Revelation
By ELINOR MARSH

W hen John Dowling retired from tlie
police, a t a dinner giveu him he told
the following story:
"Most of you will rem em ber the
Charuley m urde r case. A fter a mouth
had passed and we had given out ev
ery day or so th a t we were on the
track of the m u rd e re r and would get
him suit- the public begun to lose con
fidence and the papers were full of
a< athlng re m a rk s about the police. An
election for city oilioers w a s coming
on, and th e chief told me one duy to
drop e verything else and work on the
Charuley case, Intim ating th a t the ad-
m inistration’s control depended on my
discovering th e murderer.
“1 did a hard lot of thinking on the
problem. Indeed. 1 begun to fear that
If 1 kept on 1 would ru n Into mouomu-
uutniu. I walked the tloor nights tr y
ing to p u t this and tha t together to
construct u theory of the murder. So
my w ife put me hi a room by myself
w here I could prowl without waking
her or the children.
"One nig h t a fte r the usual brain
racket 1 fell Into u slumber. 1 don’t
know how long 1 slept, hut 1 think It
was about a n hour. Then 1 woke up
and sta rte d ut seeing a man standing
by my bed.
••‘Come With me,’ tie said, ’and l -ll
p u t you on to an explanation of the
Charuley m urder.’
"1 Jumped out of lied, bustled on my
clothes, strapped on my revolver—for
despite my anxiety to get the Inform a
tion he promised 1 did not forget tha t
he hud come Into my house w ithout
being adm itted, a n d l was som ew hat
suspicious of him and followed him
¿lowiistuirs. A horse and buggy were
standing a t the door. We climbed Into
the vehicle, the fellow whipped up the
horse, und olT we went.
“1 was so Im patient and curious to
know w h a t w as coining that 1 tried to
pum p It out of him, but It's mouth
w as shut like an oyster, and never a
word «ltd he speak from the time we
sta rte d till we pulled up lit front of
the house In which Charuley’s bob.'
had been found the morning lifter tin
murder. 1 knew It was that house,
though 1 d id n ’t know any one of the
family of the m urdered man. It ha.I
been sh u t up since the tragedy, but
now there w ere lights tn every part
“ My companion alighted, led me to
the house and, opening the front door
for tne, bade m e enter. What became
of him a f te r tha t 1 don't know. I
didn't see him again, unless one of the
persons about whom 1 aiu going to tei'
you w as he.
"H e a rin g voices mingled with sobs
upstairs, 1 ran up and stood ip an
opening on th e second tloor. looking
Into a bedroom through an open door
Ou a couch lay the llgure of a man.
hut a n u m b e r of persons were crowd
lug about him so tha t 1 could not see
his face. A young woman wus on her
knees beside the couch, hysterically
clinging to the body, while another
w om an w as trying to draw her away.
A m an w as standing spurt, wringing
his hands. 1 stepped Into the room,
and the moment he saw me lie col
lapsed. T he woman trying to draw
the girl aw a y from the body turned
and, seeing me, uttered n shriek. Then
Bhe dropped on her knees before me.
amt betw een her sob* said:
" ‘h o u ’t ta k e Mill! He made a terrible
mistake. Oli. w hy didn't I confide m
hlui? Let me explain, and when you
know bow we suffer at w ha t lias o c
curred I am sure you will not add t >
our misfortune. Tills I* my Intimate
friend' pointing to tin- girl beside the
couch. ’She was i.isrrle 1 clandestinely

Huge could not be publii tied because
her full e r would disinherit her. I per
mitted them to meet here. My bus

denly and found him here with me,
w aiting for her. Mad with jealousy,
w ithout giving us time to explain, he
seized u heavy glass ornam ent and
brought It dow n on th e victim's head.
Please go aw ay from here and any
nothing. We are the only ones who
know of the tragedy.’
"1 was thinking w hat I could say to
the woman to m ake It easy for her—
for I felt obliged to rei>ort th e m a tte r
—w hen th e lights w eut out and left
me in darkness.
"I was aw akened In the morning by

sleep or stupor, I don’t know which.
She could only get me up by telling uie

a cup of coffee and went to bt adquar-
