"I know, " the widow said. "He hat informed me. And then, the bag of gold It seems incredible!" "Did your son return to the house, mad m. after he had received the bag of coin and before going to the banker's 7" "He did not. He left us at half aftet nine, and when he returned he waa ll the custody of Sheriff Cobb. Yon know he expected to leave for Baltimore on th four o'clock train to attend to some busl ness matters he has there with a commls ion house." "He so reformed me," said Sellars. "Mr. Sellars.

Oh, if Duncan waa alive, what a .hock this would be to him. And his son hi hoy. held for the crime!" "Herbert Russell was held for the mur der of Dr. Taylor, madam." "True." said the widow, as Sellars pas ed from the room. Jennie accompanied Mm to the door, bade him good-night, and watched his form as It disappeared In the darkness that so often precedes the dawn of day. "What a reputation that man baa as a Jetecter of crime." she thought, as she Talked back through the hall. "Through out the South, at least, he stands without s peer. Well, he deserves to." When she joined her mother she found her preparing to retire in a chamber ad joining the Bitting room, tears coursing their way down her cheeks in profusion. "Why. mother, dear, you are weeping ret." "But now, my child, the teare are happy ones compared to those of but a half-hour co. Come, join me In my room for a abort repose. At eight o'clock yon must hear the glad tidings to your brother that he is under the watchful care of Lang Sellars, the great Southern detective who has promised to restore him to us. CHAPTER VII. Sheriff Cobb, when he had taken Robert Campbell into custody, was thoroughly catlafied ht the young man waa tb bankers murderer. Of that there can Be no doubt, but It is also certain that in his haste to do so he waa actuated by l fear that Sellars would rob him of the rlory. as he considered it, by taking him into custody himself. Since the rescue of Herbert Russell from the very trap of the gallows a year Sheriff riohh had been very jeal- us of Carolina's great detective, and he that he should have the :redit of having apprehended the murder er of Banker DeRosette. Not a suspicion of Herman Craven, the (nan who. in slippered feet, bareheaded ind in his shirt sleeves, had aroused him from his slumbers at the dead hour of aitcht by the ringing of his door bell and shouts of murder, hai crossed his mm Herman Craven had denounced the man w hom he found bent over his nncle'a life less clay with the bloody knife in his hand, as his murderer. Herman Craven was the dead man s oephew; the cashier of bis bank: the pros pective husband of his daughter. At least, Herman had told him that it was hia an cles wish that they be united. ji r. l r l I i I t U LA 1 ' IS 0 Herman had cashed thousands of checks for him. which checks he had accepted In payment of taxes. It was plain to Sher iff Cobb that Robert Campbell had sought that night to gain the banker's consent to his marriage to his daughter. The banker had utterly refused hia sanc tion, and forbidden him to pay hia ad- 1 reuses to the girl. The girl loved, or fan ied she loved, him, but would not be otne his wife without her father's con tent. Perhaps he had ordered Robert from the house. Anyway, the banker re nwjved, the young man hoped to make ilattie his wife and obtain the fortune she would inherit. "Xo thing could be plainer," thought SherU Cobb. "He was prepared for uch an emergency. He had the sheath knife with him. It may have been In an unguarded moment and In a fit of passion that he thrust its blade to the banker's heart, or the deed may have been coolly and deliberately executed. One thing sure, the blow fell quick and sadden, but in hi anxiety to make certain that his victim was dead the young man tarried too lone. The cries of the banker reached the ears f his nephew and those of his daughter. who aped down the stairs and confronted him with the evidence of his damnable ?rime clotched in his hand. "A moment more and he would bar een gone, the sheath knife with him. In he morning the banker's body would have been found stiff and cold. Who murdered him? Robert Campbell would have un dertaken to fasten suspicion on the young cashier, as he does now, and perhaps with greater prospect of success. But the bag of coin ? He did not have it with him Vhen he entered the house. But how did he obtain that note? He may have bad t and secreted it somewhere after he vtruck the blow, and before he withdrew he knife blade from the banker a breast It may be discovered in the bouse. Again, he may have had an accessory, who fled with the coin. At all events, I have the start of Lang Sellara on this ease. I have the man who struck the fatal blow. He belongs to one of the first families in the State, but there is no 'wrong man' this time. All I will require will be a little time to find the gold. Robert Campbell is a candidate for the gallows!" Thus thought Sheriff Cobb as he made his way home after seeing his prisoner in carcerated in jaiL The cries of the widowed mother and lister of the prisoner yet rang In hia ears; but there was only one path for him to follow the path of doty. At eight o'clock on the morning of the nineteenth Jennie Campbell entered the ifflc of the county jail and made known her desire to sea her brother. "Follow me. Miss Campbell," said Jailer Vllyaw, an undersised, corpulent little nan. "There are no orders not to admit 'on, and if there were you should see your rother, even if he Is in jail on the charge f murder. I am sorry for you, miss, in leed I am. Who would have believed tr "Don't speak of It, Mr. Filyaw, if you please," said Jennie. "We have every confidence that my brother will be able :o establish his innocence." "I hope he may." said the jailer. "I lope he may. But what have you there?" "Merely my brother's breakfast in this basket," said Jennie. "He ia not nsed to prison fare. My mother being some what prostrated, did not accompany me. ind I did not bring my maid to-day." "Bless yon," said Filyaw, "I should not feed Robert Campbell on prison fare. The best my own table affords should be his." "Oh, thank yon, air, bnt either my maid r I will come every day while my brother is here ia jail." They passed from the offlce through the ball into the corridor of the prison. Fit raw blew a sharp not on his whistle and i turnkey came forward and unlocked and swung open the heavy iron door of the structure, banding tne jailer a bunch of eys as he did so. They passed witnin ana tne neavy aoor losed with a clang that grated on poor Jennie's nerves. Two rows of cells confronted them ne to the right, the other opposite with i nassase between them and an iron stai- vay at the further end of the passage Hey, you jailer! Does my case cany ff at September court?" wo greeting that reached their ears as they idvanced. "I think not, WorteH," was the reply: but don't worry about It. It will come ff soon enough." "Got any 'baccer. Mars Jailer?" were he words that greeted them from another ell. "Here. Pompy!" and Filyaw passed half if a plug through the iron bars of his ceil. "Tank you, Massa," and the negro grin jed as though he was happy. "Why do you keep negroes here, Mr. Filyaw 7' "All. Miss Campbell, who violate the aw, free born or slave, white or black, ire liable to" Imprisonment in jail. Pompy iow is a free negro. His offense is not . ery grave. He merely stole a hog. If his iccusers tell the truth." "Da lies. Mars Jailer; da lies. I neb VT stold dat hog. He corned to my tater ,utch. an" was rootin' dem up. You reck in I gwine let someone else's hog waller n my t a tern, an' den Mow blm to go freei ides dat. I only got seben dollars fer de log. an' 1 offer de owner half of It." "Don't worry, Pompy: I have engaged i good lawyer to defend you-" "Tank you. Mars Jailer." They passed on to the stairway and as ended it. It was much lighter on this ior, nnd the air seemed more wholesome. I'herc were two rows of cells as below, bnt ,ot extending the full length of the build tig. Two debtors' rooms occupied eon-t.io-.hif mice at the rear. -Yonr brother la In the male debtor's rooi?" ..IdJailer Filyaw. "I did not Mk. ne Idea of confining him In a cell.

"mething wrong somewhere." hemut tr"Lang BeUarg ahejUd be called la- to this eaae. I tnt believe a son of Dun can Campbell guilty of murder." Little did Filyaw know how deeply tbe great detective waa already interested In the case. ' !I Vae In aad despair all night, dear sis ter. said Robert, perhaps five minutes after Filyaw had taken hia departure. "My .reliance was on Sellara, and I thought he had abandoned nee. Your good news reassure me. I am content to lie In jail until such time aa he la able to place hare In my stead the murderer of my dear old friend. It will take time, bnt be win do It, and with a network around him from which he cannot escape. Now let ns talk no more about thla mat ter. Yon know the inquest takes place at tea o'clock. I do not wish mother to be there. If necessary, promise me that you yourself will remain home and keep her from attending. It would be too much for one of her years and sensitive nature. I shall surely be held to court, and I would spare her the pain of seeing me conveyed to jail again." "She thought you would feel so, Robert, ind will remain at home. Several ladies will be with her. I shall be at the inquest, my brother, and though you are returned to jail, knowing what the future will bring forth, I am content, and then I must be with Hattle, your future wife." "Bless J to, my sister I" The brothel and sister sat side by side on the iron cot when Filyaw again opened the door, and the basket of edibles had been very much depleted. "Ready. Miss Campbell?" he asked. "Yes, Mr. Filyaw, and very thankful to you. "Entirely welcome. I Just received a message from Attorney Dobba, and am expecting him at the jail every moment. He may try to worm- a confession from you, Robert. I would not see him." . "Thank you, Filyaw, but I am guilty of no crime. Please admit him." "I don't believe ou are. but these law yer ar. dangerous sometimes, .WouM you not DV to see Lang Sellars? You remember how he saved the life of Her bert Russell at the last moment. Poor Herbert, he occupied this very room for some time." "I have no message for Sellars," said Robert. "Of course, if he calls volun tarily and wishes to see me, admit him: but he stated last night that he thought Sheriff Cobb had apprehended the right man." "He did! He did!" exclaimed Filyaw. moving nervously toward the door. "Then I would not give much for your life. God help you, sir!" Robert and hia sister exchanged glances. He kissed her good-by and she followed the Jailer back to hia offlce. "Neither the brother nor sister seem heartbroken," thought Filyaw, as he watched her lithe form pass from view, "but if Lang Sellars made that statement the son of Duncan Campbell will die a felon' death on the gallows."

The machinery moulders of Pittsburg have decided to ask the manufacturers for an advance In wages of at least ten per cent, and the establishment of a minimum wage rate of not less than $2.75 per day. The attendance num bered over 300. representing every ma chine moulding shop in the city and almost 1000 skilled mechanics. The moulders have made no demand for a wage advance since 1889, when they won their fight after a short strike. Since that time wages have gone up and down, and all semblance of uni formity has been obliterated. Some of the shops are paying as high as $3 a day, while others pay 40 to SO cents less Musical Notes. Marie Brema will make a concert and oratorio season in this country this year.

At a lime when tbe whole nation Is stirred with patriotic emo- lon at tne return oi Admiral ueoret Dewey and bis gallant men on tbe cruiser Olympia and the magnificent reception ac corded to them, tbe Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, In his sermon, preaching to a vast audience, appropriately recalls for. devout and patriotic purposes some of tbe treat naval deeds of olden and more recent times. Text, James Hi., 4, "Behold also tbn ships." irtms exclamation was appropriate aoorn. 1872 years ago, when it was written con senting tbe crude Ashing smacks that sailed Lake Ualliee, now muen more appropriate In an age which has launched from the dry- docks for purposes of peace tbe Oceanic of the While Star line, tbe Lncanla of the Cunard line, tbe Ht. Louis or tbe American line, the Kaiser Wilheim der Orosse of tbe North German Lloyd line, the Augusta Vic toria of the Hamburg-American line, and in an age which for purposes of war has launched tbe screw sloops like tbe Idaho, tbe anenanaoan. tbe usslpee, and our iron clads like tbe Kalamazoo, the Roanoke and tne Dunderberg, and tnose wnlca nave al ready been buried in the dee , like the Monitor, tbe Housatonlo and the Wee bawken, tbe tempests ever since sounding volley over their watery sepulchers, and the Oregon, and the Brooklyn, and the lexas, and the Olympia, tbe Iowa, tbe Has webusetts, the Indiana, tbe New York, tbe Marietta of tbe last war, and the soarred veterans ot war shipping, like tbe Consti tution or the Alllanoe or tbe Constellation, that have swung into the naval yards to ipend tbelr last days, their decks now all silent or tne leer mat iroa mem, ineir rig ging all silent ot the hands that clung to them, tbeir portholes silent of tbe brazen throats that once thundered out ot them. Full Justice has been done to tbe men Who at different times fought on the land, but not enough has been said of those who on ship's deck dared and suffered all things. Lord God of the rivers and tbe sea, help me In this sermonl So, ya admirals, com manders, captains, pilots, gunners, boat iwalns, sailmakers, surgeons, stokers. mess mates and seamen of all names, to use your awn parlance, we might as well get under way and stand out to sea.

It Is considered a gal ant thing when tn a naval fight the flag (hlp with its blue ensign goes ahead up a river or Into a bay, Its admiral standing In the shrouds watching and giv ing orders. But I bave to tell you, O vet erans ot tbe American navy, if you are as loyal to Christ as you were to tbe govern ment, there Is a flagship sailing ahead of y ob of which Christ Is the admiral, and He watches from tbe shrouds, and the heavens are the blue ensign, and He leads you to ward the harbor, and all the broadsides of sarth and hell cannot damage you, and ve whose garments were once red with your own blood shall have a robe washed and made white in the blood of tbe Lamb. Then strike eight bellsl High noon in heaven I While we are heartily greeting and ban uetlng tbe sailor patriots just now re lumed we must not forget the veterans 3t the navy now In marine hospitals or spending tbeir old days In tbelr own or their children's homesteads. Ob, ye vet erans, I charge you bear up nnder tbe aches and weaknesses that you still carry from the wartimes. You are not as stalwart as you would have been but lor that nerv ous strain and for tbat terrific exposure. Let every ache and pain, Instead of depress ing, remind you of your fidelity. The sinking ot the Weehawken off Morris Island, De cember 6, 1863, was a mystery. She was not under fire. The sea was rough. But Admiral Dahlgren fron the deck of the flag steamer Philadelphia taw ber gradually sinking and Anally she struck the ground, but the flag still floated above the wave in tbe sight of the shipping. It was afteward found that she sank from weakness through injuries In previous service. Her plates bad been knocked loose in previous times. So you have tn nerve and muscle and bone and dimmed eyesight and difS 3ult hearing and shortness ot breath many intimations that you are gradually going down. It is the service of many vears ago tbat Is telling on you. Be of good cheer. We owe you just as niuoh as though your llfeblood bad gurgled through the scup pers ot the ship In tbe Red river expedition or as though you bad gone down with tbe Melville off Hatteran. Only keep your flag Hying, as did the Illustrious Weehawken. Good cbeer, my boys! Sometimes ol the coast or England tbe royal family Lave Inspected the British navy, maneuvered before them for tbat purpose. In tbe Baltic sea the czar and czarina bave reviewed tbe Russian navy. To bring before tbe American people tbe debt they owe to tbe navy I go out with you on tbe Atlantic ocean, where there Is plenty ot room, and in Imagination re view tbe war shipping of our four great eonfllcts-1776, 181'i, 1365 and 1898. 8wing Into line all ye frigates.

Had the Christian religion been a cowardly :hlng they would have had nothing to do with it. In its faitb they lived and died. In Brooklyn navy yard Admiral Foote 3eld prayer meetings and conducted a re rival on the receiving ship North Carolina ind on Sabbaths, far out at sea, followed :be chaplain with religious exhortation. In early life, aboard tbe sloop-of-war Satobez, impressed by the words of a Chris Man sailor, be gave bis spare time for two weeks to tbe Bible, and at tbe end of tbat --- openlv """neeforth. undor all Jircumstances, I will act :or God." iiis ast words while dying at the Astor House, Sew York, were: "I thank God for all His roodness to me. He has been very good ;o me." Wben ha entered heaven, he did lot have to run a blockade, for it was imld the cheers of a great welcome. The ther Christian admiral will be honored m earth until the days when tbe Ores from ibove shall lick up the waters from be leath and there shall be no more sea. Ob, while old ocean's breast Bears a white sail And Ood's soft stars to rest Guide through the gale, lien will him ne'er forget. Old heart of oak Farragut, Farragut . Thunderbolt stroke! According to his own statement, Far ragut was very loose in his morals in early xanhood and practiced all kinds of sin. One day be was called into tbe cabin of bis father, who was a shipmaster. His father iaid, "David, what are you going to be anyhow?" He answered, "I am going to follow the sea." "Follow tbe sea," said tbe father, "and be kicked about the world and die In a foreign hospital?" "No," said David; "I am going to com mand like you." "No," said tbe father; "a boy of your habits will nover command anything." And his father burst Into tears ana left the cabin. From tbat day David Farragut started on a now lire. Captain l'ennlngton, an nonoren eider of my Brooklyn church, was with bim in most ot bis battles and bad his Intimate friendship, and he confirmed, what I bad beard elsewhere, that Farragut was good and Christian. In every great crisis of life he asked and obtained tbe Divine di rection. When in Mobile bay tbe monitor Tecumseb sank from a torpedo and tbe great warship Brooklyn, tbat was to lead the squadron, turned back, be said he was at a loss to know whether to ad vance or retreat, and he says: "I prayed. 'O God, who created man and gave bim reason, direct me wbat to do. hbatl I go on?' And a voiee commanded me, 'Go on,' and I went on." Was there ever a more touching Christian letter than that which be wrote to bis wife from bis Ongsbip Hartford? "My dearest wile, I write and leave this letter for you. I am going into Mobile bay in tbe morning if God is my leader, and I hope He is, and In Him I place my trust. If He thinks It is the proper place for me to die, I am ready to submit :o His will in that as all other things. God less and preserve you, my darling, and ..---.denr boy, it anything should happen to His Diessings rest upon you ano "her." raiiaDOOsaln the lar oi ntrUo'V, "iu'.iiL" Mii wonld be well If I uled now in harness." f tu9 nafc fan Episcopal service ior.tbe deady , was never more approprintely rendered :han over his casket, and well did all the lorts of New York harbor thunder as his xdy was brought to tbe wharf, and well lid the minute guns sound and tbe bells :oll as In a procession having In its ranks :he President of tbe United States and his :ablnet and tbe mighty men of land and sea :he old admiral was carried, amid bun ireds of thousands of uncovered heads on Broadway, and laid on bis pillow of dust In jeautlful Woodlawn, September 30, amid .he pomp of our autumnal forests. fi We hail with thanks the new generation t naval heroes, those of tbe year 1898.
