A mj'sterj of long standing was cleared up

early ene Sunday morning, Mrs. Mary
Wentvverth, an attractive jeung woman,
arose from her bed with n bullet biiriid in
her breast, and bleed flowing from the
wound, aud informed the ether occupants el
the tenement that she had been shot by nu
unknown man who had esiaped by the back
deer. Mrs. Wentvverth had net been living
en very geed tonus with her husband. De
was at the time absent, and the outer deer
had been lelt open all night en the strength
el the lollevviug nole, which Mrs. Wentvverth
claimed te have received:
"Di:au Mvm: I am coming home to
night idler dark. Don't tell anjbedy, but
leave the front deer unlocked.

On tlie tlav preceding tlie bring of tlie
mjsterieiis bullet, Mrs. Wentvverth showed
this missive te a neighbor, after whkh she
burned it Hefore Mrs. Wentweith was io ie io
meved te tlie hospital the ellkers arrived,
and she sild that she believed that there
were two icvelvers In the house. One of
them was in a trunk in the back loom and
the ether, she said, she had discovered, te
her surprise, a few davs befere In the bottom
of ene of her rubber beets, "where her hus
band must have put It." This last was a
large we.ien with a white handle. The
rooms were searched and the first pistol was
leuud in the trunk, none et the barrels had
been hred. The weapon with the white
h mdle had disappeared.
Suspicion at ence roll upon tlie husband,
but he succeeded in establishing an alibi.
Mrs. Wentvverth recovered, and, lludhig
that it was Impossible te lhe lengei with her
