From the New York Sun. Commissioner Bensel. of the street.' cleaning department, held an exhlbi-. lion on the plaza recently with Dep uty Bill Edwards as chief marshal.1 It was the lirst trial of the proposed ! method of cleaning the streets by wa-; tei. About 9 o’clock some forty white! wings solemnly took up a position on the plaza. Shortly afterward Deputy Com-, missior.er Edwards tooted up In an au tomobile and got things in readiness.' (luests of tile Hotel Savoy and the Niw Netherlands and members of the Metropolitan club gathered on the bal conies to see what '.as coming off. Deputy Edwards ltd the way to a dark corner of the park. where ir queer looking machine was drawn up! It was a cast Iron water wagon, but) at first sight it looks like one of the great lakes whalebacks. The wagon is the invention of Harry S. Dewey,’ president of the Atlantic Street Flush ing company. According to Mr. Edwards the wagon exhibited weighed 4,500 pounds and had a water capacity of 250 gal lons. In the front is an air tank which has a pressure of twenty-five pounds and the air pressure forces the wa ter out at ttie rear in two strong streams which spread fan like for a distance of ten feet on each side. Mr, Dewey asserts that the wagon will Jo away with the necessity for hand labor in cleaning the streets. After the wagon and its workings had been fully explained to the news paper men Deputy Commissioner Ed wards took an extra hitch on hi4 trousers and led the way out into the plaza. Commissioner Bensel had not yet arrived so it was determined tq hold a rehearsal. First several horse sweepers were sent on a trot over the asphalted plaza in an imposing array. Then the water wagon got busy. With a loud swish the water poured from one of the flushers in the rear and it was feared that Deputy Ed wards had been swept away, but both he and the Sherman statue were in tact. After the wagon had gone up and down the plaza it was shown that it had cleaned away the surface dirt neatly and piled it up on each side of the plaza. Then the white wings gathered it up. Commissioner Bensel arrived after the wagon’s first trial. “We are merely making an experi ment.’’ he said. “The whole idea is to find some method of cleaning the streets more thoroughly and with the use of mechanical apparatus rather than by hand. If this flushing wagon proves a success the city could save a great deal of money on hose and many other things. After the traffic of the day was finished, fifty or sixty of these wagons could be sent out and clean the streets more thoroughly and In less time than is done at pres, ent." WORN TO' A SKELETON. A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation In a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles X. Preston, of Elk says : "Three years ago I found that my house work was becoming a burden. I tired easi ly. had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar In the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugiir disappeared.

STEVENSON Author of "The Holladay Case," "Cadets of Gascony,” Etc. I CHAPTER I. A CALL IN THE NIGHT. A sudden gust of wind wrenched the loor from Godfrey's grasp and slammed It with a bang that echoed through the building. "Anything doing?" he asked, as he Capped the rain from his coat. Slmmonds, the grizzled veteran of the Central office, now temporarily in vhurge of the devious business of the "Tenderloin." shook his head despond ently. “Not a thing. Only,” he added, his tyes gleaming suddenly with apprecia tion, "you were right about that De \anne abduction case. it was all a [aked-up story on the mother's part. 6he confessed this evening." “1 thought she would if you kept at ler," said Godfrey, sitting down with i quick nod of satisfaction. "She Hasn't nerve enough to carry through i thing like that—she's too pink-and tvhite How does it happen you're ilone?" "Johnston’s gone down to Philadel phia to bring back Riggs, the forger. Fleming's got the grip. Bad night, lin’t it?” "Horrible!" agreed Godfrey. "Listen to that, now.” A gust of extra violence howled down the street, rattling the windows, shriek ng around the corners, tearing down «igns, and doing such other damage as lay in its power. There was a certain similarity in the faces of the two men, especially in the lxpression of the eyes and mouth. Age, Jowever, had given to Slmmond’s fea tures a trace of stolidity which was Hunting in those of his companion. He lad been connected with the Central ifHce for many years—was dean of the force, in fact—and thougli he had de •elopcd no special genius in his deal ■ v i j 111 v , lit: il iiuuici ’f fact Industry and personal courage which had frequently achieved success. In the end, his chief had come to trust lim greatly, probably because the bril liant theorists of the force made so many fortunate mistakes. Godfrey was a brilliant theorist and lomethlng more. He was not so pat ent as Slmmonds, but then he was nuch younger. He had more Imagina tion, and perhaps his greatest weak ness was that he preferred picturesque lolutlons to commonplace ones. Dur ing his three years’ connection with the force he had won four or five no table victories—so notable, Indeed, that they attracted the attention of the Rec ord management. The end of It was that Godfrey resigned his badge and entered the Record office as criminal' expert, climbing gradually to the posi tion of star reporter. Since then, the Record had not waited on the police; Indeed, it had been rather the other way around. It was with Slmmonds that Godfrey bad long since concluded an alliance pffenslve and defensive. The one sup plemented the other—the eagle gave byes to the mole; the mole gave the talgle the power of working patiently in Ihe dark. Simmonds kept Godfrey in touch with police affairs; Godfrey en abled Slmmonds to make a startling ar test now and then. Godfrey got the •tory, Slmmonds got the glory, and Doth were satisfied. It may be added that, without in the least suspecting It, the mole was considerably under the frirtuence of the eagle. Brains naturally lead Industry; besides, the blind must cave guidance. They listened until the gust of wind lied away down the street, then God frey arose and began to button up his coat, "Nevertheless,” he said, "I’ve got to be moving on. I can't stay loafing here, t wouldn’t have stopped at all but for the chance of seeing you.” "Oh, don't go,” protested Slmmonds. I was mighty glad to see you come Jn- I was feeling a little lonesome. Wait till this squall’s over, anyway— and have a smoke.” Godfrey took the proffered cigar and relapsed into his chair. "I'm only human,” he said as he ptruck a match, "and, besides, ’ there's W fascination about you, Slmmonds— there's always a chance of getting a good story out of you. You know more about the criminal history of New York than any other man living I think.” Slmmonds chuckled complacently. "I have been In on most of the big vu.Pco, we agi et:u, ■‘Come, now," continuod the other persuasively, "if I consent to stay, you've got to produce a story. Take those big cases—which do you think was the best of the lot?" "The best?" "The most Intricate, I mean—the most puzzling—the hardest to solve.” “Well,” and Slmmonds rolled his cigar reflectively, "the hardest to solve of course, were those that were never solved at all. There was the shooting of old Benjamin Nathan, in the sum mer of '70, at his house on West Thirty third street, and there was the stab bing of Harvey Burdell. I never had the least doubt that Burdell was killed by Mrs. Cunningham, the woman he'd secretly married. The stabbing was done by a left handed person, and she was left handed; but we weren't able to convict her.” "Yes," nodded Godfrey; “and the Nathan case?” "There wasn't anybody in the house, bo far as known, but the two sons ” said Slmmonds slowly, “and both of them managed to proye an alibi. But I've always thought— Hello! What’s this?" The door flew back with a crash and a man rushed in—a heavy set man with red cheeks, who stopped, gasping! clutchtng at his throat. j Godfrey had a flask to his lips in an Instant. “Come, brace up!” he commanded Bternly, slapping the stranger on the back. "Take a swallow of this—that's "It seems to me I know him,” re marked Slmmonds, looking at' the Hushed countenance with contemplative eye. "Of course you do!" gasped the stranger. "I’m Higgins—th’ Marathon," and he jerked his head toward the door. “Oh, yes,” said Slmmonds. “You’re the janitor of the Marathon apartment house. Just across the street.” “Well, what’s happened at the Mar athon?" demanded Godfrey. “No ghosts iver there, I hope?" “Tu-re’ll be one." answered Higgins, his eyes beginning to pop again. "Oh, my God!” "Come," repeated Godfrey sharply. "Out with It! What Is it'."’ "It's murder, that's what it is!” cried Higgins hoarsely. “1 seed him, a-layln' on his back——" He stopped and covered his eyes with nis hands. Slmmonds had quietly op ened a drawer and slipped a revolver Into Itis pocket. Then he took down the receiver from his desk phone. "That you, sergeant?” he called. “This Is Sinimonels. Send three men over to the Marathon right away.” He put hack the receiver with a Jerk. Godfrey twirled the Janitor sharply around in the direction of the door. "Go ahenl.” he commanded, and pushed rather than led him out Into the storm. They made a dash for it through the rain, which was still pouring in tor rents. Halfway across the street, they descried a cab standing at the farther curb, and veered to the right to avoid It. "Here we are." said Higgins, running up a short flight of steps into a lighted vestibule "It's In soot fourteen -sec ond floor." They sprang up the stairs without thinking of the elevator—one flight, two • • « Higgins began to choke again. A single door stood open, throwing a broad glare of light across the hallway. "It's there," said Higgins, and stopped to gasp for breath. The others ran on. For an Instant, they stood upon the threshold, gazing Into tlie room—at a huddled form on the floor, with a red stain growing and growing upon its breast—at a woman staring white-faced from the farther corner—a woman, tall, with black hair and black eyes. Then Godfrey stepped toward her with a quick exclamation of surprise, incredulity, horror. "Wliy, it’s Miss Croydon!" he said. CHAPTER II. A TANGLED WEB. Slmmonds had dropped ort one knee beside the body. He was up again In an instant. "No need for an ambulance,” he said tersely. "He’s dead." The words seemed to rouse the girl from the ecstasy of horror which pos sessed her, and she burled her face In her liands, shuddering convulsively. Godfrey caught her as she swayed for ward. and led her gently to a chair. "Perhaps you don’t remember me. Miss Croydon," he said. "Godfrey’s ray name—It was only the other night at Mrs. Delroy's I met you. It was Jack Drysdale who Introduced me—you know I'm an old friend of his.” “Yes.” she murmured indistinctly, “I remember quite-” An exclamation from Slmmonds In terrupted her. He had picked up a small, pearl-handled revolver from the floor in the corner. "Is this yours, miss?" he asked. She nodded faintly. He snapped It open and looked at the chambers. One had been discharged. He sniffed at the barrel, then held It out to Godfrey. The odor of burnt gunpowder was plainly discernible. Godfrey's face hardened as he turned to the janitor, who had regained bis breath and stood staring on the threshold. "My friend," he said, ”»rfauit the door He stopped as he heard the tramp of heavy feet approaching along the cor ridor. “Wait," said Slmmonds. "There come my men. I'll be back In a minute.” Godfrey nodded curtly, and waited until Slmmonds closed the door after him. "Now, Miss Croydon*” he said, “tell me quickly how it happened. I can't help you unless I know the whole atory, and I want to help you.” The gentleness of hts voice, ithe quiet assurance of his manner, the encourag ing glance, combined to calm aad strengthen her. She sat up, wtth an effort of self-control, and clasped her hands together In her lap. "There Isn’t much to tell," she began, striving to speak steadily. "I came here to—to keep an appointment She stopped, her voice dying away, an able to go on. "With this man?” asked Godfrey. “Who Is he?" “I don’t know,” and she cast a hor rified gance at the huddled form. “I never saw him before.” "Then It wasn’t he you came here to meet?” "No—that Is—it may have been—-—” And again she stopped. “Miss Croydon,” said Godfrey, gently yet clearly, ”1 can't help you unless you’re quite frank with me, and 1 fear you are going to stand In need of help*. Did you kill this man?” "No!” she cried. "Oh, no!” Her face was In her hands again aad she was trembling; It was impossible to doubt that she spoke the truth. "Then who did?” There was no answer; only a dry, convulsive sobbing. As Godfrey paused to look at her. the door opened and Slmmonds came In. He closed it and snapped the lock! "There's a policeman outside and one at each landing.” he announced. "We’ll look things over here, and then searcb the building. First, let's look at the Lriilir ** It was lying partly on its back, partly un its right side, with its legs doubled under It. The face was a bearded one, rough, coarse, and a little bloated—not ;i prepossessing face under any circum stances, and actively repulsive now, with its gaping mouth and widely staring eyes. It was tanned and seamed by exposure to wind and rain and there was a deep scar acrods the left temple. ‘ Between 50 and 60 years of age,” re marked Godfrey. “Pouf! smell the whisky.” Then, looking into the staring eyes, he uttered a (udder* exclamation. “See there, Simmonds. how the right pupil’s dilated. Do you know what that means?” Simmonds sh >ok his head. "No, I can’t s^iy I do.” “It means,” said Godfrey, “that somebody hit tnis fellow a hard blow jn the left side of the head and pro duced a hemorrhage of the brain.” Simmonds gave a little low whistle. “That could hardly have been her,” md he nodded toward the girl, who had regained her self-control and was leaning anxiously forward, eyes and jars intent. "No, of course not. Let’s see If he .vas really shot.” They stripped back the shirt from he breast. A little Wood was still celling from a wound just over the neart. “That’s what did the business,” ob served Simmonds, “and at close range, oo; see there, ’ ^nd he pointed to the ed marks about the wound. "lie wasn’t shot from the oarnar, that's sure. Let's see what he’s got in his Dockets.” The examination was soon made, rhere were only a pipe, a knife, a Dackage of cheap tobacco, & handful of oose coins, and an old pocketbook con aining a little roll of newspaper clip Dings and a receipt for a month’s rent 'or suite 14 made out to "PL. Thomp son.” "Thompson," repeated Stmmonds, “and a lot* of clippings. Can you read French, Godfrey?" "A little," answered Godfrey mod estly. “Let me see." He took the clip pings and looked at the first one. “ "Suresnes. September 16, 1891," " he '■ read haltingly. " ‘I have to report an event the most Interesting which has Just happened here, and which proves again the futility of vows the moat rig orous to quiet the ardent desires of the human heart or to change the-—’ ” "Oh, well," Interrupted Stmmonds, “we can't waste time reading any more of that rot; It sounds like a French novel. The coroner can wrestle with It, if he thinks It worth while." He replaced the clippings In the purse, which he slipped back Into the pocket from which he had taken It. "Now,” he added, rising to his feet, “we'd better get the girl's story." "I)o you know who he Is?" asked Godfrey. In a low voice. As he glanced at her, he was startled to note her at titude of strained attention, which, as he turned, lapsed Instantly to one of seeming apathy. "I heard you call her Miss Croydon.” "Yes—she's the slater of Mrs. Rich ard Delroy.” Again Simmonds whistled. "The deuce you say! Dickie Delroyl Well, that doesn't make any differ ence," and he turned toward her reao- . lutely. "Miss Croydon," he began abruptly, | though perhaps In a gentler voice thaji he would have used toward the aver- 1 age suspect, "were you In the room when this man was killed?" “Yes, sir.” “You know him?” “Only slightly," she answered coolly, disregarding Godfrey's stare of amaze ment. "His name, 1 think, was Thomp son." "You had an engagement with him here?" "Yes, sir; on a private matter which cannot concern the police." Simmonds passed that over for a mo ment. "Will you kindly tell us Just what happened?” he asked. "1 drove here In a cab," she said, speaking rapidly, "which I told to wait i for me. In the vestibule, I met the Janitor, and asked to be conducted to suite II. He brought me up here wherq Mr.—Mr. Thompson was waiting. I entered and closed the door. We were Ifliklnp tnppt her vvllftn tlm drtoe n# Ik. Inner room opened and a man came out. Before I realized what he wan doing, he raised a bar of Iron he held In his hand and struck Mr. Thompson upon the head. Then, standing over htm, he drew a revolver and fired one shot at him. I had shrunk away Into the corner, but thinking him a mad man, believing my own life In danger, I drew my pocket pistol and fired at him. Without even glancing at me, he opened the outer door and disappeared. The Janitor rushed In a moment later.” “DM your shot hit him?" asked Slm mondfl. “I.don't know; I think not; he showed no sign of being wounded.” Slmmonds stood looking at her; God frey turned to an examination of the opposite wall. "Miss Croydon’t shot went wild." he said, curiously elated at this confirma tion of her story. "Here’s the bullet," and he pointed to It, embedded In the woodwork of the bedroom door. Slmmonds took a look at it, then he returned to the Inquiry. "DM you know this intruder?" he asked. “No, sir; I’d never before seen him,” she answered steadily. "Will you describe him?” She closed her eyes, seemingly In an effort at recollection. "He was a short, heavy-set man,” •be aald, at last, "with a dark face and dark mustache which turned up at ths ends. That is all 1 can remember." "And dressed how?” "In dark clothes; he wore a slouch hat, I think, drawn down over th* eyes. I didn’t see the face clearly.” The answer came without hesitation, but it seemed to Godfrey that there was In the voice an accent of forced sincerity. "What did he do with the bar of Iron?" asked Slmmonds. "As soon as he struck the blow, ] think he—he threw it down. I re member hearing It fall-’’ "Yes—here It is,” said Godfrey tri umphantly, and fished it out from un der a chair which stood near the walk “But see, Slmmonds—It's not a bar, It’S a pipe.” Slmmonds examined It. It was an ordinary piece of Iron piping, about fifteen inches In length. “Her story seems to be straight,” he said. In an undertone to Godfrey "What do you think about It?” “I think she’s perfectly Innocent of any crime," answered Godfrey, with conviction. He had his doubts as tc the absolute straightness of her story but he concluded to keep them to him self. “Well, there's nothing more to b« learned out here,” remarked Slm monds, after another glance around "Suppose we take u look at the othei loom,” and he led the way toward th« inner door. It was an ordinary bedroom of mod erate size and with a single closet, It which a few soiled clothes were hang ing. The bed had been lain upon, and evidently by a person fully dressed, foi there were marks of muddy shoes upoi the counterpane, fresh marks as ol one who had come In during the even ing’s storm. An empty whisky bottU lay on a little table near the bed. ' "I guess Thompson was a boozer,” i observed Slmmonds. "Yes,” agreed Godfrey, “his fact showed that pretty plainly.” "Well, the man we’re after ain’t Ir here; we’ll have to search the house.’ "Can’t we let Miss Croydon go home’. She won’t run away—I’ll answer fo; that. Besides, there’s nothing againsi her.’’ | Slmmonds pondered a minute. ’’Yes, I suppose so,” he said, at last “Of course, she'll have to appear a> the Inquest. Do you know her ad dress V "Yes—twenty-one East Sixty-nlntt street.” Slmmonds Jotted It down in his note book "All right,” he said. ’’You'd bette» take her down to her cab.” (Continued Next Week.) _—_ No 0<her Way Out.
