"When full of the suspicion that Miss Page had had a hand In the theft, if not the murder of Mrs. Webb, I hastened down to the scene of the tragedy, I met this young woman issuing from the front gate. She had Just been making herself conspicuous by pointing out a trail of blood on the grass plot. Dr. Talbot, who was there, will remember how she looked on that occasion, but I doubt if he noticed how Abel here looked, or so much as remarked the faded flower the silly boy had stuck in his buttonhole." "I did not," ejaculated the coroner. Yet that flower has a very Important bearing on this case. lie had found

It, as be will tell you, on the floor near Batsy's skirts, and as soon as I saw It in his coat, I bade him take it out and keep It, for, gentlemen, it was a very uncommon flower, the like of which can only be found in this town in Mr. Sutherland's conservatory. I remember seeing such a one in ",?e's hair, early in the evening. you that flower about you. Abo . Abel had, and be in;; tilled with importance, too, showed it to the doctor and to Mr. Fenton. It was withered and faded in hue, but it was unmistakably an orchid of the rarest description. It was lying near Batsy," explained Abel. "I drew Mr. Fenton's attention to it at the time, but he scarcely noticed it." "I will make up for my Indifference now," said that gentleman. "I should have been shown that flower," put in Knapp. "So you should," acknowledged

Sweetwater, "but when the detective Instinct is aroused it Is hard for a man to be Just to his rivals. Besides. I was otherwise occupied. I bad Miss Page to watch. Happily for me, it had been decided that she should not le allowed to leave town till after the Inquest, and so my task became easy. This whole day I have spent in sight of Mr. Sutherland's bouse, and at nightfall I was rewarded by detecting her end a prolonged walk in the garden by a hurried dash into the woods

opposite. I followed her and noted

carefully all that she did. As she had Just seen Frederick Sutherland and

Miss IXolHday disappear up the road together, she probably felt free to do

as she liked, for she walked very directly to the old tree we have Just 'come from and, kneeling down beside It. pulled from the hole underneath something which rattled In her hand with that peculiar sound we associate with fresh bank notes. I bad approached her as near as I dared and was peering around a tree trunk when she stooped down again and plunged both hands into the bole. She remained in this position so long that I did not know what to make of it. she rose at last and turned toward home, laughing to herself In a wicked but pleased way that did not tend to make roe think any more of her. The moon .was shining very brightly by this time, and I could readily perceive every detail of her person. She held her hands rut before her and shook them more than once as she trod' by me. so I was sure there was nothing in them, and this Is why I was so confident we should find the money still in the hole. "Wbon I saw her enter the bouse, I set out to flud you. but the courthouse room was empty, and it was a long time before 1 learned where to look for you. But at last a fellow at Brighton's corner said he saw four men go by on their way to Zalwl's cottage, and on the chance of finding you among them I turned down here. The shock you

But death had been In the Webb cottage before him, which awful circumstance, acting on his already weakened nerves, drove him half insane from the house and sent him wandering blindly about the streets for a good half hour before he reappeared In his own house. How do I know this? From a very simple fact. Abel here has been to inquire, among other things, if Mr. Crane remembers the tune we were playing at the great house when he came down the main

street from visiting old Widow Wal

ker. Fortunately he does, for the trip,

trip, trip in it struck his fancy, and he has found himself bumming it over

more than once since. Well, that waltz

was played by us at a quarter after

midnight, which Axes the time of the encounter at Mrs. Webb's gateway pretty accurately. But, as you will soon see, it was 12:50 before James

Zabel knocked at Loton's door. IIow do I know this? By the same method of reasoning by which I determined

the time of Mr. Crane's encounter. Mrs. Loton was greatly pleased with the music pldred that night and had all her windowsXopen In order to hear It, and she says ye; were playing 'Money Musk' when tat knocking came to

disturb her. NcW, gentlemen, we played 'Money Musi just before we were called out to supper, and as we went to supper promptly at 1:43 you can see just how my calculation was made. "Thirty-five minutes then passed between the moment James Zabel was seen rushing from Mrs. Webb's gateway and that fa which he appeared at Loton's bakery, demanding a loaf of bread and offering in exchange one of the bills which had been stolen from the murdered woman's drawer. Thirtyfive minutes! And be and bis brother were starving. Does It look, then, as if that money was in bis possession when he left Mrs. Webb's house? Would any man who felt the pangs of hunger as he did or who saw a brother perishing for food before his eyes, allow 35 minutes to elapse before he made use of the money that rightfully or wrongfully had come into his haird? No, and so I say that he did not have

it when Mr. Crane met him. That, Instead pf committing crime to obtain it, he found it in his own home, lying on his own table, when, after his frenzied absence, he retnrned to tell his dreadful news to the brother he had left behind him. But bow did it come there? you ask. Gentlemen, remember the footprints under the window. Amabel Page brought it. Having seen or per

haps met this old man roaming In or near the Webb cottage during the time she was there herself, she conceived the plan of throwing upon him the onus of the crime she had herself commit-

or secret tnumpn, "ana wnen James returned, as he did a few minutes later, he was evidently unable to answer questions even if James was in a condition to ask them. But the fallen dagger told its own story, for James picked it up and put it back on the table, and it was at this minute he saw, what John had not, the $20 bill lying there with its promise of life and comfort. Hope revives. He catches up this bill, flies down to Loton's, procures a loaf of bread and comes frantically back, gnawing It as he runs, for bis own hunger Is more than be can endure. Reentering bis brother'6 presence, he rushes forward with the bread. But the relief has come too late. John has died in his absence, and James, dizzy with the shock, reels back and succumbs to his own misery. Gentlemen, have you anything to say In contradiction of these various suppositions?" For a moment Dr. Talbot. Mr. Fenton and even Knapp stood silent; then the latter said, with pardonable dryness: "All this is ingenious; but, unfortunately. It Is upset by a little fact which you yourself have overlooked. Have you examined attentively the dagger of which you have so often spoken, Mr. Sweetwater?" "Not as I would like to. but I noticed it had blood on its edge and was of the shape and size necessary to inflict the wound from which Mrs. Webb died."

"Very good, but there is something

else of Interest to be observed on it.

Fetch it. Abel."

Abel, hurrying from the room, soon

brought back the weapon in question.

Sweetwater, with a vague sense of dis

appointment disturbing him, took it

eagerly and studied it very closely.

But he only shook his head. "Bring It nearer to the light," sug

gested Knapp, "and examine the little

scroll near the top of the handle.

Sweetwater did so and at once chang

ed color. In the midst of the scroll were two very small but yet perfectly

distinct letters. They were "J. Z.

"How did Amabel Page come by a dagger marked with the Zabel ini

tials?" questioned Knapp. "Do you

think her foresight went so far as to provide herself with a dagger ostensibly belonging to one of these brothers?

And then have you forgotten that when Mr. Crane met the old man at Mrs. Webb's gateway he saw in his band something that glistened? Now, what was that if not this dagger?" Sweetwater was more disturbed than he cared to acknowledge. "That just shows my lack of experience," he grumbled. "I thought I had turned this subject so thoroughly over in my mind that no one could bring an objectlou against it." Knapp shook his head and smiled. "Toung enthusiasts like yourself are great at forming theories which well seasoned men like myself must regard as fantastical. However," he went on, "there is no aoubt that Miss Page was a witness to, even if she has not profited by, the murder we have been considering. But with this palpable proof of the Zabels' direct connection with the affair 1 would not recommend her arrest as yet." "She should be under surveillance,

gave me In announcing that you had j ted and with a slyness to be expected

discovered the murderer of Agatha Webb knocked me over for the moment, but now I hope you realize, as 1 do, that he could never have had an active hand in her death notwithstanding the fact that one of the stolen bills has been found to have been in that wretched man's possession, for and here is my great point the proof is not wanting that Miss Page visited this house as well as Mrs. Webb's during her famous escapade, or at least stood tinder the window beneath which I have Just been searching. A footprint can be seen there, sirs, a very plain footprint, and if Dr. Talbot will take the trouble to compare It with the slipper he holds In his hand be will find it to nave been'-made' by" the foot "that wore that slipper." The coroner, with a quick glance from the slipper in his hand up to Sweetwater's eager face, showed a decided disposition to make the experi-

rr.?nt thus suggested, but Mr. Fenton, bose mind was full of the Zabel trag- . rdy, interrupted them with the question : "But how do you explain by this hypothesis the fact of James Zabel trying to pass one of the $20 bills stolen from Mrs. Webb's cupboard? Do you consider Miss Page generous enough to

give him that money?" "You ask me that, Mr. Fenton? Do you wish to know what I think of the connection between these two great tragedies r "Yes; you have earned a voice In this matter. Speak, Sweetwater." "Well. then. I think Miss Fage has made aa effort to throw the blame of her own misdoing on one or both of these unfortunate old men. She Is sufficiently cold blooded and calculating to do so. and circumstances certainly favored her. Shall I show how?" Mr. Fenton consulted Knapp, who nodded his head. The Boston detective was not without curiosity as to how Sweetwater would prove his case. "Old James Zabel had seen his brother sinking rapidly from Inanition. This their condition amply shows. lie was weak himself, but John was weak

er, and in a moment of desperation he

from her stole up to his home, made a hole in the shade hanging over an open window, looked Into be room where John sat. saw that he was there alone and asleep, and. creeping In by the front door, laid on the table beside him the $20 bill and the bloody dagger with which she had Just slain AgatBa Webb. Then sbe stole out again and la 20 minutes more was leading the dance again In Mr. Sutherland's parlor." "Well reasoned !" murmured Abel, expecting the others to echo him. But. though Mr. Fenton and Dr. Talbot lookvd almost convinced, they said nothing, while Knapp, of course, was quiet as an oyster. Sweetwater, wltu a' cra;et same calculated to hide bis disappointment, went on as if perfectly satisfied. "Meanwhile John awakes, sees the dagger and thinks to end his misery with it, but finds himself too feeble. The cut in his vest, the dent in the floor, prove this, but If you call for further proof, a little fact, which some if not all of you seem to have overlooked, will amply satisfy you that this one at least of my conclusions is correct. Open the Bible, Abel; open it not to shake it for what will never fall out from between its leaves, but to find In the Bible itself the lines I have declared to

you he wrote as a dying legacy with that tightly clutched pencil. Have you found them?" "No," was Abel's perplexed retort. "I cannot see any sign of writing on fly leaf or margin." "Are those the only blank places In the sacred book? Search the leaves devoted to the family record. Now, what do you find there 7" Knapp. who was losing some of his Indifference, drew nearer and read for himself the scrawl which now appeared to every eye on the discolored page which Abel here turned uppermost. "Almost Illegible." he ?id. "One can jnst make out these words: 'Forgive me, James tried to use dagger found lying but band wouir 'ring withoutdon't grieve tit haven't disgraced ourselves . 0s' That is all." "The effort must have overcome him."

GERTRUDE SHUTE ASKS COURT FOR DIVORCE

IPubllsners Press! Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15. Miners from all parts of the United States are here to attend the eighteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which opened Tuesday. Being an "off year," there is no wage scale to adjust and no strikes of any consequence to consider, however there are between 700 and 800 delegates at the convention, which will continue eight or ten days. In his annual address as president, John Mitchell said the past year was eventful with its suspension of work to enforce the restoration of the wage scale of 1903, and he believed the policy adopted was for the best. The membership shows a decrease of 38,910 on the records on account of exoneration from dues of many members who were on strike. The anthracite field shows a decrease of 32,220 members and the president insisted on increased activity in organization. Unless otherwise Instructed he will put

a number of organizers in that field. For the first time in. years the organization is practically free from strikes. Less money is being expended by unions for idle men than ever before. To show the importance of machine mining, the address stated that last year 14 per cent of the bituminous production was machine mined. Attention was called to an increasing number of casualties in mines. Legislation was urged to provide for an examination of persons permitted to be employed in mines. Speaking of the apathy in the anthracite field which reduced the membership materially, the address said: "This indifference on the part of the miners can not be attributed to failure on the part of the organization to secure improvements for them. Their

wages have been advanced to a con

siderable extent; their hours of work

have been reduced; the conditions of

life and labor have been greatly ameliorated and, in addition thereto, a relation has been established between them and their employers that was inconceivable even to the most

optimistic a few years ago."

The strike last year, with the preceding conferences with operators.

and the succeeding restoration of the advance in wages demanded, was reviewed, and speaking of the effect of the action taken by the miners in their last national convention, which permitted signing a scale by districts and locally, the address said: "Taking a retrospective view of the whole struggle in the anthracite and bituminous fields, from its inception to its close, I am constrained to the belief that, all things considered, the wisest policy was pursued, and the best results obtained that could be secured under the circumstances. I am, of course, not unmindful of the fact that there were many disappointments, that in some sections members were forced to yield conditions which they regarded as essential to their welfare in order that the interests of

the whole number might be preserved

and promoted. When it is considered,

however, that more than 400,000 em

ployes were involved, representing a

population of approximately 2,000,000 directly dependent on them, and that

contest with only

$400,000 in our treasury, I feel that we can well forget our vexations, congratulate ourselves on our successes, Join in renewed effort to regain our comparatively small losses, and struggle on with untiring seal for a larger and still larger share of the wealth we produce." T. L. Lewis, vice president of the miners, in his report, deplored the action of the last national convention in adopting the policy of permitting the wage scale to be signed by districts and locally. He Insisted that the organization must maintain a national character, and claimed that as a result of the action last year the membership of the organization decreased 50,000. The report said: "In the early part of the summer there existed among our members a widespread feeling of discontent. So great was

this feeling of dissatisfaction that it materially interfered with the progress of thV organization. I have sent thousands of letters to different localities for the purpose of restoring confidence among our members. I have also attended numerous local unions and massmeetings for the same purpose. While there has been a large loss in membership during the past year, there has been a steady increase In the membership the past several j

months, and yet there is a tremendous loss in our membership compared to what it was a year ago." He said the organization could not remain stationary while any districts were unorganized. He said that while a greater number of miners was employed in the mines of Pennsylvania. Maryland, Virginia and TtVst Virginia in 1905 than in 1905, the membership in those states decreased from 12S.083 to 79,183. He said the reason for this loss was the extra assessment and dissatisfaction with the terms of last year's settlement.

NO MAN IS STRONOER THAN HIS STOMACH. Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soou fail. Physical strength is derived from food, if a man has insuftunent food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies. Food is converted into nutrition through the stomach and bowels. It depend on th strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have abundant food to eat. whn th stomach and its associate organs of digestion t.wd nutriiion do net perform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital organ of the body. U th stomach is "weak the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for It? strength. And as the body, considered as a whole, is made up of its several mmber and organs, so the weakness of th body as a consequence of "weak" stomach will be distributed amorg the organs which cumpoo the body.

"Running for Governor" Gennett.

Few plays have been written in which the story unfofds itself more naturally or with greater interest than "Running for Governor." which

Robert Downing is playing with re

markable success. The author has observed the unities. There are no

weary soliloquies to tire the audience.

no "asides" to explain matters, no eavesdropping, overhearing Important conversations and no villain. Of

course there is a clash of interests.

The mother wants to marry her daughter to a title, the reporter loves the girl, while the nominee for the gov

ernorship of the state, "Hon. John North" is endeavoring to keep the

knowledge of his first wife from the ears of the second Mrs. North and to prevent his brother-in-law from wedding wife number one. Ai bad boy and a servant girl with a passion for sensational literature also figure in the plot which moves along with many complications. x Herbert Bashford whose pieces are familiar to magazine readers, wrote the comedy for Mr. Downing and the title role is exactly fitted to him In every way. "Running for Governor" will be presented at the Gennett this afternoon and evening by Robert Downing and his company, "The Girl and the Bandit" Gennett. Great things are promised in "The Girl and the Bandit" which the Viola Gillette Opera company will present here at the Gennett, next Thursday night. This opera will be one of the most pronounced hits of the present season. In Chicago, where it was originally put on for two weeks only, the engagement had to be extended constantly, so that the company remain

ed there in all, ten weeks, the business being large at every performance. The opera has all the ele

ments that appeal to the popular

taste. The muusic is of ttie order

that is enjoyed by those who hear it. Miss Gillette, who is now to be seen

here for the first time-in feminine at

tire, has some of the best numbers

of the opera to sing.

The Fountain City basket ball team which disbanded some time ago because of the removal to Chicago of its manager, Victor Benton, has been reorganized and will finish the season under a new management. The team is one of the best in Eastern Indiana, having played crack clubs from all over this state, and some from western Ohio, losing comparatively few games. The new management will endeavor to secure the best teams to be had for the coming games, and thereby furnish the lovers of this sport some good entertainment. It is probable that a game will be played at Fountain City Saturday night.
