White heart of q land Of honor,
And joy of a people freei
From the sunshine that fell upon her,
Ere soft rains ceased 10 be,
God gathered the diamond splendor
OF a world from sea to sea,
And poured the efTulgence tender
In the valley of Aserre.
Then be took Of the skies above 1t
The delicate tints they wore,
To clothe the hills that should love it
And guard it for everinore-
The rarest of sapphire sparkle
And azure a wondrous store.
And amethyst that should darkle
Like depths that are far from shore.
And out of the soil as he willed it.
He took of each flower that grows
The seed of the fairest. and spilled it
In the valleys fertile close.
And he sent the sun and the showers,
And many stream that flows,
To fashion thousand bowers
OF jasmine and royal rose,
Til never spot was fairer
Than that where the city should be,
And never picture rarer
For human eyes 70 see.
White heart of land OF homer,
And joy Of a people free,
With the sunshine Of God upon her
And the blessing of liberty

story of your own life, I have written

Parker laughed an ugly laugh.
sit was tough job to reconstruct the
twenty years of your life you spent be-
| tween four stone walls"
Hush" said the other old man, ''for
heavens sake don't talk of that
"Wen, you served your time out; they
can't take you for it again. 1t was a
rocky path that of your life, old man,
and I have smoothed it very inge-
niously."
Keep quiet" cried the old man, with
an oath, ''or I'll kick the whole thing
overheard"
This threat had a subduing effect upon
Parker.
"WeIl, don't get huffy," he said; ''rll
be quiet. But you must be pat with it
when you're called upon for it. don't
think you will be, for + doupt-if there
will be a contestant. But the lawyer
whom shall employ may want to know
your story"
"Why don't you do it yourself: You
are lawyer"
''There are certain circumstances con-
nected with my professional career
which make it advisable for me to keep
out of court. But can't idle here. I've
got great deal to do today. Here are
some papers want you to sign"
"What are they:'
"The agreements and contracts of
transfer to me of one-half of the proper
ty when you get it."
"Well, am entitled to the whole"
"Of course you are, you old ass; but
if you don't give me half you won't
have any part of it. Sign, or you won't
get smell of it; and besides, I'll stop
your allowance"
This was a dire threat, and meant
stoppage of liquor, so he signed with a
trembling hand:
flames Preston"
'Now, wait a moment" said Parker
He went to the window and beckoned
to man who stood upon the opposite
side of the street.
In a moment more the person entered
the room.
'You are notary public; l want you
to verify these signatures.
1t was ceremony soon accomplished,
and Parker placing the papers in his
pocket, went off, after leaving ten dol
lar bill with the old man Preston.
The Shadow remained long enough at
his post to hear Preston say:
"Well, there's something crooked
about this. but l don't know what. Any
how, / know l am the brother of the
man they call Charles Pierson. can't
figure it out, but l can go and get
drink"
AS the old man went out, the Shadow
stepped down lightly and passed into his
room.
Il don't know that the matter has any
bearing on that which the Boss has in
hand guess not. But will tell him
anyhow"
When he did tell Tom, that astute
young gentleman said:
mo, do not believe it has any imme-
date bearing on our matter. 1t has this
effect, however, and that is, that we
won't worry much about Parker's par
ticipation in the matter, for he is not
pursuing the line we are and has no con-
nection' with it. What he is in for is
clear enough. He will make a blunder
of it, for he don't know it all, and he'll
get in mess before he is aware of it.
I'll drop hint to the surrogate to go
slow on any application made on behalf
of James Preston. But, say, old Par
ker may be a valuable man to follow up
on the line of Pierson. He evidently
knows more about him than we do. 1t
will be worth while to cultivate him
when we get the chance, but just now
there are Other thin - he DONE

Judge Harkner and he quarreled very
bitterly; over what I never knew. He
was careful to send everything to Pier
son, and I don't know who was his law
yer subsequently. The great amount of
business he brought into the Office was a
tradition when l came in. However,
there is an old man who was a clerk in
this Office for many years-confidential
clerk, and who is now retired because of
age He lives on Long Island, a short
distance back of Brooklyn. I advise
you to call upon him; will give you a
line to him.
Acting upon the impulse Of the mo-
ment he wrote an introduction.
Messing took the note and went away,
after promising to call upon Holbrook
again.
As soon as he was out of the door Tom
came forth.
"You Internal asst" cried Tom, "what
under the heavens did you shove him
out in that way for?''
Holbrook's face fell.
''See here, Bryan, there is limit to
the things you may say to me-"
81 beg your pardon, Holbrook; let
my feelings master me. But what pos
sessed you to shut him off that way. He
was disposed to talk"
"Well, principally because you were
behind the screen"
what of that"
"Well, the same circumstances do not
surround Messing as do surround Foun-
tain-the same suspicions-and didn't
want him to become confidential when
he thought he was talking to reputable
counselor alone"
"But doesn't this queer state of things
strike you? See here. We suspect
Fountain of Templeton's murder
slightly, to be sure-but suspect him.
He comes to see you inquiring for Pier
sons papers. Messing sees that murder
and he comes inquiring about Persons
papers What connection is there?"
II saw all that and recollect what you
have forgotten"
WHAT"
THAT we have our suspicious of Foun-
tain through Flora Ashgroves strange
behavior and that she manifests great
anger against Messing, threatening to
be his accuser, while denying knowledge
of himI'
''ro be sure! To be sure! Don't you
see that these condolences have an i'm
portant bearing upon the murder-that
you lost an opportunity to get hold of a
string which may lead us straight to the
RESULT"
''Oh, don't believe Messing knows
anything of the affair"
My dear fellow, everything is guess
work, but every line must be examined.
How could you let Messing slip through
your fingers sou
He is easily enough regained. l can
get his address from the police authori-
ties, and he will unburden himself to the
old clerk, George Dclwell. I'll tell you
what I'll do I'll telegraph Dolwell to
give him all the information he can and
to extract as much as possible. The old
boy is very shrewd."

himself in thought.
