line. The girls are sinters, and
their father is John J. Palley, chief
bookkeeper for the Hofl'elt-West
Drug Company. The family Is very
well known. The Tamer ho? been
for years actuary for the mercantile

girls are very handsome and have
lino voices. They have often ap
jwarrd lu amateur theatricals, and
both aspired to shine as professional
stars. About the middle of July an
opera company was organized lu Bt.
Louis by au Euglshmaii named W.
It. Wllllutiif, who, It is said came to
this city veil provided with proper
references. Among those whose
services he succeeded in enlisting In
the enterprise were the Pally sisters.
They knew their parents would ob
ject, so a scheme was fixed by which
tho girls pretended to be taklm;
music le-sous from Mr. Williams.
The family home la in the extrerme
south end of the city, and the girl
easily deceived the parents by pre
tending to visit friends uptown.
The company was organized and a
tour arrauged of small ne.ir-by III1
nols towns. The parents thought
their daughters were with some ac
quaintance in the city until they re
ceived a letter announcing that Miss
Alice bad married Williams, the
manager of the enterprise, Julia had
married Harry li. Morgan, tho tenor
of tho troujte. The fat her started af er

Tell liliu to pnt It in tho drawing
! room," commanded tho master. "Placo
it near the piano, do you hearr
"Yes. sir."
The volet left the room nnd Eugene
Scranton reapplied himself to his break
fast, his newspaper and hU self con
gratulations. It was midnight nnd Eugene Scran
ton lay awake, tossing restlessly upon
his bed. The world was treating hhn
well, but his conscience, that most
obnoxious organ of the human make
up. had become so aggressive that sleep
had deserted his fevered couch.
lu the silent, dark, mysterious hours
of night it makes little difference to n
man what 'his fellow creatures may
think of hhn. At that solemn time
what he thinks of himself is all that is
essential. Eugene Scranton knew that
lie was a murderer. In tho bustle and
excitement of tho day tills self convic
tion was not powerful nor poignant In
tho silent watches of tho night, how
ever, It becamo unbearable. From tho
shadows of his room ono face gazed at
him tho face of Alexander Dale. He
arose, dipped n handkerchief In ice
water nud placed tho refresldng cloth
against the baso of his brain. For a
few momenta lie nppeared to doze.
The blood that surged upward was
cooled for a time, and a simple device
seemed about to triumph over tho in
somnia that had driven him well nigh
mad.
It Is not easy, however, to escape the
punishment that follows sin. Eugene
Scranton did not fall asleep. The
blissful unconsciousness that his crime
tortured nature craved wooed him for
awhile, then fled from him as though
In horror. He was farther from sleep
than before! and again his staring eyes
saw in tho darkness tho faco of Alexan
der Dale.
An hour had passed, an hour of
agony to Scranton. Twice had ho
pressed his revolver against his throb
bing temple. Twice had ho realized
that he dared not rush to a fato that
frightened Hamlet and mado Cato
pause. A man who commits murder
from greed seldom commits suicide
from choice.
At last the strain becamo unbearable.
Scranton Bprang from bed and rushed
to thu window.
"Oh, God, I must confess my crimol
I must confessl I must confessl"
He throw up tho sash. A belated
citizen was hurrying homeward on the
opposite side of tho street. "I'll call to
him and tell him tho awful secret of
my soul." thought Scranton. "Waitl"
Tho cry startled tho silent street and
echoed weirdly through tho dismal
night. Alarmed by his voice, Scranton
shut tho window with a crash and
rushed Into tho outer room. In the
dim light ho saw beforo him tho out
lines of his phonograph. Hysterically
ho throw his arms around tho machino
and kissed it.
"I'm saved I" ho whispered. "I'll tell
you tho history of my fall.''
Night after night tho fatal cylinder
gave comfort to Eugene Scranton. If
tho murderer awoke in tho still, dark
hours and tho shadow of his criino
crossed his soul, ho would stealthily
leave his bedroom and placo in effect
ive position tho ear pieces of tho accus
ing machine Then witli ghastly satis
faction ho would listen to tho following
repetition of tho talo ho had told tho
sympathetic wax:
"I killed Aloxander Dale. I had
hated him for years. Together wo had
concocted a Bchemo whereby wo could
fleoco Investors who desired to gain a
fortuno in tho twinkling of an eye. It
was my brain that doveloped tho idea
of n westorn land Improvement com
pauy that would not bo western, would
own no land, would havo nothing to do
with improvements and bo a company
only in naino.
"I needed a well knoivn man to give
his iniluonco aud reputation to the
swindle, nnd found in Dale a colleague
who was weak enough to follow my
guidance, but clover enough to retain
In his grip a thorough control over my
lifo. After months of temptation I
yloldod to tho volco of tho dovil and
determined to rid myself of the only
man In the world who stood between
mo and success and safety. I killed
hhn cleverly. Ho had had tho utmost
couildenco in my uprightness, nnd
when ono evening, after dining with
him nt his rooms, ho expressed n wish
to tako mo to ono of his clubs I pleaded
fatigue, asked permission to finish my
cigar in his drawing room, nnd saw him
sally forth a doomed man.
"Tho rest was easy. For hours I
awaited his return. When I heard his
footsteps on tho stairs I concealed my
self behind n portiere. After ho had
undressed nud had fallen Into a deep
sleep, I plunged a dagger into his heart.
Oh, It was delicious. I havo enjoyed
all the sensations tlmt tompt tho
wealthy epicure. Thero Is only ono
that fills tho soul with porfuit ecstasy
that Is tho bliss that pertains to mur
der." Hero tho cylinder made an Incoherent
sound nnd thu confession ceased.
Eugene Scranton's valet, John, was
not a genius, but ho possessed a good
deal of shrewdness and n fair amount
of common souse. From tho moment
of its arrival ho had been intensely In
terested In what he called "tho funny
graph." When his master was away ho
spent much of his tlmo In trying to
make tho machine work. At first the
results wore not satisfactory, but after
a week of mental effort ho solved the
problem luvolvod and thereafter en
joyed himself greatly.
Scnuiton was constantly buying now
cylinders; some with operatic music,
others with banjo solos or recitations
by famous actors. Thu much used
cylinder coutulning Ids coufesslon he
kept carefully locked In a drawer by
itself, and placed it on tho machine
only at tho dead of night Ono night,
after quieting his consoiouco by listen
ing to tho ghastly story of his crimo, he
failed to lock the compartment re
served for the accusing wax. It was a
fatal omission ; murder will out unless
you always turn the key.
Tho next afternoon John, tho valet,
experienced tho most frightful sensa
tion of his life. He listened, awestruck,
to hi master's voice as It related the
ktory of a great crime. Then, like the
njirowd man ho was, he iA.t down raid
.ini.ni .rill, himself tho lest method
of turning this weird llnd to his own
advnntago. At tirst lie was inciuieu w
inform 8cranton that no nau uiacuv-
irwl Ills secret John realized that his
silence was worth a great deal of
money, and he knew that Scranton
could afford to pay well to escape tho
gallows.
But the vnlet was at heart a coward.
He had long stood In awe of his master,
n,.,i In. mulcted that a man who mur
ders one unfortunate who holds his se
cret would not hesitate to sacrmco n
second victim. So John abandoned
tho idea of blackmail.
In connection witli his plionographlo
amusements, the valet had discovered
that handsome prices were paid by a
"nickel in-the-slot" company for novel
cylinders. After an hour of medita
tion. John dotenninea to taso cugcuu
Hni-ntitnn's confession to this concern,
demand a big prico for it and then
leave tho city at once.
Arriving nt tho ofilco of the phono
graph company, ho astonished tho man
ager by theso werds:
"Vnn rpiiiemberthe sensationnl death
of Alexander Dale some months ago?
Well, the man was murdered. This
cylinder here holds tho confession of
the man who killed him my master.
Now, you will tako this cylinder to tho
police and they will arrest tho mur
derer. On tho instant the city will
ring witli the news. Meanwhile you
have reproduced the cylinder a thou
sand times and your public machines
contain the most sensational attrac
tion ever offered to the victims of tho
phonographic habit. See? My prico
is $1,000. Is it a bargain?"
"Yes," said the manager, writing out
a check. John, the valet, sailed for
Europe that afternoon.
Eugene Scranton has been con
demned to death. Ho will dio by elec
tricity tho agent of his confession.

the Turkish government an annual
tributo of about 3,500.
Tho monks follow the rule of St.

Johnny Williams is a bright little
boy of flvo nnd lives up town. Tho
other morning, during a siego of rain,
Johnny could not go out to play, but
sovcral Httlo companions came to see
him. Ono of tho boys had been to
Sunday school, and was relating what
ho had hoard about how tho world was
mado. Johnny's mother stole silently
to tho door of the dining room, in
which tho Httlo fellows wero, and lis
tpned. "God mado tho world in just six
days, and ho didn't havo nothln' to
mako it with," she heard tho small
speaker say.
Tho others wero silent for a moment.
Then Johnny spoke up: "And wasn't
there any world at all? Notliin' no
whero?" ho asked.
"No, there just wasn't nothin' at all."
"Well," said Johnny after a pause,
"what did God stand on whilo ho was
at work?"
And tills poser closed tho discussion.
