Singleton turned and whispered a
few words 10 a clerk, who hurried
from the room Then he motioned to
two smooth faced, well built men who
sat near by, spoke word to the coro-
ner and retired with them into the lat
ter's private Office. The reporters
crowded about us with congratulations
and questions. They scented a mys-
terry. What was the matter with Sin
gleton? What was the new piece of
evidence? Was it the note? What
was in the note?
Mr.. Royce smiled.

But those men he had summoned into

cleverest detectives on the force. What
did he want with them? Mr.. Royce
merely shrugged his shoulders. where
at the reporters deserted him and
massed themselves before the door into
the coroner's room. 1t opened in mo-
ment, and the two detectives came hur-
rying out They looked neither to the
right nor left, but shouldered their way

the slightest attention to the questions

you cross examine the witness, Mr..

My chief shook his head silently,
and Brooks left the stand.
Again the coroner and Singleton
whispered together.
"We will recall Miss Holidays

She was on the stand again In mo-
ment, calmer than she had been, but
deadly pale.

'Does your mistress possess any

"Oh, yes, sir. It's an ordinary cam

as most ladies use"
l breathed a long sigh of relief. Here
at least fortune favored us.
THAT is all. Have you any ques-
tions, Mr. Royce"
Again our junior shook his head.
"That concludes our case" added the
coroner. "Have you any witnesses to
summon, sirI"
What witnesses could we have?
Only one, and | fancied that the jury
men were looking at us expectantly.
If our client were indeed innocent,
why should we hesitate to put her on
the stand, to give her opportunity to
defend herself, to enable her to shatter,
in a few words, this chain of circum-
stance so firmly forged about her! If
she were innocent, would she not natu-

l saw that the address read:

He tore it open and ran his eyes
rapidly over the Enclosure. He read
it through second time, then held
out the paper to me with an expression
of the blankest amazement. The note
read:

the girl was summoned, while Rogers
stumbled dazedly off to the witness
room.

wore a dark red gown yesterday after
noon?' he asked when the girl was on
the stand again.
''Oh, yes, sir; quite sure"
"It was not dark green? Think
carefully now"
II don't have to thinkw she retorted
sharply, with toss of her head.
Miss Holiday hasn't any dark green
gown, nor light one either. She never
wears green. She doesn't like it. 1t
doesn't suit her"
"That will do" said Mr.. Royce. and
the girl went back to the witness room
without understanding in the least the
meaning of the questions. "Now, let
us have the Office boy again." he said,
and that young worthy was called
out.

"Oh. yes, sir.

"That will do" said our junior, and
sank back in his chair with n sigh of
relief. The solution had been under
our hands in the morning, and we had
missed it. Well, we had found it now.
Gentlemen" ne added, his voice
airing, his face alight, as he sprang
to his feet and faced the jury, I'm
ready for your verdict. l wish only
to point out that with this one point
the whole case against my client falls
to the ground! 1t was preposterous
from the very first!'
He sat down again and glanced at
the coroner

Goldberg, Il have merely to remind
you tina. your verdict whatever it
may be, will not finally affect this

We await your verdict"
The jury fiied slowly out, and l
watched them arxiously. In face of
the coroners instructions, they could
bring in but one verdict, yet I knew
from experience that jury Is ever an
unknown quantity, often producing the
most unexpected results.
The district attorney came down
from his seat ana shook hands with
both of us.

a Different speIIlna of Turner,

Apropos to this matter of sim.
plifed spelling, it was the topic Of
conversation at literary gathering
in New York the other evening.
There was serious and emphatic dis
cussion for some time when at last
one of the company very solemnly
inquired if any one present could
pronounce the word "phthologn-
yrrh." There was much question
Ing, much repetition of the con-
glomerate mass of letters; then it
was given up. "Simple enough"
declared the propounder of the puz-
zle. at spells turner Don't you
seeP Phth is pronounced t, as in
phthiSic; olo is pronounced ur, as in
colonel; gn is pronounced n, as in
nat, and yrrh is pronounced er, as
in myrrh." Amid shouts of laugh
ter that word which nobody could
pronounce was finally pronounced
by all to be the very best argument
Of the evening in favor Of simpli-
fed spelling.-New York Times.

Watterson Says Go to Dixie

"Pack your New England wallet
and take bee line for Dixie ;carry
your new England Bibles with
ycu-it will keep the old red barn
fresh in mind--though you find
some 'old folks at home down
there, too; carry your bliths New
England spirit with you--it will
meet kindred spirits there-plenty
of them, and don't believe all the
to les you hear about the race ques-
ton. white man mighty unsartin',
says Uncle Remus; Niger In pro-
portion buckle down, knuckle
down to work, never forgetting
the fact that many of the noblest
and proudest families of the Old
South traced their origin to the
blood and loins of the Pilgrim
Fathers, and that the youngsters
of the New South are just as
patriotic, just as bumptious and
just as set up in their own conceit
as you are yourselves"
These are some of the words of
Colonel Henry WattersoD in his
address to the graduates Of Brown
University, at Providence, h. l.
The core of his address was dis
closed when he declared that we
are all Americans; that sectional
ism is the result of narrowness and
ignorance, and "deals with the
remote and unfamiliar" Pro-
vincialism, he claims. 10 the result
of domesticity, which alike in the
North and in the South, has
restricted the development of the
mental horizon Of men beyond the
narrow section to which they
belong. The spirit of sectionalism
thus bred 'makes distinctions. 1t
breeds hatred and organizes mis-
takes"

Bad Taste and Bad Grammar.

Boys and girls should remember
that woman or girl should never
be spoken of as a female" The
use of the word in that way is not
only vulgar, but incorrect, for "fe-
male" is an adjective, not noun,
They should also use the good old
word woman" as a rule, instead OF
the affectation, Gladly" So far has
this affectation gone that it has ac-
tually become the custom among
people who have poor taste to speak
Of saleswomen as "salesladies." That
is wholly inexcusable. We might az
well say "salesgentlemen" instead Of
statesmen, and who would be guilty
of SO ridiculous blunder as thatP-
