STRONG EVIDENCE.

Business took me one day to Fall
River, Mass, and detained me there
until into the evening. It was nearly
time for the departure Of the night
boat to New York when I started down
the steep street that led to the dock.
There were one too many street
lamps, the night was bitter cold and
nobody except myself seemed to be
stirring, but as 1 neared the bottom
ahead of me. Almost at the moment
when I caught sight of them l saw
the woman fall and the man walk rap
idly away. l ran toward the woman
who had fallen. 1t was so dark that 1t
was impossible for me to see what she
was like.
Are you hurt?" 1 asked. Receiving
no reply, l concluded the man had
struck her senseless. At that moment
l heard the ringing of a steamer bell
and l knew it must be the signal of de-
parture. 1t was necessary that l should
catch the boat. l hesitated for a
moment, then 1 determined to hurry

missed my footing and fell heavily on
the deck, striking my forehead with
terrific force against one of the seats.
When l came to myself I was lying in
a cabin-the captains, as I afterward
discovered. There was a murmur of
voices. For a time I was so confused
that l could distinguish nothing that
they said. Presently things began to
arrange themselves in my brain and l
remembered the accident. The boat

ton for my W lawyer, who arrived
speedily and, after an interview with
me, proceeded to put my case to the
authorities. He gave them a plain
statement of facts.
Soon after I had been practically
trapped into a marriage with this ad-
venturess, who. when I knew her,
called herself Margaret Colver, I dis
covered that she had a husband living
in South America young man who
had committed some offense which
made 1t impossible for him to return
to this country. This made her course
with regard to me easy. She knew
that under no circumstances would her
husband allow himself to be drawn
into any proceedings taken against her
for bigamy. I thought of commencing
proceedings for nullity of marriage,
but there was the difficulty of getting
the absent husbands evidence, and
any amount of expense in the way. I
determined to let the matter waite and
contented myself for the time being
with requesting her to quit my root
and drop my name.
She went, declaring that she would
be even with me, and l saw no more
of her. Free, and having no desire to
marry again, I hesitated to go through
the unpleasantness of a public trial,
and I let the fact that I had married
a bigamous adventurous practically eff
face itself from my memory.
The three weeks which interviewed
before Margaret Colver-she called
herself Margaret Tyrrel in her deposit
able to appear against me.
had not been wasted by my lawyer, but
he had failed to find any trace of the
woman having been at any hotel in
a River with the man who was, as
she knew, the real criminal.
Margaret Colver swore that I had
met her that night as she was on her
way to the steamer, and that after a
fierce quarrel between us, in which she
had demanded money because I had
stopped her allowance, I had stabbed
her.
All my denials, all my counter
charges against her, were in vain. The
court regarded my case, I could see,
as fully proved. But suddenly an Of
ticer came into court and spoke to the
presiding judge.
The next moment a witness, at the
judges instance, stepped forward and
in answer to i~nterrogations said that
he was the proprietor of a hotel at
New Bedford. He had read the case in
the papers. He had since recognized
the woman. She had left his hotel on
the day preceding the crime with her
husband, a MI. Colver. They had been
living together there for the past
month. They had seemed always to
be %quarreling. They had taken the
train for Fall River together. The
man at the time had with him a Mexi-
can dagger. The landlord had seen it
in Lis possession. The doctor had de-
clare1 the woman had received a dag
ger wound.
CT This evidence and the eloquent plea
of my lawyer resulted in a verdict of
mot guilty." I was released at once.
therefore. and have since been in un-
disturbed liberty, but the memory of
the affair is a terrible nightmare to
me, especially as Margaret Colver is
still alive somewhere. When will we
meet next? And what new trap will
she or fate, or both together, devise
for my undoing?

wight, sir. Take my arm"
He helped me to shore, and, as I was
feeling very shaky, l accepted his sug-
gestion that I take a cab.
Fifth Avenue hotel" said I, getting
In.
"All right" he said, and got in with
me. I was surprised, but too weak to
SAY 30. I lay back and closed my eyes.
When the cab stopped I saw that 1 was
in an unfamiliar place, but I shortly
identified it as police headquarters,
Mulberry street. I asked what was the
matter, and for reply the policeman
conducted me in to the building, where
presently the chief of police himself
confronted me.
"You are arrested" said he, ION a
Geographic request from the authori-
ties of Fall River, and we shall detain
you till a Massachusetts, officer arrives
to move for your extradition."
For the first time then I remembered
the woman whom I had seen knocked
down. I told my story, and the chief
seemed to believe it, but he insisted
that I must remain under arrest. There
was no help for it, and I must admit
that I was we'll cared for by a police
surgeon until the officer from Massa-
.chusetts arrived. Meantime I had
sent for business friends, arranged my
affairs. and decided to waive extradi-
ton for the purpose of going back to
Fall River at the earliest moment.
The woman had not been killed, and
the quickest way out Of my scrape
seemed to be to face her and get her
acknowledgment that l was not the
man who had struck her.
Accordingly, that very afternoon I
went to Fall River by train. accom-
panied, of course, by the Massachusetts,
officer. We proceeded directly to the
hospital and so to the ward where my
supposed victim was lying.
I stepped up to the bedside. and the
officer addressed the patient.
Madam, we have brought some one
to see you. Will you say If this is the
man who attacked you?"
The woman's face was toward the
wall and away from us. AS the officer
spoke she turned around with an effort.
being evidently weak, and our eyes
met. I gave a cry Of establishment and
started back. A mad look of revenge.
hatred and triumph came into the
wounded woman's face.
"Is this the man who stabbed your"
repeated the oficer, slowly.
..Yes. that il the man."
speechless with horror, I remained
rooted to the spot.
The woman whom I had see at
tacked-the woman by whose side I
had knelt in the darkness-was the
woman whom six years previously I
had married.
"vvhat is he to you, MADAME
stranger" inquired the ofacer.
mo. he Is my husband"
"Ah!" said the oficer. and half an
hour afterward I was safely under lock
and key in q prison cell.

MORE TROOPS FOR CHINA
ENGLAND'S FOURTH INDIAl
BRIGADE.
German Troops at Shanghai will be
CHARTERED adjoining Ii Hung Chang's
Residence.

LONDON, September Ga a. m.-Sir
Alfred Gaselee's dispatch, which shows
that the situation in Picking was un-
changed on August 18th, is the only Chi
nese news this morning. The cancella-
ton of the order holding back the
Fourth Indian Brigade is regarded as
important. 1t shows that whatever the
outcome of the Russian policy the Brit
ish Government is determined to have
sufficient troops on the spot adequately
to protect British interests.
Considerable significance is attached
to the statement by the Journal de St.
Petersburg as possibly meaning a modi-
fication of Russian policy. This paper
is the organ of the Russian Foreign Of
flee, it's editor being a councillor of
state. 1t is noted that, while the Jour
nal de st. Petersburg announces Rus
sian determination to maintain the
solidarity of the powers, it only mem
tions the withdrawal of the Ministers
and not the troops at Tien Tsin. 1t
is believed that the powers might agree
to such a modification of the original
Russian proposal.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times, discussing the situation, de-
clares that Japan has a strong DISPOSE
ton to act in harmony with the United
States in the Chinese question.
A Shanghai dispatch announces that
Thursday. Curiously enough they
will be located in barracks adjoining
the residence of Ii Hung Chang.
United States Consul Goodnow, ac.
cording to the Daily News, says there
never was any necessity for landing
troops at Shanghai.
The Daily Graphic's Moscow cores
pendent says: THE Moscow War Of
flee has made immense purchases of
furs, to be sent to the army clothing de-
partment, which is hurriedly preparing
winter kits showing that an extensive
winter campaign is expected"

Brigade has been ordered to proceed to
