JUDGE BRADWELL IS DEAD CHICAGO PIONEER AND LEGAL EXPERT PASSES AWAY. Taking Anstruther down with hlra he whispers: "Besides, did you i otice whenever she looked at you she swooned again. Best keep away until you learn the true reason of this sudden attack." "Do you think It Is heart disease?" asks Edwin, distractedly. "Not the kind you mean. I can tell you that your bride Is as normally healthy as any woman In the world," answers the American.

"It was some shock to the brain or nervous system, I think. The question is, what was It?" "Can it have been anything connected with that horrible Island?" queries Edwin, anxiously. "That I'm now about to attempt to discover," observes Burton. Meditating as to wnat the blow is, Barnes leaves the young English officer and comes upstairs, to Interview the only witness he thinks available the adolescent Maud. As he reaches Lady Chartris' parlor, that lady's door is slightly open, and words issue to him that make him pause outside the entrance.

"Now, Maud," says Ldy Chartris, sternly, "what caused Mr. Anstruther to faint? You were alon with her." "Ma, I didn't do it! Sur. I didn't!" falters the girl. "The truth, or I shall talw you to my bedroom. You know hat will happen to you there, If you don't tell me everything." The voice of the mother suggests awful possibilities.

"Yes, ma, I will; I'll tell you every blessed thing don't look at me that way. Why, I was just walking round with Marina and I left her for a minute and a gentleman, French and Italian mixed, said 'You are with Madame He stumbled over the name, and I answered proudly Marina looked awfully fetching 'You bet, she's my cousin by Then he said: 'Give her this, with my and handed me a note. Well, I gave it to Marina and that finished her." "Finished her?" "Yes, she kind of read It In two pieces. First she drew up and looked like like you when you think you've caught me In something awful strong, savage and horrible. And when she read the second part, then she looked like I look when I'm going to catch it." "And then?" Lady Chartris' voice is intense with excited curiosity.

"Well, then Edwin came 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 I know anything more?" "Oh!" exclaims Lady Chartris, In extreme disappointment. A moment after she adds, suavely: "You will have no lessons to-day, Maud." "Bully!" ejaculates her offspring In wild delight; but sets up a stifled howl as her mother continues: "You can spend the day In bed." "For what? Handing Marina a paper that anybody would give her?" "For running away from your new governess on the Qual Jollette. Miss Marston reported it. To bed at once!" The face of the 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, Maudle, run downstairs and I'll follow you and we'll buy some marrons glaces together." Maud is half-way down the first flight before the last of Earnes' sentence Is out of his mouth. (TO BE CONTINUED.) the reBt follow her from the carriage Trains are ready to leave for the four quarters of the globe; the platforms are filled with hurrying passengers. It is hard to believe a medieval ven detta can be inserted on such a Bcene. Barnes, glancing at his watch, finds they have ten minutes before the train departs: he says cheerfully but hur riedly: "Look out for the ladies, Ed win; I'll find Tompson and the rest of the baggage," and goes off to get the tickets and make the necessary ar rangements. But "look out for the ladles," Is more easily said than done.

Three jabbering porters have seized their hand baggage and are carrying it In sections towards different trains that will scatter the pieces to the west and the Pyrenees, to the east and Italy. Edwin pursues these; then Enid gives a gasp. Another porter, calling: "Aries, Tarascon and Avignon!" has pounced upon her special handbag and is rushing away with it. Miss Anstruther flios after him, leaving Maud and Marina together. Five minutes later, Barnes returns to find Edwin supporting Marina, whose face Is very pale, and whose 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 hurrying throng. Miss Chartris is gazing meditatively at her, chewing the blue-enameled knob of her parasol and furtively tucking something In her glove. "What the deuce has happened to her?" asks the American. "She is too 111 to speak," answers the young husband, astounded. "What am I to do? We cannot take her on the train in this shape.

She is absolutely 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 Buspicious eyes 'But as a Doctor, My Opinion Is She Must Remain Here for a Few Hours' Rest." upon Miss Chartris, who cries nervously: "What are you jumping on me for? I was only keeping Marina's handbag and umbrella, and Edwin's canes and rug, and I looked round and she'd 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 ambiguous Americanisms! What has she got?" 'How do I know?" pouts Maud, ag gressively. "She was too groggy to speak." "It can't be paralysis!" shudders the groom, trying In vain to revive Marina. 'Not a bit," answers Barnes, after hasty examination. 'Do you think we dare put her on the train?" queries Edwin, anxiously.

'As a friend, I would say we must get her away, but The American pauses. 'Mercy! You have some news from Ajaccio?" Enid breaks In, trembling. "No more news, only It Is wise to be moving on. But," Burton feels the fluttering pulse of the bride, "but as a doctor, my opinion is she must remain here for a few hours at least. I'll get a carriage.

Here, Tompson," he says to the maid who had followed him from the crowd in the depot, "help your mistress with the grips!" The two gentlemen support Marina outside the station, and Maud following, says: "Take her to the Grand, our hotel. Ma's got lovely rooms there." "Yes, it's only a short distance," remarks Barnes, "and we can make your wife comfortable at once." The whole party soon reach the Grand hotel on the Rue Noailles. Here they are received with mixed exclamations of surprise and delight and then concern by Lady Chartris. "Marina was well, you say. only a few minutes ago and fainted at the railroad station.

What produced it?" cries the English matron, after the young Corsican lady has been taken to a bedroom and a well-recommended physician sent for, Enid staying by the patient until IiIb arrival. Mr. Barnes doesn't deem it wise to go into details with Lady Chartris. You had better descend and make yourself comfortable in the cafe. Edwin," he suggests.

Burton H. Barnes, a wealthy American touring Corsica, rescues the young English lieutenant, Edward Gerard Anstruth-er, and Ills Corsican bride, Marina, daughter of the Paolls, from the murderous vendetta, understanding that Ills reward is to be the hand of the girl he loves, Enid Anstruther, sister of the English lieutenant. The four fly from AJae-cio to Marseilles on board the French steamer Constantine. CHAPTER Continued. "A wire from somebody who knew I was on this boat," thinks the American, and hastily tearing It open, reads: Burton H.

Barnes, Steamer Constantine arriving Marseilles. Ajaccio, May 26, 1883. En evant double quick! The devil is behind you. Look out for Saliceti. Details by letter.

De B. From Instinct Mr. Barnes touches his hip pocket just to be sure his revolver Is there. Then he paces the deck meditatively for a moment, cogitating: "Something must be happening 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, tossing the pieces 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!" He takes Miss Anstruther's maid, an English girl of about 20, and rather helpless In a French-speaking country, 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 Corsican bride herself. "My husband," she lingers on the word radiantly, "will be along in a minute. He is cording up our baggage, sailor fashion. 'All 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 way. Marina waves her hand to her husband, who springs down the gangplank carrying the 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 Char-tris, her high, bronzed boots more bronzy than ever, the cardinal red of her long, silk stockings that outline her 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 between knees and neck is a white muslin frock and pink sash. "Ma said I was to catch you, Edwin, at the boat if you came on it. She wants you at her hotel, the Grand, Rue Noailles. You're to look after that plumbing job in her house in London.

The master plumber Is robbing her." "Awfully sorry I cannot accommodate your mother, Maud," remarks Anstruther. The carriage engaged by Barnes is standing ready for them. "We steer straight to the depot. I thought your mother was in London already." "No, we're going back to Nice. Von Bulow is there.

Between us all, ma means to marry him. How I pity the German. I'll ride up with and tell you all about it," cries the Chartris girl, whose widowed mother sternly represses the unfortunate Maud from growing Into young ladyhood and absolutely denies her birthdays till she. Lady Chartris, has captured another husband. Already Enid and Marina are on the back seat, Anstruther steps in; Barnes likewise.

'Room for one more!" cries Maud, who springs in and kisses both of the young ladies effusively. Already the carriage having rolled up the Boulevard des Dames and passed the Arc de Triomphe has turned Into the Rue Bernard du Hois, making for the big railway station, out of which nearly all trains leave Marseilles not only for Paris, but everywhere else. "You give my compliments to your mother, Maud," remarks the sailor, trying to cut off Maud's conversation. "Tell her to write me at my London address and I'll hoist her plumber at the yard-arm." I By this time they are at the great i HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST FROM ALL OVER THE STATE. ROBBERS ARE SENTENCED Bank Thieves Plead Guilty and Receive Indeterminate Terms in the State Penitentiary Prisoners Are Reticent.

Clinton. Edward Davis and Edward Miller, the State bank robbers, were taken Into court and arraigned under an indictment charging them with burglary and larceny. When each stated he wished to plead guilty Judge W. G. Cochran explained it would be his duty to sentence them under the indeterminate law.

He explained that would be a sentence of from one to 20 years each. They answered they had nothing to say. The court then sentenced them, stating that they would be confined one day each year in solitary confinement. While aboard an extra freight train bound for Springfield the two bank robbers, who secured $700 from the Clinton bank, were arrested. The men confessed.

The arrest of the pair followed a search of many hours in which officers from towns between Springfield and Clinton participated. One of the robbers was arrested shortly before the train reached Kenney. The second was taken near Spaulding. The latter was armed with a Colts revolver and carried the stolen money. He offered no resistance and when handcuffed told the officers that he would serve his time and have plenty of money to keep him the remainder of his life.

"I have been In this business for three years, but have finally been arrested. I suppose you will return me to Clinton, and I will plead guilty. We were unable to make our escape." The first robber was arrested near Kenney and taken to the city prison, where he was incarcerated, Davis was arrested near Spaulding, and It was he whom the officers say made a confession. He was suffering from a sprained ankle, believed to have been caused by jumping from the hotel window. When he arrived at Clinton he became snllen and refused to discuss the robbery.

CaBhier Argo called at the DeWitt county jail and posk tively identified the man as one of the pair who held up the bank. The money which the robbers carried was taken by the officers who worked on the case. The bandit's revolver was delivered without trouble, and no attempt was made on the part of the men to make a fight for liberty. RETURNS AFTER 23 YEARS. Geneva Man, Legally Dead, to Claim $25,000 Property.

Geneva. After an absence of 2S years, during which he was legally declared dead by the courts of Kane county and his property, valued at $25,000, distributed to his heirs, John Lipp suddenly returned to his old home to find his wife long since dead and his family scattered. Lipp tew Into a rage at the loss of his property and vowed vengeance upon all his remaining family and former friends. He refused to be placated and departed almost immedately for Chicago, stating that he would return to demand justice and deal out punishment. The disappearance can only be explained upon the supposition that Lipp had been suffering from mental abberation, though he apppears to be in his right mind at the present time.

More than a score of years ago John Lipp and his handsome young bride were among the most prominent residents of this locality. He was a well-to-do farmer and rather a Beau Brum-mel. His farm near Platte was valued at $22,000, and he had other property in the county and also holdings in Cook county valued at nearly $5,000. Grand Jury Takes Up Policy. Chicago.

State's Attorney Healy went before the grand jury again in his gambling Investigation. Policy came in for a share of his attention. He introduced as witnesses Shelby M. Singleton, secretary of the Citizens' association, and detectives employed by the association, who sought indictments against Fred Leslie, Henry Schaefer and Joseph Evans. Each of these three was convicted this year by the municipal court under the gaming law.

Indictments are sought against them now and the association seeks to have them convicted twice and then indict them for the third time, in which event they will be liable to a penitentiary sentence. Leslie is said to have been a "capper" for "Tim" King's game and Schaefer is said to have been a policy writer for King. King is a brother of "Patsy" King, alleged policy king. These men worked for the policy game kuown as the Interstate and Springfield company, It is said. Evans is alleged to have been employed by the Indiana and Wisconsin company, which ran another game.

The difficulties of concentrating tidal power and making it available are great 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 and there are natural storage basins. Some months ago a plan was worked out for utilizing the ebb and flow of the River Seine. Assuming that tidal embankments were needed for guiding the channel through the estuary it was proposed that these be connected to the shore on either side so aB 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 other 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 would be given off during the six hours of the rising tide.

The cost of division dams, turbines and other works was placed at From this the annual cost of each horsepower was computed at including land rent and interest at 10 per but this would rise to more than $30.00 if the channel walls were to form a part of the expense. "The Devil's Bible." The volume which is called "the devil's Bible," is in the library of the royal palace of Sweden. It is a huge copy of the Scriptures, written on 300 prepared asses' skins. One report say3 that it took 500 years to complete this copy, which is so large that It has a table by itself. Another tradition says that it was completed in a single night, due to the assistance of his Satanic majesty who, when the work was finished, gave the monk a portrait of himself for a frontispiece.

The illuminated likeness of the devil still adorns the front page of the work. The volume was carried off by the Swedes In the Thirty Years' Wsr from a convent In Prague..
