CHAPTER K.

Meanwhile, in a small room of the
court house. a still more serious con-
versation was in progress. DIR. Talbot,
Mr. Fenton and a certain able lawyer
in town by the name of Harvey, We're
in close discussion. The latter had
broken the silence of years, and was
telling what he knew of Mrs. Webb's
affairs.
He was a shrewd man, of unblen-
ished reputation. When called upon to
talk, he talked well, but he much pre-
ferred listening, and was, as now APP
pcared, the safest repository of secrets
to be found in all that region. He had
been married three times, and could
still count thirteen children around his
board one reason, perhaps, why he
had learned to cultivate silence to such
a. degree. Happily, the time had come
for him to talk, and he talked. This is
what he said:
Some fifteen years ago, Philemon
Webb came to me with a small sum of
money which he said he wished to have
me invest for his wife. 1t was the
fruit of a small speculation of his and
he wanted it given Internationally to
her without her knowledge or that of
the netghbors. ] accordingly made out
a deed of gift, which he signed with
joyful alacrity, and then after due
thought and careful investigation I put
the money into a new enterprise then
being started in Boston. 1t was the
best stroke of business / ever did in
my life. At the end of a year it paid
double, and after five had rolled away
the accumulated interest had reached
such a sum that both Philemon and
myself thought it wisest to let her
know what she was worth and what
was being done with the money l was
in hopes it would lead her to make
some change in her mode of living,
which seemed to me out of keeping
with her appearance and mental quail

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAP
TIERS

Just after a ball at the Sutherland
mansion, Agatha Webb and her servant
are found dead, and Philemon Webb. Aga
tha's husband. who for years has been
growing demented. is discovered asleep
at the dinner table. A trace of blood on
his sleeve points to him as the murderer
Mr.. Sutherland and the local marshal,
Fenton, investigate. Agatha Webb is
known to but few as a rich woman. The
key TO her money-drawer is found CLUTCH
ed in her hand Young Sutherland is not
to be found, and Miss Page. the niece of
Sutherlands housekeeper. persists in re-
naming about the Webb premises and
discovers blood on the grass. The money
drawer is found to be empty and robbery
IS added to the mystery. Frederick Suth-
erland, a hayward youth. calls his father
TO witness his determination to be a bet
ter man and promises not to marry Miss
Page, by whom he has been fascinated
Miss Page tells Frederick that she fol-
lowed him the night of the murder and
knew where he had secreted a thousand
dollars. She gives him a week to decide
whether to marry her or be proclaimed
as the murderer of Agatha Webb

ANOTHER NOTICE TO QUIT.

Mr.. Bryan Is determined 10 keep out Of
the Democratic party. as now organizeo'
ali persons who disbelieve in the free
coinage OF silver. He has time and again
made the assertion that none except
free-silver believers was wanted and ne
now reiterates in public letter that the
gold Democrats shall not return except
they come in sack-cloth and ashes. re-
pentng and recanting
We have no quarrel with Mr.. Bryan
on this score He knows what he Is
about. He knows that the only hope for
him is for the Democratic party to re-
affirm the platform OF 1896 and in order
10 accomplish this II IS necessary to ex-
cudc from the party councils all persons
except such as honestly believe In the
teachings Of that instrument. Now If
that Is TO be the programme, If the
Democratic party is again TO declare in
national convention for the free and un-
limited collage Of silver at the ratio OF
1s 10 and make that the main plank in
the platform. the leading issue In the
campaign. then no gold Democrat has
any business in that party except he re-
pent and recant
Mr.. Bryan is right. No man should FOR
party regularity's sake stultify himself
and we are not surprised that tho free
silver leader should be suspicious Of those
who declare that they are opposed TO the
free coinage of silver and yet desire TO
affiliate with the Chicago organization
unfolding its doctrines and supporting
its nominee

Almost every impartial newspaper that
has referred to the recent election in
Chicago has proclaimed that the result
was a great victory for the Independent
voter. A strong effort was made to drag
national questions into the contest but
the people would not have it. They
knew that the issue involved I'm that
election was purely and solely tho ques-
ton of good local government and they
would not be switched of from the main
issue by MIR Ahgeid and other members
Of the National Democratic Committee.
They liked Mr.. carter Harrsons admin
istration and they stood by him in the
fight that he was making against the
machine. Party lines were largely ignor-
ed Men did not ask themselves how they
would vote in the next Presidential cleo
ton They addressed themselves TO the
question Of the hour and without refer
ence to any national question, without
reference to past party utilization. They
voted for the man who. in their opinion,
would give them the best administration
of local affairs.
We believe that the Independent voter
is getting TO be more and more a factor
in all elections-natonal. state and local.
Americans are a thinking people. a con-
scientious people. and every year the list
OF those who follow their own convic-
tons. regardless of party dictum. grows
larger. But this is peculiarly true OF
municipalities. city residents have learn
ed that a municipal corporation is largely
a business affair and that the voters are
as so many stockholders. They have seen
how public money has been wasted by
the ring politicians: they have seen the
evils OF conducting their municipal af-
fairs by the rule of politics rather than
by the rule OF business. and they have
determined that hereafter they will vote
for those men and for those measures that
will best subservc the interests Of the
corporation and the individual stock
holder. rather than the interests OF the
good fellows who live on govei nnent pap.
1t Is an encouraging sign of the times.
T,ere should be no question OF State or
national politics in municipal contest
any more than such questions should
figure In the election of a board OF direc-
tors OF any private corporation, for every
citizen OF city, whether he be a prop
erty-owner OF wage-earner who rents
property. IS interested in having a good
local government economically admins
tered. and this result Is TO be achieved
by discarding partisan politics and vot-
ing always for the best men and meas
ures.

that the handling OF raw cotton In Mem

such doubt with reference to the hama

There is no danger Of a war with GER
