But why cHns: to the weak hopes, whan certainty and Bafety is within your reach Munyon's new School of Medicines hia Homeo- in ii in i pathio Horn me Dollar 1 Keep Your "Mr. Sturgos!" shrieked our landlady, seeing my excited face.

l' cried, "there Is murder going ou lu your house. Come at once come! To the rescue, I comma nd you!" With the whole house following, I rushed to the door of MiRs Marvin's room. I flung my whole strength against the door. A series of shrieks came from within. "it's locked! It's locked! It's locked!" I cried.

By this time I had succeeded In convincing somebody that some foul deed wast under way, for the servants came rushing up. One had a potato masher, the other had seized a decanter, which she evidently meant to use as a bludgeon. Bent on saving that poor old lady from a dreadful death at her daughter's hands, again I exerted my full strength against the door. There was a straining of the binges, a bursting of the lock, the door gave way. and there we stood in the midst of the room.

1 gave one spring toward the murderess and pinioned her in my arms. What happened next? Why, that miserable wretch. Will Graham actually threatened to have me nrrested for assaulting his promised wife. Just think of It when I knew I was stopping a terrible crime. The murder wasn't anything.

Miss Emily was one of your precious literary people writing a story with murder in it. She and Will Graham bad been engaged for three years. He usually helped her out with her plots. For some weeks there was a family row because Will wouldn't take the old lady's money to go into business with. Will said he would not risk Impoverishing her.

The old lady became provoked. She was tired of seeing Will nothing but a telegraph operator, so she said they should not speak to each other until he came to his senses and went into business A month later Will and Emily wore Quietly married, and thus ended the telegrapher's romance.

Porter Peck, Pres B. F. Campbell, Vice Pres. W. L.

Baker, Cashier Br Jackson Sturgen, For a year after our marriage my wife and I lived In a second-class boarding house in Ninth street, New York. Soon after our installation In the house we learned that a Mrs. Marvin and her daughter occupied the two Lack rooms ou the first floor. Directly over their apartments was our room, and a young uiau uanied William Graham tried to moke himself comfortable in the hack room of the third floor, directly over that used as a temporary home by myself mid F.liza, my wife. It did not need a very sharp pair of eyes to discover that Mr.

Will Cniham was in love with Miss Emily Marvin. Kliza and 1 understood it before mauy days. One day when I camp home a little earlier than usual Kli.u said to me: "Jack, I think there is something very mysterious about Miss Emily. 1 was going past their room to-day and I happened to look in and there sat Miss Emily at her writing desk. The tears were streaming down her cheeks and her pen was going like wild-tire.

was talking to herself. When I got up stairs 1 lay down for a nap. Presently 1 heard a queer noise. First I couldn't think what it was, but I listened again and then 1 made up my mind that somebody Mas playing on the bracket below as if it wore a piano. I have always said her actions were very strange, and Mrs.

Smith says so, too. I tell you Jackson, that that beautiful young girl is crazy-stark, staring crazy." As a matter of course I paid no ftir-tner attention to what I felt certain was Eliza's nonsense about JUiss Emily's mind being out of order. But one evening soon after entering our room I heard a most peculiar noise It sounded like "tick, tik, tick tick, tick, ticfc," and it came from a gas pipe. Now, I must tell you that among my earlier experiences In life I was once a telegraph operator. I knew all the dots and dashes and succession of ticks and spaces between the tick, that are equivalent to the letters of the alphabet.

And here I hoard them again. I saw through the whole business at once, and as I did so I just lay down on the bed and laughed until I was afraid I would have every button off my vest. Some one had told me that Will Graham was a telegraph operator. He had evidently taught Miss Emily the art, and here they were communicating with each other in the most satisfactory fashion, while everybody imagined that they were conducting themselves like perfect strangers. I then waited patiently to hear what was being said.

The conversation I had happened upon ran as follows: "How are you this evening'" "Awfully tired. And youV" "Tired, too. Mamma lias been particularly exasperating." "Has she? Am I never to have a talk with you again?" "I don't know. Keep up voir spirits." "I will; but it Is dreadfully trying." "I think somebody is coming." "Oh, dear!" I heard a door open and shut, and I knew that somebody had entered the room below. Well, matters were going on in this fashion when one day I began to think that the lovers were giving a new turn to their conversations.

One day I heard Emily say to Will: "There's no use; I've got to do it "What?" "Kill her." "All right." "Hut 1 hate to; and I can't think how." "Shoot her." "Nonsense!" 'At this point my wife came Into the room and she made such a noise that I could not hear anything more. But not long afterward there were more serious communications: "Dear, dear Will:" "What is it?" "I won't love you if you won't help me." "I will help you with all my might." "Then tell me what is a good way to kill an old woman." "Arsenic." "That won't do at all." her up with gunpowder." "Nonsense! You can't help me one "I'll die for you." "I don't want you to die. I want her to die, and I don't know how to kill her." 'Well, kill her somehow, or she'll be ilie death of both of us." How could these two Innocent-Iook-ng young people be depraved enough to plot the murder of a fellow being such a nearness manner? And who could the victim be? Who but the loor old lady to whom Miss Emily wed her being? Well, at last matters came to a crisis. was one summer's night. As I lay a bed I heard a noise.

I listened intently. Whether it was 1 presentiment or not. I don't know, 1 fell sure at once that something in adtul was coming. It did. I ve made np my mind, Will," from K'loW, "Weil, to do what?" as yon said.

Shooting is the She'll die instantly, you know, I won't have any morbid farewells to go through. I don't feel rjp to such a thing have never had any oractice in just that line." "Horrible:" I thought. "People do iot generally get any practice at mur-li'iiiig their mothers." "1 in going to do it now, too. I've over it a dreadful while, and am going to have it over by mid- iirht. Then Ml breathe more freely.

iiere will be nothing left but the and after that I can rest." "All right: go at it." This from one. "Do it up brown. I'll help you the money." 1 coido stand it no longer. "Eliza!" I shrieked; "there's murder -iug on in this house! Get up!" I simply flew up. In one minute I i.id thrown f-a my clothes.

Eliza tried hold me. but I flung her off. I ex-c'ted to hear the sound of a pistol hot before I could get down stairs. i went down three steps at a time.
