I was ielding to despair, and wandering into the ack garden. Suddenly Fido capered about me with something in his mouth. It was a. handkerchief. I took it. A glance made my heart stopâ€"bloodstains. I examined that handkerchief as a forlorn digger would gold-dust. It was a woman’s. It was marked ‘P.H., No. 4.’ I recognized it, and knew the owner. I smelt it. What a. peculiar scent. I renewed my search with vigor. It was evident the criminal had escaped by the back. Reviving hoped fired "My total discoveries were some threads of cloth torn off while squeezing through a small window, bloodstains on the sash arising from a cut with a rusty nail in the wood, footprints on the ground beneath the window" The ground was soft enough to receive an impression. Very close examination revealed a peculiar imprint with a cut across. An inspiration dawned on me~â€" goloshes ! From these links how should I form a. chain? First, the handkerchief. I went to Laycock’s, the chemist. He ran- sacked his shop, but could not find me a. scent like it. I shot an arrow at a venture. ‘You sold some to Miss Harvey, I think?’ ‘Oh, yes ; I know now, I got that especial- ly for her. . I am “sorry I have pone left.’ 1 “Thereby hangs my tale. I believed Herbert to be innocent. Common sense told me crime always leavesa. trace for those who have eyes to see. No one ever sought. They were satisfied with super- ficial appearances.

The murderer has a. foot two inches longer than Herbert. He wore apair of gold goloshes with a cut across the left sole. Herbert never possessed such things. On that night he wore a light suit; the other fellow wore a. dark tweed suit, with a red thread, rather a peculiar kind of material, lighter in weight, and cheaper.” "“How in th'e name of all that did X9“ lefar a_11 this?” ment?” “To free Herbert Cadson.

With the quiet demeanor of a. hero, Herbert folded his arms to receive his doom without a qu1ver.To the last momentous words, “May the Lord have mercy on your soul,” he responded with a firm but reverent “Amen.” Mr. Carter, Herbert’s solicitor, was dis- turbed in his office by a. young lady whom he at first failed to recognize Edna. XVhat a. marvellous change 1 Her haggard face, large eyes, looking larger from-their sunken sockets, the fierce, determined expression of her face, made the old lawyer betray his surprise in spite of himself. \Vas this the airy, smiling creature of a. few days ago? She had aged years. He invited her to a seat, then inquired the object of her visit. Asked if he had any reason to state why Sentence should not be passed, he drew him- self up, and in a. firm, clear voice said : “To-day my words are an empty soundmne day they Will have great power, though they will come back from the cold depths of the tomb. I am innocent. No man will believe me. I speak for the future, because I believe an Avenging Justice, an unerring and irresistible aim, will bring truth to light. Then I Wish you to remember my words. Then Herbert Cadson, who now stands with the curse of shame of a mur- derer on his head, wilF have the halo of a martyr.” callous coolness. Her voice unmanned him. He buried his face in his hand}, groaning aloud and trembling violently. With an effort he regained his manly bearing. - Edna. Dysart, the charmer, through jeal- ousy of whom he was supposed to have committed the murder, swore to seein him close to the house; indeed, she ha spoken to him, but he strangely passed her, refusing to speak. The general evidence against him was so overwhelming, there could be no doubt of the issue. The pris- oner had condemned himself by his own admissions, yet he emphatically asserted his innocence. The eventful day of the trial came. Counsel had labored for and against. The judge had summed up the points of the case; the jury retired to con- sider. The breathless hush of suspense was oppressive. The Angel of Death seemed almost visible. Presently a door opened. Twelve men solemnly took their seats. “Guilty, or not guilty 2” “Guilty 2" A piercing shriek, awful from its burden of agony, rang through the court. Edna’s unconscious form was borne out. For the first time the prisoner quailed. Through- out the trial he had behaved with elmost One morning folk were horrified with the report of murder. Musgrave had been shot in his studio. A revolver was found on the table a, few inches from the dead body. The bullet, which having passed through his head had lodged in the wall opposite, exuctlyfitted the chamber, and was pre- cisely similar to the others which the revolver contained, Both revolver and cartridges were proved to have been bought by Cadson within twenty-four hours of the crime. He was known to have been at the house at the time of the murder, as nearly as possible, All these things be fully ad- mitted. Only one fact he denied, but this was the evidence that chiefly condemned During the assures held in a southern city, Lle Court was crowded to its utmost capacil y, while an impatient mass of sway- ing hmnanity awaited the verdict outside. It was a case of phenomenal interest. Two young fellows of good birth, cbmpanions since childhood, had set themselves to earn fame and fortune, or the latter at least, in their native place: Albert Musgrave as an artist, Herbert Cadson as a doctor. Their love for each other was brotherly ; yet love proved the gulf which separated them. Both had been fascinated with the charms of a sunny-haired, bright-eyed, laughing picture of beauty. Her admirers were legion, but her favors were fairly equally bestowed between these two.

Mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts swell the chorus, “Yes we come !” We are coming, we are coming!

'I was mad. It was all for her,’ he said, in a. quivering voice. Please do not handcufi' me,’ he implored. ‘Very well, Mr. Satley,’ I rep lied. Just then the shriek of an express whistle made me start. He dropped his bag and dashed across the platform, I after him. He won the race. I lost a. prisoner. He jumped clean on to the buffers, which hurled him off like a. football, over and over. His body is lying at the mortuary now.” Every cloud has a- silver lining. The sunshine of this narrative is seen in two faces which reflect the joy of love united so nearly destroyed by shame and death Eveâ€"Addy, my dear, I’m going shopping this morning. Can you let me have a. hunâ€" dred dollars? Adamâ€"Great heavens, Eve! YOu must believe the report that I’m made of dust !

Miss Edna. was very smart, but she should h ave consulted us before she took those goloshes. Women are so impulsive. Well, I followed him. As I expected, he went to the railway station. I touched him, and advised him not to buy a. ticket, as he would waste his money. He turned paler than Hamlet’s ghost. Then he sent for the inspector of police, putting all details into his possession. Two hours after the officer returned to Mr. Carter’s sanctum with a. somewhat peculiar face. “You nstound me, a. girl like you, with such estuteness. It passes my comprehen- sion.” . "Don’t you think I have good grounds for his arrest 2” “Certainly. Who is he 3” “Mr. Satley, the curate.” Mr. Carter fairly leaped from his chair with on irreverent expression of surprise. It took him some little time to subside into his usual calm. "I have treced the suit of clothes, end can prove the purchaser and date of pur- chase. But one thing remains undone. .

By dint of coaxinw and presents I induced the old dame to ct me do as I pleased. I talked to her of Herbert till her head was turned. ThenI made her my confidante. I wanted to make her lodger a pair of slippers without his knowledge. She offered me a. pair to measure. No. I knew he had a pair of goloshes somewhere. Could I steal them for a day or tWo ? We searched together. Buried in a corner of the wardrobe I found a pair. I turned them up. There was a. cut across the sole of the left foot. I trembled so violently I nearly let them fall. I took them to Musgrave’s house ; they fitted the prints exactly. I have had the scrapings of the sole of the footprint analyzed by the chemist, who says they are identical. “No'w I had fairly run down my ame. Haw should I get into his house? rovi- dence aided me.

She laughed and blushed. I ban- tered her into confession. She had never lent but one. She told me to whom. I in- voluntarily jumped from my chair, but had enough self-control to recover myself, pre- tending I had agesumed astonishment. ‘Vc Are Coming. â€"Boston Woman’s Journal. CLEAN HANDs.â€"â€"In cholera times it is im- perative that those attendant upon the sick should have solutions of disinfect- ants in water for washing the hands im- mediately after handling patients or any discharge from them. Extreme cleanliness may be urged with great advantage at all seasons. An observing person can note countless filthy actions among apparently clean people. It is both incautious and unclean to go to the closet and attend to one’s own needs, and not wash the hands afterwards. The fact that the hands may not have been in contact with the person does not excuse the neglect. The fact that one has entered a. place set apart for receiv- ing excretions should be sufficient to Stig- gest to a refined person the need to wash the hands after leaving it. The latch or door knob, the lid of the closet. may have been grasped by filthy hands. That person goes about his or her work, and oftentimes it is to the kitchen to prepare and serve food. It is from these constant everyday uncleanly habits that scourges spread so frightfully. From strictly aesthetic con- siderations one should not indelicately or ofiensively touch oneself or anything un- clean and not instantly thereafter wash the hands. Fancy scratching the scalp, toying with a boil on the neck, a pimple on the In the Telford road it was evidently the idea to put the large stones at the bottom, in order to prevent the soft ground from working through. By not breaking this stone, labor is saved, but the worn places may reach the rough rocks. It is fair to say that both are good roads, as any one who has travelled over the two kinds will testify. Both have had severe tests, and each has its friends. â€"Louis H. Gibson, In- diana. During nearly a. century these roads have been in use, and there have been some changes, more in detail than in principle. The Macadam roadway 18 frequently made in two layers. Sometimes the first covering is only four or five inches, followed by a second of about the same thickness. At other times the covering aggregates thir- teen or fourteen inches, divided into three layers. In the original Telford road the in- ventor insisted that the broken stone be such as would pass through a two-and-a- half-inch ring, and that the surface be made of broken stone, which would average three- quarters of an inch in diameter. Macadam was more particular about weight than about size. His idea. was that each stone should be six ounces in weight, and, with that end in view, his help carried balances with which to test the weight of _the stone. diameter. The Macadam road has a foun- dation of broken stone an inch and a. half to two inches in diameter, a. second cover- ing somewhat smaller, and the top finer yet.
