Between Ourselves.

The girls who win their way into the
the Utmost recess of others hearts are
not usually the most brilliant and gift
ed. but those who have sympathy, pa
thence, self-forgetfulness and that indie
Unable faculty of eliciting the better
nature of others.
Most Of us know girls who have ap-
pealed to US in this way. We have
many friends who are more beautiful
and gifted, but there is not one of them
whose companionship we enjoy better
than that of the girl who perhaps
never makes a witty or profound re-
mark. but whose simple quality Of hu-
man goodness makes up for every other
deficiency.

stress when we felt that we needed

at the criminal as If he would read the

McGloin turned around deliberately
to see what the 'pawnbrokcr had left.
It was the pistol with which he had
killed iIalner.
Byrnes remained perfectly silent.
This unnatural quiet was too much
for McGloin. He burst out vehement.

and put the weapon in his hands,

McGlon shuddered and pushed the
weapon back into the hands Of the
inspector.
Once more Byrnes sat down in his
chair facing McGloin.
More silence.
Presently the inspector spoke again.

his sclfpossession he sat down and
confessed in detail the story of the
murder OF Louis Hanier.
1t appears that the four rowdcs
had been "spotting' the shop Of the
French wine seller for many days.
They believed that he would have a
large sum OF money In the house at
the close of the holiday trade, and
they deliberately conceived the plan
of robbng the old man. They knew
enough about their unlawful trade to
get into the shop without difficulty.
They had been drinking. At any rate,
they made SO much noise they reused

he rolled down the stairs a Iifclcss

This, In substance, was the confes.
sion as it was CLEANED from the lips
of the murderer and his confederates.
His one cry to Inspector Byrnes was:

But the grim detective. who had
forced the truth from unwilling lips.
made no reply to this hysterical APP

1t was then administered.
He was hanged by the neck until
