if l should hit him? What if should
kick him and bite him-yes, and spit
down his throat?" He remembered about
the man splitting on his back. All the
hate that he had been feeling for days be-
gan to gather in his mind against the
officer; but all the while Biggs knew that
he would do nothing-that he was
coward.
Over the officers head on the rack, was
the heaviest of the bags. 1t contained a
wooden box full of printed matter. 1t was
so heavy that it took two men to handle
it. Now it caught Biggs' eye. He stared
at it. He saw that it was slipping slowly.
He saw that if it slipped half an inch
farther, it would overbalance and crash
down. His eyes glittered. He half closed
them as if he were trying to sleep.
All this time things had been going on
in the officers mind as well. He had been
looking at Biggs, and Biggs was not
pleasant object to stare at for hours. The
officer had heard that even worm will
turn. He wondered. He was smoking
cigarette. He leaned forward and blew
mouthful of smoke into Biggs' face. For
one second Biggs became man. He
struck the officer with all his strength.
AS he struck, the heavy case, the case
that it took two men to handle, fell with
muffled thud.
The officer was still STOPPING over. His
eyes had just time to flare with rage at
Biggs' blow. The case, on edge, struck
him in the small of the back. Without
sound he plunged forward, limp mass.
The heavy box wabbled and then came
to rest, balanced on top of him.
Biggs tipped the box back on to the
seat where the officer had been sitting.
Then he opened the door of the compart-
ment and showed the body out into the
rushing night. He heard it strike the
running-board of the carriage and bounce
off. He closed the door quietly and sat
down.
"Great big stiff" he murmured.
SUDDENLY realization came to him
- His face turned pasty white, his eyes
stuck out, he began to tremble all over
and his teeth to chatter. What had he
done? Murder. What would they do to
him? Line him up and shoot him. Why,
they wouldn't think any more of shooting
him than he would of stepping on one
grasshopper in locust year! What
would he say to the guard? What would
he say to the guard? What would
Biggs was brought back to himself by
lights and shouts. He looked out Por-
tiers were running to his compartment.
He crumpled in his seat and closed his
eyes. Sweat crawled down his cheeks.
The porters started grabbing at the bags
without even looking at him. Biggs
opened his eyes slowly; then a thought
came to him and galvanized his spine.
He snatched out his watch. ooh, God.
Oh, thank God!" 1t was the border No
one had asked anything about the officer.
No one could know when or how he had
left the compartment. They could guess:
they could never know-not if Biggs got
away and never never came back
In sort of frenzy he helped the porters
lift out the bags; in the same sort of rage
he advanced on the examining officers and
presented his papers. He was like rat
showing his teeth. They frowned and
passed him.
But, back in the train, all the way to
Flushing, all night and most of the next

it. He shrugged his shoulders.
@Oh," he said, athat's all right. I've
never left go of it, not for minute"
They went to the embassy. Bggs was
shown in to one of the secretaries. The
secretary took him and his bag to the
Ambassador. He delivered it and walked
out.
He was only at the top of the stairs
when he heard an ejaculation. The secre-
tary hurried out and called him back.
On the Ambassadors desk lay the canvas
bag; beside it was letter with all three
seals broken neatly, as if they had been cut.
The Ambassador, frowning, was stand
ing up. He pointed at the letter.
"That's the way it came" he said.
Explain it."
The words were so sharply uttered that
they cut into Biggs. 1t was as if some one
had given him a clip of the whip and
promised more to follow. He stared at
the letter, at the secretary standing by,
at the Ambassador
at never left my hands, sir" he stam-
mered. at never left my hands-not for
a minute"
The Ambassador leaned forward. His
eyes seemed to strive to eat into Biggs'
brain.
Don't lie to me- he said, "you-you-"
IN that moment eliminated for Biggs
the oppression and terror of many days
and the agony of long hours. His hands
went up in strange gesture; he col
lapsed-sank back into chair, covered
his face, and broke into stranging sobs.
"I-never-left-go -of-it-for
minute!" he gasped.
The secretary was moving about
swiftly. He folded sheet of paper, put
it in an envelop, sealed the envelop with
three seals, setting the wax alight and
letting it drip. When the wax had cooled,
he put the envelop in the canvas bag and
tied it as it had been tied when delivered.
by the shoulder.
"Here," he said. as he shook him. "Lis-
ten. Take this bag. Show us how you
carried it during the day, and at night,
and when you were at table. Come on"
Biggs did as he was ordered. He tucked
the bag under his coat, under his arm, sat
on it, lay on it, numbering all the while.
The Ambassador watched the pro-
ceedings with unveiled scorn and suspicion
of Biggs.
"Those are all the different ways you
carried that bag?" asked the secretary.
"Sure, whimpered Biggs.
The secretary handed the bag to the
Ambassador.
"Will you open it, sir?'
When the bag was opened and the
dummy letter taken out, it was found that
all the seals were broken neatly, as if they
had been cut. The Ambassador did not
apologize to Biggs; he never thought of
him. He turned to the secretary with an
amused and questioning look.
"It's very simple said the secretary,
smiling. "They shut the bag in such
hurry that they forgot to put on the lead
seal. Consequently they must have sealed !
the letter in hurry. If you melt wax
properly the seals are tough and flexible;
if you do it like | did just now" He
waved his hand at the dummy letter.
well, WE'LL laughed the Ambassador.
"Quite sleuth, Ell? What about lunch? |
You're lunching with us, aren't your"
He slipped the original letter into a |

IIJDGE SHAVER FIXES
 BOND AT $2,5OO.OO
John Daniels Will be Released if He Can Furnish Bond in Sum of S2,500-NegrO Admitted to Bar This Morning.

Judge J. D. Shaver, chancery court, this morning fixed the bond of Jno. Daniels at $2,500. Daniels was ar rested some time ago on charge of poisoning an aged negress on the morning of the 18th of May. It is alleged that Tony King owned 400 acres of land and that Daniels want ed possession of it. Daniels was given a preliminary. hearing here last week before Squire Fishers and was held for the grand jury which con- venes in July. Both Tony King and his wife drank whiskey which con- tained poison and the wife died al most immediately after drinking the whiskey.
 The court this morning ordered an- other payment of 10 per cent to the depositors of the defunct Citizens Bank X Trust Company.
 Several divorce cases were disposed of and J. D. Shackelford, colored, was admitted to the bar. The attorneys appointed to examine Shackelford were C. C. Hamby, w. V. Tompkins and H. B.
