man college in Walla Walla, where
she has been doing fine, hut is com-
nelled to be awav from her studies
at present because of serious illness
"Yes, the first," Abner Dart said
so weakly that they could hardly
hear him. "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

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 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
