THE (IIIOST OF
A GALLOWS.
It T" n . exlreinidy awkward ulttia
Hon. i:vcn I. who am Homewhat nlovv
to ililnli, as a rule, reall.ed Hint In
stantly. At my feet in the dimly road
way lay a revolver, still hot and Htnok
Ui! from lis discharge, the report of
which had Just startled the ipih-t of
thai ciiiintry lane, while not far nwny
from me there lay In the road the body
ol a man who had lalleir from n dog
carl to the ground, apparently Htotie
dead, and the worst of It was Hint the
man w ho lay Hu-re lu the roml was my
bllii rest em-iiiy.
The horse stopped and Hwerved with
terror at the illscharue of the pistol,
ami Hi s action threw the man. dead or
wounded, from the cart. The room
who was siiilii-.' buck to back with his
master. Jumped from the vehicle and
ran toward the prostrate IlKtire, while
the horse, left entirely to hlM own de
Vices, went on In a mud gallop.
As a drowning miin thinks, so did I,
"A A IHlml NINO IA I'll I N KS, SO Hill ',"
III Hiat brief period. When the k'"oiu
leached the body of Ills master he saw
lu an Instant that the man was dead.
Then he looked ut mo. I was still re
viewing Ihe situation. Hut there wasn't
1 much time to spare.
It was not I who tired the fatal shot.
The road on tics side w as lined on one
hide with a liili hedi:e, nnd 1 knew
that the luuiib ivr had llnsl from this
ambush ami ilcici lou-ly thrown the
; revolver to where It lay Just at my
feet. Hut I was quick ciioukIi to real
; i.e that Ho Jury In the world would
1 ever believe this unless proof uf the
real murderer could be prisluccd.
j Instantly I knew that my only hope
, lay In his capture, ami I immediately
dashed lhroiic.li the liod'c In search of
i him, while the groom, thinking no
doubt that I was attempting to make
my escape, came in lnt pursuit after
, me.
Inside of the hedge there was no sign
of any living being. The fair green
Held stretched aw ay to the hillside, be
yond which the while walls uf a farm
house were Just visible, as peacefully
! ns If there could be no .such thing as
the tragedy which had Just taken place
oil the other side of the hedge. 1 looked
up and down the long hedge row lu
vain. There was not the slightest
clew to the murderer to be seen.
However, I determined that the man
might possibly make for tin railroad
station, whence I had Just come, for 1
knew that there was a train fot the
city due In a few minute. Could the
nilllan catch It? And could I overtake
him before he did so'.' If not I retUrtcd
1 might easily telegraph to the next
h. alien and have him apprehended.
I was running all the time as hard lis
I could Inside of the Inslge and toward
the railway station. The groom had
given up pursuit of tuo, doubtless
thinking it his duty to return t, s
master' b.sly. It vvaiitis.1 six minute
befoie the train was due, as 1 saw by
a hasty glance at my watch, but I dlil
not know how far the station was from
where the minder ivcunvd.
I never ran so hard In my life before,
but I felt that my life depended on the
chance of securing the murderer, and
eonsenucHlly Hie effort cost me no
strain. My wind began to tell on tue,
however, at Hie end of the first quarter
mile, and I was Just wondering vague
ly how long I could keep It up vv lieu I
came upon the empty dog cart w 1th the
runaway horse quietly cropping grass
by the roadside. Here was link Indeed.
1 Jumped into the cart a speedily as
iny exhausted strength would let inc.
and gathering up the reins I struck the
hoisc and we Were off as fast as the
animal could run toward the siatam.
I estimated that there were still two
minutes before the train was due, and
I felt sure that the station could not be
more than a third of h mile d slant.
Suddenly I heard the whistle of the
locomotive, and with It came an In
splration.
The murderer might never be found
At till events could not lay hands on
him Just then. Why not take the train
and make goisl my own escape vv '.Le
the oportunty presented Itself. It
m-eiued a terrible thing to thus hv
from Justice luvanse of a crime win,-'
I had not committed, but I could not
for my life ee any other coins,. ,., l(
So I urged the animal to still greater
peed and pull:ng up at a bond in Un
read before I reached the statlou I
Juinpisl down and ran. Just lu iim,. 0
scramble upoii the trail) as It ni mov
ing off.
It was a curlou freak of chance. If
Indeed. It was chance alone, which had

sey village, If Indcd a country s'ore
and two small lem. l-es des the sta
tion could be so .1. -scribed. When I
Klcpped out i f the 'rahl I looked Ills. lit
In vain for liaii lolpli Cutting's car
riage. As It was liol to be seen nnd as
anything lu He- "h-'ipe of a hired con
veyance was an utter liiis.ssib!lity nt
llopevllle, I set out at a brisk walk lu
the, direct: ,n of IPimlolph Cutting's
place, which I knew from a former
visit win iihont a mile and a half from
the station.
Ituudolph Cutting ami I were s.-otid
cousins, nnd the very slight degree of
UlTeetlou which always existed between
us was not in r asi d materially at the
dentil or un uncle of ours who left his
money to inc. nnd whose will was ko
Involved that there was a lawsuit Ih
twecn Cutting and tnyelf. As It hap
pened, by the i-mis of the will, most
of my uticle's property was left to tue,
nml Cutting red lo have the will
broken upon certain technical grounds
which are n .t es-cutlnl to this story.
The courts upheld tin-, however, and
declared the will perfectly valid. As a
conscqitctie,. Kamlolph Culling and my
self had not spoken for live years, and
I. of course, hail not I u lo-ar hi
home until that eventful day, when I
hunicd down there In response to h s
telegram. True, I did think that It
was a curious thing for Cutting to do
to telegraph for me to come dovvu to
llopeville, but on second thoughts I
concluded that some business of Im
portance In connection with certain In
terests which were still mutual, re
quired Hint he should me, and that
perhaps he wa.s unable from Illness or
some other cause to h ave his home.
This brief explanation of the cause of
my visit to llopevllle was only a small
part of tlie thoughts which crowded
my 1'iaiii when I was safely scatisl lu
the train and whirling toward Jersey
City. A I have said, Ilandolph Cut
ling nml I were bitter enemies, ami
the evidence which pointisl to my hav
ing committed the crime seemed s
blackly conclusive that I could nl
most fed the rope tighten about my
neck. When the train slopped at tin
next station I trembled lu every limb,
fully expecting to see some one conn
Into the ear to arrest me. Nothing of
the sort happened, however, and I
passed several more stations in safety
However, I did not allow myself tntn-li
hope, for I fell sure I would be appre
hended III Jersey Cilv. Alter some
thought I concluded that It would be
Ihe best plan lo go right lu rather thau
get elf at any out of town stations, as
there would be much less rik of being
noticed In the crowd which would get
off the train there.
When the train pulled into the Jersey
City dcHt I made my way w.th all
possible haste to the wailing iikuii, and
greatly to my surprise I was imt mo
lesied. Suddenly I heard the trainman
call out a train for Philadelphia, and
acting upon Impulse I hastily secured a
ticket and was soon comfortably en
sconced in a parlor car on the w ay to
the l.inakei- City.
I can never describe that night uf
liorrorwlii. h I spent In Philadelphia.
Some idea of my feelings may bo Imag
ined vv hen I saw in an evening paper a
dispatch telling of the murder uf Itan
dolph Culling, a well known New
Yorker, near Irs country place at llope
vllle. N. J. The account lu the paper
said that detectives from New York
were at wmk upon the case, and that
although tin y tvl'iiv.l to give nut any
of the facts, liny were ill possession
of a clew which they fell sure would
enable them to capture the murderer
within a few hours.
1 sought a quiet hotel upon n side
street, regist, ring under an assumed
inline and tin n endeavored to compose
myself to await result. 1 hardly think
I slept a wmk that night, but tossed
feverish! upon my bed, wondering
whether I had not m-icl very foolishly
In thus; running away when 1 was per
fectly innocent. P inlouhtcdly by so do
ing 1 had strengthened the chain of evi
dence against inc. but under the clr
eunisiaiiccs did not see what else I
could do. Tin re was sti'J a chance for
inc. 1 thought. Cutting's groom was no
doubt a new one, as his face was not
familiar to mo, and he probably did not
know who 1 was. No one else in llope
vllle knew in.-. I had not mentioned my
Intention of going down there to any
one In New York. My only hope lay in
keplug perfect! sechnhsl until the
thing had blown over, and this I
thought I culd do as well In my hotel
In riiiliidelphia as anywhere else.
Then when I would arrive nt this
point in in reasoning the thought of
that clew that the detective were
working on would come to me and I
would break Into a cold perspiration
from nervousness and anxiety. Mow 1
ever got through the night 1 cannot
tell. As soon as I could get Into my
clothes In the morning 1 procured a
morning newspaper. There I found a
fuller and more thrilling account of the
murder, most of which 1 nklnini.il
through hurriedly until I reachul the
follow lu; words:
"lVtivtlves Warden and Seabury, of
the l'lllkel-ton force, reached llopeville
shortly after noon, having b.i-n tele
graphed for by Mr. Cutting's family.
They at once set to Work upon a dew
fiirn,.shii them by Iavls. rootu,
who wa with Mr. Cutting when the
fatal shot was tired. Pa vis was sitting
w'.ih Is back to Mr. Cutting, but hap
pening to hok toward the side of the
road he saw a man, whom he recog
.ii.isl a a discharged servant of hi.
employer', level a pistol at Mr. Cut
ting's head mid lire. Mr. Cutting fell
to the ground and Pa vis Jumped to hi
master's assistance, only to tiud him ln
stantly killed. The horse had taken
fright and run away, when PavU hap
pening to lock up saw a I'igiitv In the
roadway. Instinctively In- ran toward
him, but the man darted behind the
Ledge and PavU lost sight of him. He
was able, however, to identify the mur
derer fully wheii he wa.s arrested In
itio detective late last night. The man.
whose name I James Simpson, was
found In an empty hay slml, not two

In order to boom business, an enter
prising grocer on a certain day adver
tised several thousand tlve-cetit loaves
of bread for sale at one cent each. His
rival was In despair until n brilliant
Idea came Into his head. He hired a
small a itny of boys and girls to buy
up all Hie loaves at a cent each. At '2
o'clock grocer No. 1 had sold nil his
bnad. ami those who came later de-uetiin-cd
him as a fraud who hml fi,.
id them with a ly1K advertisement.
Meanwhile the foxy grocer around the

cent loaves stacked up on his kitchen
tloor. put out a big sign; "K,-esh Kread
A l'Tve-Cciit I.oaf for Two Cents. We

A visitor to one of the (Jovcru.i.e.il
ollices Where women are employed 111
one of our cities desires to give in the
Youth's Complin an exact account
of what he saw ami heard there. He
was conducted by the superintendent,
an old man of Luge experience. '1 1"'
last room Inspected was tilled with
women nt work.
The visitor remarked. "This Is a
higher class of w n than that em
ployed at the same work in some ollu r
kinds of business. These women have
In c.. educated, and have relined faces
and vole s. I should Judge they me
uot used to manual labor of any kind."
-Ihev are not." was the reply. "In
aliuosi'cvery case they are the widows
or daughters of men whose Income
died Willi Ihein. but who. while living,
gave to their families luxuries beyond
their menus.
"That young girl by the window was
in fashionable society In New York
two years ago. Her father, with sal
ary of live thousand dollars, lived far
beyond his means. The woman In
mourning Is the widow of a physician
whose Income averaged six thousand
dollars. He probably spent eight.
"That pale girl is the daughter of n
master builder, who lived comfortably
among his old friends until he was
seized with political ambition. He
moved into a line house, had his car
riage, servants, and gave balls, lie
died, and hi daughter earns twelve
dollars a week, on which she supports
her Hut. There is hardly a woman
here who is not the victim of the vul
gar ambition which makes a family
ape Its wealthier neighbors ill Its out
lay." "That is an ambition not peculiar to
us Americans." said the visitor.
"It is more common among us. be
cause in oilier countries social position
depends upon birth, while here it is
usually lixed by money. How many
families in every class do you know
who are pretending to a larger pecuni
ary wealth than they have';"
The visitor passes on the question to
the reader.
A Mouse Story.
A lady, living in my house In the
conn; it. announced to me one day thai
she had tamed a family of mice, con
sisting of a father ami mother and
seven young mouse children, who had
made their m-st lu the partially decay
ed s.ish -frame of the window lu her
tlrst tloor bedroom, which had an open
ing mi In the sill outside. She fur
ther suited that she could Identify each
of the members of this family, uml
could Induce them to come at her call
and feed out of her hand. These state
ments appeared so Incredible that I
felt compelled lo express iny disbelief
ill tlieiii in tlie absence of personal
proof of their Veracity, and she tho;e
foiv requested uie to accompany her
to lu r room, there to receive such cvi
doive as would satisfy my doiibis. I
went and stood with her close lo the
open window, and she called the mice
by the names ".Iim," "Tom," ".lack."
and so on, to which she asserted that
she had accustomed tlieui, ami I saw
tlieiii come one by one, on to the win
dow' ledge, where they ate bread out of
her baud, and subsequently nt ,,f niy
own, not timidly, but as If in full as
surance of safety.
('ii the afternoon of the same day I
had a small tenuis par;y in tlie garden
on to which this bedroom looked. My
cousin, whose Christian name is .Iim,
was playing tennis, and several of the
party. Including myself, were sitting In
the garden beneath the mouse window,
when afternoon tea was brought out to
us. and I called out ",11m, .Iim," several
times to communicate that fact to my
cousin. At th,. third ,,r fourth cail
something ran across the path, and one
of the party impulsively threw his low
hat at It. and killed what we found to
be a mouse.
The mouse tamer was not of the par
ty, and knew nothing of the occur
rence, to which Indeed none of us at
tached in, ire than a pissing Impor
tance. The next morning, however,
still In Ignorance of the incident, she
Informed us that her Iim,. ,iju, ,ns.
appeared from ,,.r family, .,,! that,
although the others appeared as usu
al at her call, he remained absent; aud
1 know that he never reappeared.
