BREAK IN HARTFoRD's BRIDGE.
Crack May Have Followed Use of
 Spillng in Building.

Hartford, Oct. 23.-A crack about an eighth Of an inch wide appeared yesterday on the north side of the east abutment of the new Connecticut river bridge, running from the cop ing clear to the ground and before many hours it was a much discussed subject
 It is believed that the trouble ha arisen from the fact that the East Hartford approach was built upon spiling, which must now be settling or undergoing some sort of change. It is also said that the settling may be due to the wing walls not having been built as deep as the abutment by eight feet and that they have given way under the pressure against them.
 Five of the granite blocks on the face of the abutment have been cracked, the line of breakage from the top to the bottom of the abutment in other places having followed the joints between the stones.

flame lighted soft, snowwhite pyra- mid and a row of bags. They were stuffed to bursting with their top cor ners twisted as erect and alert as a fox terriers ears. Outside stood a slip of a boy, about the size of Patsy, his hands in his pockets, his round cap pushed we'll back, his nose, which barely reached high enough, flattened against the glass. The popcorn man surveyed the twilight scene over the top of the showcase. Maggie in vested in two warm bags, Here now thin!" she said to the youngster as she trust one toward him. The pinched little face withdrew from the glass slowly, doubtfully. Then two short arms were held out eagerly Grimy hands grasped the frail parcel and hugged it up tight to the recep- tive breast The ears of the bag curved up on both sides of the sad mouth. Perhaps they exerted hyn- notic influence, for the corners of the mouth began to curve upward, too; the eyes opened wide; the cheeks puffed out just wee bit; the tiny nose wrinkled and soft light stole into all the shadowy places and suf- fused the evening sky, Not a word escaped the firmly closed lips. Maggie slipped the other bag under her shawl for Patsy, and trudged on her way.
 She did not find Tom fin it" when she got home, but the thought that she might was all the sustenance that her love needed to keep hope alive for new day And on the morrow her hope was indeed justified.

OF two evils it is always best to choose
the least, and as Nj. Vandeloup had to
choose between the loss of his popularity
or his liberty, he chose to lose the former
instead of the latter.
At last the torture of wondering how
much Kitty knew was too much for him,
and he determined to go to the Melbourne
gaol and interview her. So he obtained
an order from the authorities to see her
and prepared to start next morning. He
sent the servant out for hanson and by
the time it was at the door NJ. Vandeloup,
cool, calm and we'll dressed came down
stirs pulling on his gloves. The first thing
ne saw when he got outside was Pierre
waiting for him with his old hat pulled
down over his eyes, and his look of sullen
resignation. CASTOR nodded coolly to him
and fold the cabby he wanted to go to the
Melbourne gaol, whereupon Pierre slouch-
ed forward as the young man was prepar-
ing to enter the cab and laid his hand on
his arm.
"Well," said Vandeloup, In quiet
! voice, in French, shaking off the dumb
mans arm, what do you wantW
Pierre pointed to the cab, whereupon
NJ. vandeloup shrugged his shoulders.
Surely you don't want to come 10 the
gaol with me-" he said, mockingly, you'll
get there soon enough"
The other nodded and made a step to-
ward the cab, but Vandeloup pushed him
back.
| "Well," he muttered to himself, "rl
have to humor him or he'll be making O
scene-you can't come," he added aloud
but Pierre still refused to 60 away.
This conversation. or rather monologue
was carried on in French, so the cabmar
and the servant at the door were quite ig
norant of its purport, but looked rather
astonished at the conduct of the dirty
tramp toward such an elegant hooking gen
tleman. Vandeloup saw this and tAere

CHAPTER XXvIII.-(Continued.)
By FsrSts.s Hume

CHAPTER, XXyIII.-(C (Continued.)
Kitty Marchurst heard all this evidence
In dumb horror. She now knew that after
running her life this man wanted her to
die felon's death. She arose to her feet
and stretched out her hands in protest
against him, but before she could speak a
word the place seemed to. whirl round her,
and she fell down In dead faint. This
event caused great excitement In court,
and many began to assert positively that
she must be guilty, else why did she faint
Kitty was taken out of court, and the ex-
animation was proceeded with, while Mad
anne Midas sat pale and horror-struck at
the revelations which were now being
made.
Vandeloup further deposed that the
bottle Kitty took from his desk was quite
full and, moreover, when the other bottle
which had been found in her room was
shown to him, he declared that it was as
nearly as possible the same size as the
missing bottle. So the inference drawn
from this was that the bottle produced
being three-quarters empty, some of the
poison had been used.
The question now arose that, as the
guilt of Miss Marchurst seemed so GER
tain, how was it that Selma Sprotts was
poisoned instead of her mistress? But
this was settled by Madame Midas, who,
being recalled, deposed that Kitty did not
know Selma slept with her on that night,
and the curtains being drawn, could not
possibly tell two people We're in the bed.
This was all the evidence obtainable,
apd the coroner now proceeded to sum up.
The jury retired, and the court was
very much excited. Every one was quite
certain that Kitty was guilty, but there
was a strong feeling against NJ. Vande-
loup as having been in some measure the
cause, though indirectly, of the crime.
But that young gentleman, in accordance
with his usual foresight, had left the
court and gone straight home, as he had
no wish to face crowd of sullen faces,
and perhaps worse. Madame Midas sat
still in court awaiting the return of the
Jury, with the calm face of marble
sphinx. But, though she suffered no ap-
pearances of suffering were seen on her
serene face. She never had believed in
human nature. and now the girl whom she
had rescued from comparative poverty
and placed in Opulence had wanted to
kill her. With clasped hands, aching
heart, but passive face, she sat waiting
for the end.
The jury returned In about half an
hour and there was a dead silence as the
foreman stood up to deliver the verdict
The jury found as follows:
That the deceased, Selma Jane Sprotts,
died on the 21st day of November, from
the effects of poison, namely, COMA, felo-
niously administered by one Katherine
Marchurst, and the jury, on their oaths,
say that the said Katherine Marchurst
feloniously, wilfully and maliciously did
murder the said deceased.
That evening Kitty was arrested and
lodged in the Melbourne Jail, to await her
trial on a charge of willful murder.
