A VITAL CLEW. “My life hangs on that scrap of paper! If it cannot be found, Edith, it is imfxjs sible to prove my innocence. The facts are dead against me.” “Gilbert, I am so confident that ybu are innocent and all that yon have said is true that I will not rest until the pa per is found.” He took her in his arms and impressed a passionate kiss on her brow. Gilbert Stanton was under arrest on suspicion of having caused the death of Raymond Wild. The facts of the case were, as he said, “dead against him.” Stanton lived in chambers in White’s inn and was reading for the bar. Wild, who justified his name, was an old col lege acquaintance, who had attempted several things in life and failed in all. Gilbert had not seen him for several years, when Wild suddenly turned up at his chambers and announced that he was “stone broke.” The man had no claim whatever on Gilbert Stanton, who told him so and also gave him the benefit of some candid opinions as to his past career. Raymond Wild was hot blooded, and high words resulted. The quarrel was at its height when Mrs. Morton, Gilbert’s old laun dress, who had been completing her morning duties in another room, closed the door of the chambers and passed out. Shortly afterward the tempers of the two men cooled. Wild apologized for some offensive remarks he had made, and they shook hands. Gilbert now prom ised to do his best to help his old ac quaintance and invited Wild to remain for an hour while he went out to keep an appointment. w lien uuoert atanton returned, ne mounted the stairs to the door of his chambers, but did not immediately enter. He stood for a few minutes on the land ing, considering what course he should adopt with regard to the man inside. Should he give him money? Or might not that be doing such a person a posi tive injury? As he leaned against the door smoking a cigarette he was startled by a loud ex plosion inside. What could it be? He hastily unlocked the door and went in. The place was full of gunpowder smoke, and he rushed into the sitting room. It was empty. There was a door communi cating with his bedroom, and he opened it. A horrible sight was before him Stretched upon the floor was Raymond Wild—dead! Stanton immediately found that a bullet had passed through the man’s brain, and that his own revolver, which he always kept loaded in the room, was lying on the floor beside the body. The evidence at the inquest was simply this: The police, when called in, had found the dead body of a man, identified as Raymond Wild, with a bullet wound in his head. A revolver was also dis covered, which Gilbert Stanton had ad mitted was his, and the contents of one chamber had been discharged. Mr Stanton had said: “The man committed suicide. I was not inside the chambers at the time.” William Carey, a solicitor's clerk, de posed that he was looking out of the office window on the ground floor, when he saw Mr. Gilbert Stanton enter tne building and heard him run up the stairs. About five minutes afterward— certainly when ample time had elapsed for Mr. Stanton to enter his chambers— he heard the explosion. The result was that Gilbert was ar rested, brought up before the magistrate and committed for trial. His defense was that Wild had found the revolver during his absence; that he was standing outside the door of his chambers, as we have described, when the shot was fired; that although they had quarreled they were on pacific term when he went out, and that the deceased had left a written confession of his own guilt and Gilbert’s innocence. But where was this written confes sion? Gilbert Stanton declared that he found it on the bedroom mantelpiece, but during the excitement of the hour had mysteriously lost or mislaid it. He had searched everywhere for it, but with out avail. tie distinctly remembered that, after examining the body and finding it was lifeless, he went into his sitting room with the confession in his hand to con sider what he should -do. He placed the paper on a small table in front of him, and glancing out of the window saw a policeman in the quadrangle. He at once decided to call the constable and ran down stairs to do so, leaving his door ajar. On his return the paper had disap peared, and he had never seen it after ward. The most diligent search had failed to discover it. “Now, Mrs. Morton,” said Edith as they stood alone in the chambers, “this is a matter of life and death. That piece of paper must be found.” “Yes, miss,” was the laundress’ com monplace reply. “First of all, you must please answer very carefully some questions I shall put to you. Did you on that day destroy any paper?” “No, miss.” “Have you destroyed or removed any since?” “Not a scrap, miss. You see there ain’t no fires this time o’ the year, and the little cooking I does is all done on the gas stove.” “What do you do with your waste paper and rubbish?” “What little there is I takes down in a pail once a week, or more often if I finds it necessary.” “And has the pail been down since that day?” “No, miss.” “Then the paper must be here some where, unless it was deliberately stolen, which I cannot believe. We will begin our search, and take the sitting room first.” Everything was being turned upside down and inside qut, when Edith sud denly stopped. “Do you remember whether the win* dows were open on that day?” she asked. “Yes, miss; Mr. Stanton always used to ’ave ’is winders open.” “Well, just open them as they would be If he were here.” 'the woman did as she was bid. Edith then placed a piece of paper on the table where Gilbert said he had laid the con fession, the door leading into the bed room and the entrance door having first been opened. There was a considerable draft, and the paper trembled on the ta ble. “Perhaps there was more air on that day,” said Edith. “I will substitute a lighter piece of paper.” This she did and almost immediately it was caught by a current, and it floated across the room. As it fell on the floor they were both startled to see a little kitten spring from the open doorway and pounce upon the paper, rolling over and over with it in her teeth. “That explains it all!” exclaimed Edith, catching up the little animal in her arms. “Oh, Kitty! Oh, Kitty? How little you know the terrible mischief you have done!” Her eyes were full of tears, and she was pale and trembling with apprehen sion. The kitten must have carried off the confession in this way to play with, and its recovery was hopeless. “Lor, miss,” suddenly broke in Mrs. Morton, “now I remember! When the gent shot ’isself, 4 was working in the ’ouse opposite, and came back to see what was the matter. That little kitten belongs to the party in the next set, and when 1 come up to the landing she was a-playing just like that with a bit o’ pa per, which she runs away with and leaves on the stairs.” “Yes,” said Edith, in breathless eager ness. “Well, paper about the stairs looks so untidy, miss, so I picked it up and” “What did you do with it?” “I threw it in the pail with the other rubbish.” 1 or the second time the contents of the pail were emptied by the laundress and carefully examined. It was absolutely certain that the paper was not there. “Are you positive that you put the pa per in the pail?” asked Edith. “I’d take my ’davy on it, miss. And it was just such a scrap of writing as you say.” Edith sent the laundress home, shut herself in the solitary chambers and be gan the hunt afresh. It was late in the evening when she ceased her fruitless search. Next morning she returned to her hopeless task. Mrs. Morton she had re lieved from further attendance, and was walking up and down the chambers in thought when there came a knock at the door. It was the laundress herself. “I know where that bit o’ paper is, miss! I remembers that, when the police was here that morning, I steps into the bedroom to hear what they has to say One of ’em says to me, impudentlike, ‘Well, what do you want, old lady?’ and I says I wanted the bedroom candle stick.” “Yes,” interrupted Edith, “but where is the paper?” “I’m just coming to that, miss. I stays a bit in the kitchen—just to see if I might be any use, you understands—and while I was waiting, I puts a new candle in the candlestick. Them ‘nines’ is rather small for the candlestick, to I takes a bit o’ paper out o’ the pail to make it fit. Come into the bedroom, miss—why, it’s gone!” “Good heavens!” cried Edith. "Do you mean to say that the paper round that candle was the missing document?” “That’s my belief, miss. Where is it gone?” “1 was here late last night, and 1 burned the candle very low—and the paper took fire!” “And you burned it, miss!” “Only slightly, I remember. I blew it out, threw the paper away, and put in a new candle that I removed from the piano. What did I do with the paper? Oh, I remember, I threw it under the grate. You’ll find it there. Thank heaven, we have found it at last! Gil bert is saved!” "mere is nothing here, miss,” said the woman on her knees. “The grate is quite empty!” It was true, and the shock was a ter rible one to Edith. She fainted in the old laundress’ arms. Mrs. Morton, how ever, soon restored her to consciousness. “You can take my word for it,” she said, “that paper’s bewitched.” “I don’t care whether it is bewitched or not,” said Edith. “I mean to find it. Fetch me that magnifying glass from the table in the next room.” Edith removed the fender and care fully examined the dust that Mrs. Mor ton’s not overscrupulous cleanliness had allowed to accumulate. “I thought as much,” she said. “Mice! They have been attracted by the candle grease and have dragged the paper to their hole. Every moment now is valu able, or it will be all destroyed.” They searched roundabout everywhere, but no mouse hole could be found. Edith then directed the woman to mix a quanti ty of whiting which she placed in a large flat dish on the floor in the middle of the room. In the dish was laid a small saucer, and in that a piece of toasted cheese. They then left the chamber for several hours. When they returned, there was a track of little white footprints across the room that led to a little hole above the narrow skirting board, hidden by a loose piece of the wall paper. A man was called in, and after breaking down some of the plaster and taking up a corner of the flooring the coveted scrap of papeT was at last secured. The confession was of course in part destroyed and required very delicate handling, but when the precious relic had been carefully mounted on another piece of paper it was found to read as follows, the words in brackets being supplied by supposition: [I am] sick of my life and (resolved] to put an !nd [to It]. In case suspicion falls on Gi]lbert Stanton, [he is] innocent. I die [by my] own band. Raymond WiUd]. Gilbert and Edith are now married, md Stanton insists that he owes his life to the persistent and intelligent manner in which his wife followed up that vital ipd mysterious clew.—London Tit-Bits. WOMAN’S WORLD. WHERE THE SKIRT AND THE BLOUSE FALL AT OUTS. The Superiority of Women—A Timely Sug gestion to Parents—Interesting Informa tion, Personal and Otherwise—Hints For Homemakers. A few years ago when the “bang” was universal two pretty gitls who became intimate always sealed the bond of true confidence by telling each other how they “did” their front hair. Today, un der the reign of the shirt waist and gir dle, the burning question is, “How do you keep your belt down?” The seem ingly simple costume of blouse, skirt and belt is really as difficult to realize in perfection as most seemingly simple things. The hour that fashion decreed that the “tails” of the blouse were to disappear inside the dress skirt and a black ribbon belt was to clasp the join ing between shirt and skirt woman’s lot received another cross. Watch the trim scores of girls who trip along the streets of the great shopping district; admire them as they advance toward you hatted, gloved and shod as only the daughters of New York are; de light in the well nourished, rounded, womanly figures in the simple silk or linen shirt waist, the well hung dark skirt and the broad black belt; then ven ture to turn your head and gaze after any one of these divinities as she glides past and away from you. There is a fa tal hiatus between the gathers of the back breadths of that well hung skirt and the broad black ribbon belt made moiselle has passed round her dainty waist. The skirt and the belt it is sewed to have slipped from under the outer separate ribbon belt, and the wearer knows it and is far more unhappy about it than you can possibly be. just as tne gins tuougnr tne Diazer had solved their difficulties and drawn a veil over that miserable divorce between belt and skirt, which is the bane of their existence, along came fashion again and cut off the tails of the blazer almost to the shoulder blades and sternly ordained the Eton jacket. Belts that join behind and unfurl funny little bunches of ruf fles over the offending gap or a silk bow with ends are applied to the small of the back—anything rather than admit that women are not built for the blouse, the skirt and the belt as at present con structed and combined. There is some thing really sad in the bald treachery of the most desperate expedients, as when a natty girl in an immaculate duck suit seats herself at a restaurant table for lunch. The weight of her body drags her skirts, the separate belt remains stol idly unmoved, and a large brass safety pin, falsely so called, is disclosed, with which she has hoped to secure all her petticoats, as it were, to her,very verte brae. The fact is the so called waist line is as imaginary as the equator. The nat ural girdle line is as displayed by Sarah Bernhardt—that is, passing across the hollow of the back, over the hips and under the abdomen. To say that our fair and lovely New York ladies shall so gird themselves when they take their walks abroad is to leave anatomical for sumptuary law, but the fashion of the shirt, the skirt and the belt is a theory, and the lamentable disunion among them is a condition which stares us in the back.—New York Sun. The Superiority of Women. How long can it reasonably be expect ed that the old custom will last in d " r ence to which wives are content to be known by the surnames of their hus bands? All the recent tests tend to show the superiority of the female , mind to that of the male. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, in a recent address, supported the cause of coeducation with the argu ment that “nothing in the world will take the foolishness and romantic no tions out of a girl so quick as to work with young men and find out how little they know.” Of course marriage has the same effect, but after a girl is mar ried it is too late for her to save her maiden name. If she arrives before marriage at the sophisticated stage that Mrs. Palmer describes, she may very reasonably demur to giving up a name which she feels competent to distinguish for one which will be handicapped by her husband’s relative inferiority. All along the line this summer women have triumphed. In the recent assign ment of general fellowship by the Chi cago university young women got so dis proportionate a share of the spoils as to scandalize the authorities. When the London Geographical society declined in the spring to admit women to its mem bership, the society’s action was received not at all as evidence of the inferiority of women, but purely as a new proof of the limitations of men. Ten women passed the Cambridge mathematical tripos this year, and two of them came out wran glers. Three women took honors at Ox ford, at which university also honor ex aminations were this year opened to women in three new courses. At Lon don university Miss Ogilvie, a prodigy of erudition from Aberdeen, passed with the highest credit the examination for the degree of doctor of science. At this rate how long will women be content with the substance and abstain from grasping the shadow also? How long will Miss Jones consent to become Mrs. Smith? How soon -will she demand a competitive examination between Smith and herself to determine before marriage which is the compelling entity and whether it is more meet that she shall become a Smith or that Smith and the children shall become Joneses?— Harper’s Weekly. A Timely Suggestion to Parents. In our country the bright young men i,nd women in even remote towns and villages may be called sooner or later )o take place among the representatives of courts and social conditions of a most exalted and punctilious formality. Why should any one who can by a wisely di rected effort enjoy such advantages at some be left to learn elegance, ease and social polish through embarrassment and failure? It is both cruel and repre I hensible. Make it impossible, parents, for any one to point to American youth as sadly deficient in the ease and gra ciousness which come from social inter course by giving your sons and daugh ters the opportunity for social culture whenever and wherever it is possible. Small villages have their duties no less j than large cities. If you have a comfortable home, my dear friend, and have never given a party, try it this coming winter. Invite your neighbors; decorate yonr house with the best you can afford. If possible, have a guest or two from out of town to add ! zest and flavor. Let it be society—not a rustic powwow, but an attempt at cul tivated and elevating association, where every one shall be alert and well man nered. Do not feel that anything less than the best in manners, deportment and gra cious charm will answer from you as a hostess, and you will find even the most indifferent among your guests striving to | emulate you.—Jenness Miller Monthly. The Summer Flower Girl. I scorn the charge that the summer girl has any foibles, at least any that are ! not enhancing. The flower girl is par i ticularly charming to look upon. I mean the girl who gets herself up in the tints ; of a certain flower and carries out the j pretty conceit by wearing the natural blossom that she represents or some nat ural looking artificial flowers. For ex j ample, this morning I saw such a pi quant and pretty creature dressed a la brilliant poppy! The dress foundation was of some creamy stuff that made an agreeably cool and summery looking background, and then there were some stem green ribbons here and there, and a loose cluster of great, fluffy, nodding pop pies on the wide brimmed hat, and—well, you can imagine how decorative the ef fect was. It was not two minutes be fore I saw a buttercup girl with petal sleeves of buttercup yellow shimmering silk falling below a bolero bodice that together with the dress bore out the gen eral color scheme. The mignonette girl is especially attractive to my mind in these warm days. She looks so deli ciously comfortable, and so does the lily white dotted swiss muslin girl. Really, with all the opprobrium that fashion gets, she deserves a deal of credit for many of her edicts.—Boston Globe. A Plucky Young Girl. A year ago last spring a German named Cranefeldt, living a mile north of New Doyle, Ills., died, leaving a small farm to his widow and children. His two hoys were too small to he of any use in carrying on the farm, but his daugh ter Annie, who was about 18 years old, took up the burden, and well has she car ried it. Last fall she plowed, harrowed, rolled and planted 13} acres of wheat all by herself. In the spring she put in 13} acres of oats, which have just been thrashed and yielded about 30 bushels to the acre. She has also plowed the ground and planted 30 acres of corn, which she has cultivated well and just “laid by,” and she has as good an outlook for a good crop of corn as most of the fanners around here. She takes all the care of four horses—two work horses and two young ones—and does all the work on the place. She is not very large, but has lots of determination and push. Most girls left as she was would have set down with “I can’t,” while Annie started out with “I will make a living for the fami ly,” and she has done it.—St. Louis Re public. How to Look Cool Suddenly. If you come in after a long round of shi pping and receive a sudden summons to tno parlor to meet some unexpected guest, do not be dismayed at the crimson face which meets your eye as you stand before your dressing table mirror. Like wise do not seek a remedy in the bath room. Many women think the only way to cool off is to bathe the facel.ivis.ily in cold water. This is a great mi ...ike and with a thin skin will only intensify the color, and the last estate of this woman shall he worse than the first. Dash the water on throat and neck as freely as you choose, particularly at the back of the neck, but if the face is bathed at all let it be done sparingly; then sponge with Florida water and lastly apply a generous coatyig of rice powder. You will look ghastly, but let the pow der remain while you add the few neces sary touches to your toilet. Then, just as you are to descend to the parlor, dust off all superfluous powder lightly, and you will welcome your guest fresh and cool, not only in appearance, but in reality.—Exchange. To Honor Miss Emma Willard. A new association is about to be or ganized to honor Emma Willard in a practical manner. This association we shall call the Emma Willard Education al society. It will take an active inter est in all that pertains to education, and particularly in the interests of women in educational matters—for instance, the opening of all the great universities to women, the equal division of all school offices, the equal pay of same, the form ing of loyal leagues among the school children as affiliations of the society. These leagues will have for their object the teaching from childhood the right of each human being to wield his own weap on of defense, whether it be the bow and arrow of early and barbarous men or the ballot of civilization, and that under our government it is the duty of every citi zen to vote and thereby secure good gov ernment.—Mary A. Bennett in Boston Woman's Journal. Miss Helen Gould's Debut Into Society.
