The spot of light grew larger.
Cardwen emerged into a second
room, much larger than the one he
had left. 1t was filed with dust, and
in the dust were footprints Of a shoe
with a tapering toe. Cardwel shUd-
dered. The man who left that print
must have passed that way centuries
before.
No, it was a woman's footprint, for
beside it were the larger ones of a
man. Her guard! There was a long
line in the dust beside them, evident
Iy causd by some trailing weapon.
CardweH followed the prints. He
passed through an old oak doorway
and suddenly emerged upon the an
open space, tufted with grass and in
closed by high walls.
He could see the grim outlines of
the Tower about him and realized
that he was standing in a little dis
used courtway, leading upon a larg-

passed through gate and stood still,
Mortified at what he saw.
In the center of the courtway was
a grisly block. Beside it stood a
headsman, and, kneeling in front of
it was a woman in antique dress,
with long, fair hair tied back and
the throat of her gown unfastened.
A dozen men in black, wearing
swords at their sides, were watching
the scene. The headsman lifted his
ak and ran his. thumb along the
blade.
CardweI leaped forward so sud-j
denly that he took the headsmaH
completely by surprise. He snatched
the ak from him. The woman at
the block turned her face toward
him. 1t was very fair and quite COM

NAY, my lord, - said the girl at the
block. 81 know there can be no par
don for such as I. His majesty hath
given orders to his high sheriff that

Cardwe1 sprang to her side. But
now the others, who had crept upon
him unawares while the girl was
speaking, leaped on him from every
quarter. The ak was snatched from
his hand and a dozen swords were
pointed at his breast. q
AS in a dreadful dream, Cardwel,
helpless there, saw the girl lay her
head down on the block again, saw
the ak rise and fall. He struggled,

Then he was lying upon his bed in

morning struggled through the slit in
the wall above him.
He started up. AS he did, so he
heard footsteps In the corridor out

Cardwel sprang to his feet and gave
the military salute.
The governor, acknowledging it,
proddced a document and began to
read, while CardweI, cursing the de-
lay for such a formality, waited until
he had finished.

said, trying to calm himself for the
inevitable.

-Trichmosi5 has appeared i'll the
family of farmer living some miles
from here and has. created alarm. al
though there have thus far been no
deaths and all those affected are be-
lieved to be beyond danger. Six of
the seven members of the family we're
affected The only member of the
family to thus far escape is a l-year-
old baby. The cases are the result of
eating pork which had not been
cooked sufficiently, and the first cases
of the kind to be. reported in this ter
ritory for a number of years. Mr..
and Mrs. w. M. Krthart were the
first members of the family to de-
velop the disease, their Children, with
the exception of the baby, being taken
i'll in rapid succession afterward.
When the disease first developed it
was believed TO be typhoid fever, but
proved to be the dreaded trichinosis.
The recovery in such cases always is
unusually slow compared with many
other diseases.

SIR HIRAM MAXIM,
INVENTOR, is DEAD
Maker Of Automatic Firearms
and Smokeless Powder Ex-
pires at London. 4
NATIVE OF MAINE STATE

London, Nov. 24.-Sir Hiram
Maxim, inventor of the automatic sys-
tenn of firearms, died at his home here
early this morning.
Sir Hiram Maxim was born in Sam
gerville, Me-, on February S, 1910. He
was a descendant of English Puritans
who were among the early settlers of
Plymouth county, Massachusetts,.
After a meager schooling he went to
work in machine shop and later was
employed in the machine works of his
uncle, Levy Stevens, at Fitchburg,
Mass. At 2S he was a craftsman in
large steamship building concern in
New York City, where he invented a
new locomotive headlight which went
into general Use. He also did much
to perfect automatic gas machines for
lighting private houses. In 1877 he
took up the question OF electricity and
was among the first to make dynamo
electric machines and electric lamps
in the United States. He took out a
great many patents OH electrical ma
chinery and in 1881 was made a chew
alier of the Legion Of Honor by Pres
ident Grevy of France. ~
The Maxim automatic gun was in
vented in 1884 i'll London and was inn
mediately adopted by the British gov
ernment, which used it in the war with
Matabele. The gun fired 900 rounds
minute and caused such slaughter
that Parliament seriously discussed
the question as to whether its use was
justihed. Some years later Sir Hiram
created baronet by Queen Victoria
after having become naturalized as All
Englishman, invented the first smoke.

the government to meet the needs oi

Man at Spalding
Not Jean Crones, Is
Word of Detectives

Spalding, Neb., Nov. 24.-(Special
Telegram.)- )-Detective Sergeant John
F. Aiken of Chicago tonight after a
visit to the farm of John Zahn, where
the man suspected OF being Jean
Crones, the Chicago poisoner, was
working, declared he was not Crones.
The detective will return to Chicago
i'll the morning, leaving the suspect
peacefully shucking corn, ten miles
out i'll the country, as he has been all
along without being put under arrest.
The suspect gave his name as
Charles Lucas and said he was born
in Germany and has travelled over the
world having been in nearly all its
large cities. He said he came to the
United States in 1905. He says he
has a brother in Philadelphia.
The Chicago officers, says Marshal
w. ]. Byrnes of Spalding, made care
full measurements of the man and
while the resemblance to Crones was
striking, still they were positive he
was not the much wanted criminal. A
member of the club, who was we'll
acquainted with Crones accompanied
the detective and was equally positive
the suspect was not the man sought.
