A pesperate DESIGN.

Never before nor since have I seen
such absolute CONSERVATION depicted
on human countenance as there was
on Lysander Melton's as he saw me
standing in the center of his room. He
stopped as IL suddenly paralyzed, and
his Jaw fairly dropped. He certainly
never dreamed that his enemy would
seek refuge in his mothers house.
Now, though might have been jus.
titled In killing him Gas l could easily
have dpne), I am not Of the kidney to
deliberately slay an unarmed man In
cold blood, and the idea Of putting an
end to him only occurred to me. All
! wished to do was to render him
harmless until Agnes and I could get
away, for our bacon WAS now fairly In
the FIRE. And thought saw how this
might be done. Closets are aplenty In
that house, and all doors are heavy
and strong.

calmly, "you have made your way

There was no immediate answer,
his chest heaved as he realized the

useless for him to shout; there were
no domestics on the place, and his
mother would never hear him. His lit.
tie gasps showed how his heart was
racing.

RUSSIAN WAR MISSION
REACHES CAPITAL TODAY
Coming waited With Great Interest
Because of international Situation
Facing That Country.

Washington, June 19.-Russia's war
mission, whose coming is awaited with
more than ordinary interest because
of the international situation facing
new Russian democracy, will reach
Washington at noon tomorrow to dis
cuss cooperation in the war with
American officials.
Ranking officers of the state depart
ment will meet the ENJOYS at the rail
road station and accompanied by a
cavalry guard will escort them to their
headquarters. Every effort will be
made to have the welcome reflect
the American nations deep sympathy
and confidence for the struggling dem
ocratic government at Petrograd.
The mission, it is understood, will
have full powers of negotiation and
will serve as a Russian counterpart
to the mission now in Petrograd under
the leadership of Elihu Root. Since
it's departure about five weeks ago
from the Russian capital; it has kept
fully in touch with the situation by
cable and wireless and is fully enough
informed to discuss the situation in
detail.

camps. Secretary Baker, however, in
a letter to Senator Jones, several
weeks ago, answering a suggestion
that some Of the troops be used for
harvesting, spoke of September / as
the probable date of opening the
camps and pointed out that most of
the harvesting would be over by that
time.
War department officials generally
had fixed September l in their minds
\as the time training would begin. The
first body of officers for the new ar
my, now being trained in camps thru
out the country, is to be turned out in
August, to make room for the next
body. This was arranged on the plan
Of ho ho
tions disposed of and troops ordered
into training camps by September /.
The sixteen great environments for
the new army will be built under a
special form of contract by the terms
of which no contractor will be per
mitted to overcharge the government,
the maximum profit of any contract
being fixed at $250GO0. The govern
ment also will have complete supervis-
ion over the work and may terminate
any contract at will.
The terms Of the contracts were
made public by the war department
today. The primary object in the word
ing Of the agreement is to secure a
speedy construction and avoidance Of
unnecessary expenditures.
The contractor is to be paid his ex-
penses and percentage of their total
amount, cut of which he must meet
his overhead costs. His profits are
to come from the difference between
this percentage and overhead expens-
es.
