How . st. Paul Woman Acquired Some

A well-known st. Paul woman, who

ing Of friends that she had never had

1t came about; in this way. Her little
journey" was across the water, and
while on the Unconventional ship she
found herself one day engaged in the
most animated and pleasing converse
ton with man who sat near her chair
on the deck. There was something
wonderfully pleasing in his personality;
he was evidently person of culture,
and with . wonderful fund of knowl.
edge at his command. His entire bear.
ing toward her was one of such exquisite
tact and Difference that the two
soon became Iwarm friends, and spent
long hours each day exchanging opin-
ions upon all kinds of impersonal topics.
By and by, just before tho steamship
reached New York, it transpired that
the man, himself still unknown, had
known all along who the lady was and
where her homo was. When she asked
in surprise how he could have known
he answered briefly: II am st.
aul man myself" This gave the kind
ly little woman an opportunity. "Then
my husband and will be glad to see
you any time in our home" she said
cordially.
Pardon me, madam" he answered
frankly, I'VE have been friends on board
the steamship. But when we return to
st. Paul neither you nor your husband
would receive me in your home, and
you would be fully justified. beg you
will you will not ask the reason"
And she did not. But when few
hours later her husband met her on the
pier and she pointed her late friend out
to him with the whispered story he an
swered slowly: "Well, he has behaved
like a gentleman, and I won't thrash
him. But he was quite right in what hi
said. He is one Of the best known con

CHAPTER XIV.
WHEN DETECTIVES QUARREL

WHEN DETECTIVES QUARREL?
When Burrows saw Mr.. Barnes in
the doorway, for moment he was con-
fused, but almost Immediately he con-
cluded that it was too late for the older
detective to take any of the glory away
from him. Summoning up his courage,
he said:
GOOD morning, Mr.. Barnes. You
are just in time to hear the news. l
have discovered the real murderer"
Mr.. Barnes looked at him keenly as
he asked:
who is it?'
1.-THE man whom suspected from
the start-Walter Marvel, replied Bur
rows, with tinge of exultation in his
voice.
"And pray how do you prove thisf"
asked Mr.. Barnes quietly. Burrows was
nettled at the tone of his superior and
answered with considerable asperity:
"Oh, there is proof enough. l am
sure of what 1 say, or l should not
make the assertion"
81 hope you are not making any blum
der, Burrows. Remember, it is a seri.
| Gus thing for a detective to make a
charge of murder against any one I'M
less he can assure a conviction at the
trial"
~ know that; but 1 tell you there is
no mistake here. / have tracked my
man to and from the scene of the crime
and can give you incontestable proof of

go on; am listening" Mr. Barnes
sat down ON chair near him. Burrows
forthwith entered into minute and de-
tailed account of the facts from which
he had reached the conclusion which he
had just so positively asserted. During
the narration Mr.. Barnes made abso-
'lutely no comment, and when Burrows
reached the end of his story he was inn
patient to know what would be said.
He already saw that he would not re-
ceive the praise which he considered
was due to his efforts. Mr. Barnes pom
dered over the Situation for few mo-
ments and then said:
"Do you realize what you have done,
Mr.. Burrows?" Burrows did not like to
have Mr. Barnes call him Mr. Bur
rows, for he knew at once now that Mr..
Barnes was angry, and, determined as
he had been to pursue this examination
alone, he had by no means counted on
a quarrel. Therefore in troubled tone
he answered:
DO realize what / have done? Nc
harm, l hope?"
"You have been the means Of fixing
terrible imputation ON the character
of girl who is the pride of this coun
ty."

Burrows smiled as he thought to himself,
"MGrUeL led"

all cost of time or trouble. / should
have burned the satchel with them,
building large log fire and putting
it with its contents on top of the logs.
In this way, by the time the fire had
destroyed the satchel, the clothes would
be dry enough to burn. Then l should
have raked out and thrown away the
ashes, point which would not strike

least, it seems that it seldom does. /

place"
Reaching this point in his reasoning
he went to the chimney and found some
ashes. He carefully brushed the pile on
to piece of newspaper, which he took
from his overcoat pocket. This done, he
laid the whole ON the floor near the
window, and then, with piece OF
stick. gradually moved the soft ashes
from the center to the side. As he did
this he was careful to examine every
particle, searching for anything that
may have escaped combustion. 1t was
not long before his patience was re-
warded, for first few iron buttons
and then several other pieces of iron OF
metal of some kind were separated from
the debris The buttons, of course,
proved that something more than an or.

hearth, and 1t was but fair to suppos
that clothing hid been burned. TIL,
other things, however, puzzled hin
awhile, for, though not entirely destroy
ed, he still found it hard to tell exactly
what they were. After some thought hi
concluded that the majority of the met
al had originally belonged to the frame
work of the satchel. One piece still re-
manned to be accounted for THIS was
bit of wire. Burrows was almost on the
point OF throwing this away, as unim.
portant, when it suddenly occurred tc
him that it must be all that was left OF
the false whiskers There was nothing
more that he could make out of the ash
es; still he carefully wrapped all up
and placed the package in small
satchel, which he had brought with
him. Burrows smiled as he thought to
himself: Marvel lied when he said the
locket was still in his pocket. There is
no trace of it here, so it is evident that
the one found was the same which he
had with him that night.
Burrows was now anxious to find the
pistol. He recollected that the squire
had told of the pistol which Marvel had
left at the house, and as he knew that it
had not been found he deemed it prob
able that it was the weapon used in the
murder. This was not so readily reason
ed out as the other matter, for, as pis-
toll could not be burned, it must be hid
den, and as there was no way of guess
ing the hiding place there was but one
course open to him-namely, to hunt
This he did as thoroughly as Mr.
Barnes had taught him to do, and when
he went down stairs again he felt al
most sure that the weapon had not been
concealed above. He was just as thor
ough in going over the rooms on the
lower floor and finally reached the kitch-
en- without having found it. He had
not looked long in this place, however,
before he noticed that the tiles in front
of the stove had been disturbed. One of
the stones had been SO poorly replaced
that Burrows muttered to himself, "He
must have wanted this to be found"
Removing it, he disclosed hole below,
in which was pistol. He took this out,
and another object attracted his atten-
ton. This proved to be a small piece of
silver plated metal, and closer scrutiny
revealed the fact that name was en-
graved thereon. This name was "John
Lewis"
Better and better" thought the de-
tective How nicely the precautions of
a criminal, as usual, serve to convict
him. This is plate which he wrenched
from the satchel, and the name proves
that he got that at the farm. 1 am not
any longer that he did not dis
turb any of his own people that night,
for he did not go home at all. He OBJ
tanned a change at the house of his vic
tim. He is cool hand, to kill man
and then wear his clothing away from
the scene of his crime"
Burrows now turned his attention to
the pistol, and at once noticed that
there were three empty chambers. He
concluded from this that Marvel must
have fired both shots found in the body.
Still looking at the weapon, he noticed
that name was engraved ON the stock.
He approached the window for more
light and read, walter Marvel" At
this moment the door was opened and

and now, since cannot turn you from
your folly, which in this case will pos
sibly De crime, must resort to COM
pulsioh. and again, as your superior,
order you to abandon your project"
"And / refuse, returned Burrows
hotly.
every we'll / will give you one
more chance. Whatever little ability as
detective you may have you have i'm
bibed most of your best methods from
association with me. Let me tell you
that if you do not obey me in this in
stance you must never expect any as
sistance or advice from me again. More
over, swear TO find the guilty man and
to right the wrong which you will have
done to two innocent people. Act as
you have said you will, and you will
live to rue the day when you quarreled
with Jack Barnes.
Burrows regretted the turn of events,
but he felt too sure of his position to
give it up. He Thought Mr.. Barnes
was actuated 10 some extent by jeal-
ousy, and that he would find it difficult
to accomplish all that he threatened.
He had no pity for Marvel, for he be-
lieved him to be tine guilty man, and so
he determined to 60 at once TO Dover
with his new evidence In reply to Mr..
Barnes he said:
