A Concession. "It Is true; there seems to be some thing extraordinary in the coincidence." Thus Mr Brotherson, in the presence of ths. tnapeotor "But that Is all there Is to it,” he easily proceeded. "I knew Miss Chal kmer and I have already said how much and how little I had to do with her death The other woman I did not know at all; I did not even know her name A prose cution based on grounds so flimsy as those you advance would savor of persecution, would It not?” The inspector, surprised by this unex pected attack, regarded the speaker with an interest rather augmented than dimin ished by his boldness The smile with which he had uttered these concluding words yet lingered on his lips, lighting up features of a mould too suggestive of command to be associated readily with guilt. That the Impression thus pro duced was favorable, was evident from the tone of the Inspector's reply: 'We have said nothing about prosecu tion, Mr. Brotherson. We hope to avoid any such extreme measures, and that we may the more readily do so. we have given you this opportunity to make such explanation* as the situation, which you yourself have characterized as remark able, seems to call for.” "I am ready. But what am 1 called upon to explain" I really can not see, sir. Knowing nothing more about either case than you do, I fear that I shall not add muoh to your enlightenment.” "You can tell us why with your seem ing culture and obvious means, you choose to spend so much time In a sec ond-rate tenement Hke the one in Hicks street.” Again that chill smile preceding the quiet answer: ’’Have you seen my room there? It is piled to the ceiling with books. When I was a poor man, I chose the abode suited to my purse and my passion for first rate reading As I grew belter off, my time became daily more valuable. I have never seen the hour when 1 felt like mov ing that precious collection.

Dove drove me to ape the gentleman in the halls of the Clermont; a broad human Interest in the work of the world, to live as a fellow among the mechanics of Hicks street .” But why make use of one name as a gentleman of leisure and quite a different one as the honest workman?” "Ah, there you touch upon my real secret. I have a reason for keeping my Identity quiet till my invention is com pleted.” "A reason connected with your an archistic tendencies?" "Possibly.” But the word was uttered in away to carry little conviction. "I am not much of an anarchist.” lie now took the trouble to declare.-with a care less lift of his shoulders. "I like fair play, but I shall never give you much trouble by my manner of insuring it I have too much at stake My Invention Is dearer to me than the overthrow of present in stitutions Nothing must stand in the way of Its success, not even the satisfac tton of inspiring terror in minds shut to every other species of argument. I have uttered my last speech, you can rely on me for that.” "We are glad to hoar it, Mr Dunn Physical overthrow- carries more than Hie immediate sufferer with it." If this were meant as an irritant, it did not act successfully. The social agitator, the political demagogue, the orator whose honeyed tones ha<l rung with biting in vective in the ears of the United Brother hood of the Awl. the Plane and the Trow el, simply bowed and calmly waited for the next attack. Perhaps it was of a nature to surprise even him "We have no wish,” continued the in spector, "to probe too closely into con cerns seemingly quite removed from the main issue You say that you are ready, nay more, are even eager to answer all questions You will probably be anxious then to explain away a discrepancy be tween your word and your conduct, which has come to our attention You were known to have expressed the intention ot spending the afternoon of Mrs. Spotts' death in New York and were supposed to have done so. yet you were certainly seen in the crowd which Invaded that real building at the first alarm Are you con sclous of possessing a double, or did you fall to cross the river as you expected to?" “I am glad this has come up." The tone was one of self-congratulation which would have shaken Sweetwater sorely had he been admitted to this unofficial examination "I have never confided to any one the story of my doings on that unhappy afternoon, because I knew of no one who would take any interest in them.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young lady of twenty and have been keeping company with a young man of 23 for the last two years, and became engaged to him three months ago. About three weeks ago I was in formed by a very dear friend that she saw him on the street intoxi cated, which I would not believe, but I asked him and he admitted it, 1 lost faith, in him and told him that I would have to break off our engagement, as I 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.

CASTOR IA For Infant* and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Daysey Mayme and Her Folks By Frances L. Garside SOME thirty years ago, when the Lysander John Appletons lived o'n a farm, the live stock was increased by the arrival of a weak, wabbly leg ged calf. It was so weak that it was threatened with starvation. Lysander John gave the calf to his wife. Under 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 me as you want it.” She began drawing on her calf mon ey the same spring. "I want S2O for a silk dress,” she said. “You know you owe me for the calf, so you just charge it to that.” Lysander John gave her the money and was much pleased with himself. “It is better,” he argued, “than if she had it all at once to blow in.” A few weeks later she 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 has paid her $7,321 calf money, and she, being a woman, claims there is money still coming to her. r do not take Substitutes or imitations Round Package HORLICK’S gSBSI MALTED MILK hWIHISiWJ Made in the largest, best equipped and sanitary Malted Mllk plant In the world e d° not ma ke*/ni7A: products — Skim Milk * Condensed Milk. etc. But the Genuine HORLICK’S MALTED MILK I \ la I de from P ure * hdl-cream milk -•" an ? th ® extract of select malted grain, reduced to powder form, soluble in MllK water - The Food-drink for All Agen.
