In the meantime, Mr. Fox, the detective, was sitting in the bar-parlor of the Jug and Bowl public house in the center of the small village of Mallingford, which had recently become the most talked about spot in England on account of the mysterious murder that had taken place, and, of course, conversation turned upon the one topic- "It's my belief that it's one of them cases where the police are at a loss to discover a clue said one of the habitues; "not a trace of a clue is there to go uion." Mr. Fox stirred his glass of hot whisky and water with a thoughtful air. He was not a talkative man, but was generally considered a good Hstner. "The clue's simple enough," chimed ir another voice; "find the man who was last with Sir Arthur, and you've got your man it's as plain as the nose on my face." One or two thoughtful glances rested on the feature in question, then another voice said, suddenly: "Oh.

come. Joss, if it was as plain as that there would 'ave been no need of detectives and Scotland Yard, the whole thing would 'ave been over in a day, hangin' and all." "In my opinion," said another man, slowly, as he chinked his spoon against the side of his glass, "there's been more than one person on the job, and no one's tumbled to it yet." "What are you talkin' about. Crazy Ned?" laughed his companion, contemptuously. "Are you going to Improve on Scotland Yard." The man shook his head stolidly. He was a simple-looking fellow, of the usual loafer type, so common in villages, and there was an expression of vacuous good nature on his face that probably earned for him the soubriquet of "Crazy." Mr.

Fox rose to have his glass replenished, then sat down two seats nearer him. Crazy Ned had evidently been drinking, and the generous liquor had loosened his tongue. "You can laugh," he went on. "but I know what I'm talking about, what I seed wrth my own eyes." "What was it, then? Get it off your chest," was the mocking request. "It were a couple of nights before the body of Sir Arthur was found in the lake," the man went on.

"I 'ad beer working over hours, and as I was going 'ome through the woods I saw two men coming toward me from the direction of the lake; it was pitch dark, and I couldn't see very well, and then they vanished; but" he smiled slightly "It was strange their being there at that hour, and so secret like." "Why didn't you bring this forward at the inquest?" Mr. Fox said, suddenly, rising from his chair, and putting his glass down quickly. His voice, stern and' official, turned all eyes on him, and there was a murmur in the bar-parlor that showed they had pierced through his identity. "I I didn't think it important." the man murmured, sheepishly; "It was some days after Sir Arthur was found, and I didn't think of it again." "Did you notice anything about the men?" the detective asked, sternly. The dull, watery blue eyes shifted uneasily.

"No, they were tallish chaps, that's all I saw," he said, slowly. "It was a pitch-black night, and I couldn't see much, I tell you." Mr. Fox looked at him suspiciously. How much was he keeping back now that his senses were returning? The man evidently knew something, and his liberal potation had made him loquacious. "Did you hear them speaking?" he said, quietly.

Again that restless, furtive expression in the foolish eyes. "No, I 'eard nothing; they was hurrying for all they was worth." "When you knew that there had been a man who had left Sir Arthur's house on the of his disappearance why didn't you come and tell the story of these two men to the coroner?" Mr. Fox said sternly. "I was away when all that business was on." the man muttered sullenly. "I 'ad work over at Barnton for a couple of weeks." Then, before he could be further questioned, he had slunk out of the bar.

his exit watched thoughtfully by the detective. When he paid for his drink he said to the barman: "WJ-io is that man? What sort of a character is he?" "Oh, 'Crazy Ned Jakes, sir? E's all right; poor but honest and a bit of a softy when he's in drink; but "e's 'armless enough." Mr. Fox took up Jiis hat thoughtfully. There had been a look in the shifty, inflamed eyes of Crazy Ned that had prejudiced him against him and lessened his opinion of the man's honesty. As he moved toward the door Jie paused and turned back.

The place was almost empty now, the dread presence of a detective having cast a spirit of uneasiness upon the company. "You might let me see what he paid for his drink with," said in a low undertone to the "Certainly, He's not very flush as rule," the man replied "but he seems to have fallen on good times, for he paid with a sovereign, which I had to change." When Mr. Fox got outside he paused to light a cigaret. His face was very thoughtful and there was a puzzled look in his mild blue eyes. "When a poor workingman whose wages are from 15 to 20 shillings a week, payable on Saturday, hands sovereigns over the bar of a Thursday, one of two meanings is to be gathered either that he come in for a fortune or that he is being paid for some knowledge he holds," muttered slowly.

"Yes; that's it. Crazy Ned is blackmailing someone. The question is who?" CHAPTER XVII. A Face From the Dead. Dr.

Thorne soon made friends with all the people in the little country town where he had his new practice, and very soon was one of the most popular men in the place, partly account of his dark, distinguished appearance, which appealed to the feminine hearts, and also because, as far as gossip could ascertain, there was, as yet, no Mrs. Thorne, and there were not a few unattached hearts who would have gladly filled the vacant post. But though charming, and always socially inclined, the fascinating doctor went no further in his attentions. One afternoon, about three weeks after his first meeting with Judith, he returned home from a long round of professional visits. He had been riding all day, and was tired out; but as he picked up a letter that lay on the hall table, the air of boredom on his face gave way to an expression of malicious pleasure.

He opened the door of the drawing room and went in. In a deep arm chair a figure stirred, and turned to greet him. "Ah, Thorne! I was afraid you were staying out all day. I wish, I could accompany you on some of our but I should be in the way in a sick room." Dr. Thorne laughed.

"Yes, Ivan, as much as I should be in your studio. By the way, how's the picture getting on?" he added, watching the pale, delicate face of the man whom he was making the background for the vengeance that each day brought nearer to him. Ivan's face lit up suddenly. "Oh, I've had a splendid time," he exclaimed, enthusiastically. "It was a perfect day, and kept light so long I managed to get in quite a lot of work only my eyes ache so tearfully," he added, regretfully.

Dr. Thorne nodded sympathetically. "Yes, of course," he said, "they ars bound to ache, but the picture will make your name, man, I feel sure of that; you will win fame through it and vengeance," he added to himself. The artist's face flushed. "Fame, yes; but a hollow bauble for me, Thorne.

Better love with someone in a cottage than fame alone in a palace. I would willingly throw it all away just to see her once more, and hear her voice." "You will never do that," Dr. Thorne said sharply. "She is probably in another country now, and living her own life. You must put her behind you.

and devote yourself to the picture, heart and soul; make that n'l your heart:" "It does that already." the other muttered; "it fascinates me, Thorne. I feel sometimes that there Is something uncanny in the subject; It draws my soul through my fingers, and leads my fancy into strange places."

ROBBERY THEORY AGAIN, Police Forced to Admit There Is a Possibility of Truth in It, PY ASSOCIATED PRESS. ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 1. There were further indications to-day of a complete standstill in the police investigation into the shooting of Charles B. Roberts, of Baltimore, on the boardwalk six days ago.

Chief of Police Woodruff said to-day that W. S. G. Williams, of Baltimore, husband of the woman who was with Roberts at the time of the attack, had been eliminated, and It was not believed that Mr. Williams could throw any light upon the circumstances of the shooting.

The chief further stated that he believed it would be two weeks or more before development ro'ght be expected. Roberts continues to improve, it is said, at the city hospital, and there are strong chances for his recovery. Members of the police force to-day were willing to discuss the highway robbery theory practically for the first time since the night of the occurrence. They say there is a possibility of a robber having attempted to hold up the pair in the rolling chair and of having lost his head and fired when Roberts, who Is said to be of powerful physique, jumped out of the vehicle and when the negro pushing the chair went" running down the boardwalk for help. The fact that nothing was stolen has been the mainstay of the police in discarding the robbery idea.

Mrs. Williams' statement as to the resistance which Roberts proposed to offer may have had something to do with the willingness of the authorities to discuss, although they do not admit, the theory of an attempted hold-uo. Public interest in the case here Is decidedly on the wane. EXHUME BODY THAT ESTATE MAY BE SETTLED. Disposition of $25,000,000 Depends On Documents Buried With John Rupp, SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST.

WILKES-BAPvRE, Sept. an effort to establish their claim to an estate of members of the Rupp family of Columbia county to-day opened the grave of John Rupp. who was buried In the old Reformed church cemetery at Numidla in 152S. The disinterment was required owing to the fact that in those days it was customary to bury the birth and baptismal certificates in the coffin, and these were necessary as a means of proving the heirs claim to the estate. The papers wpre secured.

They are in a fair state of preservation, and show that John Rupp was 38 years old when he died. A son. George Rupp, whom it is clainfed was the direct heir to the property, is in Germany and the heirs now claim to have ail the links in the chain of evidence necessary to prove their claim.

Friction Among Roads Over Low Fares Railway Club to Nominate Officers, Contractors doing work along the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia yesterday notified the operating department that four miles of the four-track system between Newton Hamilton and Vineyard will be completed this week and will be ready for operation Sunday. The new work was outlined by the late president. A.

J. Cassatt. in connection with the four-track main line the way between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. This is practically the only biff undertaking In the way of construction in which the Pennsylvania is engaged at present. The spur track leading to the old line east of VF tower, on the middle division, will be used by local freight trains working on sidings at that point.

The new section of road is 10 miles long and extends from Alt. Union to Ryde and has been put in in stretches. The lirst stretch between Jack's Narrows and Newton Hamilton was put in service last fall, the second between Vineyard and Ryde in December and the third between Newton Hamilton and Vineyard is now ready. Two new arch bridges over the Juniata river and the digging of an entire new channel, about feet long, is Included in the construction of the new line. The digging of this river channel necessitated the erection and construction of a temporary three-track railroad one mile long to handle the traffic during the completion of the excavation.

The total amount of excavation on this line is about cubic yaj-ds, of which about 2,000,000 cubic yards was for the channel work. The depth of the greatest cut is 130 feet in the center and the greatest fill is 64 feet on the center line. The total amount of masonry is 116,000 cubic yards, the most of which was in the construction of the bridges at Mt. Union and Ryde. Trainmen Must Obey Rules.

Through a discharged employe of an Inspector's office it has leaked out that wholesale penalties, including a large number of suspensions, are impending over tiremen and engineers on the Northwest system of the 1 ennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, and especially on the Eastern division, for the failure to comply with the regulations for firing which were promulgated a few months ago. Utter disregard of the rules is said to have been fixed on a considerable number of men, and in order to make the engine crews understand the regulations are bonatide, an example will be made of a score or more of employes, it is said. The Pennsylvania employs inspectors whose duties are to board trains at different points along the road, instruct the men as to the proper methods of tiring and observe whether the rules are being adhered to. All firemen on the road have received instructions, and in spite of this complaints are coming in from various points along that line on account of unnecessary smoke. More than that, the company feels that on account of the failure to follow the rules, its efforts toward economy have been set at naught and the engines have not been as well cared for as was expected when the rules were posted.

Will Grant Low Rates. Despite the fact that the secretary of the Pittsburgh passenger committee sent aut notices calling a special meeting of local passenger officials and that the meeting was not held, special rates will be granted for the Point exposition and the sesqul-centennial. Developments in connection with the plan to give the wsual low rates this year show there is considerable friction among the roads in this district. A meeting was held last Friday, but definite action was not taken as some of the roads were not represented and others present had not been instructed as to what rates should be granted. Notices were then sent out by the secretary for a special meeting to be held yesterday.

A few hours before the meeting, notices was given that one road lvad already advised its agents that the usual one-way fare for the round trip would be given. There was nothing left for the other roads to do but to fall in line and the usual low rates will be offered again. 4 To Nominate Officers. Arrangements are being made for the first of a series of meetings to be held this winter by the Railway Club of Pittsburgh, which will be held the fourth Friday of this month at the Monongahela House. One of the important features of this meeting will be the nomination of officers, the annual election to be held next month.

It is expected that an unusually large number of nominations will be made, as the club ranks among the best In the country. J. D. Conway, chief clerk to the general superintendent of motive power of the Pittsburgh Lake Erie railroad, and seceretary of the club, will send out notices of the meeting in a few days. Interesting addresses will be delivered and one of the members will be selected to read a paper, dealing with railroad work.

B. O. Officials Meet Here. John CI. Waldber, assistant to the third vice president, in charge of operation; W.

C. Loree, general superintendent of the Wheeling grand division, and other officials of the Baltimore Ohio railroad spent yesterday in conference with local representatives. Mr. Loree was formerly located in this city as general superintendent of the Pittsburgh division. He is a brother of I.

F. Loree, former president of the Baltimore Ohio. When G. L. Potter, third vice president, took active charge of the operating department, following the resignation of Thomas Fitzgerald as general manager, Mr.

Waldber was appointed assistant to the third vice president. During the past month Mr. Waldber has been devoting considerable time to shops and operating conditions. Changes May Be Made Important changes among high officials of the Pennsylvania lines east and west of Pittsburgh which were outlined last year before the depression began will likely be made soon. It is.

understood this matter will be taken up at the first fall meeting of executive officials, which will be held this moith. It is generally admitted that the shift will be the largest made on the Pennsylvania In a number of years and that practically every division will be affected. Several new departments will be created and a large number of promotions will follow. Traffic Men Meet Here.
