into which her son had kicked it, took
up the bellows and resumed her at
tempts to coax some flames out of the
dingy slack balls which decorated the
hearth.
There was no sound in the little room
except the consumptive squeaking of
the bellows. O'Ruark stood near the
hearth gazing down at the fire as if
nothing was disturbing or perplexing
him. Yet he was almost trembling
with excitement. He felt nearly GER
tain that the missing bank notes were
within his reach. If his suspicious
proved to be unfounded he would,
he felt, no longer be fit for de-
tective work. He had already given
himself away" by declaring in the bar
racks to his fellow wconstables-when he
had halted there on the way to lIarti-
gan's cottage-that the notes would be
found in the butter-buyer's house. 1t
was perhaps a rash statement to pin
himself to, but he wanted to have the
full credit of having so quickly, in the
face of Mr.. Bodllins opinion as to the
integrity of his employe. detected q
crafty thief in Andrew Hartigan. If
he was wrong the laugh would be
against himself, and he would earn the
enmity as well as the contempt of all
who might chance to hear later on of
his early suspicious But if he was
right he would score triumph.

the bellows from the deaf old woman's
hands. See he went on, taking a
sharp-loolling knife off the edge of the
dresser. lit wants a little more air let
into it to allow it to work properly"
The old woman rcse terror plainly
written in her wrinkled face. Then she
uttered piercing cry and threw her
self on the floor. With a motion of the
head to Mrs. Murphy Constable 0'Ruark
swiftly set to work and cut open the
leather sides of the bellows and shook
it vigorously. To his intense delight
few bundles of notes fell on the floor.

wrong with the working of this ma
chine" he observed, addressing him
self to the wife of his fellow constable.
"Now come here and attend to the un-
fortunate old lady"
As Mrs. Murphy moved towards the
PROSTATE woman Hartigan and Con-
stable Murphy appeared in the open
doorway of the room at the back of the
kitchen.
Quick" cried O'Ruarll, as Hartigan
made a swift spring. Put the darbies
on him. He means mischief"
The butter-buyer was Immediately
seized from behind in the strong EN-.

intentions were when he beheld the un>

A Cass avenue man, with a wife who
has her own ways about doing things,
catches her now and then.

Murphy and his wife. No one Will
know of the search if you don't speak
of it."
Il suppose it's all for the best"
groaned Hartigan, with an air of resig-
nation, but it's terribly hard on de-
cent people"
Constable Murphy and his wife now
entered the room, and Hartigan con-
veyed to his mother thatshe should re-
tire behind with Mrs. Murphy to the
room where the old woman slept. Mrs.
Hartigan seemed to take in the situa-
ton readily. She flashed a look of
anger at them all out of her faded blue
eyes, and then handed the bellows to
her son, who sighed in a heart broken
way as he laid the bellows fat on the
hearth and kicked the three-legged
stool out of his way into corner.
The two policemen now searched
Hartlgan and found he had nothing
concealed, and when the unpleasant
operation was over, the deaf mother re.
turned to the kitchen followed by Mrs.
Murphy, who declared she had been
equally unsuccessful in discovering the
stolen notes.
Il hope ye're satisfied now," said
Hartigan.
Not just yet" said O'Ruark. "All
the house must be examined carefully.

Constable Murphy go through the rest

Hartigan.
"Well, the sooner it's done the bet

Hartigan and Constable Murphy now
disappeared from the kitchen. O'Ruark
had leisure to work out little mental
problem which was beginning to tan
talize him.

HURLED TO Their Death!
Dynamite Horror i'm Spain--One Thousand
Lives Reported to Have Been Lost.

The steamer Cabo Muchicaco, laden with dyn-
amite, was lying in port at Santander in Spain,
when II was discovered that she was on fire. The
alarm was sounded, and the people rushed to the
scene, Woodworking that a horrible death awaited
them.
| Suddenly burning timbers, hot irons anchors,
lsmoke-stacks, and thousand persons or more
lwere hurled through the air and scattered for
miles around by theterYifc explosion of $50 cases
Of dynamite.
| Just few months ago one of the largest and
best arranged business houses ia this city was
completed
! A cargo Of fine, talor-made clothing, ladies'
fine wraps, gents hats and shoes were placed
Therein. The harbor of success was Just being
entered, when there was heard mighty roaring
lin the East. The finances of the country was on
fire. The greatest wave depression ever known
swept over the country and many brave and gal
liant men in all lines OF business went down (but
will rise again.)
This cargo of fine goods, under the crcumstan-
ices, proved to be the dynamite which caused the
lleXplosl0n OF prosperous business. No one was
killed, however, on account of the explosion and
those who were wounded are improving as rap
llidly as possible, and in the near future we hope
Ito see them entirely well without the loss Of a
Ihollar.
ii Never before has there been such an elegant
lime of goods thrown upon this market.

chase at once, because to-day they are here and
llto-mOrrow they may be gone.
