what of that? He would not trouble
them nor would they have any motive
for injuring him." said Lem.
He could hear Mary rising, and the in
tense whisper with which she said to
her mother:
'"There is danger afoot. I will go out
there at once. They shall both explain
to me, as they value their lives"
Swift and noiseless as cloud shadow,
she went down the many flights Of stairs.
The streets were deserted. She overlook
street car after street car, and passed
them as if they were standing still. She
reached the iron gate and found it open,
lust as Paul Neville had. She fairly few
up the winding road under the trees, and,
reaching the door, she rang the bell con-
tinuously, till window was raised and
Cheatham called out, in frightened tones:
.Who is there?"
'T, Mary Cheathamw she replied.
"What do you want here at this time
of night, woman? I'll call the police"
81 want to see you and my brother
the man that calls himself Charles Car
penter. 1t is thought there has been a
murder committed here tonight Open!
open!'
Again she rang the bell, and beat upon
the door with her fists.
'Merciful heayens!" said Cheatham,
running to Carpenters room. II never
thought of this woman and her mother!
Get up, Charley, get up! Your insane sis
ter is at the door, and she swears there
has beer a murder"
"A murder?'' cried Carpenter, leaping
out OF bed.
He ran into the hall, painting, his face
livid and his teeth chattering with fear.
He was half asleep, and did not COM
prehend what Cheatham had said
"A murder? Who says there has been
murder? 1t is lie, hideous lie! There
has been no murder here-no murder that
we have anything to do with. Hark, the
bell! Who's ringing the bell, Cheatham
who's at the door? Answer me, man,
or will tear you to pieces
He seized Cheatham by the throat, and
shook him as a dog might rat, in his
anger and fear.
Don't. don't.' gasped Cheatham. 1T
is your sister! Listen! she is calling to
you. That's her voice.
Carpenter caught Cheafham by the arm
and dragged him to the lower hall. Here
he turned up the light and opened the
door. His self-controI and reckless dar-
ing had come back to him; but all his
force seemed but as reeds before 4 tor

with which he found himself confronted.

ed. Answer me at once-where's Paul
Nevillef'
ssPaul Nevillev' repeated Carpenter.
81 don't know him. / wasn't told to
take care of him, whoever he is"
why should you come bothering us
about this persona" interposed Cheat
ham, with weakly assumed indignation.
Gle came here this night; entered your
open gate. This is known In her earn
estness Mary accepted this as fact, in
addition to which she instinctively read
the men before her and saw that they
had lately seen the object of her search.
s'What have you done with him?''
WED have put him in jail if We knew
he was here" said Cheatham. What
right has he or any one else to enter our
grouHdsy
''Your grounds! Charles Carpenters
grourdsv' she said, with biting bitterness.
'.The Hermann property seems to be
owned jointly by murderers and thieves!
How long do you think you will be left in
peaceful possession? Find me Paul
Neville before the sun rises, or / and my
mother will forget, renounce and trample
under foot the ties Of blood that bind us
to this wretch, and hand him over to
justice"
She pointed her finger at Charles Car
penter, and he staggered back as if her
hand held a pistol.
'And you''-she turned to Cheathan-

trait-obey me in this, or take the conse-
quences"'
She turned to leave, but Carpenter, as
if struck with a sudden resolve, called to
her to wait" He ran upstairs and came
back in minute with pistol in his
hand, determined to destroy her.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Gone, gomez replied .Cheatham.

'Gone?"
Lem Dodd was awake the following
morning by daylight. As he had not un-
dressed it Gid not take him long to make
his toilet. He found Mrs. Munroe up,
and Mary, cooking paler with excitement
and want os rest, sitting beside the stove.

''None." replied Mary, without looking
up. II fear he is Dead"

you pledge me your honor as man not
to reveal it, until 1 give you leave?
II give that pledge unhesitatingly," re-
piled Lem, who had professional love Of
mysteries.
Mary began the story Of her own life,
and as she related it she brought in her

CHAPTER XVI.

Lem Dodd sat up till midnight, waiting
for Paul Neville. He tried to shorten the
time by reading, but the most interesting
book in the world would not have fasten-
ed his attention that night. Finally he
raped at Mrs. Munroe's door and asked:
do you feel pretty sure that Mr..
Neville hasn't come home yet?"
Why" replied the old woman, ''if he
was to come home you'd be the first to
know it."
''Where did he go?''
'He said he would walk out and take
look at the Hermann place by moon
light. He was feeling particularly blue,
and he imagined the sight would bright
en- him up bit. He said he would be
back before ten, and now it is midnight"
'Do you Think asked Mary, that he
would be so rash as to enter the
grounds?'

went on, the plot thickened and the In
terest deepened," Lem said, whep sub
sequently speaking about this narrative.
She kept nothing back, not even the mis-
takes of her own life, and they were not
such as to cause disrespect for her. Step
by step she told the story until at length
Lem Dodd saw the identity of Charles
Carpenter and Charles G. Bolton.

Loug-Spun Sidewalk Case Decided
Kenosha Gets No Street Railway
Irish Heir Missing Organize Against
Horse Thieves-Two Miners in Danger.

After five years of courts and Jurles,
the celebrated Parker sidewalk case is at
an end, with the village of Galesvllle
triumphant. The case was begun ABOUT
five years ago, when Nj. b. Parker
property owner, moved his fence some
twelve feet into the street and Dullt u
sidewalk accordingly. Parker CLAIMED
that this was the correct line OF the
street, basing his claim upon resurVey'
but none of the other property owners
in the block agreed with him, but never
theless the jog in the street renamed Tor
nearly year. Then the street commls-
sioner, upon order of the village board,
removed the fence and sidewalk back to
their old position. Parker brought suit
for damages and succeeded III recovering
a nominal sum, and Immediately replaced
his fence and walk in the street. Inc
village commenced second action
against Parker, which in due time got
into the Circuit Court, and Mp. Parker
again succeeded in annulling the pro-
ceedings upon a technicality. A thlfd
action was commenced last spring IN
justice court, which gave judgment Tor
the village. Parker appealed to the CIR
cult Court and again met with an ad-
verse decision. An appeal to the SUI
preme Court was taken, and in an opin-
ion handed down the judgment Of the
Circuit Court was affirmed. The case
has cost the village over $1,000.
Can't Find the Heir.
Where is Patrick Fagen? This is the
question that is puzzling the police of
Kenosha and other cities in southern
Wisconsin. Fagen two months ago was
simply plain Irish workman, but to-day
the knowledge Of his whereabouts would
be worth great deal to several after
neys in Chicago, who are seeking to set
tle large estate in Ireland to which the
missing workman is one Of the two sur
viving heirs. A little over eight months
ago Fagen drifted into Kenosha, weary
and footsore. He was without clothing
and food and, after being about the city
for several days, he secured work at one
of the factories. He was faithful
workman until two months ago, when he
suddenly disappeared, and since that
time no trace of him can be found.
