AT THE JAIL.


Last afternoon. per promise made ON
the train, The Statesman reporter called
AT the jail ut G3O o'clock and gave Burt
the paper containing an account of the
murder. Burt read the article very care
1ully and very deliberately, and during
the whole time that he was reading tbe
eye of the reporter was glued on his
hands and face to note if there was the
slightest tremor. There was not His
hands did not trcmble in the least and
his face did not change the slightest in
color When he had finished reading
the report. the reporter asked him if
he could say anything about the truth
fulness of the report or whether he had
committed the murder. Burt at once
looked up and said: "No. | can saw
nothing on that line, as | told you on the
train. | will tell you this much, though,
from hurried reading of the report.
The servant girl told the truth when she
said there had never been an unkind
word passed between my wife and my
self. The girl would know, too for we
treated her just as though she was one
of the family. In the evenings after
she had finished up everything she would
come INTO our room or go on the gallery,
IN case ii was warm enough and sit
with us until bedtime, and she did this
most all the time
did you leave here with Il woman or
did you know about that report?' asked
the reporter.
ut is false replied Burt. 81 never
left here with any woman, nor have
spoken to one since | left here, save in
Il business way in case it became nee
essary. With reference to what | told
You on the train about those witnesses
of mine, when | give out their names
| think it will create somewhat of Il
sensation
Are your witnesses male or female?'
asked the reporter.
They are malcs," replied the prison
or. Il will, to Il great extent, use the
states witnesses to clear myself, but
these three witnesses of my own will
also be on hand"
The prisoner refused to say anything
further, saying that he had nothing
further to give out of interest. and The
Stai' s!Aan reporter then left the Jail.

CHAPTER III.

But news reached the village from a
friend of Phyllis father concerning
Mr. Humphrey Gould, her remarkably
cool and patient betrothed. This gentle
man had been heard to say i'll Bath that
he considered his overtures to Miss
Phyllis Grove to have reached only the
stage of half understanding, and III
view of his enforced absence on his IA
theirs account, who was too great an in
valid now to attend to his affairs, he
thought it best that there should be no
definite promise as yet on either side.
He was not sure indeed that he might
not cast his eyes elsewhere.
This account, though only piece of
hearsay, and as such entitled to no alb
solute credit, tailed so well with the
infrequency of his letters and their lack
of warmth that Phyllis did not doubt
its truth for one moment, and from that
hour she felt herself free to bestow her
heart as she should choose. Not so her
father. He declared the whole story to
| be fabrication. He had known Mr.
Gould's family from his boyhood, and if
there was one proverb which expressed
the matrimonial aspect of that family
well it was, Love me little, love me
long" Humphrey was an honorable
man, who would not think Of treating
his engagement so lightly. "Do you
wait in patience, " he said. IAN will be
right enough i'll time. "
From these words Phyllis at firstly
imagined that her father was in CORE
spondence with Mr.. Gould, and her
heart sank within her, for in spite OF
her original intentions she had been re-
lieved to hear that her engagement had
come to nothing But she presently
learned that her father had heard nc
more of Humphrey Gould than she her
self had done. while he would not write
and address her fiance directly ON the
subject lest it should be deemed an i'm
putation ON that bachelors honor.
"You want an excuse for encouraging
one or other Of those foreign fellows tC
flatter you with his unmeaning atten
tons, )" her father exclaimed, his MOOD
having Of late been very unkind one
toward her. II see more than l 50
