PHILADELPHIA WOMAN UNDER ARREST
Mrs. Bridget Carey Said Have Been Prompted by Guilty Love
in Commita Of Atrocious Act-Whoesale Arsenic
Tragedy Has Stirred Auburn New York.

Two Little Girls Die.
The death of the two little girls
Of Mrs. Carey furnished days sensa-
ton to the neighborhood. The girls
had received few pennies from neigh
bors and had purchased candy at a
store near their home They gave
some of the candy to their little
brother and when they became sud-
denly i'll the physician called to at
tend the case, after asking what the
children had eaten, ascribed the effects
of their illness to the candy.
An aunt of the children living in
West Philadelphia took the youngest
child to her home, where after hard
struggle he survived the effect of his
illness. The two girls, however, were
treated at home and died the next day,
While the physician at first announced
his opinion that candy OF poor sort
had caused the trouble, he notified the
coroner that the case should be looked
into.
The first part Of the investigation
that followed was devoted to testing
the character of the various kinds OF
candy in the neighboring stores and
especially at the store where the chill
dren had made their purchases.

times of peril-and how often she

Wedding Etiquette.

The father and mother Of the bride,
as hostess and host in their own
home, welcome the guests before the
ceremony; after that the bride first,
then the groom, the maid of honor and
the maids, then the men of the party;
after them the parents Of the bride
and groom. However, the receiving
line soon dwindles down to the inter
ested couple; the others mingle with
the guests, especially the men, whose
duty it is to see that people are duly
presented to the bride and groom and
that the way of approach is kept clear.
This is accomplished by seeing that
the refreshment room is kept filed
and that guests are introduced.

The Hair and Scalp.

Shampooing the hair too often Is
injurious to the hair and scalp. Once
month is as often as the hair and
scalp should be washed. 1t can be
kept perfectly clean by brushing thor
oughly with a coarse brush, and the
brushing Is much better for the hair.
Water must be used upon the hair
only when it is washed. Used any 9th
er time 1t fades the hair. Massage
the scalp with the cushion tips of
the fingers, being very careful not to
scratch the scalp with the nails. Irri-
tating the scalp in any way will
cause dandruff. Occasionally, after
the massage, apply a lotion Of borax
and glycerin, two drains of each to
eight ounces Of distilled water. This
is cooling, and allays dryness Of the
skin.

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES.
Discovered In Four Regions-Piace OF
Origin Unknown.

Origin Unknown.
Never before In the history of the
United States has there been such a
demand for the diamonds as there was
In 1906. Large qualities were import
ed, but the country produced none
In 1908 It produced diamonds to the
value OF $50, in 1901 1t had an output
worth 800, and in 1900 it's production
was valued at $50. and in 1899 the
country boosted native diamonds to
the value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered In
the United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place OF origin
Is In every case unknown. All have
been found In loose and superficial de
posits and all accidentally. 1t is not at
all improbable, however, that some day
the original sources of this queen of
gems may be discovered.
The high price of diamonds has
made the recent search for these
precious stones In the United States
and Canada keener than ever before.
A careful watch for diamonds was
kept during the examination by the
United States geological survey OF
many samples of gold and platinum
sands at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton In Portland, Or.
A lookout for diamonds has also
been kept by number Of people who
have been dredging for gold on an ex-
tensive scale In the rivers of Califor-
MIA. In neither case have any finds
been reported.-Scientific American.

CHAPTER TX.

The inquiry hung fire, and Truscott,
moved by Billerys recent disaster,
found him something at which he
could imagine himself to work at the
Daily Record office. He was not of
any special service there, but he had
enough In hand to keep him out of
mischief, and he drew salary on
which it was possible for him to sub
sist with comfort. He had a little den
of his own with his name painted on
the door, and pretty generally in the
course of the day Truscott came in
and smoked cigar with him, so that
Billery came to enjoy a high esteem
with the staff, and to be looked on as
one who held a sort Of advisory pow
er in the councils of the journal. He
had telephone in his room, and he
passed some of his time in harmless
conversation with his friends, whom
he would occasionally ring up in order
to impart to them the latest funny
story in circulation in Fleet street. He
had been so thoroughly scared by his
own narrow escape from death that
for long time he was a model of tenn
perance.
Alexis had been advised by his doc
tor to try a change of scene, and he
had gone abroad. Billery thought of
him often with deep compassion, and
his first eager interest in his man-hunt
had died away. He had said nothing
to the Scotland Yard authorities about
Grimaud, whose complete knowledge
Of the case, If, indeed, he had any, re-
manned locked in his own breast.
There was a very fair possibility that
the whole thing might blow over, and
Billery's heart was so wruung by the
thought Of the anguish which would
come upon the innocent if the crime
were brought home to the guilty that
he almost hoped that his past efforts
would go for nothing, and that Alloy
sius would be left to the torture of his
own conscience.
He was sitting in his room at the Of
fee one afternoon, making his GUS
tomary pretence of being engaged on
something of Importance, when he
found himself called up on the tele-
phone. Whenever this happened 1t
made Billery feel important. He liked
to think that he was at the center of
affairs. He responded to the call at
once, and shouted, "Helloa!" and "Are
you there?" and who Is 1t, II you
please?" Was that the Daily Record?
Yes. Was Mr.. Billery at the office?
Yes; here present. Would Mr.. Billery
kindly hold the wire a moment? Ser
geant Holt would like to speak to him
from Scotland Yard
right" said Billery, and waited,
murmuring to himself that here was
more trouble for Alexis.
THAT Mr.. Billery?" came Hollis
voice.
Eyes; what Is it? That you, Holt?"
Eyes. We have just got news here
OF the discovery of that man Missall,
the Frenchman who owned the house
In Agar Row. He's living In Paris. He
says the person to whom he sold the
house was fellow countryman of his,
but think you once mentioned to me
that the person you suspect had spent
. good deal of his time abroad, and
that he spoke French like a native"
YES" said Billery. I've no doubt
he could pass for Frenchman II he
liked"
