AUBURN MYSTERY NOT SOLVED "Woman in Black" Is Shot at Many Times, but Continues to Prowl.' Auburn, Neb., March 2."i. The mys terious "woman in black" continues o make her nightly appearances on tho streets of Auburn, scaring men, women and children alike by her weird appearance and strango actions. Ihots are frequently hoard which havo been llred by somo one who has been confronted by tho queer appari tion. It Is tho general belief that the "woman in black" Is probably sonic young man himself playing what he deems a practical joke, and some ol the citizens have vowed that If they catch him they w'U teach him a les ion that will put an end to his prac tical Joking for tho tlmo being. They look on It as small business for any no to prowl tho streets at night in this kind ol disguise. There Is serious danger that somo innocent person' moving ahout tho city may bo shot and killed somo 'dark night by some person whoso fears override their good reason. EXCITEMENT AT ANSELMO. Joseph Schrall, "Bootlegger," Shoot! Constable While Resisting Arrest. Ansilino, Neb., March 2G. ConsUl rablo excitement was created here when Constable William Lewis and four deputies attempted to arrest Jo ireph Schall, an alleged desperado and bootlegger, who haB been staying in Hits neighborhood tho last winter. Schall started to make trouble a week ago, when he accused Postmaster Kinplleld or destroying a letter sup posed to have been addressed to Schall by a jug house ot Kansas City. Schall began filling up on "fighting fluid" and frequently mado threats upon tho life of tho postmaster or rny ono who attempted to interfore with his business. After knocking down a cltlzon, he began walking tho streets firing his revolver, and for a tlmo Anselmo re called the cowboy days of long ago. Constablo Lewis, who lives half a llles south of town, was sent for. When a freight train pulled out of town Schall attempted to board It. Whon discovered ami called upon to Btop, ho opened fire on tho oillcers, who returned tho compliment. Tho officers fired ten shots and Schall lno whllo within slxteon paces of oach othor. Lewis was shot through tho log and tho desperado succeeded In getting on tho train. A messago was sent to Dunning, tho next town north, and tho city marshal of that vlllago rounded up tho wild man and roturued him to Ansolmo. Sheriff IWchardson took Schall to Broken Jfcm. Tho charge now against Schall Is ahootins with intent to kill. The Kta j. without effort. Th-u suddenly a fresh panic seized him, his lingers tlghteiu'il spasmodically, ills eyes ceased to rove about the room and settled on hlj companion's face. "Can you see It Loder?" he criojl. "I can't; the light's In my eye.-i. Can you see it? Can you see the tube?" lie lifted himself higher, an agony of apprehension in his face. Lode i- pushed him hack upon the pillow. lie was striving hard to keep Ills own mind cool, to steer his own course straight thi'Migh the chaos that confronted lilin. "Chllcote," he began once more, "you sent for me last night, and I came the fhvtt thing this morn lug to tell you" Hut there he stopped short. With an excitement that lent him strength, Chllcote puthed aside his hands. "Cod," he saiil .maidenly, "sup pose 'twas lost suppose 'twas gone!" The imaginary possibility gripped him. lie sat up, his fare livid, drops of perspiration showing on his forehead, ids whole shattered syjteiii trembling before his thought. At the sight Loder set his lips. "The lube h on the mantelshelf," he said In a cold, abrupt voice. A groan of relief loll from Chllcote. mm tin' muscles of his face rel.ixj'd. For a iuoiiie.it lie lay hack with closed eyes, then the jh' i'e that torturojl him stirred al'tv.-h. lie lifted his cyolku and looked at his o'Miipjinloii. "Hand it to me," he said jiuiekly. "(Jive it t. me. (live it to me, Loder, quick as you can! There's a glass on the tnhh and some whisky anil water. The tahlohls dissolve, you know" In h.t new excitement he held out his hand. Hut Loder stayed motionless, lie had come la llu'lit, to demand, to plead, If need ho, for the one hour for which lie had lived the hour that was to satisfy all labor, all endeavor, all am bition. With dogged persistence he made one more essay. "Chllcote, you wrote last night to re call me" Once again ho paused, checked by a new Interruption. Sit ting up ii'-jaln. Chllcote struck out sud tleuly Avith his left hand in a rush of ids old Irritability. "D n you!" he cried suddenly. "What are you talking about? Look at me! Get me the stuff. 1 tell you It's Imperative." In his excitement his breath failed, and he coughed. At the effort his whole frame was shaken. Loder walked to the dressing table, then Lack to the bed. A deep agita tion was at work hi his mind. Again Chllcote's lips parted. "Lo der," he saiil faintly "Loder, I must I must have It. It's Imperative." Once more lie attempted to lift himself, but the effort was futile. Again Lojler turned away. "Loder" With a tierce gesture the other turn ed on him. "Good heavens, man!" he began. Then unaccountably his voice j changed. The suggestion that had i been hovering In his mind took suil den and definite shape. "All right!" he said hi a lower voice. "All right! Stay as you aro." He crossed to whore the empty tum bler stooil and hastily mixed the whis key ami water, then crossing to the mantelpiece where lay the small glass tube containing the tightly packed tabloids he pi-used and glanced once more toward the bed. "How many?" he said laconically. Chllcote lifted his head. Ills face was pitiably drawn, but the feverish bright ness in Ids eyes had Increased. "Five," he said sharply. "Five. Do yOu hear, Lodiu1?" "Five?" Involuntarily Loder lowered the hand that held the tube. From pre vious confidences of Chllcote's 1k knew the amount of morphia contained In each tabloid and realized that five tab loids, if not an absolutely dangerous was at least an excessive dose, eveu .iccustomct. ug. For a uiou.eiit his resolution faded. Then the dominant note of ids nature the un conscious, fundamental egotism on which his character wnu based assert ed Itself b(voud denial. It might he reprehensible, It might even he crimi nal to ai'codo to such a request made by a man in such a condition of body and mind; yet tho lnws of the universe demandeil self assertion prompted ev ery human mind to desire, b grasp and to hold. With a perception swifter than any ho had experienced he realized tho certain respite to ho gained by yielding to his Impulse. IIo looked at Chllcote with his haggard, anxious expression, his eager, restless eyes, and a vision of ' himself followed sharp upon his glance. A vision of tho untiring labor of the 1 past ten days, of the slowly kindling ambition, of tho supremacy all bat t gained. Then, as the picture completed Itself, he lifted his hand wil'u n ab rupt movement and dropped the live tabloids one after another into the glass. CIIAPTKR XXV. HI AVI NO taUou a dollnlto step In any direction, it wu t not hi Loiler's naturo to . h It ro I traced. Ills faco was sot, hut sot with dotormlnatlon, when ho closed tho outer door of his own rooms and pnssod quietly down the Btalrs and out Into the silent court. The thotigiu of Chllcote, his pitiable condition, his sor did environments, were things that re quired a firm will to drive into the background of the imagination, but a ' whole inferno of such visions would not have daunted Loder on that morn ing as, unobserved by any eyes, lie loft tho little courtyard with Its grass, Its trees, Its pavement all so distastefully familiar and passed down the Strand toward life and actioti. As ho walked his steps Increased In speed and vigor. Now, for the first time, he fully appreciated tho great mental strain that he had undergone In tho past ten days the unnatural ten sion; the suppressed but perpetual sense of impending recall; (lie conse quently high pressure at which work lie dropped the lw tnlil,l!x one fftr another nit i ."".- i ' s and even existence 1 1 1 b.' i carried on. And as he hurried forw-ird the n.itural reaction to this state jf thing-. came upon him in a Hood of security and con fidencea strong reallzatlo'i of the tem porary respite ami freeilom for which no price wouhl have seemed too high. The moment for whlcji be had uncon sciously llvi'd ever since Chllcote's first memorable proposition was within reach at last, safeguarded by Ids own notion. The walk from Clifford's inn to Grosvenor square was long enough to dispel any excitement thnt his inter view had aroused, and long before the well known house came Into view he felt sulFlcIently braced mentally and physically to seek Eve In tho morning room, where he instinctively felt she would still lio waiting for him. Thus he encountered and overpassed the obstacle that had so nearly threat ened ruin, and, with the singleness of purpose that always dlstlngulsliojl him, he was able, once having passed it, to dismiss it altogether from his mind. From the moment of his return to Chll cote's house no misgiving as to Ms own action, no shadow of doubt, rose to trouble his mind. Ills feelings on the matter were quite simple. Ho had in ordinately desired a certain opportuni ty. One factor had arisen to debar that opportunity, and he, claiming the right of strength, had set the harrier aside. In the simplicity of the reasoning lay Its power to convince, and were a tonic needed to brace him for his task he was provided with ono in the master ful sense of a dlllieulty set at naught. For the man who lias fought and con quered one obstacle feels strong to vanquish a score. j to nn CONTINUED. Absentminded. Henson I have a literary friend who Is so absentminded that when ho went to London recently he telegraphed hlnielf nhi'iid to wait for himself at a certain place. Smith Did the tele gram have the desired result? Iten son No; he got It all right, but ho had forgotten to sign his name, and, not knowing who It was from, he paid no attention to it.
