This clue has been very secretly worked by the police, and many fact have been gathered which point in the direction of the probable assassin. The story starts six years ago, when Annie came to this country from Russia with several other members of her family. 8he was then Hi years old. and her plcturee showed that a he was plump, and pretty, and are in marked contrast to the Jaded and frail creature whose body, wrecked by dissipation, was laid away in Mt. Washington cemetery one day last week. On the steumer In which Annie came to this country was a young man named Jacob Frankenstein, who ran away to eaeapo military duty In Rilsaia. His father had been wealthy, but lost hie property through an alleged titti ranee (reasonable against the Czar. Jacob was two years older than Annie, and they were together moat of the time on the journey across the ocean. Annie was sick In bed nearly the entire trip, and Jacob watched and nursed her, and did all that he roiild do to make her eoinfnrt-aldDuring the voage Jacob learned to love Annie. When they rearhed New York Jaeob went to live with a relative named Meyers. In Waverley place, and Annie found a borne In Division street. Jacob was of a little higher class than Annie in their native land, and ahe did not encourage his regard for her, because It is not customary for ons of his kind to marry out of his class. Jacob, however, sought out Annie and called regularly upon her. Annie had never known wrong at that time. She attended the synagogue regularly. She went to work In the big cloak factory In Division street, near Essex, and ? i, A , e. toiled day and night to get money enough to pay for the passage of other members of her family to this country. Jacob ynd Annie became engaged to be married, and as a token be gave her a plain gold band ring, the ling she wore when she was buried. The day wa set for the wedding In January, 1891. Jacob, who was also poor and working hard to save money to furnish a home for them, bad a chance to go Into the clothing business In Mobile, Ala., as a partm r. He put what money he bad saved Into the hiisinciss, hut after six months' trial his partner sold him out and ran away with all the money. Jacob returned to New York city penniless. He hud received letters regularly from Annie and supposed that she was getting along well. He was surprised to learn on hla return that she had quit work In the rlouk factory and had moved away from her people. Jacob sought for her for week! and months, and when he finally found her It was at once evident that she had forgotten the synagogue. Jaeob begged her to give up the life she had started and fulfill the promise of marriage to him, but she laughed at him, saying she preferred the life she was leading.

Hoarser and more bestial grew the frightful roars, wilder and wilder grew the movements, the headgear falling off, faces growing black, the chief standing silent with his hand on his breast, but in his pale face a tense look of ever gathering excitement. And then two of the Dervishes held out a curved sword, and the roan redoubled and the chests heaved with wilder breathe; and suddenly the chief, throwing off hie stocking-wrap- s, jumped on the blade with hls naked feet and balanced himself upon it. the muscles of hls face rigid, hie teeth clinched. Four times he stood upon the bare eword-edg- e amid this hellish howling and this mad swaying, the perspiration running down the foreheads of the devotees. some of them foaming at the mouths. And then they moved round In a circle to the right, howling He! He! an Armenian Dervish in a tall brown hat varying It by Ho! Ho! and another worshipper singing in a high voice.

Then they started on another word with endless iteration, and then they repeated Allah, Allah, Allah, swaying and swaying till the universe began to reel. I became aware that their chief, who was seated on a special red carpet, was counting on a rosary, and I drew relief from the deduction that an end would come. It did, hut worse remained behind, for the Dervishes got up and formed a ring around their chief, and began swaying right and left and backward and forward, undealst-inglremorselessly, getting quicker and quicker, till there was nothing In the world but swaying this way and that way, back and forth. At last the movements began to slow down and to sweep over larger curves, and suddenly they stopped altogether, only to recommence aa the fanatics started singing a joyous hymn. Alas! the world is a thought I, one-ha- lf laughing stock to the other half, If indeed not rather a source of tears.
