“You will pardon ms if 1 press this mat
ter. I have been given to understand
that, notwithstanding your break with
Miss Chailoner, you have kept up your
visits to the Clermont. gnd*were even on
the spot at the time of her death."
“On the spot?"
“In the hotel. I mean."
“There you are right; I was in the h<>-
tel."
“At the time of her death?"
“Very near the time. I remember
hearing some disturbance in the lobby
behind me, Just as I was passing out at
the Broadway entrance."
“You did -and did not return?"
"Why should I return? 1 am not a man
of much curiosity. There was no rea
son why 1 should connect a sudden alarm
In the lobby of the Clermont with any
cause of special interest to myself."
This was go true and the look which
accompanied the words was so frank that
the coroner hesitated a moment before
he said.
“Certainly not, unless well, to be di
rect, unless you had lust seen Miss Chal
loner and knew her state of mind and
what was likely to follbw your abrupt
departure."
“I had no interview with Miss Chal
loner."
“But you saw her? Saw her that even
ing. and just before the accident?"
Sweetwater's papers rattled; it was the
only sound to be heard in that moment
of silence Then
"What do you mean by those words?”
inquired Mr. Brotherson. with studied
composure. "I have said that I had no
interview with Miss Chailoner Why do
you ask me then If I saw her?"
“Because I believe that you did. From
• distance possibly , but yet directly and
with no possibility of mistake.
“Do you put tb.at as a question?"
"I do. Did you see her figure or face
that night?"
“1 did.”
Nothing—not even the rattling of
Sweetwater's papers disturbed the si
lence which followed this admission
"From where?" Dr. Heath asked at lasi
"From a point far enough away to
make any communication between us im
possible. I do not fliitdt you will re
quire me to recall the exact spot."
"If it were one which made it possi
ble for her to see you as clearly as you
eould see her, I think it would be very
advisable for you to say so."
“It was such a spot.”
"Then I think I can locate It for you, or
do you prefer to locate it yourself?”
“1 will locate it myself I had hoped
not to be called upon to mention what
I can not but consider a most unfortu
nate coincidence. As a gentleman, you
will understand my reticence and also
why it Is a matter of regret to me that
with an acumen worthy of your position
you should have discovered a fact which,
while it can not explain Miss Challoner's
death, will drag our little affair before the
public, and possibly give it a prominence
in some minds which 1 am sure does not
belong to ft. I met Miss Challoner's eye
for one instant from the top of the little
staircase running up to the mezzanine. I
had yielded thus far to an impulse 1 had
frequently combated, to seek by another
interview to retrieve the bad effect which
must have been made upon her by my
angry note I knew that she frequently
wrote letters In the mezzanine at this
hour, and got as far as the top of the
staircase in my effort to Join her. But 1
got no further. When I saw her on her
feet, with her face turned my way. I re
membered the scorn with which she had
received my former heartfelt proposals,
and. without taking another step for
ward. I turned away from her and tied

I— ■ Hi _
Atlanta Gas Light Co. «4s
Miss Challoner's fine taste and careful
breeding, might see in such a situation
much for regret, if not for active despair
and the suicidal act He gave no evi
dence of this thought, however, but fol
lowed up the one admission made by Mr.
Brotherson which he and others must
naturally view as of the first importance.
"You saw Miss Challoner lift her hand,
vou say Which hand, and what was in
1 it? Anything?”
"She lifted her right hand, but it would
be impossible for me to tell you whether
there was anything in It or not. I simply
saw the movement before 1 turned away.
It looked like one of alarm to me. I felt
that she had some reason for this. She
cfaild not know that it was In repentance
I came rather than In fulfilment of my
t h reat '
A sigh from the adjoining room. Mr.
Brotherson rose, as he heard It. and in
doing so met the clear eye of Sweetwater
fixed upon his own. Its language was, no
doubt, peculiar and it seemed to fasci
nate him for a moment, for he started
as if to approach the detective, but for
sook this intention almost immediately,
and addressing the coroner, gravely re
marked; ' «
Her death following so quickly upon
this abortive attempt of mine at an inter
view startled me by Its coincidence as
much as It does you. If in the weakness
of her woman's nature, it was more than
this—if the scorn she had previously
shown me was a cloak she Instinctively
assumed to hide what she was not ready
to disclose, my remorse wil be as great
As any one here could wish. But the
proof of all this will have to be very con
vincing before my present convictions
will yield to it Some other and more
poignant source will have to be found for
that Instant's Impulsive act than is sup
plied by this story of my unfortunate at
tachment."
Dr. Heath was convinced, but he was
willing to concede something to the secret
demand made upon him by Sweetwater,
Who was bundling up his papers with
much clatter.
Looking up with a smile which had ele
ments in it lie was hardly conscious of
perhaps himself, he asked In an off-hand
way:
"Then why did you take such pains to
wash your hands of the affair the moment
you bad" left the hotel?"
"I do not understand ”
"You passed around the corner into
street, did you not?"
j "V ery likely I could go that way as
■ well as another "
" And you stopped at,the first lamp
i pOSt?"
"Oh. I see Someone saw that childish
action of mine "
"What did you mean by it?”
".hist what you have suggested I did
go through the pantomime of washing my
hands of an affair I considered definitely
ended. I had resisted an irrepressible
impulse to see and talk with Miss Chal
loner again, and was pleased with my
firmness. Unaware of the tragic blow
which had just fallen, I was frill of self
congratulations at my escape from the
charm which had lured me back to this
hotel again and again In spite of my bet
' ter judgment, and I wished to symbolize
my relief by an act of which 1 was, in
another moment, ashamed Strange that
there should have been a witness to it.
(Here he stole al look at Sweetwater.)
Stranger still, that circumstances by the
most extraordinary of coincidences, should
have given so unforeseen a to it.”
"You are right, Mr. Brotherson. The
whole occurrence Is startling and most
strange. But life is made up of the un
expected, as none know better than we
physicians, whether our practice be of a
public or private character."
As Mr. Brotherson left the room, the
curiouslty to which he had yielded gnee
before, led him to east a glance of pene
trating inquiry behind him full at Sweet
water, ami If either felt embarrassment,
It was not the hunted but the hunter.
But the feeling did not last.
“I've simply met the strongest man
I ve ever encountered." was Sweetwater’s
encouraging comment to himself “All
the more glory If I can find a joint in his
armour or a hidden passage to his cold,
secretive heart."
Alike in Essentials.
"Mr tlryee, I am either a fool or the
, luckiest fellow going You must deckle

The aged detective, thus addressed, laid
down his evening paper and endeavored
to make out the dim form he could Just
faintly discern standing between him and
the library door.
"Sweetwater, is that you?”
"No one else Sweetwater, the fool, or
, Sweetwater, much too wise for his own
gyod 1 don't know which Perhaps you
' can find out and tell me."
A grunt from the region of the library
table, then the sarcastic remark:

The Kind You Have Always Bought
By MARIE BAXTTER.
ONLY once in my life did I make
an attempt at "beauty culture" —
beyond the ordinary care that
every vain girl bestows upon herself.
Don't challenge that adjective—every
girl Is vain, or ought to be. It's vanity
1 that makes the feminine world go
! 'round, until love comes upon the scene.
I was spending the'summer in one of
those delightful places where the high
er thought cults abound and almost
every person telongs to a different kind
of a religion fnd dotes upon a special
sort of "Ism.' I was the youngest per
son at the resort and naturally was
made much of by the older people, who
, expected me to become a devotee of
their especial fads.
1 The Vegetarian Cult.
I One beautiful old lady made a great
impression upon me and finally won
me over to her- "ism" by telling me that
it would make me a raving beauty and
give me a long life.
1 She was a vegetarian and T became
, one, too, but in the country; in the
, pure, invigorating air, bread and milk,
, vegetables and fruit formed my diet,
• and 1 never was so well in my life. My
complexion was perfect. I say that
truthfully and without exaggeration.
My eyes were bright and the white
part of the eye clear and a little blue-
. Ish. like that of a healthy child.
. "Vegetarianism" was my answer to
■ those who asked how I had accom
plished this change in my appearance,
and I preached the gospel of a Ineat
less diet with as much enthusiasm as
any of the others.
I returned to town in September and
began rehearsing
My new. fad rather upset the house
hold. for there were sb many things I
would not eat —no soup, no meat of
fish, no dish with meat sauce, and often
I felt hungry after eating what I could
of the family dinner. My rosy cheeks
soon vanished and purple shadows
came under my eyes. My voice also
■ seemed to lose resonance.
I had good deal of dancing to do
1 in the new play, and at rehearsals I
grew tired before the others.
One day. seeing me stumble over a
new step, the stage manager snarled at
me and I broke into tears.
He was a kind-hearted man. They
often are despite their manner.
"What's the matter, little girl?" he
asked.

He looked flabbergasted.
"She’s a vegetarian!" explained the

I have followed his advice, which was
A irtually the same as the doctor's whom
1 insisted on consulting.
In winter when I am in town I eat
meat sparingly, but at least once a day
—beef or lamb usually. In summer
when I am in the country, I eat no
meat at all. The doctor says that if
all women did this they would never
grow very fat and many complexion
troubles would be avoided.
Being a vegetarian is almost a busi
ness in itself, because you have to
spend so much time and thought com
bining the right kind of foods. Most

like my luncheon of salad and lemon

Two Maids and a Man
By Beatrice Fairfax
(I T OVB," says Francesco Petrarch.
| "is the crowning grace of hu
manity. the holiest right of the
soul, the golden link .which binds us to
duty and truth, the redeeming principle
that chiefly reconciles the heart to life
and is prophetic of eternal good.”
Love, In the opinion of the writer of
the following letter, is such a trifling
thing that one can give it up for a few
dollars and cents and never regret the
bargain.
Sometimes one has to be deprived to
learn appreciation. This man thinks
little of love. He will cherish it be
yond all things when he has put it for
ever beyond his reach.
He writes: “I am twenty-four, and
have for eight years been sweethearts
with a girl In Austria. I have been in
this country five years, and had prom
ised her to return to Austria the com
ing fall and marry her and bring her
to this country.
He’s In a Quandary.
“Three months ago I met a young
girl who thinks a great deal of me.
She is the daughter of a very wealthy
real estate man and her parents have
taken a great liking to me. If T would
marry this girl (and I am sure she
would not reject me) I would see my
way clear. On the one side is the real
love and on the other side the money.
I do not know what to do. If I marry
the first girl I wil] have to worry about
the future, as I am making only $22 a
week and have no chance of bettering
myself, although my position is a
steady’ one. If I married the second
girl I would not worry about the fu
ture at all."
That is true: you wouldn't. And the
reason is there wouldn't be any fu
ture. Any man who marries for money
hasn't as much future as the man on
the way to the gallows.
You say you get only’ $22 a week
Men have married and saved money on
much less, and have known happiness
all the way.
You say you have no chance of bet
teiing yourself You are demeaning
yourself. Any man who is honest, re
liable. faithful and has ambition and
ability can better himself. It is a case
of not wanting to rise, if he remain!
at the bottom. You have every chance
for advancement. That remains with
yourself. A girl who has been true to
you eight years will be Just the In
centive you now lack.
There might be worry with a wife
and a small income, but the worry that
is built about love is not t,uch a heavy
affliction. It is the worry that hedges
around indifference or dislike that frets
and galls.
