came interested elsewhere”—here ho cast
a look at me—“so that half the evening
passed 'before T had an opportunity to
join her In the so-called alcove, where
I had seen her set up her miniature
court. What passed (between us in the
short interview we held together you

sary. It was chiefly marked by the ono
short view I succeeded in obtaining of
her marvelous diamond. In ppite of the
pains she took to hide it from me by
some natural movement whenever she
caught my eyes leaving her face. But
in that; ono short look I had seen enough.
This wvs a gem for a collector, not to he
w orn a ivo In a royal presence. How-
had slit* come by it? And could Mr.
Smythe expert me to procure him a stone
like the t? In my confusion I arose to
depart. but the lady showed a
disposition to keep me, and be
gan chatting so vivaciously that
I sitarcely noticed that she was nil the
time enfraged in drawing off her gloves.
Indot*1. T almost forgot the jewel, possi
ble bc'car.se her movements hid it so com
pletely. .and only remembered it when,
with a tmdden turn from the window
where she had drawn me to watch the
faiiimr .flakes, she pressed the gloves into
my hand' with the coquettish request that
T should take care of them for her. t
remember, as I took them, of striving to
catch another glimpse or the stone,
whose brilfiA ncy had dazzled me, but she
had opened Vier fan between us. A mo
ment after, thinking I heard approaching
steps, T quitted the room. This was my
first visit."
As lie stoppeil, possibly for breath, pos
sibly to judge to what extent I was im
pressed by his account, the inspector
seized the opportunity to ask if Mrs.
Fail-brother had been standing any of this
time with her back to him. To which
he answered yes. while they were in the
window.
"Long enough for her to pluck off the
jewel and thriint it into the gloves, If she
had so wished?”
"Quite long enough.”
“But did you not see her do this?”
“I did not."
“And so took the gloves without sus
picion ?”
"Entirelv so.”
"And carried them away.”
"Unfortunately, yes."
‘ Without thinking that she might wanL
them the next minute?”
•‘X doubt if I was thinking seriously of
her at all. My thoughts were on my own
disappointment ”
"Did you carry these gloves out in
your hand?"
"No, in my pocket.”
“I see. And you met—”
"No one. The sound I heard must have
come from the rear hall.”
"And there was nobody on the steps?”
"No. A gentleman was standing at
their foot—Mr. Grey, the Englishman—
but his face was turned another way,
and he looked as If he had been in that
same position for several minutes.”
“Did this gentleman—Mr. Grey—see
you?”
"I cannot say, but I doubt it. He
appeared to be in a sort of dream.
There were other people about, but no
body with whom I was acquainted.”
“Very good. Now for the second visit
you acknowledge having paid Ibis un
fortunate lady."
The inspector's voice was hard. I clung
fl. little more tightly to my uncle, and
Mr. Durand, after one agonizing glance
my way. drew himself up as if quite
conscious that lie had entered upon the
most serious part of tiic struggle.
“1 had forgotten the gloves in my
hurried departure; but presently I re
membered them, and grew very uneasy.
X did not like carrying this woman's
property about with me. 1 had engaged
mvself. an hour before, to Miss Van Ars-
dale. and was very anxious to rejoin
her. Tile gloves worried me, and finally,
after a little aimless wandering through
the various rooms, T determined to go
back and restore them to their owner.
The doors of the supper room had just
been flung open, and the end of the hall
near the alcove was comparatively emp
ty. save for a certain quizzical friend of
mine, whom I saw sitting with his part
ner on tlie yellow divan. 1 did not want
to encounter him just then, for lie had
already joked me about my admiration
for the lady with the diamond, and so 1
conceived the idea of approaching her by
means of a second entrance to the al
cove. unsuspected by most of those pres
ent. but perfectly well known to me, who
have been a frequent guest in this house.
A door, covered by temporary draperies,
connects, as you may know, this alco.-e
with a pasageway communicating direct
ly with the hall of entrance and the up
stairs dressing rooms. To go up the
main stairs and cfme down by the side
one. and so on. through a small arch
way. was a very simple matter for me.
If iio early-departing or late-arriving
guests .were in that hall, 1 need tear but
one encounter, and that was with the
servant stationed at the carnage en
trance. But even lie was absent at tilts
nropitious instant, and I readied the door
T sought without any unpleasantness.
This door opened out instead of In—this
X also knew when planning this surrep
titious intrusion, hut. after pulling _ it
open and reaching for the curtain,
which hung completely across it. i
found it not so easy to proceed as 1 iiau
imagined. The stealthiness of my action
held back my hand; then the taint
sounds I heard within advised me that
she was not alone, and that she might
very readily regard with displeasure my
unexpected entrance by a door ot whicii
she was possibly ignorant. I tell you
all this because, if by any chance 1 was
seen hesitating in face of that curtain,
■doubts might have been raised which i
am anxious to dispel.” Here his o\es
left my face for that of the inspector.
“.It certainly had a bad look,—that I
don't deny; but I did not think of ap
pearances then. I was too anxious to
complete a task which had suddenly pre
sented unexpected difficulties. That l
listened before entering was very natural
and when I heard no voice, only some
thing like a great sigh, I ventured to
lift the curtain and step in. She was
sitting, not where T had left her. but on
a couch at the le t of file usual en
trance, her face toward tnc. and—you
know how. Inspector. It was her last
sigh I had heard. Horrified, for I had

creasing demand for women
bookkeepers. Women learn bookkeeping rapidly ai d
acquire the details of office management very quickly.
They are adaptable, energetic and willing. These qualities
make them ideal bookkeepers.
If you are engaged in uncongenial employment
you should learn bookkeeping. If you are living in
the country, and desire to goto some large citv.y
should firs't study bookkeeping. It you are standing
behind a counter or working in a factory, you should
take the Commercial Correspondence Schools’ course

your surroundings more congenial and your future
prospects brighter. Competent women bookkeepers
can easily earn from $10 to $25 per week. A knowl
edge of bookkeeping means not only an assured in

young lady," wrote the late Harriet Heecher Stowe,
“could have a better safeguard against adversities
of fortune or abetter resource in a time of need, than a
good knowledge of business affairs.”

crime, I reeled forward, meaning, I pre
sume. to rush down tlie .steps shouting
for help, when, suddenly, something fell
splashing on my shirt front, and I saw
myself marked witli a stain of blood.
This both frightened and bewildered me,
and it was a minute or two before I had
the courage to look up. When I did do
so. I saw whence this drop had comei
Not from her, though the red stream
was pouring down the rich folds of her
dress, but from n sharp needlelike in
strument which had been thrust, point
downward. In the open work of an an
tique lantern hanging near the doorway.
What had happened to me might have
happened to any one who chanced to be
In that spot at that special moment, but
I did not realize this then. Covering the
splash with my hands. I edged inyselt
■back to the door by which I had entered,
watching those deathful eyes and enisl
ing under my feet the remnants of some
■broken china with which the carpet was
bestrewn. T hail no thought , of her,
hardly any of myself. To cross the room
was all; to escape as secretly as I earn*,
‘before the portiere so nearly drawn be
tween me and the main hall should stir
under the hand of some curious person
entering. It was my first sight of blood;
my first contact with crime, and that
was what IJ did.—I fled.”
I he last word was uttered with n gasp.
Evidently lie was greatly affected by this
horrible experience.
"I am ashamed of myself." lie mut
tered, but nothing can now* undo tiie
fact. T slid from the presence of this
murdered woman as though she had been,
I lie victim of my own rage or cupidity:
atid, being fortunate enough to reach
the dressing room before the alarm had
spread beyond the immediate vicinity ot
the alcove, found and put on the hand
kerchief, wiiich made it possible for me
to rush down and find Miss Van Arsdaie
who, someone told me. had fainted. Not
fill I stood over her in that remote
corner beyond the supper room did I
again think of the gloves. What I did
when T happened to think of them, you
already know. I could have shown no
greater cowardice if I had known that,
the murdered woman's diamond was hid
den inside them. Yet, I did not know
tliis. or even suspect it. Nor do I under
stand, now, her reason for placing It
there. Why should Mrs. Fairbrother risk
such an invaluable gem to the custody of
one slie knew so little? An unconscious
custody, too? Was siie afraid of being
murdered if she retained this jewel?”
The Inspector thought a fnoment, and
then said:
"lou mention your dread of some one
entering by the one door before you could
escape by the other. Do you' refer to
the friend you left sitting on the divan
opposite?”
"No. my friend had left that seat. The
portiere was sufficiently drawn for me
to detect that. If j had waited a min
ute longer," lie bitterly added. "I should
have found my way open to the regular
entrance, and so escaped all this.”
"Mr. Durand, you are not obliged to
answer any of niv questions; but, if you
wish, you may tell me whether, at this
moment of aprehension you thought of
the danger you ran of being seen from
outside (by some one of the many coach
men passing by on the driveway?"
"No,—I did not even think of the win
dow,—T don't know why; but, if any
one passing by did see me. I hope they
saw enough to substantiate my story. '
The inspector made no reply. He seem
ed to be thinking. I heard afterward
that the curtains, looped back in the
early evening, had been found hanging
at full length over the window by those
who first rushed in upon the scene of
death. Had he hoped to entrap Mr. Du
rand into some damaging admission? Or
was he merely testing his truth? n,s
expression afforded no due to his
tthouglits. and Mr. Durand, noting this,
remarked with some dignity:
“I do not expect strangers to accept
these explanations, which must sound
strange and inadequate in face of tne
proof I carry of having been with ttiat
woman after the fatal weapon struck
her heart. But, to one who knows ine,
and knows me well, 1 can surelv appeal
for credence to a tale which T here de
clare to he as true as if T had sworn
to it in a court of justice."
"Anson!" I passionately cried out.
loosening my clutch upon my uncle's
arms. My confidence in him had re
turned.
And then, as T noted the inspector's
businesslike air. and my uncle's waver
ing look and unconvinced manner. T felt
my heart swell, and. flinging all discre
tion to the wind. I bounded eagerly for
ward. Baying mv hands in those of
Mr Durand, T cried fervently:
“I believe in you. Nothing but your
own words shall ever shake my confi
dence in your innocence."
The sweet, glad look T received was
mv hest reply. T could leave the room,
after that.
But rot tlie house. Another experience
awaited me. a Waited tis all. before this
full, eventful evening came to a close.

THE PENALTY.
Beneath an oak tree, stanch and high,
A fragile blossom came to dwell;
It smiled back to the summer sky
And seemed to love the world so well!
'Twas good and fair, so who shall blame
The sorrowing of an autumn day?
With summer time it sweetly came;
AVith summer time it passed away.
And stil ltlie tree defiant stood
And felt the rain and faced the blast.
For nature taught him it was good
To stand unfaltering to the last.
To linger thus when all is bleak.
Where smiles have lived a summer's
length,
lls not commended to tlie weak;
It is the. penalty of strength.

GRANDMA’S SECOND SURPRISE
A Thanksgiving Story.

tlie cushions.
''Wljat lias happened?” excitedly ques
tioned some of the home ‘party, when
thc beautiful eyes opened and smiled into
their anxious faces.
“Don’t look so ft ightened, please; it's
oi.Iy my ankle—the Jar on the rough
toads made it pain me so, but it is com
fort a hie now.”
"She stepped in a bole that was cov
ered with leaves,” explained Fred; “her
foot was caught in such a way as to
throw her to tlie ground, wrenching her
ankle. I’ll ride over for tlie duct r, for
fear it’s something worse. It had bet
ter be examined.”
Meanwhile, grandma bathed and wrap
ped the swollen foot in her favorite lin
iment. until Gr’ice declared it was nearly
well and insisted on being propped 1 up so
that she could direct the decorations.
Grandpa and the boys climbed up ail old
ladder and nailed vines and bright
hunches of autumn leaves and berries.
1 filing their thumbs tis often as tlie
nails. They were gaily in the midst ot
i' when Fred walked i:i with Dr. William
Deade. Grace was pointing in the di
rection of a picture wiieie Grandpa Silas
vas trying to arrange an immense bunch
of yellow poplar leaves to suit his fas
tidious decorator, when, turning her
eyes, she eaught a glimpse of tlie doc
tor. Her arm fell. Her sentence was
unfinished, the color left her cheek and
T red. expecting her to faint again, wont
ti her, asking:
“What is it, Grace; are you worse?”
“Oh, my ankle! Please take me to
li.y room, Fred."
Beckoning to tlie doctor to follow.
Fred carried her into grandma’s cozy
1 edroom. where a tiro burned brightly,
and laid her on the high, oid-fashioned
•father belt. Grace not knowing tiie doc
tor was asked to follow, whispered.
“Sentd him away. I can't see him. I
really can't. Make up some excuse.”
Hat it was too late and without for
mality. the young doctor began to ex
amine tlie ankle. Grace lay motionless,
her eyes closed, while lie bandaged and
dressed her ankle as gently as a wo
man. Fred, thinking her stillness from
weakness, went for a glass of water.
Dr. Heade now lost his calmness of
manner, bending over tlie fair, colorless
face, he whispered:
“Miss Grace, don't be troubled on mv
pi- ount. I will not mention that we are
i ot strangers, if it will please you.”
Tears oozed from beneath the long
lushes; otherwise not a feature moved
to show tiiat siie had heard tiie liastv

Don’t, Aliss Grace. T can't stand

Grace’s eyes opened with astonish
ment. as she said emphatically:
"1 did not."
“it was redirected in your school
mate. Nan Adams,’ hand. I know, be
cause siie wrote to me several times,
on tlie pretext of telling me news of
you; hut I surmised siie was not true
to you, and have heard tiiat siie boast

“Oh. William. liow could she! I
trusted her with all my secrets! I have
been so blind. I see it all now plainly.”
"Then, dearest, you stil! love me,
will be my little wife?" he asked
breatiessly.
“Love you.” Grace whispered, “niy
heart has been torn with grief—”
Footsteps were heard, and Fred en
tered xvitli a glass of rich milk, which
Grace drank with a relish, of any hut
an exhausted patient, which puzzled
him.
"Dinner is ready,” said Fred, “mother
wishes me to ask you to join us. Dr.
Heade," and just then the hostess ap
peared at tlie door, to urge the doctor
to accept the invitation, which he
readily did. They had a merry meal,
highly delighted with the substituted
turkey. Grace had entirely recovered
her usual gay spirits, and seemed bent
on teasing the young doctor, much to
Grandma’s perplexity, although the
doctor appeared to enjoy it immense
ly. When, to top off tlie dinner, a
great pitcher of foaming cider was
brought in. Dr. Heade arose, and hold
ing his brimming glass uplifted, an
nounced to tlie group:
“Let us drink to the health of this
Thanksgiving reunion, and the acci
dent which brought Miss Grace tand f
together, after a separation, caused by

The close of the Alpine season has been
marred by the most terrible accident of

roped together on the Plan-Neve glacier
at the foot of the Paschen peak, a moun
tain nearly 9.000 feet high.
The unfortunate tourists, whose names
are not yet known, arrived on Saturday
afternoon at Les Plans, above Bex. From
their conversation it was gathered that

they came over from Lausanne for the
week-end and that they were students.
The hotel keeper tried to persuade them
not to climb the i>eak, but they laughed
at his fears, and one said: "Do you
think we are rich Englishmen''" An
other remarked that he had climbed the
Swiss mountains for years without
guides.
They left the hotel about 9 o'clock on
Sunday morning, and nothing more is
known of their movements. When they
set out the guides warned them to be
careful, as much fresh snow had fallen,
and many places were exceedingly dan-
geroit*.
When their bodies were found todav
by two Swiss woodcutters they were al
most unrecognizable. Nearly every bone
in their bodies was broken, and the
blood they had lost was frozen to their
clothing.
From the traces they found in the
snow tiie woodcutters surmise that two
of the climbers were experienced, and
the other two novices. The rope is be
lieved to have broken at an awkward
turning after two of the men had slip
ped, and dragged tiie others with them.
They must have fallen a great dis
tance. Three of the bodies lay a few
yards apart. Thc fourth lay about 50
yards away.
WHERE ARE THEY?
