THE CLICK IN THE HALL [Original.] Tears ago when 1 was a very young man I learned telegraphy and when I v is tw.nly live years old received a llattering . fl'er to t<> Itul\ to In struct a corps of operators for a new line then building.

I it v rep. .ft ei l that the demands of the bandits, who thought he was fabulously rich, were so enormous that he could not pay them. At least this was the as uuiptioii from what the bandits had permitted to be known. I worked across the Island, then back again. One night I stopped at a sta tion In the mountains w here there was onh . ue bn : |; ag In which a stranger c«>uld be acco: itnod ited. but Its owner and the people I -aw about the place ■ were so vlllianous looking that I feared to stay there. However, there was no choice, and, leaving what money 1 possessed at the station, I took up my quarters in this uninviting abode. The head of my bed was against a wall, and before going to Bleep 1 heard what at lirst I took to be a mouse's gn i wing, though the wall was of stone and mice do not try to work their way through n. sonry. My surroundings were so disagreeable that I did not i to sl(" easily, and this continued in tin- wall did not add to my .Ity to do so. Finally it occurred / me that there was, to speak para doxically, nn irregular regularity about the clicks Resides, they would stop and be resumed at Intervals which were about equal.

' Ghe Lorv/jworthy Confessions ; [Original.! The Longworthy case was no mys- L tery; at least that is what everybody ■ raid. Longworthy had conic into the house that day, and Desmond was tn 1 pi out of it In th" morning. Longwor thy'a hodv was found In the library shot through the heart, while Des j mond's revolver, one chamber empty lay on the tioor. When they arrested Desmond, though he had not been In formed of the murder, he did not seen i surprised, the pallor on his face deep ■ i encd; there was a wild terror in hi: eye; lie made no denial of his guilt. Desmond had every motive for th< ; crime. Longworthy had turned up tr deprive him of an estate he had sup : posed belonged to himself. Dcsmont had loved Katherine Page, who musi marry the heir to the estate or forfeli her own property, worth a million. The prisoner bore himself as one Ilv ing in the horror of a crime. Whal passed between him and his legal do fender was a secret, but after a con ference the lawyer putin the plea of insanity and on this depended solely for acquittal. The trial was short, the defense be ing routined to a theory advocated by the prisoner's counsel that Desmond had been made temporarily insane by the loss of fortune and the woman hfl loved. The plea was considered weak, tirst, because it was not proved that Katherine I'age had decided to throw him off to save her fortune; second, liecause the criminal Insane are not to be tolerated hy society. The jury were out two hours, all this while discussing the leaving of the pistol where it was sure to incriminate the murderer, then returned to the court with a verdict of guilty. Desmond was in prison a long while awaiting the execution of the death sentence. Ills counsel worked for hlin with all the zeal of one confident of his client's Innocence. This was surpris ing, for, putting in a plea of insanity, which was by no means substantiated, the lawyer virtually confessed that the deed had been committed by Desmond. One day the lawyer hurried into Des mond's cell and told him to prepare ids mind for a reli >f which was so marked, so miexpecb 1 that it would be dangerous. Desmond looked up nt him with a piteous expression of in quiry. "Somr time ago," said the lawyer, "I received u note from one who agreed to confess to the Lontrworthy murder if punishment could be fixed beforehand at a few years. Since then I have been working night and day to secure the terms. This morning secret papers were signed agreeing to a sentence of ten years, and the real murderer has con fessed. "Confessed;" said the prisoner won derlngly. "Who did the murder?" "That Is a secret which belongs to the state." "The murderer's motive?" "That, too, is a state secret" Desmond walked out of prison a free man. He was in a singular position. The man who had supplanted him was dead, and he was again in possesion of his estates. He asked after Kather ine rage and was told that she had gone on a long Journey and had left in structions that her whereabouts should be concealed from him. This only deep ened the gloom in which he dwelt with out bringing out any expression of dis satisfaction. A year passed. One morning Des mond took up a newspaper and read: A man died yesterday, who before his death made a written confession that he had killed the person supposed to be Philip Long worthy, hut who was Thillp Dtvlin. 1 'evlln, by means of forged pa pers, obtained possession of the estate of Arthur Desmond, who was tried fur his mtiriier. The confessed murderer was to have shared In tho plunder. As he did not. he went to the house from whlo v Desmond had not yet departed and, ob taining Desmond's revolver, killed LOHR worthy, leaving the weapon to turn sus picion to another. After Desmond's con viction a woman confessed the crime and Is now servln,; a sentence of imprison ment. The woman? She had confessed a crime she had not committed. There came a suspicion that this was a sacri fice with which in some way Katherine Page was linked. Desmond seized his hat, eager to find some one who would unravel the mys tery. He was about leaving the house when ho received a call from the at torney who had defended him. "Have you seen the article"— asked Desmond. "Yes. I have come to announce that she who suffered disgrace aud impris onment that you might live, Katherine Page, has this morning been set free and la waiting for you at her house." When Desmond entered the room where Katherine I'age awaited his coming he found her as much under the control of deep feeling as he was himself. Till the real confession she had not known whether Desmond was guilty or innocent, though she had not the slightest doubt of his Innocence. Now her own personal freedom was restored to her with his vindication and a restoration of her former sur foundings. The two without a word were locked in a long embrace. The world that had t»een dead for them had again sprung Into life. • •••••• Desmond had brooded so deeply over his loss that at the time of the murder he was In a state bordering on mad in ss At Intervals he could not recall the recent past and was In terror l»*st he should kill the man who had ■'tip planted him. When the deed was done It seemed to be revealed to him that he had done It. He was so far con vinced of this that his attorney had no other recourse but to enter a plea of Insanity AUSTIN ALLKN KINGSLEY.

The End of A yu&rrel [Original.] Burglar* were m po- -es ion of the town not in open po-. ---loii, for they wore never seen; they hid somewhere all day. doing their housebreaking at night. This was compai atlvely simple, for the police foive consisted of live men, who were expected to watch *i,ikX) houses, or a thousand houses to each man. On Sunday evening when the Hurtles family were at ehureh and the servant "out" burglars entered the house and got away with much plun der (>ll Monday night, or. rattier, morn ing, they cut a hole with a jig saw in the kitchen door of the Lawrences, turned the key, walked in, took every thing on the ground floor and depart ed without awakening the Inmates. And so they proceeded, nearly every night entering some house and carry ing off valuables. Why they contin ued operations In one locality for so long a time no one could tell unless it was on account of lack of protec tion. Young Mrs. I'.art let t had a tiff with her hushand in the morning at the breakfast table. Her servant the day before had left her in the lurch, there was an unusually large washing and no one to do it. She had requested Mr. Bartlett togo out and hunt up a wom an to come in and launder. Mr. Bart lett had replied that by so doing he might possibly lose an important busi ness deal and a thousand dollars that would go wilh it. Then Mrs. Bartlett had told him that If he refused the washing would have togo over, and this would disarrange the household for the whole week and perhaps lon ger, whereupon Mr. Itartlett told her that he would rather the washing stand over a month than that lie should lose his deal. This was the way It ! started, and it ended by Mr. Bartlett putting on his hat and going out, shut- j ting the door on the middle of a sen tence his w il'e w ;'s firing at him. As soon a- the husband had departed the wife went out herself, luckily found a laundress, brought her home and in a few minutes the serenity of the household was only broken by the rub, rub, rub in the laundry. Mrs. Bartlott's irritation cooled down as the water in the range boiler grew hot, and she began to regret her harsh words. Mr. Bartlett went to his office, had an j unlucky business day and when even ing came, supposing his wife would tie in the same humor he had left her, in stead of going home to continue the ( quarrel went to his club, dined and spent the evening there. When the dinnt r linur arrived and ' Mr. Itartlett did not return Mrs. Mart left began to tremble for fear she had gone too far. She dined alone that Is, i she went through the motions of din- 1 Ing, for she was in no mood to eat. J When she paid oIT the laundress and found herself absolutely alone In the house her heart w nt down like the mercury on the eve of a < yelone. Two terrors > ied with each other for the honor of ab orbing her at' -ntion -one that she had driven her husband away from her, the other that the burglars who were lnf stiii- the town might I make her a visit. Locks and keys were j a great deal for her, and she locked and bolted every door in the house, in 1 eluding the fivnt door, besides noting 1 carefully that the catch was properly { set on every window The evening j was spent, first, in abusing her hits- : band for not coming home; second, fearing that lie never would come home, and. third, expecting every min ute to be burglarized. About 11 o'clock she went upstairs, and, putting on a wrapper, lay down on the bed. Suddenly he started up. Had she heard a sound below or had she dream ed it? While she was wondering there was a step In the rear of the house. <]e ing to a bat k window she peeped through the blinds, which she had pur posely slanted, but though she could hear some one below she could see nothing. Noisel, s|y opening the shut ter, she put out her h ad and looked down upon a man trying the window catch on the lloor below. Sometimes the most timid Unexpeol edly display the greatest bravery when put to a trial. Mr- Itartlett realized that something i> ! ;st be done to drive the man oil'. Sin; feared that if she cried out she would not be heard and it would incite the burglar to kill her. There was neither gun nor pistol In the house, and If there w«*re she would not dare touch either. Like n Hash it came to hoi that the water in the boiler was very hot. having been kept so all day for laundry purpos s. Seizing a pitcher she rushed to the bath room, filled it with steaming water, returned to the window and poured it' down ou the head of the burglar. There was a yell and the man, wring ing Ills hands, stopped back and looked tip at the window. '"Fiend." lie cried, "how can you tie so devilish as to pour scalding water on your hi: band?" There was a shriek at the window, j and Mrs. Bartlett, frantic, rushed downstairs and threw open a back | door. There was a passionate protest : 112 .
