Old Osborn's Murder.
BY MAUV KYLU I1AI.MS.
Years ago tho Osborne homo was Inhabit
ed by old Daniel Osborne, who had lost his
wife and daughter, and was not on good
terms with his son.
- He was nJt very sociable usually, though
he was always civil, but whenever ho saw
Jargaret Archer pass ho used to co to his
gale to speak to licr, .and 'often gave licr
don era -from his garden .or fruit from his
orchard.
lie was scyeuty- and alio was eighteen,
atid as oyery oiio belleveil.engagcd to young
.Icromo.'UaitDn.
But' ho "had "gone to the city to" take a
situation of somo sort, and alio had looked
a little sad for a long while.
Sho went from house to house making
dresses, and lived with an old aunt.
When the old aunt died sho was alone, and
ono day to the astonishment of all Old Mill
alio walked oyer to tho parsonage with old
Daniel Osborno and there was married to
him.
Tho news catno with a shock to Jerome
lUrton. At flrat a fury posseased him.
Then bo began to reflect that ho had never
apoken plainly to Margaret, but' he be
lieved alio know his Intentions. Ho was
working hard to make a- home for her.
They ha"d "kept company," as they called
it In Old M, for several years. lie felt
that sho had jilted him as entirely as If
they had exchanged yows of betrothal, Ho
was wretched, and mado moreso by the
fact that old Daniel's son, Maurice, rayed
continually of Margaret's .marriage, and
called her cyery coarso name ho could
think of. Ilia father had only dono It to
spltu him, ho said. Ho would noj. bo ablo
to leave his fottuno to hla wife; and that
was what sho had planned, for no girl of
eighteen could glyo her heart to an old
man.
He went down to Old Mill, raved at his
father, quarreled with hint afresh, and
came back to report that all the neighbor
hood was talking against Margaret as a de
signing ana contemptible creature. Mean
while Margiret, If not joyous, seemed con
tent. So did old. Osborne. It was re
ported that ho had mado his will, cutting
off his son with the proverbial shilling, and
leaying every penny to Jiargarot, his sec
ond wife, with certain' provisions in case of
a family.
And, Indeed, It was not a year before a
child camo a pretty boy Margaret re
joiced In him. '
The neighbors had forgiven her by this
time: they went to see the child, and at
tended Its christening; but jVaurice, Its
half-brother, neither came nor was sent
for. His desk was next to that of Jcromo
Barton In the great counting-house, where
they worked side by sldo; and. his ravings
brought back tho old pain to Jerome's
heart.
"A mother! Margaret the mother of an
other man's child." Ills heart was eoro
within him as ho said this to himself.
"I shall go away, get a place as a super
cargo on an ocean steamer I know off,"
Maurice said, "and stay abroad when I get
there. I couldn't pay my passage. Think
of rich Osborne's son in that plight. I get
my live and twenty a week. What Is that
for nle? rich Osborne's son. i'y mother
was a good wife to hlui; and yet he has
never been kind to inc.
Maurice did not speak of the thousand
acts of disobedience which had weaned tho
old man from hi in, or perhaps lie would
not hayo had so much sympathy.
Tho father had been generous to the ton
untll'ho discovered that ho was robbing
him, then ho found him a situation, and
bado hint depend In the futuro on his own
resources.
However, Maurice rayed and at last threw
up his position, and bade good-bye to his
friends, as he declared, forever.
"I can't stay .in the same country with
that woman who has bewitched my father
In his dotage." he said. "I wonder my
mother does not haunt her. She's bud,
bad to the core. .Dad will repent this,
llliy, she is counting tho days until his.
death. That is what the old man gets for
making a fool of himself. She may kill
him for all 1 know."
"iottaro sajlng too mue, Jntiiico,ti
Ilarton said when ho catno to that.
'.'Daro you tako her part?" said Maurice.
"Sho jilted yon, a young fellow fit for a
girl to marry, for poor old dad In his dot
age, bald as an apple, and with a nose and
chin that meet. Why, It Is degrading to
both. I liayo a namo for a woman that
docs that, that, I suppose, It would not do
to mention. It Is the right name, too, for
any woman that sells herself, I believe. In
this caso tho buyerwlll liavo a ball bargain."
Theso were tho last words that Jerome
eyer heard Mautlcc speak.
It was a fow weeks later that Jcromo
suddenly met Margaret-lu the city streets.
Ho. had fancied that he had control of him
self, but now hla wrath blared up afresh
as she stopped and held out her hand to
h(m with a' placid greeting.
'What stuff do you think mo mado of?"
ho cried. "I wonder you do not blush to
look at mo, after using mo as you did. You
know I thought you loved me; you knew I
considered you engaged to mo; and now I
am to forget all that, I who have suffered
so oh, good heavens because you have
sold yourself for money."
"Jerome," cried Margaret, turning pale.
She could say no moro fora moment, then
her courago returned.
"Iam married now," sho said: "it Is
wrong to speak to mo In that way, hut Jer
ome, I I never knew It. I thought you
had forgotten that you considered it only
a flirtation. You said nothing a friend
might not have said, and I had "my aunt to
care for. I thought you remembered that.
I tried to forget you, and my cood Daniel
was very kind to mo. I said to myself ht
least I can make bis home happier, and I
was weary with tho struggle" of life, no
offered me rest. I did not guess you loved
me; that would have made me strong. It
U over now It Is past. I should not say

suffered also, take the balm. Good
bye."
Sho gavo him a look ho never forgot and
sped away from hlin. He followed her and
caught up with her. 1
I seo It now," ho said, "I comprehend
that you thought me. falso to you. I will
say no word a man should not say to an
other mail's wife, but If Clod eyer sets you
free "
Hush hush I" she crlcd.topplng her
ears. "Prce of my good mnici. iittsn."
A step came past behind them.
"I saw you from tho window yonder,"
said Daniel Osborne's voice. "I knew you
would pass on your way to the cars. Good-
day, Jfr. Ilarton."
He took his wife's arm In his. When
they wcro out of earshot ho said coldly:
"I never saw you so theatrical In jour
gestures before, Margaret; not exactly be
coming, either something of an exhibi
tion. And do you know, I heard ono of
the men say to another:
" 'Thcro's old Osborne's wife and that
fellow she used to' flirt with.' r s '
Did you ltlrt with him? Well; as -I girl
I suppose you did; but it. Is not the thing
now." ' ""
Margaret, with her heart torn and a con
sciousness that a new sorrow had forced
Itself Into her life, could say no word; and
the old man was displeased.
Dcy hey had dey'ro fusfquawl," said
old aunt Jenny to her husband, Undo
1)111, as sho returned to tho kitchen aftct
serving supper. "Dey looks like It any
way."
And that night the old man .sent his wife
away from lilm lo sleep In a room wheio
the baby's crying would not disturb lilm.'
'At my age," ho said, "I need sleep.'"
Hut the truth was that ho was still angry
with Margarut, and she know It. Aunt
Jenny, who was called upon to make up
tho bed, understood this also. "Don' yer
mind ole mars, missus." she said as sho
beat up the pillows. "He's always had do
debbil's own temper senco I lenowed lilm."
Earlynext morning Jenny arose and went
slowly down stairs with her slippers flap
pluc behind her. The door of her master's
room stood wide open. She looked In,' ut
tered an awful-shriek and Hew down the
corridor to the room Margaret had occu
pied. Tho door was locked. '
'Missus!" sho shrieked, be.itiiig,agalnst
It. "Missus!"
In a moment Margaret lu her white robes
Hung the doors open.
"Olo mars missus, he's dead," cried
Jenny. "Dead,. murdered! lyin' m do bod,
all soaked lu his blood. Mttrdeied, missus,
murdered, murdeiedl"
And Margaret fell to the lloor In a
swoon,
It was murder, not suicide, as tome
thought; and the wholu villagn was astir
within the hour, and flocking to the, place.
It was. a strange murder enough, with no
robbeiy to accouut for it. A window was
open, to bo sure, but old Daniel Osborno
often left It so.
The watch-dog had not barked, or 11111
and Jenny would hayu heard lilm. And
by degrees a horrible' suspicion, tho seeds
of which had been sowed by Maurico Os
borno's words, awakened and grew strong.
Tho coroner's jury, was impressed by It.
At tho funeral people shruuk from the
young wlfo In horror, and at its close sho
was arrested, charged with tho awful crime
of her husband's murder.
That scene In the street had seyer.il wit
nesses, tiki quarrel oi me nigm ueiore
was known.
The weapon that had been nsod was
Daniel OsbornoVs pwn razor, with which he
had been wounded as no man could wound
himself.
Tho popular feeling was strong against
poor Margaret. Circumstantial ovldence
accumulated. "She was sentenced to death,
and tho scnteuco was received with ap
plauso by those who had been her neigh
bors from tho day of her birth.
"Maurice Osborno prophesied It," every
ono declared. "He knew her."
And so the days went on, and brought
nearer and nearer tho awful ono on which
tho unhappy woman was to meet an Igno
minious death, and In all tho world no hu
man beitig believed In her Innocence bu.
Jerome Uarton. "I wilt save her," he re.
pealed to himself "I must savo her but
how? He dared not even goto her In the
prison, knowing that his namo had been
coupled with hers, and that his yislt
would do her further Injury In tho minds ot
the people.
He used to walk about the street at night
unablo to sleep. Ho could find no ono
willing even to Join him in asking for a re-
prlovo for Margaret, and tho day was close
at handlwhen all would he over. "
Ono night ho wandered through tho city,
feeling that ho was going mad; whan sud
denly ho saw a red light gleam from tho
open door of a low Chlncao restaurant, And
vanish as a man staggered Into the street.
The night was bright, nnd ho saw a face
he know. It was that of Maurice Oaborne,
worn and wretched Maurice, who was
supposeil to boflbroad. And on tho instant
ho saw, or seemed (o see, tho flgnro of tho
murdered man at his son's side.
It vanished, Perhaps It was lieyer there,
save in his excited fancy ;ljut It left him
feeling that tho Bcenc was rcycahd.

"Murder!" hosaid;thcn stopped; shocked
at tho thought that ho had no proof of what
he said, and was acting Hko n madman.
But the word of which ho so Instantly re
pented was spoken and had had Its clTcct.
"1 know it would come," said Maurice
In a broken yolco. "I'm almost glad. Life
is worthless now. Slnco I did It I have
been a.nllscrablo wrfctcb. I want to die. I
reckon that that means sleep. I am tn tor

follows mo all night. I sec It over my
shoulder now."
Ho uttered a shriek and fell forwaid In a
lit. After that all was easy; ho did not live
to meet his doom upon tho scaffold, bu
died In jail.
Kemorscful and pitiful, as all tho world
was now to her, Margaret could not endure
tho old place, when she was now freo tojro
turn to It. In her widow's weeds sho left
It and dwelt afar with her boy.
Tho properly was his, but for herself sho
would tako only what was necessary for
welfare.
"Life has nothing more for me," sho
said.

A LOVEE'S DESPAIR.
A grastly way of departing this life has
been tried by an Englishman, who lately
arrived in a small hotel on tho' liouleyanl
Magenta, in Paris. Tho man had been for
some time in tho house, and It was noticed
by everybody with whom ho came In con
tact there that he was subject to fits of
melancholy and depression. Ono morning
ho told tho landlady he was going away
from Paris for some days, and that thero
was no occasion to clean his room until ho
camo back. After tills the man must have
gono stealthily and unnoticed back to his
room, for on the day following one of tho
servants of the hotel went Into the placo t
sweep It, and on opening tho door tho first
objoct that attracted his attention was a
pug traveling trunk lying in tho middle of
tho floor. As It was unnlngell and unlock
ed the servant raised Its coyer, and started
back half-dazed with terror, as sho saw in-
sldo it the apparently lifeless body of tho
Englishman, clothed in evening dress,
white tie, wlntu gloves and all. Tho body
was still warm, and near it was a phial
which had contained choroforui, and a let
ter In English. Thanks to the skill of tho
doctor who was called ln,the strauger was
restored to'life, but ho only upbraided his
Ilcsunoctlonlsts" for bringing hlmback
to a world from which ho had longed to
escape.
It appears that thero was a woman In It.
Tho stranger had been thrown oyer by
somo "light o' lovo" for whom ho had
pined, as the letter was worded lu the
following terms: "Sho has left me. lean
no longer live. Let her have mxlastslgh!''
