SWEATBOX QUESTIONS
DRAW FEW FACTS FROM BUTLER
KELLER
The Former Servant Sticks Stoutly tt
the Story That Ketcham Married
Mrs. Wallace

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Joseph Keller.
butler, valet and confidential man in
the Wallace-Ketcham household, and
who has recently become notable fig
ure in the Ketcham mystery. was put in
the sweat box" for two hours late last
night by Police Captain Homer. About
midnight Keller was released on de-
mand of Attorney Hanson, who agreed
to produce the butler if the police should
require him.
Captain Homer does not believe Keller
has told all he knows of the Ketcham
case. His story of the trip to Milwau-
kee and the subsequent marriage of
Ketcham to Mrs. Wallace, the Captain
still considers incomplete.
In the "sweat box" Keller was ques-
toned and cross-examined. During
this interview Keller made the following
written statement:
my name is Joseph Keller. I have
been employed by Mrs. Wallace for
over a year. l have known Mr.. John B.
Ketcham for nearly year. On Sep
tember "a I accompanied Mrs. Wallace
and MIR. Ketcham to Milwaukee. We
stopped at the Manhattan Hotel. We
arrived in Milwaukee about o'clock at
night. About o'clock the next morn
ing Mrs. Wallace and Mr.. Ketcham
went out for drive. They returned
about o'clock, and Ketcham laughed
when he met me in the hotel office, and
told me that he had just got married to
Mrs. Wallace. We all came home to-
gether that same afternoon. Over ten
strangers have stopped at the house
within the last thirty days. Mrs. Wal
lace and Mr.. Ketcham have been living
together as man and wife for nearly a
year, but the mail was always addressed
to Mrs. Wallace. About the first of Oc-
tober Ketcham came to me and told ME
he mad made his will and asked me to
sign it. I did so in the presence of him
self and Mrs. Wallace. Mrs. Toney, a
friend Of Mrs. Ketcham, was the only
other person present"
When seen by a reporter after leaving
the sweat box" Keller repeated the
substance of his statement. He denied
he had represented Ketcham in the mar
riage ceremony at Milwaukee, and in
sisted that Ketcham was the BRIDE
groom.
1t is said ex-States Attorney Jacob
Kern has been retained to defend Keller.

CHAPTER XVIII.

For two or three days Lord Arleigh
saw nothing of the beautiful and mys-
FERROUS girl with whom he had fallen so
deeply in love. Angela had been most
careful in her movements. and she no
longer placed any reliance on Mrs. Bow
ems declaration that his lordship had gone
out and would not return until late. Such
words were always inaccurate, for he
always returned before the time appoint
ed, and then Angela was sure to see him.
She hardly knew herself how much she
had grown to care for him.
They met one morningin thclcafy slades
of Brantome Wood. Angela had gone
thither II day to see the beeches for
which it was celebrated, and one in par
%ticular, called the Brantome Beech, sup
posed to be the largest of it's kind in the
country-a magnificent tree that stood
alone in the enter of IL green plateau.
She sat down on the trunk of a fallen
tree that had been left there for a seat,
and was soon hard ut work. The strokes
of her pencil were almost magical, and
it was not long before the outlines of the
Brantome Beech were on her sketching-
board. She was thoroughly engrossed in
her work; there was nothing to disturb
her but the song Of the birds and the
hum Of the bees.
All at once. without the warning of
coming footsteps, a shadow fell ever the
grass and a voice startled her.

What Tranklin Accomplished.

Lord Jeffrey wrote of the American
inventor and philosopher, "He never
lost sight of common sense" Philip G.
Hubert, Jr.. in n sketch of Franklin in
his recent book, ~"Inventors," say
"Nothing in nature failed to interest
him." and n catalogue of his achieve
ments, showing his activity and re-
source, is conclusive proof of the truth
Of both statements: .
Franklin inspired and established the
Junto. the pleasantest and most useful
American club of which we have
Knowledge.
He founded the Philadelphia library,
parent of n thousand libraries, which
marked the beginning of an intellectual
movement of endless good to the whole
country.
He first turned to great account the
engine of advertising, indispensable in
all modern business.
He published Poor Richard," a rec
ord of homely wisdom, in such shape
that hundreds of thousands of readers
were made better and stronger by it.
He created the postoftice system of
America, and was the first champion

He invented the Franklin stove.

lie robbed thunder of it's terrors, and
lightning of some of its power to de.

He founded the American Philosophi.
cal Society, the first organization in
America of the friends of science.
He suggested the use of mineral
manulcs. introduced the basket willow,
promoted the early culture of silk, and
pointed out the advantages Of white
clothing in summer.
He measured the temperature of the
Gulf Stream. and discovered that
northeast storms may begin in the
southwest.
He pointed out the advantage Of
building ships i'll water-tight compart-
ments. taking the hint from the Chi
nese. and first urged the use of oil as n
means of Quieting dangerous seas.
Besides these great achievements,
accomplished largely as recreation
from his life-work as economist and
statesman, Benjamin Franklin helped
the whole race of inventors by a re-
mark that has been of i%ncalculable

dreamers the world over. When some
