"CARBOLIC TO BE LAST DRINK ”
Man Makes Statement, Then Kills
S«lf aa Threatened. *
"This Is going to be my lust drink
except cue. ami that will be carbolic,
boye.“ said John Jones, a teamster,
to a crowd of his cronies gathered in
u saloon near Michigan and LJvernols
ave., Thursday evening. They putd
little attention to the remark, as Jones
went from the saloon to a barber shop,
and had a shave. But he also told
ihe barber that he intended to end
his llte, and bade hint good-bye.
Nearly an hour later two of the men
in the saloon decided that Jones' re
nt ark might not have been a Jegt. and

CHAPTER IV—(Continued) 1
“You owe me something." he as
rerted. "Whether It’s much or little
1 must leave you to figure out. A kiss
would cancel the debt, —and cost you
nothing.''
His further ♦•ffrontery did not dis
concert her, now that she had taken
his measure Tie was u rogue, but his
vn> recklessness appeared to h**r.
"Tin ludebted to you for what you
have done," she said with a buttle lent
tinge of gratitude in her tone, "and
I'm only sorry you’ve given me cause
to distrust you—to the extent that 1
must ask you to gel into your own car
now aud go on, so that 1 also may
get away. I thank you, sir, for such
courtesy as you have showu me, aud,
In return. I'll count leu before 1
shoot."
"Oh, see here!" he begau, but she
had already started to couul in a cold,
cleur tone, ‘•One—-two —three —four" —
And he saw that she meant no more
and no less than Just what she said.
She would most assuredly tire if he
did not obey her. •
He was half inclined to take the
risk and chance her shot going wide,
so desirable did she look standing
there alone uuder the dim stars, her
delicate features warmly aglow in the
gleam of his upheld lamp, her clear
eyes meeting his clouded ones reso
lutely. But some reinnau't of a better
nature induced him to give in He
bowed to her with a real respect us
she counted eight, und at 10 was al
ready guiding his car past hers.
He went on a few yurds. and stop
ped, watching her as she climbed to
her seat, but made no further attempt
to annoy her.
"If everything Isn’t quite all right,
I’rn here at your service," he called
through the gloom, bus she nodded
briskly as Hhe looked back. "Every
thing's all right, thanks," she replied.
"And I’m to have supper all by my
self?" he Inquired.
"Hood night," she responded briefly,
and went her way. leaving him star
ing regretfully after her.
"She’s no snob," he assured himself
fervently. "A blue Brass filly, if ever
there was one. If it weren't for this
infernal girl that I'm going to marry,
I'd turn about and chase right after
her."
Ten minutes more took the object
of his eulogy to Jumaica, und the short
run through the lighted streets there
helped to build up her waning courage
against the long Journey still before
her.
She swept on at high speed. She
was a most expert driver and soon she
had almost recovered her normal spir
its and was enjoying her wild night
ride. She would yet be home before
daybreak, and so relieve some part of
Fanchette's anxieties.
Hour after hour ticked away with
out other occurrence, und for all her
haste, gray dawn was breaking across
the bay before she turned off the high
road on to a rougher one, slowed down
to cross an uncertain bridge spanning
a shallow salt water creek, and wheel
ed Into an almost untrodden track
through a thick belt of wood which
concealed a small dwelling beside the
sea.
At the warning honk of her horn a
door was dung wide from within, an
elderly woman ran forth with uplifted
bands, truglc eyes.
’’lt is you!” cried she in tremulous
French, as her young mistress step
ped down from the car.
"It's I. Fanchette,” said the girl.
••And thankful to see you again, aud
so tired that I can scarcely see.
You were not overanxious, were
you?" the asked coaxingly, and pul
an arm around the other as she saw
that her eyes were wet. "Now, don’t
cry. there s 0. dear. I’m 3afe, and I'll
tell you all that happened. I had hard
tnough work to get home at this
unearthly hour."
Fanchette unlocked the barn doo>*
and they barked the motor in. Then
they went Into the house.
The girl went wearily through to a
tiny sitting room and threw herself
down on a couch by the window, while

“Come, dear heart, and eat," said
Fanchette coaxlngly. She nerself had
been almost distraught with uuxlety
the loug uight through, but was fain
tc forget her futlgue in fond solicitude
A somewhat homely and harsh-featured
serving woman, this Fanchette, but
very faithful!
The girl listlessly sal down in the
place prepared for her.
"It was Jules Chevrel who detained
me." she said, under au irresistible im
pulse to unburden herself to her heavy
trouble, and Fanchette’s lace puled as
ehe crossed herself as though to ward >
off some evil at sound of that name. J
"Jules Chevrel!" she repeated, In a
hoarse whisper.
"Jules Chevrel." said the girl. "He )
caught sight of me and 1 <’f him as I |
came out of a store. There was no ,
chance to escape."
"But where is he now ?" asked Fan j
chette eagerly.
The girl did not answer jt once. She |
was culling to mind all she had under
gone.
"Monsieur Is in New York.” she
returned presently, and Fanchette
gave vent to a groan.
"Jules said ho had noon tent in .
search of me, and—and that I must go j
to ruousieur with him. Otherwise—ho ;
threatened to call the police. And I —l
wus afraid to risk a scandal. I let '
him seat himself In the ear, und drove |
him where he would.
"He hinted at hush money. He
would take 10.UOG francs '- Fanchette ]
held up her hands in mute stricken
protest—"and swear that he had not |
seen me. I told him thut \ hud only :
5 UUU In my possession, and, In the j
end, he agreed to accept that sum. |
; We went back to the bank and he i
stayed outside while I* closed my hc- j
count. And he took it all from me as
the price of silence. But 1 didti t
grudge It, Fanchette. ’*
Fanchette nodded, speechless.
"It was late then, and I begged him
to let me go at once, since he could
wring nothing more from me, but he
made me accompany him into cases. ,
common places where everyone stared 1
at us, and afterwards he Insisted on my i
drawing up at a restaurant, where he j
ordered dinner.
"1 had no option but to ohey—him.-L
lest he should create a disturbance j
At dinner he drank champagne, and i
became mote ugiy. He had a dispute ;
with the waller- he shamed me bit
terly In that place —and when that
was over would have htu me take
him back into the car. But I was des
perate then. I struck hint ; s lie would
have entered, and drove away before
be recovered Ills wits."
"You were very brave, dear heart." j
said Fanchette, soothingly, for the j
girl’s eyes were downcast us though
In shame. "You were brave indeed.
A pity the blow did not end the res
cal! But you did well."
"Then I was still further delayed,
for the car broke down on a lonely
stretch of road this side of the ferry, j
and—lt cost me some time and troti-j
ble to get i( to go again. I made all |
the speed I could, Fanchette, know- ,
ing that you would be waiting up for
uu>i but 1 couldn’t do any better than
this."
"Eat and drink now," Fanchette
commanded, "and then sleep. After- j
wards there will be time to think for
the future. We are still safe."
She hovered over the girl and press ,
ed on her the simple dishes prepared J
with such oare, restraining with u
commendable effort the question
trembling on the tip of her tongue, j
But at length the time came when
she might ask It without 111 effect. *
"And monsieur? Will he give up
the search now, ma'mselle?"
The girl dropped her dimpled chin
on her pal tnand stared out across
the sea as she answered.
"I dou’t know. Fanchette. Jules
made no promise except that he would [
keep silent himself, and —and let me
go. How much money have you left!
ip our treasury?” .. J
Fanchette went through to the tidy
kitchen and brouguV back a black |
oaken box, from which she counted !
out a handful of blllV und small |
change.
"A huudred francs Is all, ma'm- !
selle," she replied. "That Is S2O. gulte
a large sum. and enough to keep us
for sume time. I shall make ends |
meet, never fear And now your room
Is a.'l ready, If you will lie down and j
rest.”
But the girl sat where she was for
a little, endeavoring to s»*e Home wuy|
out of the tangle. She could see none, 1
und at length arose.
"There's one thing certain," she
said with discouraging frankness.
"Twenty dollars won’t last us long in j
America. We must have money in
case we're discovered. We must sell
the car, Fanchette."
“TOii, wwiV* responded Fatldheue, 'eft- 1
couragingly. "What matter?—so long
as we escape, mousleur.”
But when her almost exhausted 1
charge was at length safe between the
sheets, Fanchette resigned herself to
the gravest apprehension
"What <4iance has my lamb to es
cape?" she questioned despairingly. 1
"What chance has my lamb- with
Monsieur le Due hard at hand. A
duke—and much worse than wolf!"

We announce for Saturday the most important Clothing Sale of the
season. It is one that can hardly fail to interest every man who may
have use for anew Spring or Summer Suit. The sale results from a
business condition which is at present effecting the clothing manufac
turing trade to a great extent. Woolen mills are falling down on de
liveries. Wholesale tailors, as a result, cannot All their orders. And
now that the Spring season is so far advanced many dealers are refusing
belated shipments of clothing.
Last week we went down East to pick up seme of this clothing.
We found one maker, who seldom ever cut* a price, with 600 Suits.
Several big stores got tired of waiting and canceled their orders given
him for Spring Clothing. He decided to sell the 600 Suits to us in a
lump, take his loss and be done with it.
These Are sls, $lB and $22.50 Suits—
Saturday in ' rwd 1 Lot*'". $10.45 and $1445
, '•
All pure worsted, hand-tailored Suits, made for the most critical
trade. The newest effects are included,—bright, pleasing Spring colors
smart new patterns—designed by best cutters and tailored by the ’most
expert workmen. Coats are fashioned in a variety of three-button models,
extreme or conservative, have hand-worked buttonholes, hand-felled col
lars and are lined with fine alpaca or serge.
All the New Shades of Grey, Green, Mode, Slate,
Brown, Tan and Blue in Handsome Stripes and
Self-Color Patterns.
Now figure up the saving—Buy a Suit at $10.45 and actually save
$4.55; buy a Suit at $14.45 and actually save from $3.55 to $8.05. The
right size for every build of man—stout, slim or average, from 33 to 44.
If you want best choice come early. This sale will mean lively times
and we can wait upon you better in the morning—for remember, it is
seldom such a chance as this occurs to buy right in the heart of the
season. Men's Clothing Dept., Fourth Floor.
