DR.. Rutledge. 1t will help you to solve
the tragedy and may prevent anoth-
er. There are some men in our mod
ern American life, often in honored
positions, whose private lives are un.
speakable."
What did she talk to you about
for so long when you were together?'
asked Joy later, moved by a not un-
natural curiosity.
She was telling me some more OF
the details connected with the sad
fate of her daughter. l cannot tel
you about it now. but some time I will
DR.. Rutledge asked me to find out"
That evening Mrs. Rutledge told hel
husband Mrs. Mobray's story in full
and also gave him the ring which the
woman had given her.
Il thought there was more that sht
knew" said Allan Rutledge seriously
when his wife had finished. Il have
some dark suspicious already, but
will not allow them to influence mt
until 1 get proof. If Mae Mobray wa:
murdered there must be something
done. Justice must not become q by.

II was telling Mrs. Mobray about
your plan to make her official baby

the woman and get her interested in
some kind of work. Her condition was
2itable when 1 called today, but I
think Joy and I did her some good"
What treasure of a girl Joy Gra-
ham Isl" said DR.. Rutledge enthusiast
tically. But I can't bear the thought
of her marrying Roland Gregory"
"She spoke to me this afternoon
about Roland. She thinks it Is part Of
her duty to win him to the better life"
Il never believed in this business Of
marrying men to reform them. 1t
never worked yet and it never will.
1t only means broken hearts and two
!! wrecked lives instead of one" The
minister spoke earnestly and added,
Il am going to preach soon from the
text, BE not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers,' and I shall say some
pertinent things on this very subject"
your sermon will be too late to
help JOY said the wife, shaking her
head. She has already plighted her
troth to Roland, and she feels that she
Is already bound to him. She spoke
to me a little about it today"
DR.. Rutledge looked grave, and the
conversation was interrupted by the
entrance Of little Abraham in his pa
jamas to say good night. The mother
left the room with her son, and Allan
Rutledge sat alone with his thoughts.
In his hand he still held the ring
which Mrs. Mobray had given to his
WIFE He looked at the gold band for
a moment and then said to himself:
pledge Of falsehood and token Of
cruelty, you represent to me all that
Is lowest and vilest in the soul of a
man. Speak, guilty ring, and tell me
your fatal secret"
The ring lay. shining and beautiful.
in the palm Of his hand.
mo-" he continued, speaking aloud,
beautiful ring Of gold, thou art inno-
cent. Alas, how the most sacred
things are trampled under foot by
swinish men,"
He examined the ring closely and
noticed little number stamped on
the inside, along with a special trade
mark.
Il can get this ring identified" he
said to himself quickly as he looked
at the distinguishing mark on the
ring. Il shall send it tomorrow to
a detective agency in Chicago. This
ring will tell its secret, and If there
is blood on it the murder will out"
He put the ring carefully in a draw
er in his desk expecting to send it to
Chicago the following day, but that
very night he had visitor who drove
all thought Of the ring out of his mind
Soon after Allan Rutledge deposited
the fatal ring in the drawer his door
bell rang. He arose and went to the
door himself and was somewhat sur
prised to see Reginald Nelson stand
ing there.

"wednesday Evening, Aug. 10, 1S64)
From Sullivan's Island.

August 1, 1864.
Mr.. Editor: Since my last, steady
and furious bombardment has been
poured upon Fort Sumter Over three
hundred shells are thrown at the fort
every twenty-four hours. The damage
done is slight in comparison to the
great quantity Of shot and shell hurl-
ed against it. The breaches made are
speedily repaired. On Friday last, the
enemy put up gin for the purpose Of
mounting a gun on Battery Gregg.
Our batteries from this point opened
fire on Gregg and a we'll directed shot
brought down the struo IRE for raising
the gun, and demolished the concern.
In retaliation no doubt, the flag staff
Of Sumter was shot away, but was
hoisted again the same day. A few
shells were sent over to arouse us
here but no one was hurt. During
Saturday. our batteries were quiet. On
Sunday, the 31st, ultimo, there was a
considerable movement of troops on
Morris and Folly islands. In order to
break the monotony of the day pre-
ceding and to interfere with the move
ments of the enemy our batteries COM
menced vigorous fire on Morris is
land, the shell fell about the right
place as clouds Of dust could be seen
rising from the midst Of their works.
One hundred and eleven shell were
thrown from our batteries during the
day. Thirty-one shells-most of which
were Parrott shells. wehre fired at
this place. There was no one hurt.
Some houses were struck but the dam
age was slight. The PARROT shells
pass with great speed and force. But
few moments elapse from the time the
smoke Of the gun is seen until the mis-
sile whiZZes furiously by with electric
speed. The buZZing Of the messengers
Is not very agreeable to the ear, es-
pecially when they pass within a few
feet Of your head. Towards evening
the bombardment abated on both sides
The shelling of Sumter was kept up
regularly during the night. This
morning, August 1st, our batteries
again commenced a regular, we'll di-
rected fire on Battery Gregg. The
PARROTS are again falling here pretty

I'VE are going to set apart a room
in the church where tired mothers cal
leave their babies when they come to
the services, and DR.. Rutledge thought
that Mrs. Mobray would be just the
one to take charge Of it."
The eyes Of the woman frightened
as she listened.

quickly. II would just love to dc
work like that, and then would feel
that was worth something, after all

found relief in tears, being unable to
say more.
When the paroxysm of grief was

but 1 have been so crushed. II it had
not been for DR.. Rutledge I should

Mobray.
Don't you know Joy Graham?"

sings at the church. She Is engaged

YES" responded Mrs. Rutledge In
low voice. "She and Mr.. Roland Greg

do you mean the Mr.. Gregory who
owns the factory where Mae worked?"
"Yes," responded Mrs. Rutledge.
II don't think he is good man"
said the mother, her tears coming
back. Mae used to tell me Of the
kind Of place the factory was when
she first went there. She didn't COM
plain about it after their big strike,
but am afraid the poor girl allowed
the influence to spoil her.
The poor mother seemed glad to re-
lieve her soul by telling in detail all
that she knew in regard to her daugh-
ter II wanted to tell all this to some
one" she said as she finished, but 1t
is terrible thing for me to speak Of
these things unless to some one like
