 "If it's mineral water I said, you'd better let me open it.''
 She watched me suspiciously while II strengthened the nails she had bent and lifted the boards. The article that had smashed under the vigor of Miss Letitia's seventy years had been tea. pot of some very beautiful ware. l have called just now from nay study to ask what sort of ware it was, and the lady who sets me right says it was crown Derby Then there were rows of cups and saucers and heterogeneous articles in the same material that the women folk seemed to understand. At the last, when the excitement seemed over, they found a toast rack in a lower corner of the box, and. the 'Ohsr' and "Ahsr' had to be done all over again.
 There was not the slightest clew to the sender: but. while Miss Letitia rat. ed Hepple loudly in the kitchen and Bella swept up the hall, Margery voic- ed the same idea that had occurred to me-
 Tiff Aunt Jane were all right" she said tremu1ously, ''it would be just the sort of thing she loves to do.''
 ''I'm not pretending to know what took Jane Maitland away from this house in the middle of the night" said Miss Letitia, "She was a good bitsof a fool, Jane was. She never grew up. But if I know. Jane Maitland, she will come back and be buried with her peo- pie if it's only to put Marys husband out of the end of the lot. And another thing, Knox. told you the last time you were here that hadn't been rob bed of any of the pearls, after all. Half of those pearls were Jane's, and she had perfect right to take forty nine Of them if she wanted. She-she told me she was going to take sone, and 1t slipped my mind"
 believe it was the first lie she had ever told in her hard, conscientious old life. Was she right7 I wondered Had Miss Jane taken the pearls, and if she had, why?

St. Louis, Mo. July 31.-Missouri chickens, than which there are no bet ter in the world, are limping about their barnyards these days-some merely with a pained look in their eyes, others cackling aloud in their trials. and some scratching about for wood that might suffice as a crutcn. They have the. gouts
 ; That is vouched for by 8 report to the State Department of Husbandry which shows the crop of spring chickens is being considerably re- duced by the propensity of the elders to live too high.

ETATARDROP got back about 5, SRk and as Miss Letitia was in WV the middle of a diatribe
 against white undergar- ments for colored children Margery and he had half hour alone together. I had known, of course, that it must come, but under the circumstances, with my whole future existence at stake, was vague as to whether it was colored undergarments on white k orphans or the pther way round. E When got away at last I found Bel Fla waiting for me in the hall. Her eyes were red with crying, and she had a crunipled newspaper in her hand. She broke down when she tried to speak, but got the newspaper from her. and she pointed with one work hardened finger to a column on the. first page. 1t was the announcement of Mrs. Buffers tragic accident and the mystery that surrounded it. There was no mention of Schwartz. Bella told me that she had lived with Mrs. Butler since she was sixteen and had only left when the husbands sui eide had broken up the home. I could get nothing else out of her, but grad ually Bella's share in the mystery was coming to light
 Wardrop was, looking better that aft ernoon than he had when saw him before, but the news of Mrs. Buffers l approaching death and the manner of her injury affected him strangely. He had seen the paper. like Bella, and he turned on me almost fiercely when I entered the library. Margery was at the window.
 'sIs che conscious?" wardrop asked eagerly, indicating the article in the paper
 "No, not now; at least, it Is not like ly."
 He looked relieved. Then he paced the room nervously. His next action showed the development of a resolu- tion, for he pushed forward two chairs for Margery and myself
 s'Sit down, both of yor," he directed. ''I've got lot to say, and want you both to listen. When Margery has heard the whole story she probably will despise me for the rest of her life. I can't help it. I've got to tell all know, and it isn't so much after all You didn't fool me yesterday, Knox; knew what that doctor was after But he couldn't make me tell who killed Mir. Fleming because, before God, didn't know.
 T have togo back to the night Miss Jane disappeared--an that's another thing that has driven me desperate Will you tell me why I should be sus- pected of having a hand in that when she had been mother to mel If she is dead she can't exonerate me; if she. is living and we find her she will tell you what I tell yeu--that I know nothing of the whole terrible business"
 T am quite certain of that, War; drop interposed Besides, think I have got to the bottom of that mys. tery."
 Margery looked at me quickly, but shook nay head. It was too early to tell my suspicious.
 "The things that looked black against me were bad enough, but they had nothing to do with Miss Jane I will have, to go back to before the night she went away, back to the time MT. Butler was the state treasurer and your father. Margery. was his. cashier. Gro Be Continued.l
