IN THE SHADOW
OF SHAME
By Fitzgerald Molloy
Copyright by E. Fitzgerald Molloy.

smeared, her demeanor wild. With a
horrible scream the girl rushed from the
room, quilted the house, and ran into
the roadway.
A minute later and Veronica, draped
in a dressing gown, hurried into the
study. She bent above the PROSTATE, mo-
tionless figure and gazed upon the cruel
and evil face.
Father" she said, in shuddering
whisper.
Then she looked upon her mother,
whose countenance was as that of a
marble mask-a mask cunningly carved
to express despair and delirium, agony
and fear, and lighted by the eyes of fame,
looked upon the knife clutched in the
thin, nervous white hand and upon the
blood-smeared gown, when with pite-
Gus and tender cry-the cry of one
wounded beyond healing, the child flung
her arms around that dumb, tragic figure,
exclaiming:
ooh, mother, mother, what have you
done?"
At that moment the servant hurriedly
re-entered the room, followed by police
man.
Look she said Historically, as she
pointed to her mistress. Look, she has
murdered him!'
AS the policeman advanced Olive Dunn
barton shivered and drew back, tottered,
and with piteous moan fell senseless
beside the dead.

The First Air Brake.

Persons who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he proposed
to stop a train by air, says writer in
Success.
Nobody seemed inclined to let him try
his plan on a real train, but they did
not object to his working model of it
in shop where he could do no harm
or involve anybody else in expense.
He knew his scheme would work, but
he could not make any one else believe
it So he continued to sell his invention
for replacing derailed cars on the tracks
and to talk about his brake to any rail-
ROAD man who was willing to listen.
"Well, have you ever stopped a train
with this air thing of yours?" they
would ask.
No, he couldn't say that he had done
so. Nobody would let him try it, even
on rain of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg, SELL
ing his other invention and talking about
his brake notion to a man connected with
a railroad out there.
So the officials of the railroad per-
mitted Westinghouse to put his new
kickshaw on one of their trains. He had
to agree to indemnify the road for any
damage that might be caused to the
train as the :esult of his trials.
That's : great idea of yours" said
the man; we will try t on our line. -
The train was equipped. On the desig-
mated day the confident inventor and a
group of sceptical railroad men boarded
the Grain on which the first air brakes
wre liked.
Off weilt the train on its initial trip
The engineer PIT on full speed, and just
as he had rounded curve he saw ahead
at grade crossing, and in the middle
of the track, loaded wagon, a man
and boy, and a balky horse. The en-
gineer moved his little lever, and the
first train that was ever stopped by all
pulled up at a standstill several fee
short of the obstruction.
Thus, on its first trial, the Westing
house air brake saved life and prevented
damage to property. Thence forward
talking was unnecessary; all that had tc
be done was to make brakes. The in
ventor thought of hat clause securing
compensation to lie railroad for an,
d;mage he might do to the train, anc
:e aughed.
His fortune Lated from that day. H,
IDS then only twenty-five.

: Together they began the scrutiny,
which seemed to afford little clew to
the motive which caused David Dunn
barton's death. The deceased had
neither watch, chain, MOI valuables in
his possession; few shillings and some
pawn tickets were found i. one pocket,
a passboo,, containing entries of bets in
another, while a third held an empty
envelope directed in round, masculine
hand, and giving the address Of the de-
ceased.
These being carefully set aside, the
examination of the room was proceeded
with, the men stepping softly on the thick
carpet, as if fearful lest they should wake
that rigid form lying on the floor. Their
search was almost Immediately rewarded
by the discovery near The couch on which
Mrs. Dumbarton had lain of large, bone
handled clasp knife, such as sailors might
use, the blade of which was freshly
stained with blood, and from the window
crossing to the center of the room were
traces of clay-marks of the footsteps
of the murdered man. Beyond these
nothing was perceptible In the we'll
ordered room to indicate the tragedy that
had taken place within its walls and had
forever cast shadow on this peaceful
home.
"He must have entered there" re-
marked Mackworth, pointing to the
French windows, which opened in the
center and extended almost to the floor.
Let US have look at the garden" And
with lamps flashing through the heavy
darkness they examined the ground,
tracking footmarks which crossed in a
diagonal line from the gate to the win
dow, leaving deep indentations in the
flower plots, tramping shrubs and olos
SONS, and tearing down the grass upon
the slope of the terrace fronting the
house. Comparison of the footprints
with the boots of the deceased showed
beyond doubt it was he who had
left the traces behind as he rushed on
his way to death.
The closest observations made then and
in the morning also failed to discover
the tracks of a second pair of boots.
Not satisfied with this scrutiny, the
inspector resolved to extend its sphere,
but for this purpose he was obliged to
wait until daylight came to his aid. For,
though it seemed at this moment as If

Mrs. ]. B.Henderson's Seven Rules
For Longevity.

Mrs. ]. B. Henderson, the wife of ex-
Senator Henderson, wields great inhu-
5nce, not only over her husband, but also
over all who know her. 1t was Mrs.
Henderson who persuaded her husband
to destroy all the wines and liquors in
the cellars of their Washington home not
long ago. Shortly afterwards the news
came that she had converted the famous
Diplomat, WI Ting Fang, to her ideas
and ideals of life. Mrs. Henderson, in
a recent interview gave the following
rules for long life. They are worth pre-
serving.
I. Study the laws of nature for health
and the remedies of nature for cure.
2. Avoid all poisons.
5. Take abundant exercise in pure
air, but always short of fatigue. So ex-
ercise that every portion of the body is
equally benefited. AS it takes strong
engine for a long journey, cultivate lung
power by slow, deep-breathing exercises.
q. Eat only the amount of food that
nature needs, and study what to eat from
scientific point of view.
5. Cultivate normal sleep Live and
sleep only in rooms that are well summed,
well ventilated and not overheated.
g. Cultivate the habit of work in con-
nection with some worthy ambition, for
healthy exercise of body and mind is as
strengthening as reDose, and should bal
ance it. Work while you work. and
rest while you rest avoiding all worry
Make yourself useful to the world and
feel that you have a mission in it
7. Avoid bad environments, the worst
of which is the friend who encourages
Won to poison yourself.

"Who is he?"
"Her husband!" the maid replied, in

"Who is he?"
"Her husband" the maid replied, in
a high, wild voice.
Before he could ask further questions,
sounds were heard of footsteps and muir
murs of voices of those whom the serv-
ants cries of murder and the policeman's
entry had attracted, and presently an
other constable, DR.. Quave and his son,
and some strangers pushed their way into
the room, followed by the cook, sleepy
and scared.
The medical man bent above the dead,
took one rigid hand in his own, placed
his ear above the region where the heart
had just been stilled, and said in an
awesome tone:
ITS all over with him. He is quite
dead"
From this CHASTITY figure he turned to
Mrs. Dumbarton, who by this time had
been lifted to a couch, where she lay
motionless and apparently hfeless, her
daughter clinging to and kissing her be-
tween heartbroken sobs.
The policeman made no attempt to ar
rest the woman suspected of murder,
knowing she was not likely to make her
escape, and aware that if arrested be-
fore she gave evidence in the Coroners
Court she could not be cross-examined.
"You must at once fetch an inspector,
Martyn," the policeman who had first
arrived upon the scene said to the other,
while I remain here and see that Moth
ing is disturbed"
Crayton, the second constable, having
disappeared, Mrs. Dumbarton been con-
veyed to her bedroom and the group
of curious strangers having departed,
silence fell upon the house, broken only
by the occasional sounds of hurried foot
steps in the corridor above stairs.
A considerable time passed before
Martyr, keeping his watch beside that
stark and CHASTITY figure, heard sounds
of cab wheels stop before the house, and
Immediately Inspector Grifiths, of the
Metropolitan Police District, entered
with Crayton Grifiths, who had been
made acquainted with the circumstances
of the case, methodically prepared to ex-
anime the deceased, hoping to find some
clew to the instigation OF. the crime, some
evidence which would surely bring the
act home to the perpetrator.
Before beginning he was joined by De-
tective Inspector Maclworth, who had
been sent to the house by the Director
of Criminal Investigation, to whom Grit
fiths had forwarded a telegram.
