is now clear, for the first time in many
months.

CONVICTED OF INSANITY
CHARGE.

Attorney George w. Goode of Koos-
kia. who was attending district court
as counsel in the case of Bank of
Stites vs.W. A. Grunewald, was ar
rested by Chief of Police Smith We'd
nesday night near the Imperial Hotel
en- the charge of disturbing the peace
by boisterous and profane language,
and was taken to the city bastile for
the night. The afternoon of the next
day he was arraigned before Probate
Judge L. NJ. Harris on a charge of in
sanity, with Drs. Stockton and Moore
as expert examiners. Goode, when
being examined talked of the Shelton
theory of communication with spirits
through mental vibrations; said he
could communicate with those of like
views a distance of from Grangeville
to Portland, and that Shelton, the or
iginator of the theory, could encircle
the globe with his vibrations. At the
close of the examination the two ply
sicians held a brief consultation and
reported to the judge their conclusion,
which was that the man was insane.
Goode will be taken to Lewiston in
the morning and from there to Orofino.

Boise Capital News: Actual CON
struction of the north and south rail
road is becoming nearer a possibility
every day. This is clearly indicated
by an interview with Governor Alex

Senator Jerome J. Day from Chicago,
where he held a satisfactory confer
ence with financiers interested in the
road building. Handicapped by the
last legislature in failing to make an
appropriation for the north and south
railroad commission to perform its
work, Senator Day, chairman of the
commission, has been forced to meet
most of the expenses out of his own
pocket. Governor Alexander has ten
dered what assistance he could finan-
cially. Governor Alexander said
"The north and south railroad seems

/ She thanked him briefly, quietly,
with a constraint he understood too
well to resent.
Both, perhaps, were sensible of SOME
relief when at length the train thun-
dered in from the East, breathing smoke
and flame. Whitaker helped his wife
aboard and interviewed the porter in
her behalf. Then they had a moment
or two alone in the drawing-room, in
what was meant to be their first and
last parting.
She caught him suddenly by the
shoulders with both her hands. Her
eyes sought his with wistful courage
he could not but admire.
"You know I'm grateful :"
"Don't think of it that way-though
I'm glad you are"
"You're a good man." she said bro
kenly.
He knew himself too we'll to be able
to reply.
"You mustn't worry about me, now.
You've made things easy for me.
can take care of myself, and I
shan't forget whose name 1 hear"
He muttered something to the effect
that he was sure of that.
She released his shoulders and stood
back, searching his face with torment
ed eyes. Abruptly she offered him her
hand.
"Good-by," she said, her lips CULVER
ing-"Good-by, good friend!'
He caught the hand, wrung it
clumsily and painfully and :.
realized that the train was in motion.
He had barely time to get away :.
He found himself on the station plat
form, stupidity watching the rear lights
dwindle down the tracks and wonder
ing whether or not Authorizations were
phase of his malady. A sick man
often dreams strange dreams. q. :.
A voice behind him, cool with trace
of irony, observed:
"Td give a good deal to know just
what particular brand of fOOlishnesS
you've been INDUCING in, this time"
He whirled around to face Peter
Stark-Peter quietly amused and very
much the master of the situation.
"You needn't think" said he, "that
you have any chance on earth of escap-
ing my fond attentions, Hugh. I've

CHAPTER w.
WiIlful MISSING.

1t was one o'clock in the morning
before Whitaker allowed himself to be
persuaded; fatigue REINFORCED every
stubborn argument of Peter Stark's to
overcome his resistance. "Oh, have
your own way" he said at length, I'M
consciously iterating the words that
had won him bride. ''If it must
Beyond drawing heavily on his bank
and sending Drummond a brief note,
Whitaker failed to renew communica-
ton with his home. He SINK into a
state of semi-apathetic content. The
Adventures was five months out of
port before he began to be conscious
that he was truly accursed. There
came a gradual thickening of the
shadows that threatened to eclipse his
existence. And then, one day as they
dined with the lonely trader of an
isolated station in the D'Entrecasteaux
Islands, he fell from his chair as If

poleaxed. He regained consciousness
only to shiver with the chill of the
! wind that's famed by the wings of
! death. 1t was impossible to move him.
The agonies of the damned were his
when, with exquisite gentleness, they
, lifted him to bed.
Stark sailed in the Adventures be-
| fore shutdown of the same day, purpos-
ing to fetch surgeon from Port
MOresby. Whitaker said last farewell
to his friend, knowing In his soul that
they would never meet again. Then he
composed himself to die quietly. But
the following morning brought hap
chance trading schooner to the island,
and with it, in the estate of super
cargo, crapulOus Scotch gentleman
who had been a famous specialist Of
London before drink laid him by the
heels. He performed a heroic oper-
alton upon Whitaker within an hour,
announced by nightfall that the pa
tient would recover, and the next day
sailed with his ship to end his days in
some abandoned Australian boozing-
ken-as Whitaker learned in Sydney
several months later.
In the same place, and at the same
time, he received his first authentic
news of the fate of the Adventures.
The yacht had struck ON an uncharted
reef, in heavy weather, and had foun-
dered almost Immediately. OF her
entire company, solitary sailor man
aged to cling to Iife-raft until picked
up, a week after the wreck, by tramp
steamship on whose decks he gasped
out his news and his life in the same
breaths.
Whitaker hunted up an account of
the disaster in the files of local news
paper. He read that the owner, Peter
Stark, Esq, and his guest, II. M. Whit
aker, ESQ.,, both of New York, had
gone down with the vessel. There
was also a cable dispatch from New
York detailing Peter Stark's social
and financial prominence-evidence
that the news had been cabled home.
To all who knew him Whitaker was
as dead as Peter Stark.
"There is world outside the one you
know
To which for curiousness Ell can't i
compare;
1t is the place where wilful musings
go,
AS we can testify, for we are there"
Kipling's lines buzzed through his |
head more than once in the course of |
the next few years; for he was |
there" They were years of such
vagabondage as only the South Seas |
neither unhappy nor
very strenuous, nor yet Scared by the
tooth of poverty. Whitaker had be-
tween four and five thousand dollars |
in travellers checks which he convert /
ed into cash while in Sydney. Me-
mOry of the wreck of the Adventures
was already fading from the Australian
mind; no one dreamed of challenging
the signature of a man seven months
dead. And as certainly and as quietly
as the memory, Whitaker faded away;
Hugh Morten took his place, and Sgd
ney knew him no more. nor did any
