Now. ! do not think it will so very hard to show that this Broth orsnn cherished feelings of revenge to ward Miss Chailoner. Rut I have to ac knowledge right here and now that the most skillful and vigorous pumping of the janitor and such other tenants of the p , ks street tenement as 1 have dared to approach, fails to show that he has ever beM any communication with Mrs. Spotts, nr even knew of her existence until her remarkable death attracted his attention. 1 have spent all the afternoon over this, and with no result. A complete break in : the chain at the very start.” Humph! we will set that down, then, a* so much against us.” The next, and this is a bitter pill too. is rhe almost insurmountable difficulty already recognized of determining how a man. without approaching his victim, ' could manage to Inflict, a mortal stab in ; her breast. No cloak of complete invis- j ibility has yet been found, even by the i cleverest criminals.” 'True The problem is such as a night- j mare offers. For years my dreams have 1 hn-n haunted by a gnome who proposes; just such puzzles.” "But there’s an answer to everything, i end I'm sure there’s an answer to this. I Remember his business. He's an invent- j or. with startling ideas. So much I've ! seen for myself. You may stretch prob abilities a little in his ease: and with this conceded, we may add byway of offset to the difficulties you mention, coinci- ' dences of time and circumstance, and his villainous heart, oh, I know that ! am l prejudiced; but wait and see! Miss Chai- I loner was well rid of him even nt the i cost of her life.” "She loved him. Even her father he- 1 lieves that now. Some lately discovered letters have come to light to prove that ‘ she was by no means so heart free a« he ; supposed. One of her friends, it seems.

"By Mr. Challoner." "Oh! by Mr Challoner." "He Is greatly distressed at having the disgraceful suggestion of suicide attached to his daughter's name Notwithstanding ’he circumstances- notwithstanding iis full recognition of her secret predilection for a man of whom he had never heard till the night of her death, he can not believe that she struck the blow she did, ! Intentionally. He sent for me in order to inquire if anything could be done to reinstate her In public opinion. He dared not Insist that another had wielded the weapon which laid her low so suddenly, but he asked if, In my experience, it had i never been known that a woman, hyper sensitive to some strong man's magnetic Influence, should so follow bis thought os to commit an act which never could have arisen in her own mind, uninflu enced. He evidently does not like Broth erson either." "And what—what did you—say?” asked Sweetwater, with a halting utterance and ils face full of thought. "I simply quoted the latest authority on hypnotism, that no person even in ; i' ■ notic sleep could be influenced by an other to do what was antagonistic to his natural instincts." Latest authority That doesn't mean * final one. Supposing that it was hyp notism! But that woifidn't account fori Mrs. Spotts’ death.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young lady of twenty and have birii ke. ping company with a .voting man of 23 so: the lost two years, and became engaged to him three months ago. About three weeks ago I was In formed by a very dear friend tha* she saw him on the st'eet intoxi cated. which I would not believe, but I asked him gnd he admitted it, I lost faith, in him and told him that I would have to break off our engagement, as 1 had lost all re spect for him and didn't want him to call again. He felt badly about it and wants me to overlook this and make friends again, but I think that, as he has this awful habit, it would not be safe for me to marry him, although I think the world of him, and will have to make a great ' effort in giving him up.

Garside SOME thirty years ago, when the I.ysander John Appletons lived on a farm, the live stock was increased by the arrival of a weak, wabbly leg ged ealf. It was so weak that it was threatened with starvation. I.ysander John gave the calf to his wife. I’nder her care it thrived, and the wabbly legs grew firm and strong. A few months later he sold it for S4O. "It is your money,” he said to his wife, "but I will keep it and you can draw on mi as you want it." She began drawing on her ealf mon ey the same spring. ”1 want S2O for a silk dress," she said. "You know you owe me for the ealf so you just charge it to that." Lysander John gave her the money (ml was much pieased with himself. "It is better," he argued, "than if she had it all at once to blow In." A few weeks later sh' blew $9 for a parlor lamp; a few days later she drew $7 for a silk shawl, and then she be gan to lose count. Lysander John has figures to prove that up to date he lias paid her $7,321 ealf money, and she, being a woman, claims there is money still coming to her. f do not take Substitutes or imitations Get theWell-Known jS S BiF Round Package Bn!

Wasn't it her calf? If he suggests mildly that there should be something laid aside for the future, she answers very complacently, "Well, there's my ealf money. We can always fall back on that.” The children have learned that when their father can't afford what they want, their mother will see that they get it out of ihe calf money, and for 30 years there has been a. steady raid on the S4O the wabbly calf brought. Lysander John chewed the end ot a stubby pencil last night with a per plexed look and furrows in his brow. He was wondering why his figures fail ed to prove to his wife that she was six thousand two hundred and eighty-one dollars overdrawn. Then his wife came in. “I want S6O for pin money," she be gan. Seeing his look of dissent, she added: “You know you owe it to me out of that calf money.” Then Lysander John collapsed. "There is no use.” he groaned, “in trying to keep an account with a wom an.”
