Twenty-four hours luter was to Hue

very glad to feel that he possessed
$300 of good money with which to set
himself up in business in u booming
little western city that he had lu

As Johnny shaded off a letter lie felt
the staging tremble slightly as some
one put a foot oa the ladder below;
Johnny looked to see who might be
the intruder.
“Hello,” Hold the man who wns com-
ing over the side of the staging; he
was a six-foot one-inch tuan, whom
Johnny had never seen before.
“Hello!” said Johnny.
The six-foot one-inch man stepped
close to Johnny.
“Got a bit of hard cash handy, my
friend.?” he asked.
Johnny saw a peculiar glint In the
stranger's eyes; he noticed further
that the shade of one eye differed very
slightly from that of the other, sc
slightly that it was probably not gen-
erally noticeable.
“Thirsty?” asked John, putting a
htind to his change pocket for a dime.
The six-foot one-inch man put out a
strong hand and gripped Johnny’s col-
lar.
“I am in need of your roll,” he safd.
briefly.
Being a decidedly undersized speci-
men of humanity, Johnny could not
protest* effectively against the grip of
the six-foot one-inch man, and their
position on the slender staging for-
bade any such protest which he might
have attempted on terra Anna.
“I* am In. need of greenbacks, and I
want your little roll,” said the six-foot
one-inch man.
Johnny felt the hold on his collar
tighten, then he was lifted from his
footing on the staging and swung out;
his feet wriggled convulsively for a
moment and he looked down.
Sixty feet below he saw the brick
pavement gleaming red in the morning
sunlight, and for the first time in his
30 years of living Johnny's stout heart
quailed. From some seemingly re-
mote distance a low voice was com- ht?na gown is the place card for a

Family Together.
In country houses it Is becoming
more and more fashionable to use
chimes or gongs of some sort to sum-
mon the family at meal times. Often
the different members are scattered,
some on porches or out in the grounds
others in their rooms, and it is almost
impossible for a maid to announce
“Dinner is served” to each one.
Many attractive chimes or gongs are
now provided which are both more
musical and less palpable than the old-
time dinner bell. Most of these chimes
are of Japanese origin and are gener-
ally ornamental arrangement of gongs
and bells attached to rods or cords of
board which can be hung.
A fascinating variation seen recent-
ly could be stood on a buffet or on a
small table Just inBlde the dining-

Mystery Surrounds Whereabouts of
Leon Ling, Slayer of the Pretty
American Girl Who Refused
His Hand.
New York.—After a bit* of police
flurry yesterday, an hour or two of
unverified reports and telephoning
between cities, the murder of Elsie
Bigel, daughter of Paul Slgcl of this
city, and granddaughter of Major
General Frantz Sigel, of Civil war
fame, resolved Itself Into an unsolved
crime again last night.
Chung Bln. who formerly occupied
a room adjoining that whj*re the girl's
body was found, is held by the police
at Amsterdam, N. Y., but what has
been learned from him has not served
to clear up the case.
At Schnectady, the Chinaman ar-
rested yesterday, at first thought to
be Leon Ling, or William L. Leon,
who Is sought as the girl's murdered,
pretty well established that he Is not
the man. The case, aside from de-
velopments In New York yesterday,
is about where it was when Elsie
Sigel’s body was found In the trunk
in a room over the Eighth avenue
chop suey restaurant late Friday
night.
While the authorities up-state were
putting the two Chinamen through
an Inquisition, Sun Leong, keeper of
the restaurant, was being questioned
at police headquarters here. Sun
Leong disappeared on the night the
body was found, but ho quietly and
calmly surrendered himself early yes-
terday. He is being retained as a
material witness, but his voluntary
surrender is taken to mean that he i3
not implicated In any way in the
crime.
Early yesterday afternoon the New
York police had been communicated
with by the police at Schnectady, and
even before the final decision was
reached there last night that the
Chinaman held was innocent, had
come to the conclusion that he was
not Leon Ling.
Although the mission in Chinatown,
where Elsie Sigel formerly taught,
has been closed, a meeting of Chinese
who have been converted to Chris-
tianity was held In a Dover street
mission yesterday afternoon, to dis-
cuss plans for raising a fund to be of-
fered as a reward for the capture of
Elsie Sigel's slayer.
Jealousy Prompted Act.
Theories as to the motive for the
murder all coincide on the jealousy
of Leon Ling. That he killed her be-
cause of her apparepnt friendship for
Chu Gain, who is detained as a ma-
terial witness, is the predominating
belief.
Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the most
prominent member workers in China-
town, said:
“I knew Chu Gain, who is under ar-
rest," very well. He is one of the few
Chinamen whom I would trust with
my life. Mrs. Sigel and Elsie also
knew him for many years. They
were introduced to him through an
uncle of his.
“I believe that Elsie was in love
with Chu Gain, and would have mar-
ried him but that he would not mar-
ry her.
“Within the past year, despite her
love for Chu Gain, Elsie became ap-
parently Infatuated with Leon Ling.
But I think it was only a flirtation.
He, I knew, asked her to marry him
but she refused him. In fact, she told
me that she refused him. Her mother
knew all about it.”

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash geods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau-
ty. Home laundering would be equal-
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.
Her Decision and His.
An earnest stage aspirant dra-
matically announced to the manager
that unless she could obtain, an en-
gagement she would kill herself. To
quiet the lady the manager agreed to
hear her recite. •
He listened for a few minutes. Then
he unlocked a drawer in his desk
and handed her a revolver.—Lippin-
cott’s. _
Witli a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt-
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron. ___

Arrests Made in St. Louis.
St. Louis.—Four Chinamen were ar-
rested here last night by the police,
who hope to capture a man suspected
of killing Miss Elsie Sigel in New
York. Two of the suspects gave the
names of Gon Yon and Charlie Loam
Mon. They said they lived in Chica-
go, and told the police they came here
to purchase merchandise. Two of the
suspects were released late last night.
The Chicago Chinamen were placed
in the hold-over for the night. They
gave the officers names of persons in
Chicago who could identify them.
Chinese Legation Is Active.
Washington, D. C.—Orders were is-
sued by the Chinese legation here
yesterday to Chinese consuls through-
out the United States to do all In
their power to assist in the appre-
hension of the murderer of Elsie Sigel.
Those in New Y’ork and San Francis-
co particularly were ordered to exer-
cise great vigilance. It ts pointed out
that the world should be shown that
the Chinese in this country are not
banded together to protect one an-
another in crime.
