T10NKSTA, PA., THE MYSTERY SOLVED, A November eyening ; G o'clock. "I thought you would hive run; your bell befuro tins time, madam ; I iiess your f.re is e'ctianiost out," said Jerusah Sears, otherwisa kuowa as "Aunt Jerushy," bursting into the par lor nt twilight, or what she chose to cull "early .cnudla , light ia'." "Ain't ye cold, Miss Sweeney? Thero'a no-thin' but ft faw coal left." .'.. The still figure sitting there tn tho angle of the fire place answered not, but that face did not daunt Aunt Jer usha. ,I should have been in before," she" continued, "but I s'posed yo had com- fany. 'Twas the minister, wasn't ft? had my hands in the bread when he knocked or I should have gone to tho dosr." Still no answer. "I guess she's asleep," commented Aunt Jcrusha, audibly ; "au' if she is, I'd better hold my tongue and not wako her. It docs old folks a deal of good to sleep !' Just at that moment the fire blazod tip brightly, and Aunt Jerusha turned round from her task of blowing it with her apron to look at her beloved mis tress. There was something awful in the rigid stillness of her position. Her. head had fallen forward upon her breast, one hand hung by her side, the ntlwr grasped the arm of the chair. Her features were shaded by the posi tion in which she sat. The fire was burning now, and as AuntJerusharo.se she put her hand upon the rug to lift herself by -its aid. It splashed into a pool of something warm, wet, aticky, that was oozing out upon the hearth. . , "I gucis the minister set his umVjrel la down here," she said, and then she glanced at her hand. All the palm was covered by a dark, awful smear, and from her, extended fingers drip ped the clammy rif.3s. "Oh I" shrieked Aunt Jeruslia. "Law I Oh, gracious ! Miss Sweeney 1 I do believe it's blood 1" She went up to her mistress oud clutched her arm. She was alarmed, but her alarm was vague. ; : "Misj Sweeney! Oh, my! Dear ma'nia! Oh, my mistress 1 Can't you speak to me? It's Aunt Jerusha dear!" and eh shook the still Hngure in her increasing terror, and putting her hand beneath the brow, raised up the drooping" head. ; And then she saw oh, what an aw ful sight! A ghastly wound in the white neck that half severed tho. head, a horrible stream still oozing down the widow's dark dress, a pallid face with wido open eyes, congealed in that aw ful stare of horror that preceded her violent death. Mrs. Swenev sat in the .. ... . -. same tranquil position she always us ed, with a hand tightly clasping the arm of her chair, and in the other that lump ri?idlv at her side a tuft of hair s'.ill grasped. It was a coarse but bril liant lock, of jotty blackness, louir, straight, unpliant. All this Aunt Jerusha took in, in one quick, horrified glance. And then her shriek, summoned all the help up on the premises. Uucle Solomon Goshare, tho lame, decrepit old man wh canio once a week, 'pottering about and doing chores," as Aunt Jerusha said, was now sitting before the kitchen fire, eat ing some bread and meat, and toast ing his old rheumatic legs t and for anco Aunt Jerusha was glad of his presence He came hobbling through the passages, grumbling aud exclaim ing ! Uncle Solomon thought women very troublesome creatures, "full of notions," and by no means sound of miud. "What on airth's the matter?" quoth he, stumbling into tho parlor. "What ye screechin' for, Aunt Jerusha? Is the house afire, or what?" "Murder is the matter, ye old fool," answered Aunt Jerusha. "Run down to the village, quick, and cull some body ! Can't you see that MissSweney is killed." "Oh, Lord ! Did ye do it, Aunt Je rusha ? Marcy ! ye don't say she is dead, do ye ?" "Yes, I do, aud here ye stand askin' questions when ye ought to behalf way to the village ! But law, you would never set there. I suppose I shall have to go myself. But don't you go out of the room. "Aunt Jerusha, Aunt Jerusha! I darsent stay here aline nohow. Wall, if you will go," shrinking from her wrathful face aud uplifted hand," give me a light. The fire might go out aud I never could stand it1n the dark." "Light it yourself," answered the grim woman, pushing one of the can dles ou the mantel toward him. And in a moment she was out in the stormy ninht. running along tho miry road that led to the village, more thau half a roue away. Old Salomon retreated to the cor ner farthest from that still awful pres ence, which he watched during those niiuutes which stretched themselves, JULY 4, 1877. in his imagination, into years before Aunt Jerusha returned with the doc tor aud a traiii of affrighted town peo ple. No earthly help was available to her who still sat os in tho quiet, lonely house in tho afternoon, but now quite dead. People swarmed into the house, crowding into the room and jostling in tho passages, wondering, whisper ing, ventilating 6trange theories. At 9 o'clock "the coroner arrived, and found the corpse untouched, still ting iu that awful rigidity. Ho was a hasty, choleric man, he before his arrival jumped at sit- and the conclusion that Mrs. Sweney.'s scrvaats must have committed the murder, for tho sake of plunder. He acted upon this suspicion at once, and ordered tho arrest of old Solomon Goshare :ind .Aunt Jerusha Sears, before even view ing the body. They were, however, permitted to tell their story, and then, as it appear ed that they alone knew anything about tho mysterious, murder, they were retained as witnesses. , There was no evidence upon which they could bo committed, hut the coroner did not feel justified in letting them go free. The funeral took place in duo timo, and tho excitement which tho murder caused in that quiet community sub sided. One cr two strangers about this time took up their temporary abode in tho village, and as they came quite unheralded, and without wstensiblo business, curiosity concerning them 6oon banished every other interest. Mrs. Sweney had lived among them as a stranger. She'had no friends, few relatives and ni visitors. It was" not even known whence she came. Her name was evidently a foreign one, but she' was as evidently an American. Where her life had been spent, or who was tho husband, and who the associ ates of her youth, nobody could suc ceed inrleamiug. Even old Jerusha did not know, or, if she knew, did not impart the secret. Three quiet years, unmarked by any charge, had Mrs Sweney passed in her cottage neaTf Bennington. JNo strangers had ever visited hor, except on occasions a law yer from a distant city, who came on business, and who came as soou as tid ings of her death reached him, pro duced the papers necessary to give warrant to his acts, and then took possession of the cottage and all itcon- tained. He removed Mrs. Sweney's papers, jewels and such valuables os were most portable, and left tho re mainder with tho house in charge of Am it t" Jerusha, who was once moro at liberty. If Mrs. Sweney had any friends, thev communicated with tho lawyer. Bennington people knew noth ing of them. Mrs. Sweney had lived among them a mystery, and her death was the crowning incident of that mys tery. By direction of the coroucr, Aunt Jcrusha had faithfully preserved the lock of hair which had been clinched in the dead hand. When tho lawyer came and removed the effects of the deceased lady he lia i taken this, much agairst tho will of Aunt Jerusha, who expected some dire penalty of the law to befall her for permitting it to be re moved from. her possession." But no disastrous ' results followed. Days lengthened into weeks, and weeks into months, and when the almost forgot ten murder was mentioned in Ben nington, it was as a matter destined to be forever hidden. Everything had assumed its usual monotonous course. The strangers wb i came soon after the murder had long disappeared. It was now known that they were detectives, and had been foiled in their investiga tions. Suspicion had never fasteuod upon any one in Bennington, and no stranger had been seen in tho neigh borhood previous to-the murder. Yet no ono deubted that there must have been one, who disappeared as soon as the fatal deed wa3 committed ono to whom that lock of hair, clutched in the victim's death spasm, belonged. And so two years went by. Aunt Jcrusha, taking her solitary breakfast ono morninsj, was 6tartled by a, loud, long knocking at the door. The long unused knocker creaked, un der tho vigorous blows dealt by tho new-comer, and through tho empty passages and closed up rooms the echoes answered loudly to the unac customed sound. With many groans and exclamations Aunt Jerusha hast ened to the door. A dark young man stood there, evi dently impatient, for he bad just lilted his hand to tho knocker the second time. "Mrs. Sweney," he said, "Does she not live here?" "Sho usod to," replied Aunt Jcru sha ; "but she's been dead these two years. What do you waut?" "I want to come in at present, and afterward I shall waut soma breakfagt, and then a room prepared for me, and soma talk with you, perhaps. I may want other things, but I can tell you better hereafter." "You can't co;ne iu till I know who ft o MUM $2 PER ANNUM. you are. And as to slaying hero and getting breakfast, it's agin my orders to have any company. "A fig for your orders," answered the stranger, rudely pushing past her. "I'm Macbeth Sweney, and my father was the husband of the lady who lived here, as she claimed, but as I doubt. At any rate, I havo a right here, and it will not bo well for you to dispute it." "Be you Miss Sweneyjs son ?" asked Aunt Jerusha, as with pale, scared face sho followed him into the parlor. "The Signora Sweney is my mother," he answered haughtily. "And now be so good as to open theso blinds and bring me eomo brcikfast. -But first bIiow me to ft bedroom." , "There's no room ready but the one tlt used to bo Miss Sweney's," said Aunt Jerusha, tremblingly, "and no body's slept there since wo laid her on the bed there with that great gash in her throat. We never found out who murdered the poor lady. Is it that you have Come about?" "Will you stop ..your pratitig and show hie tho room, woman?" exclaim ed the stranger, advancing threaten ingly. And Aunt Jerusha was com pelled to unlock the door of that room associated in her mind with such dreadful recollections, aivj usher him across that threshold only to be cross ed by her, with awe and trembling, on her days of cleaning aud inspection. In half an hour she brought him breakfast, and he detained her to an swer numerous questions relative to tho late inruato of the house. But he calculated too little on the native shrewdness of bis witness. Aunt Jo rtisha was firmly determined that no information should be given until sho knew whether this intrusive guest was a friend or foo to her late mistress. On this subject the nature of his questions served very soon to convice her. Mac beth Sweney was tho son ' of tha man whom Mrs. Sweney had once called her husband, and it was very evident that hii feelings were inimical to hor, and that his enmity had followed her beyound the grave. At the close of their conference, Aunt Jerusha went bock to her kitch en, shaking her head. She by no means liked tho present aspect of things, but she felt herself powerless. Mr. Sweney had surely some shadow of right and. she had none that could avail against him. All day she heard him rambling about the houso and tho sounds, from the late Mrs; Sweney's room indicated that ho was moving heavy pieces of furniture, and insti tuting a general search among tho de ceased lady's effects. Her clothing.and all papers which did not seem of im portance, together with other articles of small intrinsic value, had been left there. Aunt Jerusha regretted now that sho had not attempted to fit up some other room for her guest. But ono remedy for hor momentary weakness suggested- itself. A tele graph lias had lately been erected in the village. She resolved to summon tho lawyer by means of this mode of communication. Sho had no sooner furnished" tho stranger with his dinner than sho set out for the village, where, after ascertaining wjiat it was necessa ry for her to do, she coucocted tho fol lowing message, which speedily was flashed along the wires: "There's a feller hero with black hair liko that you know on. Coma as soon as you cau." This dono she returned to her homo quite satisfied with her errand, and quietly sat herself down to await tho result. Sho knew that sho must wait at least a whole day, but sho resolved not to relax her vigilauca and permit this man to escape. Her precautions, however, were in vain, lie remained throughout that dy, and in tho evening callod Aunt Jerusha for 3ome purpose. ho found him sitting in tho parlor, answered his questions, and provided him with onot'ier nicely trimmod lamp and fuel. After securing tho doors sho retired, and, though she slept ill, heard no alarming sounds until tho following morning, when sho arose, and having prepared breakfast for tho stranger, carried it to his room. To her surprise it was vacant. Mac beth Sweney had departed and left no trace. That afternoon the lawyer arrived, accorapauied by an experienced deteo tive, and before nightfall a pursuit was organized. If found, the stranger would at least ho arrested for robbery, for. though thero had bcon little of valuo for him to take, it was quite ev ident that Mrs. Sweney's escritoire and receptacle for papers had been search ed, and a few relics, which Aunt Je rusha knew had beeu cherished by tho deceased lady were gone. Mr. , tho lawyer, who alono knew anything of bar history, believed thit young Sweney was her murderer, for he knew much of tho persecutions she had for merly endured, and the attempts that had been mado to invalidate her inar riui'e. and lejritimizo tho sou of the Itatos of Advtii.

He also new that an im portant paper no less than the.certif icato of her marriage had been lost at tho timo of her murder. Once more a great crowd had been gathered at the cottage. Onco more Aunt Jerusha and Uncle Solomon... were witnesses. It was for them, who" alone had seen him, to identify the prisoner who had just been brought in, and this they did at once, unmindful of the terrible frown with which ho regarded them. He was committed to tho county jail for forcible entry and robbery of the house, and while ho lay there the lawyers were slowly weaving around him a web. which was to enmesh him.: Having tho clue, various circumstan ces camo to light, all tending to show that Sweney was the murderer. Ho was shown to have beeu in the county at the time and to have arrived at tho nearest point by rail, which was near tho residence of Mrs. Sweney, on tho very day of the murder. His object had lecu, doubtless, to intimidate Mrs. Sweney, compel her to yield up tho documents which proved her rights and his Jpgitimacv. -Having failed iu this, ho had deliber ately committed the murder, taken from her the certificate, and departed unseen. The lock of hajr clutched iu the fin gers of the dead was also a powerful witness against him. Strange enough, it corresponded exactly in color, qual ity and strength with his own, and just, above the temple was a bald spot about tho size of tho lock, which seem ed to be pulled thence. It was probably thought that time enough had elapsed to render his pres ent visit safe, mo'ro especially as no suspicion had ever fastened to him;' and this lime he came with the hope of securing an important deed which Mrs. Sweney had once in her posses sion, and which, in tbe father's neces sary communication with Mrs. Swe ney's lawyer, he had learned had ' not been transferred te him. This was found amoog the effects of Macbeth Sweney, and be had doubtless discov ered it in somo secret drawer that had escaped tho .lawyer's vigilance. Ciicumstantial evidence alono con victed him, but the universal comment upon tha verdict of tho jury declared its justice. He expiated luscrirrm up on the gallows, and Aunt .Jerusha Scan became the heroine of Benning ton she'looked upon herself and was belioved by others, to bo the principal instrument in bringing to light tho perpetrator of a mj'sterious crime,and punishing all who had been engaged in the persecutions heaped upon a most unfortunate and uahappy lady. Talent' will Tell, One of tho remarkable things about New York is the marvelous number of third-rate men we have in business. We have hundreds of lawyers, yet, if a first-class caso comes up, you can count one of ten men who will con duct the case.
