THE sunlight was flooding in at

borne upon this shaft of glory,
came the mingled fragrance Of herb
and flower and ripening fruit with
the blithe CarOlling Of birds-it was
all there, blent into one harmonious
chorus of JOY. song that spoke
Of hope and a fair future 10 such as
were blessed with ears to hear. And
by this, our Barnabas, opening
droWsy eyes and hearkening with
drowsy ears. judged it was yet early
morning.
He lay very still and full Of a
great content because Of the glory
of the sun and the merry piping
of the birds. But, little by little.
as he hearkened, he became con-
scious Of another sound. a very
gentle sound vet insistent because
Of its regularity. soft click click

He became aware that he lay in
a bed, undressed, and that his arm

brow grew troubled. and with great
caution he lifted his free hand to
his neck and began to feel for a
ribbon that should be there. And

into his bosom until they touched

that he had fashioned, once upon
a time. with infinite trouble and
pains, and in which he had been

what had once been a fragrant,
scarlet rose.
And now. having found this little
bag. he lay with brow still troubled
as one in some deep perplexity the
while his fingers felt and fumbled
with 10 clumsily. This was the lit
tie bag indeed; he knew it by rea-
son of its great, uneven stitches and
its many knots and ends of cotton;
yes. this was it beyond all doubt
and yet! Truly it was the same, but
with a difference.
Barnabas presently turned his
head and saw a face bent over him,
a face with cheeks suspiciouSly pink
framed in curls suspiciously dark
and glossy. but with eyes wonder

said the duchess. And oh. Barn
abas dear. If a withered. faded wisp
may bloom again-so may a wom-
ans faith and love. There. there,
dear boyi Close your eyes and go
to sleep again"
So, being very weary, Barnabas
closed his eyes and. with the touch
Of her small cool fingers in his hair,
fell fast asleep.
Now as Barnabas lay thus lost in
slumber, he dreamed a dream. He
had known full many sleeping Wis
ions and fancies Of late, but, Of
them all, surely none had there
been quite like this.
For it seemed to him that he was
lying out amid the green, deWy
freshness Of Annersley wood. And
as he lay there, grievOusly hurt, 10!
there came one hasting, light-footed
10 him through the green like some
young nvmph Of arcady Of goddess
Of the wood, one for whom he
seemed to have been waiting long
and patiently, one as sweet and
fresh and fair as the golden morn
ing and tender as the spirit of
wOmanhod.
And, for that he might not speak
or move because OF his hurt, she
leaned above him and her hands
touched him, hands very soft, and
cool, and gentle, upon his brow
upon his cheek; and every touch
was a caress.
Slowly, slowly her arms came
about him in a warm. clinging en-
brace. arms strong and protecting
that drew his weary head to the
swell of a bosom and pilloWed it
sWeetly there.
So because of this dream, Barna-
has lay in a deep and utter con-
tent, for it seemed that happiness
had come to him after ALL and of
its own accord But, in a while, he
stirred and sighed, and presently
opened dreamy eyes, and thus it
CHANGED that he beheld the door of
his chamber, and the door was
quivering as though it had but just
closed. Then, as he lay watching
it. sleepy-eyed, it opened again,
slowly and noiselessly, and John
Peterby entered softly, took a step
toward the bed, but, seeing Barna-
has was awake, stopped, and SO
stood there very still.
CUDDENLY BarnabaS smiled, and
- held out a hand TO him.
Why, John" said he, my faith
full Johns it you?"
Sir" murmured Peterby, and
coming forward, took that extended
hand, looking down at Barnabas

yet uttered no other word.

round the faded splendors of the
bed-chamber. where am I, pray?"

Wax Casts Are Help to
Cops i'm Shooting Cases

Observation-Disclosures police de-
partment has adopted a new method in
criminal investigation whereby a per-
son who has fired a gun can be de-
tected by chemical analysis of a wax
cast Of their hands.
The idea was adopted following q
visit made to the city by Teodoro Con-
zales, assistant director Of the bureau
Of criminal Investigation, Mexico City.
The basis Of the test Is that the dis
charge Of a shell leaves microscopic
particles OF powder on the skin Of the
hands. Melted paraffin is poured over
the hand Of the suspected person, re.
moved when hard and subjected to
chemical analysis. If the hand on
which the mold Is taken has fred a
gun. traces Of the nitrate base Of pow
der will show UP in the analysis.
Police Chief Jacob G. Laubenheimer
became interested and conducted q
number of tests. Four officers were
sent to the police target practice room.
with Instructions that one Of them was
to fire his gun. In each case the iden-
tity Of the officer that fired the gun
was established after casts taken Of
their hands had been analysed.
The method is expected to prove par
ticularly valuable ia cases Of question
able suicide.
