About 11 o'clock M!a Julia Pryor,
one of the clerks, discovered flames
and smoke In the gallery In the rear
part gt the store. An Investigation
revealed the fact that a paper box of
men's hats, which had been left
asalnHt the stovepipe, was afire and
the flames were rapidly spreadlnK to
other Inflammable goods. Several
large bolts of cotton batting were ly
ing within a foot of the blaze, and
had they caught fire It would have
been lmpoHHle to extinguish the
blase without the aid of the fire de
partment. The clerks played a small stream
frorfi a garden hose iipom the blaze
and succeeded In putting It out, but
not before the hats were destroyed
and a largo hole burned In the floor.

"The O'Briens," said a man standing
la bis doorway, "are quarreling. Lis
ten!" A man's voise was heard to say:
'Be quiet, Molly. Dou't you see tie
neighbors looking?"
"I don't care If they are. This life
I'm living with you Is unbearable."
"Very well, I'll trouble you no longer.
But remember-mlnd what I say (he
shook bis finger at beri-you'll not get
me back for the asking."
O'Brien strode away, and his wife
went Into the bouse nnd slammed the
door. Those who were watching the
couple went off about their respective
callings and thought no more of the
Incident, except that this was the first
time they bad ever known the couple
to quarrel. Miles aud Molly O'Brien
bad been supposed to be devoted to
each other. ,
The next day and the next and the
next the O'Brien house was closed.
Neither Miles nor his wife was at
home, nor was cither seen In the vil
lacn, Then one morning a crowd gath
ered about their bouse. Iu the yard
lay Mrs. O'Brien, dressed In her best
clothes and wearing ornaments which
she seldom wore except on gala occa
sions. She bail been dead some time.
A blow on the head had been the cause
of her death. The body was Identified
before the coroner, the parting words
of the couple given In evidence, aud
the police of neighboring cities were
notified to arrest Miles O'Brien for the
murder of his wife. The same evening
be was lodged In jail.
Tho trial was one of circumstantial
evidence. The couple had quarreled,
O'Brien had gone o the city, where
during the Interval between his leaving
borne and bis .arrest be had shunned
every one. His wife bad disappeared.
Then suddenly she had been found In
ber own yard murdered, wearing ber
beat apparel and ber Jewelry. The
theory of the prosecution was that she
bad returned to -ber borne for the pur
pose of taking away these valuables,
that her husband bad found ber there,
they had renewed their quarrel and
O'Brien hod killed ber.
The prisoner's counsel tried In vain
to discover the exact time of the mur
der In order to establish an alibi, but
the corpse had been found In the
morning under some bushes, where It
might have lain pot only all nlgbt. but
for several dnys. The circumstantial
evidence against the accused was too
strong to be controverted except by au
alibi; consequcutly there was no
ground for the defense o stnnd on.
The Jury brought hi a verdict of guilty.
Miles O'Brien was brought up for
sentence.
"Have you anything to say why the
seotenco of death should uot be passed
upon you?" asked the Judge.
"I am Innocent of the crime. My
wife and I never bad but one serious
quarrol, and I never expected that It
would be lasting."
The Judge then made some prelimi
nary remarks on the devilish brutality
of a man who would kill his wife with
a club nnd was nbout to pronounce the
final words which would consign Miles
O'Brien to the gallows when there was
a commotion among those gathered In
the back of the courtroom nnd a wo
man came pushing her way down the
; nisie. Hustling to the prisoner, she
threw her arms about him. be, though
asiouisneii, returning the embrace.
"Who are you?" asked the Judge.
"His wife."
When the commotion consequent up- i
on mis suuueu return to life of n mur
dered woman who had come to save
her husband from the iiennlty of hav
ing killed her bad sulfsided, the Judge
asked Mrs. O'Brien to gho an account
of her wherrnhouts sln, ber parting
with her husband.
"After he left me," she said, "I con
cluded to shut up the house and go up
Into the country to my mother, who
lives on a farm. They dou't take a
uewspnter up there, bo I didn't hear of
my husband's arrest But 1 found I
couldn't live without him nnd came
bnek to learn what bad become of him
anil If 1 could find him. ask his for
Rlveness. When I got home. I heard
he had been tried for my murder aud
whs to be sentenced tills uurnlng."
"Have you a twin sister?"
"Ni. yuur honor." .
