threatened him until he had reveal

pair of old handouts, a relic of an
adventure through which Emile had
passed in his youth. With these, he
said, the man had fastened him to

by the still more ominous silence
what had happened. The man, he
declared, had passed out of the

THE INSTRUMENT OF
DEATH.

Patrolman Clancy, hearing contin-
uous, mutfled shouts as he saUn-
tered past the Ribodeau house, had
mounted the steps and rung the
bell, whereupon the shouts for help
were redoubIed-
Throwing fine legal technicalittes
to the wind, Clancy battered in a
parlor window and entered.
In the front halI-he found Charles
Ribodeau chained by means of a
pair Of handouts to the banisters
Of the stairs leading to the second
foor. Ribodeau, exhausted from
what had apparently been a night
of terror in a desperately fatiguing
position, collapsed, Clancy tele-
phoned for the wagon and a plain
clothes man.
Ribodeau, still unconscious, was
earted OF to the hospital, and Clan
cy made the rounds OF the house
with Detective Brown. In the eel
lar they came upon a CHASTITY sight.
In a crumpled heap before the
door OF the furnace lay the body
of Emile Ribodeau, the elder brother
of the man who had been chained
to 1.-The bsnisters. He had been
struck down by a heavy blow on
the head. He was dead. There was
no, one else in the house, the two
msp having lived the lives Of re-
cluses.
Brown finally located the instru-
msnt of death in ths great iron
handle for shaking the CRATE. This
handle was detachable from the fur
mace and stood in its customary
conner Of the wall several feet away.
From the position of the body and
thsimanner in which the ashes had
been kicked around il was clear
thai the elder Robideau had been
interrupted while shaking down the
fire, that a struggle had ensued in
which the murderer had gotten pos

Astrologers read this as an unfor-

Saturn are all in strongly malefic
aspect.
All who have large plans to de
velop would better delay before TAX
ing any initiative.
Uncertainty in many lines of bus
mess will retard or even prevent
enterprise while this confguration
prevails.
Education comes under sway
making for undue political infiu-
ences that threaten public schools
and State universities. The seers
prophesy widespread agitation to
prevent dangerous policies.
Mars frowns upon many construc-
tive plans at this time, and the
planet is believed to have special
power over Legislators and the ju-
dietary.
Saturn is in a place held to en-
courage reactionary influences that
will be revealed in false ideas OF
economy and pretended reforms.
This is not a favorable day for
the aged, and especially is it threat
ening to those who have held high
place in the councils of the nation.
Although the planetary govern
ment is -menacing, the Sun gives a
little encouragement to those who
seek appointment or position.
There is a sign of warning that
should admonish all persons who
WELD power to take account of the
claims of the people. Rulers of all
ranks, are subject to influences that
breed rebellion against authority.
Mars again threatens stormy
and unreasonable weather toward
spring. Agriculturists should safe
guard their interests.
