CHAPTER IV.
To two of the ladle from th floor
tbov Keller consigned bin charge, and
K-aklii few words In low ton to
Hsnuab, he re-entered the library, while
1st ncgrva returned to tbe kitchen and
joined ber daughter.
-It serine Incredible, flcllars," observed
Dr. Noreum, "that Robert Campbell
annum nave commuted I lila murder."
"Many thing eeem lucrctllbl it flrat
. laiin," an Id the lttttlv.
"The probability la." remarked Her-
mail. "that 01 undo Informed him that
he dralred hla daughter to become my
wife; that he utterly refused to aauctlon
hla ault, and that in a lit of rage, Robert
Campbell plunged th blade of the sheath
knife to hi heart, lie doubtless thought
no on ! know of hla presence In the
houae. Perhaps lie waa appalled at th
bloody deed be had committed. 1 doubt
not, but that w heard my unci' erica
aim niatened down, In a wither moment ha
would bar lied, and thla murder might
kiug hava remained a myetery."
Perhaps," a awn I ml tba detective, "and
then aouie Innocent party might bar own
uspected. !i. turn yourself, Herman
Craven! It la lorttinat that your uncla'a
rne aroused you.''
Ilermane pair face becam paler yet.
and ba glanced uneasily at tba detective,
aa ho ran the fliiger of one hand through
bia black balr.
"Fortunate, Indeed!" he exclaimed. "My
poor unci Baa tan ilk a father to m.
and I bar always tried to merit hla a (Tec
Hob. Yon know, gentlemen, my mother
"By th way," observed Sellers, "I
would Ilka to go through th house. You
know, of count, that th question will
aria aa to whether th premise were
searched. It la beat, on your ac
count. Craven, that th fact ahould
be established that a thorough search
wa mad. You kuow, Campbell
rlalma that be brought a bag of gold
otn her. II van undoubtedly eatabllab
the fact that b procured It at the exprene
olBi".''
"He may bar done no," aald Herman,
with a troubled look that be could not
arold, "but aaauredly be did aot enter thla
bona with It In hla poaaeaaJon."
"IIow than, did b obtain that note and
Indue your unci to cam-el It? Had he
paid It at th bank duriug th day you
moat bar known of It."
"Ob, h did not pay It at th bank. He
tnuat I cannot nnderatand that."
"I'erhana be brought th cola, aecured
your nncla'a ludoraenient on the not and
had poeaeeeloa of It before he atruck the
blow, II may ha planned to aecure the
Bote and retain hla money alao. He may
bar awrvted th coin here iu the famine.
Again, be may have bad a confederate
and toaaed the bag out of tbe window to
him."
"Yoo forget," aald th -doctor, "that he
waa betiding orer th body of my plr
log friend with th Woody weapon iu hla
uaou wnen Herman entered th room.
He could not bare bad time."
"Scarcely," aald Herman. "I cannot
think be bad tbe gold," he continued, "and
bow be obtained that canceled note I can
not auriiihw. You can examine uiy on
ele'a deak." V
; Here Herman pulled open rery drawer,
ralaed the lid, oiencd the folding doora,
and It waa thoroughly examined. Ho alao
waa tbe entire library, chamber and bath
room, but no bag of gold waa revealed.
"We will go through the other rooma,"
aald the detective.
They were taken one by onethe double
parlor, pantry, atoreroom, kitcheu, er
vauta' rooma at tbe rear of the bouae,
paaaage under the atalrway, etc., but no
bag of coin.
"I believe there I no baaeinent to thla
bouae V aald rVIUra,
"None," waa Herman' reaponae,
"Well, we will aacend tbe at a Ira."
"Oh, he could not bave aacended them,"
Herman aald, "after having committed
th murder."
"Thla ecarch la In your Intereat," aaid
the detective, "Have you aarended the
ataira aini-e yon accompanied Mlae l
Itoaette below f
"I have not," replied Herman. "Aa I
Informed yon, I had retired and waa
roueed from alec p by my uncle' crlea. I
ahould know hla voice I can awear thoae
erica were not thoae of another. I aprang
from my bed, waa joined In the hall by
my coualn, and together we deaeended the
ataira."
By thla time the two men were In the
ball above.
8oba and female voice were emanating
from the room of the banker'a daughter,
which waa a front chamber on tbe eaat
aide of the bouae, and a door opened iuto
It near the bead of th ataira.
"Thla la roy room," aald Horman, "di
rectly back of my coualn'. The door yet
la atandlng open aa I left it."
The two men entered the room. It waa
finely appointed, for a gentleman' apart
ment. True the furniture that It contain
ed would to-day be considered aomewhat
cumberaome and conalderably out of date.
Th room waa fully twelve feet aqunre.
Tbe blgh-poat bedatead occupied a posi
tion in the northeaat comer of tbe room,
Ita head being agalnat the eaat wall of the
bouae, while one aide preaaed agalnat the
partition that divided the room from that
of tbe banker'a daughter.
Yea, undoubtedly aoraeone hnd occupied
tbe bed that night. The clothlns waa
eaat aalde iuat aa it naturally would have
been bad Ita occupant leaped auddenly out
of bed. One of the large pillow indicated
where the bead of the arouaed Herman
had lain.
Hanging over the back of a chair, near
the head of the bed, waa Herman'a dreaa
ahlrt, with a aolltary diamond etud gua
tenlna on Ita white boaom.
"Why, you ace," be aald, "I yet have
tny night ahlrt on." ,
Seller bad noted that hla band and
aleevea bore no atalna of blood. Thoae of
Robert OaniDbell did.
A large burean atood between the two
eaat window, a trunk to the aouth of the
bureau and a door led to the cloaet, Iu the
northweat corner of th room.

A ISruaael carpet covered th floor,
while here and there reated Oriental ruga,
on lying acroa the brickwork that ex
tended out from the lirenlaoe.
Heller took In everything at a glance,
men cioaed and locked tbe door.
"We muat not be Interrupted," be aald,
Herman Craven looked annoyed, aud bit
hla llpa In evident Dertnrbatlon.
"You wiah to ecarch my room?" be nak
ed.
"Tbe whole houae," aald Bellara, "not
yonr room alone. I wiah to nlace all mem'
ber of thla houaehold beyond the pale of
auapU'lon and In doing ao th coil around
ttobert Campbell tlghlena."
"I I aee," aald Hermau.
"We will eoniiueure here," obaerved
Heltara, and he eclxed tbe aullta aud bed
ding and dragged them from the' bed, re
moved the pillowa, overturned tbe mat-
treaa, and felt it through and through;
moved the bedatead out and examined the
walla next turned to tbe bureau, and
withdrew every drawer, which be ruui
aged over.
Herman In tbe meantime bad ralaed
the lid of bla trunk. "In any way I can
I wiah to aaafat yon," be aald.
purely there wa no evidence of alarm
In hi voice or manner.
"You can remove the content of your
trunk," aald Mellara. "I will obaerve."
Herman did ao, and down to the laat ar
ticle.
Next tbe cloaet nnlerwent Inapectloo.
The rug, before the fireplace, waa re
moved. A aiugle glanc at th even aur
face of tbe brickwork told the experienced
detective that thrre had been no baaty
tampering with tbe brickwork.
The other ruga were overturned, the
caaing of the windows and door examined
no bag of coin, no blood-ataiued gar
ment, waa revealed.
Now you aee," aald Bellara, "I am able
to teatify that I have thoroughly iuapect-
ed your room, and that not a aiugle evi
dence of guilt on the part of tla occupant
could I dlacover. Itobcrt Campbell will
doubtleaa undertake to alilft hla crime to
your ahouldera. You now aee bow impor
tant to you that I Inatituted thla ecarch
before leaving the bouae."
Tbe daatard!" exclaimed Herman. "I
think he could make no one believe that
I would murder my dear old uncle. Why,
where would have been tbe motive?"
"Tbe bath room;" obaerved Bellara.
"At the end of tbe hall, on thla floor."
"V will take that next."
"No coin here, and everything aa clean
a a pin," Hollar aaid five miuutea after
having eutered It.
"Where m-xt 7" asked Herman.
"These rooma, ou the west aide of the
honae."
There are but three, and none of them
occupied at thla time. Thla rear room
uexl the bath room on the eaat aide, ia
occupied by Millie, my coualo'a maid. Nhc
la Mow with her mother, and will hardly
return to It to-night. Hattie baa always
kept her near her on thia floor."
We will look at It," aald the detective.
aa he turned the knob of the dixir.
The room waa tidy, but tbe bed tum
bled. "Millie bad also retired when the mur
der waa committed?" aaid Kcllara.
"Kvldi-Btly!" obaerved Herman, "and
the commotion below brought her down.
Htrange, too, for 1 have often heard my
coualn remark that It waa almost impos
el bin to a rouse ber." ' ;
The weat rooma were next vlaited.
"There are no other apartment on thia
floor, aave thla room of Mia Drlto-
eette'a," aald Herman, aa they passed out
the door of the laat one, the one opposite i
that of the banker'a daughter.
"I will not dlaturb her," aaid 8ellara.
"It ia unnecessary. Now for the rooma
above."
The third-floor rooma are not even fur
nished," aald Herman, "and not one of
them haa been occupied. You know, my
uncle built thia houae but four years ago.
There are no llghta above."
"Oh, well, we will paaa up and take a
walk through them," observed Bellara.
"Hrlng your lamp." .
They did ao, but there wa nothing bnt
the bare walla to be Been.
"Thla narrow flight of ataira, I auppoae,
loads to the loft," Bellara aald, aa they
passed to the end of the ball,
"Yea," replied bla companion, "to the
attic one large, low room. It contains
nothing, I understand, aave old family
rellca, trunk and various klnda of plun

hanga ber washing there to dry. Now I
think of It, my coualn asked her for the
key at tbe breakfast table yesterday
morning. Bhe atated that she found some
old letter that Interested ber, and that
she wished to acarch for more. I doubt
not ahe haa It now. It will be necessary
to arouse her to obtain tbe key, if you
wish to visit it."
Bellara glanced at bla companion.

in the direction of the ataira they bad as
cended, aa it contemplating returning for
the key,
"It la uaelesa," aald Sellara, "I will

"The aervanta take excellent care of
the house," he snld; "there la no dirt here,
even on the ataira."
"Hannah la a fo to dirt Iu any form,"
replied Herman. ,
Bellara deliberately walked up the atalr
way and tried the door. "Yes, It i lock
ed," he aald. "Let us descend."
Klve minute later th two men re-entered
the library. The parlors were light
ed, and there were at least a doxen of
Wilmington' leadiug cltlaena present, In
cluding the old bank attorney,
"Ah, Bellara," he exclaimed, "a terrible
blow thia community has sustained. I
am glad to see you here! but is It possible
that young Campbell can have committed

"but remember that but for yon he would

may promise you that be ahull not hang
the wrong man thia time; neither will the
wrong man. In my opinion, stand ea th
gauow trap and In th very ahadow of
death."

He alone saw a perceptible start, aad a
deeper pallor overapread th young Ban'

cioaed convulalvely, but In an Inatant b

"I bav everv confidence that Mr. fol

guilty wretch who perpetrated It," be
aaid. "I have little doubt, nor do I think

It to him. It la certain that he left tbe
expreaa office with it"
"He undoubtedly did, gentlemen," aaid
Angel, "after having receipted for It"
'There la no evidence," obaerved Sel
ler, "that be brought it here. He may
have done ao, and after driving the blade
of the aheatb knife home have eaat It ant

I will accompany yoo to the door," aaid
Herman.
"Itemain with these gentlemen," the de
tective aaid. "You will bave arrange

FINIGUERRA AND LAUNDRESS.
A Kindly Act that Broaght About a
Great Discovery.
It la always pleasing to bear A pretty
atory told of a man who baa created
beautiful tblnga. Two group of
touriata were atauding iu the Plttl Pal
ace before tbe large plato of pure silver
upon which rlnlguerra, tbe great mas
ter of early engraving, bad depicted hla
lovely Madonna and Child In a trellised
arbor covered with rosea. Aa the tour
iata looked at the exquisite work, aa
1 tu I In a guide discounted upon tbe value
of the silver, aud offered a magnifying
glaaa with whit-b to observe tbe deli
cate Hues of the drawing, talking volu
bly, and uttering ecstatically, "Uellor
and "Belllsaltno!" ns he fell Into theat
rical pose of admiration. At the B&me
time an Itullao lady was telling ber
friends in an undertone the charming
anecdote of Flulguerra and the laun
dress. The artist, It seems, In mastering the
new aud dltllcult art of engraving upon
metal, had acquired a singularly keen
eye and delicate touch; and he also pos
sessed a number of very flue and sharp
Instruments, which be used In hla work.
Being a kindly uihii, he sometime
placed both his sure hand and bla flue
tools at Jlio service of his fiieuds and
neighbors, In performing for them some
of I ho simpler oiierations of surgery.
until be acquired quite a reputation for
his skill in doctoring their hurts.
One day a poor lauudrcBS who bad
Uh-ii wushliig clothes In wringing out
a (.'iinuent in which a needle bad been
cnreicssly left, ran It deeply Iuto 1 er
band; worse yet, It broke off In tba
wound, aud a pnrt remulued embedded
In the flesh. - She was In much pain,
nml on her way back from the stream
where she bad beeu wushlug, she stop
ped at the house of the artist and was
udmitted.
Entering his studio, she hastily set
down her wet and heavy bundle, and
held out the Injured hand, begging his
assistance. Flulguerra left bis work to
help her, aud after long and delicate
manipulation extracted the broken
needle. The woman thanked htm and
turned to go, lifting her bundle from
Its resting-place.
Then he saw thnt she lmd set it tqion
one of his engravings. Like all others
at that time, It was a plate of engraved
meial, complete In itself, and regarded
us a single and sulilclent picture, ox-
iictly as If It had been a painting.
Bnt as tbe damp buudle was raised.
tbe quick eye of Flulguerra saw tht It
had received an Impression from the
engraved picture beueuth, and his q ilcU
mind seined at once tue suggestion ot
the possibility of Indefinite reproduc
tion from a single orlgluul. So that
from the kindness of a great artist to a
Door washerwoman spraug the discov
ery which has placed the beautiful
products of the engravers' art wmiin
the reach of all of us to-dny I Youth's

MILLION DOLLAR FRAUD.
Hundreds of People All Over ih Country
Buncoed Out of Savings.
Boston, Oct. - 30. In connection
with what the United States mar
shal's office declares to be one of tbe
biggest frauds they ever had to deal
with in this city, members of the
firm of J. C. Fisher & Co., brokers,
were arrested today on a charge of
using tbe United States mail in a
scheme to defraud. It is alleged that
$1,000,000 has been taken from the
public since January 1, 1900.
The method of the firm is said by
the authorities to have been very
simple. People all over the country,
it is alleged, were written to and told
what exceptional chances there were
to invest money, and that large re
turns could be expected. Pools were
formed and those desirous ol getting
rich quickly were invited to re
mit. After two or three weeks, it is
said, investors would be advised that
pool had been formed on a well-
known stock and that as the quota
tions had gone down the margin had
been swept away, and that more
money was necessary immediately in
order to save the stock. After bar
ing put in two or three times the
original stock, some investor became
suspicious and called the attention
of the authorities to the matter.
ON CONSERVATIVE LINES.
Work of Board Reorganizing Chines Govern
mentStudy Western Methods.
Washington, Oct. 30. The state
department has received from Minis
ter Conger at Fekin, a translation of
series of preliminary regulations
adopted by the recently organized
Chinese Board of National Adminis
tration, charged with the reorganiza
tion of that government on moderu
and efficient lines. The sentiments
expressed are conservative, says Mr.
Conger, and it is made plain that
there is no intention to imitate the
too brisk pace set by the reformers
of 1898, but instead to study West
ern methods and, without adopting
Western civilization as a whole, to
adaot to Chinese conditions such ins
titutions as seem likely to add
strength to the state.

he did not make the deposit. To

closed at 10 o'clock. He refused to
heed the words of tbe priests who
came to urge spiritual preparation
for death and declined to re-embrace
Roman Catholicism or to renounce
anarchism. Czolgoss 'showed no
strength of love lor kin, nor did he
turn to any of those higher consider
ations which ordinarily claim the
thoughts of men occupying his posi
tion. Jie may nave sunered untold
torture, but outwardly he seemed
sullen and indifferent. The state is
not to surrender possession of his
body, and by sundown it will have
been secretly interred in ground con
trolled by the officials of Auburn
prison.
Czolgoss held his last two inter
views last night, the first with Super
intendent uollins and, tbe second
with his brother and brother-in-law.
Both of the interviews were brief.
The interviewers did most of the
talking until the question of religion
waa mentioned, when Czolgosz broke
from bis seeming lethargy and vio
lently denounced the church and the
clergy and made his relatives promise
that there should be no service for
him, living or dead. When his
brother and brother-in-law bid him
farewell, be turned and walked to
the other side of the cell and refused
to answer them.
