The detective's head was leaning on his hand. Sidney was watch- ing him closely. “I remember perfectly," he said then, lifting his head. “The body was found in the morning by the servants, a gun by its side, bearing the initials of a gentle- man in the neighborhood who disappear- ed at the time in company with the mur- dered man's wife.” "Supposed to be in her coinpuuy,"Sid- nin murmuer faintly. “There was no proof that he was not." “There was no proof that he was," she said, quickly.

I cannot give up this endeavor to prove his innocence," she added, so earnestly that tears rose in her beautiful eyes. “No one ever tried before ; he had not one friend here to defend him.

The keen stern face softened as he gently made her sit down “I will help you if I can,” he said, and used as he was to scenes of distress and suffering, he felt his lip quiver as he heard her passionate, almost incoherent thanks. “ ‘hsnk me when I have proved your friend‘s innocence,” he said. "If he is innocent, I will show his innocence to the world, Mrs. Danni: ; do not fear. And now to business," he added, changing his tone to one of coolness. “How much of your time can you spare me now 7" She glanced at the clock ; it was only five, and the dressing-bell would not ring before seven ; but sl.e did not want her absence from the drawing‘room to be IlUlilCtd.

But he is laid up front an accident in the hunting‘field. We are safe from interruption.” “I wonder you were not afraid to re- ceive me here?” he said, looking at her in some surprise. “It was not very prudent, but I could not wait to be prudent,” she answered faintly. “And I run my own mistress to agrezit extent. ButI am afraid of iii- curring my husband's displeasure and arousing his suspicions ; he has a firm be- lief iu Mr. Greville’s guilt. Will an hour suilice, Mr. Hopgood ’1” “Half that time will be sufficient." “Thank you," Sidney said timidly. “The first question I wish to ask you is this, Mrs. Daunt. On what terms were you with Mrs. Rutledge ’i" ,"I know her but slightly.” “Before her marriage or after ’1" “Both before and after." “Was she a resident at Ashford, then, fore her marriage ’1" “She lived at Lambswold.” “At Lambswold l" he repeated inquir- ingly. “Is that in this neighborhood I" “It is Mr. Daunt's residence. She was governess there to his dunglier." “To your husband’s daughter?" “No,” Sidney answered, witha fain; smile at the though:-“to his sister." “Ah, to his sister! She was a very beautiful person, I believe 1” “Yes, wonderfully beautiful." “She was likely to have many admirers, I suppose?" “Yes,” Sidney answered slowly. “Mr. Groville and )Ir. Rutledge in- cluded 3" “Yes,” was the faint reply from the parched pile lips. Sidney was beginning to dread the questions of the detective who sat opposite to her so keen-eyed and impassive. “And others, I dare say. Mr. Gre- ville's attentions could not have been very marked however, since you tell me that lie was engaged to you." The color rose slowly in the lovely anxious face. Remembering his earnest injunction to tell him the truth, she lliesituted for a moment, then said brave- vâ€"-- “We were not engaged until Miss Neil was engaged to Mr. Rutledge." “Ah I" The monosyllahle was full of meaning, for the questioner was keen enough to read on Sidney's face that there was something more to hear. “Mr. Rutledge was a wealthy man i"â€" “ch, very wealthy." “And the young lady preferred wealth.

I presume it was greater than that of either of her other suitor’s." “I suppose so, thenâ€"that is, unless Mr. Dsunt had given consent to an en- gagement between Miss Neil and his son." “Did Mr. Stephen Daunt seem to feel Mr. Rutledge’s success as much as Mr. Greville T’ Sidney half rose in her passionate, al. most unbearable pain. It seemed to rend her heart to speak of that time, so fu‘l of misery and unrest, to recall her own anguish, her foolish mistake, her passionate useless rebellion against the trouble which had fallen upon her. More than once during the last few minutes she had reproached herself bitterly for ever having undertaken such a herculean task, but the recollection of Frank’s mis- ery, so much greater than anything she could conceive, she thought, gave her pa- tience to endure. "I do not know,” she said, struggling desperately for calmness. “Mr. Stephen Daunt went away almost immediately after the engagement was announced, and remained abroad for several weeks." “And, on his return, did he seem much as usual '3" Sidney hesitated, remembering the added gravity and gentleness of Stephen's manner, and the look on his face which seemed to say that he had seen trouble. “He was quieter," she answered in a low voice. “I’)id havisit at Rutledge Hall 'l"--“0h, yes.’ “ Frequently i" “Iâ€"â€"I think so." There was a. little silence then. Sid- ney’s visitor was bending over his note- book, glancing through it carelessly enn'in‘i. Sidney sat trembling very much and. dreading what he was going to say next ; and so intense was her relief when he rose to go that she almost broke down in sobs. ‘ “I need not trouble you any more," he said calmly. “I will bid you good even- ing Mrs. Daunt. You will hear from me shortly. No, don’t ring ;.I can find my own way out.” Sidney felt asifa heavy load had been suddenly lifted from her heart as the door closed after him, and she drewalong sobbing breath of relief. For a few mo- ments she stood still, then turned and moved towards the door. As she passed into the hall, Lloyd Milner was standing there, looking grave and thoughtful, his face turned towards the hall door with a look of puzzled be- wilderment Sidney’s heart seemed to stand still with fear in the terrible dread which struck her. Had he seenâ€"had he recognised her visitor 7 He turned to her as she came across the hall towards him. “1am wondering where I have seen the man who has just gone out of the house," he said carelessly. “Is he avlsi- tor of yours, Mrs. Daunti His face seems so very familiar.” “Does it? He is my tailor,” Sidney answered, with a perfect calm born of her great extremity. “Your tailor ! Indeed 1 Of course ladies have tailors nowadays. Then I suppose there is a chance likeness, for it. is not by any means with a thimble and a goose that I assooiate him." To BE CONTINUED. â€"â€"â€"â€"'-¢ The Peculiar-mes of Dogs. The fashion which cites the dog as a better species of human being, and de- preciates men as if they were dogs gone wrong, is, as an English author calls it, “,Unnatural History.” Dogs, he says, are no better than men, and but for man woulu have been much worse than they are. They are very like men in their ex- hibition of then ower passions, such as anger, jealousy, fear and vanity. A bull-terrier, for instance, used to express its anger in accordance with the human precept, “then the boys hits you, hit the post.” If a beggar came to the door, the terrier was frantic. Being restrained from flying at the poor man, he would rush out, as soon as released, and attack the gardener. At other times the gardener and the terrier were excel- lent friends, but the dog, when angry, seemed influenced by the same nature as leads the husband to grumble at his wife’s cap, because the morning news is dis- agreeable. A dog was jealous of another pet. In the course of time, the pot died, was stuffed and placed in a glass case. When- ever the dog’s attention was drawn to his stuffed rival gazing at him with glassy eyes, he always snarled. A bull-terrier was a whimsical coward. He was ready to fight anything but an Indian-rubber cushion. \Vhen that was filled or emptied of air in his presence, he would go into paroxysms of hysterical screaming. The garden-hose 'filled him with such terror that he could never be coaxed into the garden when it was used, porwould he enter the room where it was ept. An old setter once displayed such vanity that it wssfimmediately seized upon to compel him to obedience. He would follow the members of the family, when- ever they went out, no matter how trouble- some his presence might be. One day, the children tied a ribbon bow on the tip of the dog's tail. Every- body laughed at his comical appearance, which so mortified the r setter that he retired under the sofa, and sulked for an i hour. The next day the Jamily were going to a croquet party, and the dog seemed bent on sawmpanying them. i It occurred to one of the young ladit'a ‘ to try the eil'cct of a ribbon-bow. It was lied on his tvil, and immediately he rush. ed into the house, and hid under the sofa. When they returned, he was on the door- step, sitting on his haunches as if con- , cealing something, and refrained even lfrom wagging his tail, lest the hated bow should be seen. i A writer, illustrating the fact that the sdug is one of man's noblest servants and . one of his chides: triumphs, says : l “ In the beginning Allah created man, i and swing what a helpless creature he was. lie gave him a dog. And He charg- ml the dog that he should be the eyes and I the ears, the understanding and the legs, of the man." 00‘ 0P9.»â€" l The only thing the electric girls have in a lower voice.

He got no answer, and then re- turned home. On Thursday night Miller again went to Percival’s house to see if he had re- turned. He found the door fastened. and thereupon broke it open, thinking that perhaps something might be wrong. He was horrified to find Mrs. Percival dead in bed, she having been shot, and her child lying dead beside her. Mr. Percival was not to be found in the house but Miller soon discovered him lying dead near the hay stack, he, too, halving been shot. His body was partly eaten by dogs and wolves. Hugh Myers, his former partner in the cattle business, who had been visiting him, was also having been murdered. It seems that on Monday last Percival while in Fullerton with his wife and child and Mr. Myers, to do some trading and other business, had in his possession a check for $1,000, which be deposited in a bank and drew $500. The indications were that after putting up his team he was assaulted, killed, and robbed, after which the murderer or murderers went to the house and killed Mrs. Percival and child. It is said that. Myers was clicked to death or smothered in some way. Two neighbors who are missing are suspected to have been killed, and search is being made for their bodies. They were honest and trustworthy men, and it is not generally believed that they committed the deed, although some peo- ple suspect them unless their disappear- ance is satisfactorily explained. The general belief is that the murders were committed by one man, and that it was done for robbery. _-__.â€"»< o»«.â€"â€"â€"â€"- A Rooster Bills a Rat.
