She half-dragged, half-led them Into the little parlor. "All stay," she said In a dry whisper. Joe had ran for a glass of water, and now beside the chair Into which George had put her, and held it to her lips. "Thanks, dear," •he whispered. Her eyes moved about from face to face, and her lips moved drily. Then suddenly she made a great struggle, as If for air. "My God. she's dying!" Mrs. Baldwin exclaimed But Ellen herself anmred her : "No, auntie--no, I'm all right!" And tightening one hand on Joe's, and with the other clinging to George, she Mid at last:. "I've found out who did ft, George! l 'I know who fired that •hot!" 'V ^ -,iv. A silente spread Ifke a fog over (be little sitting-room They all looked at her without speaking "III tell you about it--" Ellen said, after another drink of water. "It happened--I mean my learning about It--half an hour ago. But I didn't dare do anything until George got here." She had so far recovered her composure that she could rise now, and she spoke in an almost Hernial tone. "George," she said, "I want you to sit here, and Joe and auntie, will yon go back Into the back room: just behind the curtains, so that you can hear everything?" And, as they bewllderedly but eagerly obeyed her instructions, she stepped to the hall toot, nnd called "Liralel" Immediately Lizzie came downstairs, as white as Ellen was, with Tommy clinging to her hand. The little boy came running in to his mother, and Ellen caught him tn her arms. "Here's Uncle George, dear I" she •aid. Tommy indifferently felt himself drawn between the man'S knees. George looked dazed at Ellen. "Now, Tom," his mother said casually, "I want you to do something for me. And if you do It nicely, I'm going to read to you for--one--whole--hour-- tonight!" "Will you really, moth?" Tommy Mflted, his eyes dancing. "Yes, I truly will. Tommy, I want yon to tell Uncle George about that night at Wheatley Hills, when you came down--you know--tell him all about It 1" Tommy was looking at her with a guilty child's doubt of his reception. "Grandpa told' me to!" he asserted. In self-defense. "I was a captain, and be told ipe to!" George glanced at Ellen: they exchanged one look. ' "1 was telling Tommy a little about the reason why we left Wheatley Bills," Ellen explained. "And he fold Be why he liked Wheatley Hill*. Go CD. dear." 'Tommy, encircled by George's arm hid his mouth close to the man's ear. He spoke in a half-proud, hntf •hamed voice. "I sal (J-1 was sorry about grandpa, bfcrause I liked to play in his study! And I said he let me Are his pistol." An<f the man and woman exdunged a look of consternntion. "Come! A kid like you couldn't Are a real pistol." 'George said scofT- "Well. 7\ld fire It!** Tommy burst out boastfully. "With two fingers on the trigger! I said I was a captain and he said I oughtenter be afraid Of my gun. I fired It two times. He ^iald me to!" Tommy Illustrated with m- dramatic gesture. .jEllen saw George swallow, with a Ay throat She heard him whisper "My God!" . "But, Tom--haw's that? Ton mean to tell me you fired the revolver like that about the room?" he asked the child. "Well-a,** Tommy stammered, "it •aver went off those first two times; ft didn't make any noise. And he Mid 'Good boy, old Tommy!'" Ellen caught a r.ulck breath. She had heard him call the child that a hundred times. "He said 'Good boy !*" George repeated. "and then you pointed nt him?" "No, then he told me about spies. Be told me all about them. And then I said, *Jf you were a spy, grandpa. Td fix you!' And he said, 'All right. I'm a spy. I surrender.' And he said to me 1 must say, 'Have you anything to say for--that--," Tommy stumbled. "Why he shouldn't be shot, you know," he explained. "I see," George said, glancing at Ellen. "So I said that, and he said no. he dMn't have, and I took the pistol again and shot at him. But that time," Tommy went on serenely. "It did go off 1 I thought it had burst. And some smoke cam,e oat. And grandpa sat--like this--" He dropped Into a chair in terrible verisimilitude to the still form they . had found in the study three months ago. Ellen glanced again it George: \ be was as pale as she. ^ m "And then what. Tom?" : jig I •Then I went over to lilm, and shook |hi s arm, and he didn't wake up. I |th ought he was fooling. And 1 took .'$£ tfte pistol and threw It away In the basket. I said: 'Grandpa, please 't «,;...^rake up!* but he wouldn't. So 1 ran Vfo the door and called for Lizzie.

"Why, she was up In mother's room J1 wasn't sure that grandpa was fool '.lag, though maybe he was. I was tifraid purraps I'd hurt him--** "Then why didn't you run and tell lother at once if you thought so?" didn't think I could have , , s a y • ' - r; "Yes, when I went downstairs. But she was still In mother's room when I got upstairs, so I, got Into bed and thought I'd tell her grandpa wanted to see her when she cuine back." "And why didn't you. Tommy?" "I don't remember. I guess I went to sleep." "And wlmt made yon go downstairs In the first place. Tommy?" his mother asked, her voice trembling tn splti of her effort for control. "I couldn't go to sleep because you and Lizzie were talking so loud and Lizzie was crying. I looked out Into the hall, the door was open--and grandpa was there and I asked him what he was doing and he said he was sending a telegram--" "Yes, that's perfectly correct," George said. "We found It on the hall table." "So then he said, "Coini on down and pay me a visit, old scout!' and I went. And mother told me next day he was sick," Tommy went on pleasantly, as he worked busily with the swivel of George's watch chain, "so purraps that was when he was beginning to feel a little bit sick. If I was a spy, and they caught me." Tommy added valnglorlously, "I'd shoot so fast, and my horse would ride so fast, that I'd get away from them, whether they liked It or not! I'd--" "Listen, Tom," George said. "Down at my place at Sands Point, do yon know what I've got? I've got a shaggy little gentleman who came from the Isle of Shetland--" "A pony!" Tommy whispered, his eyes alight. "Mother, has he really got a pony?" he asked, digging his dark hair into his mother's shoulder, and smiling in bashful delight. "I suppose he has." Ellen answered, smiling. "And that pony," George said Impressively, "will be your pony If you'll do something for me." Tommy glanced at bis mother, actually pale with joy. "Mother--he Is going to ghra me that pony!" he said, on an excited breath. "Oh, mother, can I have a pony? He can stay at Hewlett's." he decided swiftly. "Until we can have a little stable built for him! I could build it--or If a man carhe to do some of it. I could help him. All yon need Is planks and nalls-^-" "But how about doing something for me?" George asked. "Sure!" said Tommy, In the manlike, careless voice befitting the owner of a pony. "I'll do anything." "I want you to come over to Mineola with mother and me," George said. "And tell nil this to a man there--a friend of mine--all about your grandfather, "you know, and the whole thing!" "Why?" asked Tommy, round-eyed. "That's Just what I don't want you to ask, Tommy, and Just what I can't very well explain to you. I don't ask you why you want this pony," George said pointedly. "Now, this man will ask you lots of questions." he went on. "and you must answer them. And if you can't remember anything. Just say so." "All right!" Tommy agreed indifferently. "Has he got a saddle?" "Mother's going to give you a saddle," Ellen promised. She called Lizzie "Lizzie, will you take Tommy upstairs and read to him, and tplk about the pony?" she asked, with" a significant look. And when they were gone she turned to George, and she and George and Joe stared at each other. "That ta the most extraordinary thing that has come to me In the entire course of my profession," George said, slowly, as if he had been stunned. "I must get hold of Ryan at once. There's a point or two-- what do you make of his saying he fired the pistol twice?" "Lizzie's story agrees with that 1 She had loaded It with only one shell." ElTen supplied quickly. "All the chambersybut one were empty;" "It was like the old man--I could hear his voice," George mused, " 'I surrender!' If I can get hold of Ryan! Ellen, could you take the child over there at once?" "Anything--anywhere!" Her face clouded. "But, George, they won't take that baby Into court--they won't cross-examine Tommy?" "No--no!" he said, smiling. "He'll simply talk to him. and it will be taken down. You may trust Tjmmy to me." And, George--do you think?--Is there any hope? Might they really clear Glbbs for a thing like this?" He put a hand on her shoulder, as he stood looking fearfully up at him. Kllen never forgot the Joy, the ten derness, the sympathy In his eyes "My dear girl--my dear g>rl--I think that in a few days Ulbb? will walk Into this house with you to have dinner with the captain and Aunt Elsie!*? " The ecstasy of real hope, after the weeks ot pretense! The Joy of action and hurry after so many days when there had been nothing to do! It was a lowering winter day, hut. to Ellen It seemed as If the sun of-June were shining. It was a strange drive, over snowy roads, and between bare fields. It was SundHy, and in the villages young people were laughing and talking, as they lounged about station platforms and candy stores. Tommy talked Incessantly, and everybody talked to Tommy with unusual graciousness. Every foot of the eight-mile trip had long ago become drearily familiar to Ellen, on her daily drives to and fro, but it had never seemed as long as it dkl today. George," she said, at parting on They erchang** a long look. The man nodded. • "So sore," he answered, "that I would not take Tommy to see him today. I wouldn't have thai association la Tommy'a mind. It aeema to me." "Oh, George--but I cant believe It!" she said dlsslly. "If anything happens now--I don't think I can bear it!" "1 don't think anything will, Ellen." •»e said In his quiet way. "Lizzie had better come with me, for they might keep us waiting, and I don't want Tommy to be frightened." He gave the child his hand. "Come on. Tommy!" he said. "You come with us, Lizzie, will you? By the way, what are you going to name your pony?" Ellen watched them tip the steps. Then she turned to Joe, and went quickly through the familiar doors and gates. "Will you waft here, Joe?" she asked, as they came to a sort of central hallway where a sergeant sat reading at a desk. "You haven't got the little the sergeant asked. "No," she said, flustered. "1--we thought U better not to bring him!" The man looked grave, came about his desk and said something in n low tone of which Joe only caught the words "tomorrow morning." Ellen answered with a nervous murmur of assent, and went hastily away. Joe watching her go: the big jail was tfery still In the winter afternoon. She was familiar with every step of the way, now. the small corridor smelling of cement, the longer corridor beyond, the door of Glbbs' ceil. It was unlocked for her, she always went Inside. * He was sitting on his bed, in the narrow space, and she sat beside him. He looked III and wretched, and did not rise as she came In, nor move except to raise his haggard eyes. The guard, at the door, walked away. "Hello, dear," Glbbs said lifelessly. "Did Tommy come?" "I had an order from the court that you might come into the sergeant's office to see Tommy," Ellen answered. "My God!--My Godl" He Whispered. trembling so violently that she was hardly conscious of what she wns saying. "But. Gihbs. we thought it best not to bring him." He nodded, looking down at his clasped hands. Ellen gave the dropped patient head, the beautiful Idle fingers and the whole drooping figure a look of infinite compassion. "Glbbs. dear." she said, her tone quivering treacherously. "The reason was that George thinks he has new evidence." "I knew he was trying to find some," Glbbs said wearily. "You know, I'm so afraid of going Into, hysterics, or fainting, or something," Ellen said childishly. "That I want you not to say you don't believe me when I tell you something. Look at me dear," taking both his hands. "Look at me. Try to understand what I am saying. We think-- we think--that-i-the--the murderer has confessed." "You think!" he echoed, his tone suddenly harsh. "What do you mean? Don't yoft know?" "We will know," she said, trembling. "We will know in a little while now. Glbbs, I'll tell you Just how It all came about. Lizzie and Joe and Tommy came down from Bridgeport this mbrnlng. and It was while I was keeping Tommy quiet--for It's a long trip for a child--that he suddenly said something about grandpa. Lizzie and I were not listening exactly, but the words seemed to come hack to me--as words do. .vou know, nnd I said, as quietly as I could, 'What did you say grandpa let vou do?' , • »« "He said, 'Flre^hls revolver.* * (Ellen's words fell In a tense silence. Gibbs looked .at her with awakening eyes. "My God--my God!" he whispered. "Weil, we looked at him, and I was so afraid I'd frighten him, or make him self-conscious, that I could hardly get any voice. But Lizzie asked him when this was, and he told us the whole thing. That he had wandered to the too of the stairs in his nightgown, and grandpa was walking across the lower hall: he had Just put a telegram on the hall table, for Torrens to take in the morning, and he called Tom down. Tommy said that he wanted to play with the chessmen, and he opened the table drawer-- Glbbs, you would be amazed how clearly he told It! He said grandpa was sitting In that very chair, and Glbbs, he even took Jfje attitude--! He said that he saw the pistol, and grandpa said. 'Take It out. Tommy. It's not loaded.'" "He couldn't possibly have loaded It dear, with dad^ looking on. And my father surely wouldn't haye had It loaded--!" "But, Gihbs, Msla- bad . loaded It that morning!" G--d!" Glbbs said again, under his breath. "And this part, Glbbs. Is so strange! He fired It twice, your father directing him. He fired first at some target over the mantel, and then somewhere else--" • • "Couldn't pull the trlggerrrj^'Glbba said breathlessly. Oh, Indeed he did! He fired twice, but you see those chambers were empty. And, Gibbs, he says that grandpa said to him. 'Good old Tommy!' You remember how he used to say that? Then they had some talk about soldiers, and finally your father was a spy--and the amazing thing Is, Gibbs, to hear Tommy *ell it --every few mlflutes he would put in something that the testimony haa developed, and Lizzie and I would look at each other! I couldn't realize It-- the Importance of it, but 1 knew George was on his way, and that he would know! Well, and then Tom got frightened, and he tried to rouse your father, and threw the pistol In the basket, and ran out. and called for Lizzie. But Lizzie, of course, didn't | hear. He wasn't sure whether your father was fooling or not. but the noise of the report frightened him. He was afraid he'd be scolded for getting out of bed and going downstairs so when he found Lizzie was not in the room, he got into bed and before she .came in, he fell asleep. The next day, of course, we carefully kept any of the excitement from hirn--" "What does George think abont itr "Well, I don't know. But he telephoned the district attorney immediately. and Ryan Is here now talking to George, and to Tommy.' Oh, Glbbs--Glbbs!" She broke off feverishly. "It's made me-- I can't tell you--so nervous!--I can't tell you--" "I know!" he interrupted nervously. "We mustn't allow ourselves to think about It--I" "Could r child Tommy's age testify, Gibbs?" "I don't know, dear." "And--if they believe this, does It mean a new trial?" "It might, I don't know." -."We can only wait." Ellen tightened her fingers on his, and they sat silent "V A messenger came -to fbe oftteer at the cell's door who spoke a moment later to Ellen. Would Mrs. Josselyn step Into the warden's office a minute, to speak to Mr. Lathrop? Ellen, with one quick flutter of hreuth, smiled a goodby to Gibbs and was gone. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Early Locomotive Did Not Operate in Rain Nearly all the great Inventions and discoveries which have made modern life so wonderful and at the same time so strenuous have been produced within the last century. A huge step forward was made, something ^>out a century ago, when the steam engine was adapted to haul trains of "wagons" on ruilroads. A copy of the Philadelphia Chronicle of that period contains this unique advertisement: Notice-- The locomotive engine (built by Mr. W. Baldwin of this city) will depart daily when weather is fair with a train of passengers: on rainy days horses will be attached." This engine, "built by Mr. Baldwin," was the beginning of the great Baldwin locomotive works, which is now one of the biggest things of the kind in the world. Mr. Baldwin made the astonishing boast that his original engine would "druw 30 tons on a level road." Now a single freight car will bold twice that much. Strength of Pigeon* The power of a pigeon has been Investigated. French scientists recently made flying pigeons unwind a thread wrapped around a reel equipped with a brake, and measured their "horse power." A one-pound pigeon developed the equivalent of one horse power for thirty pounds weight. The experimenters complain, however, that the pigeons were evidently not doing their best. * *X4>X*X<>X*X<>X*X*X4X4>X«X<>X*X+X*X4>X4'X*X*X*Z*X*X*X*X*X*X« Selected Bert of All Traveling Companions The Chinese have a fable of a man who was once summoned to appear for trjal under an unjust accusation. The jrtace where he was to be tried was far distant and the Journey was long and hard. Just before starting, three disguised figures suddenly appeared and asked to accompany him. Said the first, "I cannot promise to go with you all the way, but I will see that you have comfortable lodgings and plenty to eat and drink so long as I am with you." The second said, "I cannot promise you these things, but I assure you you shall have pleasant companionship, laughter and conversation so long as I am with you."

Every one is up at daybreak, and one of the first duties of tha housewife Is to see about the day's marketing. Unlike many women of our country, she rarely if evfer goea to market herself, but prefers to give her orders to her'servant. There Is always the market propel, which ia under cover, with stalls af» ranged not unlike those In our markets. This, however, forms but a small part of the whole. All tha streets leuding to the market hare their displays, and tho human tide of color moviug in and out has an irresistible charm. The first thing that attracts one's attention upon entering is the flo#> ers. With their riot of color. Violet^ the double sweet-scented kind; roses, with long stems and thick, glossy leaves, indescribable in their delicacy of color; exquisite carnations, with dew still on them--all the flowers you. can carry and a Hashing smile from the vendor for a few cents, says a, writer-ih the New York Herald-Tril* une. Many of the vegetables sold were new to us, especially those of the root variety. The Mexican woman buys her food in small quantities. Just sufficient for one day's Use. I have often seen a woman carrying in her hand one onion, a few carrots and a slice of squash--probably her soup vegetables for one day. Potatoes and tomatoes, although natives of these southern countries, are small and in-° ferlor, showing little cultivation. We were surprised to see many of oulT own native fruits displayed; peaches, pears, grapes and apples were plentifulv but did not compare in flavor with those grown in the North. Mangoes, pineapples and aguacates were at their best and were thoroughly en- Joyed. Here and there about the market Indian women sat cooking over charcoal braseros. Rice, frijoles and chile con carne were dished ui. in brown glazed bowls, and eaten with strips of tortillas, folded so that they could, serve as spoons. Tortillas are flat*, thin cakes made of cornmeai and winter and fried. Other women sat behind palm mats, upon which wpre at-~ ranged piles of nuts of six or seven each, .vhicli they sold for 1 cent i pile. These, with a few seeds and several bunches of herbs, formed their stock In trade, the whole not amounting to more than 20 cents. Beautiful woven baskets, reed an<F raffia work of all kinds, fcr which the Indians of North and South America are famous, delight the tourist: The dyes give brilliant colors of purple, yellow, red and green, which harmonize perfectly with the colors of the fruit and vegetables on all sides. "#r Cheerful Spirit Any patient in Kllnkerville waa lucky who could enlist the servicea of "Aunty" Scroggins as his nurse. "Now, you Just take that' look offt your face, won't you?" she commanded a patient who was recovering frera typhoid. "You ain't half as sick as you were five weeks ago; let your thoughts 'vfell on tlftt and let 'em 'well on this: There's lots o' folks outdoors fallln' from the tops o' buildings and getting run into and over by automobiles and contraptions of all sorts, besides those that are yleldin' to temptation o' various kinds and he* ing sent to jail and then to state's prison. And while all these dreadful things are going on outside, what is happening to you? You are getting well at home, in peace and plenty, and what's more, In as handsome a walnut bedstead as there is in all Kllnkerville. You let your mind 'well on these things a spell and then you turn over and go to sleep."--Edwin Tarrissee in Judge. , Cost of Living in Madrid A study has recently been made showing the normal needs of living for a working man of the lowet classes and his family in Madrid. The budget is made on the basis of a family of five, father, mother and threie children, between the ages of three and thirteen, says United States commerce reports. The total budget ll shown nt 5,354 pesetas for the year, which amounts at the current exchange rate (approximately $0,135 to the peseta) to $723. Of this amount $467 Is allotted to food, $57 to housing, $118 to clothing and $81 to miscellaneous expenses. The amount ol the budget, however, considerably exceeds the salary of the majority ol the laborers and the standard of ing is actually somewhat lower. Propeller for Skier* Motorized skiing is a novel sport recently made possible by means of a sjnall air propeller driven by a light motor that is strapped on the back of the skier, says Popular Science Monthly. The invention, from Germany, Is said to enable an experienced sklet to travel on the level at high speed.
