TUESDAY, JUNE 16 _ The Fittest __. Survives . A Serial Story = t By J. H. CONNELLY . CHAPTER XVI At the vory time of the perpetration of thiut unpremoditited but none the less unquestionable murder, and hardly moro than a couple ofblocks away from whore {t was being done, a vigil of eager expectnucy was keeping for tho coming of him who that night censed to be as mai -In a moanly furnished front room on the third floor of a big \choap flat, '' bar- racklike building, at opposite sides of & bare table, sat two men, one old, the other middle ge, 'The older seomed to have fall 40 yours to his discredit, and his igo became him not well. His goanty hats was gray and unkempt. A pair of thin, leathery, red cars, with groat bunches of bristles in thom, stood out like loosely hinged firps from the wides of his long, narrow head. Imbed- ded among wrinkles, under overhang- ing, grizzled brows, glonmod small oyes that dospite thoix age wero still keen and almost floreo with ums expression of selfish cunning and suspicion. His nose was flattened at tho bridge, but its sharp . point stood up so abruptly as to fully . expose his Intgo nostrils, which marked tho outline of atrinngle from. its tip to tho endaof his wide, thin lipped mouth. The younger man was a stolid look- ing brute, 'still in the prime of animal life and worthy of no special regard. A listener would readily have gathered from the conversation between them that the latter was tho old man's son« fu-law, mid that his wifo, Mary, had died during her father's long absence in tho far west. A rather good looking buxom gixl, 15 or 16 years old, came into the room and went out again, from timo to timo, fn tho dischirgo of her fousohold duties, apparantly paying no. heed to the talk of the mon, but look- Jug ourlously now and then at the lit- tle clock on the mantel as if wondering I git the unusual prolongation of their sit- ting. \So Diunis,\ pursued the old man argumontatively, \'the best for youse will bo to take Kitty thero an go bick with mo as soon as this business is set- tled,\ --- \I dunno.

The old man sank into silent reverie, with his beady little oye fixed unwinkingly on the Blame of the limp. After atime he roused himsolf sufficiently to growl: | \Ho's half an hour late.\ E- Anothor long silenco ensued.

The business that took himaway had been happily concluded, and he would reach New 'York on the morrow, the dispatch hay- ing been seut while he was en route. The girl's position, in view of that intelligence, suddenly became decidedly |. embarrassing. | While she felt'that she 'never, no, never, could forgive John,\ gho could not bring herself to reveal to her mother the fortuitous discovery of his shameful immorality and utter un- |. trustworthiness which she had made. She would give him up; would banish him forever, and never hear another word from his false lips. That, of coupse, was settled, but her pride for- bade her confessing that the man she had loved so well and of whom she had been so proud was unworthy of her love. - But, by a strange perversity of humor seemingly, the old lady appeared. to be more favorably disposed toward John than she had ever been before. \I'm roul glad he is coming back,\ she said, \for I find that I have sort of got into a habit of trusting that young man and liking to see him around. Of course, ho will receive your note the minute he gots home, and we may look } to seo him up here as soon is he can come, tomorrow evening anyway,\ Addie did not want to tell that she had form that note into little bits and scattered\ them to theo winds within a block of Johu's lodging, yet she could not bear that her mother should cherish |, hopes which she knew were destined to grievous disappointment, So she tried to temporize while cogitating how to meet the difficulties of the situation. \I don't think ho could do any good if he wore here, mainma,\' she said coldly. Mis. Hall deliborately put on her spectreles and starcd at her, as if she found it difficult to believe the report of her ears alone. \Since when have you had that idea about Johu?\ she demanded. ''Well, what could he do, mamma?\ responded the girl evasively. \The let- ter affords no clow. The man. cither will respond to your advertisement or he will not. If he does, no John Latham . will be needed to hunt him up. If he does not, and chooses to continue hiding himself, no John Latham can find him.\ ''I'm notso sure about that. And, ' moreover, I'm free to admit that it would be some comfort to me as well as to you to see John and talk to him.\ \'It wouldn't be any comfort to me. I don't want over to see him again. I wish I never had.\ \Why Adele Miranda Hall! What on carth are you saying?\ ''Well, I just don't. So there. And I don't care a bit.\. , And, doubtless as conclusive evidence that she did not care, she burst into tears. The old lady, meditatively rub- bing the side of ler nose with a long forefinger, pondered sua gave time for the outburst to subside. Then she said gontly and with a little trembling in her voice: \You aro all thut the Lord has seon fit to leave to me, Addie, and it makes mo & little afraid. somofimes to think that maybe I love you better than 1 should ; that I'm prouder of my noble, pure souled, beautifal girl than I ought to be, ard thit without meaning it, I may bo putting the creature before the Creator in my affections and calling down an awful chastening judgment upon myself, If I have sinned, it is through my sin that my punishment will come to me, and may God grant - me strength to bow to his will. But do not make me suffer in suspense, my child. Toll me tho reason for your sud- den chango of feeling toward John La- tham. What has ho done? Why do you say that you never want to see him i again?\ \Oh mammal\ sobbed the girl, lay- ing her tearful face upon her mother's shoulder, \I hoped I would not have to tell you, but I believed him so good, and-and-I was wrong.\ The old woman's fuce grew very pale, her lips quivered and the tears filled her eyes. She could not speak, but one arm stole around her child's form with a \caress that conveyed a mother's pardon and nualteranble love. That tenderness melted awey the slight barrier of re- serve that had stood in the way of per- feot confidence. ''When I went to leave that note where John lives,\ Addie sobbed, \I understood from the servant who open- ed the door, and who speaks hardly any English, that he had got home and was thero at the time. I thought it would be better for me to see lim, if only for a moment, so I rau up and knocked on his door, aud-and-I found anothcr girl there, a bold creature, who appear- ed to bo at home. And I never want to seo his face again.\ \And-is that all?\ \Alll Isn't that enough? That J ghould have been deccived by him sc shamefully!\ The revulsion of fecling so overcame the anxious mother that she hysterically laughed and sobbed. at once, trembling like a wind tossed leaf. Addie, who did not at all understand her extraordinary excitement, was terrified, and cried: *- \Mammal Mammal What is the matter? She dabbled the old woman's face with: cologne, filled her mouth with wa- ter, fanned her, and ere long had the relief of seeing the violent symptoms pass off in a fit of gentle weeping, and then in srailes. 4 , When again she could trust Lerself to speak, the good mothcr, affectionately patting her daughter's head and caress- ing ker, said: \Do not, upon possibly delusive ap- aramess, sactifce your own happiness, my child, by condcmmnirg unheard the DEATH OF JUDGE MAYNARD FOUND DEAD IN HIS CHAIR AT ALBANY OF HEART TROUBLE. ALBANY, June 18 -Ex-Judge Isaac H. Maynard, former judge of the court of ap peals and cx-atrorney g:ineral, died sud- denly in his room at the Kenmore from heart trouble. He was alone in his room and was sitting in a chair at the time of his desth. He had just finished his luncheon and was apparently in the best | of health. > \Oh mammal!\ sobbed the girl. man you love. When John comes, we will welcome him ard let him speak for himself, aud something tells me you will love him none the less for anything he has done.\ Addie shook her head doubtfully. She would have liked to believe in John, but she could not banish from her men-. tal vision the picture-of the yellow headed girl in possession in John's room, and said to herself that his ex- planation would have to be a very good one indeed to put him upon his former footing with her.

Morton, declining in advance the nomination for the Vice Presidency: Rhinecliff, N. Y., June 13. Hon Chauncey M. Depew, St. Louis, Mo.: Please announce that I stated to you before you left New York that I would not under any circumstances accept a nomination for vice-president. LEVI P. MORTON.\ It was stated authoritatively at Mr. Hanna's headquarters to-day that no arrangement on the financial plank had been reached, and that Mr. Hauna had neither given his assent nor his disap- proval to any proposition submitted. The statement that Major McKinley's manager had accepted the gold plank pure and simple was positively denied. Gov. Morton's positive refusal to per- mit his name to be considered for vice- presidency it is said, has greatly stren- gthened the chances of H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, for nomination for that office. It was asserted that Evans would be nominated by acclamation | and practically without competition. Both Fatally Shot. Winipeg, Man., June 13.-A Calgary dispatch says mounted police inspector Charles Godin, was shot while riding near the Barracks last night by a half- breed named Duchene.
