Mrs. Jerseys house was a
large stone apartment and
even ON the brightest of days
not very well lighted. On this partic-
ular morning the gas was burning and
was likely to continue alight during
the day, as the fog was as thick as
ever. The servants collected round the
table were having an early cup of tea.
TO assist the progress Of digestion they
talked of their mistress and OF the
boarders Miss Bull in particular seem
I'd to be disliked.
tsShe's sly cat, with, that white face
OF hers. said the cook. "Twice she
said the soup was burnt. never liked
hers
Madame don't, either" said Jarvey,
the errand boy, ruf1ing his short hair.
They've been quarreling awful I
shouldn't wonder If madame gave her
notice.
"Ah, Miss Margery will have some
thing to say to that" chimed in the
housemafd; "she likes Miss Bull"
~'Cause Miss Bull makes much Of
her and no one else does," said Jarvey.

Miss Bull governs her. don't want to

manners. Here's madame's tea. Take
1t to her sitting room. She's sure to
be up and waiting"
Jarvey went grumbling up the stairs.
Mrs. jersey was an early riser and
usually had a cup Of tea In her sitting
room at o'clock. After this refresher
she gave audience to the cook, looked
over her tradesnen's books and com
planned generally that the servants
were not doing their duty. Madame
was not at her best in the morning,
and Jarvey went up most unwillingly.
When the boy went the servants con
timed chatting and eating. 1t was just
on 2. and they were reluctantly rising
to begin their duties when a crash was
heard and then q chatter OF boots.

This was because Jarvey. with his
hair on end and his face perfectly
white, tore into the kitchen. Hesraced
round and round the table, his eyes
starting from his head. The servants
huddled together in fear, and the cook
seized the toasting fork. They all
agreed with her that the page was mad.
Suddenly Jarvey tumbled in a heap
and began to moan, with his face on
the floor, ooh, the blood the bloodr'

down he dropped on the floor again,
kicking and screaming.
The boy was scared out of his life,

Brendon thoughtfully "Yet as she

THE visitor might have killed her
and then have closed the door himself -
"Himself? How do you know the
visitor was a man? 1t might have
been a woman. Besides, Miss Bull told
me that the door was locked as usual,
and that she took the key this morn
ing to open it from Mrs. Jerseys pock4

Mrs. Jersey is in the house. But were

to the inspector about this"
Leonard took this advice and whenIr
questioned simply stated that he had
retired to bed at IL and had heardy
nothing. Brendon made similar
statement. and Quex saw no reason to
doubt their evidence.
He questioned all the boarders ana
all the servants, but could learn moth
ing likely to throw any light on the
darkness which concealed the crime.
No one had heard a noise In the night,
no one had heard scream, and it was
conclusively proved that every one In
the house was in bed by IL O'clock,
the majority, indeed, before that hour.
Margery, who saw madame at the
striking of that hour, was the last per-
son to see her alive. Mrs. Jersey went
to her own sitting room and there had
been struck down.

TROUBLE ABOUT MONEY
Man and Woman Fined for seixInq
 Mortgaged Furniture.

Max and Belle Roseman. white man and woman respectively, were yesterday fined $50 each by Judge Feagin on charge of entering a house on an un- lawful mission. They are accused of going to the residence of Amy Scott a negro woman who lives near Powdy fly, and removing some furniture while Nae was away and did not know what t,4Ay were doing aK
 From the evidence in court it. seels. that the house occupied by the negro is the property of Roseman. The woman had borrowed s5 from a money lender and had paid about s6 on principal and inter est account. The man demanded the bal ance due and Roseman went to the house and moved the furniture out. It seems that the furniture was mortgaged and it was unlawful for them to move it.
 The woman had the two arrested and Judge Feagtn fined them $50 each An appeal was taken and they made bond to appear in the higher courts. The case is rather peculiar.
