this has made me very anxious about
George. Inever know what this mad
ness of his may impel him to do. Even
his not being at home last night has
alarmed me, though once l should not
have thought anything about it. Iwon-

At this moment there was sound of
hurried footsteps outside the door,
which was abruptly opened, and Mr..
Fenton appeared, holding mornings
newspaper in his hand. He was in q
state Of great excitement and did not
seem to notice my presence at all.

woman

"She is Harriet Staples!"

"Here it is. Read for yourself. ;"
Mabel took the paper from him in
ilent horror, and then lie turned to me.
BRETT" he said, ''it is most ex-
traordinary that you were mixed up in
this affair. There is no need to keep the
matter from you now. The woman who
has been murdered was q fame Of
Georges. The lad was infatuated with
her. Now thank God that is at an
end. But how did the poor wretch come
by her death? What were You doing
there? Why were you arrested?''
The old man gasped out his words in
, whirl of excitement. These questions
were most natural under the circum-
stances, but as they were hurled at me
I again. felt my equivocal position.
We're ! to tell him all I knew, just as
it happened, should expose the Grim
inality of his own son-Mabel's brother
and yet did I hesitate I imperiled my
own reputation.
All the answers I had carefully pre-.
pared for these and kindred questions
vanished from my mind and left it q
perfect blank. I felt that the old man
was waiting for my reply, yet I could
not speak, and all the while my atten-
ton was rooted elsewhere on one Of
those trivialities that stand out incon.
gruously on the most momentous ocoa-
sions. As I looked at Mr.. Fenton and
beyond him my eye was caught by the
perpendicular lines on the wall paper.
Between two Of the lines fly was
crawling along the center with absolute
precision. All the while, when I ought
to have been collecting my thoughts for
some sort of an excuse to my prospective
father-in-law, Il was wondering to which
side the fly would eventually moline,
but on it went with unerrlng PERCUSSION

me. The silence grew in the room, and
at last Mr.. Fenton did not choose to
wait longer for his answer. He began
to tap the carpet with his foot, and
then he said impatiently:
"Well?"
II think it is going a little to the
left" said mechanically.
"What?"
He was getting indignant now, and
mechanically / pulled myself together
and told him what I had already said
at the police station, hiding just az

FOUNDING OF ALEXANDRIA |.
Virginia City Celebrates One Hundred
 and Fiftieth Birthday

Alexandria, Va, October 12.-The found- ing of the city of Alexandria 150 years ago was celebrated today with an elaborate outdoor display. The weather was de- lightful, and crowds of visitors from Wash ington and the surrounding country thronged the streets. The bunting and the national flag adorned all the business houses and private residences. The boom- ing of a national salute from the United States war vessels Machias and Dolphin, anchored in the harbor at noon, accom- panied by shrieking of steam whistles, the ringing of innumerable bells and the cheers of the people, marked the formal opening of the celebration. The principal event was the street pageant in the after noon, which was made up of soldiers, civic societies and long line of floats, one of which was designed to reproduce as nearly hs possible the carriage in which General Washington and his wife set out from Mount Vernon for New York on the occa- sion of General Washington's inauguration as first president. The exercises closed with the illumination of the court of honor and a masquerade procession.

ENGLISH PAPERS
 ON SAMOAN AFFAIRS Decision of Commissioners is a
 Serious Statement. COMES FROM GOOD SOURCE So Many Plans Have Mlscarried That the Arrangement Recommended
 May Turn Out Well-Hoped ak
 It Will Stand Strain.
COMES FROM GOOD SOURCE

London, October 13-The Times this
 port of the Samoan commissioners publish
 ed yesterday says:
 ''The decision in favor of Q government
 by ono power is a very serious statement,
 emanating from such a source, but 1t might
 be owned that stroilg evidence is adduced
 in support of It. It is not all easy, however,
 to see how that ideal object is to be att
 tained. We can do nothing that will in
 any way impair the excellent relations we
 have so easily maintained with the Ameri-
 cans.
 We cannot assent to any scheme inju- rious to our commerce in the islands and we cannot hurt the independent opinion of our Australian colonies or weaken our na- | val position in the Pacific. If such a meas ure of substantial compensation could be | found for us among German possessions | that part of the world as would secure | these objects to us, there seems no reason why We should not be ready to negotiate on the whole question: but it must be on the du ut des principle"
 The Standard says: 'So many we'll laid schemes have miscarried that the make shift arrangement the report recommends may perhaps turn out we'll, but the doubt intrudes whether any state can remain dis interested when once 1t has an interest In the strife provoking soil of Samoa. As the scneme however, is based on a system which worked we'll in the Fijis there is further ground to hope that 1t will stand the strain of trial.
