CHAPTER I.—Continued.
"A wire front somebody who knew 1
was on this boat," thinks the Ameri-
can, and hastily tearing it open, reads:

From instinct Mr. Barnes touches
his hip pocket just to be sure his re-
volver is there. Then he paces the
deck meditatively for a moment, cogi-
tating: "Something must be happen-
ing in Corsica for that old Algerine
campaigner De Belloc to send such a
dispatch. Best the ladles don't see
this," and tears the message up. toss-
ing the i isees overboard. As he does
so Miss Anstruther is beside him, a
fluffy white parasol over her head.
"I think," says Mr. Barnes, "we'll go
to London as soon as possible. We
have but 20 minutes to catch the train.
Ah, here's Tompson with the valises!"
]-Ie takes Miss Anstruther's maid, an
English girl of about 20, and rather
helpless in a French-speaking coun-
try, puts her with the heavier articles
of their baggage into a voiture and
dispatches her to the railroad depot at
once. Returning to his fiancee on the
deck of the boat, he says impatiently:
"Why doesn't Edwin bring Marina on
deck?"
This is answered by the young Cor-
sican bride herself. "My husband,"
she lingers on the word radiantly,
"will be along in a minute. He is
cording up our baggaee, sailor fash-
ion. 'All atauto,' I think Edwin calls
it. Is it all ashore now, dear Mr.
Barnes," and Marina drapes her light
traveling robe with graceful hand
about, her pretty feet.
"Yes, as quickly as possible. Come,
Enid!" and the American leads the
eyes are scarcely conscious. Were it
not for the stout arm about, her, she
would fall to the platform of the great
station, under the feet of the hurry-
ing throng.
Miss Chartris is gazing meditatively
at her, chewing the blue-enameled
knob of her parasol and furtively tuck-
ing something in her glove.
"What tlie deuce ha3 happened to
her?" asks the American.
"She is too ill to speak," answers
the young husband, astounded. "What
am 1 to do? We cannot take her on
the train in this shape. She is abso-
lutely unfit to travel. She has nearly
fainted again." For Marina's eyes,
seeing Edwin, close again in apparent
despair.
"What produced it?" demanded
Barnes. "She was the picture of
health when I left her."
Here Enid runs up with her replev-
ined handsatchel.
"Do you know how this occurred?"
asks Edwin, eagerly.
"Not so much as you do!" replies
Miss Anstruther; "Maud, how did this
happen?" She turns suspicious eyes

way.
■ V.&rina waves her hand to her hus-
band, who springs down the gangplank
carrying tho corded articles and cries:
"Hurry, Edwin! Twenty minutes to
catch the Paris train."
"Then I've got you in time!" shouts
a voice from the quay that makes
Barnes start and turn about.
Before them stands Miss Maud Cliar-
trls, her high, bronzed boots more
bronzy than ever, the cardinal red of
Iter long, silk stocking!
Iter legs from knees to ankles even
more aggressively gleaming. A pert
little sunshade is over her straw-hatted
head, which is adorned by two long,
blonde pigtails tied with blue ribbons
which she flops about defiantly. The
rest of her bu'.wr#, knees and neck is
a white muslin frock and pink s;ish.
"Ma said I was to catch you, Edwin,
at the boat if you came on it. She
wants you at her hotel, the Grand, ltue
Noallles. You're to look after that
plumbing job in her house in London.
The master plumber is robbing her."
"Awfully sorry I cannot accommo-
date your mother, Maud," remarks An-
struther. The carriage engaged by
Barnes is standing ready for them.

ly: "What are you jumping on me

handbag and umbrella, and Edwin's
canes and rug, and 1 looked round and
shed got it In the neck!"
"Not a dagger?" shudders Enid. But
a hasty inspection of Marina's white
throat relieving her, Miss Anstruther
cries: "Maud, how dare you use such

she got?"
"How do I know?" pouts Maud, ag-
gressively. "She was too groggy to
speak."
"It can't be paraly ;is!" shudders the
groom, trying in vain to revive Ma-
rina.
Not a bit," answers Barnes, after
hasty examination.
• Do you think we dare put her on
the train?" queries Edwin, anxiously.
'As a friend, 1 would say we must

pauses.
"Mercy! You have some news from

"No more news, only it is wise to be

fluttering pulse of the bride, "but as a
doctor, my opinion is she must remain

"Now, Maud," says Lady Chartrls,
sternly, "what caused Mrs. Anstruther

Ma, I didn't, do it! Sure, 1 didn't!"
falters the girl.
"Tho truth, or I shall take you to
my bedroom. You know what wi.l

tell me everything." The voice ol
the mother suggests awful possibili-
ties.
"Yes, ma, I will; I'll tell you every

she's my cousin by marriage.' Then
he said: 'Give her this, with my re-
;ards,' and handed me a note. Well, I
;ave it to Marina and that finished
her."
"Finished her?"
"Yes, she kind of read it in two
pieces. Eirst, she drew up and looker
like—like you when you think you've
caught me in something awful—strong,
savage and horrible. Anil when she
read the second part, then she looked
like I look when I'm going to catch it."
"Ami then?" Lady Chartris' voice
;s Intense with excited curiosity.
"Well, then Edwin camc up and
caught her just as she was going to
fall on the floor of the railroad station,
and they brought her here."
"Is that everything?"
"Ain't it enough? How should 1
know anything more?"
"Oh!" exclaims Lady Chartris, in ex-
treme disappointment, A moment
ifter she adds, suavely: "You will
have no lessons to-day, Maud."
"Bully!" ejaculates her offspring in
wild delight; but sets up a stifled howl
is her mother continues: "You can
spend the day in bed."
"For what? Handing Marina a paper
lhat anybody would give her?"
"For running away from your new
governess on the Qua! Joliette. Miss
Marston reported it. Jo bed at once!"
The face of tlTe eavesdropping
Barnes becomes gloomy. Here is a
witness whose evidence he wants and
Isn't going to get. He promptly enters
Lady Chartris' parlor and says: "Hi,
Maudie, run downstairs and I'll follow
you and we'll buy some marrons
places together."
Maud is half-way down the first
flight before the last of Barnes' sen-
tence is out. of his mouth. *

UTILIZING POWER OF TIDES.
Difficulties In Way of Project Will All
Be Overcome.
The difficulties of concentrating tid
al power and making it available are
jreat and so far it has been used only
on a small scale and in a primitive
way, but the near future will probably
see great electric generating plants
established at favorable localities
where the tides run high aud there are
natural storage basins. Some months
tgo u plan was worked out for utiliz-
ing the ebb and flow of the River
Seine. Assuming that tidal embank-
moats were needed for guiding the
rhatinel through the estuary it was
proposed that these he connected to
i lie shore on either side so as to form
two large reservoirs, each of which
should be divided into a high water,
basin and a low water basin,
the discharge from one to the
■liber to drive turbines. The available
tide is about 10 feet. Each reservoir
would have an area of about 2,500
acres, and it was estimated that about
O.O'.lO-horsepower would be given oil
during the six hours of the rising tide.
The cost of division dams, turbines
and other works WS3 placed at $60.
DOO. From this the annual cost of each
horsepower was computed at $8.00, in
eluding land rent and interest at 10
per cent., but this would rise to more
than $30.00 if the channel walls were
to form a part of the expense.

SPECIAL GRAND JURIES
ATTORNEY MELLETTE WILL KEEP
JURORS IN SERVICE UNTIL
STATEHOOD
MUSKOGEE; William Mellette,
district attorney for the western dis-
trict has summoned a special grand
jury and will keep the jurors in ser-
vice from now until the president signs
the statehood proclamation.
In the northern district the same
policy has been adopted. The district
attorneys will hold these special grand
juries at their command for the pur-
pose of taking pleas of guilty from
persons under arrest and to return in-
dictments against any person who
shall commit a serious crime between
now and the time statehood is effec-
tive.
Mr. Mellette stated that under the
peculiar conditions now existing that
were a murder committed there could
be no way of returning an indictment
against him because there will be no
more federal grand juries, and such
persons could not be indicted by a
state court if the crime was commit-
ted before the state was created. It
is understood that in the southern and
central districts the same plan has
been recommended.

Crazed Through Jealousy a Guymon
Farmer Kills His Wife
GUYMON: After making his will in
the office of Butts & Hunter, J. M. El-

her three times with a 38 caliber re
volver and then turned the weapon on
himself. Mrs. Elgan ran screamin
down stairs and fell dead in the dining

Chicago, Oct. 11.—The Chicago Na-
tional league team defeated the De-
troit Pennant winners of the American
league in the second game of the
series for the world s championship
Wednesday afternoon. The score was
3 to 1. Slow pitching and several
slight accidents caused the contest to
drag out over two hours, the delays
trying the patience of the big crowd
which again filled almost every inch
of Beating room.
Playing conditions were improved,
the crowd numbering 21,901 as agalns*
over 24,000 Tuesday, while warm sun-
shine and the absence of the chill
breeze of the first, day kept spectators
aud players In more comfort. What •
wind there was blew across the dia-
mon and aided the play more than
it h'ndered it.
Chicago, Oct. 11.—The Detroit
American league team suffered its sec-
ond successive defeat at the hands of
the Chicago National Thursday, scor-
ing only one run. Chicago tallied five'
times, four of the runs being the re-
sult of solid hitting. Slever started
to pitch for Detroit, but the locals
took kindly to his curves and batted
him out of the box In four innings.
Killian then took up the work and
was found for three hits and another
run in the fifth.
The teams left for Detroit Thursday
night, accompanied by a small army
of enthusiasts. Games will be played
in the Michigan city Friday and Sat-

Detroit. Oct. 13.—In the first game
of the world's series on their own
field, the Detroit American league
team was beaten Friday afternoon by
the Chicago Nationals by a score oC
G to 1. It was a well deserved victory
for the Chicago team, as it played
superior ball throughout the game.
There were several errors of omis-
sion on the part of the Detroit team,
beside the two errors scored against
them which figured in the Chicago
run making. It was anything but
baseball weather. The temperature
ranged between 46 and 50 degrees:
during the game with a cold 12-mile
wind from the north blowing across
the diamond. Several times there
were showers, onft while Chicago was
batting in the fifth innings being so
heavy that it was necessary to inter-
rupt play for 15 minutes. Again in
the seventh inning there was a sharp
shower for a few moments but it did
not last long enough to interrupt the
game. The attendance was a disap-
pointment, reaching only 11,306. The
raw cold day probably had some effect
in holding down the attendance, no
doubt, together with dissatisfaction
with the arrangements governing the
sale of tickets. The Detroit team did
not show at any time during the af-
ternoon the snap and dash which
marked their playing during the Amer-
ican league seasou here. The total
receipts were $17,285.50 and they were
divided as follows: The players $3,-
334.17; the National commission, $1.-
28.55; and the D-.troit and Chicago
club owners, $3,111.39 each.
Detroit. Mich., Oct. 12—The Chica-
go National league baseball team at
Bennett park this afternoon won the
world's championship, defeating the
Detroit American league team by the
score of 2 to 0. It was the fourth suc-
cesive victory for the Chicago team
in as many days. Taking advantage
of every slip made by the local play-
ers and running the bases cleverly,
the Cubs scored two runs in the first
two innings, while the Detroit team
did not succeed in getting one man
over the home plate.
It was a disappointing day for the
local team in more ways than one.
The weather was raw and cold, entire-
ly unfit for baseball. The official count
of the attendance was 7,370. The
temperature was below 50 degrees aud
a raw wind swept across the field
throughout the game.
President William H. Yawkey of the
Detroit American league baseball club
added tonight as a gift to his players
for winning the American league pen-
nant $15,000 to their share of the re-
ceipts from the world's series, making
$36,073, which the local players will
divide. The share of the Chicago
National league team in the world's
series receipts is $.T2.960.
Secretary Bruce of the National
baseball commission announced this
evening that the total attendance at
the five games which were played iu
the series of 7S.086 and the gross re-
ceipts $101,726:50.
