tence for murder which is seems
he did not commit, Andrew 10th has
been told that his sons have secured
the confession of a man in Hungary
that he committed the crime for
which 10th was convicted.
Twenty years ago this month Mi.
chaei Quinn, a watchman at the
Braddock mills of the Carnegie Steel
company, was mysteriously murdered.
Circumstances pointed to Andrew
10th, Michael Sobolosky and George
Rosner. They were convicted of the
crime and sentenced to be hanged.
Dut Governor Pattison committed the
sentence to life Imprisonment.
When convicted 10th made an ad.
dress In court In which he said he was
as innocent as child. He called upon
his little children never to rest until
his name had been cleared.
The two men sentenced with 10th
were released after they had served
about ten years, and they joined the
four sons of 10th in their search for
the man guilty of Staying Quinn. The
six men pooled their earnings and
energies, covering the world several
times. ~
Some months ago two of the sons
came across a man named 10th in
Hungary They gained his confidence
and on what he thought was his death

According to the sons he is now liv-

In the clear light her eyes shone
lustrous, pools of tawny flame; her
hair showed itself of rich and
luminous coppery hue, spun to i'm
measurable fineness; a faint color
burned in her cheeks, but in contrast
her forehead was as snow-the pure,
white, close-grained skin that is the
heritage of red-headed women the

as' well; while her lips
AS for her lips, the most coherent
statement to be extracted from Mr..
Maitland is to the effect that they
were altogether desirable, from the
very first.
The hauteur of her pose, the sym.
pathy and laughter that lurked in her
mouth, the manifest breeding in the
delicate modelling of her nostrils, and
the firm, straight arch of her nose the
astonishing alluremept of her eyes
combined with. their spirited womanli

sudden endowed with a painful appre

littleness of his ego, 1.-The inherent
coarseness of his masculine fiber, the
poor futility of his ways, contrastet
with her perfections. He felt as If re
buked for some unwarrantable pre-
SUMPTION. {. For he had looked
into eyes that were windows of a soul;
and the soul was that of a child, un
sullied and immaculate.
You may smile; but as for Maitland
he deemed it no laughing matter. From
that moment his perception was cleal
that, whatever she might claim to be
however damning the circumstance!

was no evil in her.
But what he did not know, and dit
