The pretty hand of the girl was held
out to him, but lie took it not. That
hand, often kissed by him, was charged
with murder; to touch it now would
contaminate the llersford name, and
tarnish the honor of a proud family.
Refusing the dainty member, white
and dimpled as a child’s, Alfred Hereford
turned away with her last words ringing
; n |,j s e; , rSi and with a “good-bye”
which should have been a “farewell,”
on his lips.
Maude lhdden leaned against one of
the porch pillars with a long drawn sigti,
and watched him till his figure disap¬

heard the hoofs of his iiorse on tlie
bridge not far a way.

Through bad liiinself »ji**culation$ Alfred

fled north, and in one of the inanufac

'Tlits detective hud struck the right

His blood ran cold when he thought of
tlie goal.
He came up with tottering but cau¬
tious steps, and leaning against one of
tlie pillars of the porch, looking in upon
tlie superbly-dressed woman who sat at
the piano.
A fair little girl with golden hair—
th* very image of Alicia Hereford at lior

“I am at tlie end of my trail,” said
the iniggard man at the pillar. “Here

The next moment lie held a revolver
In one hand against his head, and an en¬

followed drove the beautiful woman
from the piano, arid the men who
hastened to the scene found the suicide
lying near tlie window.

He was then a man of about two hun¬
dred pounds Whan in tho Major’s employ.
I The secret of ins reduced size was freely
given, A short distance up the moun¬
tain was a spring, tlie waters of which
contained some mineral anti-fat proper¬
ties. Did the Major want to loose some
of the superfluous flesh which incum¬
bered him? lie did. He drank the
water, and in ten days his weight had
been reduced twenty-live pounds. He
continued drinking tlie water until front
two hundred and ten poutidslre was re¬
duced to one hundred anil seventy
pounds, Ids present weight,. This Wit#
accomplished without any violent action!

nolds will obtain water from tlie spring
and forward it to tho .Smithsonian In¬
stitute at Washington for analysis.
The spring ia alsiiit sixteen miles from
Anaheim, easily accessible, and if
analysis establishes the fact that there
is nothing to be apprehended from using
the water, many obese [lersons will
