“Leaving no trace behind him.'*Sedgwick.

“No trace that 1« tangible. There-in lies the evidence.”

"Why not? Look at the ground Inthe thicket.”

“Now? Where do you expect to

It was a long wait for the worriedMtlst, in the deep forest that bound-ed the lonely road along HawkiliHaights. Ten o'clock had chimedacross ths hill from the distant vil-Uge. when he heard footsteps, and atfeCtl) from Kent, stepped out into thedear, holding the lantern above him.Th* light showed a strange spectacle.Kent, watchful, keen, ready as a catto spring, stood with his eyes fixed

“Dun’no what you mean," gruntedGansett Jim.

“And you mustn't shoot a him anymore,’* continued the scientist. Thetone was soft as a woman s; but Sedg-wick felt in it the tensity of a manready for auy extreme, Perhaps thehalf-breed, too, foil the peril of thatdetermination, for he hung his head.“I've brought you here to show youwhy.

He followed the trailthrough the brush and found thesigns of a fight. The tight took placebefore the death Here's the lantern.Take his trail front here ’

Without a word the halfbreeosnatched the light and plunged intoa by-path. After a few minutes otswift going h« pulled up short, in anopen copse of .ish. and set the lan-tern on the ground Hound like, henosed about the trodden earth.

unsteadily. Expectant of a rush, hisassailant stood, with weight thrownforward; but the other made no slight-est attempt at reprisal. Catching upthe lantern, which had rolled fromhis hand, he threw its light uponSedgwick's forward foot. Then heturned away. K»nt whistled softi.vThe whistle had a purring qualitv otcontent.

“How rgany people; two?'“Three.""Three, of course. I had forgotten

"I suppose not," replied the artistlifelessly.

“Oh. that Blair! Ye*. I believe Thave ’’

Kent yawned It was a well-con-ceived bit of strategy, and met withdeserved success Regarding thatyawn as a challenge to his vocationalpowers, the Elder set about eliminat-ing the inhuman indifference of whichit was the expression. Flood* of in-formation poured from his eagermouth. He traced the history of theBlairs in and out of concentric circlesof scandal; financial, political, social—and mostly untrue Those in which

the greatest proportion of truth inher-ed dealt with the escapade* of WilfridBiair. the only son and heir of thehousehold, who had burned tip all thepaternal money he could lay hands on,writing his name In red fire acrossthe night life of London. Paris, andNew York. Tiring of this, he hadconte home and married a girl of nine-teen. beautiful and Innocent, whosoparents, the Elder piously opined, hadsold her to the devil, per Mr Blair,agent The girl, whose maiden namewas Marjorie T»orranre—Kent’s fingerswent to his ear at this—had left Blairafter a year of marriage, though therewas no legal process, and he had r*-turned to his haunts of the gutter,until retribution overtook him. in theform of tuberculosis. His father hadbrought him to their place on Sunday-man's Greek, and there he was kept!in semi seclusion, visited from time

| to time by his young wife, who helpedto care for him

“That's the story they fell.” com-I mented the Elder; "but some folks hasgot suspicions. ’

“Quite a place, I hear.” suggestedKent.

He thrust htw head out of the doorami called. Sailor Smith, sturdy andwhite, entered and greeted Kentcourteously

Judge Mur-phy was at that time arbitrator forthe Street Railway Men's association,and in the courae of his connectionwith that body, saw the necessity forbetter protection, both for the peopleat large and for the men operatingthe cars, aga.nst wet and greasy railsHo. therefore, drafted the sandbox ordinance, which has been enforced eversince.

NEW DISSOLUTIONPLAN FOR THE U. P.

Supreme Four! Decision ForcesRailroad Officials to

Reconsider

NKW YORK, March 17. ChairmanLuvett, of the I'niou Pacific railroad,today issued a statement m which lie►uid that an entirely new plan for theseparation of that road from theSouthern Pacific would have to beevohiid. He said in part:

"The present situation is that w*must sturt a fresh suit on the I'aUrnPacific dissolution plan, and try towork out some plan to comply withthe decision of the supreme court.As soon us we have done *o we shallsubmit the same to the attorney-gen-

eral and to the circuit Judges."The original agreement for Him ac-

quisition of the Central Pacific by theI’nlon Pacitlc contained reciprocalprovision* for the joint use of cer-tain tracks and terminals In Cali-fornia. These provisions were elim-inated because of the restriction* imposed by the California commission.Provisions were Inserted for the in-terchange of traffic, and these werelimited to interstate traffic. OTVfwhich the California commission hasno Jurisdiction. There remained forthe approval of that commission onlythe disposition of lines north of le-hama. and the lease of the Central Pa-cific to the l!nion Pacific which, trom

the previous opinion of the commis-sion and the expression of its mem-bers we had no reason to doubt thecommission would approve.”

The statement then sets forth thatthe action of the commissi n m with-holding its approval of these leasesmade it useless to present the plan to

the court in St. I/mlg last Saturday,

and forced the cotnpanv to begin th>work all over

Prof. R M. Wenley, of the I'nivei*sity of Michigan, began a series oilectures on “A philosophical recall,’in the Church of Our Father. tratur-•lav evening, March 15.

"Chies In the maze of the nine-:eenth century.’’ was the title of thefirst lecture The nineteenth century

was characterize*! as the greatest eraof accumulated knowledge in the his-tory of the human race. Mathematicshad been entirely transformed duringthe last century and the science orbiology had been created. Scientificachievement had been measured andvalued by the number of useful Inven-tions which had been placed at theservice of man.

It was the practical application otscience that, appealed to the people,hut It should not be forgotten thatthere was no practical applicationwhich had not first been thought out',said the speaker. Within the past 5oyears, man bad learned more aboutthe universe and more about himselfthan the human race ever knew before. In 6pite of the great materialprogress of the century, man himselfwas practically unchanged; goodnessand sin, ignorance and sorrow werethe same today as they have nlwayabeen.

Prof. Wenley went on to declarethat the latter half of the nineteenthcentury was more philosophical thanthan the first half. It was swayed bythe appeal to criticism. Analysis wasvaluable but It was apt to lose tmeir.We could be so much concerned withthe part as to fail to comprehend thewhole. Our historical investigation,has lead us to forget the unity. Wewere at present tinderglng a period of

transition In which the old order waspassing away, and the new’ not yet

established.t March 22. Prof Wenley will take|as‘ his subject. “Tn the porches of
