am leaving to unknown trouble and
danger
"She was not to be comforted- I
saw her life ebbing and could do
nothing. She chung to me while she
called up all her powers and made
plans for me and showed me a way Of
escape. I was TO burn the note, fling
two of the glasses from the window
and leave the other and the deadly
vial near her hand-this before l
left the room. Then I was to call up
the police and say there was some
thing wrong at the clubhouse, but I
was not to give my name or ever ac-
knowledge I was there. Nothing can
save trouble she said, but that trou-
BILE must not come near you. Swear
that you will heed my words-swear
that you will do what 1 say
Il swore. All that she asked I prom
fsed. I was almost dying, too, and
had the light gone out and the rafters
Of the house fallen In and buried US
both it would have been better. But
the light burned on. and the life in
her eyes faded out, and the hands
graspfng mine relaxed. I heard one
little gasp, then a low prayer, Tell
Arthur never-never-again to- Then

lence in the courtroom too. 1t was
broken but by one sound-a heart
rending sigh from the prisoner. But
nobody looked at him, and nobody
looked at me. Every eye was on the
face Of this young girl whose story
bore such an impress OF truth and yet
was so contradictory Of all former evt
dence. What revelations were yet to
follow? 1t would seem that she was
speaking of her sisters death.
But her sister had not died that way
her sister had been s%trangied. Could
this dainty creature, with beauty
SCARED and yet powerfully triumphant,
be the victim Of a ha1ucination, or did
she seek to mislead justice and to con
ceal truth?
At a question from Mr.. Motfat she
spoke again, and we heard her say:
Yes, she died that way, with her
hands in mine. There vas no one else
by. We were quite alone"
That settled 1t, and for a moment
the revulsion of feeling threatened to
throw the court into tumult.
Can you fix the hour Of this oc-
currence?" Mr.. Mofat asked. I'm any
way can you locate the timer"
mo, for I did not move at once I
felt tied to that couch. l am very
young, and l had never seen death
before. When I did get up I hobbled
like an old woman and almost went
distracted. but came to myself as
saw the note on the foor-the note
was told to burn. Lifting 1t, l moved
toward the fireplace, but got a fright
on the way and stopped in the middle
Of the floor and looked back. I thought
I had heard my sister speak.
But the fancy passed as I saw how
still she lay, and I went on after awhile

the fire. | saw it caught by a draft
from the door behind me and go fam

Some of my trouble seemed TO go
with the note, and l lifted q pillow from
the window seat near by and covered
her face. l must have done more. l
must have covered the whole lounge
with pillows and cushions, for pres
emily my mind cleared again, and l
recoIlected that it was something about
the poison. I was to put the vial in

Fixinq Up the Lawn.

bN''
Every old lawn should NV be re
paired. Fertilizer should applied,
and thin portions should be eeded.
II seed was sown last fall for q new
la wn watch it carefully when 1t be-
gins to sprout und reseed tine portions
where the first seeding fails to come
up.
If 1t is desired to make a new lawn
take great care In preparing for 1t.
Have the ground prepared as soon as
1t can be worked. See that 1t Is graded
properly, smoothing over all rough
surfaces. making level spaces and gen.
tie slopes. The lawn should slope
away from the house II possible. In
grading the aim should be to distrib-
ute evenly all surface water, avoiding
the formation Of little runs which
might produce washouts.
Where the soil Is lacking In humus
1t Is essential that 1t be enriched with
a plentiful supply Of well rotted ma
nure. II humus Is present bonemeal
or other good fertilizer Is useful. The
ground should be spaded or plowed
not less than eight inches deep, all
stones and similar material removed,
Jumps broken up and the surface
smoothed. Then 1t is ready for seed
ing.
Use a good lawn mixture. Four
parts Kentucky blue grass with one
part white clover, sown not less than
five bushels to the acre, is good. Red
top instead Of the blue grass or equal
parts Of red top and blue grass pro-
duce good results. Use plenty Of seed
and nothing but pure seed.

1877 Embroidery Design for scallops.
Empire styles are exceedingly fashionable
for little girls. This dress IS exceptionally
smart. 1t includes the high waist line and It
also includes the peasant sleeves. The skirt
portion can be shtrred at the upper edge
or simply gathered and 1t will be found
adapted to a variety OF materials. In the
illustration 1t is made OF one throughout,
but it would be pretty for combinations
The yoke with sleeves and panels could
be made from allover embroidery or other
fancy material, while the rest Of the dress
Is made from plain lawn, or the yoke and
panel could be embroidered or braided. If
liked the dress can be made high at the
neck, but the round line is always pretty
and always attractive and is much liked.
The dress is made with yoke and panel
that are cut in one piece and with skirt
portions that are straight and gathered at
their upper edges. In this instance, the
edges of the yoke and panel are scalloped,
but they can be finish ed in any way to suit
the fancy.
For the four year size will be needed. )

her hand-or was I to throw it from
the window? Something was to be
thrown from the window-it must be
the vial. But 1 couldn't lift the win
dow, so, having found the vial stand
ing on the table beside the little flask,
l carried II into the closet where there
was a window opening inward, and
I dropped 1t out Of that and thought I
mad done all. But when l came back
and saw AdeIaiGe's coat lying in a
heap where she had thrown it l re-
called that she had said something
about this, but what I didn't know. So
I lifted it and put it in the elOset-why
I cannot say. Then I set my mind on
going home.
But there was something to do first
something not in that room. 1t was
to telephone the police. l seized the
receiver, and when central answered
said something about the Whispering
Pines and wanting help. This is all l
remember about that.
Some time afterwardI don't know
when-I was stumbling down The stairs
on my way out. 1 had gone toto the
room again for my little bag, for the
keys were in it, and 1 dared not leave
them. But didn't stay q minute, and
1 cast but one glance at the lounge.
What happened afterward is like q
dream to me. I found the horse, the
horse found the road, and some time
later l reached home. As 1 came with
in sight of the house I grew suddenly
strong again. The open stable door re-
minded me of my duty, and, driving In,
I quickly embarrassed Jenny and put
der away. Then I dragged the : eEo
into place and hung up the harness.
Lastly I locked the door and carried
the key with me into the house and
hung 1t up on its usual nail In the
kitchen. 1 had obeyed Adelaide, and
now I would go to my room. That is
what she would wish. But I don't
know whether 1 did this or not. My
mind was full Of Adelaide till confu-
sion came, then darkness and then a
perfect blank"
She had finished; she had done as
she had been asked; she had told the
story Of that evening as she knew it
from the family dinner till her return
home after midnight, and the mystery
Of AdeIaide's death was IS great as
ever.
Mr.. District Attorney, the witness
Is yours" said Mr.. Mofat

nent was ripe for conquest. He put
his most vital question first:

It looked like marble as she lay there.
