"The first was a house keeper she bad, named Caroline Barstell. She waa a sickly old thing and believed In ghosts she thought she was a medium and had second sight but she waa keen. She was keen the way fortune tellers are when they study a person and then tell them what their past has been and what their characters are. She told Ella right out to her face she was a woman. That night Mrs. Barstell had a fit and died." "Ella had poisoned her?" "Yes, and that was the first That was what started EUa getting the sick ones from the hospital Dr. Blessington made no trouble over the. Barstell woman's death; he said she had been in danger of death at all times." Abner Dart was silent a moment "There were nine others," he said hoarsely. "Nine others. When Ella suspected that one of them believ ed she was a woman that one died." "And who Is Amy, Abner " Before Abner Dart could answer Simon Judd's question the silence was broken by cries and loud noises within the house and Brennan leap ed for the door and ran inside. For a brief period the noise continued, then It was silenced and Brennan came out again. "That Maggie cook was cutting loose," he said. "She has been rfrlnWInC mora but I tOOk the Stuff from her and she promised to be a good girl, ma you Bay woo mnj was, Dart?" "Bha'a rrne " Abner Dart re gion "Along? during these last years Ella complained a good deal had never had a child, It bothered her mind. She talked to me about it She worried be cause we were old and there would be no one to leave the money to, nr,H t tnid her to adoDt a child. She used to go away when she was tn Hot Snrings when she had appendicitis; she couldn't . . . i , i i ,1, let the doctors nere nanuie uei ni nes., of course, bo she went away. She went to California on one of the trips when she thought she was going to be sick, and she heard of a nrono there and tried to find him his name was Silas, but he had died and his wife had died and they had left this baby. So Ella orinntori it That is Amy. That is all we ever knew about Amy. She was a great comfort to Ella, these years, especially these last months." "Well, black my cats, I'm glad to know there was some good in the woman!" Simon Judd exclaimed. "Did she make that will she was talking about leaving the money to Amy?" "Vm and aha war cFninflr to give Amy a fine sum when she married. We liked Bob Carter. It was like ending with something clean after a lot of vileness to Know we wouia leave these two when we went," Abner Dart said. "It did not pay, Sime. She made a mistake, Ella did. She wasn't happy and I wasn't hnnnv .Tnhn Drone's monev did her no good and it did me no good. I'd have enjoyed lire more jusi Deing a second-rate undertaker out there in Rlverbank, burying some old friend now and then, and going along nice and easy." Amy was weeping now, crying gently, and Bob Carter, sitting on the arm of her chair was trying to comfort her. Norbert, coughing, rnmo tn th door. He seemed to think B.rennan was In charge of the house, for he spoke to mm. "if vnn nlo(u Mint. Brennan." he said, "George Firmandlck has Jus' gone an' died all or a suaaen an Maggie is startin' to carry on mighty bad." "Where la she?" Krennan asKea. "She's ud in his room ovah the garage," Norbert said, "an' she won't let nobody come up. She's irot hold of a knife and I reckon flhu'i nhim irnne crazv." "I'll be out there in a minute," Brennan said. "Have the two offi cers go out with you, will you? Hurry now! I just want to ask Mr nor! a nnnnln nf Questions." Norbert hurried away, coughing aa he went and Abner Dart made a rnahiro nf desnair with his hand and his face became sadder than ever. "Last night," Brennan said, "when Carter here went through the li brary, Dart, you said to Ella to John Drane, if you please some- thlnir IlkA 'Dnn't rin it! I warn VOU not to!1 or 'I'm against it; remember what I say!' Something or tnai sort. What did you mean by that? Were you warning your wife not to let Amy marry Carter?" "No," Abner Dart said nouowiy. "Oh. not that; never that! We both wanted that" "Then It wasn't over that you and Ella Drane quarreled last night after Simon Judd went to bed." "You know we quarreled, then?" Abner Dart asked dully. "Wo knnw It" Brennan said. "Why did you not stay the night as had been arranged?" For a full minute Abner Dart did not answer and when he did It was in the voice of one talking in his sleep. "I'm old! I'm old! And Im tired! A man can stand so much and then he can stand no more. I had thought she was through with her killing and that we mignt nave a few years of peace and gentleness hofnro w Hied. Rut she told me there in there, last night that an other had to die; another had come to believe she was a woman, tieorge the chauffeur, had. George Firman dick had. She told me last night that George must die before morn ing, and that was what I was beg ging her not to do. That was why we quarreled. That was why I went away last night I told her I was through with her through lor er. ' "Tlarl " Rrannnn demanded flharD- ly, "do you know who killed Ella Dart last night?" "No! I do not know!" the little man said, shaking his head. "If I knew I would tell you. I " One of the police officers inter rupted this time, coming around the veranda, walking firmly on his broad soles. "Brennan!" he said, motioning to the detective with a finger. "What la It .Ine?" Rrennan asked. "The cook lady, Maggie Maney ner name is, naa a speii ana passea out up yonder In the chauffeur's room just now," the officer said. "I don't know was she right in her mind or not but sne was snoutin that the dead woman had killed the chauffeur. She was shoutin" that the dead woman was murderin' all that guessed she was a female, sir, nnrf that laat nlp-ht she SAW the dead woman who was not yet dead, you understand, xsrennan givin George some drops, at which time the cook waa in the chauffeur's clos et, I'm sorry to say, sir." "And said Brennan question inlv as he closed his note book and dropped it in his pocket. "And the last woras tne cook shouted before she passed out" the officer said, "was to the effect that she had murdered this late John Drane, now known to be a female, usin' a knife as the implement, the object of the said crime being re venge, and the crime bein' actuated by love and affection tor the said George Firmandlck, now deceased." "Write all that down before you forget any of it, Joe," Brennan said. "You'll have to give that to the Grand Jury, possibly." Ua turned tn Simon Judd. "I think that's our case," he said. "Tt'o nnt mnrh for US but it Will be a big story for the newspapers. By the time it reaches Riverbank you ought to be quite a nero aetecuve, Judd." "If I ain't," Simon Judd said pla cidly, "it won't be my fault" (The End.) IS STUDENT BODY PREXY.

FROM THE RIVERS COME Water for Minine Water for Irrigation Water for Manufacture Water for Lumbering Water for Communities Hydro-electric Power SHALL WE TIE UP FOUR GREAT RIVERS THE modern automobile is a finely built piece of ma chinery and it will stand a lot of abuse. Considering the work it does, it gives sur prisingly little trouble. But there isn't car made that will not run better and longer if given proper care. The first few hundred miles are especially impor tant because that is when the mechanism of your car is being broken in. Proper attention during this period will lengthen its life and prevent unnecessary trouble later on. We are particularly inter ested in this matter because we believe it is our duty not only to make a good auto mobile, but to help the owner get the greatest pos sible use over the longest period of time at a mini mum of trouble and expense. With, this in view, the entire Ford, dealer organ ization has been speciully trained and equipped to ser vice, the new Model A car. Furthermore, we have in. tructed every rord 1.. i. oivr, the rlii following Free Inspection Service at 500, 1000 and 1500 miles i Check batten Check generator charging rate Check distributor adjustment Check carburetor adjustment Check Ughtt Check brakes Check shock absorber adjust ment Check tire inflation Check steering gear Change engine oil Lubricate chassis No charge is made for labor or materials incidental to this service, except, of course, where repairs are necessary through accident, misuse or neglect. The only charge is for new oil. See your Ford dealer, therefore, and get this Free Inspection of your new car at 500, 1000 and 1500 miles. Find out, too, how little it will cost to have your car given a thorough going over at regular periods thereafter. A checking-up by experi enced mechanics, together with oiling and greasing every 500 miles, will add. months and years to the life of your car and mean more Mnnnmical and plea surable motoring every mile you drive.
