N.W. aul3-1éd THE ASSASSIN. BY RICHARD MARSH. it, 1895, by Irving Bacheller.) L Kennard passed the paper to Nash. “Read that,” he said. Nash did as he was told; he read the ad- .vertisement to which Kennard was point- ing with his firger. We give that adver- tisement, rendered from the original French into English: “An individual wishes to be rid of the insupportable burden of existence. For particular reasons this individual wishes to leave behind a certain sum of money. In exchange, therefore, for a suitable amount the advertiser will undertake to perform any deed which shall inevitably result in death. Address Tired, 30 bis, Rue de Pekin.” “Candid almcst to a fault,” was Willy Nash’s comment. “Gerbert, what do you think of this?” Having read it, M. Gerbert shrugged his shoulders. “Well—what of it? It is nothing.” “You think it is nothing?” “It is either a hoax—in which case it is plainly nothing; or it is true—and what is it then? How many people are there, do you suppose, who are tired of their lives? Look at me, for instance; look at me! You Iaugh?” Asa matter of fact, they had ex- changed glances, but the thing had not amounted to a laugh. “Very good! You English are of a different race to we French. The things which, with your coarseness, but prick you, with our deli- cacy, cut us to the heart. My God, yes! But that has nothing to do with the adver- tisement.” M. Gerbert waved the paper in the air. “Here is a man who announces" that he is tired of his life; that is but a commonplace. He announces that he will dispose of that of which he is tired in ex- change for a certain sum. There, I grant “Who will march to certain death for a five franc piece.” you, is a touch of the original. So many people dispose of their lives in exchange for nothing at all! But, my friends, think of the number of persons who are willing to risk, and who do risk, their lives for tw pence halfpenny, who will march to certai death for a five-franc piece. This creature” —M. Gerbert rapped his knuckle against the paper—‘is possibly some bravo of a fellow who says to himself, ‘I will have one good hour; and then, after that—what mat- ters all the rest!" That is so!’ “Won't your police have something to say to such an advertisement?” “Ah, M. Nash, our police! With our police it is altogether a matter of the di- gestion! Gcod fortune!” M. Gerbert rose. He drained his absinthe to the dregs. With a_wave of the hand, he walked away. Mr. Kennard drew the pa- rer toward him. “I've a mind to see this through.” Willy Nash looked at him askance. “The adver- tisement, I mean—and the advertiser, too. “Are you thinking of setting him to per- form a deed which shall inevitably result in death? “It depends upon what he calls a suitable amount. I am nota rich man. I can’t af- ford to be unduly extravagant—even for an sional luxury.” ugh!" “William! I have something in my mind’s eye which I should be willing to pay any man a fair price for doing. When he had done it I don’t think he'd want to do any- thing more. You bet.” “Your humor sometimes lies so deep that on this occasion you must excuse me if I ask if you are joking. Mr. Kennard ‘did not directly reply. He studied the advertisement again. “I think, by way of a preliminary, that I should like to make this gentleman’s acquaintance: “Seriously “So seriously that I propose to write to him at once, making an appointment for tomorrow. If you are at my place tomor- row morning at 11 you will be able to see if he keeps it.” “If you take my advice, such a fool.” “No? Are you afraid of blackmailing—or what? Go to! No one wants you. Stop you won't be “Til come, but you'll find he won't. As suggested, I expect the thing’s a “Yes? Probably, in exchange for my let- ter, I shall receive some valuable informa- tion about a novelty in soap.” Il. “Didn't I say he wouldn't come?” “It is just upon 11. Give even an assas- sin a minute’s grace.” “Seriously, Hugh, if the fellow does come, I would strongly recommend you to be extremely careful what you say to him. You know the French have their own point of view; it’s a very different point of view to ours. If you don’t look out you may be in a mess before you know it. Your joke may turn out too much like earnest.” “As I told you, it will depend in a measure upon what he calis a suitable amount. I can’t afford to pay too much, even for murder.”” ‘ugh! There was a knock at the door. o's that?” “It's the assassin. Enter!" The docr opened. There entered—a _ wo- man. They stared. They might not have been able to say what it was that they had expected, but they had not expected this. The woman was slightly built, of medium height. She was dressed in black. She wore a veil which was so thick that it “To an individual.” obscured her features. But one guessed from her carriage that she was young. The two men stood up. She remained in the doorway with the handle of the open door still in her hand, “Monsieur Hugh Kennard?” Certainly the yoice was a young woman’s, She spoke softly and with a little tremor, as if she caught her breath. Mr. Kennard bent his head. “J am Monsieur Kennard. his gentleman?” The woman m tioned with her hand toward Willy Nash. “This gentleman is my friend; my very good friend.” The woman seemed to hesitate. The two men said nothing. They gave her not the least encouragement. At last, apparently arriving at a resolutic! “coming right i.to the room, she shut the ‘oor. “This, Monsieur Kei Aahae is your letter.” She held out a letter “which Mr. Kennard recognized as the one ye he had written. “You said 11. To me thé hour was a little awkward. But-I am e.”” “To whom have I the’pleasure of apse ing?” asked Mr. Kenpard, after during which he had looked at his friend, and his friend had looked at him. “To an individual.” Stepping forward, Willy Nash advanced a chair. “Permit me to Offer mademoiselle a seat.” He laid a stress upon the mad- emolselle. She did not seem to notice it. There was silence. She, stood, seemingly at her ease, her hands at her side, eyeing Mr. Kennard, through the thick folds of her veil. - “Mademoiselle”—he followed Mr.-Nash’s lead—“must forgive my observing that her dercription of herself as ‘an individual’ is a little vague.” “Monsieur understands sufficiently what that description conveys. I am the individ- ual to whom life has become an insupport- able burden.” “How impossible? “It is impossible that to mademoiselle life can already have become an insup- portable burden.” So far the woman’s intonation had been curiously sweet,with something in it which Suggested the voice of a child. Now it perceptibly changed. It became, as it were, a little caustic. “Will monsieur have the goodness to confine himself to the matter whitch is in hand? I am here at monsteur’s particular request. What is it monsieur would wish that I should do?” “I cannot conceive that mademoiselle is in_earnest.’ She showed signs of impatience. ‘“‘How shall I convince monsieur? Does he desire from me an oath? I am ready. If, in ex- change for a particular amount, monsieur will tell me what is the task he requires from me, which shall inevitably result in death, by my actions I will quickly prove that I am in earnest, at least, so far as that.” “But surely mademolselle must perceive that she has me at an advantage. She knows me by rame, by sight, she would even know my most private affairs, yet she will not even suffer me to see her face. “I am but an instrument. What does it matter what an instrument looks like, so long as that which it does is done effici- ently?” “Suppose, cn the other hand, that so soon as Ll have shared with mademoiselle my confidences she goes from here to the police?” The woman hesitated. “What is the amount which monsieur is prepared to offer in exchange for the task which he requires?” “What is the sum which mademoiselle has in her mind?” “Ten thousand francs."” She drew hers2}f upright, ‘throwing back her head with a little defiant gesture, as if the sum she named had been a superb one. The two men started. They stared at each other. Willy Nash distinctly smiled. “Ten thousand francs!" cried Mr. Ken- nard. “Is it pocsible that mademoiselle is willing to give her life in exchange for ten thousand francs?” “It's not my life I give. My life is noth- ing—to me, or any one. I ask ten thousand fratcs in exchange for the deed which you would set me to do. In other words, I desire that my death may be worth some- thing, though my life is of no account. What is it that monsieur requires?” “Suppose I were to require you to kill M. le President?” For the first time shé showed signs of emotion. She startefitso unmistakably that she had to lean’ for support on the back of the chair which Willy Nash had offered her. “Kill M. le President!’ That—that would rot be very pleasant.” ‘ “Does mademoiselle “appose that a deed the doing of which would inevitably result in death would be surrdunded, as a matter of course, with all the eléments of pleasant- nm fonsieur laughs at me. I desire that monsieur will not laugh. I am ready. If monsieur will give me his word that he will pay ten thousand franés in a certain quar- ter, so soon.as he Icarng that M. le Presi- dent is—no more, I will do what he: re- quires.” When he spoke agath, Mr. tone was even unwontedly dry. “Am I to take it that mademolselle is in earnest?” She hesitated. Then With both her hands she raised her veil. “If monsieur will look at me he will see I am in earnest.” (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.) Kennard’s THE ISSUER IN MARYLAND, Jonn E. Hurst’s Views on Reasse ment. Mr. John E. Hurst, democratic candidate for governor of Maryland, has formally ac- cepted the nomination,expressing his views on reassessment as follows: The question, however, which in this state canvass comes more closely home to our people and which engages their atten- tion more than any other is that of zeas- sessment. Upon this subject I am In hearty sym- pathy with the declaration of our platform and the reproduction of that declaration in your letter. A complete and thorough reassessment is now imperatively demanded and should be provided for, without fail, by our next legislature. The history of our state legislation shows that a longer interval has elapsed since our last general assessment under the act of 1876 than has been allowed to pass for more than half a century. ‘We had a general assessment in 1841, again in 1852, again in 1866 and again in 1876. During the nineteen years since this last assessment such great changes in the con- dition and valuation of property, real and personal, have taken place that justice to the people, to the state, to the city of Bal- timore and to the counties, absolutely re- quires a full revaluation of all the property of all our people, carefully provided for, as a business, not as a political measure. In the disturbed and depressed condition of business and property for the last two or three years a reassessment was not ju- dicious, for its results, so far from remedy- ing the evils complained of, would have led to fresh mischiefs, more serious even than those that confessadly existed. For this reason I not only aid not favor, but actively opposed the passage of a re- assessment bill at the session of 1894, and interested myself with many of my fellow citizens of both political parties to induce Gov. Brown to withhold his signature from the bill passed by the senate and house of delegates at the session of 1892. The controlling reasons that then existed for a postponement of such legislation heve largely, if not entirely, passed «way, and there is no longer any good ground for denying the people this necessary m2asure of relief. The primary responsibility for such an act rests upon the legiglature, and the in- tervention of the governor cannot properly go further, in the first instance, than con- sultation and recommendation and the pub- lic expression of his opinions. Indeed, he should be careful, in the due exercise of the functions of the executive, to avoid everything like interference with the inde- pendent action of the Jegislative depart- ment of the government; but publicly de- claring now my deliberate belief that the Passage of a law for a:general and thor- ough assessment of the entire taxable property of all the people of the state should not any longer be postponed, I wish to be understood as distinctly announcing that, should I be elected governor, I shall promptly sign such a bill, and also actively interest myself as far as may be proper in securing its passage by the legislature. tee Auother Hope Story. “The Madness of Lord Harry Culver- house,” by Anthony Hope, will be publish- ed ccmplete in Saturday's Star, extensively and beautifully illustrated.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA A Negro Wanted for an Aggravated Oase of Assault. ‘i A Gambling Complaint to Be Investi- gated—Grave Marks Received— Other Interesting Items. Yesterday afternoon between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock cries of murder were heard coming from the court bounded by Oronoco, Princess, Patrick and Heary streets, and Officer Atkinson hurried to the scene. When he arrived there he found that a colored woman named Mary Gray had been severely beaten and bruis2d up. On investigation it was found that she had been assaulted by Andrew Jackson, who had threatened to kill her, but who had taken to his heels before the arrival of the police, and it is thought has left the city. ‘When the woman appeared at the station house this morning she looked like she had been “struck by a cyclone.” Her head and face were bandaged in many places, and she was so weak from loss of blood that she could hardly walk. She seemed afraid to return to her home, as she said Jack- son would kill her when he found that she had sworn out a warrant for his arrest. Officers Atkinson and Griffin were given a warrant for Jackson’s arrest, and sta:ted out to scour the city for him. There have teen many cases of assault before the mayor, growing out of rows betwen these negroes,who live together without first hav- ing gone through the marriage cerem ny, and it is said that an example will now be made of this case. Police Report. There were no cases ready for trial be- fore Squire Thompson in the police court this morning. A warrant was issued for Andrew Jackson (colored), charged with assaulting Mary Gray (colored), and Offi- cers Griffin and Atkinson were detailed on the case. The case of J.W.Brown, charged with allowing gambling on his premises, was postponed until tomorrow morning. There were no prisoners in the police sta- tion last night. Complaint of Gambling. For some time past the building occupied by J. W. Brown, opposite the Fayette street depot, has been looked upon with suspicion, and yesterday Police Commis- sioner Herbert Bryant received a letter saying that gambling was going on on the premises with Mr. Brown’s knowledge and consent. Complaint is also made by a tele- graph operator named Smith, and the mat- ter will be investigated in the police court tomorrow morning. Passed the Examiantion. Those who passed the examination re- cently held by Capt. K. Kemper, superin- tendent of the public schools in this city, and who are qualified to act as teachers, are Capt. W. H. Sweeney and Misses. Vir- ginia Roxbury, Orean Bruce, Ivy V. Hur- dle, Marion Whitbeck, Nannie Davis, Ther- esa Walsh, Atha Swain, Fannie B. Smith and Mary Finch. Grave Marks Received. Messrs. K. Kemper and A. D.

The grave marks will be placed on the graves in a day or two. They were sent from Boston, the headquarters of the socie- ty, to this city. District Lodge Good Templars. The District Lodge of Good Templars, which comprises delegates from each lodge in Alexandria city and county, Fairfax and Prince William county, commenced its regu- lat meeting in St. Julian’s lodge room, at Fails Church, this morning. A large num- ber of members of the order, in addition to the delegates, attended the meeting. Notes. D. W. Holden, fcrmerly superintendent of the electric railway, is confined to his home by sickness. Miss Annie O’Conner is very ill at her home in this city.

A trial trip of the Howard Cassard will be made in a few days. She will steam to the mouth of thé bay and return. Miss Mildred Thompson will leave for Fauquier county this afternoon to spend several weeks. R. E.

Over a Million and a Quarter Deposit- ed by the d Syndicate. ‘Two important financial telegrams were received at the Treasury Department late yesterday afternoon. One was from As- sistant Treasurer Jordan, at New York, saying that $900,000 in gold had been with- drawn from the subtreasury for export to Etrope. The other telegram, which fol- lowed a few minutes later, contained the mcre welcome intelligence that the Mor- gan-Belmont syndicate had deposited $1,346,000 in gold in the subtreasury in exchange for legal tender notes. This ac- tion of the bond syndicate is accepted at the Treasury Department as conclusive evidence that it proposes to keep the gold reserve above the $100,000,000 legal tender point, in accordance with the spirit of its contract with the government. The trans- actions of the next few weeks will show whether this belief is well founded or otherwise. ————-o+—___ Victory for the Tailors. The tailors’ strike in New York was for- mally declared off last night by the.strik- ers. Thirty contractors have signed agree- ments. The success of the tailors’ strike has emboldened several kindred organiza- tions, the pants makers, jacket makers and vest makers, all of which are affiliated with the Knights of Labor, and all of which have grievances. The thre2 organizations held meetings last night and passed reso- lutions looking to a strike unless their em-. ployers will offer them more liberal con- tracts. They number more than 6,000. “4 Knight of the Nets.” The first installment of an interesting, wholesome story, entitled “A Knight of the Nets,” by Amelia E. Barr, will appear in Saturday’s Star.
