Ralph Prescott needed no further in
formation on which to base rapid, pro-
gr, ssive action.
His eyes cleaned as if the happiness
OF a lifetime had come in one flashing
second Of space.
His face showed satisfaction, supreme
confidence, victory.
He started straight back to Ridgcton
that very hour, only on the way he halted
at little town.
1t was the one the miller had referred
10 as the place where he had traced his
runaway daughter and her thieving hus
band.
Ralph Prescott visited the clergyman
Of the village. He was closeted with
him for an hour or more.
When h" resumed his journey, his evil
face was more victorious than ever.
Plot ana counterpart kept his thoughts
busy until he reached Ridgeton.
He did not proceed at once to the for
mcr home of the rccluse, Godfrey For
sythc.
\ nights rest and reflection were
necessary to act clearly and make no
mistakes.
At dark the next evening he knocked
boldly at the door OF the house that
now sheltered the disguised Ruth Elliott.
She opened it timdlv. Her glasses,
false hair ana widows cap Well con-
cealel all trs, "cs of the youthful face be-
hind them.
Il wished To see You on Il matter of
business, Mrs. Easton," said Prescott
plainly.
The woman did not ask him in. Slightly
ucrSouS, she said:

have with me, sir"
It is in reference TO Mr.. Forsythe's
will

me. 1t Is Il matter of intense personal
Importance to yourself alone.
Reluctantly. the disguised Ruth adj
pitted her UnwelcOmC visitor.
She wa5 more disturbed at the proX-
Unity of a man she dreaded than at any
thought Of his penetrating her disguise.

A physician was soon in charge of the
invalid. He looked serious as he left
the house.
At its door he said to Prescott:

lost in anxious reyerie.
If Ruth died what could he hope TO
gain? He started slightly as he noticed
the figure of a man lurking in the shad-
ow of the trees.
What do you want there?" he called
out sharply, advancing a step or two.
The lurker came into the radius of the

CHAPTER MI.

Ralph Prescott fixed his eyes pcno-
tratingty upon his hostess, as he en-
phasized the name he had spoken.
Something sinister in their expression
caused Ruth to start slightly. With
masterly control of the role she had as
sumcsi. however, she said simply:

WITNESSES WERE HIRED.
Sensational Testimony In the Russell Muir
der Case.


der Case.
EAU CLAIRE, Wig, May 13.-If bomb
had been dropped into the courtroom
where the trial of Mrs. Russell for the
murder Of Bertha Erickson is in
progress, it would hardly have caused
greater sensation than did the story told
by witness for the defense. Alexan-
der T. Noble, a Pinkerton detective
from st. Paul, took the stand, and swore
that conspiracy existed to send Mrs.
Russell to the penitentiary, be she
guilty or innocent, and that
money had been spent freely
in bribing witnesses and building up &
case against the defendant that would
land her behind the bars at WGupun.
The story told by Noble is the capstone
sensation Of a case that has been full of
sensations from the day of the mysteri-
Gus death of the young wife of Peter
Erickson.
Detective Noble WAS good witness,
and told his story in 3 straightforward
manner. After giving his name, place
of residence and business, he stated
that he was employed TO work Tor
defense, and came here March
IL to find what false evidence
the state was getting up. He had letters
to Nat Galloway, prominent citizen,
who introduced him to District Attorney
Frawley, and he got into Trawley's
confidence. Frawlcv said he had
tried to make Mrs. Whipple, neighJor
of Mrs. Russell, swear that che gave
some arsenic 10 Mrs. Russell, which
was bought in the city, but she would
not.
Before Noble had reached this part of
the story Judge, jury, lawyers aud spec
tators were listening with wrapt atten-
ton 10 the story, which had come upon
the prosecution like clap Of thunder.
But the most startling part OF Nobc's
testimony was yet to be told. lie said
that Frawley had stated that he had a
spoon and bottle stolen from Mrs. Rus
sells house and had tried 10 get an old
fortune teller named Kennedy, Tor
500, to swear that Mrs. Russell
had made q confession 70 him; that
Erawiev asked witness TO get bottle OF
arsenic and place it in Mrs. Russcli's
house and then have an officer 80
with him and find it, ana wit
ness was then TO swear that
Mrs. Russell made 8 confession. Noble
declared that trawley sent him wit
ness with livery carriage TO Mrs.
Kussell's house, and witness had
made fictitious report to Fraw-
ley of what occurred there. Frawley
said, according to Mobiles story, that
Mrs. Russell would be Iynched if she
We're acquitted. and that Judge Bailey
and Mrs. Russell ought to be lynched if
the Judge threw the case cut of court on
account OF the absence Of Prof. iIaines
Noble said that EraWlcy had finally
become suspicious Of witness and told
the witness be would try --- hard
to send him to the penitentiary if he
went on the stand and tod what had
passed between them,
