that she thought she had heard the old
lady return. The servant and a neigh
Dor then went upstairs and found Mrs
Borden murdered on the floor Of the
asked where she was just before dis
covering the murder Miss Borden
claimed that she was at the barn. but
made conflicting statements as to what
she was doing there Although many
thought these were due to nervous con-
fusion, she was arrested and tried for
the crime.
1t was unfortunate for Lizzie Borden
that she and her stepmother had not
agreed. and that she and her father had
rallen out over the transfer OF some
property to the second wife. But It was
shown that this sore had been partially
healed by the old mans making finan-
cial compensation to his daughters. An
other fact used against Miss Borden
was that some days after the murder
she had burned address, saying that II
was full of paint, but it was shown
that she did this openly. in the presence
OF neighbor. and that it was the
FAMILY custom to burn old clothes. 1t
was Furthermore contended by the
prosecutor that, save during Mr. Bor-
dens entrance, the front door had been
locked during the whole morning of
the crime and the night before and
that the murderer of Mrs. Borden could
nave entered only through the kitchen
door and have reached the victims only
by traversing the rooms whose win
dows the servant was washing most of
the time.
Altogether twenty-rine wounds. evil
IDENTIFY from a sharp hatchet, were
found on the two old people, and the
rooms in which they were found were
badly splattered with blood. What
freed Miss Lizzie Borden was the fact
that no suspicious weapon or imple-
ment was discovered in the house and
that no bloodstains were found upon
her clothes.
The medical testimony showed that
the stepmother had been killed before
Miss Lizzie had talked with Bridget,
during the ironing. and that the father
had died subsequent to this conversa-
ton. So to have killed the two old peo-
make at least two changes of clothes,
the last one within ten minutes after
the killing. Within this same time she
would also have had to dispose of the
weapon used.
She was acquitted on the first ballot.
A farmer of the neighborhood stated
that while in his woods after the crime
he had heard a weird voice repeat three
times, Poor Mrs. Borden and had
thereupon come upon a man. with blood
spots on his shirt, who took up
hatchet and shook it at him. The farm
er then raised his AK in an attitude of
leaping over a wall, had disappeared
into the black depths of the wood.
In our criminal annals there has
never been a trial that has left both
participants and onlookers in such deep
perplexity, and has divided them into
so many factions, each holding stub
bornly to definite theory.

THEEVEN|NG STORY
GOLDEN HEART.
Copyright. 1915. by W. wernerJ

Emeline Danvershad gone that after
noon to the station to meet her cousin.
Mrs. Trell, from Benningburgh. Once
a year Mrs Trell put herself out of
the way to visit Emeline. Once year
also she put herself still further out OF
the way to invite a visit from Emellne.
These were the two annual events OF
Emeline's life, but if she had had her
own way she would have permitted
neither She felt it her duty to visit
Mrs Trell and to have Mrs. Trell visit
her. But it was like all duties, cum.
bersome. 1t threw her whole life out
of mesh, as machinists say, to have
Mrs Trell a week in the house. She
had to prepare for weeks beforehand.
Rooms never used must be aired and
busted, the larder must be filled with
all sorts of cookery, for Mrs. Trell
was good eater. Emeline herself
must have new dress to wear. so as
not to appear too behindhand when
she went on the street with her cousin.
1t was very hot. still July after
noon when she went to the station
to meet Mrs. Trell. Emeline wore
black skirt and white shirt waist
and her second best hat and carried
her umbrella. She had worked all the
morning doing little important last things
and she was tired. When she reach
ed the station she learned that the
train was late. So she went into
cool corner of the platform to wait.
There was an unusual crowd of people
Wanting for the New York express
which came in before the Eenning-
burgh local. Emeline could not under
stand it at all, so she asked a woman
who stood near her: why are there
so many folks here today?"
oh replied the woman, they've
come to see the fresh air children ar
rive. They are due on the express
E,meline remembered then. She had
been asked to take a child, but she
had excused herself the plea that
her cousin was coming. She disliked
children: she knew nothing about them.
Her own childhood had been solitary
and in her spinsterhood she was quite
alone. Mrs. Trell was her only avail
able relative and she had no children.
In the neighborhood where Emeline
lived there were only grown-ups. She
had a prejudice against children,
which, considering all things, was per-
haps not remarkable. She felt annoy
ed at having to be here when these
waits of the tenement districts ar
rived. They would overrun everything.
She wondered how people could take
them at all.
A few minutes later tho eYnreSs drew

up to the station. A Ntired looking
woman led the way for her flock to the
platform. Such a flock, Bewildered,
big eyed, excited faces and hands
smudged with CRIME, clad anyhow. in
anything, some with bundles, some cry
ing, all hungry, tired and in piteous
need of mothering, came the pack of
fifty-nine fresh-air children. Not a
child among them was over eight, and
several were manifestly under the re-
quired age of fve-babies all of them,
just babies. Emeline stared in as
tonishment, her glance moving from
face to face until it fell upon
Susannes.
Susanne was four and a half, but
she had been brought to the train by
her mothers death, and was only too
glad to be rid of her, even for two
weeks. The child wore a scrap of faded
blue dress, mismatched socks, andsworn
out white sandals. She was just as
smudgy as the rest, but different for
all that. Emeline felt this the in
stant she saw her.

manded. pointing.

had charge of the distribution, con-

care of her. And you know, Miss DAN
vers, we had good deal of trouble
in getting them all placed"
But Mag Wilkison-" Emeline
protested She looked around swiftly
Mag W11kison was not in sight. Half
a dozen distracted women were vainly
trying to sort out children for their
various destinations. The platform was
in hubbub. At that moment the Ben
ningburgh local came in. Emeline
pushed her way toward it. But Mrs
Trell was not among the half dozen
passengers who alighted.
A boy ran out from the station
agents office with telegram in his
hand. Miss banvers Where's Miss

Susanne in shawl until she could
make further arrangements.
Thus Mrs. Mangan first saw Su-
same. She had run in to see if Mrs.
Trell. whom she liked very much. had
found susanne calmly eating bread and
milk from a pink luster bowl. "Eme-

She asked great many questions

Susanne to have them.
Susanne became the clothes so well
that she attracted the attention of the
neighborhood next day. when she set
up housekeeping apartments for a
large doll under the horse chestnut in
the fowl yard Emeline had provided
the doll. She had ransacked her mem
| ory and recalled that a doll with yell
low hair and joints was necessary to
every little girls happiness.
IL was several Gays DeIOTe Emeline
would admit even to herself that she
was taking a great deal of comfort
with Susanne-she an old spinster,
who had prejudice against children!
Every one came to see Susanne, and
incidentally Emeline, who had never
before received so much neighborly at
tention. And she had never been SO
happy.
The two weeks fed. and the day
came for returning Susanne to the
city That day Emeline took Su-
same in her arms. She was going to
ask her a question, and she dreaded
the answer She had tried to make Su-
same love her. But suppose she had
failed, She realized terribly what Su-
same meant to her. Her face was
white as she asked: Golden Heart: do
YOU want to go back to Mrs. Winch and
Benny? Or would you rather stay here
always with Aunty Em?"
For answer Susanne flung her arms
about Emeline's neck and pressed her
face to Emelines cheek.
susanne stayed with Emeline; Eme-
line adopted her legally. And life has
become an inspired hopeful and help

Chemical Society.
Coincident with the announcement
comes the statement from Chairman
Coffin that Congress has practically
completed legislation which will carry
out the committees entire program
for establishing a firm and enduring
foundation for the nations defense.
This will provide for the sending of
annual educational orders to American
manufacturers in order to teach them
during peace how to turn out the mill
tary and naval supplies needed in an
emergency. An industrial reserve will
also be created, so that in time of war
the skilled mechanic may be kept at
work where his services are most val
ua BILE instead of being sent to the firing
line.
Both the inventory and the legislation
growing out of it are the result of
remarka BILE three months campaign
made by a volunteer, unpaid organiza
tion of business men and engineers.
II marks a new era in the relations
of the engineer, the manufacturer and
the citizen generally in the safeguard
ing of the national government, as well
as a much closer coordination between
various governmental agencies. In
many states undeveloped resources
have been classified and given pub

Business Men Cooperate.

Business men the country over received
the Investigators with the greatest
courtesy and cooperation. In only
few cases did they refuse to give the
desired information, and then usually
under a misunderstanding of the COM
mittee's plans, which was quickly
cleared up. More than 10000 concerns,
each doing an annual business of over
$100. 900, were classified, in addition to
many smaller plants with equipment
peculiarly suited to turn out material
for the fighting line. At'the time of the
Mexican crisis Chairman Coffin sent out
urgent kilograms to the chalrmen OF all
state boards urging all possible haste,
and Secretary Baker of the War De-
partment detailed five regular army Of
fcers. two of them members of the
