T mentioned that fact myself"

T mentioned that fact myself"
 "Yes. But you didn't mention that your mother had been hanged for poi soning your father"
 Mrs. Krill turned ghastly pale. "No," she said in suffOcating voice. "Such is the case, but can you wonder that I forebore to mention that fact? My daughter knows nothing of that nor did my husband"-
 (Which husband do you mean, Krill or Jessop?" asked Hurd.
 Mrs. Krill gasped and rose, swaymg. 'What do you mean, man?'
 This" said the detective, on his feet at once; 'this person hunted out the early life of Anne Tyler at Stowley. It was discovered that Anne was the daughter of woman who had been hanged and of man who had been murdered; also this person found that Anne Tyler married sailor called Jarvey Jessop some years before she committed bigamy with Lemuel Krill fin Beechill church,
 "Ir's a Her screamed Mrs. Krlll, ios- i ing her self control. How dare you come here with these falsehoods?'
 "They are not falHehoods, Anne Ty- Ter, alias Anne Jessop, alias Anne Krill, etc., retorted Hurd, speaking rapidly and emphasizing his remarks with his finger in his usual fashion when in deadly earnest You were married to Jessop in Stowley church. 1 You bore him a daughter, who was christened Maud Jessop in Stowley church. Tsle person I mentioned sent me copies of the marriage and birth certificates. So your marriage with i Lemuel Krill was false, and his sec ond marriage with Lillian Garner is a good one in law. Which means, Mrs. Jessop"-Hurd hurled the word at her, and she shrank-"that Sylvia Norman or Sylvia Krill, as she rightfully is, owns that money which you wrong fully withhold from her. The will gave the five. thousand year to my daughter and Sylvia is the only daughter and only child-the legiti- mate child, mark you-of Lemuel Krill."
 "Lies, lies, lies!" ragged Ms. Kriil, as she may still be called. though right fully Jessop. "Ill defend the case on my daughters behalf"
 "Your daughter, certainly" said Hurd, "but not Krills."
 q say yes"
 "And say no. She was fifteen when Lady Rachel was murdered, as Jes- sop, her father, admitted. 1 knew the man was keeping something back, but I was far from suspecting that 1t was this early marriage. No wonder the man came to you and had free quar- ters at the Red Pig. He could have prosecuted you for bigamy, just as you would have prosecuted Krill had you not murdered him."
 Mrs. Krill gave yell, and her eyes blazed. 'You hound," she shouted, do you accuse me of that?'
 q do more than accuse you. I arrest you" Hurd produced the warrant "A man is waiting in the cab. Well get four wheeler, and you'll come along with me to jail, Mrs. Jessop."
 "You can't prove it-you can't prove it." she panted, land I shan't go-l shan't-I shan'tw And her eyes sought the tapestry.
 Miss Jessop can come out" said Hurd coolly, "and, as to your not com ing, few policemen will soon put that rioht S

murder?"
 Mrs. Krill controlled herself excel lently, although she was startled Dy this speech, as was evident from the expression of her eyes. That poor lady committed suicide" she said de- liberately. "The jury at the inquest brought in verdict of suicide"-
 By a majority of one," added Hurd quickly. There seems to be con- siderable amount of doubt as to the cause of the death"
 "The death was caused by strangula- tion," said Mrs. Krill in hard tones 'Since you know all about the matter, you must be aware that I and my daughter had retired after seeing Lady Rachel safe and sound for the night. The death was discovered by a boon companion of my husbands, with whom he was drinking at the time."
 "I know that. Also that you came down with your daughter when the alarm was given. l also know that Krill fastened your daughters lips to- gether with the opal brooch which was found in the parlor."
 "Who told you that?" asked Mrs Krill, agitated.
 "Jessop-the boon companion you speak of."
 "Yes," she Said, suppressing her agi- tation with powerful effort. Ma tilda said you had him to dine with you. What else did he say?" she asked, with some hesitation.
 He told me, among other things, that Grexon Hay had been engaged to your daughter for two years"
 "Well," asked Mrs. krill coolly, "what of thatT'
 Nothing particular" rejoined Hurd just as coolly, "only wonder you took the trouble to pretend that you met Hay at Pasll's office for the first time. .''
 "That was some romantic rubbish of my daughters. There was no req son why we should not have acknowl- edged MT. Hay as an old acquaint- ance."
 "None in the world that can see" said Hurd smoothly. "He told you that Aaron Norman was your hus- band"
 "No," said Mrs. Krill decidedly. "l first heard of my husband by seeing chance handbilr'-
 Not at all," answered Hurd, just as decidedly, Hay has confessed"
 "There was nothing to confess cried Mrs. Krill loudly and with en- phasis
 "Oh, think so," said the detective, noting that she was losing her temper. You didn't want it known that you were aware of Normans identity be- fore his death. Do you deny that?
 q deny everything" gasped Mrs. Krill, her hands trembling.
 That's a pity, as want you to cor roborate certain facts connected with Anne Tyler. Do you know the name"
 My maiden name," said the widow, and look of fear crept into her hard, staring eyes. How did you come to know of it?"
 Prom the marriage certificate sup. piled by Pash."
 He had no right to give 1t to you. '
 He didn't. I possess only a copy But that copy I sent down in charge of a certain person to Beechill. This person found that you were married as Anne Tyler to Lemuel Krill in the parish church, twenty miles from your birthplace. This person also made in quiries at Stowley about you. You

Continued treatment cures cases of long standing.
 Deans Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only, and contain no poison- ous nor habit-forming drugs. They relieve congestion and inflammation of the kidneys or bladder, heal and cure the kidney tissues, drive of dangerous uric poisons. dissolve and remove gravel, and rid the body of all vatery waste.
 Thousands of cures prove the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a case at home.
 A WATERBURY CASE.
 R. R. Calender, of 90 Bishop st. Waterbury, Conn, says: T have much confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills as a remedy for backache. In my own case they brought freedom from every symptom of kidney trouble and rid me of pains in the back and the trouble has not return ed since stopped using this remedy. I procured the pills at the H. w, Lake Drug Co, and 1t gives nc pleasure to endorse such a relfaba backache and kidney medicine"

Minot May Land 500 and q. N. Repair
Shops.
1t is rumOred in Minot that Minot
bids fair to get two big railroad shops.
The Great Northern and the 500 are
figuring. it is said, on the location of
shops in this city.
The Great Northern road has re-
Gently made a survey Of the entire
city. The inference is that the road
contemplates the purchase of consid-
cradle property needed to increase its
facilities at this point. 1t is said that
the road will build large twenty-five
stall roundhouse which will be used
in connection with the present round
house, and there is strong possibility
that large car shops will be built
here.
The proposed line from Aneta to
Minot, which will shorten the distance
from ST. Paul to the coast nearly 200
miles, has put an entirely different
phase on the car shop situation.
There is a possibility, too, that
Minot will land the 500 shops. The
500 will have a train running from
Minot to Bismarck this summer, and
a branch Is planned from Carpio. This
train will probably be run out OF Mi.
not, and in this instance, too, Minot
Is the logical point for the car shops.

GASOLINE IS FINDER.
Explosion In Stove Hurls Man Across

ROOM.
Mistaking gasoline for kerosene
Thomas Bell, living near Willow City,
had a narrow escape from death by
the explosion which followed the ig.
milton Of the fluid.
Bell was starting a fire in the kitch
en- stove and poured cupful of fluid
from can supposed to contain kero-
sene. He emptied this upon the kind
ling in the stove and applied match.
There was a terrific explosion and the
man was blown across the room, strik-
ing against the outer wall of the
house. His face was scorched and his
hair and beard burned off, but it is not
believed that he sustained any serious
injuries.
1t appears that the family had occa
sion to use gasoline for cleaning pur-
poses and forgot to inform Bell that
the cans had been changed.

dead in their beds at their home at

used in the sleeping room.
When the neighbors noticed that

was made and the two dead bodies
