the Third Shot Proved Fatal. Mrs.
Shay Testified That Her Brother's
Life was Lost in That Manner.
John J. Shay, former chief of police
of Scottdale, charged with the murder
of hie brother in law, John Welsh, was
acquitted by the jury at Greensburg
Friday. The jury went out at 1 o’clock
tbnt afternoon Shay killed Welsh with
a bullet from his revolver, claiming that
his brother in law was throwing stones
at the windows at hishome. He claimed
in bis testimony that he would not have
shot Welsh had his wife not grabbed his
arm aH he tired and sent the bullet in
the direction of her brother. He said he
was aiming at a point away from Welsh
,inst to frighten him. Mrs. Shay corro-borated
the statement of her husband,
declaring that she believed she was the
innocent cause of the killing of her
brother.
At 10 o’clock the same night R. B.
Faith, of New Kensington, Vas acquit-ted
of the murder of Robert MeSherry.

Greensburg for the alleged stealing of a
30 cent pair of gloves.
William Shipley, against whom a
verdict of second degree murder was re-turned
for the fatal stabbing of Robert
Gallagher at McCance on July 27, was
in such a noticeable state, of intoxica-tion
when the verdict was returned on
Thursday afternoon that Judge Doty
remanded him into the custody of the J
sheriff.
Two of the Italian assailants of Con
stable Thomas Washabangh were sen-tenced
to seven years each to the peni-tentiary,

twin babies, was acquitted and the other

about 8:30 o’clock Saturday night, Night
Operator J. W. Ezell deliberately cut
the throat of William G. Porter, yard-master
of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
railroad, in the presence of Day Opera-tor
Peter Coyne. The wound was in-flicted
with a razor, and Porter's head
was almost severed from his body. The
injured man livedjbnt a few seconds af-ter
he received the fatal slash. When
the wi nass to the tragedy found Porter
was dead be sounded an alarm, bat the
murderer had made his escape,].
Ezell was the night operator at New-ell.
He came there about four weeks
ago from Pittsburg, and it is claimed
that his work had been quite unsatisfac
tory lately. Last Friday was pay day,
and it is claimed that Ezell reported in
an unfit condition for work. The mat-ter
was reported to Chief Dispatcher
Frederick S. Weigel, but as the com-pany
is short of operators, Ezell was or-dered
to report for duty Saturday night.
The victim, who leaves a wife and fam-ily,
was telephoning the murderer's
unfit condition to the Bellevernon office
when Ezell, with an oath, sprang on him
with-a razor.

Nice Leap Year Party.
Twenty young ladies here gave a
nicely appointed leap year party in Mc-

Local Royal Arcanum Ball Team Lost
the Series.
Probably not less than fifteen hundred
people witnessed the second, and what
pr >ved to be the deciding, game of the
case hall series between the Mount
Pleasant and Connellsville Royal Arca-num,
teams, played at Frick Park last
Thursday afternoon. It was a rattling
contest that kept everybody guessing
until the last man weut out in the ninth
inning. Brechbill and Hatfield were the
battery for the losers and did excellent
work as did also their support. They
lost simply because they were not up in
team work, in which Connellsville ex-celled.
The victors scored twice in the
first inning, while Manager I. R. Smith’s
pets got but one although they tied the
score in the third inning. But one more
tally was made and that by Conneils-ville
in the seventh. Hatfield’s circus
catch of a high foul and Emerson
Wright’s batting were the marned feat-ure
of the game which "Cob” Milbee. of
this place, and Whaley, of New Haven,
umpired in the most satisfactory man-ner.
The Yorks downed the glass house
blowers Saturday 20 to 5.
The Connellsville Elks team will bo
here to play the Royal Arcanum boys at
Frick Park tomorrow afternoon at 3:30.
A warm argument can be expected.
One on Daddy Stever..
When Otto Stever returned* to his
Stanffer home from Greensburg Thurs--.
day evening there was such a racket in
the barn that he felt sure there was a
fight on and he threw off his coat. But
it was only a surprise party being given
for his youngest hopeful, Master Emer—-
son. The old man at once cooled off and
joined in the fun.

A NERVY
MURDERER.
i
Milovar Kovovick, Who Killed Contractor
Samuel Ferguson, Sings on the Way
to the Scaffold.
HE WOUND UP WITH I UTILE DANCE.
Milovar Kovovick was hanged in the Washington county jail at 10:24
last Thursday morning for the murder of Contractor Samuel Ferguson. At
/10:35 his heart was still beating. He was pronounced dead at 10:40 and the
S' body was cut down at 10:45.
Whether it was with a spirit of bravado or not, he went to his doom one
of the nerviest murderers that ever expiated his crime on the scaffold. The
spectators were astonished when they heard a loud cry coming from his cell
as the line of march was being arranged. As Kovovick emerged from the
Jail door, he ascended the platform and began dancing, at the same time
* singing at the top ot his voice. He faced the large crowd, which numbered
probably 250 persons, without a tremor apparently, and continued his dan-cing
until he stepped on the trap door. One woman, Miss Margaret Tucker,
of Washington, was among the spectators.

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In Chinn s
Show at the World’s Fair—The Most
Populous Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.
Many expositions of stupendous char-acter
make up the World's Fair of
1904. Each pnrt Is n vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful things—wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The faet that China 1ms not been a
large exhibitor at world’s fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional, it is a wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, Which have found a
vast market In the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted tier to make n dis-play
of tens that we should not for-got.
In sealed glass Jars China displays In
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1,800
kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Did
Hjsoti have n string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chaiu of a
Plymouth Itock. They are neatly se-lected
“chops,” in the language of the
ten farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rntlicr modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight In gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other—
that is to say, the ten of this expensive
kind is worth about $20 gold an ounce.
Only a very small quantity of this ex-clusive
leaf Is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-tions
or gardens right under the shad-ows
of tile great wall of China. Its cul-tivation
Is prohibited for any use save
for the Imperial family of China and a
few of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
“chop” in connection with tea. and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va-rious
districts of the Chinese empire on
in an area Of tea land of. say. a thou-sands
acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may lie some forty,
fifty or more owners of the plantation
ani consequently a like number of
“chops” of ten.
It must not lie imagined that nil these
different owners of the tea get ilie
same price for their commodity—far
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for Im-proving
the quality nnd flavor of tea.
Take, for instance, the Amoy nnd Eu-clidu
districts, whence most of the ten
for the United States comes. The own-ers
of "chops” of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests of 50 pounds each bring
samples of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat-ter
turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good offices of the foreign or
American professional tea taster, who
passes on the goods ns to price. The
ten taster lias the samples Infused, not
boiled, In ids presence nnd passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
of curing, fixing a price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-tion
and which the tea grower must ac-
■ept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares, lu a single tract of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from 14 cents, the lowest, to
48Vj cents, the highest, per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ
cers. A matter of great moment that
also figures In the price of tea is
that very often lea from the same dis-trict
will have the various "chops"
blended together in order to produce
special flavors.

targe areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the ense, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun-dreds
of different men, whose individ-ual
plots of ground hearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out. so
that each individual owner may culti-vate
and pick his own crop of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea nnd puts his own special mark, or
“chop," on the packages. Hence the
term “chop” signifies an individual
grovyth or picking of tea b.v one owner.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOUBNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904.
FRIGHTFUL
ACCIDENT.
A Pennsylvania Coal Train Runs Away and
is Wrecked on the Horse-shoe
Curve.
THE Mill KILLED,
One of the most frightful accidents in the history of the Pennsylvania
railroad occurred at the famous Horseshoe curve, five miles west of Altoona,
shortly after 11 o’clock last Wednesday night when a freight engine and 35
loaded cars left the track and plunged hundreds of feet down the steep em-bankment.
Both tracks were blocked and the financial loss was very heavy.
The trainmen killed were Engineer William Boardman, Conductor S.
H. Cunningham and Head Brakeman Charles Lohr, all of Pitcairn. They
went over the embankment with the train. Fireman William Harmon, also
of Pitcairn, and Joseph Tobas, a Cleveland tramp, were badly hurt.

Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see a mother, with babe in arms, cough-ing
violently and exhibiting all the
symptoms of a consumptive tendency.
And why should this dangerous condi
tion exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when Dr. Bosehee’s German
Syrup would put a stop to it at onceV
No mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house—for its
timely use will promptly cure any lung,
throat or bronchial trouble in herself or
her children. The worst cough or cold
can be speedily cured by German Syrup;
so can hoarseness and congestion of the
bronchial tubes. It makes expectora -
tiou easy, and gives instant relief and
refreshing rest to the cough racked con-sumptive.
New trial bottles. 25c; large

the thief is sure to find it should he care

WHAT’S THE USE
of taking chances of your money being
stolen when you can put it in a bank?
It will make money for you there. Why
not save a part of every dollar earned
and the time will come when your ac-cumulations
will take care of itself and
you. All your dollars are willing to
work for you at 4 per cent interest.

THAT LOST BALL UAHE.
In giving the Recount of the deciding
game in the series between the Mount
Pleasant and Connellsville Royal Area
num ball teams THE JOURNAL fully
appreciates General Korupatkin’s feel-ings
of regret in his reports to the Czar
regarding his pleasantries with the Japs
in tar off Manchuria. The other fellows
won simply because they played better
all round ball.
We had just as good a pitcher and
catcher, we were fully their equals in
fielding and divided the batting honors
with them, and yet we lost for lack of
practice that can alone perfect a nine in
team work, without which no set of
players, however good as individuals,
can expect to shine in fast base ball
company.
Still, it is due Mount Pleasant Coun-cil,
No. 592, to add that, through the
clever management of Mr. I. R. Smith,
the local lodge has given the lovers of
the national game in the coke region a
number of the finest kind of contests.
All we need, to become winners is to
have enclosed grounds.
END OF THE MEAT STRIKE.
The strike of the butcher workmen,
which has demoralized the meat pack-ing
industry throughout the country for
the last two months, was officially de-clared
off at Chicago last Thursday
night'by President M. J. Donnelly, of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America. In the
morning Mr. Donnelly telegraphed the
members of the national executive com-mittee
asking their consent to an an-nouncement
of the end of the struggle,
and at night had received favorable an
swers from all.
The IOBB of wages was enormous, to
say nothing of four lives and numerous
assaults growing out of the trouble, but
President Donnelly says that the defeat
will do the strikers good as it will teach
them that they cannot expect to have
things all their own way. It doubtless
will, as many of them have already dis
covered that their old places have been
permanently filled with new men.
GOODLY SUIT, ANYHOW.
It is ascertained from a most reliable
source at Elkins, W. Va., and corrobo-rated
by people in position to know,
that Henry G. Davis, Democratic nom-inee
for Vice President, and his brother,
Colonel Thomas B. Davis, of Keyser.W.
Va., a millionaire several times, who
was the Democratic candidate for con-gress
in the Second district four years
ago, have each contributed if50,000 to
the Democratic national campaign fnnd
for all purposes, and that will be the
limit of their subscriptions.
This is a big reduction from the cool
million, for which it was stated some
time ago the vice presidential nominee
had tapped his bar’l, but if 100,000 from
two men is a goodly sum, anyhow.

COKE AND COAL
Items of Interest Gathered From Both

The Wabash interests have purchased
the Pittsburg Terminal Railroad and
Coal Company, the West Side Belt road,
and all its branches, and all of the asso
dated companies of the coal company.
The price is about $12,000,000.
About 25 Russian subjects in the coke
region have left for their native country
during the past week to enter the Czar’s
army.
All the coal mines at the town of
Wehram, in the eastern part of Indiana
county, owned and operated by the
Lackawanna Coal & Iron Company,

say coal can be operated cheaper
at Vintondale, another of their towns.
The coke business continues good,
nearing the full run stage as fast as men
can be secured.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOUHNAL, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1904.
SWEEPING
RULING
Made by Judge Kooser, of Somerset, Per-manently
Enjoining the Berlin
Water Company.
mu SUPPLY OF OEM IS EFFECTED.
At Somerset Friday Judge Francis J. Kooser tiled a decree permanently
enjoining the Barlin Water Company, of which O. P. Shupe and other
Mount Pleasant capitalists are interested, from diverting the water from a
spring at the fountain head of Buffalo Cseek from its natural channel to a
reservoir in Brothers Valley township, from whence it is piped to the town of
Berlin and sold to the residents of that place for domestic purposes and for
fire protection.
The decree is sweeping in its effect and it is said unless the defendant
company can make satisfactory arrangements with the Niver Coal Company,
the plaintiff, for a continuance of the service they have contracted to provide
the 1,500 people of Berlin will be compelled to return to the use of water
obtained from wells, from which they drew their domestic supply ohly a few
months ago.
The water people, however, may take the case to a higher court and, if
not successful there, can, it is said, still defeat the coal company by leading
fine springs from the other side of the mountain into their reservoir.

Harry laughed again. “No; I haven’t
come to that yet. not even with 1019,
though she has seared out a good many
of the boys.”
"Seared them out?” said Miss Cart-wright.
with an uplifting of the brows
that made Harry shiver and then turn
hot witli love for her. “I don’t under-stand.”
lie explained, giving the story of
1019's diabolisms, and she shuddered
In sympathy, whereat he loved her the
more.
“Of course there is nothing to the
superstition,” she said, “but still I
Should think you would be afraid.”
“It's my business not to be afraid,
and, after all, she’s nothing but a big-gish
bunch of iron and steel. Would
you—would you like to see how she
rides? I've got to run out on the Y
and turn around.”
Alias CartWTight caught her breath
and said she wouldn't dare, but she
ended by letting Harry help her up in-to
the cab. The little spin around the
Y was the merest taste of a locomo-tive
ride, but it awoke a hitherto dor-mant
appetite in the schoolmistress.
“It is simply inspiring,” she declared,
with unfeigned enthusiasm. “I wish I
were going to be here longer. I’d come
over every little while and ask you to
let me do it again.”
Harry’s Jaw dropped. “Are you go-ing
away, Miss Prlssie?"
"Yes; I’m going back home. Didn’t I
tell you? This is only a summer school,
you know, and we close next week.”
Harry helped her down from the cab
and up into her saddle without a word,
and on all the long day’s run to the
Butte the fireman remarked that he
never laughed once. A week later Har-ry
had another interview with The su-perintendent.
“You said awhile back that you’d
like to put ’19 on the mail," he began.
"So I would if 1 didn't have a set of
superstitious fools for runners,” snap-ped
old man Bence.
“Well, I've been thinking it over, and
I’ll try it if you want mo to,” said
Harry. Then he made a condition.
"I’d like to put in the rest of the week
on the accommodation if you don’t
mind.”
“The rest of the week” carried him
past the close of the school in the
swale beyond the Jepson house, nnd,
as good luck would have it, the closing
exercises were on Thursday evening,
which was the night of his lay over at
Lone Pine. So he went to the little
shack schoolhouse nnd sat through the
exercises in a dream of bliss and aft-erward
liad the ineffable joy of walk-ing
back to the Jepson ranch with
Priscilla.
It was a beautiful uight, starlit and
as still as if tlie wind had never blown
across the brown wastes, a night of all
nights for the saying of Buch tilings
as were clamoring for speech within
him. And yet for the life of him he
could not say the tiling lie had deter-mined
to say. Every time he tried to
formulate that unspeukable question
tlie terrible distance between the
schoolmistress with u Wellesley diplo-ma
and an engineer with calloused
hands widened to a chasm Impassable,
from his side at least. So he took her
home and bade ber good night, nnd the
thing was left unsaid. Afterward, by
way of penance, he scamped ids bed,
breakfast and the morning farewells
and went to the station to sleep what
sleep there was for him on the com-fortless
cushions of the day coach.
The mail run was to begin for Spen-cer
and 1019 on the following Monday,
but on Friday 1000 broke a side rod
and was laid up for repairs. So It
came about that Harry went west on
Ids first mail run Friday noon, passed
Lone Pine in the night and doubled
hack with the east bouud mail two
hours late on Saturday.
Lone Pine was not a stop for tlie
mail, but when you try to make up lost
time with five heavy mail ears it takes
steam, and steam takes water. Harry
knew lie would have to get water be-fore
reaching Arroya, so he told the
fireman they would fill the tank at
Lone Pine. It was not because lie had
any further interest in tlie lonely prai-rie
station save for its memories. If
Miss Cartwright's plans had not mis-carried
she was at this moment trun-dling
eastward on No. 2. which train
the faster flying mail would pass at a
siding an hour’s run beyond I.one Pine.
The 1019 was behaving beautifully
that morning, and she slid up to the
water tank at Lone Pine nnd stopped
with nice precision under the tank
spout. Harry was down in a twinkling
with Ills oil can and had made half
the lubricntlve circuit when there was
a rustle of starched skirts beside him
and a sweet voice said;
“Good morning, Mr. Spencer.”
Harry looked up and promptly
dropped the oil can.
"You!” he exclaimed. “Why, I
thought you were on No. 2.”
Miss Cartwright’s laugh was of cha-grin.
“I meant to be,” she said, "and my
luggage is on No. 2. but I insisted on
telling them all goodby at the house
nnd walking over. So I had the pleas-ure
of seeing the train run away from
us.”
“But what are you going to do?” de-manded
Harry, utterly oblivious to the
fact that the tank was full nnd that he
was losing precious seconds of the
hard earned time.
“Mr. Mann says I can go on the way
freight.” she explained. “I am waiting
l'or It.”
“The way freight! Why, It will take
you nil day to get nowhere!" Then he
had a daring flash light of an idea and
in the dazzle of it promptly broke one
of the old man Bence’s ironclad rules.
"There are only mail cars on this train,
Miss Prlssie, but if you’ll trust the cnb
of 1019 I’ll carry you to Arroya, where
you can catch No. 2 as she comes along.
We pass her this side of Arroya.”
Miss Priscilla Cartwright was not of
those who dwell In the valley of inde-cision.
On the spur of the moment she
accepted Ills offer, was lifted first to
the footboard nnd tlieff to a sent on
Harry’s box, and five minutes later the
Lone Pine station was a mere blot on
the brown plain nnd the big flier was
pitching nnd rolling ns only n high
framed camelbnck can when it is turn-ed
loose under the Viand of a man
whose nerve is all that it should be.
For the first few heartrending miles
of it Priscilla was frankly terrified.
For tills cause she shut her lips tight-ly,
knowing that if she opened them it
must be to scream. Then by slow de-grees
the terror of it slipped into ad-miration
for the calm eyed young fel-low
at her side, the man who was re-sponsible
for all thl^ pnndemoniac rush
and roar and demon clatter. Just here
she had' a glimpse of the ideal man-nood,
the something which is above
all education and refinement and Is
apart from either, tlie tiling which Is
aide to stand in its own strength and
which lias called woman at all times
and in all tongues in commandings not
to be denied.
As for Harry, apart from a warm
glow of triumphant satisfaction bom
of the nearness of her, it is to be feared
that he was more of the engineer than
the lover just then. The mail sched-ule
was recklessly fast, and it was a
point of honor among the men to make
its time, to make up the time when it
was late. Hence Harry was pretty
well occupied in getting tlie lust pos-sible
wheel turn of speed out of 1019,
and when the chattering exhaust deep-ened
to a steady roar and the endless
line of telegraph poles became a reel-ing
procession past the cab, window he
was still coaxing the big flier with
added little Jerks of the throttle.
It was on the great fill on Dump
mountain that the end came. At this
point tlie C. and G. It. rounds the west-ern
slope on a level grude, turns the
northern shoulder on a long curve with
a slight descent and then pitches sharp-ly
down to cross a thousand foot deep
ravine on the huge 4111. What Hurry
saw on Turning tne snouicrer or ine
mountain aged Him ten yenrs in Half
as many seconds. Just beyond the
center of the (ill wns the passenger
train which he had been gradually
overtaking, and It was standing still.
Three car lengths In Its rear a dis-placed
rail broke the double line of
shining steel, and a hundred yards
nearer n flagman was racing up the
grade, making frantic signals to the
onrusliing mail.
What there was to be done was done
instantly anu to little purpose. In tlie
turning of a leaf Harry had 1019 in
the reverse motion nnd hud given her
tlie air. Then he realized that 1019's
demon was once more in possession.
Something was wrong with the air
brake, and it failed to respond. With
a quick yell of warning to ids fireman
he gave the whistle signal which calls
for tlie application of tlie brake by tlie
train crew, and tlie result of this was
ltamedlate and logical. With the sud-den
cheeking of the train, brought
about when every mail clerk in the
five cars jumped for tlie cords of the
automatic, tlie coupling between the
engine nnd tlie nearest car snapped
with a report like a pistol shot. Then,
freed of the train drag, tlie demoniac
1019 shot away joyously for tlie plunge
at the broken rail regardless alike of
reversed steam nnd Harry's frenzied
efforts to make tlie driver brakes take
hold. He desisted when he saw It wns
no use nnd looked up into Priscilla’s
face with u smile that for all her Icy
terror she saw and remembered.
“She’s going to kill us,” lie said cool-ly,
"but If you love me as much as I
do you we’ll fool her nnd go together.”
She was too terrified to speak, but
her answer wns In her eyes nnd in a
quick outrenehing of her arms to him.
lie snw and understood, nnd at the
catching of a breath snatched her from
tlie box, backed out of tlie cramped
cnb to the running board nnd leaped
with her out Into spnee wlint time the
broken rail wns no more than a short
car length away.
It was the rear brnkeman of No. 2
who witnessed the subsequent events.
“Say, It looked to me like she wns
lilttin’ it a mile a minute when she
struck the break, but I guess I was
some rattled. She h’lsted up on one
side when she found tlie rail gone, give
a grunt an' went rollin’ down them
there thousand feet o' dump with her
drivers a-splnnin’ In tlie buck gear like
Fourth o’ July fireworks.
“No; there wasn’t much left o’ her
worth pickin’ up when she landed
’motig tlie rocks at the bottom o’ that
gulch, you bet, an’ when we’d all swul-lered
once ’r twice we looked to see
what lmd come o’ Harry nn’ Ills girl.
Say, they wasn’t hurt no more’n I was,
nor half so had senlrt. The dirt train’d
been workin’ on tholr side o’ the dump,
an’ it wns all soft an’ slldey-llke where
they hit it.
"Harry helped the seboolma’am up,
nn’ they stood an’ looked down at what
wns left o’ ’ll). The girl sort o’ shiv-ered,
but Harry jest laughed nn’ snid,
'I told ’em I’d smash her if she ever
tried to kill jne, an’ I guess I’ve done it
right. An’ she didn't get tlie mall, nor
she didn’t get us. Old man Bence ’ll

principles, I s’pose, but I don’t care.
Prlssie, if you don’t. I’ll put In the

And that is precisely what he did.

“Backache became so frequent that not

It I could not do a day’s work with-out
suffering. While trying one medicine
after another my attention was attracted
by an account of Doan's Kidney I’tUs In
the papers, and of course they In turn were
given a trial. I procured them at Hoduett’s
drug store. Before I bad taken a box of

the desk ns steadily as I liked and did not
even get tired In the back.”

"He rang the bell almost Immediate-ly
after she did. Thinking she would
want to slip upstairs before I admitted
any one, I waited a minute for her to
go, but she did not do so, and when the
officer stepped in she”—
“Well?”
“She shrieked.”
“What! Before he spoke?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Just at sight of him?”
“Yes, sir.”
"Did he wear his badge in plain
rlew?”
“Yes; on his breast.”
“So that you knew him to be a police

“Yes.”
“And Miss Tuttle shrieked at seeing

“Yes. and sprang forward.”
“Did she say anything?”
“Not then.”
“What did she do?”
“Waited for him to speak.”
“Which he did?”
"At once and very brutally. He ask-ed
if she was Mrs. Jeffrey's sister, and
when she nodded and gasped ‘Yes,’ he
blurted out that Mrs. Jeffrey was dead;
that he had just come from the old
house in Waverley avenue, where she
had just been found.”
“And Miss Tuttle?”
“Didn’t know what to say; just hid
her face. She was leaning against the
newel post, so it was easy for her to
do so. I remember that the man stared
at her for taking it so quietly and ask-ing
no questions.”
“And did she speak at all?”
“Oh, yes, afterward. Her face was
wrapped in the folds of her cloak, but
I heard her whisper as if to herself:
‘No, no! That old hearth is not a

Last Wednesday.
lodestone. She cannot have fallen
there.’ And then she looked up quite
wildly and cried: ‘There is something
more! Something which you have not
told me!’ ‘She shot herself, if that's
what you mean.’ Miss Tuttle’s arms
went straight up over her head. It
was awful to see her. ‘Shot herself?’
she gasped. ‘Oh, Veronica, Veronica!’
‘With a pistol,’ he went on—I suppose
he Was going to say, ‘tied to her wrist,’
but he never got it out, for Miss Tut-tle
at the word ‘pistol’ clapped her
hands to her ears and for a moment
looked quite distracted, so that he
thought better of worrying her any
more and only demanded to know if
Mr. Jeffrey kept any sucli weapon.
“Miss Tuttle's face grew very strange
at this. ‘Mr. Jeffrey! Was he there?'
she asked. The man looked surprised.
‘They are searching for Mr. Jeffrey,’
he replied. 'Isn't he here?’ ‘No,’ came
both from her lips and mine. The man
acted very impertinently. ‘Y'ou haven't
told me whether a pistol was kept here
or not,’ said he. Miss Tuttle tried to
compose herself, but I saw that I
should have to speak if any one did, so
I told him that Mr. Jeffrey did have a
pistol, which he kept in one of his bu-reau
drawers. But when the officer
wanted Miss Tuttle to go up and see if
it was there she shook her head and
made for the front door, saying that
she must be taken directly to her sis-ter.”
“And did no one go up? Was no at-tempt
made to see if the pistol was or
was not in the drawer?”
“Yes; the officer went up with me. I
pointed out the pluce where it was
kept, and he rummaged all through it,
but found no pistol. 'I didn’t expect
him to”— Here the witness paused
and bit her lip, adding confusedly,
“Mr. Jeffrey had taken it you see.”
The jurors, who sat very much in the
shadow, had up to this point attracted
but little attention. But now they be-gan
to make their presence felt, per-haps
because the break in the witness’
words had been accompanied by a sly
look at Jinny. Possibly warned by
this that something lay back of this
hitherto timid witness’ sudden volu-bility,
one of them now spoke up.
"In what room did you say this pis-tol
was kept?”
“In Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey’'- bedroom,
sir; the room opening out of the sit-ting
room where Mrs. Jeffrey had kept
herself shut up all day.”
“Does this bedroom of which you
speak communicate with the hall as
well as with the sitting room?”
"No, sir; it is the defect of the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey often spoke of it
as a great annoyance. You had to puss
through the little boudoir in order to
reach it.”
The juryman sank back, evidently
satisfied with her replies, but we who
marked the visible excitement with
which the witness had answered this
seemingly unimportant question won
dered what special interest surrounded
that room and the pistol to warrant
the heightened color with which the
girl answered tills new interlocutor.
We were not destined to know at this
time, for the coroner, when he spoke
again, pursued u different subject.
“How long was this before Mr. Jef-frey
came in?”
“Only a few minutes. I was terribly
frightened at being left there alone
and was on my way to ask one of the
other girls to come up and stay with
me when I heard his key in the lock
and came back. He had entered the
house and was standing neur the door
come in with him. It was a different
officer from the one who had gone
away with Miss Tuttle. Mr. Jeffrey
was saying: ‘What's that? My wife
hurt!' ‘Dead, sir!’ blurted out the
man. I had expected to see Mr. Jef-frey
terribly shocked, but not in so
awful a way. It really frightened me
to see him and I turned to run, but
found that I couldn't and that I had
to stand still and look whether I want-ed
to or not. Yet he didn't say a word
or ask a question.”
"What did he do, Loretta?”
“I cannot say. He was on his knees
and was white—oh, how white! Yet
he looked up when the man described
how and where Mrs. Jeffrey had been
found and even turned toward me
when I said something nbout his wife
having left a message for him when
she went out. This message, which I
llmost hesitated to give after the aw-ful
news of her death, was about the
ending of some story, ns you remem-ber,
and it seemed heartless to speak
of it nt n moment like this, but as she
had told me to I didn’t dare to disobey
her. So, with the man listening to my
every word, and Mr. Jeffrey looking ns
if he would fall to the ground before I
could finish, I repented her words to
him and was surprised enough when
he suddenly started upright and went
flying upstairs. But I was more sur-prised
yet when, nt the top of the first
flight, he stopped and, looking over the
balustrade, asked in a very strange
voice where Miss Tuttle was. For he
seemed just then to want her more than
anything else in the world and looked
beaten and wild when I told him that
she was already gone to Waverley ave-nue.
But he recovered himself before
the man could draw near enough to see
his face, and rushed into the sitting
room above and shut the door behind
him, leaving the officer and me stand
ing down by the front door.
“As I didn’t know what to say to a
man like him, and he didn't know what
to say to me, the time seemed long,
hut it couldn’t have been very many
minutes before Mr. Jeffrey came back
with a slip of paper in ids hand and
a very much relieved look on ids face
‘The deed was premeditated!’ he cried
'My unfortunate wife has misunder-stood
my affection for lief!’ And from
being a very much broken down man
lie stood up straight and tall and pre-pared
himself very quietly to go to the
Moore house. That is all I can tell
about the way the news was received
by him.’
Were these details necessary? Many
appeared to regard them as futile and
uncalled for, hut Coroner Z. was never
known to waste time on trivialties, and
if he called for these facts those who
knew him best felt certain that they
were meant as a preparation for Mr.
Jeffrey's testimony, which was now
called for.
A LEAD
David Greenburn, a junk dealer of Princedale, was found last Wednes-day
near Fells Church, in Rostraver township, this county, three miles out
from Webster, with his skull cracked, he having been murdered by some un-known
person who was seen with him in his wagon.
The weapon used was a lead pipe. When he left his home that morn-ing
he had over $100 in his possession, but when the pockets were searched
after the finding of the body only $17.94 was found, showing that the proba-ble
motive of the murder was robbery. His horse and wagon were found
along the road. He was 38 years old and married.

CHAPTER XII.
HEN Francis Jeffrey’s hand
f»ll from his forehend nnd
he turned to face the assem
bled people an instinctive
compassion arose in every breast at
sight of his face, which, if not open in
its expression, wns nt least surcharged
with the deepest misery.
I pnss over the preliminary examina
tion of this important witness and pro
ceed at once to the point when the
coroner, holding out the two or three
lines of writing which Mr. Jeffrey had
declared to have been left him by bis
wife, asked:
“Are these words in your Wife’s
handwriting?”
Mr. Jeffrey replied hastily and with
just a glance at the paper offered him
“They are.”
The coroner pressed the slip upon
him.
“Look at them carefully,” he urged
"The hundwrltiug shows hurry and in
places Is scarcely legible. Are you
ready to swear that these words were
written by your wife and by no
other?”
Mr. Jeffrey, with just a slight con-traction
of his brow expressive of an
noyance, did as be was bid. He scan
lied, or appeared to scan, the small
scrap of paper which he now took into
his own hand.
“It is my wife’s writing,” he impa-tiently
declared; “written, as all can
see, under great agitation of mind, but
hers without any doubt.”
"Will you read aloud these words for
our benefit?” asked the coroner.
The lines he was thus called upon to
read may bear repetition:
I find that I do not love you as
thought. I cannot live knowing this to be
so. Pray God you may forgive me!
VERONICA.
As the last word fell with a little
tremble from Mr. Jeffrey’s lips the
coroner repeated:
"You still think these words were ad-dressed
to you by your wife; thut in
short they contain an explanation of
her death?”
“I do.”
There was sharpness in the tone. Mr
Jeffrey was feeling the prick. There
was agitation in it, too; an ugltation
he was trying hard to keep down.
“You have reason, then,” persisted
the coroner, “for accepting this pecul
lar explanation of your wife’s death
a deatii which, in the Judgment of most
people, was of a nature to call for the
strongest provocation possible?”
J&fV
'P'S*
“The only one, I should say-’*
The coroner laid down the book.
"Enough of this, then, for the pres-ent;
only let the jury remember that
the cover of this book is peculiar and
that It was kept on a shelf at the right
of the opening leading into the adjoin
ing bedroom. And now, Mr. Jeffrey,
we must ask you to look at these rings,
or, rather, at this one. You hare seen
it before. It is the one you placed on
Mrs. Jeffrey’s hand when you were
married to her a little over a fortnight
ago. You recognize it?”
“I do.”
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
in the terrors caused by the dread
event at the Moore house, which re-called
old tragedies nnd emphasized a
most unhappy family tradition.”
Tlie coroner paused a moment to let
these words sink into the ears of the
jury, then plunged immediately into
what might he called the offensive part
of his examination.
“Why, if your wife’s death caused
ou such intense grief, did you appear
so relieved at receiving this by no
means consoling explanation?”
At an implication so unmistakably
suggestive of suspicion Mr. Jeffrey
Showed fire for the first time.
Whose word have you for that? A
rervant’s, so newly come into my house
that her very features are still strange
to me. Y'ou must acknowledge that a
person of such marked inexperience
an hardly be thought to know me or
to interpret rightly the I'eeliugs of my
heart by any passing look she miiy
have surprised upon tnj face.”
This attitude of defiance so suddenly
assumed had an effect he little realized.
Miss Tuttle stirred for the first time
behind tier veil, and Uncle David, from
looking bored, became suddenly quite
attentive. These two hut mirrored the
feelings'of the general crowd, and mine
especially.
“We do not depend on her judgment
alone,” the coroner now remarked.
“The change in you was apparent to
many others. This we can prove to
the jury if they require it.”
But, no man lifting a voice from that
gravely attentive body, the coroner
,•.’•acceded to inquire if Mr. Jeffrey felt
A;e volunteering any explanations on
•his head. Receiving no answer from
aim either, lie dropped the suggestive
line of inquiry and took up the consid-eration
of facts. The first question he
now put was:
“Where did you find the slip of pa-per
containing these lust words from
your wife?”
“In a book I picked out of the book-shelf
in our room upstairs. When Lo-retta
gave me my wife’s message I
knew that 1 should find some word
from her in the novel we had Just been
reading. As we had been interested in
but one book since our marriage, there
was no possibility of my making any
mistake as to which one she referred.”
“Will you give us the name of this
novel ?”
“ ‘Compensation.’ ”
“And you found this book called
‘Compensation’ in your room upstairs?”
“Yes.”
“On the bookshelf?”
“Yes.”
“Where does this bookshelf stand?”
Mr. Jeffrey looked up ns much as to
say, ’“Why so many small questions
about so simple a matter?” but an-swered
frankly enough:
“At the right of the door leading
into the bedroom.”
“And at right angles to the door lead-ing
into the ball?”
“Yes.”
“Very good. Now may I ask you to
describe the cover of this book?”
"The cover? I never noticed the
cover. Why do you— Excuse me, I
suppose yon have your reasons for
asking even these puerile and seem-ingly
unnecessary questions. The cov-er
is a queer one, I believe, partly red
and partly green, and that Is all I
know about It.”
“Is this the book?”
Mr. Jeffrey glanced at the volume
the coroner held up before him.
“I behove so; it looks like W.”
The hook had a flaming cover, quite
unmistakable in its character.
“The title shows it to be the same,”
remarked the coroner. “Is this the
only book with a cover of this kind In
the house?”
Doctors Could Not Help Her.
“I had kidney trouble for years,”
writes Mrs. Raymond Conner of Shel-ton,
Wash , ‘and the doctors could not
help me. I tried Foley's Kidney Cure,
and the very first dose gave ipe relief
and I am now cured. I cannot say too
much for Foley's Kidney Cure.” All
