents join in sympathy with the nations stricken head, for in the presence of piteous tragedy of death all antagonism must stand abashed, all resentment cease

4 Neat BuneO Game.

A couple of our best citizens devel- oped large, healthy thirst few days ago, and were put to it for while to find a quencher. They finally hit upon most unique plan, which they should have patented, by all means They repaired to the home of friend, whose hospitality is well known, and whose family was absent. With a neat but suspicious looking package under the arm of one of the pair. they solicited little sugar and water with which to concoct adose of thifst- medicine. The host was somewhat indignant that friend should bring his own beverage when calling upon him, and informed them that he al- ways kept limited supply of emer gency drops on hand; they were not to think of opening their own pack age in his home. They finally yielded under protest, and partook of the fluid produced by their host, who afterward ascertained that he had been neatly buncoed, the bottle car ried by his visitors having been empty. Knowing their victim as they did, they felt there would be no hitch in the working of such scheme, and there wasn't, When the trick was discovered there was good laugh at the impudence of these near-highway- men, in which no one joined more heartily than the gentleman they had held up.

WHO THE DEUCE ARE YOU SIR r EXCLAIMED ROBERTSON ANGRY

too, that stood in dusty. rows beside
the window. Was it Robertson him
self, perhaps, or some agent Of his?
If SO, what did he come for?
Hayes found the half empty box Of
cigars in drawer Of the table, lit one.
and kindling the charred logs with
some scraps of newspaper-not with
out difficulty, for they were damp with
mildew-stretched out his legs to the
blaze and fell asleep, pondering.
When he awoke it was daylight He
started up in some confusion at first,
not knowing where he was. Then,
stretching himself and yawning, he
rose to his feet and began to ponder
upon the best means Of effecting his
escape unnoticed. AS he stood be-
fore the shuttered window, gazing out
through a chink at the deserted street,
he heard sharp click at the gate. A
postman had dropped letter into the
box. Haynes hesitated; then, very
deliberately, he unbolted the front
door, walked down the patch of weed
grown garden, and took the letter.
It was addressed to Chauncey E.
Robertson.
Then the man came there secretly,
he thought, as he tore 1t open without
conjunction. He sat down in the IL
brary and read it. 1t began without
address and briefly informed the re-
cipient that he had opened a real
estate Office at certain number in a
downtown street in Omaha. There was
no signature. But this was clue.
Omaha lies some three hundred and
fifty miles east of Benderville. That
evening, John Haynes strapped on his
gyroscope skates, and running swiftly
along the railroad lines through the
darkness, halting only to make de-
tour round the larger stations, he
reached Omaha about two in the
morning and made his way to the ad-
dress given. 1t was a small, old build
ing in an old part of the city: it was
not guarded and 1t was easy to pick
the lock Of the entrance door with a
skeleton key and to enter. Haynes
found a little directory printed in
black letters upon the wall. He looked
for Robertson's name, and to his as
tonishment he found:
HAYNES, JOHN, real estate, Al.
This was amazing. Haynes hasten
ed up to the fourth story of the build
ing where, in front Of him, he saw his
name again, painted upon the ground
glass panels Of door which again
informed him that he was in the real
estate business. Two minutes later
he was inside tiAy office, furnished
with single desk, on which was not
a scrap Of paper, and with a large
safe Of that late pattern which calls
itself "the burglars foe"
The chase was growing interesting.
This office. like the house, was eyi-

driving a bargain with Robertson, in
return for the information he needed,
Haynes hurried to Benderville.
Nobody there had heard of Robert
son. Certainly there was no man of
such name in Benderville-a small,
struggling city Of a few thousand
souls, among whom no one could con-
ceal himself successfully. On this
point, John Haynes satisfied himself
after few days inquiry. He thought
at first that Robertson might be living
there under an alias. But an old city
directory knew Robertson and furnish
ed his address-24 Main Avenue.
There Haynes discovered a boarded,
weather-worn house with suffered
windows. 1t had been closed five years
and none of the neighbors had any
knowledge as to its owner. Since
Benderville was little more than five
years old, 1t seemed reasonable to be-
lieve that no one now inhabiting that
city knew or had ever known this
man whom John Haynes sought.
Haynes was discouraged. Evidently
his enemy had resolved to place HIM
self beyond reach of retribution, and,
taking his own share in the proceeds
of the conspiracy, had fed to another
part Of the country. That night
Haynes forced an entrance into the
basement of the house, assembled the
uncarpeted stairs, and emerged in the
hallway where, striking a match, he
lit the candle which he had brought
with him and proceeded to make
systematic investigation.
He was surprised to find the house
we'll furnished, even to the grand piano
in the living room, there were pictures
upon the walls and costly furniture
and rich carpets. But the whole
place was falling into decay. Dust
covered everything with a thick layer
of white, the paper was hanging in
mildewed strips from the walls, the
plaster cracking, and spider webs
festooned each room. Evidently Rob
ertson had bought the house with the
intention Of making it his permanent
home; evidently, too, an after-deci-
sion, or some sudden access of panic,
or the conviction that Benderville was
not sufficiently remote from the scene
of his exploits, had driven him to seek
other refuge, and in such haste that
he had not waited to dispose Of his
furnishings. Perhaps he had not
dared to take the risk Of returning.
Haynes looked round him and then
perceived that there were footsteps in
the dust that covered the carpet
steps other than his, and finger-marks
upon the mahogany writing table.
Evidently this house had visitors
not burglars either, for they would
have removed at least that ivory statu-
ette upon the mantel, and the gilt
clock that had run down-the books,

No swindle on the grand scale was
ever so successfully contrived as that
Of the Nokomis Land Company. The
members of this organization had
hlched his western property from
John Haynes, an Englishman; had
torn him from his wife and daughter,
crippled him with a treacherously
fred bullet, and, while he lay helpless
in the hospital, railroaded him into
the penitentiary for fourteen years,
under the name of Pete Timmons, a
notorious gang leader. Then, giving
out that Haynes had accepted mil
lion dollars in settlement of his claims,
and had gone back to England, they
divided their plunder and went their
several ways, while the new city Of
Nokomis, built on the stolen land,
gprang into being and brought them
ample and continuous incomes in the
shape of house rents and sales on the
installment basis.
The company was dissolved There
was nothing corporate for Haynes to
seek to be avenged upon-when he
came out. He could not sue the thou
sands Of innocent property holders
who had obtained their titles in good
faith. Nor did he plan to do so. He
had no confidence in justice; he him
self would bring the conspirators to
book. While working in the prison
machine shop, he invented powerful
gyroscope, which, when attached to
any vehicle, or to the feet, even, would
carry the wearer at an incredible rate
OF speed along roads or railway lines.
With the aid of this, he escaped, To-
Gated his daughter, sent her to Chi
cago to await his summons, and then
turned all his attention to finding his
wife and wreaking vengeance upon his
enemies.
Haynes knew that, like his daughter,
his wife must have been told that he
was dead. That was the reason why
she had not sought him out. One
man alone knew where she could be
found: Chauncey d. Robertson, of
Benderville, the corrupt lawyer who
had betrayed him into the power Of
the more corrupt Judge that had SEN
fenced him while he lay helpless in
prison, awaiting what he believed to
be the continuation of his trial.
Haynes did not know that he had
been sentenced until the warders
hustled him away from court, without
permitting him to make reply.
In the penltentlary, Haynes had
worked out the intricacies Of his re-
venge, and, with that fixed idea of the
paranoiac who has been driven in.
sane by wrongs, he determined that
to each Of his enemies should fall
recompense OF the same nature as
that injury w , he had received from
them. TorHhs tween the desire Of
