"Is tbia the room where the murder Win committed t" "Yes; this is where we fonnd him, Sir, ' replied Tbouiption, Indicating a spot on the floor between the table and the fireplace where an otniuon dark stain showed. "Do you know the bonne at allt" asked Darrent, his eye npon the floor. "No, sir; never entered it till the day after the murder. We searched the rooms, lint, as you know, discovered nothing. " "Ah I Who went over the house I" "Chief DobBon." "Ah, we'll go over together present ly, Thompson. Now, tell me, is the room exactly as it was when the crime was discovered, eh t Nothing has been distnrbed, nothing removed t" "Exactly the same. Nothing has been taken away except a box of cheHHUicn. I suppose Mr. Dobaon has mentioned that to you already, sir?" "Ah, yes I They were called for yes terday morning, I understand, by a man who said he was a detective from Chicago." "Yes; that's what he said, sir." "Did you see hiint" "No, sir. Mr. Dobaon saw him. I was on my round.' "I snppoee you have never seen the particular set of chessmonl" "No, sir." "And have so idea what they were like?" "Well, sir, I heard Mr. Dohson say tlttit they were Indian work in ivory, very finely carved with figures, ele phant, men on horseback, and the like." All the time that Darrent had been qnestioning Thompson his eye had never ceased to wander over the room, from the window to the bookcases, from the bookcases to the lofty chimney piece tnd hack to the window again. Those fonnd panea in the doors of the dark nak bookcases seemed to Darrent to glare down at him like wide open eyes wide open, staring eyes tuut never closed night or day, eyes that had gazed down on Josiah Mareden score npon score of times, eyes that had witnessed the murder. What was Josiah Maroden doing that fatal night T Was he sitting, solitary and alone, by the fire, the gray ashes of which still filled the grate, reading one or other of those treasnree of literature that lifted the shelves? Darrent walked ronnd the room and minutely examined the fastenings of the bookcases. No; the dnst proved that they bad not been opened for weeks. Had Marsden been eeated there at the table with the chessmen and board in front of him, working out some prob lem, when the assassin had crept noise lessly in, stolen behind him and stabbed him to death t Was there awthlng in all that room to afford one tiny clew to the mnrderert Had there been a struggle between the murderer and victim, and in it had there possibly been a tiny thread of material torn, or a button wrenched off, or an ornament broken, that conld af ford something of a clew T With eyes fixed on the floor, Darrent stood think ing, while Thompson waited respect fully on one side. Darrent paced the length of the room from the window to the fireplace eeveral times and pon dered. At last he panned in one of bis Journeys and gazed out over the whiten ed country. From the house to the riv rr not a footmark marred the surface. The snow that had drifted on to the broad window sill was undisturbed. There had been no escape that way. He faced ronnd and stood with his back to the light The wintry sun was shining full into the library and throw ing a ribbon of color across the floor. nd In its track upon the polished wood something white glittered. It was only a tiny speck, but it canght Darrent's eye. He stooped, picked it up and ex amined it closely. It seemed to be a broken piece of ivory, a little mite of lacelike filigree. He looked at it in the full light of the window, and suddenly it dawned npon bliu that here was his clew, here in this tiny scrap, for Dar reut felt confident that it bad formed part of the ornamental carving of a chessman, and it was a set of chessmen that some one hod been at great pains to secure from that very room. Yes. here was the clew t Once let him trace the set of chessmen that had been obtained from The Orange, once let him find that one was damaged anl satisfy himself that this fragment fitted, and the fiixt step in the discovery of the murderer of Jiwi.ih Marsden Wonld be accuiuplihed. tie caretnily wrapped the piece of ivory in a cigarette paper and placed.it in his imckptlxiok. Mow, Thompson," he said to the officer, who had been interesteoly watching his proceedings, "I think I've seen enough of this room, for the pres ent at any rate. I t us turn onr atten tion to a thorough search of the rest of the building. The murderer seems to have entered in the ordinary way, bnt be did not depart the same way at he entered. Therefore, Thompson, be knew of some other means of exit, and what we have got to do is to find it." iMrrvnt hail already arrived at the conclusion that the murder bad been committed by some one who possessed an intimate knowledge of the structure of The Orange itself and of aotne secret means of escape. There must be a aecre means of exit from the building of that he was confident bnt where t That was the trouble, and that they wonld have to discover. That the en trance bad been in the ninal and ordi nary way and the exit in some nnnsnal and extraordinary way was certain, and that gave rise to two possible the cries. One waa that the mnrierer was nier ly an ordinary visitor, with origi nal'? no ill intent Something which mh'lit never be solved had led to a qnarr.'l with old Marsden. and that had ended la struggle and hia death.

Together they left the librnry uud began their search. From gurret W basement they raneacked every room, bnt could discover nothing. Dunt reign ed supreme everywhere, nnd the nut careful investigation revealed no possi ble hiding pliu e or means of escnrm. i After several hours' thorough seiirc!) Dnrretit and his assistant conclusively satisfied themselves that the tuurden was not concealed upon the premis.. How. then, hud ho ewaisilt Ho bad. not gone ont by the front door, lu'.-n he must have escaped from tlie back i f The Grunge, and yet from the house trt the river the snow lay iu ono biikhho undisturbed niuntle of white. S,t a telltulo mark Is-trayed the way of tht4 murderer night. On the left of the entrance hull, op- posit e the library, was the only oHu r room that seemed to have been in con stant use. and nt the far end, in tlie same place, as the window was mtuat'd in the library, a fernery had bc-n built, but it was bare of foliage now anl boasted only a collection of dry ni'd withered shrnbs. This was the la.:l room Darrent entered. He stood in the conservatory and opened the door lead ing to the grounds. A flight of steps, pro tected by an ornamental iron awning, over which ivy and creeping plants bad grown, led down to a covered trcllised walk, where tho thick iutwining folia;;.' had kept the snow from penetrating. The walk extended from the bottom of the steps to an open rockery some fit feet away, built in the dip of the ground. Large masses of rugi;ed Btonn had been piled together, and rouh hewn steps led down to a d ,-ep poo! filled with brushes and aquatic plants. J The pool, which was frozen and black, Was overhung by drooping trees, win we pendent branches almost tombed it surface a charming spot iu summer, with its moss grow- stones, its white and yellow wuter lilii-s, its creeping plants and miniature waterfall plashing gently down, but now, in the grip of tlie ice kinir, its sylvan bennty wu transformed as by a magic wund. It seemed a very fuiry grotto. The over hanging trees gleamed white with fronted snow, glistening like riiitmfmds. and from every rock hung fantant ic ici cles in all the beauty of un Aladdin's cave. Darrent descended the steps and trav ersed the covered walk, which was en tirely froo from snow, nntil he reached the rough hewn steps tlint led down to the pool, and as he gazed nixin tho beauty of the scene before him and ad mired the pendent branches frosteil with their whito, feathery powder his keen eye was attracted by the slender trunk of a silver birch which some four feet from the ground showed a space a few inches wide alieeut of the snowy covering which decked the remainder of the tree. He carefnlly examined the spot It looked as thongh a hand had gripped it Then he bent down and a-rntinized tho earth at the foot of the birch. Yes, there was the mark as of a footstep. Any one coming from the covered walk that led from the con servatory to tho rockery would have been able without treading on any of the snow covered gronnd to have seized the trunk of that tree and so swung himself down toward the bottom of tho pool. Stepping carefully over the slip pery stone, IliitTent and Thompson reached the bottom and sttod side by side npon the frozen surface. Evidently some one had' been there before them, for the impression of foot prints was visible, leading to the very back of the grotto. Following the track, they pushed aside the long streamers of creeping plants coated with ice, that jingled musically as they moved them, and fonnd the grotto extended some feet beyond, nnd then it seemed to cease, shut in by heavy masses of rock, but on closer approach a narrow open ing at right angles became visible, and Into this the footprints led. ith an effort they forced themselves through the entrance and into a kind of tnnnel, at the far end of which a ray of lUrht shone like a star. The floor of the tun nel waa coated with ice, and evidently they were walking along the bod of a channel by which the over How from the grotto found its way ont into the river. Slowly and painfully thy groped along in the darkness, stumbling and slipping upon the smooth surface of the ice and In-nising their har.ds against the sides of ' the tunnel. Half way throngh, the pathway grew narrower and lower, and it was only by creeping in a painfully stooping attitnde that they conld get along at all. The light grew nearer. They struggled on for a dozen or so yards more and at length, throngh a tangled mass of shrnbs a id brushes, saw stretching bvfore them t!ie broad expanse of the river, while the ring of the skates sounded merrily io the distance. The skaters passed, flying like the wind, along the stretch of perfect ice. No one wss in sight either to the riu'ht or the left, ae. pushing aside the bushes, Herbert Darrent and bis companion j crept on their bands and knees from the . narrow causeway ont on to the frozen river, and the way of the escape of the ' murderer of Josiah Marsden was Solved. , CHAPTER UL 0!l TK TaACK.

Aguinnldo has, I believe, circulated this report aaongthe in surgeants, and I, therefore, particu krly desire that, In sending out the orders to the Brooklyn and the other ships that aro lo go to Ihe Philip- pints, the instructions shall be ac e .Hummed by tlie statement that they were sent at my request."

Eugene IV'gLiter. THUK bl .VS A HE NPlkEU. .Not much capital is being made by the free-trade Jouri als out of the fact that the Phieuix Irou Company of Phienixville recently secured the contract for the construction of the great Kagashina viaduct In Japan, They have stnse enough to realize that any effort along that line would prove abortive. w nen the Pingley bill waa up those gentlemen argued in the most learned manner that its enact meut would close every foreign port to American enterprise. The Phoenix Company and that at Pencoyd would never be able to build any more bridges in foreign parts if its provl slona went into effect. The Bald wins would never again get a con tract for locomotives and so the lugu brious story ran. In a word, the in dustrial heavens were to be hung with eternal black the sun would never shine again. Well, those dire predictions were not sustained by the facts. The bridge companies are building more foreign bridges than ever before. The Bald 's in locomotives are going to every country in the world. American s!ato is going into able-producing Wad's, the European continent gatn- l is lis grain -witli American reape s and rides on American bicycles. Am erican cutiery sells easily in Bhefileh, The tariff which was condemned as infamous has proved to be the re verse. Hence the free-trade reticence on this subject. Hence the howl about trusts and the Philippines. The free trade guns are all spiked. Their roar ia ended. They no longer even smoke. Philadelphia "Inquirer." ROOT'S srtEtii. While not so "'eloquent" to the ear aa some others, the speech rf Secretary Root at Chicago was Ihe most significant and forceful of any delivered by the traveling presiden tial party. Ilia answer to the autis was brief but conclusive Are these men (our army) fight ing a Filipino nation? No. There is no such thing. There are 60 differ ent tribes speaking 60 different lan guages, and of these all but oue wish to come under the control of the United Slates. Are we fighting all this one tribe the Tagals? No. We are fighting leas than one-half of this nation. We are lighting against the selfish ambition- of a military dicta. tor. . . The title we have won to the island of Luzon ia better than our title to Louisiana or Texas, and it rests upon a higher duty to human Ity." Thus spoke the head of the war department, and oue of the ablest lawyers in the country. SOMEThTvU TO THINK A II OUT. The quick guessing theorists who have decided that the only way to checkmate the trusts is to rt-js-al Pro tective duties might do worse than ponder for a moment over the trust plank adopted by the Nebraska state republican convention a few days ago. Here it is : We denounce the attempt now des perately being made to array labor and capital in hostile camps. The republican party, now as always, op poses trusts and' combinations hav ing for their purpose the sliding of competition and arbitrarily control ling production or fixing prices; but we als i recognize that legitimate business interests, fairly capitalized aud homstly managed, have built up our ii dustries at home, given the largest employment to labor, at the highest wages, and have enabled us to successfully compete with foreign countries in the markets of the world. Such industries must not be struck down by legislation aimed at dishonestly organized institutions which destroy legitimate enterprise aud the opportunities of labor and plunder the public. There is in this statement enough to cause some of the quick guesscn to think twice before they bold up their hands tor the removal of Ihe protective tariff from the federal statute books that is, provided they ever think.
