The Ladies Home Journal is one OF
the few publications which can, with

accuse the fair sex of possessing a dis.
position to avoid payment Of their
debts. The above named paper says:
"Tradespeople in general consider
women as poor pay. The vast major.
ity Of sheltered women seem to have
no conception Of the anxieties, trouble,
poverty, suffering, privation, MUS
tice and positive cruelty which they
directly infict upon hard working
women by carelessness in p:ompt'
ly meeting their bills. If this prac'
tice were confined to the few one
might dismiss it with shrug or 6
sigh that it existed at all. But il

but nevertheless it is true in New
England at least that If men woult
pay their bills as conscientiously a
women do, ledger pages would b.
cleaner and the post Office department
would realize a smaller revenue iron

A RUSTY KEY.
1t Cleared ~ Forgotten Murder
and Hanged the Murderer.

"Small things sometimes tell big tales
and unravcl mysteries of long standing"
said an old detective who has seen lone
sCr"icc IN running down criminals in va.
riouS parts of the country. The most
singular case that ever fell under my care
was case in which a white man had
been murdered in some mysterious way.
and the body was put away and all eff.
forts to locate it were out of the Qucs.
ti0n. Suspicion fell on 4 negro, and he
was arrested. but subsequently, was rc.
leased because Of the absence OF proof "a
connect him with the crime. The body
was missing. and it was certain that the
man had been murdered and robbed by
some person familiar with the surround
incs. The negro had worked for him
but had been discharged because of i'm
pudcnce.
Ten years lapscd. All interest in the
crime had died out. Ono day some negro
blackberry pickers came across 4 key
which hung on the limb of Il hush. Be.
cause of the growth of the huSh the han
die Of the key was partially buried in
the limb. Right under the bush the ne
Grocs found the blcacheS and decnyin2
bones of human form. When the mat
ter was reported | was sent ont to in
vestiGatc the matter, and I gathered up
the bones, cut the bush down and tooF
everything to the police station. W
went back over the list of missing men.
There was a captain connected with
the department who possessed n wonder.
full memory, and he turned all Of his at
tcnton to the rusty key, which was still
in the limb of the bush. | ought 10 state
here that the negro had remained in the
community and had by his industry
bought few acres of land on which
stood the house which had figured in the
mysterious disappearance ten years be.
fore Cut that key ont for me-. said the
captain, and it was cut out. He had Il
consultation with the chief and, without
telling NE where he was going, asked me
to 20 with him.
1--WE Travelled about four miles and
drove up to Il little house late in the
evening. There was nobody ut home. ]
guess we might as we'll go in.' the captain
said. and, pulling the key from his peck
ct, he showed it into the lock. turned il
and opened the door. We waited for the
negro after locking the door again, but
watched all night, but the negro never
tulIc. W g grew suspicious uuu Spoll
learned that he had fled upon hearing OF
the discovery in the brier patch. Flight
strengthened the evidence OF his guilt.
Ho was arrested in a ncGhboring state,
returned, tried and convicted and finally
executed.
THE key which solved the mystery had
got caught in twig that sprung up in
the hricr patch, and but for this fact the
mystery would have never been solved

"My daughter had n fairly good mu.

she spent all her leisure time at it. One

did so, while l returned and watched the
