she was named. She was the daughter
of a wealthy English landowner and
returned with her parents to England
when a child. She early displayed an
inclination toward philanthropy, and
was the first woman to follow a modern
army into battle as a nurse. Although
her father was a very wealthy man.
she insisted On learning all that there
was to be learned about the profession
of nursing and became famous as a
"probationer'' in London hospitals. La.
ter on she went to France and subse-
quently to Germany. A few years later
she was in Africa nursing Arabs with
such effect, says one of her biograph-
ers, that the Moslems were almost
convinced that the woman had a

commission.
October Is, 1854, Miss Nightingale
set forth on her errand of mercy at
the head of a corps of "a women nurses

time she had four miles Of wounded

soon after this letters began coming
in hundreds into the homes of England
which established permanently in the
hearts OF the people the supremacy Of
Florence Nightingale among all Eng.

In August. 1856, Miss Nightingale re-
turned to England. "A grateful country
would have welcomed her royalty, but

SYNOPSIS.

Miss Innes, spinster and guardian OF
Gertrude and Halsey, established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. The servants
desert. Gertrude and Halsey arrive Win
Jack Bailey. The house was awakened py
a revolver shot and Arnold Armstrong
was found shot to death in the hail. MISS
Innes found Halsey's revolver on the
lawn. He and Jack Bailey had disap-
peared. Gertrude revealed that she was
engaged to Jack Bailey, with whom sne
talked in the billiard room shortly beIore
the murder. Detective Jameson accused
Miss lines OF holding back evidence. he
imprisoned an intruder in an empty room.
The prisoner escaped. Gertrude was sus-
pected because of an injured foot. Hal
sey ~reappears and says he and Barley
were called away by a telegram. Cashier
Bailey of Paul Armstrong BANK, de-
funct, was arrested for embezziement
Paul Armstrong; death was ~announced;
Halsey's fiancee, Louise Armstrong, tolo
Halsey that while she still loved him, she
was to marry another. 1t developed that

found at the bottom of the circular STAIR
case. Recovering consciousness, she SAID

stairway and she tainted. Bailey is sus-
pected of Armstrong; murder. AFTER
Seeing a ghost" Thomas. the lodgekeep-
er, was found lead with a slip In ms
pocket bearing the name wal

vacate in favor of Mrs. Armstrong. Sne
refused. A note from Bailey to Gertrude
arranging a meeting at night was found.
The Tupelo journal., 1910-09-09

But there was no help for it; I
turned and followed Gertrude slowly
back to the house.
The frequent invasions of the house
had effectually prevented any relaxa-
ton after dusk. We had redoubled u
vigilance as to bolts and window
locks, but. as Mr.. Jameson had sug-
gested, we allowed the door at the
east entry to remain as before, locked
by the Yale lock only. To provide only
one possible entrance for the invader,
and to keep a constant guard in the
dark at the foot of the circular stair
case, seemed to be the only method.
In the absence of the detective,
Alex and Halsey arranged to change
off, Halsey to be on duty from ten to
two, and Alex from two until six.
Each man was armed, and, as an ad-
ditional precaution, the n off duty
slept in a room near the head of the
circular staircase and kept his door
open, to be ready for emergency.

Ingenious Burglar Alarm.

The simple burglar alarm that has
been under test by the police authori.
ties in Dresden and Berlin seems to
have resisted al. attempts to pass
without giving warning. 1t consists
of a curtain or portiere, wired with
fine conductors connected at certain
places with metal knobs, and when
this is drawn across the door OF win
dow, or around the safe, the slightest
disturbance throws the knobs out Of
contact and breaks the electric cir
cult. The alarm may be signalled
by a series of bells, lights, n other
electric appliances, either on the
premises or at the police station.
Cutting the material or interfering
with it in the slightest degree, has in
slant effect, and the widest burglar is
unable to enter the premises having
this apparently trifing protection
without giving notice.

CHAPTER xxi.
A Ladder Out of Place.

~ GduuCT OuI VI fldCCs
At dinner Mr.. Jameson suggested
sending a man out in his place for a
couple of days, but Halsey was GER
tain there would be nothing more,
and felt that he and Alex could man
age the situation. The detective went
back to town early in the evening, and
by nine o'clock Halsey, who had been
playing golf-as a mar does anything
to take his mind away from trouble
was sleeping soundly on the big leath-
er davenport in the living room.
l sat and knitted, pretending not to
notice when Gertrude got up and wan
dered out into the starlight. As soon
as | was satisfied that she had gone,
however, / went out cautiously. 1 had
no intention of eaves-dropping, but I
wanted to be certain that it was Jack
Bailey she was meeting. Too many
things had occurred in which Ger
trude was, or appeared to be, involved,
to allow anything to be left in ques-
ton.
/ went slowly across the lawn, skir-
ed the hedge to a break not far from
the lodge, and found myself on the
open road. Perhaps 100 feet to the
left the path led across the valley to
the Country club, and only a little
way off was the ~foot-bridge over Cas-
anoya creek. But just as / was about
to urn down the path / heard steps
coming toward me, and / shrank into
the bushes. 1t was Gertrude, going
back quickly toward the house.
/ was surprised. I waited until she
had had time to get almost to the
house before / started. And then /
stepped back again into the shadows.
The reason why Gertrude had not
kept her tryst was evident. Leaning
on the parapet of the bridge in the
moonlight, and smoking a pipe, was
Alex, the gardener. I could have
throttled Liddy for her c~arelessness
in reading the torn note where he
could hear. And / could cheerfully
have choked Alex to death for his
audacity.

Confused.

All Of us become confused and all OF
us mix our language sometimes, but
the preparation of an old negro
preachers sermon was the greatest
confusion of metaphors l ever heard,
says a traveller. When the lengthy dis
course was nearing its close and he
had reached his "Twenty-third and
lastly, brethren" he wound up by the
following elaborate figure:
"Everywha, bredren, we e de al
mighty-all down de u%ntrodden paths
of time, we see de footprints of de
Almighty hand."-Human Life.
The Tupelo journal., 1910-09-09

These arrangements were carefully
kept from the servants, who were only
commencing to sleep at night, and
who retired, one and all, with barred
doors and lamps that burned full until
morning.
The house was quiet again Wednes-
day night. 1t was almost a week since
Louise had encountered some one on
the stairs, and it was four days since
the discovery of the hole in the trunk
room wall. Arnold Armstrong and
his father rested side by side in the
Casanova c~hurchYard, and at the Zion
African church, on the hill, a new
mound marked the last resting-place
of poor Thomas.
Louise was with her mother in
town, and, beyond a polite note of
thanks to me, we bad heard nothing
from her. DR.. Walker had taken up
his practice again, and we saw him
always at top speed. The murder of
Arnold Armstrong was still ~unavenged,
and I remained firm in the position l
had taken-to stay at Sunnyside until
the thing was at least partly cleared.
And yet, for all its quiet, it was on
Wednesday night that perhaps the
boldest attempt was made to enter
the house. On Thursday afternoon
the laundress sent word she would
like to speak to me, and / saw her in
my private sitting room, a small DOM
beyond the dressing room.
Mary Anne was embarrassed. She
had rolled down her sleeves and tried
a white apron around her waist, and
she stood making folds in it with fin
gers that were red and shiny from her
soap-suds.

a nervous habit of looking first at my
one eye and then at the other, her

myself doing the same thing. No,
