The Murder of Mrs. Todd.

The most bsfiing Of all New forEs
rseen, murder mysteries, the doing to
death Of Mrs. MSrEsretts Todd, was
Yesterday nearer a solution than II has
been at any time since the b'dy OF the
eccentric old woman was found lying on
the tracks IF the Reading Railway, IN
Fairmont Park, Philadelphia.
Mrs. Todd, it is now known tc the sat-
isfaction of the legal representatives. Of
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Tousey, was
lured to Philadelphia to be killed. The
plot was ha,ched by persons who were
concerned 10 her death at that parti' ular
time 10 order that their financial interests
might not he impaired.
Robbery was the prime motive, but
Jewels or cash we're not the spoil the
murderers sought. Diamonds worth
MANY thousands of dollars were on Mrs.
Todd's hand and at her throat when the
body was picked up. The plotterS sought
important papers. These are missing
Mrs. Todd had them with her when she
started from the Hotel Won Hoffman, In
New York, to proceed unwittingly to her
death.
These papers we're regarded as vital by
those whom they concerned. How vital
may be Judged by the fact that the con-
spirators we're reckless enough to rlsK
putting their heads into moose by slay-
ing a defenseless old woman and then
lhrusting her body upon the railway
tracks ia order to make it appear that
she was run down by train.
What these pa1ers are, aud exsctiy
how the crime was accomplished, cannot
be told now, according to Theron DAVIS
of connsel tor Mrs. TOusey.

OF this belief, however, they craned

CHAPTE !.

1--WE Shall Find II Out Some Day."
About the beginning of the month of
April, 1884, the family of Mr.. Silas Bur
rift observed a certain alteration in
that gentleman's habits and demeanor.
1t appeared to those who studied
air of anticipation-that he started
when knock was heard at the door,
and that the advent of the postman
was awaited by him, if not with anx-
iety, at any rate with an amount of
eager expectancy which was, in gen
eral way, quite foreign to him.
II was also observed that the nearer
they drew to the end of the month,
the more these symptoms became ex-
aggerated; and, as day after day
went by unmarked by an unusual oc
currence, he was observed to shake
his head with half-smile and a half
sigh, and mutter, as he thought to
himself, Dead or forgotten" After
which, he remained plunged in reflec-
ton for a considerable time.
1t was his son Edward-more gen.
orally known as "Ted"-who happened
to overhead these words, and they
caused him no small amount of be-
wilderment
He stood with his sister May in the
hall OF Mr.. Burritt's large, old-fash-
Toned house at Dulwich 1t was about
seven O'Clock in the evening that, as
the brother and sister were talking in
low voices, the former was interrupted
by the sound of an abrupt, loud, double
knock
There's the seven o'clock post"
said the girl Il wonder if there's any
thing for father this time? If there
is, Pill"
But as she turned towards the direc-
ton of the letter box, the study door
was thrown hurriedly open and an
elderly gentleman rushed across the
hail. and extricated from it's receptacle
one letter in thin, foreign looking en-
velope, the direction on which was
written in a large, scrawling hand,

of hardly repressed triumph. Il knew

Her father turned round upon her,

"The-the letter that came last

by the unusual tone. Then, reassert-
ing herself, Il was in the hall, you
know, when it came, and | thought 1t

Her fathers frown relaxed as he
patted her on the shoulder.
"Inquisitive little girl" he said;

letters are about?"
But it was business, wasn't it?'

To Win in Life,

Do we not pay so much attention
to mere material success that we ex
clude from mind and heart other
things more precious? | am anxious
(says Albert j, Beveridge) that every
young man should win in all the con.
fiicts of life-win in college and in
business-but am even more anxious
that through all of his triumphs he
should grow ever broader, sweeter
and more kindly. After all, we are
human beings We do not want to be
mere machines of success, do We?
That is carrying our mechanical age
little TOO far We want to keep that
within us which makes our victory
worth having after we have won it,

which barely left room for the stamp.
There was singular look upon his
face, on which establishment seemed

Then he drew long breath. After

so he has kept his word after all"
He recrossed the hall re-entered his
study and closed the door. AS he did
so both the young people heard the
key turn in the lock. Evidently their
father was anxious not to be disturbed
in the perusal of the mysterious mis-
sive, whatever it might be- Neither
of them said any more on the subject
at the time, but their minds were full
of it as they each turned to go their
different ways; the one to the billiard
room for little private practice, the
other to the drawing room to try over
the last new song.

the former, and what made the
guv'nor so queer and unlike himself

good troubling myself about it,
Mr.. Silas Burritt remained shut up
in his study all the remainder of the
evening, and only encountered his
son and daughter at breakfast the
next morning-being Thursday-when
he appeared to have regained his or
binary manner; Notwithstanding to
two pairs of inquisitive young eyes
there still seemed to be a certain alb
sent eXpression-the expression of a
man (not that they. described it to
themselves in any such words) who
has been reviewing the past, and
whose thoughts still linger behind him
among the years that have gone by.
There was also slight suspicion of
nervousness about him, and several
times he seemed on the point of saying
something, which he put off from one
moment to another. At last he made
up his mind to speak.

Rust Spots.


1t is not hard to take out rust spots.
A little salt, lemon and sunshine will
do the work but it saves time and
labor to prevent them. A prolific
source of these bemishes on white
and other light colored tub gowns is
hooks and eyes. These fastenings, if
made of the usual metal, must be
removed before the gown is sent to
the laundry; otherwise it will be
sprinkled with rust spots. Even ia.
panned hooks and eyes cause the
same disaster; and they not only
rust the gown they are on, but every
other article with which they come
in contact in the laundry process. Be
sides taking them off and replacing
them before each wearing is an i'm
possible slavery. All this can be
avoided by using hooks and eyes
made of brass. These will not stain
the fairest gown, even when subject
ed to repeated launderings. There
are also in the market snap fasten.
ings of several different styles, but all
made of aluminium either in natural
color or japanned. These, also, are
antitrust. Dressmakers and tailors
dislike to use them, because they are
hard to sew on, having to be secured
in four different places; but once on
they are firm and have the merit of
not staining the gown.
