CHAPTER VIII. MS. BARNES AT WORK. When young Mora left the room so suddenly, Mr. Barnes, before asking for Mt. Mitchel’s opinion, had hurried to the window and had so placed himself behind the curtains tliat he commanded a view of the street, though himself well screened from vjew. This precaution was well taken, for he saw - Mora closely examine the window before jumping into his cab,'which awaited. As the vehicle was driven away he asked his question, but he continued to gaze into the street until in a few moments another cab turned the corner and went in the same direction as the first. By* this time Mr. Mitchel had replied, and Mr. Barnes found time to answer: “You wish to take a walk alone? That means you do not desire my companionship. Well, that is satisfactory, for I believe I can do what must be done now with more facility if I, too, am alone.” He- paused as thpuglj expecting Mr. Mitchel to speak, but that gentleman could not have been curious to know what the detective contemplated, for he remained silent. Mr. Barnes therefore at once took his leave. In the street he stood still a moment, looking after the two cabs, which were still in sight. He then walked rapidly in the opposite direction for a couple of blocks, when he turned and hurried to the nearest station of the elevated railroad. Twenty minutes later he was standing in the doorway nearly opposite to the Mora mansion. Here he waited so long That, patient detect-’ ive though he was, he began to be restive'and would come from his hiding place, gaze quickly up and down the street and then hurry back to his retreat between the inner and' outer doors. At last the sound of wheels satisfied him, and he slipped behind a door, being thus completely hidden, though through the crevice he could still observe the Mora dwelling. The cab drove up, and young Mora alighted. He paid his fare, and then he did a somewhat strange thing. He looked up and down the street until his cab had turned into the avenue and disappeared. Then he went up his stoop and hid behind the outer door of his own house, exactly as Mr. Barnes was hiding opposite. The detective wondered what this maneuver might, mean, but he soon discovered. Two or •''three minutes had elapsed when a iflan slowly passed who looked sharply into the Mora house. In- * stantly young Mora darted forth and seized him, at the same time touching ■ the electric button which summoned his butler. Mr. Barnes could make out by his gesticulation that the newcomer was protesting, but Mora held him firmly, giving some orders to his servant which sent that worthy hurrying down the street without waiting

Pity and Beauty The most beautiful thing in the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the difference. . Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve-all but pity and love-is gone. The little one gets no fat from her food. There is somea ? thing wrong; it is either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that is gone. She is starving for fat; it is death, be quick! Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the fat she can ~ take; it will save her. S, The genuine has this picture on it, take no other.

to get a hat. A few minutes later the man returned with a policeman. Then there was apparently some argument, but eventually the officer went off, leading the man by the arm, despite his continued protests, while Mora looked after them with a smile. Mr. Barnes saw and comprehended all that had taken place. He smiled also. ‘'You may dispose of that man, my boy, but now you have Jack Barnes to deal with,” he mused. This is what had, occurred. When Mora left Me. Mitchel’s house, Mr. Barnes was satisfied that as he jumped into his cab he merely exclaimed “Home,” for he seemingly uttered but a single word. Mora being a man of wealth, the detective had rightly imagined that he would come to the house in a cab. To be prepared against all emergencies he had consequently stationed a cab within reasonable distance. the occupant of which was one of his spies. When he saw the second cab go by, therefore, he felt assured that, even though he might have made a mistake. Mora would be watched. On the supposition, however, that he was correct he had taken the elevated road, which had enabled him to get to the house ahead of the vehicles. That he had been compelled to wait so long argued that Mora must have stopped on the way, ami Mr. Barnes would have been very glad now for a fewwords with his spy, who was being led off by the policeman. It was evident that Mora had noticed the cab following him and had craftily , rid himself of the spy by having him arrested. That he could have any suspicion of the near presence of Mr. Barnes seemed highly improbable. Therefore the detective congratulated himself upon his success and had no fear that he .would be unable to keep his man in sight for the rest of the day. Young Mora then w-ent into his house, and very shortly after Mr. Barnes observed that the shutter of one of the windows of the parlor w-as slightly opened, just enough to enable any one within to peep out. “He’s devil,” growled the detective. “He has heard of the double spy method, feud, even though he ought to feel certain that there is no other spy had n.t»le a mistake in® mentioning the name Morton. Mr. Mitchel knew it. This explanation, however improbable, was one that it would be difficult to disprove, especially as Mora could readily w-arn his associates in the house and coach them to support his story. Mr. Barnes, however, did not entirely despair. “Then it from this house that you now think that your clothes were stolen ?” “I do not think so. I assert it.” “At last we get to something tangible. The suit w-as stolen from the house in Essex street. The murderer wore it to your home and after killing your father came out again in the same garb. So much we know. Now, what did he do with these blood stained garments?” “Ah, that is for the great detective, Mr. Barnes, to discover!” “My own idea would be that he would not destroy them,” said the detective, appearing not to notice the other’s sneering tones. “Shall I tell | you why?” “By all means.” “Because his wearing them at all must have been a part of his scheme.

“Come! No violence!” he exclaimed, grasping Mora's upraised arm. He wished others to think that you committed the deed. He would therefore prefer to have the things found.” “That is very probable.” “One good place to throw anything which one wishes to have found Is in the river. Therefore I fancy that the murderer might have thrown the suit into the river. What do you think?” Mora did not quail before this very significant speech. On the contrary, with great coolness, he said: “I think that you are mistaken.” “And why do. you think I am mistaken?” said Mr. Barnes. ‘■Because,” said Mora, rising to his feet and boldly facing Mr. Barnes, who also arose—“because the murderer did not throw them Into the river. It was I who did that.” “You?” gasped Mr. Barnes, utterly taken aback as he saw his supposedly strong evidence against this man about to be swept aside. “You say that you threw the suit into the river?” | fro BB CONTINUED.] '

THE STOLEN BODY.

By H. G. WELLS,

[Copyright, Ijjpg, by H.' G. Weils. 1 [CONTINUED.] So inhuman w-ere these faces,- so , malignant their staring eyes and shad- , owy, clawing gestures, that it did not i occur to Mr. Bessel to attempt inter- - course with these drifting creatures. | Idiot phantoms, they seemed, children of vain desire, beings unborn and for- ' bidden the boon of being, whose only expressions and gestures told of the envy and craving for life that was their one link with existence. It says much for his resolution that amid the swarming cloud of these noiseless spirits of evil he could still think of Mr. Vincent. He made a violent effort of will and found himself, he knew- not how-, stooping toward Staple inn, saw Vincent sitting attentive and alert in his armchair by the fire. And clustering also about him, as they cluster ever about all that lives and breathes, w-as another multitude of these vain, voiceless shadow-s, longing, desiring, seeking some loophole into life. For a space Mr. Bessel sought ineffectually to attract his friend’s attention. He tried to get in front of his eyes, to move the objects in his room, to touch him, but Mr. Vincent remained unmoved, ignorant of the being that was so close to his own. The strange something that Mr. Bessel has 4 compared to a sheet of glass separated them impermeably. And at last Mr. Bessel did a desperate thing. I have told how’ that in some strange w-ay he could see not only the outside of a man. as w-e see him, but w-ithin. He extended his shadowy hand and thrust his vague black fingers, as it seemed, through the heedless brain. Then suddenly Mr. Vincent started like a man w-ho recalls his attention from wandering thoughts, and it seemed to. Mr. Bessel that a little, dark red body situated in the middle of Mr. Vincent’s brain swelled and glowed as he did so. Since that experience he has been shown anatomical figures of the brain, and, he knows now- that this is that useless structure, as doctors call it, the pineal, eye, for, strange a.-, it may seem to many, we have deep in our brains, where it cannot possibly see any earthly light, an eye. At the time this, with the rest of the internal anatomy of the brain, was quite new to him. At the sight of its changed appearance, however, he thrust forth his and. rather fearful still of the consequences, touched this little spot. And instantly Mr. Vincent started, and Mr. Bessel knew- that he was seen. And at that instant it came to Mr. Beisel that evil had happened to his body, and, behold, a great wind blew through all that world of shadows and tore him away! So strong was this persuasion that he thought uo more of Mr. Vincent, but turned about fortn-w-ith, and all the countless faces drove back with him like leaves before a gale. But he returned too late. In an instant he saw- tire body that he had left inert and collapsed, lying indeed like the body of a man just dead, had arisen—had artsen by virtue of some strength and will beyond bis own. It stood, with staring eyes, stretching its limbs in dubious fashion. For a moment he w atched it in w-ild dismay, and then he stooped toward it, but the plane of glass had closed against him again, and he was foiled. He beat himself passionately against this, an,d all about him, the spirits of evil grinned and pointed and mocked. He gave way to furious anger. He compares himself to a bird that has fluttered into a room and is beating at the window pane that holds it back from freedom.

And, behold, the little body that had once been his was dancing with delight! He saw it shouting, though he could not hear its shouts. He saw the violence of its movements grow. He watched it fling his cherished furniture about in the mad delight of existence, rend his books apart, smash bottles, drink heedlessly from the jagged fragments, leap and smite in a passionate acceptance of living. He watched these actions in paralyzed astonishment. Then once more he hurled himself against the impassable.barrier and then, with all that crew of mocking ghosts about him, hurried back in dire confusion to Vincent to tell him of the outrage that had come upon him. But the brain of Vincent was now closed against apparitions, and the disembodied Mr. Bessel pursued him in vain as he hurried out into Holborn to call a cab. Foiled and terror strick-

efl, Air. Bessel swept back agala to find his desecrated body whooping in a glorious frenzy down the Burlington arcade. And now the attentive reader begins to understand Mr. Bessel’s interpretation of the first part of this strange story. The being whose frantic rush through London had inflicted so much injury and disaster had indeed Mr. Bessel’s body, but it was not Mr. Bessel. It was an evil spirit out of that strange world beyond existence into which Mr. Bessel had so rashly ventured. For 20 hours it held possession of him, and for all tho’se 20 hours the dispossessed spirit body of Mr. Bessel was going to and fro in that unheard of middle world of shadows, seeking help in vain. He spent many hours beating at the minds of Mr. Vincent and of his friend, Mr. Hart. Each, as w-e kuow, he roused by his efforts. But the language that might convey his situation to these helpers across the gulf he did not know.. His feeble fingers groped vainly and pow-erlessly in their brains. Once indeed, as we have already told, he was able to turn Mr. Vincent aside from his path, so that he encountered the stolen body in its career, but he could not make him understand the thing that had happened. He was unable to draw any help from that encounter. All through these hours the persuasion w-as oVerw-helmlng in Mr. Bessel’s mind that presently the body would be killed by its furious tenant and he w-ould have to remain in this shadow- land forever more, so that those long hours were a growing agony of fear. And ever as he hurried to and fro in his ineffectual excitement innumerable spirits of that w-orld about him mobbed him and confused his mind, and ever an envious applauding multitude poured after their successful fellow as he w-ent upon his glorious career. , [TO BE CONTINUED.] j

TO CURE THE GRIP.

Advice of a Famous Physician. First and foremost REST. Take care of yourself. Your already weakened nerves want rest, and must have it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatalities result from neglect of this precaution than from any other cause. Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs are in no condition to take care of large quantities of food. Prink plenty of pure, cold water. It allays the fiever, stimulates the kidneys to action and opens up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills. Take three doses of Dr. Miles’Nervine per day, and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time. To further control the fever, and to overcome the peculiar aches and pains of grip, use Dr. Miles’ Pain Pilis. They act quickly and effectually, and no bad effects result from their use. These remedies have beep t horoughly tested more than a million times, and their efficiency is thoroughly estab lished. They never fail to give relief. Dr. Miles’ Remedies can be so nd at any drug store, and the} are sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle or package benefits or money refunded.

Personals.

Mrs. E. I’. Green has recovered from an attack of the grip at Canaseraga, N. Y., by the use of Dr. Miles’Tain Pills. Among the victims of the grip epidemic now so prevalent, K Coyle is now recovering at Canton, O , by the use of Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pills. W. E. Nihells, of St. Louis. Mo , who was down with the grip, is reported much improved. He used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pills. The friends of Mrs. L, Denison will be pleased to learn of her recovery from grip at her home at Bay City, Mich., through the use of Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pills. Everybody says that J. W. Udy is looking splendid since his recovery from the grip at his home in Des Moines, lowa. They all know that Dr. Miles’ Nervine was what cured him. Prosecuting Attorney, Charles L. DeWaele, who has passed the three-score mile stone, had a time with the-grip; but when seen at his home in Roscommon, Mich., the other day, he said Dr. Miles’ Nervine was what cured him.At nearly three score and ten Mrs Galen Humphrey was fighting against odds when the grip attacked he-; but she took Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and now her neighbors in Wareham, Mass., remark how well she is looking. After an illness of five weeks from the grip, Mrs. Harriett Jackson is again about and looking fine. She began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine after the fourth week. Her home is in Bowling Green, Mo. ■ ~ i. “Failing to find relief from the grip with old methods, I took Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills, Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills and was permanently cured.” —Gust. Egan, Jackson, Mich. “After suffering for two months from a severe attack of grip I found quick relief and I lasting cure by using Dr. Miles’ Nervine, Pain Pills and Heart Cure.”—Harry Abbott, ' Cincinnati, Ohio. “Grip made me verv weak and nervous with tightness of chest and headache. Dr. Miles’ Pain Pillsand Nervine gave me quick re ief.” Mrs. Clarinda Butler, W. Wheeling, 1 Ohio. '

In Union. The winter Is tniH, Yet the snow is piled And the rabbits are wild, In Union. The fanner sells old rails, And ships his hay in bales, While the hunter shots the quails, In Union. Smoothe gravel makes no jar, So the people near and far, Are hauling grain to Parr, In Union. They have miles of underdrain, To counteract the rain, And raise fields of golden grain, In Union. Since the great campaign is o’er, And peace restored once more, They seem as happy as before, In Union. They fully understand, How to farm the low muck land, And utilize the sand, In Union. While the farms art* good as new, There is plenty of work to do, So they’re rushing things right through In Union. As to grain, stock and feed, I really think indeed, The farmers take the lead, In Union.

Hicks for February.

The storm period in February is central on the fourth, covering the 2d to 7th. About Sunday, the 3d to the 7th, will be central days for a marked disturbance. The first stages will be warm in most sections, with low barometer and rain and thunder southward. High gales with possible danger need not surprise in southern and central sections, but the period will culminate sleet and snow, a high barometer and rushing blizzardous winds down from the northwest. Wintery, disagreeable weather will follow after these storms quite up to the reactionary storm days central on the 10th and 11th. On and about these there will be marked changes to falling barometer, warmer weather and more storms of rain and snow. Another decided change to colder, with high barometer and northwest winds, will result at the close of these reactionary storms. The next regular storm period ex tends from the 14th to the 18th. The disturbances beginning about the 16th, 17th, and 18th will not subside unti] after the 19th and 20th, and that some very heavy, tropical storms are probable, especially in the south, during these general and prolonged disturbances. The -hardest storms may be expected from about Monday, the 18th to Wednesday, the 20th. Continued unsettled weather, with squalls of lain and snow will likely prevail into and through the reactionary storm days, 21st to 22d, after which very wintery temperatures for the season may be expected very generally. The closing storm period fjr February itcentral on the 27th. The month goes out with falling barometer, higher temperature and rain and snow advancing trim western and northwestern extremes. The storms of this period will culminate about Friday and Saturday, the Ist and 2nd of March, in central and eastern parts of the country.

Recoveries from Grip.

Mrs. E. I. Masters, at her home in Monitor, Ind., used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pills to cure after effects of the grip. Mrs. A. E. Lopeer, in the little town of Modelia, Minn , used Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills and Nerve and Liver Pills and was well in a few days. President McKinley is slowly recovering from grip and its after effects. George J. Flannery was relieved of the awful pains in his head in fifteen minutes, by the use of Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills. Now he is rapidly recovering at his home in Buffalo, N. Y. Speaker Henderson is again in his chair in the house of Representatives after a severe attack of the grip. J. C. Helfrey, foreman at the Westinghouse factory in East Pittsburg, had a severe attack of grip, but he used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pain Pills and was soon back in his place. Rev. C. Body was in a serious condition at his home in St. Paris, 0., but Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills pulled him through all right. •‘I had grip three months; could not sleep; pain all over and headache very bad. Dr. Miles’ Nervine, Pain Pills and Liver Pills made me well.”—Mrs. E. C. Bowlby, Waterloo, Ind. “My stomach was affected by grip and I could eat nothing but crackers and milk. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Pain Pills and the trouble disappeared.”—Mrs. J. Lindsey, Montrose, Minn. “When I was prostrated with grip and my heart and nerves were in a bad shape, Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Heart Cure gave me new life and health.”—Mrs. Geo. Colie. Flgin, 111. I had been in bed three weeks with grip when my husband brought me Dr. Miles’ Nervine, Pain Pills and Nerve and Liver Pills. I was cured,” —Mrs. J. Reinier, Franklin, Ind. ‘ 'When the grip left me my nerves and heart were badly effected; but I begin taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Heart Cure and was soon all right.”—Wm. Roericht, Eau Claire, Wis. “I was given up to die from heart and nervous troubles caused by grip. Six bottles each of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and Nervine cured me.”—Mrs. John Wollett, Jefferson, Wis.

LAW WILL BE TESTED.

Jurisdiction of Superior Court Questioned. The following is from the Indianapolis News: The law passed by the legislature of two years ago, establishing a superior court at Hammond, will soon be tested. George W. Lawrence, sheriff of Lake county, has, since the law went into effect, taken the prisoners demanded from the Crown Point jail to Hammond for trail. Until recently he never presented a bill for these services, but a short time ago he presented one on the basis of the fees and mileage allowed for taking prisoners to the state prison or reformatory. The bill was refused by the county commissioners, who say the law contains no provisions for the expense of trans porting prisoners from Crown Point to Hammond, and Sheriff Lawrence will test the law. The law will also be attacked by Peter Crumpacker, a brother ot Representative Crumpacker, who is attorney for Mary E. Jackson, a physician of Hammond, who is under indictment on a serious charge. He will ask that the indictment be quashed on the ground that the law makes no provision and does not confer any authority on the Hammond court for calling a grand jury. The indictment against Dr. Jackson was returned by the Hammond court. Should his contention be sustained, it will affect many cases and some of those in this court are now serving terms in the state prison.

A NEW CROP.

Raising Checks Proves a Profitable Industry. Wheatfield Telephone. Some smooth individual has netted himself several hundred dollars re cently by raising checks issued by B. J. Gifford orthose having authority to issue them in his interest. His checks are all printed on tinted paper and the person doing the work has used acid to remove the original figures, usually small amounts, and substituted amounts of a hundred dollars and upward. Although the action of the acid discolored the paper slightly where applied, the scheme was not detected until several hundred dollars had been obtained in this manner. It is believed the guilty parties are now far away, still it may be well enough to scrutinize very carefully any of the Gifford checks whiph may come to you.

Oldest Citizen Dead.

Jainea Culp, the oldest citizen of Jasper county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T. A. Jacks, at Lee, last Sunday. His age was 90 years, 4 months and 4 days. His death was caused by grip and old age. The funeral was conducted by Rev. B. F. Ferguson at the Lee school house Tuesday forenoon, interment taking place at the Osborne cemetery in Hanging Grove township. Deceased was born in Hampshire county, Va. Sept. 30, 1811. He came to Jasper county in October, 1851,-and has since made this his residence. He leaves two children, Edward W. Culp, of Carpenter township and Mrs. Harriett A. Jacks, of Lee. Two other daughters died before him. He was a member of the M. E church at the time of his death, and was previously for a long time a member of the United Brethern church.

Trustees “Want the Earth.”

The State Association of Township Trustees has prepared a bill which will be inttoduced early next week/ It provides the following compensation for township trustees: Two dollars a day for every dAy employed; $3 a year for every square mile of territory in the township; §5 a year for every school teacher employed in the township; $5 a year for every drain in the township, $5 fora year every road supervisor in the township; 5 cents a year for every inhabitant in the township according to the last census. Members of the legislature that are acquainted with the bill say the trustees want “the earth, with a fence around it.” Ou this basis of compensation the salary of trustees would be doubled in many townships.
