CHAPTER XAVII.

"Mr. Stanmore, you forget yourself, y
said Paxton, and then to Judith Kredge:
go on, give us the proof OF this in
credible accusation of yours.
Il will tell you all, replied the wom-
an. "On the night of the murder / was
ill, and left my room at about o'clock
and went to Marion's room to procure
some medicine. To my surprise Marion
was not in her room. / heard sound
below, and looking over the rail at the
head of the stairs I saw Marion come
out of the Office with a pistol in one
hand and sheet of paper covered with
writing in the other. Watched her and
saw her steal up the stairs and enter her
room where she concealed the pistol in
the bottom Of her trunk, and it is there
now.
After that she came to my room, and
with pretended anxiety about her father
induced me to 60 down to the office,
you know why I think Marion Oakburn
is guilty
Thus concluded Judith Kredge.
at is all clever invention, no doubt,
and if there is pistol in Marion Oak
burns trunk l suspect you put it there,
said Paxton.
This is no more than might have
anticipated" answered Judith, with an
injured air.
While she was making her revela-
ton, Stuart Harland was intensely agi-
tated.
Thus far he had kept the secret that
he had seen Marion leave the office on
the night Of the murder, but now since the,
truth was revealed by the ianitors sis
ter he felt that it was his duty TO relatd
what he knew.

FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND.
Pit Boss Says Naked Lights Were Used i'm
Braznell Mine.

Brownsville, Pa, Especial. -Four more
bodies have been recovered from the BIaz-
nell mines, near this place, increasing to Ii
the number of persons known to have been
killed in Saturdays disaster. The bodies
have not been identified
The mine officials admit that two or more
bodies are still in tie mine. but representa-
tives of the SlayCnic Society have made
house-to-hOuse canvass and report that eight
II their number alone are in the wreck, and
how many others they do not know.
That naked lights and unlocked safety
lamps were used in the mine was officially
confirmed by Pis Boss Thomas Jones. who
made n statement to that effect. Mr.. Jones
was asked il it was true that on last Tuesday
morning he issued general order that the
miners could dispense with safety lamps.
Some Of the families OF the dead miners
are in suffering condition, and provisions are
being sent out by the Brownsville merchants,
as well as from Uniontown.
The fact that last Saturday was pay day at
the mine and that there were no empty
wagons to load accounts for many not going
into the mine that morning. Had the acci-
dent occurred any other day there would
have been more than 100 men in the mine,
and the result would have been even more
appalling than it is Some of the bodies were
removed 10 their homes and buried.
Little Albert Messc, who died after being
rescued. lived only few steps from the
SHAFT. He went to the window Saturday
morning and looked out, saying to bis
father: Papa, guess there is no use of me
going to work this morning, as there is no
loading"
The father said Albert had better go aud
help him feed the mules. They both started
out together and never returned.
The excitement caused 10y the terrible ac-
cident has driven all thought Of the holiday
festivities from the homes Of all who live in
the neighborhood. even those who have no
friends killed. The search for the bodies
still goes on.

one of the above passports a charge
is made of some kind.

Smade a discovery that was complete

discovery naturally occasioned him,

succeeded in eliciting the information
that the marked bank note had been re-

quently made purchases at the little
shop,
How is 1t thai you are able to say
positively from whom you received this
particular note?" asked the detective,
when the little old shop-kceper had told
him he had it from Marion.
Because when received it gave it
to my wife, and this morning / bor-
rowed it back from her. She will tell
you the same. Is it not so, Sarah?' an
swered the little old man.
Thus appealed to the aged shopkeep-

Paxton left the shop with his mind
burdened with this new source OF per-

"The case grows stronger and stronger
against Marion. When shall get at

he said in monologue.
Paxton was seated in his office that
same night when messenger boy called
and delivered no.e, which the detect
i've hastily read and as he perused it he
seemed to be somewhat excited.
This matter must be looked to at
once!" he exclaimed, and he hurriedly
left the office.
Paxton went directly to Judith Kredge,
whom he found at the apartments lately
tenanted by John Oakburn and his
daughter.
He had received surprising COM
munication from. the woman, but he sus-
pected plot, and he was on his guard
The detective was about to hear

many years ago was considered very

DELAGOA BAY.
Denial of Reports About the Partition OF

Denial of Reports About the Partition OF
Portuguese Territory.
London, (By Cable. In the absence OF
actual war news, the sensational newspapers
OF London, Paris and Berlin are publishing
all sorts OF wild rumors and stories, sug-
costing foreign complications and treaties
between Germany, Portugal and Great
Britain concerning Delagoa Bay, and pro-
yiding for the partition Of the Portuguese
colonies. These stories are also being cabled
to the United States in extenso.
SO many alleged disclosures OF secret Della
goa Bay agreements have recently been sub
mitted 10 the British Foreign Office that the
officials have made 1t rule neither to deny
nor affirm them, and when questioned re-
garding the statements OF the Lokal An
zeiger, OF Berlin, about reported treaty
the officials adhered to this rule. But Il
representative OF the Press gathered that the
alleged disclosures were quite inaccurate.
A despatch to the Times from Berlin COM
ments on the Lokal Anzeiger treaty state
ments as follows:
"When 1t is remembered that two Of Portu
gals Asiatic positions, Goa and Damao, form
statements OF the Lokal Anzeiger border on
the fantastic"
The st. James Gazette, in an editorial on
the reported treaty, says it is IA mere patch
work Of previous reports, some partly true
and some entirely false"
The probable truth is that rs previously
reported the Portuguese possessions in
Africa, north and south of the Zambesi. will
ultimately be leased to Great Britain and
Germany, respectively.

OF course that we shall make full PREPARATION.
if PREPARATION is proved to DO due. In the
meantime. it may be noted, as the Americans
themselves admit, that the facts are in coa-
siderable doubt, and that some OF them seem
to be rather compromising to the ssels
