CHAPTER III.


When the old maid who had hoped to con-
vert Bill had won the minister to her way of
thinking two years had gone by. Another
year had secured the influence of two wealthy
men, AT the end Of five years the widow
Chase herself had signed the petition for the
pardon of the murderer of her son. The
movement grew as time went on. At last a
Governor whose sensibilities could be reached
by petition came into power. Ten years
from the month when Bill Fedden went to
prison for life the authorities came to him one
day to tell him he was free man; not inno-
cent, but pardoned. He had given 1t up long
ago. He had fought out with himself the
terrible battle of life-and won peace. He
almost felt that pardon was cruelty. But
with the simple bravery of man who has
nothing left to hope for, he went back to the
old home.
There was no one to greet him at the sta
tion that they had now in the little town
which had been country when he went away.
Oh, the terrible changes His own people
were gone away years ago, no one knew
where. He found his friend, the old maid,

Seeing the Town.
Ihe New York Morning Journal of Thurs
day last contained the following: Insurance
Broker Darwin b. Lester is back again in
Washington this morning-moralizing Pho
tographer Edward Graham is in the YorkyiIle
lookup, also moralizing!
Lester left Washington several days ago in
good mental fettle and anatomically intact
When he left the Grand Union Hotel at 6.3O
p. m. yesterday part of him was missing. 1t
wasn't much, to be sure, only piece OF his
nose, but it had been both useful and orna-
mental and he missed it each time he sneezed
in his upper berth in the Pullman sleeper
MONDAY, Lester, who is 35 years of age,
good dresser, glib talker and fond of society,
drew goodly sum of money. He told the
clerks at the Grand that he had written big
policy and made very nice commission. He
slyiy added that he might just as well see the
town. he commenced on Tuesday by lunar
he had seen quite enough.
Lester related his experience to Justice
Mcmahon at the Yorkville Police Court yes
terday. Listeners, If not sympathizers, were
photographer Graham, of No. SD Sixth ave-
nue., and Nellie Martell and her "ladi" friend,
"Toots" Bell, who live at No. 7SS Sixth ave-
nue.. Darwin b. did not quite remember how
he met the girl, but 1t was long time after
he left Tom Gould's and had had a drink at

them. They went up to the third floor of No.

on the lounge reused himself and also said
'Hello!"

Lester had not very distinct recollection.

lunge at him with an ice-pick. This was
no ordinary ice-pick, either-not one like the
Italian stabbed The. Allen with, but one with
teeth to it, 1t had a broad end like meat
chopper, and fangs to it. When Graham, for
he was the man on the lounge, withdrew the
ice-pick part of Lesters nose went with it,
and then the women screamed and the men
clinched. In some way the door was thrown
open and the men rolled downstairs in close
embrace Graham's head was cut and
bruised when he got up, and Officer Glenn
took him to st. Lukes Hospital to be attended
to before he was taken to court.
Graham swore In court that Lester first at

CHAPTER Nv.

"
The next morning the authorities and chief
cltizens went together from the pile of ruins,
which had been the home of the banker. and
where more than one man had shed tears that
morning to his memory, to the bank Strangers
must adjust the affairs the honored gentleman
had left behind him.
The front door was forced omen. II took
some time and tools had to be brought from
the blacksmith shop before it could be done.
Inside was wild scene of confusion. Kind
lings, ready to light, were scattered about.
as they had been at the bankers house. The
safe was wide open; the keys of the safe and of
the front door of the bank were beside it: large
portmanteau full of bank bills, securities and
yaluables, kept there for safety, stood near the
door leading to the bankers private room.
This door was as strong as the outer door. To
pass it would be as difficult. 1t fastened by a
spring lock when shut. Perhaps it had blown
shut, for the key was in the lock on the out
side. TO open it was the work of only a
moment. In one minute more men were
crowding around Bill Fedden with tears in
their eyes, and with hands stretched out to
clasp his. For within, with his head resting
on his folded arms on the table, sat Leonard
Edwards, dead by his own hand, and in his
stiff fingers was clasped pistol with the
name Bill Fedden on the handIe-a pistol
stolen ten years before. And "Suicide is con
fession. y WdverIey Magazine.

and from her he learned in brief how the
world had gone while the prison walls had
held him.
Tom French was noted lawyer. Leonard
Edwards was the banker in the little town,
rich and respected. Hehandled all the money
of all the residents. Every one trusted him.
Alice Brown married Edwards eight years be-
fore. They were childless. Report said thev
were not happy. Pearlie Bradstreet was be-
leved to be thoroughly and entirely depraved.
And so on Of many others.
In the evening Fedden went boldly TO the
store where he had spent many evenings in by
gone years; people looked rather queerly at
him, but nearly every man present had signed
the petition for his release, and all gave him a
sort of welcome.
There was news to excite comment, unex-
pected news, and SO the expected and discussed
and looked forward-to return of the murderer
became less important. The news was that
Pearlie Bradstreet had gone; gone by the
train; gone in broad daylight; but gone with
all her belongings, and gone without word
OF explanation, so far as could be found out,
to any one.
"We'll watch to see who goes on the train
at midnight We shall be one man fewer as
well as one woman, in the morning.
AT IL, just as the crowd at the store were
about going home, there was a sudden alarm
of fire. The great mansion belonging to
Leonard Edwards was burning. BY the time
the engines reached it, it was beyond help.
Brave men penetrated as far as the bedroom
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards, and brought out
Mrs. Edwards dead and terribly burned. The
private office of Leonard Edwards, beyond,
was simply furnace at that time.
III he's in there he was beyond help long
ago." said fireman.
"It's the work of criminal" said another:
s'the house was fired in score of places.
There are piles of kindling along the hall
above not entirely gone yet. 1t means rob-
berry and murder"
No one could accuse Bill Fedden, however,
Tor all knew where he had spent the evening.
No one went on the midnight train-so re-
ported the man who had gone from the fire
purposely to watch.
Something had detained Pear,ie Brad

A Tax and Not a Tax.

1t is amusing to watch the Repuh-
lican press in it's anxious endeavors
to portray the Republican party as
the special providence of the people
of the United States. 1t has sort
of difficult task to perform in its en-
deavor to prove that high tariff is
an unalloyed blessing, and at the
same time show that in removing the
tariff from sugar that party benefited
the people. There car be no doubt
that one or the other of it's postulates
is false, but undismayed by this fact,
the average Republican editor de-
votes himself to the endeavor to rec
oncile two irreconcilable PROPOSE
tions.
This endeavor reminds US of the
witness in a hog case tried in this
town. When put upon the stand to
testify as to the value of the hogs he
stated. There is something mys-
FERROUS about my testimony respect
ing them swine, l would rather have
that swine to-day than to have it
three months ago, and | would rath-
er have it three months ago than to
have it to-day"
This is very mysterious, but not
more incomprehensible than the idea
that tariff is a blessing, and re-
moval of it also a blessing.
About the most sensible conclu-
sion we can suggest is for the Re-
publican editors to come like little
men and acknowledge that they have
lied Monroe Wdtchman.
