At these words the banker raised bis Bead, hut, not receiving any more explicit ciptomlhnu was satisfied with the myetoriem answer and did not inquire aa to farther details. Ob the following morning, while Maredds repaired to the bank, Count Bo**ll aaemtoi his horse, and after having inall acted the groom to drive the carriage la advance, leisurely followed at a little distune*. Groat consternation and confmlan eras presented to their eyes as toap mitered the old building in the for-

But the cook vehemently ami Irmly denied haring been negligent, -mhßa the Trench maid blustered and exyatpiattd, though she carefully avoided motioning that rihe had been Jn Latiny'* company the previous evening. Ttiemnt words were exchanged and the tyearrel was at its highest pitch when the aeant arrived upon the scene. The cook. te a stammering voice, tried to explain. Count Bozell quickly descended from his horse and in a stentorian voice •xcWfemed: "Wm is tshs way you serve me, is It? 1 each* to have known better than to tract rath people as you, but who can teti everything beforehand? And Marstiea himself was opposed to my taking lamil command!” and, storming terxibiy, he ran through the room and ostrwlufl the stairs. All had been risked in vain, he argued. (The birds bad flown! The trap was empty! The meshes of the net, which he •ad supposed were successfully woven, Asm! relaxed. What next? He was already heavily in debt, and the urgent dehsradt of usurers had been mitigated by |Ae prospect of a splendid wealthy rmarpiaga—it was Impossible for him to intact ■ too severe revenge for this sot. Mimstes upon minutes the count meditated deeply over the situation. The supmar which had been served the previous Evening remained almost untouched; the tad, too, bed not been occupied, only the ■ew-hnrned candle indicated a former Cmeoce. Finally the words escaped from tips, hatefully: *T must end will accomplish my object; hf ast in this manner, then by another. Mstrrden has tried his hand—should he Assr of this fiasco—well, no matter, ha wont harm one hair of my head, without Jeopardizing his own neck, and I will tut even that!” A tremor passed through his body, Crum the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, but with a firm step he left She apartment. “Ttst French maid has to go knmegi»triy!“ he announced, addressing the guana “Let her return to London on eta wit train. The missing lady will ■stsalitritiT return of her own accord.” However, the investigations did not utai say light upon Mies Albertson's mistsriniw disappearance. They could •at ee certs ip her whereabouts; the station agent positively disclaimed to have •alt tickets on that particular evening, •am to a gray-haired peasant and his m mod daughter.

motioned with his left hand for them to flolkrw. Cautiously he conducted them down the stains. Beatrice repressed her breath, although her bosom heaved tumultuously; the fear of discovery choked her and aha was forced to use all her enorgy in order not to frustrate their escape. Noiselessly, Kenneth pushed the heavy oaken door opto. Darkness rested mysteriously over nature’s bosom, while sweet repose had enshrouded every living creature. Only a nightingale aung her melancholy, plalntlv# song, and th# stamping at a home’s hoof denoted the road which the fugitives were to follow. Kenneth untied the animal and said: “My lady, you had better ride the distance through the forest, as the road is very rough.” Beatrice nodded assent and Kenneth assisted her to mount. And holding the steed with one hand and with the other supporting Julia, he conducted them to the broad open road where he had left the luggage hidden in the bushes. Then he assisted Beatrice in dismounting and requested her to accompany Julia for a short distance to the inn, while he followed closely with the horse and haggage. Mrs. Lathrop welcomed the two women at the open door. “My mother, Miss Aibenson,” explained Kenneth. “She will see to your welfare.” “My lady, you are heartily welcome. Our home Is humble, but open at all times.”

At this cordial reception Beatrice’s anxiety vanished; gladly she entered the house, and sank exhausted upon an oldfashioned nofa, near the old gentleman, Humphrey Lathrop. White linen covered the table on which was served a Hght repast. “You are surely tired and huugry and cold, so please accept at least a cup of hot tea,” pleaded the hostess. Beatrice repeated the singular acacqualntance she had made with Kenneth, and expressed her since rest thanks for the service rendered. ‘‘Yon have performed a service for me, Mr. Lathrop, that I can never repay; but I will always remember you with my slncerest thankfulness,” she said. "And yet I need your further advice. Where shall I go? I will never return to my step-father's house, for I earnestly believe him to be in the conspiracy.” “That is so," affirmed Kenneth. “You will understand everything better when you are yourself again. But this day Is precious, Miss Albenson, for you are not yet in perfect safety and mint not miss the train.” “Of course I shall follow your directions Implicitly, as I know I cannot remain here very long. When shall I go? What shall 1 do? Give me your advice.” “To London; only there can you sucoeasfully baffle all attempts to find your hiding place.” “I will take the train for London. Though my means will not reach very far, I hope to gain a livelihood in some honorable way.” “Never mind that, Miss Albenson. At present you must not do anything that would have a tendency to make us known. The detectives are very keen, therefore they must not see you if it can bs prevented.” “But how can I earn a maintenance, thou?" “Troot to me; Srhere there's a will there’a a way.' W» will look after that, Mias Albenson. Bat It is time mother was ready; father and I will bring out tha carriage and pat old Bob to It.” A few minutes later Mrs. Lathrop and Beatrice hastily left the room. Julia flung her arms around Kenneth's neck and exclaimed : “Kenneth, my love, you are Indeed a faithful soul. What you have done this night, how you have behaved yourself toward my mistress, I will never forget.” “Then we will get married at London," he responded, lifting her up and Impressing a kiss. It Is not necessary to placard It on every comer. We can be married in one of the most frequented churches, where, among a number of couples longing for matrimony no inquiries will be made.” "What then? Our love is not sufficient to support us and the young lady.” “Too true, Julie. But then my father can aid us. He served for many years on the police fores and he certainly has acquaintances who can procure me a position. The young lady will remain with us until she has attained her majority.” Tor a few momenta the carriage stood before the inn. Kenneth’s parents accompanied them to the station, where Beatrice, Julia and Kenneth shortly afterward departed for London without any mishap. *•••••• Darkness was creeping over the ground and yet Victor Btaymond had not arrived at hie parents’ home, which was situated a Utile distance from the city. His parents did not entertain any anxiety as yet, as they presumed be was at his uncle’s residence, or, perhaps, had been invited to supper and then had gone to attend the theater. However, the old lady could not banish a vague presentiment of portending evil. Finally the door opened and Victor entered the room. Mrs. Raymond quickly raised her eyes from the work she was performing, and the hearty salutation which was on her lips died away when she gazed upon Victor’s haggard countenance. "Mother, I have come,” was all he •aid. and then tank heart-broken into a chair, covering his face with his hands. Gen. Raymond arose, full of sympathy, while the mother graciously knelt before her son. “Is Bestrios sick?” inquired tire. “The newt will break her heart,” he responded, wringing his hands In despair. “My son, yon seem to have lost your mind; what is it that offsets you so seriously?” interrupted tha general, enxtouatyjtsrtng open Victor’s wild, distorted

“Oh, father, how mm I endure It toy longer? I am dishonored, and you, my mother and Beatrice am alto diagraoed. It will kill ma. I have bam accused of theft! Oh, father, can you compNfceud the seriousness of this accusation?” The general’s face became aa pale aa a human fact could get end etui be a living one. “My eon accused of theft? Oh, this cannot be true. There la eome mistake. My son, you can surely prove to the contrary?" “No, no, I cannot! My position le bo peculiar that I am entirely powerless in the hands of my accuser. Nobody can disbelieve the charge.” “Victor, you are greatly excited and look upon the dark side more than necessary. My brother wiH surely help you with his advice and assistance.” “He has already denounced me,” cried the young man, “and has discharged mo from the firm.” The general battled manfully for a few momenta; then sank upon a chair. “ADd you, too, father? Do you aloe doubt me?” Victor asked in broken aocentA. “No, my son; I sen grieved to hear that my brother, who is usually a doss observer, pronounced such a hard sentence upon you. However, he Is not infallible, and may be mletaken. To me, your father, your word is sufficient. No matter how much the world may accuse you, my heart can never be misled.” “Thank heaven! You at least do not doubt me. The day shall surely coma when my innocence will be clearly established.”

Then he narrated —but did not mention his love for Beatrice and Marsden’s severe refusal, with which his parents were well acqualnted-r-the little comedy he and Beatrice had enacted. “Yourilid not act very prudently, my son,” remarked the father with n smile. “With a man like Marsden, besides being your superior, you should not have dared 6uch a risk.” “I fully understand it; but alas! it le too late now. Marsden was informed in pome way, and in order to take revenge, he contrived this cowardly trick by inclosing a twenty-dollar note in Beatrice’s letter, and after I had secured lb—believing only to find her answer —he accused me of theft to my uncle. Ha must have written down the number of the noite and gave it to your brother for identification. I will never forget the contemptuous look which my uncle cant upon me as he compared the two numbers. On account of their respect for you, Marsden and my uncle were satisfied with discharging me, without any further examination. I am compelled to meet my fate silently. Triumphantly Marsden wave* his sword above me, but the coward shall yet tremble. And Beatrice? Alas! mother, how much I will suffer by seeing her in that man’s ; house without protection, for I am forced to go “Then you will leave us?” interrupted the general deeply. “Yes; I cannot remain here any longer —but tall me, father, was I wrong in withholding our little secret from my uncle?” “Certainly not, my son. A young lady’s good name should never become complicated with such affairs. However, if time should demand an explanation, I will speak to Mias Aibenson and with her permission I will inform my brother. For the present we will have to wait patiently. But where do you intend to go?” “First I must see Beatrice, and then I will try to commence a new life at another place.” ‘>lf she will only remain faithful, Victor,” said his father. “Do you doubt It?” asked Victor, anxiously. “No; Beatrice Is ns pure as an angel; she will never forsake you,” reassured Gen. Raymond. (To be continued.)

SNAKES FIGHT FOR A FROG.

They Battle Until Both Art Completely Kxhausted. “That story about snakes having a fine regard for the property rights of each other was all right, and I was glad to know that some one would put In a good word for the snakes,” said a man from one of the parishes in tha New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat, “but as much as I would like to believe la these fine ethical refinements in connection with reptilian life, I recall one instance which seems to mar at last a portion of the theory with respect to the snake’s fine sense of justice. One of the fiercest battles I ever saw was between two snakes, and the stake was a small frog, a measly little frog that wasn’t really worth fighting for. The fight was in a clear break In the edge of the Louisiana marsh and I had a good, uninterrupted view of the event. "My attention was attracted to the combat by tbe swirl and splash of water. Did you ever see a whirlpool playing along a dusty surface? Did yon ever see a comic paper’s picture of a cat fight? Well, that was the way the fight between the snakes Impressed me. The water was spraying around in tbe form of an eddy and It was some little time before I could get a glimpse of the snakes. Whether they were trying to drown each other, choke each other, or what they were trying to do I cannot say. But I never Baw a fiercer tempest in a small area. “I did not know what the trouble was until the subsidence set in, until the snakes had reached the point when they could do no more than lash with their tails and bias at each other. Finally one of them broke and scuttled toward the bank with the other hissing defiance at him. When the scuttler had disappeared In the weeds at the edge of the water the conqueror, more dead than alive as a result of the conflict, swimming a distance of some five or six feet, grabbed the little frog which bad been tbe innocent cause of all the trouble. “Which snake got the frog first, of course, I do not know, but I am justified In thinking that the frog wan the cause of all the trouble. Of course, I am not positive that they fought over tbe frog, but that was tbe tmprneelnm I got at the time and tt was the only apparent excuse for the display of belligerency."

GEN. LEONARD WOOD.

To Whoa* Recent ■ vents Havre BrngM Doable Prominence. , A combination.of events has served to give doable prominence recently to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, whom the Presi-

dent has appointed to a major genera 1ihip and placed in direct line for the chief post in the United States army. While the Senate was considering the question of his confirmation, he was active on the isl- ' and of Jolo, in the I Philippines, endeavor- , ing to restore order among the Moros, who resented the attempt to establish a military government

over them. The landing of troops under Wood’s direction Nov. 12 led to a conflict in which 800 Moroa were killed. A Washington correspondent asserts that no event In a’rmy circles in many years has provoked so much criticism as the appointment of Gen. Wood, a comparatively young man in the service, to a position superior to those of many of the veterans of the army. It makes the former physician and Rough Rider second iu command oLths United States forces, under the army reorganisation. To this there has been vigorous opposition on the part of many Senators, the most determined enemy of Wood being Senator Hann*. The basis of Hanna’s hostility toward Wood is also the ground of the investigation now going on with reference to his conduct as military governor of Cuba. It will be remembered that Major

Estes G. Rathbone, formerly director general of the Cuban posts, was ac-l ensed of dishonesty In handling the postal revenues, and, upon being found guilty, was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of |35,000. Rathbone was eventually released under the

amnesty granted all Americans imprisoned in Cuba when the island became an indepeudent republic, but he was not satisfied with liberty. He insisted that he had been wronged by Gen. Wood, then military governor, and was bound to have vindication. He alleged that Wood influenced the judges, who were his appointees, and also authorized the admission of improper evidence. He has also mode charges of a grave nature against Wood, aside from those relating to his own case. Rathbone asserts that he was made a sort of Dreyfus in the postal revenue cases.

HINSHAW IS RELEASED.

Indiana Minister Bervina Life Sentence Out on Parole. Rev. William E. Hinshaw was released on parole Friday from the Northern Indiana prison, where he has been serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife. This is probably tho closing chapter in one of the most sensational domestic tragedies that ever occurred in Indians. In 1805 Hinshaw was the pastor of the Methodist Clfiirch at Belleville, Hehdricks County. He was a pulpit orator of much ability, and had many friends among the members of all denominations. On the night of Jan. 15 he preached to a country congregation. About 1 o’clock the next morning the people of Belleville were startled by a «cry of murder, aud when they reached the parsonage they found Hinshaw in the yard bleeding from a bullet wound in the aide and a number of knife cuts. His wife, Thurza, was lying in the kitchen doorway with a bullet in her brain. The minister said he had been awakened by a pistol shot as Mrs. Hinshaw exclaimed, “Oh, Will, I’m ehotl” Hesprang from the bed and grappled with one of two men in the room, and Mrs. Hinshaw engaged in a struggle with tbe other one. The fight was through the house into the street, where the man who had been struggling with Mrs. Hinshaw appeared and fired a bullet into the minister’s side. The men then escaped. The furniture in the house gave evidence of a struggle. The next day the minister’s revolver and razor were found In the yard. These facts excited_suspicion. Tke grand jury subsequently took the matter up and Hinshaw was indicted. After sentence his friends began to work for his release. Governors Matthews and Mount were appealed to for a pardon, and both refused to grant it. Many still believe In Hinshaw’s innocence..

BECEIVER FOR ZION.

DOWIE AND Htß MUNICIPALITY CALLED BANKRUPT. Federal Court Pate Caatodleno la Churns of All the Property of "Bitjob the Heeterer”—Towa le Pelaed— Defeadaat Alienee He Ie Solvent. What looked to the outside world liko the end of the economic experiment of John Alexander Dowie at Zion City, 111., but what Dowie himself declared to be only the glancing blow of malicious enemies came Tuesday afternoon when Judge C. C. Kohlsaat of the United States District Court in Chicago ordered him to appear before him on Dec. J 1 and show cause why he should not be adjudged a bankrupt. Receivers were appointed immediately and at 10 o’clock Tuesday night they took Zion City and ail its industrial enterprises into custody. The order of the court was read to Dowie himself, a custodian was placed at Shiloh cottage, and the surrender both of his own papers and those at the bank was insisted upon. Frederick M. Blount, cashier of the Chicago National Bank, aud Albert Dean Currier, of the law firm of Boutell, Currier & Freeman, were named as the receivers. The court action took place at 6 o’clock. By 8 o'clock they had qualified by filing their bonds for 8100,000 and were on their way to Zion City with a heavy escort of United States marshals, constables and lawyers. Email Debts Cause Crisis. Three creditors, with a total of claims to only $1,169, forced Dowie into the hands of a receiver. They were the H. B. Smith Machine Company, of Smithviile, N. J., with a claim of $401; Elizabeth McCrimmon, of Batavia, 111., wilh a claim of $669; and Meyer & Wenthe, of Chicago, with a claim of SIOO. The attorneys for these three creditors were obliged to appear twice before ’Judge Kohlsaat before he would grant their petition. Early in the afternoon he held that Dowie should be notified before such action was taken. At the second hearing, however, the argument was made that such n notice would act against the rights of the creditors, giving Dowie a chance to conceal assets. The appointment, accordingly, was made.

Dowie knew that the receivers and their aids were coming, however, an hour before they arrived. He talked over the long distance telephone to Chicago, saying he would take no step in opposition to the officers of the law, though he considered the court action an outrage. "This is not law,” he said. "This is a midnight marauding party.” He declared that Zion City was thoroughly solvent, that all claims presented would be paid, and that his attorneys would appear in court to get relief from the receivership. “We will take action the first thing in the morning,” he said, vitriolically, “to rid ourselves of these bandits.” The lawsuits of the last month against him—the joint causes of tho present disaster —he characterized as “wicked, and malicious, and shameful actions, brought to produce a ruinous condition.” The debts of Zion, he asserted, did not reach one-fifteenth of Its assets. Has Re Reached Hia Waterloo? “The public, however, without questioning the assumption that the assets of Zion far outbalanced its debts, will believe that Dowie and Dowieism have reached the field of their Waterloo,” said one of the attorneys in the case. “The lack of cash is the insurmountable obstacle to the restoration of the community to sound financial standing. The property itself, however valuable, cannot be turned profitably into money. Only money can pay Dowie’s debts to the satisfaction of his shrong of creditors. That the city of Zion can be kept intact under the powers of receivership is impossible.” Overseer Jane Dowie is abroad and thus one source of advice and comfort Is lacking to Dowie. Rumors have been current for a month that most of the tangible assets of Zion, outside of real estate, went along with her, and are now outside the jurisdiction of American courts. Attorney Jacob Newman, for the plaintiffs in the present case, Intimated that this might be true. Dowie intends to go abroad the first of the year. The Yew York trip of the restoration host looms np as the Moscow in the career of this Napoleon of religion. The defeat there was not only religious but financial. The failure aroused the distrust of Dowie’s creditors. Within a month after his return nearly forty suite were filed against him.

THE INCREASE IN SUICIDES.

More Persona, Here end Abroad, Are Yearly Taking Their Lire* t A rapid increase In the number of sulcldee in New York City in proportion to the population is shown by the health department statistics which hare just been public. In 1892 14 perrons took their lives out of every 100,000 inhabitants. In 1902 there were 22 suicides to each 100,000. This rapid increase is in line with a tendency noticeable not only in cities but also in rural districts in much tbo larger part of the civilised world. It has not gone so far as yet in New York, however, as to bring the annual suicide rate to as high a point as it reached in some European cities. In Dresden, for instance, the rats is B 1 per 100,000 inhabitants. In Paris It is 42; in Berlin, 36; in Vienna, 28; in Stockholm, 27; in London, 23. The lowest rates reported from any of the large European cities are >om Lisbon and Madrid, with only 2 and 3 suicides per 100,000 per annum respectively. The statistics showing the increase in the rate in the main European countries are Tery significant. In France, for instance, as against 15.7 per 100,000 inhabitants 25 years ago the rate is now 22.4. In Germany the increase is about the same, and in Belgium only a little less. Austria increased by 8.9 per 100,000, Hungary by 2.7, England by 1.5, Scotland by 1.8. Russia showed no increase. These are die rates for tbs entire population of the countries named, and not merely for the cities, where the increase has been in general aiach moss rapid. _
