tell about the many years I've been De
hownst TO the way Dick Willmarth
robbed Abner Hill, an how I've ken
the paper they draw'd up an trusted wild
me, an how I've made Dick come down
wild it, an all that. Sure 1 might as
well sind for the praste at once an lie
down in me coffin"
If you give up that paper and make
Iull concession to me now, will en-
gage to protect you from prosecution in
that affair and defend you if you are
suspected OF planning the murder, or
should better say when you are arrested,
Tor OF course you understand you are
suspected now.
III take me Bible oath 1 know no
more about it than the child unborn"
well, we won't discuss that now.
Perhaps L can do good deal toward di-
verting suspicion from you anyway.
And l think could even keep you from
being called to the witness stand, or if
you have to appear there, can have it so
arranged that you will not be asked to
tell anything more than that you had
some business with Mr. Willmarth, ex-
pected to see him last night, and he did
not come. But you must first clear
yourself TO mcknight.
81 don't want to give up the paper -
If you don't, will have it dragged
out OF your possession in court, and
you'll never draw breath outside Of
prison again as long as you live. Take
your choice. You can't get away, you
know, for you are watched every min
ute by the police. and the first step you
take to escape will be the signal for
your arrest.
"Oh, sir. are they really watchin
me?"
Yes, upon my honor. I met a man
at the foot Of the stairs whom I knew
to be an officer in plain clothes, and
there are others in the neighborhood

"And now," said John Latham to
himself as he descended the stairs from
Mr.. McCaffrey's apartments, "for a call
ON Mrs. Hail.
A distant church clock as he reached
the street sounded the midnight hour,
and the drowsy driver of the hack, when
told to "get over on the east side and
up in Harlem as quickly as possible, :"
demurred, growing that his horses
were tired out. Promise Of double fare
quickly dispelled his commiseration for
his beasts, however, and the vehicle set
off at rafting pace, carrying probably
the happiest and most exultant lover it
had ever held. But the roundabout way
was long, and the streets in many
places execrable-as New Workers are
accustomed to having their thorough
fares-so that the clock struck again be-
fore John reached bis destination.

now, you will be puton the witnessstand,
whether it kills you or not, and once
there I should not wonder if you would
have to answer good many ugly ques-
tions about other things than the Hall
affair. Your record has good many
shady spots in it. +"
sob, indeed, sir, there are none,"
protested the old man in evident alarm
''Sure, me fo4fe mas been as innocent an
free from harrum as a baby's, barrin
this one little matter that allowed
meself to be persuaded into sayin nothin
about until now. But, for the love of
heaven, sir, don't set the Layers on me.
I'm only poor old man, an they'd rat
tie me SO it'd be the death av me-"
"Give up the paper then and con-
fess."
81 will, sir; 1 will. Oh, indeed, ]
will. The Lord knows 1 always meant
to do right by Mrs. Hall. She's dacirt
woman, sir. I'll give up the paper. But
you must keep me from har1um.
~ So eventually he did give up the long
concealed agreement between Abner G..
Hall and h!s false friend, establishing
at least the moral justice Of the widows
claims, upon which the name of Michael
Mccartney appeared as witnees. And he
also dictated detailed confession OF
the UNANIMOUSLY treacherous transaction,
which John Latham wrote out and had
him sign, though he trembled so that
his signature was almost illegible. Kit
ty and her father were also required to
affix their signatures to the document
as witnesses. The girl had learned In
the public school to write her name

will next deliver his inaugural address.
This evening there will he an informal
reception at the capitol by the Govern
or and Mrs. Mount, assisted by Mrs
Nye and Mrs. Haggard There is some
criticism because of the deviation from
the old custom in Indiana, where the
governor and lieutenant governor were
inaugurated on the same platform and
at the same time. This plan was
changed to conform with the govern
ment method in installing Il vice presi-
dent and president. The reception this
evening will not be a full dress affair,
Governor Mount having peremptorily
declined to have any frills marking his

Lovers in Danger.

We take the following from an exchange
and publish 1t for what it is worth: A man
who goes to see girl twice a week and
takes her to places is legally engaged to her,
according to recent decision, whether he
says anything to her about marriage or not,
aud she could recover suit for breach OF
promise. 1t is hoped that the girls will take
advantage of this decision and force the
young men to marry them. Young men
have habit of loafiDg about a girls house
for years and then drifting off without say
ing word about marriage, and while a
young man is loafng around girls house
he probably keeps some one away who
would talk business.
