CHAPTER VI. -THE REVELATION.
Wednesday, continued. When Mr.
Dix thus 'suggested to me the absurd
possibility that Phoebe Dole had com
milte'l the murder, he and I were sit
ting In the kitchen. He was near the
tati'e: he lad a sheet of paper upoa !t,
and began to write. The paper Is be
fore rie. r
First," slid Mr. Dix. and he wne
as he talked, "whose arm Is of such
lensth that It might unlock and lock
a certain door cf this house from the
ou!.ide? Tlioebe Dries.
"Second, who had In her piece-baa-Nt
of the same tl:rads and ravdlintjs
funm! upon your jaiici lloor, wher; ,li-
had not by your knowledge entered?
Fhoeba Dole.
"Third, who Interested herself most
Strangely In your blood-stained green
silk dress, even to dyeing it? Thoebe
Dole.
"Fourth, who was caught In a He,
while trying to force the guilt of mur
der upon an Innocent man? Phoebe
Dole."
Mr. Dix looked at me.. I had gath
ered myself together. "That proves
nothing." said I. "There la no motive
tn her case."
. "There Is a motive." .
What Is it ?"
"Maria Woods shall tell you this
afternoon.'.'
He then wrote:
"Firth, who was seen to throw a bun
dle down the old well, In the rear of
Martin Fairbanks' house, at 1 o'clock
In the morning? Phoebe Dole."
"Was she seen?" I gasped. Mr. Dix
nodded.. Then he wrote:
"Sixth, who had a fitrong motive,
which had been in existence many
years ago? Phoebe Dole.
Mr. Dix laid down his pen and looked
at me again. "Well, what have you to
say?" he asked.
"It Is Impossible!"
"Why?"
' She Is a woman."
"A man could have f. ed that pistol,
as she tried to do."
"It -would- have taken a man's
strength to kill with the kind of a
weapon that was used." I said.
"No, It would nAt. No greait strength
Is required for such a blow."
"Hut she Is a woman!"
"Crime has no sex."
"But she Is a good woman, a church
member. I heard her pray yesterday
afternoon. It is not in character."
"It is not for ynu, nor for me, nor for
any mortal Intelligence to know what
Is, or Is not In character," said Mr.
Dlv.
He arose and went away. I cou!d
only stare at him in a half dazed man
ner. ;
Maria Woods came this afternoon,
taking advantage of Phoebe's absence
on a dressmaking errand. Maria has
aged ten years In the last few weeks.
Her hair Is white, her cheeks are fallen
In, her pretty color Is gone.
"May I have the ring he gave me
rorty years ago?" she faltered.
I gave It to her: she kissed it, and
sobbed like a child. "Phoebe took It
away from me before," she said, "but
he shan't this time."
Maria related with piteous little sobs
the story of her long subordination to
Phoebe Dole. This sweet, child-like
'woman had always been completely un
der the sway of other's stronger na
ture. The subordination went back be
yoml my father's original proposal to
her, she" had, before he made love to
as a girl, promised Phoebe she would
not marry, and It was Phoebe who had,
ty representing to her that she was
bound by this solemn promise, led her
to write the letter 'to my father declin
ing his offer, and sending back the ring.
"And after all, we were going to get
married, If he had not died," she said.
"He was going to give me this ring
again, and he had had the other date
put In. I should have been so happy!"
She stopped and stnred at me with
hnrmr-strlcken Inquiry.
"What was Phoebe doing out In your
back yard at 1 o'clock that night? she
cried.
"What do you mean?" I returned.
"I saw Phoebe come out of your back
bed door at 1 o'clock that very night.
She had a bundle In her arms. She
went along the path about as far as the
old well; then she stooped down and
seemed to be working at something.
When he got up she didn't have the
bundle. I was watching at our back
door. I thought I heard her go out a
little while before, and went down
fairs, and found that door unlocked.
I went In quick, and up to my chamber,
and Into my bed, when she started
dome across the field. Pretty soon I
heard her come In; then I heard the
pump going. She slept down stairs;
he went on to her bed-roam. What
was she doing In your back yard that
nlRhtr
"You must ask her," said I. I felt my
blood running cold. '
"I've been afraid to," moaned Maria
Woods. "She's been dreadful strange
lately. I wish that book agent was go
ing to stay at our house."
Maria Woods went home In about an
hour. I got a ribbon for her, and she
has my poor father's ring concealed In
her withered bosom. Again, I cannot
believe this.
Thursday, It Is all over; Phoebe Dole
has confessed! I do not know now in
exactly what way Mr. Dix brought it
bout how he accused her of her crime.
After, breakfast I saw them coming
across the field. iPhoebe came first ad
vancing; with rapid strides like a man;
Mr. Dlz followed, and my father's poor
bid sweetheart tottered behind, with
her handkerchief at her eyes. Just as
I noticed them the front door bell rang;
t found several people there, headed by
the high sheriff. They crowded Into
the sitting-room. Just as Phoebe Dole
came .rushing in, with Mr.' Dix and
Maria Woods.
."J did It r Phoebe cried out to me. "I
am found out, and I have made up my
tnlnd to confess. She was going to mar
ry your father I found It out. I stopped
It once before. This time I knew I
couldn't, unless I killed him. She's
lived with me In that house for over
forty years. There are other tie as
strong as the marriage one, that are
lust as sacred. What right had he to
take her away from me . and break
up my home? .
"I overheard your father and Rufus
feennett having words. I thought folks
would think he did it ,1 reasoned It all

out. I had watched your cat go in that
little door. I knew the shed door un
hooked, I knew how long my arm was;
I thought I could undo it. I stole over
here a little after midnight. I went all
round the house to be sure nobody was
awake. Out in the front yard I hap
pened to think my shears were tied on
my belt with a ribbon, and I untied
them. I thought I put the ribbon In my
pocket it was a piece of yellow ribbon
"I Should Havo to Po too Same with
You."
'but I suppose I didn't, because they
found it afterward, and thought It came
off your young man's whip.
"I went round to the shed door, un
hooked It and went In. The moon gave
light enough. I got out your father's
overalls from the kitchen closet; I knew
where they were. I went through the
sitting-room to the parlor. In that I
slipped off my dress and my skirts and
put on the overalls. I put a handker
chief over my face, leaving only my
eyes exposed. 1 crept out then into the
sitting-room; there I pulled off my
shoes and went Into the bedroom.
"Your father was fast asleep; It was
such a hot night the clothes torere
thrown back and his chest was bare.
The first thing I saw was that pistol on
the stand beside his bed. I suppose he
had had some fear of Rufus Bennett
coming back after all. Suddenly I
thought I'd better shoot him. It would
be surer and quicker; and If you were
aroused I knew that I could get away
and everybody would suppose he had
shot himself.
"I took up the pistol and held it close
to his head. I had never fired a pistol,
but I knew how it was done. I pulled,
but It would not go off. Your father
stirred a little I was mad with terror
I struck at his head with the pistol. He
opened his eyes and cried out; then I
dropped the pistol and took these"
Phoebe Dole pointed to the great shin
ing shears hanging at her waist "for I
am strong in my wrists. I only struck
twice, over the heart.
Then I went back Into the sitting
room. I thought I heard a noise in the
kitchen I was full of terror then and
slipped Into the sitting room closet. I
felt as if I were fainting, and clutched
the shelf to keep from falling.
"I felt that I must go upstairs to see
If you were asleep to be sure you had
not waked up when your father cried
out. I thought If you had I should have
to do the same toy you. I crept upstairs
to your chamber. You seemed asleep,
but as I watched you stirred a little.
But Instead of striking at you I slipped
Into your closetf I heard nothing more
from you. I felt myself wet with blood.
I caught hold of something hanging In
your closet, and wiped myself off with
It. I knew by the feeling It was your
green silk. You kept quiet and I saw
you were asleep, so I crept out of the
closet and down the stairs, got my
clothes and shoes, and, out in the shed,
took off the overalls and dressed my
self. I rolled up the overalls and took
a board away from the old well and
threw them in as I went home. I
thought it they were found It would be
no clue to me. The handkerchief, which
was not much stained, I put to soak
"That Is All t 'llav to Sav .
that night and washed out next morn
ing before Maria was up. I washed
my hands and arms carefully that
night, and also my shears.
"I expected Rufus Bennett would be
accused of the murder, and maybe
hung. I was prepared for that, but I
did no like to think I had thrown sus
picion upon you by staining your dress.
I had rJothlng against you. I made up
my mind I'd get hold df thatdress be
fore anybody suspected you and dye it
black. I came in and got it, as you
know. I was astonished not to see any
more stains on IL I only found two or
three little streaks, that scarcely any
body would have noticed. I dldn'St
known what to thlak. I suspected, of
course, that you had found the stains
and got them off; thinking they might
bring suspicion upon you.
"I did not see how you could possibly
suspect me. In any case. I was glad
when your young man was cleared. I
had nothing against him. That Is all
I have to say." ,
I think I must have fainted away
then. I Cannot describe the dreadful
calmness with whloh that woman told
this that Woman wtth the good face
whom I had heard praying like a saint
In meeting. I believe In demoniacal
possession after this.
When I came to the nla-hhnr were
arouna me, putting campnor on
my
' JLA
head, and saying soothing things to me,
,and the old friendly faces had returned.
But I wish I could forget! ' '
They have taken Phoebe Dole away
I only know that. . I cannot bear to talk
any more about It When I think there
must be a trial, and I must go!
Henry has been over this evening. I
suppose we shall be happy after all,
when I have had a little time to get
over this. He says I have nothing to
worry about. Mr. Dix has gone home.
I hope Henry and I may be able to re
pay his kindness some day. As for
Maria Woods, she is to spend the best
of her life with us.
'.
A month later. I have Just heard
that Phoebe Dole has died in prison!
This Is my last entry. May God help
all other Innocent women In hard
straits as He has helped me.

Happenings of Interest to tho Staple
Trades and Partienlarly to the Trad
in Iron, Stool and Anthracite Coat
The extraordinary Increase of value
In Iron or steel when worked up into
hair-springs in watches is without par
allel. Fifteen thousand halr-sprlngs
can be made out of one pound of steel,
or, taking the vulue of one halr-sprlng
as three times that of one pound weight
of steel, the crude material is by this
process made 45.000 times more valu
able than before.
Carnegie Is said to be making steel
freight cars with a capacity of 80,000
pounds. This is crowding the limit of
rolling weights, and while it Is unques
tionably true that modern bridges and
roadbeds will stand up under heavier
engines than this, it is probable that
superintendents will put on their
thinking caps and shake their heads
gravely over a proposition that in
cludes the hauling of trains with forty
tons In each car plus the weight of the
car Itself.
The United States 'Is undoubtedly
ahead of England and France in the de
signing of engines and dynamos. En
gines were found running over in that
country with what we would consider
practically no governor, that Is, with
slow-acting throttle governors. The
steam turbines, both of the Parsons
and De Laval make, are simplicity and
efficiency. The Parsons machines run
at high speed In some 'English stations
without vibration and were not even
bolted down. The steam turbine, it Is
now thought. Is likely to become an
Important factor In the electrical field.
In both rheostats and electrical Instru
ments, IMr. Leonard says we are ahead
of the foreign practice. He thinks the
craze for storage batteries as the uni
versal panacea for electrical troubles Is
on the wane. The Electrical Engineer,
however. In commenting upon Mr. Leo
nard's address, says no one Is qualified
to express an opinion on this subject
who has not studied it upon the ground
in Germany, which Is the only country
In which the storage battery has been
given any extended trial In a large
number of stations. As Illustrating the
wide diversity of opinions upon this
subject, It states that President Insull,
of the Chicago Edison company, recent
ly returned from Europe with his mind
made up against any extension in Eu
rope with the aid of the storage bat
tery, while IMr. Edgar, of the Boston
Edison company, was placing an order
for prompt delivery for the biggest sta
tion battery outfit In the world.

WORLD'S EXPENSIVE BRIDGES
Structure t'nitlng Now York and Brook
lyn Heads the List.
From fhe New York Sun.
The very latest official computation
Huts the total cost of the Brooklyn
bridge at $17,489,855. The bridge, when
contracted for was to cost $10,800,000.
At least, such was the original estimate
of John A Itoebllng, who, in 1867, put
the cost of the bridge at $7,000,000 and of
the approaches to it $3,800,000. Actual
ly, the bridge cost $15,000,000, which
was not much of ah Increase over the
original figures when the difficulties
of the undertaking came Into account,
the bridge not being opened until six
teen years after the original estimate
was made. Subsequent expenditures,
which have brought the total cost up to
the present figure, are due to the ac
quisition of new approaches and to Im
provements upon the structure which
were not and could not have been cal
culated upon when It was opened
twelve years ago.
The Brooklyn bridge is the most ex
pensive work of the kind In the world,
exceeding in cost any other bridge of
which authentic figures are available.
The bridge over the Forth, In Scotland,
cost $14,000,000, the Victoria bridge In
Canada cost $12,000,000, the bridge
across the Volga at Saratov, In Russia,
cost $4,000,000. The cost of London
bridge was $10,000,000. of Waterloo
bridge $5,500,000, and of the Westmin
ster bridge $2,500,000.
With the enormous Increase of via
duct work for railroad purposes In the
United States, the profession of "bridge
builder" has become a very Important
one, steel and Iron work having largely
superseded masonry, since by Improved
processes in their manufacture, struc
tural Iron and steel have materially de
creased in cost.

Her eyes flashed. "I would do anything

BLESSINGS OF SOUND SLEEP.
Hi at for Mothers la the Cr ef little
Ones.
' Sleep Is regarded as the time when
only good arrives to the sleeper, and In
case of adults this is so; with children,
however, the matter is different The
actual fact of sleep Is good, but the
manner of sleep Is not always so. by
any means, for during these periods of
repose a child may contract a habit of
position which will cause a lasting de
formity. In the first place, children are
often put to sleep always on the same
side. The mother finds them less rest
less so, and thoughtlessly lays them
that way. Some times this restlessness
Is caused by physical defects; but It
mainly arises from habit. No creature
on earth is more liable to habits than
a tiny, soft baby that you wouldn't
think could possess any distinct qual
ity. A mother, for some reason peculiar
to herself, finds it most convenient to
place the little one on Its left side, we
will say, for about three days; when the
fourth day arrives master baby decides
there i something wrong If he be put
on his right side, and forthwith begins
to squirm and twist until he fidgets
himself awake. (Mamma places htm on
the other side, and he serenely settles
himself.
Constantly lying on one side will
make a difference in the size of the
limbs upon that side, and will even
cause that side of the face to remain
smaller than the other. Children will
also draw up one leg In their sleep.
This, too, becomes a fixed habit, and by
the time the child has learned to walk
a difference In the length of the two
lower limbs will be noticed, a misfor
tune which might have been avoided
had the mother been careful to watch
the habits of the sleeping baby. In the
bringing up of children It Is not so
much the care over larger things that
counts, but the constant watchfulness
against the "little foxes that destroy
the vines."
