THE SCEAOTON TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1895.

CSIA1PTEIR H-Jf HE KNOT OF RIB
BON. I think I mu have fainted away; for
presently I found myself upon the floor,
and for a minute I could not remember
what had happened. Then I remem
bered that I had seen my father! mur
dered body on. the bed; and an awful
unreasoning' terror seized me. "I must
lock all the doors quick." I thought,
"quick, or the murderer will come
backr I tried to get up. but I could
not stand. I sank down again. I had
to crawl out of the room on my hands
and knees.
I went first to the front door. It was
locked with a key and a bolt. I went
neat to the north door, and that was
locked with a key and a bolt. I went
to the north shed door, and that was
( "Fsther Is Murdered ia Bed."
bolted. Then I went to the little-used
- east door in the shed, beside which the
. cat has her little passageway, and that
was fastened with an Iron hook. It has
no latch.
The whole house was fastened on the
Inside. The thought struck me like an
Icy hand. "The murderer la In this
house!" I rose to my feet then; I un
hooked that door and ran out of the
house and out of the yard, as for my
life.
I took the road to the village. The
first house, where Phoebe Dole and
Alarla Woods lived, is across a wide
field from ours. I did not Intend to
top there, for they were only women
and. could do nothing; but seeing
Phoebe looking out of the window 1
ran Into the yard. She opened the win
dow. "What Is It?" salishe. . "What Is the
matter, Sarah Fairbanks?"
Maria Woods came and leaned over
her shoulder. Her face looked almo'
as white as her white ihalr, and hei
blue eyes were dilated. My face mus
have frightened her.
"Father father Is murdered In hi.
hen!" I said.
There was a scream, and Maria
Woods' face disappeared from over
Phoebe Dole's houlder-he had faint
ed. I don'l know whether Phoebe
looked paler-she Is always very pale
but I saw In her black eyes a look I
hall never forget. I think she began
to suspect me at that moment.
-h- .rIanwd back at Mari. but
Zl m nohr Question. "Has
WTd' Wlth nlody?" ld she.
"Only wlthRufus," I said, "but Ru
th! JES Ve turned r from
the window to attend .to Maria, and I
ran on to the village.
A hundred people can testify what I
did next-can tell how I called for the
doctor and the deputy sheriff; how I
went back to my home with the hor-tor-strlckenwowd;
how they flocked In
and looked at poor father-tout only the
doctor touched him- very carefully, to
ee If he were quite dead; how the cor
oner came, and all the rest.
The pistol was in the bed beside
father, but It had not been flred; the
charge was still in the barrel. It was
blood-stained, and there was one bruise
on father's head which might have been
Inflicted by the pistol, used as a club.
But the wound which caused his death
was In his breast, and made evidently
ty some cutting Instrument,, though the
cut was. not a clean one; the weapon
must have been dull.
They searched the house, lest the mur
derer should be hidden away. I heard
fRufus Bennett's name whispered by
one and another. Everybody seemed to
know that he and father had had words
the nlghtbefore; I could not understand
how, because I had told nobody except
Phoebe Dole, who had had no time to
spread the news, and I was sure that no
one else had spoken of It.
They looked in the closet where my,
green silk dress hung, and pushed It
aside, to be sure nobody was concealed
behind tt; but they did not notice any
thing wrong about It It was dark In
the closet, and besides, they did not
look for anything like that until later.
All these people the deputy sheriff,
and afterwards the high sheriff and
, other out-of-town' officers for whom
they had sent, and the nelghtbors-o.ll
hunted their own suspicion, and that
was Rufua Bennett All believed that
he had come back and killed my father.
They fitted all the facta to that belief.
They made him do the deed with a
long, slender screwdriver which he had
recently borrowed from one of the
neighbors and had not returned. They
made his finger-marks, which were still
on my father's throat, fit the red prints
on the sitting-room door. ' They made
sure that he had returned and stolen
Into the house by the east shed door,
while father and I sat on the doorsteps
the evening before; that he had hidden
; away, perhaps In that very closet where
. my dress hung, and afterwards stolen
out and killed my father and then a-
, caped. .
(They :were not shaken when I told
them that every door was bolted and
barred that morning. They themselves
found all the windows fastened down,
except a few which were open on ac-
.- count of the heat, and even these last
were, raised only the width of a sash,
and fastened with sticks, so that they
.. could be raised no higher. Father was
, very cautious about fastening the
: house, for he sometimes had consider
able sums of money by him. The offl-
-cera. saw all these difficulties In the
way, but they fitted them somehow to
their theory, and two deputy sheriff s
were at once sent to apprehend Rufus.
.They had not begun- to suspect me
then," and hot the slightest watoh was
Irrlng Bacbellar).
kept on) my movements. The neighbors
were very kind, and did everything to
help me, relieving me altogether of all
those last offices in this case much
sadder than usual.
An inquest was held, and I told freely
all I knew, except about the blood
stains on my dress. I hardly knew why
I kept that back. I had no feeling then
that I might have done the deed my
self, and I could not (bear to convict
myself, if I was Innocent
Two of the neighbors, Mrs. Holmes
and Mrs. Adams, remained with me all
that day. Toward evening, when there
were very few In the house, they went
Into the parlor to put it in order for
the funeral, and I eat down alone In
the kitchen. As I sat there by the
window I thought of my green silk
dress, and wondered If the stains were
out. I went to the closet and brought
the dress out to the light. The spots
and streaks had almost disappeared.
I took the dress out In the shed and
scraped oft the flour paste, which was
quite dry; I swept up the paste, burned
it In the stove, took the dress upstairs
to my own closet, and hung it In its old
place. Neighbors remained with me all
night
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon of the
next day. which was Thursday, I went
over to Pheobe Dole's to see about a
black dress to wear to the funeral.
The neighbors had urged me to have
my black silk dress altered a little and
trimmed with crape.
I found only Maria Woods at home.
When she saw me she gave a little
scream and began to cry. She looked
as If she had already been weeping for
hours. Her blue eyes were bloodshot.
"Phoebe's gone over to Mrs. Whit
ney's to try on her dress," ehe sobbed.
"I want to get my black silk dress
fixed a little," said I.
"She'll be home pretty soon," said
Maria.
I laid my dress on the sofa and sat
down. Nobody ever consults Maris
about a dress. She sews well, but
Phoebe does all the planning.
Maria Woods continued to sob like a
child, holding her little soaked hand
kerchief over her face. Her shoulders
heaved. As for me I felt like a stons;
I could not weep.
"Oh," she gasped out Anally, "I knew,
I knew! I told Phoebe I knew Just
how It would be; I knew!"
I roused myself at that. "What do
you mean? said I. '
"When Phoebe came home Tuesday
night and saM she heard your father
and Rufus Bennett having words, I
Knew how It would be," she ohoked out.
I knew he had a dreadful temper."
"Did Phoebe Dole know Tuesday
night that father and 'Rufus Bennett
had words?" said I.
"Tea," said Alarla Woods.
"How did she know?"
"She was going through your yard,
:he short cut to Mrs. Ormsby's, to carry
rier brown alpaca dress home. She
.am riirht home and told me; and she
'. overheard them."
"Have you spoken of tt to anyooay
but me?" said I.
Maria said she didn't know; she
might have done so. Then she remem
bered hearing Phoebe herself speak of
it to Harriet Sargent when she came
In to try on her dress. ' It was easy to
see how people knew about it.
r did nnt brv any more, but I thought
H was strange that Phoebe Dole hadj

anybody when ehe knew It all the time.
Phoebe came In before long. I tried
on my dress, and she made her plan
about the alterations and the trimming.
I made no suggestions. I did not care
how It was done, ibut If I had eared H
would have made no difference. Phoebe
always does things her own way. All
the women In this village are In a man
ner under Phoebe Dole's thumb. Their
garments are visible proofs of her force
of will.
While .she was taking up my black
silk on the ehoulder seams, Phoebe
Dole said: "Let me see you had a
green silk dress made at DIgby three
summers ago, didn't you?"
"Yes, I said."
"Well," said she, "why don't you
have It dyed black? Those thin silks
dye real nice. It would make you a
good dress." ,
I scarcely replied, and then she of
fered to' dye tt for me herself. 'She had
a recipe which she had used wkth great
success. I thought It yery kind of her,
but did nbt say whether I would accept
her offer or not. I could not fix my
mind upon anything but the awful
trouble I was In. .
"I'll come over and get It tomorrow
morning," said Phoebe.,
I thanked her. I -though of the
stains, and . then my mind seemed to
wander away again to the one object.
All the time Maria Woods sat weep
ing. Finally Phoebe turned to her with
Impatience... "If you can't keep calm
er, you'd better go upstairs, .Maria,"
said she. "You'll make Sarah sick.
Look at her! ehe doesn't give way and
think of the reason she's got."
"I've got reason, too," 'Maria broke

out; then, with a piteous shriek, "Oh,
I've got reason!"
"Maria Woods, go out of the room!"
said Phoebe. Her sharpness made me
Jump, half dated as I was.
. Maria got up without a word and
went out of the room, bending almoet
double with convulsive sobs.
"She's been dreadful worked up over
your father's death." said Phoebe
calmly, going on with the fitting.
"She's terribly nervous. Sometimes I
have to be real sharp with her, for her
own good."
I nodded. Maria Woods has always
been considered a sweet, weakly, de
pendant woman, and Phoebe Dole is
undoubtedly very fond of her. 'She has
seemed to shield her and take care of
her nearly all her life. The two have
lived together since they were young
girls.
Phoebe is tall and very pale and thin;
but she never has a day's illness. She
Is plain, yet there Is a kind of severe
goodness and faithfulness about her
colorless face, with the smooth bands
of white hair over her ears.
I went home as soon as my dress was
fitted. That evening Henry Ellis came
over to see me. I do not need to go Into
details concern'ng that visit It is
"Maris Woods, Go Out of the Room.'
enough to say that he tendered the full
set sympathy and protection, and I ac
cepted them. I cried a little, for the
first, and he soothed and comforted me.
Henry had driven over from Dlgby
and tied his horse In the yard. At 10
o'clock he bade me good-night on the
doorstep and was just turning his bug
gy around when Mr a. Adams came run
ning: to the door.
"Is this yours?" said she, and she
held out a knot of yellow ribbon.
"Why, that's the ribbon you have
around your whip, Henry," said I.
He looked at it. "So it Is," said he.
"I must have dropped it. He put it
trto his pocket and drove away.
"He didn't drop that ribbon tonight!"
said Mrs. Adams. "I found it Wednes
day morning out In the yard. I thought
I remembered seeing him have a yellow
ribbon on his whip."

NEWS OF OUR INDUSTRIES
llappentafs of Intorcst to the Staple
Trsdes and Particularly to the Trade
ia Iron, Stsol end Anthrseite Coal.
It is stated that there Is a plan to
Induce all the coal-carrying companies,
as well as the Individual operators, to
sign an agreement to maintain prices
as well as to regulate the total output,
and to enforce this agreement U Is
probable that a clause will be Inserted
Imposing a cash penalty for any in
fringement. It Is eald tlhat the iReatflng company
will build an additional breaker at
Brookslde colliery. At present there
are five slopes in operation. The aver
age nurriber of waigcms holdted daily Is
860. This number can 'be Increased to
1,000 oars, with additional machinery
for cleaintng the coal.
On the recommfndaitlon! of Special
Master Crawford the United States cir
cuit court has authorized the Reading
railroad receivers to purchase addition
al equipment to Increase the company's
business. The new equipment ccns-lsita
of 1,000 hopper gondola coail cars, from
the Pullman Pa'Iace Car company, at a
cost of $489.60 each, Involving an ex
penditure of 1489,600.
Greater activity Is reported In the
anthracite line trade and also at New
England points. The buying was stim
ulated by the belief ithat prices, which
are lower this week than last, are close
to, If not at the bottom. Dealers argue
that they run little risk In buying at
present prices and have acted on this
belief. The Reading and Lehigh Valley
both report a heavy movement. of coal,
but admit there Is very little profit in
It for them. Philadelphia Times. .
Chicago, Aug. 4. An . Important
street railway decision was rendered
by Judge Tuley In the suit of the Gen
eral Electric Street railway to com
pel the Chicago Street Railway com
pany to allow the electric company's
cars to run for a short distance over
the Chicago's lines. Judge Tuley de
cided .igalnst the electric company,
holding that the railways are not pub
lic property and can be controlled ex
clusively by the company operating
them.
Washington, Aug. 4. The forthcom
ing review by the geological survey of
the mineral resources of the country
will show that the production of alum
inum In the United States in 1894 was
500,000 pounds. The Imports were val
ued at' $4,110. Bauxite, which Is an oxide
of a'umlnum, has been found In suffi
cient quantity to be commercially valu
able In only three localities In the Unit
ed States. They are New Mexico, Ar
kansas and the Cocas Valley of Georgia
and Alabama. Aluminum, the review
will say, has now found the posttl6n in
the arts predicted for it and the de
mand Is Increasing.
A New Tork dispatch; stated Friday
that "the commrttee appointed by the
Anthracite Coal Operators'' association
at Manhattan Beach recently to tke
action relative to bcittcr.ng the coal
trade, has sent a letter to the presi
dents of the various companies setting
forth .the very deplorable conditions
and contending that those who are re
sponsible should lend their efforts to
a rehabilitation."''. No trace of such a
letter could be found among the local
coal companies,' but a member of the
executive board of the association said
a letter of an entirely different char
acter was being prepared, but beyond
saying tt was to secure certain data for
the board, he declined to Impart any
futher Information. From ', another
source, however, tt wss learned that
there Is strong likelihood af Interest
In developments arising from this let
ter, but for the present,' their oharactsr
