"You know you have lled-Ued like

role of the detective, "that the prisoner
milium mil tie allowed to denounce a Wil
lie tn Hint niunner. It is outraxeous,
You should protect your witnesses!"
(tellara bad arisen to bis feet, and he
etrode forward aa be uttered the words.
Wltn Ills eyea hied on Hubert, who; with
a hioan, aauk lulu a ebair.
"I should have admonished u'm in a
moment more. Mr. Hellnrs. I asaure vou,
I am conducting thia Investigation. The
prisoner must not again presume to Inter
nipt the proceedings, much less denuuuee
a raise the testliuuny of a witness. You
seem to he nuiwtioulng the whites lu the
Interest of the prisoner. Sir. Dobbs. Are
there any further ijuestlons you desire

"No, no! I think not. I merely comid
ereil it my duty to see that Holier! Camp
bell stiould not be IieUI to court unless
there waa probable cause to believe thai
he committed tills fearful crime."
That ia all, Mr. C'raveu," said the cor
oner.
Mia Ilattie was next awnrn, but alio
was ao agitated that hardly could she
aiH'ak a word.
Hubert longed to take ber in bla arms
aud whisper words of consolation in her
ear, but the keen eye of the detective
were on bliu and they held ulra in bis
chair.
Tho testimony of Mlaa DcUonette cor
roborated that of Herman Craven in ao
far aa she atated that ehe also waa arous
ed by what she suptHMcd her father'a
erica, and that Herman knocked on her
door, ud that with bliu ahe descended the
stairs. Of the fearful scene that met her
eyea when ahe entered the library ahe
could hardly aieak.
"My poor father waa gasping his last.
she moaned, "and Itobert atood beside bliu
with a bloody knife in bia hand. My
father atld from hia chair to the Boor. 1
believe I knelt beside him. 1 remember
hearing Herman charge Itobert with bar
ing killed him, and then I fainted. I know
no more. ,
Do you know, Mia IXrHoaette, in
what esteem your father beld Itobert
Campbelir -
I know, was the reply, "that he ea-
teemed him highly, for I bare often heard
him pronounce bim a young man of integ
rity, worth and a high sense of honor."
"Kxcuse me. Miss Deltosette," said the
attorney, "tint in what relation did you
atand to the priaouer?"
"We were engaged, and with my fath
er'a consent I ihould bare become hia
wife.". .
A murmur of surprise followed these
words.
"Had that sanction been obtained?"
a iked the coroner. . ?
"I think not, unless Hubert had asked
hia consent last night."
"Had your father erer aaid aught to
yon about a desire on hi part to ace you
the wife of Herman Craveu?" asked the
attorney.
"Never, air I Never!" "': '
"I could have Informed the Jury of that
fact," aaid Herman, "but I did not deem
It material."
- "Has your cousin ever asked your hand
In marriage?"
"He never baa."
"You looked uponthe prisoner aa your
future husband?"
"I did, and do now if-lf "
"I underataud. Miss PcRosette. Had
your father full coulidence In Herman
Craven?" , , , ' '
"Why, hla being cashier of his bank
ahonld answer that question,", calmly ob
served the detective.
"My novation was directed to Miss De
ltosette," aaid th attorney. ,,, ,
Hattle was by thia time completely
overcome, and it waa evident that ahe
could atimd no further questioning, so
when she replied faintly; "As Mr. 8el
Uira has stated, he la cashier of my fath
er'a bank," the Attorney atated that there
waa nothing more.
Next Sheriff Cobb was examined, and
the reader knows what his testimony must
have been. ''' '
Angel, the express atent, testified aa to
Koliert'a having left th express ofne
with the bag of coin tb night before,
shortly after ten o'clock.
The detective waa next examined.
"I can only aay," he said, "that in com
pany with Mr. Craven I made a thorough
examination of these premlsee after Sher
iff Cobb had left the bouse with his pris
oner last night. We eearched all rooma
above, aa well aa these below, Mr. Cra
ven a Included. 'Indeed, every room in the
house save Mlaa Delioaette'a, which, un
der the circumstances, would have been
useleaa. We were unable to unearth a bag
of coin. There was certainly no one ac
creted in the house, nor waa there auy
evidence discovered by me while In the
house tending to Incriminate any other
than the prisoner. If tho blow waa strick
en by other than Hubert Cauipliell, the
criminal made hia eaeape from the honsc.
I had th ground examined beneath the
window by oue who haa a keen and ex
perienced eye. No one leaped from either
of the wludowa."
"Calban, I aupposc?" remarked the cor
oner. ? -
"Yea," waa the reply. "Hannah atateB
that no one cduld have pasaed out the rear
dnor without attracting her attention. Mr.
Craven haa testified that he found the
front door locked. Of courae, something
further may develop before court coa
Tenca, I can state no mora,"
"Did not the prisoner himself call you
Into this case, Mr. Hellars?"
"Yes. t'liclu Duke brought ma a not
from him requesting my presence here and
Bfatiug that the murder had been commit
ted." "I believe Ward Taylor, or Lennox, call
ed you Into the Mullierry case, Mr. Hel
lars?" remarked the sheriff.
"True." said Bellars, "he did, and in the
end I fastened the crime on hint."
A low wail burst from the lips of the
two til ils, who sat side by side near the
door. .
The prisoner waa next allowed to make
a atatenient, which did not vary from that
he bad made the tilglit before, in the pres
ence of Sheriff Cobb, the doctor aud the
detective. '
"Th iit concludes the testimony aa far as
I kuuw, gentlemen." said the coroner.
uuless you desire to question tb ser
rants.'!
"Of whnt use?" said Bellars; "their
statements would not be evidence. Here
Is Uncle-lMike. He had been in bed two
hours or more and knows nothing about

Adam sleep In the burn. Millie waa sleep
ing 011 the floor above. Huiiuah did not
even know Hubert Cumpliell waa in the
bouse.
"No use questioning them," said one of
tlie Jurors,
"I take It," said the foreman, "that we
have heard enough to Justify our holding
tlie prisoner to court."
"Well, take the ease, gentlemen," aaid
tbe coroner, , ' "
The six men withdrew to one aide, and
there was a whispered consultation of per
haps Bve 111 Inn les- duritlnii, at the end of
witlch lime the foreman announced tluit
they hud arrived at a decision.
"What say you?" asked the coroner.
"That we bi've reason to believe, and do
belitfve, that Alvin Ie!(osette came to his
death at the bauds of Hubert Campbell,
now lu custody, and wn direct that be be
held for trial for suid offense at the Sep
tember term of the criminal court, and
without ball,"
The banker's daughter had arisen fo her
feet. Her face was ghastly white, and
only tbe casing of the door kept ber from
sinking to the floor, far Jennie bad left her
aide ami ber arms were twined about tlie
form of her brother.
The coroner drew up in legal form the
finding of the Jury of inquest, each mem
ber of the jury signed the aume, and Sher
iff Cobb conveyed back to the county jail
hla priaouer, who had imprinted a kisa on
the pale cheek of bis sister, and raised
the hand of the banker'a daughter to his
lips, while be whispered in ber car tbe one
word Hope.

FACT8ABbuff OWAVVAYS.
Person Who Steal Their PsianeOffr
tb Atlantic Ocean.
"I am not given to losing my tem
per," said one captain to the writer,
"but I confess that when on one voy
age we found no fewer than fourteen
men bud umtmst'tfto stow thcmselve
away below I folt Inclined to give then
all a ducking, aud wild so." Thia was
tba captain of an Aliunde, liner, a ma 11
to whom tbe stowaway la a perpetual
nuiaattce. , ' -
Though tho strictest watch Is kept
to prevent his getting on board, tt is
rare for a trip to be made without one
or two specimens of the dead-head fra
ternity being carried, willy nllly, free.
Of courae, this la not done entirely
without c-ouulVBDce on tbe part of
somebody on board tbe ship. The stok
ers are not Infrequently the guilty par
ties. With their or others' aid the
stowaway gets down Into the bold and
finds a dark corner In which to secrete
himself until tbe vesacl In at sea. If
then he is discovered, aud set to work,
he does not mind. It Is not work be la
afraid of, but the being without work,
and the bread that accouipiinles It. ,
When It la considered what an enor
mous thing an Atlantic liner Is, and
how many dark places there are In her
vast interior, tt ta not surprising to
hear that scores of men during tbe
course of a year get free pasaage
across tho herring pond in one ship or
another nnd thia though the steamer
never leaves port without a aearch he-
lug' made to see, that no unauthorized
person ia on board. Many are discov
ered, in bunkers and other such places,
and, of courae, carefully conducted
ashore, but not a few manage to elude
detection, and, of course, ouce away
from land little la to be feared from
discovery.
There la a curtoua notion prevalent
among some sailors. It la that a stow
away Is a lucky passeuger to carry.
Aakvd once why It was, an old salt an
swered that he never heard of a ship
being lost that bad a stowaway on
board. Of course, he had an Instance
lu polut to relate. It woa to the effect
that a stowaway was discovered In hid
ing ou an outgoing vessel at the last
moment and ejected, Shaking his fist
at the captain, the would-be voyager
crliid: "I'm glad you've turned me out
of your rotten ship; neither she nor
you will live to nee Christmas Day,
while I shall." The propnecy proved a
true one. The vessel went down with
in a week of sailing, and only the sec
ond officer and a few men were saved.

HYDROGEN A COMPOUND.
Discovery of a Harvard Professor Supports
th Theory.
Boston, Nov. 20. Professor B. C.
Pickering, director of the Harvard Ob
servatory, has made a discovery that
be regards as important. In a state
ment just out, he says: ,
"The spectrum of a streak of light
ning was photographed last July. From
such a small beginning two discover
ies have developed. Not only are the
chemical . elements, so-called, com
pound, but it is likely that hydrogen
Itself, which chemical theorists have
thought to be one element of which
the others would sooner or later prove
to be compounds, seems to be of corn
posit nature." -
Other photographs made at about
the same time show the curious fact
that the spectrum of lightning is not
always tbe same. Some of the photo
graphs show a doubling of the bright
lines. Professor Pickering was at
first inclined to believe that this was
a sort of composite photo, but he now
concludes that the doubling looks a
though hydrogen, the 'only element
studied in the lightning spectrum, and
hitherto believed to be least likely
ever to be proved a compound body,
is made up of at least three compon
ents. This conclusion he bases upon
the fact that there were 30 lines In
the hydrogen spectrum on one photo,
three In another and one In the third,
the different flashes havnig been pho
tographed under different circum
stances. Another remarkable circumstance
In connection with the study of pic
turing of spectra of lightning flashes
is that they are similar to that of the
second new star in the constellation
Perseus, known as Nova Persel No. 2,
which were taken on March 23, 1901.
LETTERS FROM MISS STONE.
Long Captivity Has Affected Her Health -.
Brigands Hold Out for Big Ransom.
Sofia, Nov. 20. Another letter has
been received from Miss Ellen M.
Stone. Her health haa been some
what affected by her confinement and
hard fare, but she expresses herself
as still confident of ultimate release.
A letter to Mr. Dickinson, diplomat
ic agent of the United States at Sofia,
replying to his proposals concerning
a ransom, says the brigands will hold
out for a figure very much above the
sum at Mr. Dickinson's command. The
brigands interpret Mr. Dickinson's
note having fixed on the sum he is
willing to pay, and on a time limit, as
being indicative that he can get more
money. They also demand Immunity
from prosecution. But it is impossi
ble for the diplomatic agent of the
United States to have power to bind
the governments of Bulgaria and Tur
key. This point, however, is not likely
to be a serious obstacle in the way of
negotiations.
Reason to B HopefuL
Washington, Nov. 20. Another ca
blegram received from United States
Consul-General Dickinson at Sofia,
today Indicates that, while Miss Stone
has not yet been ransomed, there ia
reason to feel assured as to her fu
ture. The dispatch furnished evi
dence that Mr. Dickinson remains in
direct communication with the bri
gands or their agents.
MINER RELEASED.

Pocahontas, Va., Nov. 20. The
work of removing fallen slate and deb

This morning . Fritz Moulton was
found entombed in a room on tho
west side. He waa living, but a few
hours more would, no doubt, have
brought death. For six hours phy
sicians worked with him before he
waa restored to consciousness. He Is
yet feeble, but will likely recover.
There waa great rejoicing when the
news spread that he had been recov
ered alive. Moulton says all within
the mine Thursday night commented
on the heaviness of the atmosphere,
and that a number of the men left
their work ahead of him. He soon
found that danger was Imminent, and,
along with several others, , started
running from the drilft A heavy re
port that shook the mountain was
heard, and an instant later a huge
cloud of smoke and flame was seen
coming. He lost sight of his compan
ions, but he turned into a side room
as quickly as possible, and was shut
off by falling slate. Probably two
days passed before he succumbed to
the foul air. . ;' '
