ullan Ralph's Narrow Escape From a Dangerous Situation. Onee, when I was investigating tbe hor rible and even yet mysterious murder of a young girl in a New Jersey village, I waa taken for the murderer by her relatives. whom I could rot blame, for they were ig norant, wrought np to an ugly pitch and usui clous of every stranger wbo came upon the scene. The girl had been buxom and pretty, and yet it must have been a stranger who alew her, they thought, for none who new her could find lt in bis heart or In bis nature to attempt to wrong her. In tbe course of a search of the neighborhood visited tbe home of the afflicted family more than once, and on tha last occasion was Invited in to see tbe body.

As I could not judge what manner of girl she bad been without seeing ber, I went in. Her three) grown np brothers were there, and aa I tood beside the coffin one returned to tha door of the room, closed it and put his back against it. The others then attempted to carry out a project they had cherished, but toncealed, which was to have me touch tha body in order that tbey might aee whether blood flowed from tbe wounds, according as an old superstition holds that such dumb mouths will accuse a murderer. At tbe moment I would not have done aa they wished for a fortune. "Put your hand on her," said one.

"I will not." "Touch her with your hand. You most, tell you," said another. "You cannot get away. Touch her." They were terribly in earnest. "I will do nothing of the sort," Isald, and then I made a very short, but very earnest speech, In which I explained who I was and bow easily tbey could satisfy themselves about me.

"And now," said advancing to the door, "stand aside and end this folly-quickl" He obeyed, and in an Instant the air of outdoors tasted almost aa aweet as any thing that I ever drawdown my sia'h to Scrinnar'av.
