"In what part?"
"In the east wing."
"Can you tell mo when theso Intru
idons occurred, antl what the purpose
Hooined to be? Was it robbery?"
"No," I said decidedly. "As to time,
oncu on Friday night a week ago,
again tho following night, when Arn
old Armstrong was murdered, and
again last Friday night."
TI10 doctor looked Rerlous. Ilo
Beoincd to bo debating some question
In his mind, and to reach a decision.
"MIbs Innes," ho said, "I am In a
peculiar position; 1 understand your
attitude, of course; but do you think
you nro wise? Kvur since you have
liavo conio hero there have boon bos
tilo demonstrations against you and
your family. I'm not a croaker, but
take a warning. Ioavo before any
thing occurs that will causo you a life
long regret."
"I am willing to Like the responsi
bility." I said coldly.
1 think ho gave mo up then as a
poor proposition, lie asked to he
shown whore Arnold Armstrong's body
had been round, and 1 took him there.
Ilo scrutinized tho whole place care
fully, examining the stairs and tho
lock. When ho had taken a formal
tnrowoll I was confident or one thing.
Dr. Walker would do anything he
could to get mo away from Sunnyslde.

li CHAPTER XXI.
Fourteen Elm Street.
It was Monday evening when wo
found the body of poor Thomas. Mon
day night had boon uneventful; things
wero (pilot at tho house and tho po
collar circumstances of tho old mnn's
death had boon carefully kept from
tho servants. Hoslo took chargo of
Iho dining room and pantry, In tho ah
eonco of a butler, and, except for the
warning of tho Casanova doctor, every
thing breathed of peace.
Affairs at tho Traders' bank woro
progressing slowly. Tho failure had
lilt ninnll stock-holdors very hard, tho
minister of tho llttlo Methodist chapel
in Casanova among them. He had
received as a legacy from an undo a
fow shares of stock In tho Traders'
bank, and now his Joy was turned to
lilttornoss; ho bad to sacrifice every
thing ho had In tho world, and his
fooling against Paul Armstrong, dead,
au ho waB, must have been bitter in
tho extreme. Ilo was asked to of
ficiate at tho simple services when the
dead banker's body was Interred In
Casanova churchyard, hut tho good
man providentially took cold, and a
Buhstltuto was called In.
A fow days after tho services ho
railed to sue mo, a kind-faced llttlo
man, In a very bad frock-coat and
laundered Ilo. I think ho was uncer
tain as to my connection with tho
Armstrong family, and dubious wheth
er I considered Mr. Armstrong's tak
ing uway a matter for condolence or
congratulation. Ho was not long In
doubt.
I liked tho llttlo man. lie had known
Thomas well, and had promised to of
ficiate nt tho services In tho rickety
African Zlon church. Ho told mo moro
of himself than ho know, and before
J10 loft I astonished him nnd myself,
I admit by promising a now carpet
for his church. Ilo was much affected,
and I gathered that ho had yearned
ovor his ragged chapol as a mother
over a half-clothed child.
"You nro laying up tronsures, Miss
Innos," ho said brokenly, "whore
nolthor moth nor rust corrupt, nor
thieves break through and steal."
I sent him homo In tho car, with n
hunch of hothouso roses for his wife,
nnd ho was quite overwhelmed. As
for mo, I had a generous glow that
wnB chonp nt tho prlco of a church
carpet. I recclvctl Icaa gratification
and 1oh8 gratitude wlien I prcflcntcd
the new Hllver communion set to St.

Was .lank llalley an accomplice or a

What iill-poweiful reason made Louise
determine, to inairy Dr. Wulker?
The examiners were still working
on tho books of tho Traders' bank, and
It wiib probable that soveral weoks
would elapse before everything was
cleared up. Tho firm of expert ac
countants who had examined the books
some two months beforo testllled that
every bond, every piece of vnluablo
paper, was there at that time. It
had been shortly nftcr their examina
tion that tho president, who hnd been
In had henlth, had gone to California.
Mr. llalley was still 111 at the Knicker
bocker, and In this, as In other ways,
(Sertrudo's conduct puzzled me. Sho
seemed Indifferent, refused to discuss
matters pertaining to tho hank, and
never, to my knowledge, either wrote
to him or went to seo him. Gradual
ly I came to the conclusion that Ger
trude, with tho rest of the world, be
lieved her lover guilty, and although
I believed It myself, for that matter
1 was Irritated by her indifference.
Girls In my day did not meekly accept
tho publlo'B verdict as to tho man
they loved.
Hut presently something occurred
that made mo think that under Ger
trude's surface calm there was a seeth
ing flood of emotions,
Tuesday morning tho detective
made a careful search of the grounds,
hut ho found nothing. In tho aftor
noon ho disappeared, and It was Into
that night when ho camo homo. Ho
anld ho would have to go back to tho
city tho following day, and arranged
with Halsey and Alex to guard tho
house.
Llddy camo to mo on Wednesday
morning with her black silk npron
held up like a hag and her eyes big
with virtuous wrath. It was tho day
of Thomafl' funeral In the village, and
Alex and I were In the conservatory
cutting flowers for the old man's cas
ket. Llddy la never so happy as when
sho Is making herself wretched, and
now her mouth drooped while her eyes
were trlumphnnt.
"I always said there wore plenty of
things going on hero, right under our
uoaes, that we couldn't sue," she said,
holding out her apron.
"1 don't see with my nose," I re
marked. "What have you got there?"
I.lddy pushed aside a half dozen
geranium pots, and In the space thus
cleared she dumped the contents of
her apron a handful of tiny hits of
paper. Alex had stopped hack, hut I
saw him watching her curiously.
"Walt a moment, 1-Iddy," 1 said.
"You have heen going through the
library papcr-hasket again!"
hlddy was arranging her bit.- of pa
per witli the skill of long practice and
paid no attention.
"Did It ever occur to you," I went
on, putting my hand over the scraps,
"that when pooplo tear up their cor
respondence it is for tho express pur
pose of keeping it frotn hoing read?"
"if they wasn't ashnmed of it they
wouldn't take so much trouble, Miss
Uaehel," I.lddy said oracularly. "More
than that, with things happening every
day, I consider It my duty. If you
don't read and net on this, I shall give
It to that Jnmleson, and I'll venture
he'll not go back to the city today."
That decided me. If the scraps had
tiny thing to do with the mystery ot
dlnnry conventions had no value. So
Llddy arranged the scraps, like work
ing out one of the puzzle-pictures chil
dren play with, and she did It with
much tho same eagerness. When It
was finished she stepped aside while
I read It.
"Wednesday night, nine o'clock.
Whole Place Carefully.
Hridgo," I read aloud. Then, aware
of Alex's stare, I turned on Llddy.
"Some ono Is to play bridge to
night nt nine o'clock," I said. "Is that
your business, or mine?"
Llddy was aggrieved. She was
about to reply when l scooped up tho
pieces and left the conservatory.
"Now then," I said, when wo got
outside, "will you tell me why you
choose to take Alex into your con
fidence? He's no fool. Do you sup
pose ho thinks any one In this house
Is going to play bridge to-night at
nine o'clock, by appointment! 1 sup
pose you have shown It In tho kitchen,
and Instead of my being able to slip
down to tho bridge tonight quietly,
and seo who is there, the whole house
hold will bo going In a procession."
"Nobody knows It," Llddy said hum
bly. "I found it in tho basket in Miss
Gertrudo's dressing room. Look at tho
back of tho sheet." I turned ovor some
of tho scraps, and, sure enough, It
wns a blank deposit slip from tho
Traders' bank. So Gertrudo wns going
to moot Jack llalley that night by the
bridge! And I had thought ho wn
ill! It hurdly seemed like the action
of an Innocent man this avoidance of
daylight, and of his fiancee's people.
I decided to make certain, however,
by going to tho hridgo that night.
After luncheon Mr. Jnmleson sug
gested that I go with him to IUchfteld,
and I consented.
"I am Inclined to placo moro faith
In Dr. Stewart's story," ho said, "sinco
l found that scrap In old Thomas'
pocket. It bears out tho statement
that the woman with tho child, and
tho woman who quarreled with Arm
strong, nro the samo. It looks as If
Thomas had stumbled on to some af
fair which was moro or loss discred
itable to the doad man, and, with a
certain loyalty to tho family, had kept
it to himself. Then, you soe, your
story about tho womun at tho card
room window begins to mean some
thing. It Is the nearest approach to
anything tangible that we have had
yet."
Warner took us to Ulchflold In tho
car it was ahout Uo miles by rail
road, but by taking a series or atro
ciously rough short cuts wo got there
wry quickly. It was a pretty little
town, on tho river, and buck on tho
hill I could see the Morton big coun
try house, where Halsey and Ger
trudo had heen staying until the night
of the murder.
Kim street was almost tho only
street, and number 11 wns easily
found. It was a small white house,
dilapidated without having gained
anything picturesque, with a low win
dow and a porch only a foot or so
above the hit of a lawn. There was a
baby-carriage In the path, and from
a swing at tho side came tho sound of
conflict. Three small children were
disputing vociferously, and a faded
young woman with a kindly face was
trying to hush tho clamor. When sho
saw tu she untied her gingham apron
and camo around to the porch.
"Good afternoon," I said. Jnmleson
lifted Ills hat, without speaking. "I
came to inquire about a child named
Lucien Wallace."
'i am glad you have come," she
said. "In aplto of the other children,
I think tho little follow is lonely. We
thought perhaps his mother would be
here today."
Mr. Jnmleson stepped forward.
"You are Mrs. Tate?" I wondered
how the detective knew.
"Yes, sir."
"Mrs. Tate, wo want to make some
inquiries. Perhaps in the house"
'Come right in," she said hospitably.
And soon we were In tho llttlo shabby
parlor, exactly like a thousand of Its
I prototypes. Mrs. Tate sat uneasily, her
hands folded In her lap.
"How long has Lucien been here?"
Mr. Jamleson asked.
"Since a week ago last Friday. His
mother paid one week's hoard In ad
vance, the other has not been paid,"
"Was ho 111 when he enme?"
"No, sir, not what you'd call sick.
Ho was getting bettor of typhoid, she
said, and he's picking up fine."
"Will you tell me his mother's name
and address?"
"That's the trouble," the young
woman said, knitting her brows. "She
gave her name as Mrs. Wallace, and
said sho had no address. She was
looking for a boarding house in town.
She said she worked In a department
store, and couldn't take care of the
child properly, and lie needed fresh
air and milk. I had three children of
my own, and ono more didn't make
much difference in the work, but I
wish she would pay this week's
board "
'Did she say what store It was?"
"No, sir, but all the boy's clothes
came from King's. He hos far too flno
clothes tor the country."
There was a chorus of shouts and
shrill yells from the front door, fol
lowed by the loud stamping of chil
dren's feet and a throaty "whoa,
whoa!" Into the room camo a tan
dem team of two chubby youngsters, a
boy and a girl, harnessed with a
clothesline, and driven by a laughing
boy of about seven. In tan overalls
and brass buttons. Tho small driver
caught my attention at once; ho was
a beautiful child, and, although ho
showed traces of recent severe Hlness,
his skin had now the clear transpar
ency of health.
"Whoa, Flinders," he shouted.
"You're going to smash the trap."
Mr. Jamleson coaxed him over by
holding out a lead pencil, striped blue
and yellow.
"Now, then," he said, when tho boy
had taken tho lead pencil and was
testing its usefulness on the detect-
I Could See the Mortons' Pig Country
House.
Ivo's cuff, "now thon, I'll bat you don't
know what your name Is!"
"I do," said tho hoy. "Lucien Wal
lace." "Great! And what's your mother's
namo?"
"Mother, of courso. What's your
mother's namo?"
And ho pointed to mo! I am going
to stop wearing black; It doubles a
woman's ago.
"And whoro did you live beforo you
came hero?" Tho detective waa polite
enough not to smllo.

Sugnestlon and Practical Thought.
The Triumphal Entry of tho KIiir
Into tho Capital of tho Nation. Vs
Ml. "And when thoy drew nigh unto
Jerusalem." This phrase includes tho
Journey Lorn Jericho to Uethnny (John
12: 1), where ho arrived Friday eve'
nlng; tho supper on Saturday evening
at tho closo of their Sabbath; and tho
leaving Ilothany on their way to Jeru
salem Sunday morning, the day aftor
tliolr Sabbath. "And wore come tc
Hethphago." (houso of figs, or fig
town), a village not far from Ilothany
(house of dates), toward Jerusalem
on tho northern road over "tho mount
of Olives," which wns tho "Park" ol
Jerusalem, tho gardens nnd pleasure
grounds for tho city.
"Tell yo tho dnughter of Sion." one
hill of Jcrusnlem, representing the
city. "Uchold, thy King cometh."
Jesus was the Messiah, the true king
of tho kingdom of God, which was
now about to bo established .
"And a very great multitude."
Rather, "tho most part of tho multi
tude," for there wero somo cold and
scowling critics (Luko 19: 39, 40).
Thero wero crowds of pilgrims from
all pnrts of tho country coming up to
tho Pnssovor festival. Dy a census
taken In tho time of Nero, It was as
certained that thero wero 2,700,000
Jews present at the Passover. "Spread
their garments In tho way." "This
was a recognized act of homage to a
king.
"Othors cut down branches." Tho
Imperfect tense denotes continued ac
tion. "As Jesus advanced, they kept
cutting branches and sprendlng them,
and the multitude kept crying."
"Cried, saying, Hosanna." "Hosan
na" is a rendering Into Greek letters
of tho Hebrew words, "Save, we
pray!"
"To tho son of David, tho natural
heir to tho throne, the Inheritor of tho
promises to Dnvld (2 Sam. 7: 12-10.
1 Chron. 17: 10-14). "Cometh In tho
nnme of tho Lord." Sent by God, In
dorsed by God as his representative.
"Hosanna In tho highest." In tho
highest degree;. In the highest strains;
In the highest heavens.
A Noto of Sadness. One touching
Incident, by the way, Is rolatcd by
Luko only (19: 41-44). At ono point
In tho descent, when tho procession
was amid wheat fields, flowers, and
olive-trees, at a turn of the road, tho
great city of Jerusalem suddenly
burst upon their vision.
Horo Josus wopt over the city which
wns soon to reject their king, the only
Saviour who could prevent Its destruc
tion, and tho fall of tho nation.
Jesus went Into tho temple, his
father's houso, nnd went about his
father's business. Ho found thu
courts of tho temple turned Into n
market place for tho salo of anlmnls
for sacrifice, and for tho exchango of
money.
With this excuso traders made tho
houso of prayer a placo of business
and a den of thieves; for thoso who
for gain will defraud rollglon of Its
worship aro likely to defraud man of
his dues.
For tho dealers, the spirit of wor
ship was lost. Instead of praying,
they were bargaining. Instead ot
worshipping, thoy wero making money.
Dlshonosty In connection with ro
llglon docs much moro harm than else
where It creates unbelievers. It un
dermines the power of rollglon. It
turns men away from tho truth.
Tho court of tho Gentiles was tho
placo of prayor and worship for Gen
tiles. It wns tho only plnco whero thoy
could worship In tho templo. It was
missionary ground. It wbb tho place
for reaching tho mnssos. AH this was
dostroyed by tho nolso and confusion,
and distractions of tho market placo.
Worship was out of tho quostion;
prayer was Interrupted. And tho very
object of tho templo was sacrificed to
tho greed of gain.
Kingly Work for nnd Through the
Chtldron, vs. 15-17. Tho chlldron, boys,
. . . "saying, Hosanna to tho son
or David." They caught tho enthusi
asm from tholr elders, nnd entered
with groat zost Into tho praises of tho
Messiah." Thoy, "tho chler priests,"
"wero soro displeased." Perhaps thoy
dreadod lest tho Roman garrison In
tho adjoining castlo of Antonln should
hoar them and fear lost tho praises of
tho Son of David ns king should bo
regarded as treason against Rome.
Hence they asked Jesus to put a
stop to theso loud praises (Luko 19:
39, 40). His reply was that tho very
stones would cry out If theso hold
tholr peace.
The church should UK tho best
caro that tho chlldron should Join In
tho sorvlces of pralso. Thoy should
arrango tholr sorvlces, and build tholr
edifices, so that tho children can thus
have part. Thoy should encourage
children's meetings whoro tho young
aro trained In tho work they will ,bo
callod to do for tho church of God.
Tho older peoplo will find that thus
pralso Is porfectod. Tho Gospol
proached In so direct and slmplo a
manner, that children can bo uplifted
by thoy, will most help tho Iargost
number of people.

Tubercuioois In the Prisons.
The fact that 100,000 prisoners aro
discharged from tho jails and prisons
of thn country annually, and that from
10 to 15 per cent, of them have tuber
culosis, makes tho problem of provid

DYSPEPSIA
"HavinR taken your wonderful 'Casca
rets' for three months nnd being entirely
cured of stomach catarrh and dysjepsia,
I think a word o! praise b due to
Cascarets' for their wonderful composi
tion. I have taken numerous other so
called remedies but without avail, and I
find that Cascarets relieve more in a day
than all the others I have taken would in
a year." James McGune,
