And the dagger he had found in the ise waa one ho had taken from Lena Saisehineon the afternoon of the day she had called,to see Calliston about the elopement. T If tell yon about that daeaer." ex plained Myles to Norwood, his solicitor. I was at Calliston's rooms on the Mon day afternoon looking over his papers, when Lena Sanehhw earns in like 0 madwoman to see Calliston. I tried to auiet her. but she refused to be pacified, and palling out the dagger said she would kill Calliston first and Lady Balscombe afterward. I tried to take it from her and she flung it away neither of us knew it was poisoned, or iaon tuunJt we wonta hare bean so reckless oyer it. In falling the dagger, rested slantwise from the floor to the fender, and in springing to get it I rut my foot on it and broke the handle off. In ease she should get it again, I put the pieces in my pocket and took them home I left them on a side table, so if they were found in the ornaments some one must have placed them there and Lena SarsehiM went away" on that day. then. I hare seen notluno of her" Then who was the lady you saw on that night?" asked his solicitor. 1 Cannot teli you," replied too young an. dosoedlT. "I save my word to the lady 1 would not say she had been there till I had permission, and. till I get it I cannot. . 'When, will you get it?" "When OaOiston returns in his yacht."

On arriTing at his office he found a lady waiting to see him, and on glancing carelessly at the card handed to him By his clerk, started violently. "Miss Penfold," he slid. "By Jovel she was engaged to Lord CaUUion. Now, I wonder what she wants? The young lady made her 'appearance. and, the door being closed, soon enlightenea nun on last point. "Ton are Mr. Desmond's lawyer?" she "Tea, X hare that honor," replied Norwood, rather' puzzled to know what she had oome about. 11 take a great interest in Mr. Desmond," said the girl, hesitating, "in fact, I'm engaged to him. jjut i tnougnt ljora uaunton - "Lord Calliston ia nothing to me," she broke in, impatiently.

"Forlorn hopes generally succeed," replied Hay, with a confident smile. "So you go to bis lodgings, and then let me known the result of yonr inquiries." Norwood agreed to this, and after Miss Penfold had departed, called a oab and drove to the address of Myles Desmond. Bondalina, more wan and ghost-like than ever, opened the door and informed the lawyer that Mrs. Mulgy had gone out. "That's a pity," said Norwood, in a disappointed tone, "Are you the servant? "Yes, sir," replied Bondalina, dropping a oourtesy. "And you attend to all the lodgers?" "Tea sin" "Oh! then perhaps you can toil hie What I Want to know," said Norwood; Cheerfully. "Take" mo up to Mr. Desmond's room." Eoudallna, being a London, girl, was Very sharp, and looked keenly at Mr. Norwood to see if he had any design of burglary. The scrutiny proviug . satisfactory, she led him upstairs, and showed him Desmond's sitting-room. "Now, then," said Norwood, taking a seat, "I want you to answer me a few questions." Bondalina looked frightened, and said, "Yes, sir," in a mechanical manner. "First." asked Norwood, "do you dut

this room and put things straight?" "Mo, sir." "Do you remember seeing a broken dagger about the place a blade and a handle?" Bondalina twisted her apron up into a knot and thought hard, and then intimated she had seen it. "Ohl and when did you sou it? "About a week or so ago, sir," replied Bondalina. "Mr. Desmond, sir, he comes in at 5 o'clock when I was a-layin' of the oloth for dinner, and ses he, 'I ain't agoin' to stay in for dinner, 'oauBO J'm agoin' bout,' then he takes the knife from his pocket, being broken in two, and throws the bits on the toble and goes out to put his clothes On. I takes the dinner things downstairs, and when I comes up he were gone, so I sets to work an' tidies up the room. "Was the dagger still on the table?" "The knife, sir," corrected ItondaU-ka. "Yes, sir, it were, and I puts the bits in the h'omaments so as to keep 'em out of the way of the children., an' I 'ope ic weren't wrong, sir." "No, not at all," replied Norwood, "but tell ma, did Mr. Desmond oome back on that night?" " Yos, sir but not 4iU late, sir 3 o'olook in the morning. He 'adn't his latch-key, so I 'ad to git h'up and let him in." ' "Was he sober?" "Quite, sir, only he seemed upset like, and goes up to his room without saying a word. This was all the information obtain able from Bondalina, so Norwood departed from the house very much satisaed with what he had discovered. He drove straight to Park lane and told May aed with what he had discorered, renxoia au uonaaima nao saia. "You see," he said, in conclusion, "this evidenoe will prove one thing, that Desmond could not have committed the crime with that dagger." "Then I suppose they'll say he did it with another, said May, bitterly. "If they do so they will damage their own ease, "replied Norwood, coolly, "for Dowkcr swears the crime was committed by this special dagger, and if Desmond did not use it as can be proved by the evidence of the servant no one else could have done so; by the way, you say Sir Bupert was down at Berkshire on that night. "He was," replied May, "but he came up by a late train and then went to bis club shortly before twelve. " "Is he in?" asked the lawyer. "No; but you will be able to see bim about 5 o'clock," said Miss Penfold. "He has been shut up in his library since the elopment of his wife, but had to go out to-day on business," "I'll call then." "What do you want to see him about?" "I am anxious to ascertain if he knew of his wife's movements on that night, and whether she left the house." "I don't think he can tell you that, as his wife and he were on bad terms, and occupied different rooms. Besides, even if you find out that Lady Balseombe visited Lord Calliston's chambers on that night, it won't save Myles," I don't know so much about that," replied Norwood, cheerfully. "It will help to unravel this mystery, and when everything is made plain I'm certain Myles Desmond won't Be the man to suffer for L this crime.' CHATTER XIII, UV U.DS'8 HUSBAND. Many people thought Calliston's visits were to his Ward, but in reality she was merely used as - a stalking-horse to conceal the designs of the young man on Lady Balscombe. When the blow came and the lady eloped, no one was surprised .pxoept the unsuspecting husband, who. saving raised ms wife from an obscure position to a brilliant one, and given her all she could wish for, never dreamt for a moment she would reward him in so base a manner. Sir Bupert, however, hed.no idea of playing the complacent husband in this ease, and at once piooeeded to take steps for a divorce. The difficulty was to serve the guilty pnjr with citations, for as 'the yaeht had gone to the Azores there was no chance of doing so until she returnea to England, or until she touched at some civilized port easy to be reached by the long arm of the law. The baronet sat iu his library reading a letter from his lawyers, which informed him that Calliston's yacht, the Beamew, had put into port for repairs, as she had been disabled in a storm, and that they had sent over a clerk to serve the citation at once. Just then Miss Penfold entered, followed by Norwood, at the sight of whom Sir Bupert seemed surprised, but said nothing. "This gentleman wishes to speak with you, Sir Bupurt," said May, advancing toward the baronet. "He is " "A lawyer, I know," replied Sir Bupert, coldly pushing a chair toward his ward, "I've seen him in court and what is the object of your visit, sir? "he said, turning to Norwood. "I've called to see you about this arrest of Myles Desmond for the murder of Lena Sarschine," says Norwood, placing his hat on the table. "I know nothing about him," replied the baronet, looking angrily at May. "Why do you co'mo to mo for informaHon?. "Because we want to save Mr, Des-, niond's life," said May, boldly. "His life a murderer?" "He is no murderer," said the young firL quickly. "Appearances are against im, but he is innooent." "I believe you love this fellow still," said Balseombe, contemptuously. "So much that I'm going to marry him," she replied. "And what's all this got to do with me," asked Balscombe, haughtily. "Simply this, that I bare reason to believe Lady Balscombe had something to do with the case." "Lady Balsoombel". echoed Sir Bupert, turning pale with fury. "Take care, sir, take care. My affairs have nothing to do with you, and Lady Balscombe's folly is quite apart from this this murder." "I think not," answered Norwood, quietly, "for in my opinion Lady Balscombe left this house and went to Lord Calliston's chambers on the night of the murder and saw Mr. Desmond. "Did Mr. Desmond tell you this?" said Balscombe, in a nervous voice. "No; Mr. Desmond refuses to tell anything," rejoined Norwood, "but I am cer tain it was Lady Balscombe, ana as you came uo from Berkshire on that night I thought you might tell me at what hour Lady Balscombe went out."' "I am no spy on my wife's movements," retorted the baronet, haughtily. "I came up from Berkshire, it is true, and undeiBtood from my servants that my wife was in her room. As we were not on good terms I did not see her, but went straight to my olub. From, there I did not return till about 8 in the morning. I then went to bed and did not know of Lady Balscombe's flight till next morning, when it was too 1 ate to stop her, 60, you see, I can tell you nothing." Norwood was about to reply when a knook came to the door and the servant, entering, gave a card to Sir Bupert, which he glanced at and then handed to Norwood. "Here is the detective Who has the ease in hand," he said, quietly. "Perhaps, if yon question him, you may find out what you want to know. Show the gentleman "iJowker'i a elrr man," said Nor,

wood, when the servant had retired; "he arrested Desmond, so I presume he has oome here to get evidence against him. Now, Miss Penfold, we must pot our wits against his." "Yes, nd between the two stools poor Desmond will fall to the ground," replied the baronet, with a cold smile, "Here is your deteotive," Mr. Dowker, being announced by the servant, entered the room quietly, and bowed first to Miss Penfold. and than to Sir Hupett. "Ho do you do, Mr. Norwood?" ha Mid, calmly. "I did not think to meet you here, but X suppose wo'reonlh same errand" "Not quite," replied Norwood. "You want to destroy Myles Desmond, I wish to nave him:" "There you are wrong," said Dowker, plao ng his hat beside a chair ind taking his seat. "I want to save him also." "Save him?" cried May, starting up. "Yes, because I believe him to be innocent." "Then why arrest him?" asked Nor-' wood. Dowker shrugged his ! boulders. "The evidenoe against him was too strong to permit him being at large, but from what I hate learned lately I have reason to, believe he is not the guilty man." This remark, coming from suoh a source, produced the pro roundest impression in the mind of May Penfold, and Norwood himself seemed relieved, while the baronet stood on the hearthrug and looked stolidly on. "Then we can work together?" said the lawyer. ' "Yes, to prove the innocence of Mr. Desmond," replied Dowker. "And iu doing so we will d scoror the real orimiaah "And UoW," observed Balscombe in a cold voice, "having settled this little matter about helping Mr. Desmond, whom I sincerely trust will be proven innocent of this charge, porhaps, Mr. Dowker, you

win iniorm me tne reason or your visit? 1 uersamiy, air, replied Wowltor, doitoerately. "I want to ask you a few questions about Lndy Balscombe." Two of his listeners looked at him in surprise, struok by the singularity of the coincidence that he should have called on exactly the same errand as they did, (TO BB COHTISJDKD. Snnff-Taking. "When snuff-taking was fashionable, an English nobleman calculated that a person addicted to the habit wasted upon his nose thirty-six and a half days in the year. A snuff-taker took one pinoh every ten minutes, and each pinch with its accompaniments occupied a minute and a half. Allowing sixteen hours to the day, he would be busy two hours and twenty-four minutes every day, or thirty-six an,d a half days in the year. Talleyrand insisted that diplomatists, at least, did not waste time by snufftaking. It afforded them, ho said, an opportunity of delaying and thus of gaining lime for framing a reply which was not ready at hand. It also allowed the removal of one's eyes from those of the questioner, and occupied the hands whose fidgeting might betray a nervousness that had better be concealed. Archbisop Whately acted upon Tallyrands's hint while an Oxford professor. When he had put a pithy question to a student, who .delayed answering until he had unravelled it, the professor found it convenient to take a pinch of snuff, as it helped him to allay his impatience. A sketch draws of him represents the logic class assembled, and Whately, while yet in the doorway, calling out: "Mr, Johnson, explain the nature ot the third operation of the mind." Then he flings himself in the chair, crosses the calf of one leg over the knee of the other, and, balancing himself on the two hind legs of the chair he shows signs of impatience before Mr. Johnson has gathered his wits together. Oat comes his huge snuff-box, from which a handful of snuff is administered to his nose and sprinkled npon his waistcoat. It soothes him so that, when JaJweoa answers in the' words of the text-book, he is calm enough to give a luminous exposition of the subject. Darwin, the naturalist, used snuff to stimulate his mind during working hours. That he might not take too many pinches, he kept a jar of snuff on the hall table. The distance between the hall and his study acted as a chock upon over-indulgence. But the chink of th lid of the snuffjar was a familiar sou) d in the family. Sometimes , when in the drawing-room, Darwin would suggest that the study fire must be burning low. The family smiled as he went out ostensibly to replenish it, but really to get a pinoh of snuff. An eloquent preacher of Glasgow, the Bev. William Anderson, was so addicted to snuff that he would take a pinch in the pulpit Once, while uttering the words, "My soulcleavethto the dust," he took a pinoh of snuff . He lamented the mastery which the habit had gained over him, and once, while preaching from the text, "All i vanity," treated his nose to snuff and then said, "And this also is vanity." What Sort of Repentance Francis Murphy Awakened in a Drunkard." Judge Oorwin's famous temperanoe address recalls an incident which oc ourred daring one of Francis Murphy's blue-ribbon addresses. A drunken man sat iu the audience and listened with owlish gravity to the remarks. Murphy was telling of a fearful occurrence, alleged to have happened in a distant State where suoh things always happen. "And, my friends," said he, "this poor wretch was so filled and saturated with alcohol that he fairly breathed alcohol, and one night when he tried to blowout a. candle tho flames set the alcohol fumes afire and the miserable sot was burned alive." The drunken man rose to his feet and huskily demanded; "Ish thassho?" "It is most assuredly so, sir." "Got er hio got er Book?" Yes, right down here in front." The horrible example walked uncertainly down to the front. The audience was on tiptoes of expectancy. Here was another brand plucked from the burning. "I solemnly nhwear," said the inebriate, "that, never, sho Jong's I live, will I hie will I ever blow out another candle." Washington Post. Carl Pretzel's Philosophy.

About twenty-two hundred persons were killed during 1889 by the deadly car-coupler.

The Senate Finance Committee ordered a favorable report oa the nominations ot the aye members of tho General Board of Appraiser recently appointed by the President. The only discussion wa over tho names ot Muasr. -Sharp and Jewell, of New York, againat whom there as some feeling on tho part of the Demooratio and Bepubiican member of the comtuitleo, respectively. The House, after routine business, went into committee of the whole on the bill appropriating $630,189 for additional clerical force for the Pension Office, after agreeing to a motion that the general debate be limited to two hour.
