Kill her,” I cried. Duroe sprang down with shouts of one whose reason had left him He struck the door so frantically with nrsl naked hand that he left a blotch of blood with every blow. “Here is the key," I shouted, picking one from the floor. ‘‘She must have thrown it in at the instant that she was torn away." My companion snatched it from me with a shriek of Joy. A moment later he dashed it | down on the boards. It was so small that it was in the enormous lock. Duroc sank upon one of the boxes with his head between his hands. He scbbed in his despair. I could have sobbed, too, when I thought of the woman and how helpless we were to save her. But I am not so easily baffled. After all, this key must have been sent to us for a pur- pose. The lady could not bring us that of the door because this murderous stepfather of hers would most certalnly have it in his pocket. Yet tnis other key must have a meaning, or why should she risk her life to place it in our hands. It would say little for our wits if we could not find out what that meaning might be, I set to work moving all the cases out from the wall, and Duroc, gaining new hope from my energy, helped me with all his strength. It was no light task, for many of them were large and heavy. On we went, working like maniacs, slinging barrels and cheeses and boxes pell-meil into the middle of the room At last there only remained one huge barrel of vodki, which stood in the corner. With our united strength we rolled it out and there was a little, low wooden door in the wainscot behind it. The key fitted, and with a cry of delight we saw it swing open before us. With the lamp in my hand I squeezed my way in, followed by my companion We were in the powder magazine of the castle—a rough-walled cellar, with barrels all around it, and one with the top staved They will the inarticulate lost We were In the powder magazine of the castle. in'in the center. The powder from It lay in a black heap on the floor. Beyond there was another door, but it was locked. “We are no_ better off than before, Duroc. “We have no key. “We have a dozen,” I cried. “Where? I pointed to the line of powder barrels. “You would blow this door open? “Precisely.” “But you would explode the magazine. It was true, but I was not at the end of my resources. “We shall blow open the store room door,” 1 cried. I ran back and seized a tin box which had been filled with candles, It was about the size of my bushy—large enough to hold several pounds of powder. Durce filled it while I cut off the end of a candle. When we had finished it would have puzzled colonel of engineers to make a better pet: I put three cheeses on top of each other and placed it above them so as to lean against the lock. Then we lit our candle-end and ran for shelter, shutting the door of th magazine behind us. It was no joke, my friends, to lie among all those tons of powder, with the knowledge that if the flame of the explosion should penetrate through one thin door our black ened limbs would be shot higher than the castle keep. Who could have believed that a halt-inch of candle could take so long to burn? My ears were straining all the time for the thudding of the hoofs of the Cossacks who were coming to destroy us. I had al- most made up my mind that the candle must have gone out when there was a smack like a bursting bomb. Our door flew to bits, and pleces of cheese with a shower of turnips apples and splinters of cases were shot In among us. As we rushed out we had to stagger through an impenetrable smoke, with all sorts of debris beneath our feet, but there was a glimmering square where the dark door had been. The petard had done its work. In fact, it had done more for us than we had ventured to hope. It had shattered jailers as well as jail. ~ The first thing that T saw as I came out was a man with a butcher's ax in his hand, lying flat on his back with a gaping wound across his forehead. The second was a huge dog with two of its legs broken twisting in agony upon the floor. As it reared itself 1 saw the broken ends flapping like flalls At the same instant I heard a ery, and there was Duroc thrown against the wall with the other hound’s teeth in his throat. He pushed it off with his left hand, while again and again he passed his saber through its body, but It was not until [ blew out its brains with my pistol that the iron jaws relaxed and the fierce, blood- shot eyes were glazed in death. There was no time for us to pause. A woman's scream from in front—a scream of mortal terror that told us even mow we might be too late. There were two other men in the hall but they cowered away from our drawn swords and furious faces. The blood was streaming from Duroc's neck and dyeing the gray fur of his pe- lisse. Such was the lad's fire, however, that he shot in front of me, and it was only 6ver his shoulder that I caught a glimpse of the scene as we rushed into the cham- ber in which we had first seen the master of the Castle of Gloom. The baron was standing in of the room, with his tangled ling like an angry lion. He was, as I have said, a huge man, with enormous shoul- ders, and as he stood there with his fac flushed with rage and his sword advanced, I could not but think that in spite of ali his villainies he bad a proper figure for a grenadier. The lady lay cowering in a chair behind him. A weal across one of her white arms and a dog whip upon the floor were enough to show that our es- cape had hardly been in time to save her from his brutality. He gave a howl like a wolf as we broke in, and was upen us in an instant, hacking and driving with a curse at every blow. 1 have already said that the room gave no space for swordsmanship. My young companion was in front of e in the nar- row passage between the table and the wall, so_that I could only look on without being able to aid him. The lad knew something of his weapon, and was as flerce and active as a wildcat, but in so narrow space the weight and strength of the glant gave him the advantage. Bo- sides, he was an admirable swordsman His parade and reposte were as quick ay lightning. Twice he touched Duroe upon the shoulder, and then as the lad slipped on a lunge he whirled up bis sword to finish him before he could recover hiy feet. I was quicker than he, however, and took the cut upon the pemmel of my sabre. “Excuse me.” said I, “but you have still cried the middle mane_brist- to_deal with Btienne Gerard.” He drew back and leaned against the tapostry covered wall, breathimg in . littlr ) hoarse gasps, for his foul living was against him. Take your breath,” said I. your convenlenc You have no cause of quarrel against e he panted " 1 owe you some little attention,” sald T, “for having shut me up In your storeroom Bosides, if all others were wanting, I seo cause enough upon that lady's arm.” “Have your way, then,” he snarled, and leaped at me like a madman. For a minute T saw only the blazing blue eyes, and the red glazed point which stabbed and stabbed, rasp- ing off to right or to left, and yet never back at my throat and my breast. 1 had mever thought that such good sword play was to be found at Paris in the days of the revolution. I do not suppose that in all my little affairs I have met six men who had better knowl edge of their weapon. But he knew that I was his master. He read death in my eyes and T could read that he read it. The flush dled from his face. His breath came in short and thicl gasps. Yet he fought on, even after the final thrust had come, and died stiil hacking and cursing with foul cries upon his lips and his blood clotting upon his orange beard. T who speak to you have seen so many battles that my old memory can scarce con- tain their names, and yet of all the terrible sights which these eyes have rested upon there is none T caro to think of less than that strange beard with the crimson stain in the center, from which I had drawn my sword point. It was only afterward that I had time to think of all this. His monstrous body had hardly crashed down upon the floor before the woman in the corner sprang to her feet, clap. ping her hands together and screaming out in heér delight. For my part I was disgusted to see a woman take delight in such a deed of blood, and I gave no thought of the terrible wrongs which must have befallen her before she could so far forget the gentloness of her sex. It was on my tongue to tell her sharply to be silent when a strange choking smell took the breath from my nostrils, and a sud den yellow glare brought out the figures of the faded hangings. “Duroc, Duroe,” T shouted, tugging at his shoulder.” ““The castle is on fire.” But the boy lay senseless upon the ground, exhausted by his wounds. I rushed out into the hall to see whence the danger came. It was our explosion which had set a light to the dry framework of the door. Inside the storeroom some of the boxes were alread blazing. I glanced in, and as I did so my blood was turned to wafer by the sight of the powder barrels beyond and of the loose heap on the floor. It might be seconds, it could not be more than minutes, before the flames would be at the elge of it.” These eyes would be closed in death, my friends, before they sense to see thoss crawling lines of fire and the black heap beyond. How little can I remember of what followe . Vaguely 1 can recall how I rushed into the chamber of death, how I seized Duroc by one limp hand and dragged him down the hall, the woman keeping pace with me and pull- ng at the other arm. Out of the gateway wo rushed and on down the snow coverel path unt!l we were on the fringe of the fir forest. It was at that moment that I heard a crash behind me and glancing around saw 2 great spou. of fire shoot up into the wintry sky. An Instant later there seemed to come a second crash, far londer than the first, and I saw the fir trees and the stars whirling round me an) I fell unconsclous across the boly of my comrado. 1t was some weeks before I came to myself in the post house of Arensdorf, and longer still before I could be told all that had be- fallen me. It was Duroc, already able to go “1 will await Yet he fought on even after the f come 1 thrust had soldiering, who came to my bedside and gave me an account of It. He It was who told me how a plece of timber had struck me on the head and had laid me almost dead upon the ground. KFrom him, too, I learned how the Polish girl had run to Arensdorf, how she had roused our hussars, and how she had only just brought them back in time to save us from the spears of the Cossacks, who had been summoned from thelr bivouae by that same black-hearted secretary whom we had seen galloping so swiftly over the snow. As to the brave lady who had twice saved our lves, I could not learn very much about her at that moment from Duroc, but when I chanced to meet him in Paris two years later, after the campaign of Wagram, I was not very much surprised to find that I needed no introduction to his bride, and that by the queer turns of fortune he had himself, had he chosen to use it, that very name and title of the Baron Straubenthal, which showed him to be the owner of the blackened ruins of the Castle of Gloom.

BALL THROUGH HIS HE Gottleld Zimmermann' Goes to Syndieate Park and Commits Suleide, Gottletb Zimmermann, a well known German who resided at 1013 Plerce street, committed sulcide about 2:30 o'clock yesterday after- noon at the west entrance to Syndicate park by shooting himself through the heart, De- spondency is supposed to have been the cause of ¢ man taking his life. Zimmermann went down to South Omaha yesterday to look for work. At one place where he had ex- pected to get employment he was disap- pointed and wandered up into the busines portion of the city. There he met Rudolph Hartz and the men had a glass of beer to- gether. At this time Zimmermann stated that he was dead broke and had walked to South Omaha in hope of finding work, but had been disappointed. He did not appear to be particularly depressed. About noon he went into Otto Maurer restaurant and stayed nearly an hour. He appeared to be in his usual spirits and took a glass or two of beer. About 1 o'clock he left Mauref's saylog ho was going home. That was the last the people in the restaurant saw of him until his remains were taken to Brewer & Sloane's morgue at South Omaha. The body was found by two boys, Frank Anderson and Ben Tombrank. These lads were going into Syndicate park when at the west entrance they saw man sitting in the croteh of a tres At first the boys thought that the man had failen asleep, but upon a littl investigation a revolver was found lylng at his feet This frightened the boys and they notified the police. Upon arriving at the scene Chief Brennan of South Omaha took charge of the remains until Coroner Maul arrived. When Mr. Maul searched the corpge he found two notes written upon the back of Zimmermann's former business cards. One read To Mike Maul, or Whom it May Concer: Dear Friend—Send me hcme, 1013 Plerce street, Omaha G. ZIMMERMANN. The other read “Please notify Caplitol lodge, and Accepted Masons, Knights of Pythins No also Omaha Veteran Firemen, of which I am a member. “G. ZIMMBRMANN, remains at the morgue the coroner ordered the body brought to Omaha. An inquest will not be held unless the deceased had life insurance. Zimmermann was well known both in Omaha and South Omaha, having been prominent in German aftairs. Of late his friends have kept a watch on him, as he had made one or two previous attempts at self-destruction. A special meeting of the veteran fireman, of which assoclation Zimmermann was a mem- ber, was hekd last night in the office of Chiet Redell to make arrangements for the funeral. A committes of three, W. L. May, Sol Prince and F. H. Koesters, was appointed ta take the matter in charge. The committee will purchase flowers and appoint three pall bearers. All members of the assoclation were requested to attend the funeral in full uni- form. Ancient Free After viewing the ——e CENTRAL LABOR ‘UNION ACTS Circle Check System Ab Put 1o Ope At a meeting of the Central Labor union held last night the committee on the circla check system reported that steps were being taken toward the perfection of the system and asked for further time to complete ar- rangements, which time was granted. It is expected by the committee that every ar- rangement for launching this systom will be in working order by the first of the month. The quesction of civil service reform In city affairs was discussed by a number of the delegates, the consensus of opinion being that some plan of civil service reform should be adopted by the city of Omaha. A commit- tee is now working with the city council trylng to get that body to submit the question to a vote of the people, if that is found to be the best way to securo the desired end. It is evident from the speeches made that a trong sentiment in favor of removal of city servants from the vicissitudes of politics has developed in the Central Labor union and among the laboring men generally in the clty. The question of celebrating Labor day was discussed by several delegates, and a com- mittee of five was appointed o consider the question of how, to best celebrate the day this year, to report at the next regular meet- ing of the union. This committee 1s: W, B, Sebring, J. B. Shupp, R. C. Rowley, Au- gust Beerman and John Kerrigan. President J. B. Shupp recommended that the city council be asked to repeal the or- dinance preventing hand bills being passed on the streets of the city. The recommenda- tion was adopted. It was argued that the prevention of distributing hand bills kept many printers out of employment and also made the calling of labor meetings more expensive. It was also argued that the or- dinance was in the interest of large adver- tisers and a_detriment to small dealers. President Shupp recommended that & com- mittee be appointed to consider the local political question and make a report at the next meeting of the union, with recommenda- tions as to what is best for the workingmen 10 do in the coming campaign. The president expressed dissatisfaction with all political parties now in existence. The following com- mittee was appointed: August Beerman, P, J. Donnelly, John Kerrigan, K. S. Fisher, G. W. Sabine, J. L. Baird and E. H. Becl stead. e FOR A BRAIN STIMULANT Use Horaford’'s Acld Phosphate. Dr. W. F.
