Freneau was permitted to send up
flowers, but he could not be sure that
they reached her. He wondered what
Royce was saying about him to Gloria,
and whether she believed it.
He did not know that Royce had
been discouraged to make even what
protest he might have given voice to.
When he first entered Gloria's room.
Royce saw on the little table near her
bed a silver-framed portrait of Ere
neau. Gloria was too delirious to see
how his lip curled with scorn. But
her father saw 1t, and when Royce
said, This fellow is scoundrel,'
Pierpont answered, sternly:
II called you to treat my daughters
health, not her heart"
Freneau did not know that he had
such an ally in the family. But he
knew that he had an enemy Of Pc
culiar sort, an enemy who loved him
not wisely, but too well. And that was
Lois, the wife of David Stafford.
The poor Don Juan Of q Freneau
had never dreamed when he began q
casual Irritation with Lois that she
would prove SO desperate q worshiper.
He had expected that she would let
him 60 with sigh or q smile, a. his
other sweethearts had done when they
realized that his heart had wings and
used them. He was to learn how Sc
riously Lois took his attentions and to
learn 1t at q most inconvenient time.
He had respected Pierpont's wish that
the engagement to Gloria should be
kept secret, and had told no one but
his partner. Mulry. He had most de-
cidedly not told Lois. He was plan
ming to discard her as gracefully rs
possible before the news broke.
Mulry had chuckled with Joy 1t the
news Of the engagement. But he grew
- glum as an owl when he learned Of
Gloria's illness. At length he said to
Freneau:
my boy. you've got to 60 and Dor.
row of your papa-in-law to be, or we've
got to close the shop. Our branch Of
fees are bowling for their back pay,
and we've got to pull down some cash
somewhere or pull down the blinds.
Go talk to Pierpont and show him the
books. Show him the big killing we're
going to make in the street U isyl tjdo

IcONFESSES DETAILS
OF REEVES MURDER

Shreveport, La, Dec. S1.-An.
other suspect, Anderson Heard
held in the Minden Jail in the Reeves
murder, has confessed, according to
officers. He implicated himself, Ches.
ter Tyson, Mark Peters and Larkin
Stewart, but says no white man tool
part in the murder. Two of these
negroes, Stewart and Peters, with
Long and Tyson, are at some point
in the state for safe-keeping. His
confession was not thought much Of
at first, but on being taken to the
scene Of the crime by officers, he
gave so many, details of the crime
that correspond with the physical
facts in the case the officers felt con-
WINGED he at least knew much about
the murder.
Sheriff Phillips mad two deputies
and District Attorney H. 6. Drew
let Minden Sunday Afternoon with
Heard, presumably to convey him to
where the other suspects are held.
They passed through Shreveport in
an automobile 1t 6 o'clock, but
would not make known their point Of
destination. Sheriff Phillips intima-
ted that he had an all-night trip
ahead of him. He has been on the 60
constantly ever since the crime was
committed, week ago tonight, and
is nearly exhausted from the loss Of
sleep and work.
In his confusion Heard said he re-
NAMED on the outside Of the house,
but that he saw Chester Lyon fell
Mrs. Reeves TO the ground With an
axe as she ran out Of the kitchen
door. The axe with which the whole
sale killing was done had been iden-
titled previously. Is belonging to
Chester Tyson. The murdered mans
piston was found hidden between the
mattresses in Lyson's bed the day
after the murder was committed.

Yesterday local man received a
letter from MI. Garrett B. Wall, as
sistant to President G. W. Stevens OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
advising him that the matter had been
taken up with the directors OF the
company and that he had recommend
ed that the change be made. lie said
that 1t was not unlikely that the
change would be acted upon favoral,ly.
Doubtless the new location OF the
depot, across Lower street, so that Inc
building could be plainly seen from m
Second street would be splendid one
but II the railroad men do not WISH
to put it there the matter should be
dropped at once. AS we get the idea,
the new depot is to advertise Ma.ysville
to the thousands of persons passing
through Maysville OH this railroad
each month. The depot should be
placed SO as to give them the best
impression of our town possible.
Work will begin with in a few
weeks, filling Lower street. AS soon
as this is completed the new structure
will begin to rise and will be finished
about the first of the new year
