His heart was dull with the weight of pain and dread upon it, He looked at Mr, Warren's old rfle over the fireplace and realized how quickly a man would raise such a weapon against him who threatened or seemed to threaten his loved ones. He took the rifle down. It was loaded, as Warren had said when he faced Dutton with it. Will remembered that he had seen an- other gun about the place somewhere, aiid taking the rifle with h'm he went to look for it. He found it in the milk shed, a =hot- gun, and beside it were powder horn aid shot pouch attached to straps for slinging over the shoulders.

It was a little short of half-past one when Will Spencer dashed into the Warren Kitchen and cried, “Where's Elsie, Mrs, Warren? Where's Elsie Mrs. Warren, who had her hands in a dough pan, looked up,in surprise and saw him standing excited and anxious, with Elsie’s hat in his hand. “Why, WIL,’ responded Mrs. Warren, quaking with new fear, “‘she left to meet you only a few minutes ago.” “Few minutes! Think, Mrs. Warren; how long was it?” She looked at the clock, too bewildered almost to read the time. “It was just after dinner,” she replied; “half-past twelve, I suppose." ' reat heaven! almost an hour! Where's Nick?” And Will seized the dinner bell from a shelf and ran to the door, swinging it until it waked the echoes from the farm to Sam Springer’s store. Mrs. Warren was terribly agitated by the young man's excitement and the announce- ment that he did not need to put into words, Wiu Held Out Her Hat. but, as we have seen, she was not one to give way more than momentarily, no mat- ter how severe the strain or how appalling the emergency. She crossed the kitchen and laid her hand on Will's arm, saying: Nicholas will be here in a minute now. You don’t need to ring any more. Where did you jind Elsie’s hat?” ‘ot half way from here to Newcomb’s s. It was right in the path—’ ‘What's the matter?” asked Mr. Warren, appearing from around the shed and run- ‘Has Dutton—* ie, Nick,” answered Will; “Elsie’s—I don’t know; she’s gone. “Gone, lad? Where? yill held out her hat. This is all I know about it,” swered. Mr. Warren's face, flushed with his run, grew suddenly pale, and he leaned his arm against the door jamb for support. “She was to meet me at Newcomb’s wood: continued Will, “and I found this in the meadows.” “Take me there,” interrupted Mr. War- he an ren. “You stay in the hou Martha. There's no telling what mischfef may be done next.”” He dashed around the house and across the road, Will after him, through the open- ing In the wall, and down the faint path between the hillocks. you've passed it!” Will presently ‘Mr. Warren came back and examined the ground attentively. : ‘There's no sign of @ struggle,” he said. “How long is it Since you found the hat?” “Less than “ten, minutes.

Uurry, and if you don’t find any trace in a quarter of an hour, come back.” Will did not need the injunction to hurry. Both men started down the hillock in op- posite directions on the run, and shortly after their voices might have been heard calling “Els in long-drawn_ shouts, as they zigzagged from one mound to another and prowled among the clumps of trees and looked behind rocks and the few sca tered boulders that had rolled down from the mountain centuries befor: Wanga had left them no trace to reward their anxious efforts, and when the quarter hour had passed Will and Mr. Warren met again at the base of the hillock and looked at one another In silent inquir “T can’t think,” faltered Will, the tramps we saw lust evening.” “unless Dutton and the burning of your cabin, Sam. So I told Nick about them. I haven't had much chance to speak of it to snybody else, and if I had I don’t know as I should, for it was mostly Nick’s business, wasn’t it “Those scoundrelr are at the bottom of all my trouble, I believe,” broke in Mr. Warren. “They were up the Surmmit road to the mountain, weren't they?” “Yes; about a miie from your house.” “Were they in camp?" “There was no sign of camp, no fire, or remains of a fire, that I could see.” “Trust a woodman to see that, if there “There’s been too much keeping back in- fermation about this affair,” growled New- comb, “but that ain't anything to do with Elsie.

Do you suppose he could have been lying in wait for my girl? The villain!” Mr. Warren's voice broke in a great sob, and it seemed as if he would sink to the ground, Will stepped forward and took his arm. “We don't know anything about it, yet, Nick,” he said, his own voice steady only by the strongest effort of his will. “The whole vi'lage ought to be alarmed. There isn't a human being in the whole township that wouldn't turn out to-hunt for Elste. “That's right, lad,” responded Mr. W: ren, recovering, and then, with that fatu- ous attempt at hope that almost invariably characterizes despair in one of its stages, “That's so,” said Sam; “who'll go for ‘I will,” responded King, “but it’s a mile away.” “Tako Nick's horse,” suggested Will. King ran to the barn, and in the discus- sion that followed it was agree that the time that would probably be saved by Mar- tin’s clever dogs would more than make up for any time that might be lost in waiting for them. A moment or two later King galloped away, and then Mr. Warren returned with the gang of men whom he had found at work at Babson's. He assented readily to the suggestion that they wait for Martin's degs, for he knew the animals, and knew that they would be more effective than en army of men. “Glad you've got the gun, Will,” he. raid in a low voice as they went into the house to see hcw his wife and the patient were doing.

He seems to know some- thing about this.’* “He must have heard Will when he came in, for after you had gone I heard him call faintly. I went in. He was very excited. There was a bright color in his face and his eyes were wild. I bent down and asked him if he could tell me what he wanted. “Your daughter?’ he whispered, inquir- ingl; tween wife and daughter, would you “Far from that, Nicholas, but think; a score of our neighbors are going to search for Elsie. Surely they can do all that can be done for her.

Of course, “Will is not one of us yet, Nicholas, and surely you wouldn’t wish him to remain by Freeman's side to hear—” 2 ‘Mr. Warren raised his hand to check her. “I'll stay,” he said.

One of them, who sat beside the driver, got down, mov- Ing slowly; as !f his joints were stiff from the long ride, and said: “You are Nicholas Warren, I believe?” yes,” replied Mr. Warren, foreseeing what was to come, and feeling the keenest agony on account of his wife, “that is my name.” “You will have to come with me,” said the stranger. “I have here a warrant for your arr f He produced an official document. “You will see that everything is regular,” he said; “you are charged with assault with intent to kill, the victim of your as- sault being one Freeman Dutton.” (To be continued tomorrow.)

Evidence in Rebuttal In the Moerder Case. The attempts of the defense in the Dur- rani murder case at San Francisco to prove what it promised has fallen flat. A long deposition from Charles E. Clark, a travel- ing salesmen, was read. The defense ex- pected to prove by Clark that he had seen Miss Lamont on the afternoon of April 3, accompanied by a man other than Dur- rant. Clark said that he could not positive- ly fix the date, and only thought the girl he saw was Miss Lamont from the fact that she resembled a picture which he saw in a newspaper. An attempt was made to discredit the tes- timony of W. J. Phillips, who sald he saw Durrant enter Oppenheim’s pawnshop April 12, but this also fell flat. The general re- sult of the .estimony was to weaken the defense, through its utter failure to prove the favorable circumstances prom!sed. At the opening of the court yesterday morning the defense announced that it had finished its case, and the taking of testi- mony in rebuttal was at once begun by the prosecution. The testimon was the most important given during the trial, as it conflicted with several vital statements made by Durrant while he was on the stand. The testimony of Dr. Giibert F. Graham, for instance, is considered by many to sweep away Durrant’s entire de- fense. Graham is a medical student and an in- | timate friend of Durrant. He told of a sensational interview that took place be- tween himself and the prisoner at the coun- ty jail on April 20. Dr. Graham was ac- companied to the prison by J. S. Dunnigan, a newspaper man, who was asked by Du: rant to retire after he had been there a few minutes. Graham said that after Dun- nigan stepped aside Durrant asked him if he would let him see his notes of Dr. Che- ney’s lecture in order that he might com- pare them with his own. Graham demurred at first, after which he said Durrant stated frankly to him that he had no nojes of the lecture. He said Durrant told him if he had the notes of the lecture he could easily establish a strong alibi for himself, .and urged him to leave the notes with Mrs. Durrant, in order that she might bring them to him at the prison. Dr. Graham said he refused the request and never after- ward visited Durrant at the prison. The first witnesses called in rebuttal by the prosecution were the five trustees of Emanuel Church. Durrant testified that he was asked by the trustees to repair the sun burner at Emanuel Church on April 1. The trustees denied that they had asked Durrant to make repairs of any kind at the church during March or April. Witnesses were next called to disprove Durrant’s statement that on the after- noon of April 12 he was at the ferry for the purpose of searching for Blanche La- mont, who, he said, a mysterious stranger had told him would cross the bay that afternoon. C. W. Dodge, a medical stu- dent, said he saw Durrant at the fer and the prisoner told him he was w: ing for a number of members-of the sig- nal corps who were expected from Oak- land. C. A. Dukes, a medical student, who accompanied Dodge, corroborated his tes- timony. A. A. Hobe, an old schoolmate of Dur- rant, testified that he saw Durrant at the ferry the same afternoon in company with @ young woman. E. A. Glase:, a student at the medical college, testified that on the afiernoon of April 10 Durrant asked him to read aloud his notes of Dr, Cheney’s lecture. Glaser said he read his notes to Durrant, who de- voted three-quarters of an hour to writing in his note book. The defense tried to show that it was customary for students to compare notes, but Glaser said that Durrant read nothing that purported to be his own notes. + Thomas Price, a chemist, called to give expert testimony, was asked practically in what condition a man would be who had breathed fliuminating gas for the length of time Durrant said he was working over the sun burners. The witness said a man would be unconscious in five minutes—the length of time Durrant said he was engag- ed at work over the burner. Charles Morrison and J. H. Cooper, news- paper reporters, testified that Durrant said he arrived at the church on April 3 between 4 and 4:30 in the afternoon. This testi- mony conflicts with the statement Dur- rant now makes to the effect that he did not arrive at the church until 5 o'clock. From the outlook the case will go to the jury not later than the close of next week, efter having been on trial since July es SHERMAN AND GARFIELD. Noted The Senntor Declares There Was No Enmity Between Them. Senator Sherman Is quoted in a dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Mansfield, Onio, in reference to the criticisme that have been passed upon his book. He said he meant every word that he had written in the book, and, speaking of the chapter relating to Mr. Garfield, he 1s quoted as deciaring emphatically that noth- ing he gives to the public in the particular chapter of book which has become fa- mous in a day Is intended to convey an impression of enmity between himself and Garfield. On the contrary, Senator Sher- man said that as far as he knew James ‘A. Garfield had been lifted into the nomina- tion for Prasident by the force of circum- stances which drifted his way. He Intt- mated that others than Garfield held the cards which decided the presidential stake and fell against himeelf, Sherman, rather than in favor of Garfield. The latter, he sald, went into the convention pledged to work for the Senator. In the following words did Senator Sher- man, according to the Press correspondent, come to the defense of his friendship with Garfield: ‘The extracts thus far published from my book can give only an imperfect understanding of the situation as it reaily was. When the entire book Js read It will pe found that the newspapers are not justi- ted In the comments they are now making on this episode. I repeat that which said in my book Is my candid opinion, ani will not be changed by what others may say. I say in my book that at the moment I heard from the floor of the convention that matters were drifting in favor of Gar- field I telegraphed my friends to turn in my support for Garfield, Despite the reve- lations which came to me later I was pleased with Garfield’s nomination and 1 it hy going into the campaign for him actively. He thanked me very heartily later for the good work which he was kind enough to say I had done for him. “When he entered presidential duties Mr. Garfield frequently consulted me on im- portant matters. It was after such a con- sullation that he appointed Windom Sec- retary of the Treasury. That appointment was made upon my advice and went to show that President Garficld and myeelf were on good terms and intimate. Garfield was ever a man of large, generous im- pulses, always cordial. His nomination re- sulted from the drift of circu: neces. “Before it came to him Garfield's friends were shaping matters in that direction; whether he then knew what was going on I cannot tell. The corresp lence published in my book tells the story clearly. I omit- ted from that publication a voluminous ex- planation made to me by Mr. Foster, which I do not care to make public. I could write two more volumes of my political story so far as the matter at hand ts concerned put do not contemplate any additional pub Heation.”
