The division of the Liberals he con- siders most unfortunate, as they/are the progressive party in England.

The next morning a etimor crept through the city that a murder had been committed in a house ill Russell street, and many people proceeded to the spotindicated to fine out ie it were true.

Very likely he • did not tutene to kill him hadhe sleet on, but in trying to abstract the keys front under the pillow, Leis:rug must have sprung up and tried to give the alarm, enetantly the murderer's cluteh was on his throat; but the old man, struggling off the bed, fought with terrible strength for his life.
