A LESSON IN THE F0NTANET DISASTER. The terrible catastrophe at Fontanet. Ind.. recently should be a warning to Ihe people of this community. No plant or warehouse storing great quantities of explosives should be permitted in the vicinity of thickly populated districts. Regardless of the hardships entailed private business should be secondary to the safety of a community. It behooves the authorities of Gary to determine what, if any, extra territorial Jurisdiction it has over such highly dangerous situations and act for the safety of human lives. WITHOUT INDULGING In any post morteras. they do say that Altrock, Owen and Flene are pitching gilt-edge ball in the barnstormers' league with all due respect to Jennings et al, it will be a long time before another world series is played in a city that furnishes but a 7,000 crowd. WE ARE with you Prof. E. Benjamin Andrews. There is vastly too much indiscriminate abuse of men merely because they happen to possess large means. It is a pernicious policy and nothing but harm attaches to such Utterances. WILL, THE solicitors fees In the Harriman-FIsh controversy come out of the gross receipts, is the question now agitating the small Illinois Central Stockholder. THE FOOT BALL enthusiasts declare there is standing room only (on the Bide lines) at the games. AS TO Capt. Norton it begins to look as though that title was much more than a mere brevet. WITH APOLOGIES to Lowell, what Is as rare as these October days?

SPORTING GOSSIP goru In the afternoon the Cubs played a close game with the semi-pro teani and those present saw a game of ball that could not bo beat in any old league. Jimmy Callahan had a wonderful team In the field and Bert Keeley, who pitched for the semi-pros, held the Cubs down to rock bottom. He had a bad llrst Inning and the two runs of the game were scored in that period, but the world's champions did not do much after that inning. Overall and Reulbach were too much for the picked team and held them down to four hits, two of which were off the bat of Jake Stahl and two from Campion. The rest of the bunch did not get a smell. The Cubs had their regular lineup outeiae or i runic (. nance. ihe same j teams will play today and Saturday, and Sunday Jake Stahl with his South Chicago team will try to get away with the Cubs. Coach Stagg is handing it out to the "Maroons in , bunches about the swelled head gag that make a good team a lot of easy marks for working eleven. Too much newspaper praise is liable to work havoc amongst the college teams. Illinois is no mean opponent as the Maroons will find tomorrow. What is the matter with the merchants of this city and the garduates of the local high school, when they allow the best games of the football team to get away from this city because the boys can't pay the expenses of the visiting teams. In fact, the football team has to depend on the Income of the basket ball game to sup port It. Of course, they course, they have no Inclosed grou nas so xney are compeuea to practically pass the hat around at v rr i A 1 a should take a Uttle pride' in the local j school and come to bat with a few dol- !

Some more leading lights then came to bat, struck out or were passed and then retired. The fight fans are giving Packy McFarland his just measure of praise and now look to that youth to be the next ' v " nftiiincigiit ciminpion. to my mind ho is a second Nelson, with more speed and science and brain than the first Batling. His next bout Is with Kid Goodman of Boston at Fort Wayne next Thursday, and the kid, while a good boy, is not classy enough for Packy. The fans want to see Kid Her man line up against Packy, and It will probably be arranged before long. The Michigan team left last night for Indianapolis for the Wabash game, and so confident of victory was the student body that less than fifty went to the depot to see them off. They are look ing for at least 15 points tomorrow. The West Point team is working hard for the Yale game, which will take place Saturday. The team is as strong as last year and expects to make a good showing, but Yale Is the fastest. team in the country without a doubt this year.

I "IN the smoking compartment. which the three had to themselves, Ilurd resumed his examination of Tray. They were now on their way to Liverpool Etreet, and thence the detective intend ed to convey the boy to Pash's office, In Chancery lane. Paul sat la one corner much excited over the turn events had taken. He began to think that the assassin of Aaron Norman would be found, after all. More, he believed that Sylvia would yet Inherit the five thousand a year she was entitled to morally, if not legally. Kurd, In another corner, pulled Tray roughly toward him and shook his finger in the lad's face. The boy was sulky and defiant, yet there was a trace of fear In his eyes, and the reason of this Hurd wished to learn. "You're a young liar," said Ilurd emphatically, "and not a clever one either. Do you think to play the fool with me?" "I've tole you all straight," grumbled Tray. "No, you haven't. Any one can see that you've made a mistake. I leave It to Mr. Beecot yonder." "I was about to draw your atten tion to the mistake," said Paul; you mean the discrepancy In time." Master Clump started and became more sulky than ever. He cast down his cunning eyes and shuffled with his feet while Ilurd lectured him. "You know well enough," said the detective sharply, that the brooch was boned by you on the very evening when the murder took place. It was then that Mr. Beecot met with his accident. Therefore you could not have given the brooch to Mr. Pash the next morning, as it had been used on the previ ous night" "Sha'n't say anythln more," retorted Tray defiantly. "Oh, won't you?" cried Ilurd ironically. "We'll see about that You told that He about the time to account for your knowing of the murder before any one else did." "No," said Tray decidedly; "I did go to the shorp in th' mornin'." "That you may have done, but not to sell the brooch. Mr. rash had taken It from you on the previous night." "Ha didn't," denied the boy. "Then in that case you've told a He. Pash never had the brooch and has nothing to do with the murder." "lie did prig, the brooch from me, and he did kill the ole cove." "Well, we'll see what Mr. Pash will eay when you accuse him," eald Ilurd, "but I don't believe one word of It Jt's my opinion that you gave that brooch to a third party on the same evening as you stole it Now, then, who did you give it to?" "Mr. Tash," persisted Tray. "On the same evening?" j There was no reply to this. Tray set his lips firmly and refused to speak. DZurd shook an admonitory finger again. "You can't play fast and loose with me, my lad," he said grimly. "If you didn't part with that brooch, you must be mired up in the crime yourself. Perhaps you pinned the poor wretch's mouth together. It's Just the sort of cruel thing a young Cain like you would do." "I didn't," said Master Clump doggedly. "You take me to master, and .I'll tell him what I tells you. lie's the one." IIurd shook the boy to make him talk more, but Tray simply threw himself on the floor of the carriage and howled. The detective therefore picked him up and flung him into a corner. "You stop there, you little ruffian," he said, seriously annoyed at the boy's recalcitrants. "We'll speak again when we are in Mr. Pash's office." So Tray curled up on the cushion, looked 6avagely at the detective and held his tongue. "What do you think will be the end of all this?" asked Paul when Master Clump was thus disposed of. "Lord knows," replied Ilurd, wiping his face. "I never had a harder ca3 to deal with. I thought Hay had a hand in it but it seems he hadn't bad lot as he is, asking your pardon, Mr Beecot, since you're his friend." "That I am not" disclaimed Beecot emphatically. "There's a young lawyer I know. Ford is his name. I went to see him as to what chances Sylvia had of getting the money. He was at school with me and remembered Hay. He said that Hay was dlimissed from Torrington school for stealing." "Didn't you know that yourself?" "No; I had left the school. I wa3 ill at home with scarlet fever. But nay apparently always has been a bad lot. He and that Krill pair are well matched, for I believe the mother is bad even if the daughter Maud isn't By the way. her age?" Hurd nodded. "I believe she wai fifteen at the time of the death of Lady Rachel. If so, she can't b legitimate or may not be the daughter of Aaron Norman. However, I've asked my sister to look up Mrs. Krill's past life in Stewley, where she comes from." "But she wasn't married to Krill at Stowley?" "No. But she lived there as Anne Tyler. From the certificate she was married to Krill at a email parish church twenty miles from Stowley, so j Aurora will so- there. But I want her j

zou m dox to stop at Stowley first and learn all she can about Anne Tyler." "Beechll's the name of the parish In which she -was married to Krill before she came to Christchurch," said Paul musingly, "so I expect they lived there. Miss Qian might search also for the certificate of Maud Krill'a birth." "I told her to, and, falling that, she's to search in Christchurch. We must get the certificate of birth somehow." "Hurd," said Paul, rather diffidently, "I hope you won't be annoyed, but I have already asked my friend Ford to give notice to Fash to produce the certificate." "Well," replied the detective, "you might have told me. But no great harm is done. What does Pash say?' "I don't know. Ford has not let mo know yet. Here we are." This remark was caused by the stopping of the train at Liverpool stret station. A. number of people were returning from their employment In the city to the country, and the platforms were crowded. Hurd grasped Master Clump by the arm and marched him along. But in the confusion of finding his ticket at the barrier he happened to let go, almost without thinking. In a moment Tray had darted through the barrier and was lost In the crowd. Hurd sprang after him and left Paul to explain. He hur riedly did so and then went out to see if the detective had caught the boy. Hurd was nowhere to be seen; neither was Tray. The crowd was Increasing, and Beecot was at a loss what to do. After waiting for an hour without finding the pair he thought he would go to Pash's office. It might be that Hurd, having caught Tray, would take him there at once, leaving Beecot to follow. So Paul got on to the Metr polltan railway and alighted at the Temple station. Thence he walked up to the ofllce In Chancery lane. "Where's Tray?" asked Paul of the one clerk in the outer room, who was writing for dear life. "I don't. know, sir," said the clerk. "He went out this morning and hasn't been back all day. Mr. Pash Is very angry vrlth him." Apparently Hurd had not caught the boy yet or if he had did not intend to bring him to the office. "Can I see Mr. Pash?" asked Paul, thinking he might as well make some uso of his time. The clerk Inquired If the solicitor would see Beecot and presently ush ered him into the inner room, where ! Tash sat looking more like a monkey j than ever. He did not appear at all ; .. . at pleased to see the young man ami sucked in his cheek with a crabbed ir. "Well, Mr. Beecot, what can I do for rou?" he snarled. "You might be civil, in the first ! Tlace." said Paul quietly, taking aj chair. "You haven't behaved over j well to Miss Norman and me." "Oh." said Pash coolly, "have you come to reproach me with that?"' "I never waste time," rejoined Taul, equally coolly. "I'll leave you to your conscience Pash shrugged his shoulders and put his feet on the rungs of his chair. "I think my conscience can stand that," he said. "Ifs business, Mr. Beecot. business. By the way, I have received a request from Mr. Ford of Cheapside to produce the certificate of birth of Miss KrilL What 13 the meaning of that?" "I think you know very well, Mr. Pash."

(Continued.) CHAPTER LI. Of course the day of the concert and contillion found the boys and girl3 who were to attend in a flutter of excitement and nervous anticipation. Marshall was to lead the contijlion from one end and his very particular chum, Salvatore Armado, was to lead from the other end. Young Salvatore was a very foreign looking young man, whose home was in Naples, Italy. He came out to dinner with Marshall and at once was very much taken with Doris. Doris did not frown upon him, either, for he was handsome and agreeable, rather taller and broader than most Italians, and not at all like the Italian fruit-peddlers one sees on the streets, nor the men who grind the hurdy-gurdies. His features, Doris, declared afterwards, were "quite patrician" and he had a slight foreign accent, and a charming manner of misplacing his words in his sentences once in a while. For the rest, his English was pure and elegant. "I should esteem it a great honor," he told Doris, "if Mees Doris would lead the coteeong with me?" Doris took notice that he pro nounced "contillion" just like a Frenchman. "But I have never done such a thing in my life," protested Doris. "Ah! But eet ees most simple. I will show you. You dance? Ees eet not so?" "Yes, but I have never helped lead a cotillion." "But I will show you!" "Oh yes, Doris, please!" said Marnie at this point, having overheard what Mr. Armado and Doris were discussing. Marshall insists I am to lead with him, and I don't know any more about it than you do." "Certainly you can both do it." declared. Marshall as thought that settled the question for all time, jn this case, it proved to do so. for Dog said: "Very well, I will. if Marnie has consented." "I thank you greatly, Mees Doris," said Mr. Armado, bowing with courtly formality. Mr. Methven had bought a box at the opera house for the concert; and ,Irs. Methven had asked him if he would not take the girls without her as she would like to remain home and rest a while before the dance. Every opera glas3 was leveled at the Methven box when the two girls took their seats, and it quite em barrassed them to be so stared at However they soon forgot to be selfconscious in watching the listening mere was a good deal of visiting back and forth among the box and several young men came over and asked to be presented to Marnie and Doris. The two girl3 never looked better. Both were in spotless white

The dance was the first real late affair they had ever attended, and it did not break up until between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. All of the season's debutantes were there and a lot of sweet, pretty girls they were too. Many of them Doris had known before she had gone away to school, but even some of these had quite outgrown her memory so far as their appearance was concerned. Young Mr. Armado devoted himself to Doris during the evening and Marshall was as attentive to Marnie as politeness, in view of his responsibility as semi-host of the occasion, would allow. However, when these special cavaliers were not at their side, there were others quite as eager to pay them homage. But with all thi3 flattering attention, neither of the girl's forgot the fact that she was a hostess with her mother, and they were active in seeing to it that no one was neglected. A splendid supper was served at midnight and after that the real "cotillion" began. The dancing before this had been merely the twostep and the waltz and with the cotillion there was an abundance of got among other favors a beautiful Japanese parasol, and a dear, flowerbedecked tissue paper bonnet. In which Marshall declared she looked sweeter than he had ever Been her look before, and which. did become her mightily. It was a splendid success, and everybody went home declaring they had never had so good a time. "Isn't Mr. Armado fine?" said Doris after the guests had left. "He seems very nice Indeed," replied Marnie, a3 she thoughtfully pulled off her second glove. But she was in reality not thinking of the young Italian at all. Her thoughts were of a tall, broadshouldered young-man, who had looked at her so admiringly when he told her how "sweet" she looked in the tissue paper bonnet. "How vain I am growing," said Marnie to herself. And then she thought, "well, anyhow, I shouldn't have cared if anyone else had said It; but I do like somehow to have Marshall think I look well." CHAPTER LII. Mamie was again on the farm. So were the entire Methven family. Marshall had run up from the city for a few clays and he and Marnie were returning from a long ride into the country. Marnie was riding "Peggie" as she now called her beautiful horse. though she laughingly declared no horse was so little deserving of such
