t! !l ' I t i f. M T TITE 0MA1TA ILLUSTRATED HEE. Fourth Raffles Story "Wilful Murder" all. I wish lie had. This way." We trod elnftcrly on 'the path, but the travel stbi k to our wot soles and grated horribly In a llttlo tiled veranda, with a lan door leading within. It was through thia glass that liafllcs had first seen the light; and he now proceeded to take out a pane with the diamond, the pot of treacle and the sheet of brown paper which were seldom omitted from Ills Impedimenta. Nor did h dispense with my assistance, though he may havo accepted It as Instinctively as It was proffered. In any case, It was these fingers that helped to spread the treacle on the brown puper and pressed the latter to the glass until the diamond had completed Us circuit and the pane fell gently back Into our hands. Haffles now Inserted his hand, turned the key in the lock, and by making a long 1 arm succeeded In drawing the bolt at the bottom of the door. It proved to be the only one, and the door opened, though nut very wide. "What's thatT" said Raffles, as some thing crunched beneath his feet on the very threshold. "A pair of spectacles," I whispered, pick ing them up. I was still fingering the broken lenses and the bent rims when Raf fles tripped and almost fell, with a gasp ing cry that he mad no effort to restrain, "Hush,, man! hush!" I entreated, under my breath. "He'll hear you!" For answer his teeth chattered even his -Hind I heard him fumbling with his matches. "No, Bunny; he won't hear us," whispered Rattles, presently; and he rose from his knees and lit a gag as the match burned down. Angus llalrd was lying on his own floor, dead, with his gray hairs glued together .by his blood; near hni a poker with the black end glistening; in a corner his desk, ransacked, littered. " A clock ticked noisily , on the chimney piece; for perhaps a hun dred seconds there was no other sound. Raffles stood very still, staring down at the dead, as a man might stare Into an abyss after striding blindly to Its brink. Ills breath came audibly through wide nos trils; he made no other sign, and his llpj seemed sealed. "That light!" said I, hoarsely; "the llglit we law under the door!" With a start be turned to me. "It's true! I had forgotten It. It was In her I saw It first!" "He must be upstairs still!" "It he is we'll soon rout him out. Come on!" Instead I laid a hand upon Ms arm, Im ploring him to reflect that his enemy was dead now that we should certainly be In volved that now or never was our own time to escape. Ho shook me off In a sudden fury of Impatience, a reckless con tempt In his eyes, and, bidding me save my. own skin If I liked, he once more turned his back upon me, and this time left me half resolved to take him at his word. Had he forgotten on what errand be himself was here? Was lie determined that this night should end In black dls. aster? As I asked myself these questions his match flared In the hall; In another In stant the stairs were creaking under his feet, even as they had creaked under those of the murderer, and the humune Instinct that Inspired him In defiance of his rlxk was borne In also upon my slower sensi bilities. Could we let the murderer go? My answer was to bound up the creaking stairs and to overhaul Raines on the landing. Eut three doors presented themselves; the first opened Into a bed room, with the bed turned down, but undisturbed; the second room was empty in every sense; the third door was locked. Raffles lit the landing gas. "He's In there," said he, cocking his re volver. Do you remember how we used to break Into the studies at school? Here goes!" His flat foot crashed over the keyhole, the lock gave, the door flew open, and In the sudden draft the landing gas heeled over like a cobble In a squall; as the flame righted Itself I saw a fixed bath, two bath towels knotted together an open window a cowering figure and Raffles struck aghast on the threshold. "Jack Itutter?" The words came thick and slow with horror, and In horror I heard myself re peating them, while the cowering figure by the bath room window rose gradually erect. "It's you!" lie whispered, 'In amasement r.o less than our own; "It's you two! What's It mean. Raffles? I saw you get over the gate; a bell ranif, the place Is full of them. Then you broke In. What's It all mean?" "We may tell you that when you tell us what In God's name you've done, Rutter!" "Done? What have I done?" The un happy wretch enme out Into the light with bloodshot, blinking eyes and a bloody shirt front. "You know you've seen but I'll tell you, If you like. I've killed a robber; that's all. I've killed a robber, a usurer, a Jnckal, a blackmailer, the cleverest and the cruelest villain unhung. I'm ready to hang for him. I'd kill him again!" And he looked us fiercely In the face, a fine defiance In his dioxlpated eyes, his breast heaving, his Jnw like a rock. "8;iall I tell you how It happened?" he went passionately on. "He's made my life a hell these weeks and months past. Tou may know that. A perfect hell! Well, tonight I met him In Bond street. Do you remember when I met you fellows? He wasn't twenty yards behind you; he was on ycur tracks. Raffles; he saw me nod to you and stopped me and asked me who you were. He seemed as keen as knives to know; I couldn't think why, and didn't care, either, for I saw my chance. I said I'd tell him ell about you If he'd give me a private Interview. He snld he wouldn't. I said he should, and held him by the coat; by the time I let him go you were out of sight, and I waited where I was until he came back In despair. I had the whip hand of him then. I could dictate where the Interview should be, and I made him take me home with him, still swearing to tell him all about you when we'd had our talk. Well, when we got here I made him give me something to eat, putting him off and oft, and about 10 o'clock I heard the gate shut. I waited a bit, and then asked him If he lived alone. " 'Nut at all,' says he; 'did you nut sue the servant?' I said I'd seen her, but I thought I'd heard her go; If I was mistaken no doubt she would come when he called; and I yelled three times at the top of my voice. Of course, there was no servant to come. I knew that, because I came to see him cne night last week, and he Interviewed nie himself through the gate, but wouldn't open It. Well, when I had done yelling, and not a soul had come near us, he was as white as that ceiling. Then I told him we could have our chat at last, and I picked the poker out of the fender and told him how he'd robbed me, but, by God, he shouldn't rob me any more. I gave him three minutes to write and sign a settle ment of all his iniquitous claims against me or have his brains beaten out over his own carpet. He thought a minute, and then went to Ms desk for pen and paper. In two seconds he was round like lightning with a revolver, and I went for him bald headed. He fired two or three times and missed; you can find the holes, if you like; but I hit him every time my Ood! I was like a savage till the thing was done. And then I didn't care. I went through his desk looking for my own bills, and was coming away when you turned up. I said I didn't care, nor clo I; but I was going to give myself up tonight, and shall still; so, you seo, I shan't give you fellows much trouble!" He was done, and there we stood on the landing of the lonely houso, the low, thick, eager voice still ringing through our ears; the dead man below, and In front of us MJ impenitent slayer. 1 know to whom the Impenitence would appeal when he heard the story, and I was not mistaken. That's all rot," said Raffles, speaking after a pause; "we shan't let you glvo yourself up." "You shan't stop me! What would be tbe good? The woman saw me; It would only be a question of time, and I can't face waiting to be taken. Think of it, waiting for them to touch you on the shoulder! No, no, no. I'll give myself up and get it over." His speech was changed; he faltored, floundered. It was as though a clearer per ception of his position had come with the tare idea of escape rom it. "But listen to me," urged Raffles; "we're here at our peril ourselves. We broke In like thieves to enforce redress for a griev ance very like your own. But don't you see? We took out a pane did the thing like regular burglars. Regular burglars will get the credit for all the rest!" "You mean that I shan't be suspected?" "I do." "But I don't want to get off scot free," cried Rutter, hysterically. "I've killed him. I know that. But It was in self-do-fense; it wasn't murder. I must own up and take the consequences. 1 shall go mad if 1 don't!" HIS hands twitched, ills lips quivered, the teuis were In his eyes, lvalues took him roughly by the shoulder. , "Ivook here, you fool! If the three of us were taught here now, do you know what thus consequences would be? We would swing In a row at Newgate iu six weeks' time! You talk us though we were silting In a club; don't you know U s 1 o'clock in the morning, and the lights on, and a dead man, down below. Kor God's suko pull yourself together and do what I leil you or you're a dead man yourself." "1 wish I was one," Rutter sobbed. "I wish I hud liia revolver to blow my owu brains out. It's lying under him. Oh, my God, my God!" His knees knocked together; the frensy of reaction was at Its height. We hud to take him downstairs between us, and so through the front door out Into the open air. All was still' outside ull but the smoth ered weeping of the unstrung wretch upon our hands. Raffles returned for a moment to the house; then all was durk and well. The gate opened from within; we closed it carefully behind us, and so left the star light shining on broken glass and polished spikes, one and all, us wo had found them. We escaped; no need to dwell upon our escape. Our murderer seemed set upon the scaffold drunk with hla deed, he was more trouble than six men drunk with wine. Again Uiid again we threatened to leave him to his fute, to wash our hands of him. But Incredible and unmerited luck was with the three of us. Not a soul did we meet between that and Wlllesden, and of those who saw us later, did one think of the two young men with crooked white ties supporting a third in a seem ingly unmistakable condition, when the evening papers upprised the town of the terrible tragedy at Kensul Rise? We walked to Malda Vale, and thence drove openly to our rooms. But I alono went upstairs; the other two proceeded to the Albany, and I saw no more of Raf fles for forty-eight hours. He was not at his rooms when' I called In tho morning; he had left no word. When he reappeared the papers were full of the murder, and the man who had committed it was on the wide Atlantic a steerage passenger from Liverpool to New York. "There was no arguing with him," so Raffles told me; "either he must make clean breast of it or flee the country. Bo I rigged him up at the studio, and we took the first train to Liverpool. Nothing would Induce him to sit tight and enjoy the situa tion as I should have endeavored to do In his place, and It's Just as well! I went to hla diggings to destroy some papers, and what do you think I found? The police in possession; there's a warrant out against him already! The idiots think that win dow wasn't genuine, and the warrant's out. It won't be my fault if it's ever served! Nor, after all these years, can I tklnk it will be mine. (End of Fourth Story.) Progress Made in Field of Electricity 1 Coat of Nlaarara Electricity. TUP 1 l . . . m f l' icvciii iifniiliKn conducted I I by a committee of the Buffalo viLj touueii Home vaiuaoio in formation concerning the cost of electricity at Niagara Falls and when transmitted to Buffalo was elicited. Frank C. Perkins, the electrical expert en gaged by' the Municipal league, appeared' before the aldermen and gave some Hsu res apparently well supported by proof. He afflrms that the Ontario Power company, which is to supply electricity for the Iro quois company, produces It at J3.55 per horsepower; that to this need be udded only the cost of maintenance, depreciation and taxes to get the total coat at tho falls. He quoted figures of eminent engineers to show that the cost of transmission to Buf falo does not exceed t per horsepower, and that In Buffalo based on this data should not cost to exceed $10 per horse power and 124 per arc light. Buffalo is now paying $75 per arc light for street lighting, each light requiring about two-thirds horsepower. As Mr. Per kins has shown, the rate of $75 per aro light an hour service, means $260 per horse- ' power for twenty-four-hour service. His statement, which he offers to prove by irrefutable evidence, that the Ontario Power company plant costs only' $71 per horsepower is one of the many Important things submitted Vjjt him for the council men to consider. It that la approximately true, Buffalo should not pay a cent more than $18' per horsepower delivered in the city to large consumers, says the Courier. Flectrlo and Steam Roads. An Interesting study of the effect of the entrance of electric railways Into lnter urban traffic Is published In the Railroad Gasette. This naturally gives lta atten tion to the section of the country where the long-distance trolley lines have developed more rapidly than In this Immediate vi cinity. Thus, from Cleveland to Detroit, there is a contlnuoua electric line, and from Cleveland eastward to beyond Erie, and with not over one gap to Buffalo. The difference between the methods of transportation for passengers, and, on some of the lines for express freight, la In the character of the service. On the eloctrlo lines the sending out of a single car at a time permits more frequent service, with tops at cross roads or farm house gatea. But thia inevitably makes the time of the trip longer, Iti addition to the fact that the tracks also place a limit on the speed. The obvious result of this Is that the elec trlo lines can draw away from the steam railroads business for journeys of limited length. If the passenger, for Instance, wishes to go only ten miles the fact that he can get a car In half an hour will out weigh the greater speed of tbe railroad train for which he may have to wait two or three hours. But for a Journey bf MO miles the' railroad speed will generally out weigh any probable lowering of fares. Where ia the approximate dividing line?. The Gasette'a article finds that from Cleve-' land westward to Oberlln, a distance of thirty-two miles, the electric line has taken away over 55 per cent of the Lake Shore railroads local passenger traffic' 'From Cleveland east to Palnesville, a distance of thirty miles. It has taken away 80 per cent of the same class of traffic. Hence thia deduction: , "The conclusion of the matter seems to be that where an electric road parallels a steam road for thirty or forty miles the traffic will go to the electric. For longer distances the advantage at present Is with the Bteam road. On the other hand, the steam road Is a decided gainer where the electric runs divergently from Its route. The electric then becomes a feeder to tho steam road by bringing to It the traffic of the back country," Tesla's Patents Expire. A great stir has been created among electricians everywhere by the announce ment that the famous patents of Nicola Tenia covering the alternating current dynan.o have expired. They have been widely known for years as the "the funda mental patents." Their expiration Is an event In the world .of electricity, not sec ond In, Importance to the dying out of the Bell telephone patents. The alternating motor has been a monopoly. Tesla has been drawing princely royalties on these patents, much of which the pic turesque Inventor Is said to have applied to his experiments In wireless telegraphy, relates the New York World. His mys terious tower at WardencllfTe, Long Island. Is said to have been built in part by money subscribed by J. Plerpont Morgan, and In part out of the royalties from the motor patents. In 18SS Prof. Galileo Ferraris of Turin, Italy, discovered the electro-magnetic ro tating field and applied his invention, ac cording to William Stanley, to a rotating field motor. In 1888 Tesla received United States patents covering the broad applica tion of the Ferraris discovery. George Westlnghouse bought the Tesla patents and also the rights of Ferraris. The fundamental Tesla patents have been for years In the possession of what Is called the "Patent Pool Truat." They have " bee attacked many times In the courts, but without success. It Is now generally believed by electricians that the expiration of the patents releases to the world at large the Immensely Important principle of the rotary field. There will be a grand scramble everywhere to make the Tesla motor, now Invariably used, without paying any more royalty to Tesla. The Weatlnghnuses announce they have a num ber of subsidiary patents and will fight. Telephones aa a Weather Prophet. It Is characteristic that In Paris, where the "hello girl" la more haughty and Im perloua than anywhere else on the globe, a new and homely use should be discov ered for the telephone. When one can't do anything else with It one can turn his telephone to account as a barometer. Hav ing planted two iron rods In the garden, at a distance of about twenty feet one from the other, connect both with the wire of XjUdDBOtKBDQ Every woman covets a shapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the loss of their girlish form after marriage.

A low, murmur ing sound, described poetically as "like the distant twittering of birds," foretells a sudden change In the temperature. Edison and Ills Motor Battery. In a late Interview Thomas A. Edison spoke of his plans as follows: "I am now working on the motor battery for auto mobiles. My Idea Is to make It possible for a tonneau car carrying four people to go 100 miles without recharging. We can do this now with heavy trucks, but the motor Is too heavy for the touring car. The practical limit at present la fifty miles." "Will you limit the distance for the per fected electric car of the future at 100 miles?" he was asked. "There is no limit to anything In this world," was the sublime answer. "I would not venture to suy that tho automobilo of the future might not go any distance. This is merely the next step. I ride in the ma chines myself a great deal, partly for pleas ure and partly for experimental purposes. I have eight, one with tonneau for four, with a limit of fifty miles, and the others smaller, with sevanty-flve-mlle limits. I have gasoline and Bteam motors also, which I use experimentally, for these are the ones that I must and will beat. The eleotrio auto is the car of the future; that is In evitable, for it is the surest and simplest. There is nothing to an electric auto but a couple of chains and a motor; It Is the Ideal machine, If we can only get the motor down light enough. "Very often I am asked what I am work ing on," continued Mr. Edison, "and how long It takes me to complete an Invention. Neither of the questions is an easy one to answer. Today I am still at work on things which I commenced fifteen years ugo aud aro still unfinished. Some df them are on the market, and I am making Improve ments; of others the public knows nothing. I have been working away for four years on this motor battery. I tolled for eight years at the Incandescent light, and I have spent thirty-five years an the phonograph. "I cannot speak of the idem, upon which I am working, and which are still un announced, for this reason I am not a scientist merely; my Inventions are limited to the commercially useful and Industrial. An invention of this class, until It Is abso lutely practical and capable of being sold, la not a success. If I were purely a scientist I would announce Inventions beforehand, as soon aa they had reached 1 a certain stage. "A great deal of my time at present is being spent upon the perfection of the phonograph. I want to Improve the quality, and experiments are correspondingly diffi cult. You cannot tell why a Stradlvarlus violin la better in tone than one picked up at random in the muslo shops, but It is so. While we know that in the phonograph the sweetness depends on the delicacy of the diaphragm and the sonorousness of tbe receiver, Just how and why la the difficult question. A certain diaphragm recorder takea tbe human voice nicely without any vibrating harshness; and another, which seems to be exactly like It, will not do at all. We do not know why yet, but we will in time." Farmlasi by Electricity, In a late issue of Klectrlclty A. Frederick Collins reviews the progress of electrical machinery In agricultural operations In Europe, particularly along the Mediter ranean and Adrlatlo seas. The mountain ous characater of the country furnishes abundant water power for the generation of electricity, which In turn Is readily ap plied to traction machinery. Mr, Collins says, in part: In Xurln the Bocleta Elettrotecnlca Italians, one of the most Important com panies . building -. electrtceJ machinery la Italy, has become deeply Interested In this basic problem and Is now developing a full II m s i . .... mo ui lurra macninery, me result inus rar seeming to point to the final elimination of the ox Bnd horse as a factor In the tillage of the soil. As the fundamental operation of turning up the soil has, where animal power was used, been the most tedious as well as requiring the largest expenditure or power In agriculture, the advent of any means to lighten the labor and decrease the expense must be hailed with Interest. On this primary and Important work hinges to no small extent the products of the field. In England, Germany and Amer ica steam cultivating machinery Is In ex tensive use; In the steam system gigantic plows that will turn from three to five fur rows at a time are connected up to a trac tion engine which draws the Implement from one end of the field to the other and then back again. While the plows are made so that they need not be turned around and the engine runs with equal facility in either direction, there Is a con siderable amount of time lost at either end In uncoupling the plow and manuverlug the engine. , Notwithstanding this untoward feature steam power In husbandry has proven of great value on large farms, for the agri culturist Is made more or less independent of the seasons and is enabled to get In hlti reed at more nearly the proper time and to do away with a large number of horses, ap plying the food they would consume to more profitable places. Besides plows, harrows, cultivators, harvesters and other Imole ments for quick work have been designed for operation by ateam and have proven successful In every way In the countries where they have been used; but steam ma chinery Is not very economical In a country where coul Is expensive and labor and water power cheap. The Bocleta Elettrotecnlca Itallana has taken cognizance of tho facts and in the electric plowing system devised by It has fully met the conditions, both agrlcultura' and electrical, of that country alone, but there are many places In the far west of the United States where the same methods could be used with excellent results, as, for Instance, in the sunbaked but fertile val leys of southern California. The Italian system consists of two electric winches mounted on aeparate trucks and these, when the field Is to be plowed, art placed opposite each other when they' are connected together by means of a steel ca ble of smaller diameter. The plow used Is of the Fowler type, similar to those em ployed for steam plowing, except It is not quite so heavy, but it is balanced and made double and this is coupled to the transmission rope which Is carried in either direction by means of winches. The winches are operated electrically by an Induction motor which transmits its power to the drum of the winch rollers through the medium of a reduction gear. The motor of each outfit Is of twenty horse power and develops a cuble fpeed of fifty meters when the plow Is cutting furrows to a depth of twenty-five centimeters. By reducing the spefd of this motor the depth of the furrow may be Increased to sixty centimeters (about two feet), which Is the limit prescribed In that country. To change the speed the winches are equipped with Interchangeable gears mak ing it possible to run at 0.80, i.ao, 1.60 or t meters per second and In this wav tho most variable conditions of the soil are met. There are devices mounted on the truck for winding the rope on the drum evenly during the traction of the plow and for braking the drum at the moment of stopping. I There are also automatic arrangements for braking the current when the plow la at the end of the run so that the gvoesest carelessness of the employes cannot caure a collision of the plow and the winches. When th run la completed the balance plow la Instantly shifted and the oppo site drum begins to do Its work, carrying the plow back again. The trucks are equipped with Small switchboards, carry ing all the controlling apparatus necessary for the motor. Jon 4, 100.T.
