Howard had used to sing these parts, and indeed
frequently given them still; for kind old Mr..
Shaw anxious not to show favortisn, especially
when merit nearly equal it in this case.
He had assigned to Howard several solo parts in
the Easter Sunday service, just as important as
that of the ofertory anthem termed by the boys
the Easter solo ~; but nevertheless that remained
the assignment of honor, and it Pidgy, not
Howard, who had it.

His mother interrupted him with: "Softly

At another time Howard would have q
stopped for more than handshake with his
cousin Helen, for whom his admiration knew
no bounds. She occupied somewhat of the
position of fairy godmother in the Da Costa
family, since it through her that many
luxuries somehow were supplied which Cousin
Henrys struggling widow found beyond her
means, though Cousin Helen not rich.
Furthermore, Howard had sisters, fact
which went to strengthen her influence over Il

of the corners of their mouths.
q suppose the choir needed that kind of boys,
from the specimen before me- said Cousin Helen,
when she could speak.
And his mother asked: What does boy
form into?"
Then Howard explained: It's that boy Mr..
Grancell took to raise, and Steve Grancell told
he came out of the reformatory House of Refuge,
or something. I'm not going to sit and sing along

Cousin Helen did not often speak like this and
Howard colored. Poor boy" she continued.
Z" He can't be very old in wickedness, or indeed very
wicked, or Mr.. Grancell would not have him there

BRU|SE ON HEAD
And All His Cash and
$|700 Diamond Missing
Points to Murder Of Alfred
Krattinger in New York.
Found Dead in Cheap el---Gas Turned on
foul Play Feared.

New York, Sept. l1.-What may de-
vtlop into another mysterious hotel
murder like that of Jacob Y. Thomp-
son, Il Well-known editor, was discov-
cred, yesterday, in an obscure hostel
ry at Sixth avenue and seth street
Through the Odor of escaping gas, a
maid i'll the hotel was drawn to a room
occupied for the night previous by AL
fred krattinger, 4 public accountant,
who lived with his wife, father and
brothers in West SD street. The room
WAS broken open and krattlnger was
found dead in bed. There We're no
signs Of violence ana il appeared to
be a common place suicide, such as
cOrOnerS handle a dozen times a week.
A coroner and detectives made syS-
tcmatic examination of the body and
the room and began to discover things
That set them thinking.
Ii was obS,i we'd that the tranSom of
the room was half open while the room
showed none Of the usual preparations
for suicide 10y gas. When the coroner
came to examine the body closely he
noticed that the face was not black
cnrd or discOlored as frequently hap
pens in asphyxiation cases. Then he
saw 4 large bruise just over the right
ear near the temple. 1t was such a
confusion as might have been caused
by a hard tall or blow from a heavy
stuck or blunt weapon. The coroner
could not determine from curSOry cX-
animation whether the skull was frac-
tured. That will be determined. today,
by the coroners physicians.
Krattingrr's brothers told the cOro-
n,r that there should be found on the
body q diamond pin worth $1,000 and a
considerable amount of cash. The only
thing found in the pockets was :, cheap
pockttknfe. There was no trace of the
diamond pm.
1t was subsequently learned by III"
coroner that the hotel register had
krattinger'S arrival changed. The no
t,l eluplovcS profeSSed entire ignorance
a. 10 who made the change. krattin-
gers father ana brothers declared af-
ter the examination they We're positive
the accountant had been murdered Ill
his room, early yesterday morning,
for bis money and pin and that th''
thief and murderer had escaped by the
SIKH avenue window after arranging
the body neatly and turning on the gas
to create the impression OF Sulcidt.
