The Star Co.) CHAPTER MI. There was a moment of intense silence. Elizabeth's reeling brain tried to grasp the meaning of the scene before her. Then the stillness was rent by a shriek as Mrs. Chapin rushed for ward and dropped on her knees by the body of her husband. "He's dead! He's dead!" she screamed. "Oh, my God! my God!' Elizabeth's senses returned to her suddenly. Running forward she put her arms about the distraught woman. "Mrs. Chapin," she said sternly, "stop that screaming! It can do no good. We must send at once for a doctor." At the authoritative tone Martha Chapin ceased her wailing, but con tinued to crouch by the prostrate form of the man who had ruled her for thirty-five years. Elizabeth bent over her, trying to lift her. As if j awakened from a trance, John But- i ler stepped forward hastily. "Det me do that," he demanded, j pushing the girl aside. When he had carried the wife j into the parlor and persuaded her i to lie diown there until he could ] telephone for assistance, he return ed to where Elizabeth stood await ing him. As he entered the room, she pointed to the pistol on the table. "Was it done with that?" she asked sharply. "I don't know," John replied, shuddering, as he looked at the body on the floor. "1 don't know what happened.

"Try to think, dear," she urged. j"Did Amos shoot himself? Did he 'point the pistol at you, and did you jtry to get it away front him? And did it go off in the struggle?" He shook his head. "I don't know how it happened. He showed me 1 the pistol when we first came into the room. Then we talked of other j things. He got angry—and I had •just told him that the farm would I not be his—and he sprang toward Jme as if to strike me—then there .was a flash and he fell."

"Here comes somebody." She ran out into the hall when a knock sounded on the,open front door. A man stood looking in. "I was passing the gate," he ex plained, "and 1 heard someone scream. I thought I'd best come in and see what was wrong. Chapin is an old neighbor," he added, "so I thought I'd take the liberty—" He stopped as Mrs. Chapin came out front the parlor.

"Mr. Miller, there has been j a dreadful accident here," she ex- I plained to the man, who by now had | come into the hall. "Mr. Chapin has heen shot. Will you send for the doctor—or whatever person one should send for? The telephone is there," pointing to the back hall. Going back into the small room where John still lingered, Eliza beth spoke hastily. I "Dear, come out of here and leave I everything just as it is.

Yet it was all so sudden that, even though I can think clearly, I do | not know whether Amos Chapin j seized that fievolver as he came towards me or not.

Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX A QUESTION OF LETTERS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I atn 22, nationality Italian, and have been going out with a young I man for live years, and six months I ago became engaged to him. lam in ! doubt whether he loves me. The ] other day I happened to find two let ters in his possession from a young I woman, one to my friend and the j other to a friend of his requesting my I fiance to let her have some money, j The one to my fiance asked him to I write her. and T doubt if he did so. Her letter explained that he had seen her but once. My chief object in writing is to know whether I had better relate the news of the letters I found in his possession when he re turns from his journey, or whether to say nothing to him until something turns up. I would not take it so to heart if he were not so strict with me. i AGNES. Your letter, all of which I have not given, is not' entirely clear to me. 1 You have neglected to say how you 1 came into possession of letters not intended for you. and I should think I it would place you in a very embar ; rassing position to be obliged to con fess you had read them. But so long as you have done so it seems a case where honesty would be the best policy. I should advise you to con fess you have read the letters and ask him for an explanation of their singular contents. HE LOST HER ADDRESS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I met a sailor who was a stranger in New York and we were very friendly. He told me he should like to know someone in the city who would be frlendl- to him when he comes to town for short visits. When we parted he asked me for my ad dress and I gave it to him. but as there was no paper or pencil handy he said he would remember it. Now I know if he had remembered it lie would have called, and I would like to know if it would be bold on my part to write and give it to him again, also to say he would be wel come to call. Thanking you for your kind reply, which will no doubt make one sailor , boy enjoy his visit in a stranger city. MARY. It will be all right for you to write | the sailor a little note and send him i your address, as he has probably for gotten it. These days, one is,always l willing to strain a point for a man in | uniform. SHALL SHE VISIT HIM I j DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: J I am informally engaged to a young man whom I dearly love. Many I years prior to my knowing and lov i ing my fiance I was a "childhood J sweetheart" of another who is now j stationed at a nearby camp. We have retained a deep regard for one an other. and he has sent me a letter I begging me to come to see him as he |is very lonesome. My fiance will not commit himself, but leaves me to : light it out myself. What would you ! advise, shall I go? A. S. I cannot see any possible objection in your going to see an old friend of your childhood, particularly if you go with the consent of your fiance. I j certainly should attempt no evasion : as to my affairs and should frankly tell the young soldier that I was en gaged to be married.
