Another Advance Made.

The Kelley cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to tho liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute of
Maryland by which the Keeley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service of
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving 50 ef-
icacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the offi-
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues begiven
the treatment.

lima continues its good work at Co.

tute or drawer 81.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Wessley
Hall, colored hunchback, was found
at his home here tonight with his
head crushed and his ears split as if
by razor. Everything around was
spattered with blood, and the disorder
of the room showed that the murdered
man had made desperate effort to
defend himself. Hall was about 40
years of age and the treasurer of
church, which leads to the belief that
the probable motive of the crime was
robbery.

FCoUID he, COULD a MURDERED MAN,
10 THAT?
It was fully two hours later than
'sual which Herbert Lathrop descended
the stairs the next morning, after hav-
ing Informed MnP Of his coming mar
TIage with Miss Hill, nor did he appear
much reti e3hed.
Slumber had not closed his eyes until
the night was we'll spent, and then his
sleep was 81 that nature that it rather
exhausted than refreshed, for it was
troubled with ftful dreams in which
his murdered uncle, Angus Bruce, Clara,
his intended, and Aunt Mag, all played
their parts.
He had been at the Old home in VIII
ningtOn-he was down at the bank, al
t>ring his uncle's will.
"What, but 5000 to your nephew?,
lrake 1t 30, uncle, make it 5O-another

fast: he promised to send south and buy

b'long to q murderer. There ainf but
one way missis; there amt but one
way"
"What way is that, Mag?"
"You see, Miss Jennie, | must have
some one hid in the house; in the lie
hrary whar they can heer every word;
an at night, when I bring in Marse
Herbert his hot Scotch, I'll talk to him
bout the murder in such way that
he'll confess his crime, and then they'll
be witnesses to what he says"
"Can you DO that, Mag? Can you do
that? Thank God; there is daylight
ahead if you can"
81 can do it, missis; if we can get
some one smart enough to manage the
balance"
"IVe nun do that, Mag; we nun do
that; but wha's that, lass, wha's that?"
And looking out of the window Jennie
saw an apparently middle-aged man,
dressed in a plaid suit, entering the
gate.
'Why," said Aunt Mag, "that gentle
man came down on the Sunshine. l
saw him on the boat"
The gentleman referred to had by
this time advanced on to the piazza,
and Margaret Bruce opened the door.
The gentleman raised his hat. rs
this Mrs. Bruce" he asked-"Mrs. Don
aid Bruce?'
you may weel say that, mon; it has
been many years sin I changed my
name to Margaret Bruce"
"Then you are the mother of Angus
Bruce?"
"Aye, aye, of Angus Bruce, mon,
Came thee to speak of Angus?"
81 did, madam; my name is Gordon
Hugh Gordon
"Wha' Gordon? Thee nun be a
Gordon of Glen Gordon. Lass, this
gentleman be Mr.. Gordon. My daugh-
ter Mr.. Gordon, and this be Aunt Mag.
Now, daughter, you and Aunt Mag
have out your talk in the ither room."
Jennie and Aunt Mag withdrew, and
Hugh Gordon and the mother of Angus
conferred for q long time,
Finally Margaret Bruce arose from
her chair and opened the door, out Of
which Aunt Mag and her daughter had
passed. Jennie, come here, lass, and
you, Aunt Mag"
Margaret Bruce held letter in her
hand that she had evidently been read
ing. There were tears in her eyes, but
happy smile on her face.
"Aunt Mag, we have found mon,
wha' weel manage the balance"
When the Sunshine left her dock for
Wilmington Aunt Mag was seated in
the cabin again, and she entered the
house at Kendall at four o'clock.
Herbert was seated in the library and
saw her approach. AS soon as she had
entered he said;
"Take off your things, Aunt Mag,
and take glass Of wine after your jour
ney, then tell me the result"
"There amt much to tell, Marse Her.

night on Of course tole her no; not
till heard you calling Angus your
uncle's murderer, II they know any
thing, master, they skeercd to speak it,
since Angus turned pirate"
Did you see the cook, Tobe?"
"No, Tobe was off somewhar, but
marster you needn't give yourself no
uneasiness bout the Smithvillc end,
that's all quiet, | dunno what got me
worked up so bout it, but Use glad

"lIow did they treat you? DO you
think they guessed your crrand?"
"Bress you, no, honey; they treat

"Did they state IL Angus stopped

"Marster, they just wouldn't say

swell, Mag, I'm better satisfied, any
Wny, but 1t was n useless trip, Every
thing Is working all right so don't have
any more foolish notions TO upset me.
Now I'll drive over for Miss Fannie"
Herbert arose from his chair feeling

and headed for Orton
