The Mystery of Agatha Webb.

is necovenng nimseir with an effort, fce repeated bis words. "I hare but one recollection of Mrs- Webb that I can give you. Year ago. when I was a lad. I was playing on the green with eeveral other boys. We had bad some dispute about a lost ball, and I was swearing angrily and loud when I suddenly perceived before me the tall form and compassionate face of Mrs. Webb. Fne was dressed In her usual simple way and had a basket on her arm. but she looked so superior to any other woman I bad ever met that I did not know whether to hide my face in her skirts or to follow my first impulse and run away. She saw the emotion she Lad aroused, and. lifting up my face by the chin, she said: 'Little boy, I hare burled six children, all of them younger than you, and now my hus band and myself live alone. Often and often have I wished that one at least of those darling infants might have ben spared us. But had God given me the choice of having them die young and Innocent or of growing up to swear as I have heard you today I should have prayed God to take them as he did. You have a mother. Do not break her heart by taking the name of the God, she reveres In vain And with that she kissed me. and, strange as It may seem to you. In whatever folly or wickedness I have Indulged, I have never made use of an oath from that day to this and I thank God for It." There was such unusual feeling In Lis voice, a feeling that none bad ever ruspected him capable of before, that Miss Ilalliday regarded blm with astonishment and quite forgot to Indulge In her usual banter. Even the gentlemen sat still, and there was a momentary silence, through which there presently broke the Incongruous sound of a shrill and mocking laugh. It came from Amabel, who had Just finished gathering ber bouquet In the garden outside. CHAPTER X. TTTE MAT WITH THE LO.XO BEARD. Meanwhile in a small room of the courthouse a still more serious conversation was In progress. Dr. Talbot, Mr. Fenton and a certain able lawyer In town by the name of Harvey were in close discussion. The latter had broken the silence of years and was telling what he knew of Mrs. Webb's affairs. ' He was a shrewd man of unblemished reputation. When called upon to talk, he talked well, but he much preferred listening, and was. as now appeared, the safest repository of secrets to be found in all that region. He bad leeii married three times and could ttill count 15 children around bis 1'oard. one reason perhaps why be had learned to cultivate silence to such a ;egret. app:iy me twr.i nan come for him to talk, and he talked. This is vLat he a!i: "Some l. years ago Philemon Webb canir to nie with n small sum of money which be said he wished to have me Invest for his wife. It was the fruit of a small speculation of his, and he wanted It given unconditionally to her without her knowledge or that of the neighbors. I accbrdingly made out a deed of gift, which . he .signed .with Joyful alacrity, and then, after due thought and careful Investigation. I put the money into a . new enterprise then being started In Boston. It was the best stroke of business I ever' did In my life. At the end of. a year: it paid double, and after five years had rolled away the accumulated ' Interest " bad reached jsucb a sum that both Philemon and myself thought It wisest to Jet her know what she was worth find what was being done with the money. 1 was In hopes It would lead ber to make some change In her mode of living, which seemed to me out of keeping with her appearance and mental qualifications, while he. I imagine, looked for, something more important Hill, a smile on the face which had eo"mehoV ' tbst the' 'frlcV of merriment: though It had never acquired that of ill nature. ,But -we "did not know Agatha, at least I did not. "When she learned that she was rich, she looked at first awe struck and thcu heart pierced. Forgetting me, or Ignoring me, it makes no matter which, she threw herself Into Philemon's arms and wept, while he, poor faithful fellow, looked as distressed as .if he had brought uews of a failure Instead of triumphant success. I supposeshe thought of ber buried children and what the money would Lave been to ber If they had live': but she did not speak of them, nor am I quite sure they were In her thoughts when, after the first excitement was over, she drew back and paid quiet!..', but In a tone of strong feeling to PLilemou: You meant me a happy surprise, and it shall bo so, Phil emon. This is heart money. "We will use It to make our townsfolk happy.' I aw him glance at her dress, which was a"purp!e calico. I remember It because of that look and because of the t-ad smile with which she followed bis glance. 'Can we not afford now he ventured, 'a little show of luxury, or at least a ribbon or so for this beautiful throat of yours? She did not answer him. but her look had a rare compassion In It, a compassion, strange to fay, that seemed to be expended upon him rather than upon herself. Philemon swallowed his disappointment. Agatha Is right.' be said to me. 'We do not need lusury. I do not know bow I eo far forgot myself as to mention It.' That was ten years aso. and every day isioce then her property has increased. I did not know then, and I do r.nt know now, why they were both so anxious that all knowledge of their good fortune should be kept from those about them, but that It was to be so kept was made very evident to me. and, notwithstanding all temptations to the contrary, I bar refrained from uttering a word likely to give away their secret. The money, which to all appearance was the cause of her tragic end untimely death, was Interest mentev which I was delegated to deliver tai

uer. i iook n to ner aay oerore yesterday, and It was all In crisp, new notes, some of them twenties, but most of them tens and five. I am free to say there was not such another roll of fresb money In town." "Warn all shopkeepers to keep a lookout of the money they receive." was Dr. Talbot's comment to the constable. "Fresh $10 and $20 bills are not any too common in this town. And now about ber will. Did you draw that up. Harvey?" "No. I did not know she had made one. I often spoke to her about the advisability of her doing so. but she always put me off. And now it seems that she had It drawn up In Boston. Could not trust her old friend with too many secrets. I suppose." "So you don't know how her money has been left?" "No more than you do." Here an interruption occurred. The door opened, and a slim young man wearing spectacles came in. At sight of him they all rose. "Well?" eagerly inquired Dr. Talbot. I "Nothing new." answered the young man. with a consequential air. "The elder woman died from loss of blood consequent upon a blow given by a small, three sided, slender blade; the younger from a stroke of apoplexy Induced by fright." "Good! I am glad to bear my Instincts were not at fault. Loss of blood, eh? Death, then, was not instantaneous?' "No." "Strange!" fell from the Hps of his two listeners. "She lived, yet gave no alarm." "None that was beard." suggested the young doctor, who was from an other town. "Or If heard reached no ears but Philemon's." observed the constable, "Something must have taken him up stairs." "I am not so sure." said the coroner, "that Philemon is not answerable for the whole crime, notwithstanding our failure to find the missing money anywhere in the bouse. How else account for the resignation with which she evidently met ber death? Had a stranger struck her Agatha Webb would have struggled. There is no sign of struggle in the room." "She would have struggled against Philemon bad she bad strength to struggle. I think she was asleep when she was struck." . "Ah. and was not standing by the table! How about the blood there, then?" "Shook' from the murderer's fingers In fright or disgust" "There was no blood on Philemon's fingers. No. He wiped them on his sleeve." "If he was the one to use the dagger against her. where Is the dagger? Should we not be able to find It some where about the premises?" "He may have buried It outside. Crazy men are superuaturally - cunning." "When you can produce It from any placo inside that board- fence,- I will consider your theory. At present I limit my suspicions of Philemon to the half unconscious attentions which a man of disordered intellect might give a wife bleeding and dying under his eyes. My Idea on the subject Is" "Would you be so kind as not to give utterance to your ideas until I have been able to form some for myself?" Interrupted a voice from the doorway. As this voice was unexpected they all turned. A small man with sleek, dart hair and expressionlass features stooit before them. Behind him was Abe! carrying a handbag and umbrella. "The detective from Boston." an nounced the latter. Coroner Talbot rose. "You are in good time." he remarked. "We have work of no ordinary nature for you." to lOOK . JSterscii-;. But then his countenance was not one to show emotion. "My name is Knapp," said he. "2 have had my supper and am ready to go to work. I have read the newspapers. All I want now are any additional facts that have come to light since the telegraphic dispatches were sent to Boston. Facts, mind you, not theories. I never allow myself to be hampered by other persons' theories." Not liking his manner, which was brusque and too self important for a man of such insignificant appearance, .Coroner Talbot referred him to Mr. Fenton, who immediately proceeded to give him the result of such Investigations as he and his men bad been able to make, which done, Mr. Knapp put on his hat and turned toward the door. ; "I will go to the house and see for myself what there is to see there," said he. "May I ask the privilege of going alone?" he added, as Mr. Fenton moved. "Abel here will see that I am given admittance." i "Show me your credentials," said the coroner. He did so. "They seem all right, and yon should be a man who understands his business. Go alone if yon prefer, but bring your conclusions here. They may need some correcting." "Oh, I will return." Knapp nonchalantly remarked and went out, having made anything but a favorable impression upon the assembled gentlemen. ' . "I wish we had shown more grit and tried to handle this thing ourselves," observed Mr. Fenton. "I cannot bear to think of that cold, bloodless creature hovering over our beloved Agatha." "I wonder at Carson. . Why should he send us sneh a man? Could he not see the matter demanded extraordinary skill and judgment?" "Oh. this fellow may have skill. But he Is so unpleasant. I hate to deal with folks of such fishlike characteristics. Bat who is this?" he asked as a gentle tap was heard on the door. "Why. It's Loton. What can he want here?" .

He was of a weak, irritable type and seemed to be in a state of great excitement. "1 beg pardon." said be, "for show ing myself. I don't like to intrude Into such company, but I have something to tell you which may be of use. sirs, though it l3n't any great thing cither." "Something about the murder which has taken place?" asked the coroner in a milder tone. He knew Loton well and realized the advisability of encour agement in his case. "The murder! Oh. I wouldn't pre sume to say anything about the murder! I'm not the man to stir up. any such subject as that. It's about the money or some money more money than usually falls into my tilL It It was rather queer, sirs, and I have felt the flutter of it all day. Shall I tell you about it? It happened last nightrlate last night, sirs, so late that I was In bed with my wife and bad been snoring, she said, four hours." "What money? New money? Crisp, fresh bills. Loton?" eagerly questioned Mr. Fenton. Loton, who was the keeper or a small confectionery and bakery store one one of the side streets leading up the hill, shifted uneasily between hi3 two Interrogators and flually addressed himself to the coroner: "It was new money. I thought It felt so at night, but I was sure of it in the morning. A brand new bill, sir: a but that isn't the queerest! part.

The hammering had "PTe have work nt no ordinary nature t for you." become deafening. No let up till I reached the door, when it suddenly ceased. "'What is It?' I cried.

EXPORTS ARE FALLING OFF

LESS COTTON GOODS SOLD United States Did Net Send as Much to That Country as Usual Kero sene Oil Also Showed Decided De crease. Publishers' Press.! ashing II. importations of cotton goods from the United States into China suffered a heavy falling off during 1905, according Jto a statement issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. This reduction, however, is general and not aimed excluilvely at this country. The reason f:r this marked decline in importations of cotton products is due, it is explained to the fact that China bought more of these goods than she could consume one year ago. It is shown that China purchased about $14,000,000 worth less of cotton goods for the 11 months ending with November than durlnj a correspond ing period in 190j. Importations from the United Slates into China for the United States into China for the 11 months in 1905 aggregated $31,000,000, and in the same period last year $17,000,000. The four principal classes of cotton goods which China has been accustomed to draw from the United States are cotton sheetings, shirtings, drills and jeans. Kerosene oil, the second article in Importance of the export trade to China, also shows a marked decline for the year. During 11 months in 1906 exports in that product amounted to 71,500,000. gallons and In a like period last year 44,000,000 gallons,, RICHM0NDITES .IN TROUPE Mr, and Mrs. George Gaile, Formerly of this City, to Appear Here with "My Wife's Family."

HEWS OF THE THEATERS

Repertoire at the Gennett. This afternoon the North company, which is filling a week's engagement at the Gennett, will present "Driven from Home," and tonight "A Fight for Millions. Manager Swisher, who has had the most liberal patronage all week, is anticipating a rush for the closing performances. The North company has greatly pleased Gennett patrons with its combined standard plays, specialties and concerts by the ladies orchestra and will return for another engagement within a few weeks. Vaudeville at the Phillips. As the week is rapidly drawing to a close, those who have not seen the bill at the New Phillips should do so as it is one of the best in many weeks. There has been no disappointment over the work of the various performers who are apiearing there each afternoon and night. A special matinee will be given today for children and a double bill at night. Vaudeville will be continued next week and the Palladium will announce the bill tomorrow. Running for Governor" -Gennett. Mr. Robert Downing is presenting this season a new comedy of Western life written by Herbert Bashford. en titled "Running for Governor, in which he assumes the character of "Hon. John North." In this there is nothing unusual- However, there is one man on earth to whom the produc tion of this play means much. He is the original "North," the man from whom the character was drawn. He is worried. In fact, it is said that when he learned that the playwright had pictured him in a drama and had seized upon a humorous, jet unpleas ant episode in his career only known to a few friends, that he became very much disturbed. It is rumored that he wrote Mr. Bashford regarding the comedy of which a mutual friend had told him, and learned from the author that the plot bore strongly uion facts of which the playwright professed to know nothing. So exercised did this Washington politician become that ru mor has it that he offered the author a handsome sum to hide the manuscript from the light of day, as the chagrin of Tnavinc a familv secret leak out through the medium of the stage was intolerable to one of his sensitive na ture. Bashford related to Robert Downing, so the story goes, the offer of Mr. and the tribulation suf fered on account of the realistic com edy's forthcoming production. Mr. Downing replied, it is said In a brief note, stating that he considered the drama one of the best ever written and it would take more money than any politician Washington produced to cause him to relinquish his rights to the play, and consequently the actor is preparing for an elaborate produc tion of "Running for Governor," at an early date, and he booked the play for an extensive tour throughout the United States. Meantime the original "North" is frettinc and fuming over what he terms unwarranted license on the part of the playwright to place his domes tic affairs before the public and hob; him up to the amusement of bis friends. What the result will be, re mains to be seen, but certain it is there Is likely to be a mad individual In the state of Washington whom pub lic men may easily recognize. Mr. Downing and his company, will appear at the Gennett next Wcdnes day, matinee and night. The Girl and the Bandit" -Gennett The dazzling presentation of "The Girl and the Bandit," which is booked to play at the Gannett, next Thursday night, is conceded to be one of the best comic operas launched in a decade. Miss Viola Gullette, the fam ous prima donna contralto, leads. the list of a big company containing fifty odd members. The entire scenic production is car ried by the company. . For excellence of scenic effect, brilliancy and appro priateness of costumes, and for beau ty and vivaciousness of show girls, this production has not been equaled for a long time. "My Wife's Family" Gennett. A musical farce comedy said to be of unusual excellence, will be the at traction at the Gennett, next Monday night. Manager Swisher, having been fortunate In securing the three act play, "My Wife's Family," the combined work of Hal Stephens and Harry Linton, prolific and successful writers of that style of entertainment. This merry concoction of fun, music and amusing frivolity, was greeted by warm praise wherever presented last season, as the jolliest, cleanest and liveliest of comedies seen In the musical world, a constant creator of laughter, that is simply irresistible The comedy appeals to all that Is refined, the book is not of the forced kind, while the musical numbers are all of the jingling whistling order. The company presenting "My Wife's Family," was selected for each person's natural ability to assume the various characters assigned to them, with the result one of the best drilled organizations on the road today. Clev er comedians, pretty girls and a whole ensemble, well nigh perfect in every way. The costuming, electrical and stage effects are correct in every detail. The engagement of "My Wife's Family," should prove to be an artistic and financial success. Appleyard Arraigned. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 11. Arthur E. Appleyard of Boston arrived here to be arraigned In court under an indictment charging grand larceny in the first degree by defrauding the German bank out of $48,000 on worthless securities for a loan of that amount.
