Naturally enough many of the most
ardent opponents of any limitation
to the time for labor in unhealthy or
unsafe pursuits are s.ctuated more by
anxiety to profit by the long hours
of toll of others than by any desire

some of the worlds NEST eminent
minds have favored such limitation.
Before the invention of many of the
most ingenious labor saving devices

no one would need to toll one half 80

President Roosevelt in his message

The New-Yorker shrugged his shoulders. g

Tell us what the facts, Mr.. Bradshaw" said
the Coroner. Have you made yourself
known to Lord Arncliffe?"
why, yes-and that's what's puzzlng me-

months ago. introducing myself, but received no
reply. l wrote again ten days ago, saying that

1t appeared to me-" added the witness dryly THAT
as l neither wanted asked for anything Lord
Arncliffe might be reasonably glad to become
acquainted with the son of his only brother"
The Coroner bent his brows in a legal frown-
the inquiry had reached bounds he had never fore
seen.
Il suppose, Mr.. Bradshaw he said, ''you are
prepared to substantiate your claim to be Lord
Arncliffe's nephew"
Of course | do SO, though | don't know
that it would be any particular advantage under

this witness.
You were naturally surprised Mr.. Bradshaw,

of somebody pursuing an undetermined course.
Considering all the circumstances, this evidence
points to the deliberate suppression of certain
of Lord Arncife's letters, for had Lord Arncliffe
by any chance received them direct, he would
surely have communicated such news to his solicit
tors, and probably to the young lady he had
chosen heiress of his vast wealth. In conclu-
sion, l may say that of these facts will be
lost sight of in the police Investigations which
must of course, follow; and if l may indicate
the lines of your verdict, l think you will best
aid justice at this stage by finding that Lord
Arnclfe died from the effects of arsenic but how or
by whom administered, there is evidence to show"
That's all very well, Mr.. Coroner" objected the
foreman; "but it seems to that if we find the
person who kept back those letters shall not be
very far off the murderer"
'Of course" assented the Coroner, ''in a case of
this sort anybody shown to be guilty of such an
But letters pass through many hands that it is
extremely difficult to fix responsibility. For in
stance, Miss Holt tells she had charge of Lord
Arncliffe's correspondence. Yet it is possible that
before the mail reached her hands it might have
passed through those of the footman of the
maids. However, as l have told you, gentlemen,
of these matters will be neglected, do they
really concern you, and you may retire to consider

The witness looked with some disfavor upon the

which met his scrutiny, checked the impending
rebuke

William Lincoln Bradshaw"
Il understand you able to give certain
material evidence regarding Lord Arncliffes
death?"
Il don't know anything about Lord Arncliffes
death, beyond what l have read in the papers,"
rejoined Bradshaw. Il am rather on the look

Arncliffe? said the court.
Not SO much at the time,
because | thought he might
possibly be away; but l am
much surprised now that l learn
he must have received my
letters. I have only recently
discovered the relationship, but
he wrote so affectionately up
to the date of my fathers
death that it seems incredible
that he should have utterly
ignored my communications"
That will do for the present,
Mr.. Bradshaw. Call Samuel
Barnes"
An asthmatic old man hobb1ed
forward.
You act as village postman,
believe, Barnes?"
"Yes, sir, forty years come
Christmas"
Never mind that. Do you
remember having delivered any
letters at the Hall recently,
bearing American stamps?"
"Yes, Sir, there was two of
'em-one few days ago, and
one sometime back. l noticed
them because we don't often
have letters from Amerikv.
Forty years come Christmas"
You can stand down,
Barnes" interrupted the Cor
oner. "Now can anybody tell
me whose duty it would be to
receive such letters as were
delivered at the Hall?"

caused her faintness had appar-

all Lord Arncliffe's letters unless
they were marked private but

This closed the evidence, and
the Coroner resumed his in
terrupted summing-up:
1T can hardly be said, gentle
men, that the statement of Mr..
Bradshaw throws any light upon
the mystery of Lord Arncliffe's
death, but it is important in so
far that it indicates the presence
