my MURDERER.

nj ELLIE had a fancy for Some fresh
IN eggs for supper that evening, and
she seemed disinclintd to venture
out, offered to go for them. We were
all alone in the house, for father and
mother had gone to the country: for
few days, and Tom, OF course, was
away at the office.
When opened the door to go out
found Ali Sin, our Chinese washer
man, standing on the door mat He
could speak ITO English, so L did not
waste any words on him, but just mo-
toned him to go upstairs; he would
find Nellie there, l thought, and she
could give him the clothes. l did not
want the bother OF going back. Il did
not call out to tell Nellie he was going
up; | did not think it necessary.
must have been gone about three
quarters of all hour, for the little dairy
where we got the fresh eggs was four
long: blocks away, and | stayed awhile
talking to the young girl who waited
on me. It. was getting dusk when 1
reached our door, and rene Der be-
ing surprised when Hooked up at the
transom to see that the hall lamp was
nlighted-Netlie had such horror OF
darkness. l was even more surprised
when | opened the door to see All Sin
disappear down the passage and enter
the kitchen-the kitchen, dining-room
and Toms room are the only rooms
on the first floor. Did | only imagine
it, or was there something furtive in
the Mongolian's movements. .ss."E
Bah, how fanciful l am getting." |
thought. Nellie has told him to go in
there to get the soiled kitchen towels
l lighted the hall lamp, left the eggs
on the table and ran up the stairs.
When | reached the landing l saw
something which made me so faint that
1 had to lean against the, banister for
support. ga. ''.f .~s0: SsS''@ -re'.'a>s
SO that you will quite understand the
position in which found myself, l will
describe our upperDhall and the situa-
ton of the rooms. Directly opposite
the landing was a window overlooking
the back yard; the bedroom Nellie and
/ occupied together was on the left
side, the door opening near the head
of the stairs; mothers room and the
parlor were in the front, passage
leading to them from the head OF the
stairs. The hall was tloored with white
marble-a curious fancy of my fathers.
In front OF each door was a thick
woolly red mat. Now, all the rooms
were closed, and trickling from under
the doors of our room was thin red
stream, which formed great pool, and
which, though it had seemed so dark
downstairs, was here quite discernible
in the half light which came from the
hall window.
In flash saw it all. The Chinaman
had killed my sister; it was her life
blood which trickled from the door and
lay in that CHASTITY pool on the white

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter

Birmingham, August 29.-The bears had an inning today and scored a victory. Their main batteries were yellow fever in Texas, cutting freight and passenger rates in the northwest and the general desire by those who closed out last week to see a decline to re-purchase. A sudden glance at the results of the days battle would seem as if great declines had been accom- plished but after a glance at the score card only reactions of from F to per cent. from Saturdays close are discovered. Although stocks are now passing into stronger hands, it might be good policy to await developments. If the yellow fever scare should be serious, some further tenn porary declines would follow. Tobacco and Sugar were sold on rumors adverse to both selling this class of stocks are attended with considerable hazard at the present time.

 Liverpool cables were firm; demand fair Morning kilograms were full of adverse re- ports from different sections, Louisiana re- porting worms in various sections, but the general indications favor good yield The opening was fairly strong, with far months the stronger owing to the ringing up of September and purchasing of January by some parties. The close was dull, but strong, with January the highest point of the day.

Paine, Murphy < Co.'S Grain Letter

Birming ham, August 29.-The strength in todays market was more the result of the Hungarian government statistical reports concerning a shortage in the worlds crop from figures estimated previously. Liver pool early cables advanced F on this news, but closed practically unchanged from the opening, F above Saturdays close. The early buying here was by the large short interest and prices advanced 1 cent to 65. Considerable wheat was sold around this price against call privileges, but after de- clining to opening prices, there seemed renewed buying and the market closed firm 4 cent above Saturdays close. Cash wheat shows strength which is helping, and while fluctuations are marrow, indlca- tions point to some further advance. Pro visions ignored Mexican yellow fever and advanced. There seems to be scarcity of rib offerings.
