THE SCBANTON TRIBUNE PBIDAY MOBNINO, AUGUST 9, 1895. ft V II.. k5v. . &!4HBSESe5ZZlfr (Copyright. l!A by 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 - Irvine Baoheller). 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. (The end.) - NEWS OF OUR INDUSTRIES. 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. Providence Journal. 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.

' 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." Spring House U. E.
