HIS LAST CHANCE.

Detective John Shairp was the most miserable man on the face of the earth—so lie believed. Tie was failing Again.

He iid it was ill luck. It had so happened that all the important jobs that had fallen in his way had been nuts impossible to crack—mysteries that no earthly genius could solve. He had always been unlucky, nnlucl^y, he said, fighting desperately against the whisper of a conviction that' he might be without the capability of the Weal detective.

Then, when he had begun almost to despair, something bad occurred, three weeks ago now, which Detective Shairp had fancied might at last be the making of jtll. had been sent down to Leeds in frkshire in answer to the special request 4t Mr. David Lindsay to inquire into the murder of Mr. Lindsay's young wife.

Twenty-seven years ago John Shairp /nd David Lindsay had been comrades in the Scotqh highlands. They had taken a sort of vow of perpetual friendship, ho had remembered with some amusement and some half bitter regret for the times when they were so frankly sentimental. After that they had corresponded for awhile and then had lost Might of each other.

Detective Shairp knew that David had risen to a position of prosperity in his business that he was the head of a large mill In the suburbs of Leeds and the owner of a houseat Kirk Lees, a little village about an hour's drive from Leeds, but he had not known until he had heard of the murder at Kirk Lees that David was married..

When he had arrived at the place, the detective had heard all about the murder. He remembered now that in the first few days of his stay under his old friend's roof he had scarcely given a minute of time to any recollection of their old friendship.

He had at once made himself master of the circumstances of the murder, which Mr. Lindsay had given him as follows:

On the, day of the murder Lindsay had driven into Leeds, as usual. Mrs. Lindsay had been at home all day. In the evening about. 8 o'clock a Mr. Cyrili Holt, i\n pld friend of Mrs. Lindsay's—an old-admirer, too—had called to see her. He had staid about half an hour, and then one of the servants had seed Mrs. Lindsay let [litn out at the front, door.

He had set oil" at a run to catch the 8:84 train at the local station. The station master deposed to his having caught the train and to it« being punctual, so thjjtt there were only four minutes between his leaving Mrs. Lindsay and reaching the stilt ion, and a man would have to run very last to cover the distance in that time:

Mrs. Lindsay returned to the drawing room after seeing Holt off. She ofteu sat there alone in the gloaming, waiting for her husband's return, and when he bad returned on that night, at 9:!10, he had entered the house through the open drawing room window and had found his wife dead, stabbed to the heart with a steel dagger that alio had worn in her hair, and stabbed, moreover, in such a neat, way, just above the left breast, that the wound had hied inwardly, only a few drops of blood oozing out to the surface.

It, was impossible to lay the guilt on Holt, who yet seemed the most likely. Mr. Lindsay's own alibi was the most perfect, or the time of leaving Leeds in his brougham was deposed to, and it would have been impossible for him to have reached Kirk Lees by 9 o'clock, the hour at which the murder had been committed.

Nothing could be made of the two servants, who had been chatting in the kitchen Iroiu the time when one of them had seen Bolt leave until the moment that the master's violent ringing of tho bell had brought, them to the scene of the murder.

Tho only possible surmise that could be formed was that some unknown person had entered the open drawing room window ami committed the crime and then got safely away.

The soil underneath the drawing room window had been carefully scratched over «s if to destroy the prints of footmarks.

This was what Detective Shairp had learned on arriving at Kirk Iiees three weeks ago, and this was all that he knew now. He was in despair, and so was his host.

Detective Shairp had suspectedjor a long time that his reputation had been at a very low jjnr in thusightof the authorities of Scotland Yard. Me lmd even beguu to fee! that possibly the choice lay for him between shortly leaving the service that he loved or being asked to leave.

It had never happened in all the former course of his professional career that any special request, for his services land been •ent to the Yard. Now that this had been the case there was only ueeded success in the task for him to reinstate himself in the good opinion of his ofticial superiors, and, better still, of himself.

Yet three weeks had gone by now since the date of his arrival at Kirk Lees, and he was again on the eve of owning to failore.

He had told his old friend how ho stood In his profession, and Lindsay had offered him a berth in a manufacturing concern that he owned In Australia if the detective really elected to leave the service. They were sitting in the drawing room this evening, discussing the murder, as usual. "1 thought of a little experiment last night that I should like to try, David," Shairp said. "I don't suppose it will give t» any clew, but it might. That is to hypnotise yon, and let you go through the •ottoe of discovering the body again." "Why, what good could that do?" asked Lindsay quickly. "I don't a*»y that it could do any, bat I should like to try it," "All right, I want to write a note first though. Yon can wait a minute?" "Ah, of course."

The detective sat watching his friend aa the note was written. Mr. Lindsay had lighted a wax candle and placed it on the eacritoire in front of him. In its light be could be seen aft the wreck of what bad been a burly, strongly marked Scot three or four week* ago.

Presently be had finished hi* writing, and turning to the detcctivc b«» npounced himself ready for the experiment. In a

„.§8®tssi

few more minutes he was Obedient to -Shairp VelightestMntr "The 'detective took Him outside to the gate, where-the brougham had stopped on the night of the murder, and after suggesting to him that he should go through the scene of discovery again he returnedto the half dark drawing room to watch—to watch without any expectation of gaining aoy useful result'from this experiment. '••.A fainfcevening'breeze blew the silk eprti&ns about, ami/the detectjve tfiejn in his hand to stop the rustling and then heard steps coming aero& the lawn.

They x:ame heavily,. nt»t as one -would expect a man to spring across a lawn to an open drawing room window. But the Lindsay hac} been late and probably tired on the evening of the murder.

He came' in siglit now, and Detective Shairp saw thjft he was stooping and holding out his arms in front of him, as if carrying some heavy weight. He came on to the window, and now the detective could see his. face, white, with drops of perspiration standing out on the forehead, and terror stricken eyes that seemed fixed on the lounge chair on which -the dead body had heeti found.

David entered the room with his dread imaginary burden, and going straight to the chair went through the pantomime of laying the burden down there, of placing what might he a dagger on the floor. Then he flew to the«bell, ami would have rung it had not Dete'ctive Shairp stopped him. "For God's sake, wake up, Lindsay!" the detective cried, passing his band over Lindsay's forehead, as the signal that had been agreed upon between them for arousing David from his hypnotic trance.

Lindsay sank into a chair. Without speaking and with a hand that did not tremble, he took .from his pocket the note that he bad written a few minutes ago and handed,it to the detective. Outside it said: "You know that it was I who commit ted the murder, and I know that you know, and that you are trying to drive me to confess it."

The detective dropped the note as if it burned him and stared in increased amazement at his friend. "I never suspected you for a momefit, David," he said. "How did you do it?"

Lindsay sat up suddenly, the red color of anger, at himself flooding his face. "You didn't know?" heasked, with rough incredulity. "Of course I didn't, and I don'tsee how you did-it yet." "I sent for you ou purpose, because I knew whoever came would find out all about it," said Lindsays "and I thought you'd let me off. It's all written on the paper,

Thfe detective picked up the paper that he had dropped. Yes, there it was," written in a: small,

.cuamped handwriting. He took

it to the candle and read .as follows: "On the night of the murder I was driving home from Leeds and had got to a bend in the road about a mile from here when we met Lucy, and I took her into the brougham. She-had come across the fields to tell me that Cyril Holt had been to seejier, fuyl up.w she had promised to ejope with him.' .•« "Whether slie had come to tell me about it because she had repented and decided not to tlo it, or whether she had determined to tell the truth and brave me and had run to meet me and doit before her courage failed, I don't, know. When she sat opposite to me and told me so straight out that, she had promised that day to leav*yre for Holt, I snatched the dagger from her hair and stabbed her. The clever way in which she was stabbed so as to cause no bloodshed was simply an accident. "I stopped tlio brougham and told Miles. Everybody about here knows that Miles is a bit simple that I did a good turn for him once, and that he would serve me as a dog. "I brought her home—half an hour's drive—carried her into the drawi* room in the dark and rang the bell. The servants were in the kitchen and had not seen mo enter. In driving through tho village .1 put Lucy into the bottom of the brougham, so that she should not be seen. That is all."

In the semidarkness of the drawing room, lit only by a single wax candle. Detective Shairp and his old friend sat looking at each other in silence. Into the detective's mind, relieved now of surprise, a new suggestion came with a jump. Here at last was success.

That very night a telegram might go off to Scotland Yard announcing the disoov ery of the murderer.

If Detective Shairp accepted the prize that lay within his grasp now, it meant success for the present, success for the future, everything that he had most longed for.

David Lindsay sat crouching in his chair, his dull eyes, dulled by weeks of fear and by overmuch brandy, taken to quell the fear, fixed on his frietid.

The course, fleshy face was not much like tho rnddy, healthy face of the youth to whom Detective Shairp bad vowed a lifelong friendship 80 years ago. The thick, forbidding looking lips were silent, so no Scotch accent recalled old highland memories.

Tho two men sat silent, arbiter and culprit. A ghostly night wind soughed in and out of the silk curtains. Presently Detective Shairp spoke: "Yotrmust give me tbnt berth in Australia, Davy, lad," he said. "I'll go out and take it."—Exchange.

Qncer Oils.

The National museum's collection of oils is very remarkable and forms the subject' *Vf an interesting description in The Pharmaceutical Era. There is oil from the nose of the pilot whale, which will not freeze at zero F., and the oil from the fore legs of the alligator, which will freeze where ice melts. The latter is a particularly fine leather dressing. Oil from fat just beneath the turtle's upper shell is recommended for rheumatism, while the oil tried out from the entrails of eel is said to be good for deafness.

The natives of Ecuador take an oil from the fat of a bird called the "guachero," which they consider equal to olive oil for table use. In Central America the people obtain a golden oil that is uneqnaled for waterproofing purposes from an insect that is about the size of a rosebud, which yields about two-thirds of its own weight in this peculiar grease. The insect feeds on the rap of a resinous plant, to which it clings by its long beak, giving it the appearance of being driven full of queer looking tacks. When the bugs are thickest, they are scraped off and boiled.

Shut Th«m f?j».

It la always the gun that was not loaded which explodes and kills the man who was looking down its mnxade. There are men like the unloaded guns. Yon are sure that they are harmless, but they always go off with fatal effect when least expected. Shut them up.—Brooklyn Citizen.

The manuscripts of Taseo, which are •till preserved, are illegible from the immense number of erasures, changes and emendations.

IIo llncartlied a Lawsuit.

The inquisitiveness of a boy in AUentown the other day resulted in the finding of $600 and will cause a lawsuit. The personal estate of Silas Camp, a rich old bachelor, who died a month ago, was sold at auction. Among the goods disposed of was an old safe, which was knocked down for $3.50. The safe had been used by Camp, but after his death it was opened by his relatives, and everything of value was taken out, as they supposed. Before the purchasers had an opportunity to take it away, however, a small boy worked the combination and opened the door. While examining the interior he pulled out a private drawer, and out roiled a pile of goldpieces. When counted, they were found to amount to nearly $600. The money was taken' in charge by Camp's brother under the protests of the new owners, who say they will bring suit for the gold.— Allentown (Pa.) Leader.

Steinped His Collar.

Postal authorities here were surprised the other day to discoyer in the mail matter a slightly soiled linen collar. At first it seemed that some absentminded person had mistaken a letter box for a soiled clothesbasket. Bnt an address on one side of the linen, with a canceled postage stamp and a letter written on the other, proved that the linen had been put to nse as the conveyer of intelligence. So the collar was back stamped and the missive delivered,—Worcester (Mass.) Letter.

There is still another of the former glories of Paris about to disappear—the Restaurant Vefonr.

It was founded in 1787 and cost its last pro prietor upward of a million.—-Paris Journal.

Solomon and His Family..

Solomotr was a large white rat, who lived in an artist's studio in New York. He/received his name because of his wis-* dom and his solemn fjpGe.

Solomon was as trustworthy as" a dog. He refrained from nibbling the curtains aiid rich stuffs that were scattered about £he studio and was most particularsot to take cheese or-rich cake-up on the sofa, where he was allowed to play and sleep when his paws were clean.

Now, it so happened that a friend of Solomon's mistress had some rats—a father and'mother and seven chi|lren: One night astray cat found her way to their cage and

•jusb-SIM

ji

ate" up the old rats. Perhaps she satisfied her appetite with them, or maybe she thought she would leave the little ones till they were bigger, and their bones ^would be better worth picking. At any rate the seven poor little things were left orphans,.

Solomon's mistress agreed to adopt them, and the cage w^tS' taken into her rooms.-1 Solomon stared and then went cautiously, up to the newcomers. He soon showed signs of joy at their arrival, and, to the astonishment of those who watched him, thinking that in spite of his former goodness he mif^t be a cannibal at heart and would take advantage of the occasion, he immediately took the little rats under his protection. He called them to him and coaxed them to snuggle down by his side, as their mother .would have done.

Wheii they were allowed to run about, he wafcbed them and taught them where they mi&ht go and where they might not go.

Only one of the seven orphans turned out a ®=Dius, bnt all of them became respectable rats and a great credit to Solomon.

TVIB genius of the,,family one day-came upon a guitar lying on the sofa, a,nd running up to it made the strings sound. The music pleased him so much that after his discovery he frequently went in search of the .instrument and s6ampered back and forth over the strings to his own great delight and to the amusement of all who saw him.—Margaret Compton in St, Louis Republic. -j_ "5s

An Alphabet farty.

A children's party that was given for the first time in this country was arranged by the wife of one of the Central American ministers to the United States.

This party is called the "alphabet party" and was given in honor, of the^minis^er's second child.

Madam explained its meaning. In the country from which they hail the alphabet partfx is tdAvays an event in a .child's life, and f.bere.is a gentle rivalry among friend' ly KhiOthers as to t"he age at which their children are entitled to the right to the party.

As soon as a little boy or girl has mastered the alphabet thoroughly the party occurs to celebrate the child's accomplishment. The table is decorated with pretty boxes and souvenirs for the little guests, which are always made at home. The little cakes have letters in frosting, or are made in the shape of A C's, and the alphabet figures in all sorts of devices.

The little hero or heroine has to convince the guests that he is master of the letters, and then comes the interesting event of the occasion.

There is a little balloon at hand waiting. The little alphabet book out of which the tiny senor or senorita has learned the letters is shut up in the balloon or tied to it, and the balloon is then set a-fiying, and if the alphabet is thoroughly mastered the balloon will bear the book faraway, and that's the last the little son or daughter is supposed to need of it.—New York Advertiser. ,v

He Had Queer Ideas.

Don't you wonder how any boy eould have such queer ideas as this little fellow had? He's not a little chap now, but a big fellow, and he laughs when he tells of his childish fancies. He used to think that the sky was fastened to the tops of the highest houses, and he thought the moon was a hole for God to look through to see if little boys and girls were good.

One summer, in the country, he tried to catch a darning needle, because he thought his mamma could use it to mend his stockings with. But, funniest of all, when he first heard that the world is round he somehow got the idea that we all lived on the inside, and for a long time he used to lie awake nights thinking how, when he grew np, he would cut his way through to the outside and see what it looked like.

Mustn't be have been disappointed when he found that we are all outside nowf Maybe he made up bis mind then to go to the centar of the earth, like the people Jules Verne tells about in his book.—New York Recorder.
