Better Than llo Deserved. 'Anna looked beseechingly at Frank. The time Oiud come when, if he could render any service, he could exact a heavy price. Not that the girl was con vinced of her lover's RUllt. ' Far from it. But she was thoroughly frightened, and a frightened woman will take. any help that offers. Behind Mulligan's back Frank formed the word "wait" with his lips. Maxwell was pule, but he showed lit tle feur. "Wouldn't It be a good idea to mea sure my rubbers; they'.re in the hall,!' he Bald. "Excellent," said the detective; and he went to get them. lie measured them carefully. "They're not the ones," he said at last. "The others were wider. I congratulate you. "v Anna had tuken Maxwell's hand, and had thrown one of ilier arms over his shoulder. As the detective turned away to replace the rubbers in the hull, the girl drew down her lover's head, anil kissed his lips. Ames trembled with jealousy, but the next lnstunt he recovered himself, and darted a sudden, meaning glance at Anna. Then he took Maxwell's hand. "I am heartily glad of this favoroble turn In your affairs," he suld. "It has been an awful strain upon us all. For my part I am quite worn out. I um going home. Good night. And good night to you, Mr. Mulligan." The detective had Just re-entered the room. Anna accompanied Frank into the hall. "Keep them here half an hour, at all hazards; and remember your promise," he whispered. "I tell you the man's lost unless I save him." lie left the house. Anna, terribly agitated by his last words, returned to the parlor, and tried to carry out his In structions. But for some reason which 'What Have You Got Under Your Coat?" she could not understand, the detective was determined to thwart her plans. He succeeded in getting Maxwell away from the house some minutes within the 'time which Frank had set. They went to the doctor's house. No one lived there but Maxwell and an old woman who acted as his housekeeper. The detective insisted upon going in. He said that he had urgent matters to discuss which he had not dared to men tion before Anna. They entered together. There was only a dim light In the hall, but, it was enough to reveal to the keen eyes of the detective the form of Frank Ames, who seemed to have been descending the stairs Just as they came in, and also en deavored to avoid being seen by dart ing into the unlighted parlor. The detective followed him, striking a match as he did so. He lighted the lamps on the table and turned to Ames. "Good evening, again, Mr. Ames," he said, cheerfully. "I didn't expect to see you so soon. "I came to have a talk with Robert," responded Ames; "and I'll tell you frankly that I didn't want you to know anything about It." "Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Ames," Mulligan replied, "and still more sorry to ask embarrassing questions. What have you gof Under your overcoat?" "The remainder of my clothing and most of my body," rejoined Ames; "but I don't know that It's any of your busi ness." With a movement as quick es a flash, and doubly surprising because of the man's slow and somewhat indolent mannorL the lntedtlve rsprnng upon Ames and wrested his overcoat open. A pair, of rubbers fell to the floor. Mulligan seized them and measured them with the minutest care. "Where did you get these?" he de manded. Ames sank into a chair. He rolled tils eyes appeallngly toward Maxwell, who said not a word. He seemed to be etrlcken dumb. "It's all over. Bob," groaned Amos. "I did my best for you for her wake." "Pretty shrewd work, Mr. Ames, but very dangerous," said the detective. "It's a crime, you know. You guessed he'd have the right paJr of rubbers in his house and you came to get them. .Very good; where are they?" "In a closet in his bedroom upstairs." "Well, this completes the case. I ar rest you, Robert Maxwell, for the mur der of Charlotte Warren." Ten minutes later, Frank Ames paused for a moment before the house f Itev. Eliot Warren. The lower pnrt of the house was dark, but there was a light In a Window of the second story, and, as he looked, a shadow., passed across the curtain. "Shall I;wln'her?" he murmured. "Is it possible that my life Is to be worth something after all?" It couldn't have been a very happy life to look back upon, for he shuddered, as he turned away. ; At ten) o'clock the njext .monnlnff, Frank Ames received a message from Dr. Maxwell, earnestly requesting him to come to the doctor's. 'house. He lost no time In complying. . The physic-Inn and the detective sat together. Both were -smoking, and both very much .at their ease. There was little to indicate that they were prisoner and warden, except the extremely Incongruous addi tion of a large revolver to the articles THE Narrou) Hods? FIELDING. of luxury with which a little smoking table at the detective's right hand was laden. "Dr. Maxweil wished to speak to you," or rather he wishes me to do so. You have done the beBt you could to atave off the 'inevitable, and . you' have other claims which entitle you to be the first one to hear the extraordinary history of this crime which will now be laid before you. In the first place, your brother's body has been found again." "Where is it?" ' "In the back room of Cnpt. Henry Thompson's undertaking shop where It was taken by the captain at my direc tion last night. You see I was strictly within the facts when I said I did not remove it. "Here is another fact: Of course, it seemed probable when the body was found in this town, that it had reached here in that coilin, but that Is not rue. Medical examination has shown that Edward Ames has not been dead more than forty-eight hours. "Fact No. 3 The mysterious person who conveyed the body to the old Max well house has been found, und lr. Maxwell is not the man. The man's name was Ames." "What?" "Edward Ames. In short, he walked there. Those rubbers were his. There Is no possible question about It. The prints of nails In his shoes are to be dis cerned on the inside of the rubbers. Now how did this extraordinary thing happen? Why there can't be two ex planations. When a dying man goes to a doctor's house why does he do it? Because he knows he'll die if he doesn't get treatment. You see Ned Ames didn't know- that DZ 'Maxwell had moved. He went there to throw himself on the doctor's mercy, and ask his help. I'd like to see you find any other expla nation. "Perhaps you'll say that he might have been simply seeking shelter. That won't answer, lie had shelter, and I know it. I worked Horace Kiddle's tip down to that. He saw Eddie in the woods. Now, a man can't live outdoors In Maine at this season of the year. Knowing that obvious fact, I asked my self, and also several other people who were beter informed, what shelter there was In those woods. And I learned about that hut of spruce logs which you and your brother built so long ago, but built so well that It's weather-proof yet. "I went there and found traces of Eddie, but I didn't find him. Then I came back to town, and on my way it was then evening, for I had waited sonic time in the hut I happened to Bee you coming out of the old Maxwell house. Then I went in, and you know what I found. In the first place, that you'd en tered by an upstairs window, which was wholly unnecessary, for the lock of the fiont door had been picked. Ily whom? Why, a child could answer that ques tion. Your brother was an adept at picking locks. "Why did he do It? Because he'd rung the bell and failed to And anybody. He must have supposed that Dr. Max well was out. He couldn't wait out there in the snow. It was then ten o'clock of Thursday night. I know that by the condition of his foot-print In the substratum which was then forming In to ice. He preferred to wait for the doctor inside. He picked the lock; got into the hall; fell on the floor and died there. "You see he'd been sick of diphtheria In Boston. He was getting a little the best of it when he had to skip. The ex ertion and exposure were too much for him. . He was dying In that hut In the woods and he knew it. "Now, then, if he died in the hall, as the marks In the dust show me, how did his body get Into the cellar? Why, you carried it there. Nobody else could have done It. Nobody else had any' motive. Your motive was to throw suspicion on Dr. Maxwell. How did you know that NEW YORK CITY MERCHANT. HOW HIS LIFE WAS SAVED. From the New York Catholic News.' No one would think to look nt Rich ard B. Brown a commission merchant, of No. 206 Washington streit, !New York city, that for six weeks he had suffered In ngony In his bed and that physicians had said,lt was Impossible lor mm to regain nis neaitn. But now he Is bnck In his office, vig orous and hearty. He regards Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy as the savior of his life. The story Mr. Brown tells Is remarkuble: "For several years," said Mr. Brown to a reporter the other day, "I suffered from inflammation and ulceration of the bladder, a most stubborn disease. My family physician was unable to re lieve me. At the advice of friends I consulted specialists, and they all failed to do me any good. All this time I was growing worse. My capacity for work deserted me, and at last I whs compelled to take to my bed. "My mother-in-law had heard of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and she asked me to give It a trial. I had been confined to my bed for five weeks and I admit that I didn't think there was much chance of getting out of It. Well, I tried Favorite Remedy. There seemed to be a change that surprised me. In n week I wns able to get out of bed and go around the house, and In a short time I recovered completely. Today I'm as well as ever and what's better yet I feel that I am permanently cured. can work .sixteen or eighteen hours a day now and not be broken up a bit To Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Is all the credit due." Favorite Remedy ranks, with the medical profession) us the most perfect of all blood and nerve medicines. It restores the liver to a healthy contll tlon, and cures the worst cases of con stipation. It Is a" certain cure for all diseases, peculiar to females, and af fords great protection from attacks thnt originate In change of life. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, rheumatism, dys pepsia, all kidney, bladder and urinary diseases, gravel, diabetes and Brlght's disease. In this last disease It has cured whers all else failed. Any druggist can sup ply It ait one dollar a bottle. Eddie was In that house? Why, he must have left a message in. some se cret cranny of that old log hut.- You went there. The snow tells me that. "Now, we've cleared your brother's case all up. He didn't murder the girl because he was too sick to raise a hand against her. "Don't you dare to move or open) your mouth, Frank Ames, till I get through with you. I'm a good, quick shot, and you're fair game. "It was a ultck trick, taking his rub bers off, and slicker still to bring them here, and wait for us to catch you with them. Now, of course all this clears Dr. Maxwell, and if it does what be comes of you? Why, you're my prison er, that's all. Now, perhaps you won der why I arrested the doctor last night. Well, I did it so that you'd keep quiet and give me' a little more lme. "By he way, I've had some slight tips from Boston this morning, and I made up my mind who was the head of the thieves' gang to which your brother be longed. You were the man. I've also found out where that poor girl lived in Boston; and a man who looke'd very much like you used to visit her. "Knowing all these things, It Is easy enough to see what happened to her down here. But what did she come here for? That's the only point that Isn't clear. Of course, I can guess at it, but I'd like cold facts, and for that rea son I'll make a bargain with you. You'll lie Wus Dead before lie Touched the floor. remember the I.ynde street Job In Bos ton. Well, they hang folks In Massa chusetts and they don't In Maine. You tell me all about this case, and I give you my word of honor that I'll let you be tried here, instead of taking you buck. Is tl a bargain?" Frank Ames' white lips moved, but no words came from them. "Doctor," said the detective, "have you a drop of brandy? It'll do him good." The wretch swallowed the spirits greedily and revived somewhat. "It's a bargain," he said, "though I deny that Lynde street job. But I'm dont' up. There Is no hope for me, and I might as well speak out, for at least I wish to deny that I mean to murder that poor g'lrl. "You ure light In all that you have said. It was 1 to whom she fled. She thought It was simply a secret mar riage. I deceived her by the usual sto ries. I had another wife living and Charlotte found It out too late. She was afraid to come home then. Let me pass over all that. Her story Is too common, I suppose. Of course 1 wearied of her, but I would have provided for her always, and would have kept her near me, iif I had not learned to love her sister. That was two years ago, and from that moment I schemed to be lid of Charlotte. "She was wholly under my Influence. I Intended to use her to break Maxwell's engagement with Anna. My plan was to have Charlotte come home and refuse to tell her story. Then I would have thrown ithe blame on Maxwell. "It suited my convenience to bring her here when I sprung that plot to save my brother from arrest. Charlotte came by means which I provided. She went to her father's house, and looked In upon him through the window. She could not, bear to face him. She re turned to me nt my father's house. I feared what she would do, und so I drugged my father lest he should see her. "When she came back I took her to the room where lay the coffin. I had re moved my father in his stuior to an other room. Charlotte and I quarreled. I tried to force her to carry out her In tention of going to her father, and somehow I don't know how I let her ste the real secret, that 1 loved Anna. Anna. "Her wrath was terrible. In an In stant she would have alarmed the house. I sprang upon her to stifle her screams for I knew she would scream In a second. She fell with my weight against her, and her head struck one of the heavy metal handles of the coffin. I had no Idea that she was much hurt. My horror and remorse were terrible when I found that she was dead. "Then the scheme of hiding the body came to me. I wrenched open the coflln; 1 took out the paper books with which It was weighted and burned then! In the fire; I put her body In and closed the coilin as best I could. That is the whole story. Do you believe me?" "I do." said Mulligan, "and I will keep my word. My cuiiosoty, I think, has saved your neck. Is there anything more, Dr. Maxwell?" "Nothing. May I go to Anna now? I must have her help In breaking the news to this wretched creature's pa rents." "My mother's! boyond 'knowing It, thank God," Bald Ames. As for my fa ther, he Is a man of Iron. He can bear anything." He spoke so calmly that even the ex perienced detective wus deceived, and believed that this was the confession of a despairing and beaten man. But Frank Ames was not (hat kind of a man, by any meuns. He was watch ing his chunce. As Maxwell turned to leave the room the detective's atten tion wns distracted for a moment. It was time enough for the desperate criminal. In a flash he had leaped upon Mulli gan, and had got his hands upon the revolver. There wnB a struggle, violent, but so 'brief that before Maxwell could Interfere It was over. Ames had Becured possession of the . revolver; he had pulled the trigger Intending to send a bullet through bis adversary's heart. But the detcctlve'squlckness saved him. He struck up the barrel of his pistol. The weapon was discharged In an al most perpendlculur position, and the bullet, striking the murderer under the chin, passed entirely through his head. He was dead before his body touched the floor. ' "Which was better than he deserved," obsorved Detective Mulligan, In relat ing this adventure to the present writer. (TJie End.) For a Hussion Cnnnl.

Max O'Kell Says Clever Things About Iter, but Admits That She H the In. crowned Queen of Creation. Sly 'Max O'Rell, who Is Just now lec turing In the west, realizes the im portance of having the women on tils side. Below are some of his choicest recent compliments to the sex: "A Frenchman views the sex as some thing apart. We regard women as be ings greatly superior to ourselves which they are not. It Is all a matter of education. Our boys do not grow up with our girls as In America. To the young Frenchman his sweetheart is an object of mystery and reverence. And it should be so. Men's ideals should be something extraordinary,, apart from everyday life and clothed In mys tery. "The Frenchman's Ideal Is his wife. In France woman Is a queen. Her em pire over her children Is perfect; she leads her husband in whatevt-r path the chooses, and whatever path she chooses is the' right path. And her husband likes It because he doesn't know ihe is being led. The politics of matrimony Is a science inborn In our women. They know that love lives on stupid bits of trifles. Men have said that matrimony kills .poetry. They are fools. There Is no poetry out of matri mony. Knglfsh Women Huve Big Feet. "The womeid of France are the stabil ity of Its wealth. Thpy are their hus bands' business partners and the finan ciers of every successful firm. When they become widows they can take care of themselves and. they do so. French women are not frivolous, as has been said. Because they make home attrac tive Is no sign they think of nothing else. French women are beautiful with a beauty of their own. But the English women! How different. The English women have fresh complexions and stately figures, a confident carriage and big feet. When the English wo man is beautiful her 'beauty Is incom parable, title Is an angel of beauty. But when she Is ugly "In France we men are the slaves of our womankind, but not such slaves as are Americans. The American works and works and works and the beads of sweat upon his brow crystallze into diamonds with which he decks his wo mankind. The Frenchman's thraldom Is threefold. His queens are his moth er, his wife and his daughter, but he rebels at his mother-in-law. If there are any young men here tonight con templuting matrimony and his mother In-law Is contemplating living with him, let me advise him not to hesitate between matrimony and suicide get married, shoot the mother-in-law." As to Mrs. Jonathan. After a five-minute interval the lec turer turned his attention to "Mrs. Jonathan." "It has been said that the typical American does not exist," he said, "but with me the impression has grown to a conviction that the typical American woman Is a delightful and absolute fact. Her brilliancy in con versation, the anima tion of her features, the absence of affectation in her per feet manners, make her unique. No other woman compares with her In the beauty of her person and in her Intel lectual beauty. She Is the first woman in the world, and with no other woman Is a man so completely at his ease. "There Is a total absence of stupid faces In America that Is a treat to Europeans especially those who have had the misfortune to spend much time in England. You are not all beautiful, but you are all Intelligent looking. The American girl is allowed almost every liberty and she takes the rest. When I told my friends at home that Ameri can girls of 17 are allowed to go to thea ters and late suppers alone with young men and let themselves into the house when they get 'home with their own latch keys, they said: 'Is It possible?' And I replied: 'I don't know, but the girls can." "Ah! my friends, the lovely thing about you Americans Is the respect that woman Inspires In every class. And let us remember that there are few men ii every eounlry who are good enough for the women. And woman will continue to rule our iheads and hearts so lone ns the word is synony mous with beauty and tenderness and sweetness and devotion and that will be forever," Germicidal Properties of Coffee. Coffee has been found by a German In vestigator to possess marked germicidal properties.

Mr. Glenn H. Todd., 136 Munaon street, Astoria, iys; "I had a very il.strt sslng case of catarrh, which grew rapidly worse, in spite of so-called spe cial treatment, and made me quite deaf. A'ter taking Munyon's Catarrh Reme dies 1 was completely cured of all my catarrhal troubles and my hearing re stored." Mrs. Marlon Oiahani,' 295 East Sev enth street, says: "I have suffered very greatly from rheumatism: my feet were sj sore and swollen, that I could scarce ly walk. I also hud am obstinate kidney trouble that doctors failed to cure. Munyon's Remedies cured me com pletely of my rheumatism and kidney disease. A friend living In my house, who Is over 60 years old, was also cured of rheumatism by Munyon's Rheuma tism Cure. Professor Munyon's Reme dies act so promptly that I have great faith dn thtiir ability to cure the most ob?Una te cases, no matter what the dis ease may be."
