CHAPTER XIV.
On Monday morning the wlfole
nalrhhnrhnorf Wll alive With the
newa that- Mr. Blrley waa "to be
gold up." An execution had been put
into hie houae under a bill of tale, and
an agent or auctioneer peraon (acting
of courae by Instruction) had atuck
notlcea announcing aale -of "furni
ture and effecta" on boarda In the
front-garden. Stelnhardt knew there
would be no redemption of the bill,
but In his bBBte to be as peremptory
with his old friend as possible he had
overlooked the fact that by an act
which had come In forc In the be
ginning of that year, he was bound
to give Blrley five days' opportunity
to pay oft the bill. Blrley, therefore,
plucked up the notice boarda and
threw them Into the lane, and then
went and talked to the man In poa
aeaalon. But that afternoon I had business
of mv own on hand: I had deter
mined to settle to my own, satisfac
tion the exact spot Indicated by
Frauleln Haaa'a vision aa that where
Lacrolx'a remains . were Interred. I
mentioned the ruined mill In the be
ginning of this story, which occupied
part of a dreadfully littered little pe
ninsula formed by a curve of the
stream. More than one of Its walla
had fallen, but I had particularly no
ticed frequently in paaslng,- and had
wondered at one wall which lay as
flat as the walls of Jericho; It seemed
from the public side of the stream to
cohere as completely as when It had
been standing, except at Its outer
edges where the bricks were tfroken
and dislocated. This suspected was
the wall; and I was resolved to visit
It to see whether I could make sure
my suspicion was correct.
To get to the mill I had to pass
round to the head of the peninsula (I
wondered whether Stelnhardt had
taken' that route on his Journey with,
hta horrible burden', or whether he
had boldly forded the stream opposite
one of the aide gates to the grounds
of his works). This led me between
two old rattling mills of some sort,
past piles of lumberbroken wagons
and fragments of old machinery rust
ing away past some flourishing pig
sties, constructed of old boards and
old sacks. I had to pick my way very
carefully, for it was beset with gul
lies and holes worn out by rain tor
rents, and with entrenchments of cin
ders and "clinkers." At length I
came out upon the open space round
the mill. I approached the wall with
a shuddering bul fascinated sense. In
the middle of It. toward the edge
which had been the top, was a bolted
Iron plate, answering exactly to the
requirements of Frauleln Haas's vis
Ion. . -
My eye waa at once attracted to a
part of the wall, near Its base, which
;
:
:
was altogether unlike the rest. Moat
of the wall waa aa bare of anything
like vegetation aa a mill-wall com
monly la, but thla part waa covered
with a fine yellowish green fungus on
the brlcka, and graas In the mortar of
the interatlcea, Thla, I waa aatmned,
waa the apot. Under theae brlrks
had lain, for eighteen tnontha, the
mutilated remains of the unfortunate
lacrolx. probably at no great depth;
hence the eagerneai of Stelnhardt to
rover them with ao wtdeapreadlng a
tomb-alab as thla. fallen wall, and
hence, alao, probably, thla traitorous
growth of green. As I looked, I won
dered how much Stelnhardt would
give now to be able to move his Ti
tanic tombstone and remove bis dead!
The wall was too secure a covering!
It waa the grand mistake of a strong,
resolute and orlglnl criminal? the
enormous blunder of the bold, uncom
promising villain, entirely confident
In hie aecurlty against every risk of
discovery!-
I hurriedly withdrew to consider
my courae of action.' I began to And
that I was In an awkward dilemma.
My promise to Frauleln Haaa forbade
a public examination of that spot, yet
how routd my promise to Ixmiae, that
her father'a remains should be prop
erly Interred how could that be ful
filled without the dlarovery becoming
public? There waa another point
which gave me pause: auppoee thla
rude grave broken Into, and Its ron
tenta Identified aa the remalna of Mr.
Lacrotx. how could I show that Steln
hardt had burled them? How, then,
rould I bring the crime home ao aa to
move him aa I dealred?
I resolved to go to Freeman, and
talk the difficulty over with him. I
Lhad aeen little of my friend slnre his
return from tondon; he had been
mnrh from home on aome business
of hta denomination. Ha did not even
know yet of the anrceasful result of
our Inquiry upon old Jaquea.
I found hint In Ms study. In which
he was alwaya mot at . In ac
cordance with hta request I "posted"
him "up to date" In my dolnga and
discoveries from the finding of the
French papers In Jacque's cottage,
through the revelations at Basel, to
the discovery I had made a few mln
ut s before. He waa most Impressed
with my account of the visions of
Frauleln Haaa. He waa aomethlng of
a mystic, of the pseudo-acientiflc kind
well known In theae latter daya, and
he would turn his attention to no oth
er point till he had found an explana
tion of the Frauleln's experiences.
Ida explanation at least satisfied hlnv
self, and It certainly waa very plaus
ible. He described the phenomena
aa "magnetic clalrvovanre.' Here,
aald he, were two people who had at
one time been deeply Interested In
each other, one of whom (the more
sympathetic subject) atlll thought
much of the other: the one waa high
ly nervous, the other waa strong
willed. The strong-willed person was
In sn extraordinary difficulty. In
which he had to put a resolute strain
upon all his. resources of mind and
body and memory. In his casting
about in his excited mood for aid to
remove his difficulty, he might well
hsve thought. "If she were here!
she who has been of all belncs the
moat devoted to me! "Or. If I were
only with her. rid of this horrible
business!" Thla strong wishing, this
"reaching out of aplrlt" for her,
would sink to a mere nothing when
the difficulty of the time was once
settled, and the bond of attraction
would sink loose and lifeless, till It
waa drawn, tense again, and thrilled
again with vigor when' his need of her
returned upon him with a new diffi
culty. This would account for Frau
letn Haas's feeling of being drawn aa
If away from herself at those times
when she had her visions.
This explanation made, he waa
ready to turn with me to more press
ing points. He could not see, how
ever, any more than I could, that I
was at present likely to effect any
thing with 8telnhardt by private
threats of the disclosure of my knowl
edge, by anything. Indeed, but a pub
lie Investigation and even. that might
do little more than create a public
scandal.
"You see." said Freeman, "you have
absolutely nothing yet of a reliable
kind that can point even circumstan
tially to Stelnhardt as the murderer."
I could not but agree with him. and
assent to his advice to "wait." In
the meantime Stelnhardt must be per
mitted to pursue his vindictive con
duct toward our dear old friend Blr
ley, and hta chances of causing fur
ther annoyance and anxiety to Miss
Lacrolx. Our helplessness In the mat
ter chafed severely both Freeman and
myself. -.. ' ' a . . v, - .
"Is 4here no way at all,"I exclaim
ed, "but the way of evidence to bring
the crime home , to him ? to really
satisfy ourselves that the crime Is
his, and to make him feel that we
know It Is?"
"Have you any objection," said he,
rising aa if anticipating I would have
none, "to take my wife Into counsel;
She sometimes has a clear Idea in
her head."
- I said I certainly would like Mrs.
Freeman to consult with us. and In a
few moments she was sitting oppo
site .me. I told her the whole mat
ter, and pointed out the difficulty of
the situation.
"So," said she. "you want to get at
some way of bringing it - home to
him, as you say. If, now, you could
only hit upon something like Ham
let's play to catch the King." .
"An, yes, Hamlet! ' we both ex
claimed, - :
This was our first formative hint.
and I need not describe In detail how
from that, through aimless-seeming
discussion, and wild suggestion of one
sort and another, a plan was at
length developed. I shall but state
the result . i -
Friday and Saturday of that very
week were the days of what are
known as Tlmperley Wakes. They
had In : the past, I understood, been
celebrated with wild orgies of drink
ing, "mumming," and dancing round
and through bonfires. But this "pass
ing through the fire to Moloch" waa
no longer a pastime of the people; It
had become the dull dally occupation
of their lives. The only orglea now
known were drinking and . fighting,
and spending email auma at the
bootha of the fair. The church had
for some years exerted Itself to pro
vide other recreation for aome at
least of ' the people. In accordance
with thla usage there was advertlaed
for Friday evening a mild tea enter
tMnment, to be followed by "Orand
DlBsolvIng Vlewa." which last Free
man had learned would be shown bv
a fine new magie lantern Stelnhardt
bad just presented to the Sunday
aehool. Stelnhardt was going to hon
or the affair with his presence. Our
plan then waa this:- I would contrive
through the new curate (whose- ac
quaintance I had already made) to
vet a slant of the mnglc lantern and
ludre of the elze of Ita slides; I
would straightway go Into the town
and buy a certain number of blank
slides of that alxe. On these Mrs.
Freeman, who had a knack of auch
things, would paint the chief scenes
of our tragedy. I must then prevail
upon the curate, or upon whatever
person I could learn was to have the
management of the lantern, to Intro
duce them In order at the end of the
exhibition.
To carry out our plan with success
demanded dispatch. I discovered
that very evening, by going casually
Into my landlady's kitchen, that her
herculean eon was going; to have
charge of the magic lantern, he was
at that moment btiBllv making ac
quaintance with it. The rest of mr
task was therefore easy. ,

10NQUE UPHOLDS IT.
Oelivera Able Speech la Support ef Irrlja-
... lien Bill
Washington, June 14. In an able
peec-b, Representative Tongue, in
answer to ReproentaUve Ray, of New
York, clearly pointed out the constitu
tionality of the pending irrigation bill,
and forcibly chewed - the necessity fcr
f the legislation. He said in part:
"The constitntion confers Upon con
gress the full and absolute right to dis
pose of and make all needful regula
tions in tegard to territory of the
United States. In dealing with public
lands there is no provision of tbe con
stitntion limiting tbe power of congress
it is absolute. This view baa been
upheld by numerous decision of state
and federal courts. -Tbe absolute power
of disposal implies tbe absolute power
ofdsiposing of the proceeds of. the
lands. The pending bill is designed to
dispose oi public lands. . .Millions of
acres now worthiest cannot be disposed
of under any existing laws. This law
proposes irrigation solely or , the pur
pose of disKwing of the .land. Tbe
United States hating power to dispose
of the lands, may take such means as in
the judgment of the legislative authori
ty is best adapted for tbat purpose, i
This view has been repeatedly upheld
by tbe decisioks of tbe supreme couttof
the United States." . .f ... .
Mr. Tongue cited a number of cases
in state and federal courts, including
the supreme ocurt, to show that the
United States, with or without the con
tent of the ttatea or . territories, may
exerciee tbe right ol eminent domain
and condemn private property wherever
it ia necessary to carry out any of the
powers conferred opon the general gov
ernment. If it has a fight to dispose
of the lands, it has a right to condemn
private property and acquire necessary
water. The bill, however, provides
that thia right shall be exercised in
conformity with the laws of the several !
states and territories, all of whose
constitutions eonUia provisioni author
ixing the condemnation of water rights.
These provisions, be says, have been
repeatedly upheld in the, courts, which
also hold irrigation to be a public use.
He denied Ray's statement that the
government has no constitutional right
to apply proceeds of public lands to irri
gation. He added that this very prin
ciple had been carried out in number
less instances. ' Congress has author
ized the use of such proceeds in the im
provement of streams wholly within a
state, for the construction of universi
ties, agricultural colleges, .normal
schools, state penitentiaries, state asy
lums, mining schools, etc., and in the
bill recently parsed admitting three
new states, re-adopted these identical
provisions. His argument was received
with loud applause.

Barlow, June 14. Tracy and Merrill
were not captured yesterday, nor are
tbey likely to , be, unless, elated by
their success in eluding their multitud
inous pursuers, they become too bold
aw present a target for some reward
hunting pot-shooter. Where they are
no man can say. Since noon Thursday
they bave gone their way unseen and
unheard, save in the imagination of
rumor-mongers. Their pursuers have
given up the search. The militia re
tired earliest, and late yesterday even

that led from their rendezvous at
Graves' ranch' to Barlow, 10 miles
away, Sheriffs Dnrbin and Cooke de
cided that nothing more could be ac
complished by pursuing rnmorsaround
the country, and drove back to their
homes, Dnrbin taking the bloodhounds,
the rolling battery of eight Winches
ters and two vehicle loads of deputies
back to Salem, while Cooke drove into
Oregon City with a look of deep disgust
graven on bis sun-browned features.
Reward Increased,
Salem, June 14. The reward for the
capture, dead or alive, of Tracy and
Merrill,: has been increased to $3,000,
or $1,500 for'either man.- The reward
of $500 for information that will lead
to arrest and conviction of the party or
tarties who furnished the convicts
with rifles and ammunition remains
unchanged. Charles Ferrell, of Reno,
Nev., brother of Frank B. ' Ferrell, one
of the murdered guards, has offered an
additional reward of $100 for the cap
ture, dead or alive, of Tracy, who is
known to have killed Ferrell.

MEAD THE RIOT "ACT.
Militia Patrol Street af Pawtockei, R. I.
" Dim ta Street Railway Stik.
Pawtucket. R. I. June 14. -Bayonets
in the bands of soldiers ordered out by
the governor of the state to suppress
riotous disturbances glistened in the
streets of Pawtucket today. The aston
ishing increase in the number of law
less acts directed against the United
Traction Company, whose union men
have been on strike since June 2, and
the inability of the limited police force '
and deputy sheriff to suppress rioting,
indtued Governor Kimball to call out
the militia, Numerous scenes of dis
order occurred daring the day, and
more than a score of people were !i
fared, one fatally. , In the presence of
about 14,000 persons and the militia. -this
evening. Adjutant General Sackett
read the riot act. Tbe city was taken '
possession of by th militia. A pro
visional regiment was formed. The
regiment responded to an emergency
call promulgated by Governor Kimball,
and Brigadier General Herbert 8, Tan
ner assumed command. , In the after
noon orders were issued calling out the
third division of the naval reserve and
the machine gun battery.
Tbe most serious disturbance today
waa on the city . line. A car was
started from the Pawtncket avenue car
bonse, on which were a score of deputy
sheriffs. At Pawtncket and East ave
nues, a big crowd was in waiting, and
it was prepared to give the deputies a
warm reception. Major Majnard had
the first battalion of cavalry as a guard
to the car, the troops being divided by
platoons in the front and rear. The
deputy sheriffs were ordered to keep
their revolvers in their pockets by
Major Maynard, who said if there was
to be any shooting tbe militia would
do it.
Chief of Police Rice was present and
advised the people to disperse, and a
scssber of the striking conductors and
motormen practically endangered their
own lives by endeavoring to "prevail on '
the people to leave. Before the people
turned their attention to tbe car they -cheered
the troops. Immediately after,
however, a heavy rain of stones, bricks "
and every conceivable form ot missile ,
fell upon the electric car. : The troop
ers were hemmed in by the mob, and
with great difficulty succeeded in work-'
ing their way-oat, the motorman of
the car facing the mob and getting his
car through. ' -wrt.-,-,,.,.
When the turmoil was at its height
fully a dozen shots were fired from tbe
car through drawn curtains. One bul
let struck a boy in the neck, fatally in
juring him. This sobered the crowd,
which became more temperate. There
were no further serious disturbances
during the afternoon and everything is
quiet tonight.

Needy, Claccamas county, June 13.
Tracy and Merrill broke through the
cordon that had them surrounded near
Gervais Wednesday night and with
something like 250 militiamen, fdeputy
sheriffs, constables, city marshals and
private detectives in their wake, the
outlaws yesterday , proceeded on thier
way over 'hill and dale in the direction
of Portland. They were last seen near
this village, where they took dinner
and five pounds of bacon at the resi
dence of a farmer. Sheriff Durbin,
who alone of all the motley throng haa
been pursuing the fleeing convicts, has
kept within reasonable shooting dis
tance of them, threw out a line of dep
uties and soldiers tast evening around
what was supposed to be their position.
Then he and his trusty bloodhounds
went to Aurora to rest, for three days
of marching vigil have proved wearing
on both men and dogs. Sheriff Cooke, '
of Clackamas county, has now assumed
command, having hurried to Molalla
Corners at , the behest of his brother
officer from Marion. He is backed by
the Oregon City militia company, which
left at 8 .30 last night, and as he has
the advantage of being ahead of the,
fugitives, instead of behind them, he
ought to be able to bring them to bay ;
thtt is, if he ever sees them.
Companies F, of Salem, and D, of
