TURN OF FORTUNE
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH sAER.

Fifty against the dog" shouted
Matteo the Marksman.
Taken" In a mere careless drawl
came the reply from Arvidi, the game
ster.
1t was a typical Mexican scene
the interior OF the chief gambling den
at Truro and a critical stage OF the
game in progress.
Marvin Howe happened to be pres
ent amid that swarthy crew-a float
ing quantity in the general situation
involving warfare, anxious to get
North and out of it and the opportunity
offered just that day with decidedly
favorable change in fortune if he car
ried out secret instructions given to
him.
The position was this: The com
mandant of the sectional insurgents
wished to send particular message to
q co-patriot one hundred miles away.
1t involved a junction of the two

Howe engaged to cross the danger

upon. Within the private room Of thu

warded, returned to home, friends and
fiancee-to Nellie Duryea, the only
Nellie in the world to him beyond the
unsettled border line.
Howe had thought OF Matteo and
that was why he was now an inmate
of the noisy gambling den. He was
free rover. neutral, popular with both
sides of the insurrectionist party, he
knew the country like book and
Howe fancied felt friendly towards
him.
Howe had found him at the card
table pitting his money recklessly
against the most daring gambler IN
Truro. II was a strain on his patience
TO see him immersed in the cards. He
was in funds at the start and then
Howe saw his last dollar go, A nand'
some ring was staked, then his watch
and now his most faithful friend and
companion, the dog.
Everybody who knew Matteo knew
also his dog. The animal was tiny
but fearless and very intelligent. lie
was the constant companion of his
master, who had taught him all kinds
of cute tricks. With his unerring
craftsmanship, the man who could eIlp
a silver coin at fifty PAGES, combining
his show dog, could gather a crowd at
any time on the public plaza and could
have a royal salary in a vaudeville
/ sketch.
( The cards went the rounds again,
Natteo lost. Howe saw a strangely
desperate CLINT in his eye as he arose
unsteadily from the table, He turned
slightly pale. Then he shrugged bis
shoulders and wal6ed over and kissed
the little dog asleep on a pile Of news
papers. Straight as a soldier then, he
walked from the room,

"All right" nodded the gambler ana
then Howe snatched up the dog and
rushed after his master Howe over

Amigo" he said, folding his hand
In fervent grasp, when my fortune
turns shall know how to repay you.
81 can help 1t turn just now," re-
marked Howe significantly. Howe
knew he was man to be trusted. He
told him that he was authorized to pay
royalty for his guidance and direction.
81 can pilot you safely" he said-T
am your man"
1t was devious route, that by which
Matteo led Howe from Truro. His
| sole object seemed to be to eyade a
collision with marauding parties and
he succeeded famously in this The
third day out of Truro, however, an in
cident occurred that confirmed sus-
picion Howe had entertained ever
since starting on his present mission.
The morning they left Truro Howe
had noticed man he had seen hang
ing around the chiefs quarters dog
ging his footsteps. He had called the
attention of Matteo to this, who had
carelessly asserted that If he was one
of the numerous spies in action they
would soon lose him"
However, twice In two days after
they had started on the trail they
caught sight of distant figure remind
full of the man they had observed at
Truro.
1t was early In the morning that
Matteo suggested plunge into a near
creek before they lit little fire and
cooked their frugal breakfast They
had disrobed and were disporting
themselves in the cool sparkling
stream when an ominous sound echoed

Then to the CONSERVATION of Howe,
; turning he saw man, the man who
had shadowed him in the city just
rushing away with camera.
"Matteo!" shouted Howe quickly
"the spy. He has photographed the
message on my back"
! "So?" observed Matteo speedily
, springing ashore. "Ah! He had that
: purpose in following us, eh? Then he
, shall not get away SO easily"

DEAD infant IS
LEFT IN Church
Body Is Found in Philadelphia
EdifiCe as Congregation
Is Leaving
'TBy Latest MALL

PHILADELPHIA body of an
unknown baby boy was found in one
of the rear pews of the Catholic
Church Of the, Assumption, Twelfth
and Spring Garden streets, as the con-
gregation was leaving the church after
mass. 1t is supposed by the police
that the child was left in the church
by woman who entered as the SER
vice was almost over and spent long
time kneeling in the pew where the
body was afterward found.
The service was almost over today
when the sexton Of the church noticed
woman, poorly dressed. about 80
years old, and seemingly ill., who en-
tened with package clutched tightly
under the shawl that wrapped her
slender form.
With the package clasped closely to
her breast the woman knelt in one Of
the rear pewS in the center aisle and
silently prayed. The woman attracted
the attention of those near her by her
quiet demeanor and, long devotions.
Some of those seated near the woman
noticed her face as she arose from her
prayers.
The woman's face as she rose from
her knees and turned toward the chan
eel, was almost striking in it's pathetic
beauty, and its hidden emotions and
passions, according to those who
We're seated near. With a last glance
toward the kneeling priests and softly
chanting altar boys. surrounded with
the Pickering lights from many taDers.
the woman again wrapped her shawl
closely about her dropping shoulders
and left the church. The body of the
child was found a few minutes later,
as the congregation was leaving the
church.
The body was removed to morgue
about noon and up to late hour to-
night the police have been unable to
unravel the mystery that cloaked the
little unclaimed body. The theory was
advanced by the police that the woman
in her desperation, and possibly fear
ing disgrace, had turned to the church
leaving the child there with the hope
that it might be found as another child
was found centuries ago by others
who came to worship.
The child, which is we'll proportion
ed. would have had blue eyes and a
fair complexion if it had lived The
little white body could furnish no clue
to the officers, who today tried to solve
the riddle of the shaWl-draped figure
who had left her dead midst the wOr-
shipping hundreds.
