MERELY A COINCIDENCE.
Postman Helps Out Man Who Ex- hibits scant Knowledge of
 Sarah's Age.

Probably it was just matter of chance, but perhaps it was something worthy of consideration by the sharps on matters occult" began the man with the story of coincidence to tell, accord ing to the New York Sun. A friend and myself were talking about one thing and another in my office this morning when the friend suddenly asked me how old Sarah of the Bible was when she became a mother.
 T said didn't know, and led of on an other subject to conceal my ignorance of what the man was talking about. If I had been perfectly frank, would have confessed that didn't even know who Sarah was.
 Just then the mail was pushed through the slit in the door With the letters was sample copy of religious magazine which I had never heard of before and which, evidently, had been sent as an ad- vertisement
 s'I tore the wrapper off and threw the magazine on the desk. It opened of it's own accord and the title of the article beginning on the exposed page was Motherhood and the Ageo of Sarah"

INVITATION TURNED DOWN.
Prejudice Against Color of Former Waiter Causes Half Hearted Re-
 quest to Breakfast.

II now the representatives of a min gled race make themselves thus person ally attractive why should the very ex- lstence of such race be regarded as an 1nsuperable evil? The answer is that the tradition lies simply in the associations of slavery, writes Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in the Atlantic Outside of this country, such insuperable aversion plainly does not exist. nor Is it to be found in the land nearest to us in kin dred, England. A relative of mine, a Boston lady distinguished in the last generation for beauty and bearing, was once staying in London with her husband when they received call at breakfast time from mulatto of fine appearance. named Prince Sanders, whom they had known well as steward, or head waiter, in Boston. She felt that she ought to ask him, as fellow countryman, to sit down at the table with them, but she shrank from it until he rose to go; and then, in a cowardly manner, as she frankly admitted, stammered out the in- vitation To which his reply was, Thank you, madam, but l am engaged to breakfast with duke this morning" which turned out to be true
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-11

But what do we know about this fellow?" queried Merrick, jerking his head toward Darrel; ..he's a stranger in camp and his story may be cut out of whole cloth"
 "A month has elapsed since the shooting" went on Payton, addressing Darrel. Why have you kept silent so long?"
 ''The delay was unavoidable" replied Darrell
 Possibly, but the chances are 1t has defeated the ends of justice providing what you say is true. If we car find Murgatroyd's revolver in his posses sion, Merrick," the doctor added, turn ing to the marshal, "and if the re- volver. after these four weeks, is found to contain the marked cartridges, this man proves his case''
 Darrel's heart leaped in his breast. He was sure of Murgatroyd's guilt and the fact that the revolver would now be found upon him-barring the tech- nfcal point that 1t had been out of his possession for the four weeks-would prove his guilt.
 The technical point, which Murga troyd could not prove without Darreps help, was the only thing that could throw a cloud over Darrel's theory. Darrel was just asking himself how he should proceed in dealing with that phase of the question when another diversion occurred
 Roy Lenyard stepped into the room and moved resolutely toward the group sitting around the lamp on the desk.
 MT. Merrick," said he, sharply, T requested you to wait below until rejodned you and the doctor"
 Things happened up here, Len had to look after. There was a fight of some kind, as you can see, ,'-Mer- rick nodded toward the overturned cabinet-"and Doc and breezed in. But that don't make no difference. Here we are and if you've got card up your sleeve now's your chance to play it.'
 Then" cried Lenyard, whirling on Darrel and 1eveling 8 forefinger in his direction, "that man is Junius McCloud and I demand that you put him under arrest. It was he, and not Nate Darrel, that killed the man you know as Jack Sturgis!'
 Holy Smoke!" roared the marshal, on his feet in second. Why, he's all but proved that Murgatroyd did it. First thing know you fellows Il have 1t on to me-or Doc, there"

MosLEM's START IN LIFE.
Bismillah Ceremony at Age of Four Years and Four Months Is
 Curious Custom.

Such mode of prayer is even moro curious than the praying wheels of the Buddhists. who set the wheel revolving and reel off prayers by machinery. As John L. Stoddard, the lecturer. says: One sees, of course, numberless strange rites connected with religion in travelling about the world, but Japan IS the only land have ever visited where deities serve as targets for mas ticated prayers
 A little Moslem when she is four years four months old goes through the "Name-of-God, or Bismillah, cer- emony-w which begins her real life. says writer in sEverybody's Magazine She IS dressed in cloth of gold, with a veil and wreath of flowers, and friends are invited to salute the little queen She sits on gold cushion, which must be, borrowed if she hasn't one, and all the rest sit on the floor. Then an old muilah recites very slowly a certain verse from the Koran, which is also written in saffron on silver plate Bibi holds in her hand She runs her fingers over the words and stammers them after him. Say it now, Bibi; be good girl, then you shall see your presents" Soon they all cry, .Sha- bash! Shabash! Wah! Wah!" and the ceremony of the little girls first les- son in reading, writing anG religion is over- She salaams mamma, then shows her presents to her sahelis (girl friends)

~Preposterous!" declared pr. Pay.

"Preposterous!" declared Dr. Pay ton
 You're fool" averred the marshal, frankly Do you think Murgatroyd would shoot friend down in cold blood just for the sake of having Dar- rel hung?" e ers1
 Did you ever know Murgatroyd to make play that wasn't cruel, crafty and safe?" asked Darrel. Hes 8 snake and would trail his slimy length over any friendship for the sake of getting his fangs into an enemy's throat"
 "Be reasonable, young man." said the doctor, impatiently, "be reason able"
 Talks cheap" supplemented the to make me believe anything like that"
 Gentlemen, resumed Darrel, T. happen to know that Nate Darrel came to this town on the day the murder was committed. He came to Sandy Bar to settle his differences with Mur- gatroyd and, directly after he reached the camp, made straight for this office.
 "Murgatroyd was out in the hills and Darrel went into that private office and wrote line for him. Murgatroyd had forgotten his revolver and left it behind--it was lying on the desk in front of DarreI as he wrote his note.
 Before leaving the room Darre1 marked every cartridge in that gun It was then the doctors turn to leap hi h0fv x. 5. ..45.
 ttYou know Darrel did that?' he in- terrupted
 "tI do.''
 Why did he do it?'' Because he feared lMlrgatroyd would shoot him down from behind"
 "Still,'' returned the doctor, sinking back into his chair, T can't sec"
 "In his pocket-book Darrel placed a slip of paper stating that, if he met with foul play, the coroner would please recall that Lester Murgatroyd had sworn to shoot him on sight; and that, if the bullet that took Darrels life bore the letter M 1t would be found to correspond with other car tridges in MurgatrOyd's revolver" Dr. Payton drew deep breath and Merrick strengthened out in his chair, thrust his hands into his trousers pockets and peered at Darrel through half-closed eyes.
 "The bullet that killed Sturgis bore such mark said Payton, slowly. T probed for 1t myself and it hasn't been out of my possession since"
 Why in the fiend's name didn't you tell me something about that?" asked Merrick, his indignant eyes on the doc- tor
 'The jury knew of it,' answered Payton. We all kept quiet about it, hoping that something like this might develon-'

other builder on eTrher slds or the AL lantic. The first practical and success ful boat built by MT. Lake was the Ar gonaut, and she has proved the practi- cability of this type of vessel for com mercial purposes. She can remain for days under the surface; she can steer as correct courses as on the surface; she affords the crew the same comfort as when on the surface, with ample sleep ing, cooking facilities, and she has means of enabling divers to enter and leave the hull through an open door through which no water can possibly enter.
 The main feature that distinguishes the Lake" type of submarine is the power of travelling on the floor of the ocean. For this purpose they are fitted with wheels, and when on the bottom they run along the sea bed, just as car riage rolls along a highroad. They also differ from the diving torpedo boats" of the Holland type in the British and American navies, in that they go under. on an even keel. The Lake boats need not always run on the ocean bed, but can be navigated at any predetermined depth between the surface and the bot tom. Tn this position the depth of sub mergence is maintained nearly con-, stant by means of hydroplanes, one or more on each side of the vessel These hydroplanes. or horizontal ruders, are controlled automatically. and the boa. in submerging always maintains 1eysl keel The method of submersion by the side vanes, or hydroplanes, is as follows: Water ballast is taken in to bring the. boat to the "awash" condition. The vanes are then turned downwards, and the water flowing against the upper por- tion of the planes, forces the structure beneath the surface until the required depth Is reached.

tirely novel type of American subma- rine, which differs very greatly from the boats belonging to the British, French or our own government She has been built as private speculation by MT. Simon Lake, of Baltimore, who is now in Europe, and hopes to induce the admiralties there to give his boat trial. The Protector is 65 feet long by
 1 foot beam, and displaces 115 tons. On the surface she is driven by a 250-horse power petrol motor, actuating twin screws, and is submerged by an electric motor of 75 horse power. She Is fitted with three torpedo tubes, has speed of about IA knots on the surface and eight and nine-tenths knots below, and has a divers compartment, by which divers can leave and enter the vessel while sub- merged.
 MT. Lake has built two submarines fitted with wheels whereby they roll along the ocean floor. The first is in tended for peaceful operations, and is

CHAPTER XVI.

DARRELL ACCUSED AS McCLoUD.
 "Ah, the marshal" said Darrel. re- iieved to find that the officer was one of the first to be drawn to the scene. T am glad you have come"
 The marshal pushed farther into the room, followed by his companion.
 Whats been going on here?"
 Murgatroyd and I were settling an old score" answered Darrel. pulling his disarranged clothing into shape. "but am glad to say that it did not result seriously"
 Where is Murgatroyd now?"
 The officer had peered about the place and had even cast nasty glance into the inner office.
 T have him-safe,' Darrel smiled grimly. Who is this gentleman ?" he asked, turning to the thickrset man with the leather case under his arm.
 That's Doc Payton," replied the be- wildered marshal
 Not the same gentleman who had charge of the body of Sturgfs?'
 I am the coroner spoke up Pay- xon, and held the inquest
 DelISE anu DeltST, Sa1Q Daffel. Naturally, gentlemen, you are curi- ous. You see me follow Murgatroyd upstairs to this place and later you hear sounds of a scuffie and come to investigate What you see merely in- creases your curiosity and suspicion l want to talk with the two or you anC beg of you to set couple of thosa chairs upright and be seated"
 As he finished, Darrel settled him. self comfortably on one corner of the desk. The marshal was inclined to barley on Murgatroyd's account.
 'I want to understand this thing, he began, aggressively, and Darrel in- terrupted him with:
 Precisely! The quickest way to un- derstand it is by listening to what wish to say. If anything has gone wrong, I am here to be held to ac- count"
 He's right about that, Merrick, . said the doctor fighting one of the overturned chairs and seating himself in it. Lets hear him.
 Merrick had an uncomfortable feel ing that matters were strangely

wrong. somehow, and he picked up the lamp and stepped apart to survey the other room He came back directly and again set the lamp on the desk.
 T don't like the looks of things" he grumbled as he sat down, land we seem to be leaving the whole matter to you entire. But reckon you can fire away
 Darrel, fearing interruption from the vault, plunged into the subject at once.
 What was the verdict of the cor oner's jury in the Sturgis case, doc- tor?" he asked.
 Tt was found that Sturgis met his death by bullet, 45-caliber, fired by one Nathan Darrel, of San Francisco, ;" returned the doctor.
 Were the proofs of Darrels guilt quite conclusive?"
 'tThe jury found them so.'
 "But you, in your own mind; were you quite convinced?"
 "I don't recognize your right to ask such question. I am the coroner and have repeated to you the jury's ver- dict"
 In spite of this Darrel could see plainly that Dr. Payton had an honest doubt.
 Whats the use of splittin' hairs?" said the marshal And what has the murder of Sturgis got to do with your row with Murgatroyd?"
 Just this, Mr. Merrick," returned Darrel, steadily; "Murgatroyd killed &turgis-%''
 "What!" exploded Kerrick, starting Hp.
 The doctor was less amazed, a1- though not little startled.
 Darrel repeated his words.
 Why" exclaimed the marshal, "Sturgis and Murgatroyd was friends!"
 "Murgatroyd would have no motive" :" added the doctor.
 "Murgatroyd and Darrel were not friends" said Darrel.
 That's no news." came from the marshal Tt don't bear on Murga- troyd and Sturgis, anyhow"
 "Yes, it does,'' persisted Darrel; "Murgatroyd killed Sturgis in such 8 way that they would hang Darrel for it."
