SCROFULA

It Is that impurity in the blood, which, &C.
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which Is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t Is the
most general Of al diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from It.

How !: g. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, BY
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became SIX years Of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications Of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

Jury, the trial began We will summa-

logical order of events.
Mrs. Sally Matchin, who appeared
dressed in black, created a sensation in
court by stating that her real name was
now Mrs. Harry Trent, widow Of the
deceased, she having been privately mar
ried to him i'll France in the year
sighteen hundred and sixty-nine. 1t
was on account of this marriage that
Trent had built his new house. She was
asked to give a reason for the secrecy
that had been maintained, but the ques-
ton was objected to aud the objection
was sustained. She said that she be
heved she had been provided for in her
late husbands will, but no will had at
this date been found. She added that
MIR. Trent had taken ten at her home on
West Eighteenth street on the afternoon
before tho murder, and that they had
then arranged TO Immediately Issue in
vitatious to Il reception at his new house,
when the public announcement Of their
marriage was to have been made. When
they parted that evening he was in good
health and spirits.

CHAPTER III.

As our aim is not to harrow the reader
with the multiplication of vain details,

the time viii be given here.
The coroners jury found that Harry
Trent was te.omously murdered on the
night Of February twenty-five or the
morning Of February twenty-six, eight

or dagger in the hands of Keppel Darke,
an artist and portrait painter. The case
WAS promptly laid before the grand jury
who brought in a true bill against the
accused. lie was committed for trial,
and meanwhile was lodged lin ths Tombs
prison.
The district attorney announced that
he was ready to 90 on with the trial at
once, and Mr. Bannick, of counsel for
the accused, replied that no obstacles

In small private room in the palace
of the Tuileries, in Paris, two men were
sitting, One, young gentleman about
five and twenty years of age, occupied a
desk near the window that looked out
upon a broad, inclosed court, where a
sentinel, in blue coat and red pegtop
trousers, was pacing his beat. There
was quantity of papers on the desk,
and the young gentleman was writing a
summary of tho contents of these on the
backs of them and filing them away. A
light snow was falling outside and melt
ing as it fell, for the winter of eighteen
hundred and sixty-nine was still linger-
ing in the first months of eighteen hun
dred and seventy.

piece or evidence as inc IaJal dagger.
But, on the other hand, tho real mup-
derer who used the dagger had the best
of reasons for leaving it in the wound;
for to do so would be to divert suspicion
from himself. And who was the read
murderer? Unqucstionably the short
man with the dark beard whom Mrs.
Simpson lad seen between eleven and
twelve o'clock. The presence there Of
this man had not been accounted for
Yet the fact of his presence there had
been sworn to, and that fact was irrecon-
cilable with the guilt of the prisoner
And for the jury to bring in n verdict
against the prisoner would, therefore, be
to add another murder to the one already
committed. Let the short man with the
dark beard be found and the mystery Of
Harry Trent's death would be mystery
no longer.
The district attorney, In asking for a
verdict against the prisoner, said he
should have been well pleased had there
been better evidence to offer in his favor.
But really there was no defense. The
visit Of the prisoner to the house was
conceded; the possession of the dagger
was conceded; dispute on matter in
volving womans love was conceded;
the fact that no one else was admitted
to the house WAS conceded. As to the
prisoners explanations about the dagger,
even had they been matter of legal
evidence, they were utterly futile and
ridiculous No sensible man would
credit them for moment and it would

itel With respect to the conflict of ev-
idence regarding the identity of the
prisoner with the person whom Mrs.
Simpson thought she saw the district
attorney was far from wishing to dimn-
ish whatever tht it might have in
the jury's eyes. But he fancied it would
have very little.
The old lady had been asleep and was
still only half awake when she went up
stairs. She had had glimpse of some
one through a crack of door. and had
thought it was short man with u beard.
But he might have been sitting down,
and shadow might have caused the ap-
pearance Of beard. The jury would
have noticed that Mrs. Simpson, in the
witness box, had worn spectaclcs. She
certainly was not likely to have worn her
spectacles to bed, however, nor TO have
put them on to go up stairs on a voyage
of discovery after a candle Consequently
that glimpse of hers through a crack in
the door was likely to have been very
blind glimpse indeed. But it was un.

His face, somewhat 1eshy about the

aquiline nose, u carefully waved mus

were wide apart, and the heavy lids
dropping over them gave them a SOM

intentively, you would perceive that
they were eyes that nothing escaped

across his breast lay a broad, blue sash.
He was leaning back in his chair smok-

that Harry Trent had contidentially III

several wears past been paying hcran an

that he had told her that when his new
house was finished he would propose to
Olympia, and in case she accepted him
would take them both there to live with
him. In redirect examination witness
said that Mr.. Trent had not stated what

terviews with Monnot and Johnson Sher-
rick. The poetry amused him and the
other stuff led the Senator into a general
talk Of the doings of the Campbell mass
convention. He said he had attended
more than a hundred political conven-
tions, but this one was the greatest OF
them all.

The Senator talked freely about the con-
vsntion and did not hesitate to declare
that it was packed by the Campbell leaders
in Canton with yellers and shouters. He
denounced Or. Conklin, who with him act.
ed as teller, for assuming to take the chair"
mans place in announcing the vote, and,
said he took occasion TO call the doctor
down for his freshness, after the con-
vention adjourned. The Senator thinks
the only fair way TO select delegates to
