WHO
BY MARIE LOUISE POOL.
yJOJ. KNEW whore she was, to
) Jt 0llr uncle's; 'n' I went
g I O straight there.
N 4 "She was white's a sheet
WW when she coine Into the
parlor where I stood wait
In'. She seemed to waver when she
got inside the door. I took a step to
ward her V put out my arms. She
looked at me, then she come to me, an'
J held her.
"She didn't make a sound for a long
time. As for me, I couldn't speak. I
was Jest as sure then's I was afterward
that I never should hold her in my
arms ag'in. The first thing I said,
finally, was:
" 'I was with Tom Merle in his new
house last night.'
"She gave a little cry 'n' clung closer.
" 'Did he tell you?' she arst.
" 'He didn't tell me anything much;
fcnly he's rich now.'
"'Why didn't he tell? Why didn't
tie tell?' she cried out.
"I wouldn't help her. I felt cruel. I
wanted to kill her. After a long time
he lifted her head from my breast 'n'
tepped away from me.
"I jest stood with my arms hangln'
iflown 'n' looked at her. It's terrible to
love anybody's I loved ber then.
" 'I'm goin' to marry Tom Merle,' she
caid.
" 'Because you want to be rich?'
1 '"Yes.
"My throat was so dry I had to be
client. I wasn't going to plead with
her. I couldn't do it.
"As soon as my voice came I said 'I
guessed I better be goin'.' I turned.
I stumbled onto my hat that I'd
dropped on the floor. I stooped to
pick Jt up. Somehow I wag blind 'n'
couldn't seem to see the door. When I
did get my hand on the latch she said:
" 'Alf.'
"She was standing right there, with
fter eyes on me.
" 'Shall you marry Merle?' I arst.
1 "She twisted her hands together. She
tipened her Hps; but I didn't hear what
she said.
" 'Shall you marry Merle?' I said
' loud.
"She nodded her head.
"I opened the door V I got into the
street some way.
"AJ1 the way home I had a powerful
Iwish to kill Merle 'n Euth, 'n' then
myself. I'd strangle them, 'n' then put
a bullet Into my head. I went over
'n' over it. I was so took up with my
thoughts I didn't git out nt the right
cleepo, but was carried past, 'n' had to
rival k ten miles home. When I did git
home I went right to bod 'n' slept like
log all night.
"Next day I couldn't work hard
'nongh. I was thankful to God that I
stopped thlnkln of stranglin' them
two.
"But at the end of a month when
Merle 'n' Ruth was married 'n' went to
live in their new house, another idea
ome into my mind, 'n' I couldn't git it
out.
"Yon see it's for this idea I begun
to tell you this, V I didn't mean to
make a love story out of It, but it kind
mt seems as it I had; 'n' I hate love
stories.
"I used to drive by the Stearns house,
as we called it, twice every day.
Sometimes I seen Euth in the yard
JWlth Tom, tout she never looked round,
though Tom used to swing his cap 'n'
call out:
, "'Hullo, Alf!'
r "You see hs didn't know I had any
serious feelin.' 'bout Euth. I don't .think
nobody did, but Euth's mother. I
never reckoned even her father knew.
"It was tough when I'd see urn
there's I went by.
"One time when Tom come out to
send a package by express, when he
banded up the bnndle, something come
tato my mind so strong I'd like tb have
toppled off my seat.
"I s'pose I'd borne things 'bout's
long's I conld.
"I would burn down that great
Ctearns house. I wouldn't see it no
longer. I didn't cjjre who burned in it.
I would do it
"You can't think what a queer kind
f a joy that thought gave me. P'raps
jou'n say 'twas a hellish joy; p'raps
'twas, Anyway I didn't think of any
thing else all the way over 'n' back
rwith the stage. Ii was Jest's If I had
found n prize, or ,. letblng like that,
I never thought about its being wicked
or a crime or anything of that kind.
I was swallered up in the idea. I
didn't know I was a bad kind of mnn.
Everybody'd have said there wa'n't a
likelier feller In the whole town. I
sever "once thought of .resisting the
temptation; it didn't seem a thing to
resist.
"I didn't want to see anyone. I
wanted to be by myself 'n' to think it
over.
"It was a Joy to plan ovor n' over
how I'd do it. I thought of a good
many ways; but I was goin' to take
time 'n' not decide on any one way
right off. I set the night Jest ten day
ahead. I'd do it on the midnight be

tween the 11th and 12th of the month.
Jest as soon as I'd settled that I begun
to be cheerful.
"The days before the 11th went like
a flash, I fell you. When the time
come I didn't know any better way
than to git into the suller with some
kiudlin's and kerosene. I knew bow,
for I had examined.
"The wind begun to rise when the
sun set That was good for me. I was
In high spirits at supper. I wondered
why mother kep' looking at me so. She
said my eyes didn't 'pear Jest right to
her. I laughed to myself when I went
upstairs to bed that night, at 0 o'cloek.
"How the wind whistled about 'n'
how the pine trees lashed theirselves!
I thought I'd have a nap 'fore 12. I
had put the kindlin's 'n' the oil all
ready in the woodhouse 'g'inst I need
ed 'era.
"With such a plan in my head, would
you thought I could slept? I didn't, at
first. I lay in my bed with the clo'es
drawn up over my ears, thinkln', think
in'. I don't know how 'twas, but my
plan seemed to satisfy me. I kep'
thlnkin' how Tom Merle looked when
I seen htm last. I wondered If he'd
be burned to death, he'n his wife.
What if ho sh'd die. 'n' I should save
his wife? But I didn't reckon on that
The wind kep' right on, shriekin' like
a thousand wild boasts. My bed kinder
rocked, 'n' it rocked me to sleep. Any
way I went to sleep thinkin' jest how
I'd creep out, so's not to rouse mother.
"You soe, I was dead tired. I'd
worked like a tiger for the last two or
three days, 'n' hadn't slep' any. Well,
I didn't wake up till there was a strip
of sunlight lying right across my bed.
The sun had been up a half-hour. I
couldn't make it out I was stoopld.
I threw my feet outer bed n sat star
in'. How could I have slep' so?
"There wa'n't a bit of wind stirrin'
now. I hurried on my clo'es, 'n the
first thing I did was to go out to the
shed. My klndlln 'n' my oil-can wa'n't
there.
"I stood lookin at the place where
they'd been. There were marks of
muddy feet, 'bout half dry, 'n' there
was my rubber boots, splashed 'n' half
dry, too. It had ben rainy lately, 'a'
the roads was full of puddles.
'I was pretty down. I didn't feel's
if I was sure of anything.
'I was leanin' up against the wall in
the woodhouse when I seen mother go
cross the road to our neighbor's for
the milk.
'When Rhe come barb she looked
kinder excited. Seeln' me she stopped
at the open door with her tin quart in
her hand.
" 'I didn't know's yon was up, she
said. 'Did you hoar nothiu' in the
night?
" 'Nothin' but wind,' I answered.
"'That's what I told um, she said;
'It blew so we couldn't hear the bells if
they'd ben under our noses.'
'It always took so long for her to
come to the point.
" 'Bells?' I said. I wanted to shake
her. I begun to tremble.
" 'Yes; they rung both the meetin'-
house bells; but, lend, what could they
do? Awful fire! The Stearns house
burnt to the ground in no time in such
a gale. The work of a incend'ry, they
say. I'm goin' to got breakfast right
away. Don't sec to your hosses till
you've et'
"She went in, V I heard her setthV
the table. I didn't move till she called
me; 'n then, instld of goin' into the
kitchen, I went up-stairs 'n' But down
on my bed. I couldn't seem to sense
things. The Stearns house burnt down!
And I didn't do It! Who done it? Yes,
who'd got ahead of me 'n' done it? I
kep' tryln' to think clear, but I couldn't
"I heard mother call me again: then
she come up the stairs. I was so tr(ed
with ber I could have pushed her
way; but I didn't stir.
"'Alf,' she said, 'the coffee's gittin'
cold. I s'pose you're struck all of a
heap. So be I. They say there wa'n't
nobody killed; but Tom Merle resked
his life, 'n' got awful hurt glttin' his
wife out Come, the coffee'll be spiled.
"She would stan' there till I started,
n' I had to go down 'n' drink the
coffee. But I couldn't eat 'n' I couldn't
even try. Mother kep sayln' 'twouldn't
help noth not to eat; n' she didn't
wondrr I was struck of a heap.
"Jest as I couldn't bear it no longer,
'n' bad shoved back from the table,
the outside door was opened, 'n' Bill
Gurney come in.
"He looked nt me as if he was sur
prised to see me, somehow. Bill was
the constable in our village; but I
didn't think of that then.
"Mother offered him a cup of coffee,
but he said he was in a hurry, 'n' they
wanted me down there, noddln' toward
the settlement
"I slipped on my coat 'n' was ready.
Mother begun to question him 'boat
the fire; but he couldn't stop to talk.
"I thought 'twas mighty odd he
should put bis hand through my arm as
we walked down the road, bnt I let
him. I didn't speak nor hs didn't, till
Jest's we turned onto the main street
Then he looked at me so strange, 'n' hit
roice shook a little as he said:
" 'I never was so sorry to do a thing
in my life, Alf. I don't understand it
I don't understand it I hope some
thin'll come out. I can't believe It'
"I told him I didn't know what he
was talkln' about.
"He shut bis mouth tight and didn't
say anything more.
"You better believe I grew more 'n'
more dazed.
"I saw a crowd round where the
Stearns houso was.
"Some of the men left 'n come along
with us, all of um lookin' curiously at
me.
"What do you think It all meant?
"They'd took me up for settiu' that
fire; 'n me asleep in my bed all night,
"I felt exactly as If I'd done it. But
I hadn't, you see; had I? 'Fore God,
I can't to this day git to the rights of
that question.
"They'd found my tin can 'bout a rod
from the fire. It had my name
scratched on to it so's the grocer'd
know it when lie took it to fill it.
"Worse'n that; I was seen with a
bundle of wood 'n' that can goin' into
the back gate of the Stearns place 'bout
an hour 'fore the blaze come out. N'
I was seen runnin' across the fields to
ward home. It was moonlight by 12
o'clock, 'n' dear's a bell.
"I was in my shirt-sleeves 'n' trowsls,
'n' no lint, when I was seen last. My
hat was found near the house that was
burnt. It was my hat, no mistake.
"I remembered the half dry mud on
my boots that wore kicked off in the
woodhouse.
"What do you make of It? It was a
clear case enough. I hadn't no de
fense. How could I have? I got a
lawyer Jest to please molher she was
'bout wild. But my lawyer couldn't
do much. He tried to git up an enten
uatin' plea that I did it in my sleep;
but folks wa'n't goin' to swalles no
such stuff as that. How could I blame
em? I didn't
"It was proved as plain as day that
I set fire to the Stearns house, an' I
bad to go to prison.
"I never seen my mother after I was
sentenced. She had a fever an' died.
That took hold of me for a spell; but it
wore off some.
"You see I never said a word to any
one how I'd planned to burn that house
till years after. Do you think I did it?
You do? Well, I expect I did; but it
was unbeknownst to me.
"A minister told me the guilt was on
my soul when I planned it. I dunno
'bout that. But let it go. We can't
know the rights of it.
"I must tell you what happened after
I'd ben in prison a year.
"I was told to go into the visitors'
room as some one wanted to see me.
I didn't guess who It was. There sat
a woman with a thick veil on. If her
veil had been twice as thick I should
have known the turn of her shoulders.
The eight made me faint. I leaned up
against the wall. I didn't try to speak.
She didn't speak either, for several
minutes. She got up from her chair
'n stood holdln' onto the back of it.
" 'Take off your veil,' I said; 'n' she
did.
"God! what makes a man love so?
There she was very white, 'n' lookin' at.
me with them eyes that killed me.
" 'I couldn't help comln', she said.
'It's ben the one thing I've wanted to
do since you've ben here. I wanted to
tell you I knew you done It, 'n' I
didn't blame you. Yes, you dono it;
n' I forgive you.
"Her eyes kep' on me so's I couldn't
be rough's I'd meant to be.
" 'You forgive me?' I said. 'That s a
queer thing for you to come to me to
say.
'Yes, she repeated, 'I should for
give you anything you did. 'Tain't
likely I should expect you to forgive
me. I can't ask it I can't ask it'
ner voice began to quiver. She
stopped. She turned her face away.
"I stood np there like a stake stuck
in the ground. All I could do was to
look at her. I didn't reckon I should
ever set eyes on her ag'in. And I ain't
What was the use of tellin' her that
I didn't do that deed; leastways that I
didn't know I done it? I knew in my
heart I had planned and meant it.
"After a while she said she must go,
n would I say good-bye? She held out
her hand. I took it. I didn't speak.
My throat was shut up. It was ail I
could do to breathe.
She went out of the room. I neard
something fall In the passage. I heard
somebody say, 'She's fainted.' I was
tnken back to my cell.
"That was a long while ago. I think
of It a good deal, 'n' I'm powerful sorry
for the feller that went through it As
I set here by this popple swamp it don't
rightly seem as if 'twas me.
"Last year when I was pickin berries
on the upland yonder, I come upon a
yonng gal. She didn't see me at first,
but I seen her 'n I had a instant of

was the gal you love, young man. She

Lack of Sardines This Tear.
There will be a lack of sardines this
year for the consumers, and probably a
famine among the fisher-folk in Brit
tany. Six hundred fishing boats, which
were expected to return to Douarncnez
full of sardines, came back empty,
with the exception of about fifty.
These fifty vessels bad only small hauls
in their holds. The bait used by the)
fishermen, which comes from New
foundland, is also very dear In Brit
tany, costing 47t, or nearly f2, the
ton. Each boat requires a ton of bait
daily. It is now thought that the pres
ent sardine fishing season will be the
worst ever experienced by the fisher
men sf Brittany. London Telegraph.

GUARD FORJMBY'S BED.
The means of keeping a baby or even
older child in bed after it has been ten

mother Is one which is a matter of
concern to parents. Children are all
prone to toss or roll, nnd painful acci
dents are often the result. A great
deal of gray matter bus been expend
ed in various means of fastening the
youngsters in their beds, but such
schemes are frequently a source of
danger in themselves, particularly
when rope or cord is used.

- Where Hebrew Is an Innovation.
Yiddish is an archaic and corrupt
form of German extensively spoken by
Jews in many countries besides Ger
many itself. A startling instance of
its popularity is given by a writer in
the "Jewish Chronicle." In Jerusalem
he met "a worthy man who denounced
me for being unable to converse with
blm In Yiddish. 'You are no Jew,' he
protested, 'for you do not know the
Jewish language.' I answered that
Hebrew was the Jewish language and
that I was quite willing to try to speak
to him In It. His rejoinder was: 'I
have no patience with this newfangled
Idea of speaking Hebrew In Jerusa
lem.' " London Globe.

"Food that fits is better than a gold

"Before I commenced to use Grape

worse infliction from catarrh of the
stomach than I had for years.
"I could eat nothing but the very
lightest food and even that gave me
great distress.
"I went through the catalogue of pre
pared foods but found them all (except
Grape-Nuts) more or less Indigestible,
generating gas in tbe stomach (which
in turn produced headache and various
other pains and aches), and otherwise
unavailable for my use.
"Grape-Nuts food I have found easily
digested and assimilated, and it has re
newed my health and vigor and made
me a well man ngaln. The catarrh of
the stomach has disappeared entirely
with all Its attendant Ills, thanks to
Grnpe-Nuts, which now is my almost

THE LABOR WORLD.
A training school for carpenters has
been started by the Beading Carpen
ters' Union.
These are the days when no really
skilled laborer in New York is seeking
a job. In fact, there's more work in
town for such men than they can do.
The Pattern Makers' League of North
America, in sesion at Pittsburg, Pa.,
raised the assessment of the members
rrom twenty-nve to nrry cents a week.
Among the propositions defeated at
the recent convention of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union was a reso-1
lution declaring against the National
Guard.
A general strike in tbe electrical
works at Berlin was ordered; many
employes of the power companies
Joined tbe movement, and the street
car service was hampered.
Sympathetic strikes in Chicago prob
ably will be more prevalent in tbe near
future through an alliance between the
teamsters and the railway freight
handlers. The name of tbe new fed
eration is the Shipping Trades Alli
ance. Six thousand union carpenters in
Boston and its vicinity have bad their
wages advanced twenty-eight cents a
day. The change becomes operative
under a decision of Judge George L.
Wentworth, of the Municipal Court,
as arbitrator, given about a month ago.
The Master Carpenters' Association
has agreed to accept 'the Judge's de
cision. The Putlloff Iron Works, which have
continued as tbe principal source of
Industrial disorders in St Petersburg
since the beginning of the movement
started by Father Gapon, were finally
closed, after a two weeks' warning to
that effect A small crowd of work
men aud agitators attempted to make
'a demonstration, and a bomb was
thrown, which failed to explode. The
manifestants were dispersed ty Cos
sacks.
