from the dining.room where they had

Have you settled It beyond dispute

Does that frighten you? Are you
% Affected by the thought Of blood!"
Don't ask me. And put the thing

80 pretty"
Mrs. Watkins" Mr.. Gryce from
mat moment ignored the daughter.
"did you see It there"
Yes: but didn't know where 1t
came from. ! had not seen my daugh.
ter stoop. didn't know where she
got It till l read that bulletin"
Never mind that The question
lgttating me is whether any stain was
left under that pillow"
Il didn't see any stain. but you can
look for yourself. The bed has been
made up. but there was no change Of
linen. We expected to remain here;
see no good to be gained by hiding
any Of the facts now."
None whatever. madam"
Come. then. Caroline, sit down
and stop crying. Mr.. Gryce believes
that your only fault was in not taking
this object at once to the desk"
"Yes. that's ALL" acquiesced the de.
tective after short study Of the shak.
ing figure and distorted features Of
the girl. "You had no idea, I'm sure,
where this weapon came from or for
what It had been used. That's evi.
dent"
Her shudder. as she seated herself,
was very convincing. She was too
young to simulate so successfully emo.
lions OF this character.
I'm glad Of that" she responded,
half fretfully. half gratefully. as Mr..
Gryce followed her mother into the
adjoining room. I've had a bad
enough time Of 1t without being
blamed for what / didn't know and
didn't do."
Mr.. Gryce laid little stress upon
these words. but much upon the lack
Of curiosity she showed In the min.
ute and careful examination he now
made Of her room. There was no
stain on the pillow.cover and none on
the bureau-spread where she might
very naturally have laid the cutter
down on first coming into her room.
The blade was SO polished that 1t
must have been rubbed of some.
where. either purposely or by acci.
dent.
They returned to where the girl still
sat. wrapped in her cloak. sobblng
still, but not so violently.
"Will-will he tell?" she whispered.
The answer came quickly, but not
In the mothers tones. Mr.. Gryce's
ears had lost none OF their ancient
acuteness.
Il do not see that l should gain
much by doing so. The one discov.
cry which would link this find of yours
indissolubly with Miss Challoner's
death. ! have failed to make. Do you
remember the exact spot where you
stopped. Miss Watkins?"
No, no. Somewhere near those big
chairs; l didn't have to step out Of
my way: really didn't"
Mr.. Gryce's answering smile was a
study. 1t seemed to convey a two.fold
message. one for the mother and one
for the child. and both were comfort.
ing. But he went away. disappointed.
The clue which promised so much
vas. to all appearance. a false one.
He coule soon tell.

CHESTER'S SALARY RAISED
Columbus Church Advanced 1t From
So, 900 to $4,000. Is Winning
His Way Rapidly.

The friends in Dawson of Rev. O..
B. Chester, who served the Methodist
church here four years as pastor, will
read with interest the following from
recent issue of the Columbus
Ledger;
cat a meeting of the board OF
stewards of st. Luke Methodist
church held last night the salary of
the pastor was raised from $4,000
to $4,000 annually.
There were a number of matters
of business considered by the board
of stewards, but the raising of the
pastors salary was perhaps of more
Importance than any other matter
that came up for consideration. The
membership of st. Luke has been
paying the pastor $4,000 per year for
several years, but for some days the
members of the board of steward
and other members of the church
| have had the matter of raising the
pastors salary under consideration.
The increase of $500 in the sal
airy of the pastor of St Luke makes
that the largest salary paid by any
church in the city, as the church fur
nishes its pastor with home and
ether necessities that add several
hundred dollars yearly to the salary
making it one of the most attractive
pulpits in Georgia from financial
standpoint.
Rev. o. B. Chester, the new pas
tor of ST. Luke, is winning his way
into the hearts of the membership
rapidly, and has entered upon a pas
torate that is sure to mean great
things for the entire church and the
people of the city"
