CHATTER XIV.

The agent to whom Paxton had in
trusted the task of ascertaining where
Levi Kredge was on the night Of the
murder, and at the hour when the crime
was committed, had neglected one pro-
ceeding which his principal had ad-
vised. He had failed to search the jani-
tors room.
Paxton resolved to visit this apart
ment in person.
The next evening the detective re-
paired to his boarding place.
The landlady admitted him, and he
said:
I called to see Mr.. Kredge."
He Is not at home, sir, replied the
landlady
In that case will wait, If you please;
] have an engagement with Levi. He
asked me to run up to his room and make
myself at home in case arrived before
he returned"
VERY well. The second door on the
right at the head of the stairs"
Paxton assembled to Levi Kredge's
room, entered and closed and secured
the door.
The janitor's room was small sleep
ing apartment, with a closet opening
from it.
Besides the usual furniture, the room
contained Hedges trunk 1t was locked,
but Paxton opened IL by means Of a
skeleton key, and searched it. He dis
covered nothing to reward his quest
Then he ransacked all the drawers
and still he made no discovery
Completing the search OF the sleeping
room, he entered the closet.

"A story must be told TO account for
your midnight journey. Listen TO me.
1 have made a study of the case, and
here is what you must say when you are
brought to trial.
Your aunt, whose prospective heir
you are said to be, resides in Albany.
Very good. You made your midnight
journey to visit her.
Some one had informed you that the
nrst train in the morning would take
Weeks to Albany to see your aunt, TO
whom he meant to reveal that you had
become involved in stock gambling, TO
the extent OF ten thousand dollars.
You had obtained a sight of your note
for one thousand dollars, which you had
given the seoundrel, and when you saw
1t had been raised to ten, you knew
Pratt and Weeks meant to sWindle your
aunt.
You secretly took the midnight train
in order to see your aunt and explain
matters before Weeks came
You did not tell the truth at the COrO-
ner's inquest, because to do so would
have been to lead to the betrayal of the
person who had warned you of Weeks
intention of visiting Albany, on the
morning following the night of the muir
der That person was a young clerk,
John Sand by name. employed by Pratt
Weeks, and the sole support OF a
widowed mother and invalid sister.
You knew that if it came out that he
had warned you, he would be discharged
by Pratt & Weeks. In that event, you
thought the helpless ones dependent upon
his salary for support might suffer.
This consideration prevented your risk
ing the betrayal Of your friend by tell
ing the truth. Besides you will add that
you did not at the time of your exam
ination fully realize how great your
peril was"

Burdette on Time.

Six working days a week; that's all
you can get unless you steal from
Sunday, and if your business requires
you TO steal either time or money,
you'd better give it up and go into
something with more honesty and
less profit in it. What you can't
finish this week postpone until next,
or forever; and what sticks out over
the end of the year saw off and put
in the stove, writes Robert J. Bur
dette in his department From a
New Inkstand," in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Four seasons have passed,
and that's all there is. You must
make a fresh start every year. 1t
isn't an easy matter to learn how to
do this, but you've got to learn it
sometime, either before you die or
when you die; why not learn early
and get the good and the comfort of
it? Every day of my life the even
ing is apt to find something on my
programme that 1 haven't got to. I
say, Maybe L won't do that to-
morrow" and as a rule l don't. l
go to sleep and forget all about it.
Every year closes with uncOmpleted
work on my hands, and that year
ends that work. I'm not going to
drag it along with me into a new
year. 1 used to do that, so that
about half the time 1 was working
six weeks ago instead of to-day, and
dragging, wearisome business it was.
When you die there will be unfin-
ished work and raveled-ouU plans on
your hands. Then what are you 60
ing to do? Take it to heaven with
you and bother and drag along with
it there? Not much you won't.
Well, then, why not learn to drop
some of it here? 1t is a lesson not
so easily learned, but once learned,
it is more refreshing than a glass of
cool milk to the lips of the man with
the grip.

This night meeting. Your having
given your Inheritance to Judith Kredge.
Your positive declaration that Harland
is an Innocent man, replied Paxton.
You wrong me cruelty. can explain
nothing; but, by my dead fathers mem
DRY, swear that Donald Wayburn has
no knowledge Of my fathers murder.
He is Innocent"
With these words she unlocked the
door and entered the house.
Now, indeed, is my cup of misery
filled to the brim. Too late 1 discover
that I have made a fatal mistake, but I
cannot determine to abandon my pur-
pose yet, d" thought Marion, as she crept
TO her room.
Paxton made no attempt TO detain
Marion, and as the evening was not far
advanced and he had concluded to
abandon the business which had taken
him out that night, for the present, he
proceeded to visit certain shops devoted
to the sale Of curiOsities in the way Of
ancient coins, weapons, and the like. In
every shop he exhibited the bullet which
had caused John ORkburn's death, and
asked if they ever had a pistol which the
ball would fit.
In every instance the detective re-
ceived a negative answer, until at last
he entered a little shop whose proprie-
tor informed the detective that he had
sold an ancient air pistol provided with
such bullets as the one Paxton exhib-
tied.
Can you tell me the purchaser s
name?" asked Paxton, thinking a posi-
tive clue TO the solution of the mystery
was found at last.
4 keep memorandum of purchasers
names and addresses when, instead of
taking the goods with them at the time
Of the sale, they order them to be sent
home. 1 believe I wrote the name OF
the man who bought the air pistol in my
book. Yes, here it is, answered the
shOpkeePer.
Read it?" cried Paxton breathlessly.
There was a surprise in store for him
he little dreamed Of.

THE DANFORTH COURT-MARTIAL.

Testimony in His Defense Submitted This
Morning.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE court-martial in
the case o: Assistant Engineer Danforth, L. S.
n, of the Philadelphia, for characterization in
not obeying commands of Lieut Alderman,
was resumed this morning at l0:l5 o'clock. The
defense put on the stand Chief Engineer Ed
ward J. Whitaker of the Philadelphia.
Engineer Whitaker. white-bearded- pleas.
ant-taced man, gave his testimony clearly. The
questions were asked by judge advocate as if
Danforth asked them personally.
Mr.. Whitaker asked if he gave the
charge of the repairs of the capstan steam
pipe to Danforth-
II did," he replied.
Did you give me (meaning Danforth'
orders to see the pipe tested in person and re-
port to you?'
II did"

mo. sir"
Had you been would you have allowed the
pipes to be tested unless or another officer
were present?''
II should not"
ITO whom did you turn over the order to do
tb work?''
Mr. r. S. Griffin
"1s there any order in force on the Philadelphia
which empowers an engineer in charge to send
for his relief in case he is obliged to leave his
work for any purpose"
"No. sir; not to my knowledge; We are gov
erned by custom in such cases"
The room was then cleared for a period of
ten minutes of all spectators.
When Chief Engineer Whitaker had con-
cluded his testimony Assistant Engineer Il. S.
Griffin of the Philadelphia was called.
Mr.. Griffin said that he was familiar with the
regulations governing the engineers on watch
do you know of any order which authorizes
the officer Of the deck to require the engineer
to leave his station and come on deck"
Il do not
Mr.. Griffin stated that he did not know of
any regulation of the service by which the
officer of the deck would be held responsible for
accident in the engineers department, he hay-
ing called the engineer on deck. In regard to
the testing of the capstan steam pipe he said
it might have been postponed, but he had
ordered it to be tested when the repairs were
completed.
This concluded Mr.. Gritfiths testimony.
