for his departure. He buttoned his
black coat up to his chin and pulled
down the brim of his hat; for the even
ing was growing cold, and wild north
wind ratified the window panes.

said Miss Simmons; you must not go
into the storm without one"
She hurried away to the closet, and
returned with an oldfashioned heavy
ulster. This belongs to my brother" ;"
she said; 'he is away now; you may
use it as long as you please" AS she
handed it to Pauley, strange smile
played around his lips, his hard eyes
seemed to soften; when he departed. he
was more courteous than usual, and he
muttered to himself, as he walked int O
the storm:
For once John Pauley has ex-
perienced the novelty Of being treated
like Christian. It's a caution how
such treatment will thaw a man out"
1t is impossible to f,llow the move
mcnts of Mr.. Pauley, during the next
two weeks, in detail; he was very
busy man; sometimes he appeared
soothed and sustained by an unfaltrl-
ing trust, as though he were nearinG
the goal, and again he appeared dis
couiaged and perplexed.
On the night before New Years he
arrived at the cottage rather late. Al
though calm, there was enthusiasm in
his eyes and cordially in his voice, as
he said:
Miss Simmons, the task is nearly
accomplished. Tomorrow shall place
the murderer in the hands of the au-
thorities, and you may go to the Jail
and get your lover. Now, be calm, and
I'll give you brief outline of the story.
| soon found that there was nobody in
this town who had a motive for kill
ing Williie, and there was no robbery
done. 1t was very possible that Wilkie
had made enemies, though, for he was
miserly and tyrannical. So | hunted

up his past; it was not very hard tc
do, for he was one of those foolish peo-
pie who keep a diary. In an old trunk
| found dozen volumes of his journal.
| struggled through hundreds of pages
of personal reflections and turgid weari-
ness, and found al last what / wanted
In his younger days Wilkie was a sea
captain, and n very cruel one, | have
no doubt. One day, years ago, when
his ship was on the Pacific ocean, he
gave an order to an Italian sailor. II
wasn't obeyed with proper aacrity, and
he knocked the sailor down The sailor
made threat, and was treated to the
ropes end. Now, Miss Simmons, the
Italians, or some of them, are vengeful
in the extreme; they c. carry grudge
for lifetime, and leave it as a legacy
to their children. | made inquiries
Sure enough, on the day preceding the
murder of Wilkie, swarthy man with
hand-organ and monkey came into
the town, to the great amusement of
the children. l have no doubt that the
swarthy man was knocked down on
the deck of ship in the Pacific ocean
once upon time.
'Singularly enough, after leaving the
town, this swarthy man fell down an
embankment a few miles in the coun-
try, and broke his leg; and he was car
led TO a hut in the woods, where an
odd bachelor lives, and there he has
been lying ever since, and the children
play truant to go there and feed the
monkey. He is able to walk now, and
might go away unexpectedly, We're it
not for the fact that | have made the
old bachelor deputy Of mine; and he
watches the swarthy man, and will keep
him there until tomorrow, when I'll
from Jail. l might have had him here
before, but there is some romance in
me, and | wanted the climax TO occur
on New Years day"
The detective was almost merry as
he concludcd: but when Miss Simmons
begged him to defer the release of
Hugh Morse no longer-not an hour
he grew somber, and talked in n discon-
nected way Of overcoats.
The morning of New Years day was
SO peculiar that old men and sages who
were reputed weatherwise, shook their
heads ominously, and predicted that the
day would be one to be remembered.
Not bough stirred in the heavy air;
the clouds were low, and moved slowly
to the north; there was audible n
gentle hum, as of the noise of a brook
in the distance, and no man could tell
what gave rise to it. But these things
did not disturb Mr.. Pauley, as he
moved actively along the highway on
his triumphal erranG. He started al
daylight on foot: he had arranged for
horse and wagon for the return jour
ney. At eight o'clock he reached the
hut in the woods and entered it, An
old man with gray beard was lying on
cot, breathing heavily and asleep.
Pauley shook him roughly. anG cried;
"Wherc's the Itaian?"
The old man started from his cot and
looked wildly around. "Gone! gone!"
he cried. "IIe was here with his monkey
when ! went to sleep; he gave me
something to make me sleep, for was
sick, and trusted him."
Pauley raised his hand as though to
strike him.
The ground was damp under the trees.

fugitive; he moved along like hound

before my interview with Mr.. Wilkic.
That is all that know about the mur-
der"
Mr.. Pauley proceeded from the Jail
to "A cottage in the suburbs of the town;
there he was eagerly welcomed by a
young woman who. although pale and
with lines of care on her brow, sng.
gesting that trouble was no stranger to
her, was still "a beauty; with feverish
impatlence she motioned the detective
to seat. and calmly he adjusted him
sci in his chair and glanced around the
room, as though to inspect the furniture
before proceeding. An old man was
nodding in chair before the stove: an
old lady was nodding in chair behind
the stove, with pious book in her lap
"Iour father and mother?" queried Mr..
Pauley.
No; my uncle and aunt; now do tell
me all; have you seen him?"
81 have seen him. Miss Simmons, it
is tough case; it will take a great deal
of work to prove anything to his ad-
vantage, and my work is expensive Do
you want me to go ahead?"
Certainly; the little money | have is
my own, and every cent of it is at , our
command. Money. | would give my
life to save Hugh, as he would for me ="
"How much money have you?"
Five hundred dollars"

kill sheep, and I'll have him out of

it. Therefore, the man who did do it

him. But won't find him sitting here,
so I'll say good-dny. Miss Simmons "
After delivering these sentences in a
jerky fashion, the detective prepared

IN one OF the recent severe thunder.
storms thn Beverly Farms cottage OF
DR.. j. COLTS Warren, of Boston, was
visited by lightning. The doctor and
his wife were in the parlor, and not only
heard two quickly successive strokes
tear their way through the plastering
in the hail. but saw them as two balls
of fire, although the wall separating the
parlor and the hall was between them
and the spots where the bolts tore their
way through the house. In other words.
the balls of fire made themselves visible
through the partition of lath and plas-
ter. Was not this an exhibition of the

miliar experiment with those operat-
ing the N-ray machine to make its
light seen through several rooms of
building in range, that is, through
the walls of those rooms, and even, in
Il case we have heard of, through the
fireproof safe in one of the rooms. as
well as through the partition walls.
The sort of phenomena witnessed at DR..
Warren's cottage is undoubtedly as old
as the universe, and probably accounts
for many ineNplicable and almost in
credible accounts of lightning strokes
recorded by cye-witnesses.
