The woman asserts that the mans
death was the result of quarrel which
took place about midnight and that IN
self defence she struck him with the
butcher knife, piercing the heart.

Guarding the Money.

There are plenty of ingenious burg
lars in the world, but he would have 10
lie u very ingenious burglar indeed who
should find a way to rob the Bank of
France. The measures taken for guard
ing the money are of such nature that
burglary would seem to he impossible.
Every day when the money is put into
the vaults in the cellar, and before the
officers leave, masons are in attendance
whose duty it is to wall up the doors OF
the vaults with hydraulic mortar. Wa
ter is then turned on, and kept running
until the cellar is flooded. A burglar
would thus have to work in diving
suit, and break down cement wall be-
fore he could even begin 10 break into
the vaults. When the officers arrive the
next morning the water is drawn oil,
the masonry torn down, and the vaults
opened. 1t is said that the treasures OF
the Bank Of France are better guarded
than any others in the world.-Youth's

An Appavition.

This is a true English ghost story Of
an unconventional kind. A young lady
arrived late at night on visit to IL
friend. She awoke in the darkness to

bed. While she watched the bedclotheS

partition vanished. After an anxious,
not to say chilly, night the visitor
went down, with little appetite. TO
breakfast. At the table she was intro
duced to gentleman, very old friend
of the family, who had, she learned,
also been sleeping in the house. He
complained of the cold. 81 hope you
will excuse me-" he said, to the hostess.
"but found it so cold during the night
that, knowing the room next mine was
unoccupied, / took the liberty of going
in and carrying off the bedclothes to
supplement my own" The room, as it
happened. was not unoccupied, but he
never learned his mistake.-San Fran

his Woodworking father, began to pos
sess him, breaking the bonds of habit
and lifting him out of the rut of in
trospection. One morning he forgot
to count his pulse, and the daily analy
sis of his symptoms was omitted for
the first time in weeks; and that night
he slept with open windows, through
which the cool breeze from the noun
tain blew across the bed, and no harm
came of it. He was too busy to think
much about his infirmity at the time,
but week later he stepped upon the
patent weighing-machine in the ro-
tunda of the Johannesburg, and when
the pointer failed to record the usual
decrease he went to his room ana
dropped the half-used bottle of hypo-
phosphites into the CRATE. That was
the turning Of the tide, and by the
time his fellow-migrants in the exotic
city were beginning to wilt under the
fervid summer sun, Philip was growing
stronger in body and saner in mind;
finding certain tonic in a series of de-
fcats which were sharp enough to slim
ulate without being heavy enough to
crush.
And while he wrestled with the diff
ficulties of the legal problem, the fire
burned within him, consuming some
rubbish and shedding new light into
the duslly corners of the soul-chamber
hitherto obscured by the shadows of iii
health and morbidness. The light was
not altogether welcome, though it ma
terially lessened the distance between
the ostensible Philip and Philip the
real. For one thing, it belittled the mo-
tive which was responsible for his
work. Allowing the promptings of
common humanity their full weight,
the fact remained that his enthusiasm
had for its starting-point a desire to
win the approval of Elsie Duncan.
That was the new ideal, and his saner
| thought told him that il was wretched-
ly inadequate; that it sprang from I'M
pulse and was degraded in the hour
of it's birth by unfaith. Unworthy as
it was, it was still an ideal, and Philip
dashed himself into a small fury OF
self-contempt when he discovered thar
it was no longer the motive for his
exertions; that Elsie's appreciation and
Kilgrow's wrongs were secondary con-
siderations in comparison with the
strenuous urgings of n newly aroused
ambition squirting him on to wiring VIC
tory out of defeat for victory's sake.

When that was done, Philip found
himself once more among the uncer-
tainties, but he made another journey
10 the courthouse for the purpose of
copying the missing documents from
the records. For tive days he pored
over these copies in his room at the ho-
tel, searching with infinite patience for
some clew that would point the way
out of the tangle. A copy of copy
proved to be barren of suggestion, but
he made n memorandum of the attest
ing notary's name, and on the third day
he paid visit to Squire Pragmore.
Nothing came of it, however. The
notary's replies grew more indefinite
as the inquiry progressed. His memory
was at fault; he had acknowledged so
many papers for the town company
that he could not be expected to recol-
lect the details of any one transaction.
Thorndyke called attention to the fact
that the older deed antedated by sew
eral years the beginning of the rush of
business brought by the transfers of
the town company; whereupon Prag-
more took another tack. 1t was too
long ago. He had doubtless acknowl-
edged Kilgrow's signature, but he
could remember none of the circum-
stances.
Thorndyke was baffled again, but an
other clew came to the surface when he

MRS. CARRIE NATION DEAD.
Famous WieIder of Hatchet Dies a
Mental Wreck in a sanitarium.

Carrie Nation, who gained celebrity
by her use of Ratchet in the cause
of prohibition, died in Leavenworth,
Kas.. in the Evergreen sanitarium
She was admitted to the sanitarium
January 22 suffering from nervous
breakdown
Although it has been reported sew
eral times that she was dead,
her death was not expected until
several days ago.
Mrs. Nation in the sanitarium was
incapable of even managing her own
business affairs. All trace OF the
bold prohibition worker had disap-
peared when her iron constitution be-
gan to fail and she spent the last
five months of her life in seclusion,
no one but relatives and hospital at
tendants being allowed to see her.
When told several days ago that she
would die, Mrs. Nation made no COM
ment. Only DR.. A. l.. Suwalksy and
nurse were with her when death
came.

Two days later, Philip was once more
established at the Hotel Johannesburg,
with the hustle and stress of the new
city already beginning to efface the
memory of the quiet days spent at the
Duncan farm. The changes wrought in
the few weeks were almost incredible.
The encroaching food of buildings had
spread out over the vacant spaces; new
structures of preposterous height and
bulk reared themselves in localities
where Philip remembered seeing the
green grass of the meadow or the stub
BILE of last years cornfield. The streets
were in the chaotic condition which
precedes the laying of pavements; the
gas and water companies rivaling each
other in making the roadway impossible
during the hurried trenching for pipes
and conduits. The daily auction-sales
CT real estate continued, but they had
been driven from the busy business
center, and Mr.. Fench's rostrum APP
reared only in the suburbs of Chelten-
ham Heights, Arlington Terrace, or
Chiwassee-by-the-St
Notwithstanding the pressure of n
speculative atmosphere which might
we'll have turned more steadfast man
aside, Philip held steadily to the pur-
pose which had taken him back to
town. He examined the records in the
old courthouse, and found that a deed
in Kilgrow's name had been duly en-
tered with that drawn by Gates, and the
MI II iO ~ t1
both documents had been recorded on
the same day. In the light of Kilgrow's
denial, the appearance on the record Of
the older deed established the fact of
forgery on The part of some one; and
while the presumption of guilt pointed
toward Gates, the anonymous letter to
Duncan fortunately saved Philip from
being led astray at the outset.
Assuming that the deeds themselves
were in the hands of the manager, Philip
called upon F'ench in the character of a
possible purchaser of real estate.
Eyes, yes; remember you-came up
On the train with you. Thought you'd
come around after you'd seen what

voluble, and it was some time before
Philip could find space to drive in the
wedge of rejoinder. 'Of course; glad

"a month ago 1 should have laughed
at you, Mr.. Fench; now, shall only say
that think you're little ahead of the
market"
Whereupon the manager leaned back,
threw one leg over the arm of his chair,
and proceeded to demonstrate by an
argument in which volubility outran
itself that the price asked was conser-

The visitor listened patiently, and for
once in his life-having definite object
in view-forgot to be bored. When the

LOSS AND GAIN.

II was early in July when Philip
began The campaign of restoration. He
made up his mind in the beginning
that IL was TO be n race with death,
and, believing this, he did not spare
himself, though the heat during the
weeks that followed was terrific. II
was n dry summer, and in drought
the climate of the Chiwassec valley is,
to say the least, something less than
invigorating. For the first fortnight
Philip went about with the feeling that
the next day would finish him. Then.

side toward accomplishment grew into
