One cold winters day Margaret Gwynne and

There WAS such terrible earnest ness in
Morals voice that Ethel Fletcher never paused
Ito doubt.
The next instant she was In tho hall calling
to Fletcher and Peyton, and by the sound Of
|clanging doors and hurrying footsteps down
the path. tho listening child knew that her
words had been heeied.
When Miss Fletcher returned she found
Nora unconscious on the floor. a tiny stren m
OF blood staining the white fur OF tho hearth
rug on which she had fallen.
AS Ethel Fletcher knelt and raised tho sad,
unchildlike face to her bosom, Morals dark

ness.

and then. looking once up at the plying eyes
above her and cutching her loved teachers

And Ethel Fletcher, her hot tears falling
upon the stiffening form in her arms. did not
|speak. for she knew by the smile on the dead
ohi'ds lips. that the answer had re'ehed her:
AS Fletcher and Peyton drew near tho works
the counting-room windows were illumined
from within. and tiny streams Of smoke were
|curling through the loosened snshes.
Fletcher drew his breath sharply, and tight
|ened his grasp on Peyton's arm.
"We're TOO late, the whole place 10 on hre

Regardless Of personal danger he hurried to
the side of the building with the idea of forcing
Ian entrance. and the door yielded to bis pow
erful blows. letting out q binding cloud of
smoke as it fell. Az hestepped backward, half

lair ; in the blaze CATER Gwynne stood revealed
for one instant, q smoking pistol in his old,

relaxed his hold on Kellys throat, and fell life

Gwynne's unshaven, terror-s:ricken face
disappeared In the darkness.

SHOT HIS BROTHER.
What an Old Pistol Bought for Five Cents
and a Rabbit Trap Did.

What an Old Pistol Bought for Five Cents
and a Rabbit Trap Did.
The shooting reported to the police Satur-
day afternoon having occurred at No. 1908
Bladensburg road as published in Saturday 6
STAR, proved, upon investigation. to have &C.
Cured in the woods not far from the number
mentioned. The affair was a sad accident that
may result in the death of Jonathan Robertson,
thirteen-year-old boy. His ffteen-year-old
brother Edward did the shooting The
boys are brothers of Policeman Robertson
of the second precinct. Saturday morning the
boy who did the shooting purchased old
broken pistol from hoy in the neighborhood
and with his brother started Cor Morrison g
woods, thinking he could shoot some birds
Soon after reaching the woods bird appeared
in sight OF the youthful gunner and he raised
his broken pistol to shoot the little sparrow.
just as he was about TO shoot his brother Jona-
than appeared and the bullet intended for the
bird entered his right breast just above
the nipple. Edward looked to see the bird fall,
but instead Of the bird he saw his brother fall
and give scream. Edward was badly fright
ened. but instead of running away be called for
assistance and had his wounded brother con-
veyed to his home. DR.. Gardner WAS sent for
and he probed for the bullet. but failed to To-
cate it. The wound is a dangerous one, and il
~ tAouSut the Duliet proDaDiy penetrateu tne
lung. When the officers of the eighth precinct
went to the house and heard the sad story they
arrested Edward and took him to the station
where $50 collateral was deposited for his APP
pcarance.
Policeman Rodgers appeared in the Police
Court this morning as the prosecuting witness
and told the story of the sad affair.
Where did you get this pistol" inquired the
judge.
II bought it from boy for cents and a
| rabbit trap answered the boy.
Might just as well had a gatling gun. How
| did the shooting occur?"
! II leyeled the pistol at bird, " he answered,
'and just as pulled the trigger my brother got
| in the way"
"Of course" remarked the judge; .'just what
one might expect. "How is the injured boy
getting along?"
Very we'll, so the surgeons say" replied the
boys father.
The latter also said that he had directed the
boy to get rid of the old pistol, and his mother
had also told him to return it to the boy from
whom he got it.
The judge dismissed the case against the boy.
and Mr. Robertson turned the pistol over to
the officer and told him to destroy it.
