room with his murdered mother,

on April 81. Rose was very cool.
When Judge Morse gave him

said, grimly: "Oh, I'll take the
shot"

said, and that the date Of my

Christmas morning Frank Rose
barber, left the rooms he called
home, scarcely noticing his wife,
but kissing his baby. He walked
the streets for hours.
Early in the afternoon he went
back to his home and greeted his
wife in friendly manner. But his
face was white with this new emo
tion he had wrought in his own
heart. He meant to kill her soon.
But as he looked at his baby and
the woman he had loved before
she turned false his murder born
courage left him,
! AT 4o'clock his wife suggested
that as they were both tired they
lie down on the bed to rest. To
this he consented, and the baby
sat between them playing with its,
few pitiful Christmas toys and
chattering happily to itself.
Rose opened the sores in his
heart and poured forth reprOaches
on his wife.
II am going to leave you" he
said at last.
If you do l will follow you
wherever you go, and have you ar

elared.

for she ha d no faith in his cour-

Rose got up from the bed, went
over to the dressing case and took
loaded revolver from the drawer.
The eyes of his wife followed him
aud she smiled sarcastically. Even
then she did not believe he would
: kill her.
Her head lay on the pillow and
she was now looking at the ceiling.
Rose put his knee on the edge of
the bed and supported his weight
with his left arm as he leaned over
and put the muzzle of the pistol to
his wife's head behind the ear.
There was a moment of hesitation,
and the woman smiled again. Then
he pulled the trigger.
The woman lay quite still for a
moment and the smile faded from
