Absolutely with growing cold

like the tone you use
"Indeedl Young man, am not
only her guardian, but am her flesh
and blood uncle; and do not pro-
pose that she shall bungle her future
by a marriage to you."
Not a word about the millions Zu-
dora thought hard for moment and
concluded it might be wise to say
nothing to her lover until she had this
fortune under her hand.
What if promise. never to marry
any one clse?" she said.
Hassam Ali shrugged Come,
come; be sensible. Until you both
get over this foolish idea, must re
quest that Mr.. Storm cease calling
here"
Every well, sir" said Storm angrily.
"But warn you that I shall see Zu
dora outside as often as she is kind
enough to permit me. Good evening""
Storm sent Zudora reassuring smile
as he left the room.
Certainly he would not have smiled
had he seen Hassam Ais mind at
that moment
What in the world have you against
John?" cried Zudora bewildercdly

Still, I forbid it; and legally it is
my right"
But love him. would not trade
him for the greatest prince in Chris

I'll marry no one"
"Wcll, WELL" said Hassam Ali, ap-
parently relenting; "if you take such
a stand I'll compromise.
She gazed at him eagerly. .
Solve my next 20 cases and you
can marry him; fail in any single case
and you must renounce him."
Zudora agreed instantly, even joy
ously. For long time she had been
seized with the desire to play the de-
tective; and her uncle had often ad-
mitted that her powers of logical de-
duction were remarkable in a woman
who, philosophers claimed, was with
out the faculty of sustained reasoning.
"It is really bargain?" with all the
confidence of youth,
"It is. If you are willing to risk
the dangers for the sake of a man
like. Storm, why, the choice is yours
Then he left her.

THE MYSTERY OF THE SPOTTED
COLLAR

GILLIAN
He laid his hand upon her dark head,
but he did not look down into the
youthful and beautiful face raised to-
ward his own. His fingers uncon-
sciously crept into the girls hair, a
trae too strongly for an affectionate
gesture.
What is it?" she asked, drawing
her head away quickly.
"A touch of rheumatism in my arm"
he said intuitively. "You know it
gives me twinge once in so often.
So you are Is years old?"
"And you said that on this day I
was to come into a fortune"
That is true. How much do you
think it is?"
"Oh, perhaps $50,OOO."
He laughed. Then he got UP and
began to walk the floor She watched
him curiously. He was plainly agi-
tated about something. After while
he paused before her
as it lost?" she asked.
mo, my child. 1t is the terrible re-
sponsibility which is about to rest
upon your young shoulders that
makes me sad. Tomorrow morning
your lawyers will inform you that
you are one of the richest heiresses in
America"
Uncle, don't make fun of mew re-
proachfully.
81 am telling you the truth. To
date Zudora has turned out something
like twenty millions. 1t was the express
will of your father to have this kept
quiet so that you would not be both
cred with fortune hunters Girl, you
will marry duke or a prince You
will become famous beauty. But
my advice is this: that until my guard
ianship ceases-you will be 21 then
you will say nothing to any one about
this fortune. 1t would make life un-
bearable for US BOTH"
"I'il gladly agree to that" she said
eagerly.
Whenever you require.a large sum
of money you will write the attorneys
and they will send it. Think of the
notoriety. the busy reporters, the
broten-down mobiles, INDECENT society
folkp
She laughed at the picture. He was
right. If she desired peace and COM
fort she must keep this fortune away
from the public eye.
"Zudora, there is one pleasant fancy
you must henceforth put entirely out
of your mind"
"And what is that"
This fancy for John Storm For
all that you have inherited this vast
sum of money, you are still under my
guardianship for three years"
What ZudoTa would have replied to
this half-veiied demand will never be
known The bell rang, and shortly
after that John Storm himself was
ushered into the room. Hassam Ali
nodded eoldly, but the girl sprang to.

smiled down at her. He made no ef-
fort to hide the alteration in his eyes.
"How's the case goings" she asked.
"Pretty well I think shall win /

Hassam Ais eyes narrowed. An

DEATH OF CAPT. GOODWIN.
Ellsworth Captain Receives Fatal
Injuries on Board His Vessel.

| Ellsworth Captain Receives Fatal
| Injuries on Board His Vessel.
| Capt Samuel A. Goodwin, of Ellsworth,
| died Monday evening at the Lawrence
hospital, in New London, Conn.,, of in
| juries received a few hours earlier on
board his vessel, the schooner Harry W.
| Haynes.
| The schooner, bound from West Sulli-
van for New York with stone, was pro-
ceeding up Long Island sound, and was
opposite Say brook, Conn.,, when the acci-
dent happened. Capt. Goodwin was
struck by the iy-wheel OF the hosting
| engine. receiving injuries from which he
was unconscious from the first. His son,
Capt. Sidney a. Goodwin, who was with
| him as mate, put in to Saybrook and
| hurried his father to the hospital at New
| London. He died soon after reaching the
hospital, without regaining conscious
ness.
The news of Capt. Goodwin's death was
| shock to Ellsworth, where he was so well
known and highly esteemed. His son,
Royal ]. Goodwin, left Monday night for
New London, and returned this morning
| with the body. Capt. Sidney Goodwin
| had to proceed with the vessel TO New
York.
Samuel A. Goodwin was born in Els
worth March IS, 1S43, and this had always
been his home, though he had spent many
years at sea. His first vessel was the
schooner City of Chelsea, built for him by
the Halls. Later he sailed the schooner
W lillian II. Archer, and for about eighteen
years had been master of the Harry w.
Haynes. Capt. Goodwin was a member of
Lygonia lodge, F. and A. NJ, and of VIM
II. FL. Rice post, G. A. R., having served in
| the navy during the Civil war.
He leaves a widow and three children
Royal J., Sidney A. and Ruth, all OF Ellis
worth. He is also survived by one brother
and six sisters - George Goodwin, of
Eureka, Cal, Mrs. Joseph Pomroy and
Mrs Curtis r. Foster, OF Ellsworth; Mrs.
Mary Usher, of Bangor; Mrs. Belle Clark
and Misses Sarah and Frances Goodwin,
of Lynn, Mass. The sympathy OF all goes
out to the family in their sudden bereave-
ment, and especially to the widow, upon
whom the blow falls so heavily.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
| been announced, as it is hoped Capt. Sid
ney Goodwin will reach New York in time
to return home for the funeral.

ELLSWORTH PUPILS.
School Census Shows Slight Falling
OF From Last Year.

OF From Last Year.
The Ellsworth school census this year
shows s62 children of school age, of whom
449 are boys and 413 girls. This is loss
from last year OF 27. There has been
falling off each year for some time, except
last. In 1910 there were 972 of school age;
in 1911, $50; 1912, SS5; in 1913, ss9, gain of
four.
Comparing this years figures and names
with last year, Superintendent of Schools
Henry w. Conley says:
"There were about 81 names placed
on the list of those who moved into Els
worth during the year; about so chill
dren became of school ago 6 years) -
total of 112 new names. But we lost
tifty-one by the maturing of ages
| (those who arrived at the age of 21), and
63 by removals from town; four have died,
three had to be counted out of last years
list because of a duplication of names,
mistake that can easily be made in hunt
ing, up hundreds of names, and IS have in
other ways disappeared and do not now
belong to US.
! 1.-THE above classification is not in every
way exact or clear, but is enough to
show the situation. The losses have been
mostly in wards 1 and 5, and in their out
| lying portions. From one section of ward
5, where SO were found last year, 15 have
moved to other towns. The city proper
and the Falls have held their own.
"What is the prospect for next year?
The present list shows about 81 who will
become q years old during the year. Will
there be new tive-year- to take their
placer"
