..en I came to I was. lying in dark
ness, and the stillness was absolute. , 1
&an&ged to make out that my prison
s probably the dumbwaiter shaft
the basement kitchen. I had land
ed onf top of the slide, and I seemed to
be tied in a knot The revolver was
under me, and. if it had exploded dur
ing the fall it had done no damaged
I had fallen feet first, evidently, and
then crumpled up unconscious, for one
of my ankles was throbbing. It was
some time before -I could stand erect,
and even by reaching I could not touch
the doorway above me. It must have
taken five minutes for my confused
senses to remember the wire cable and
to tug at it I was a heavy load for the
slide, accustomed to nothing weightier
than political dinners, but with much
creaking I got myself at last to the
floor above and stepped out, still into
darkness, but free.
I held the revolver, and I lighted the
whole lower, floor. But I found noth
ing in the dining room or the pantry.
Everything was iocked and -in good
order. A small alcove off the library
came next; it was undisturbed, but a
tabouret lay on its side and ' a half
dozen books had been taken from a
low bookcase and lay heaped on a
chair. In the .library, however, every-
"Speak up-or VU shoot!' I said.,
thing was confusion, pesk drawers
stood open, one of the linen shades had
been pulled partly off itsroller, a chair
had been drawri'tap to the' long ma
hogany table in the center of the room,
with the electric dome overhead, and
everywhere or chairs,' over the floor,
heaped in stacks on the table,8 were
papers."
After searching the lower floor and
finding everything securely locked, I
went upstairs, convinced the intruder
was still In the house. I made a sys-4
tenia tic search of every room, looking
into closets and under beds. I gave
up at last and, going down to tthe li
brary, made myself as comfortable as
I could and. waited for morning.
I heard Bella coming down the stairs ;
after. 7 some time; she, came slowly
with flagging, footsteps as if the slight
, est sound would send her scurrying to
the upper regions again. A little later
I heard her rattling the range in the
basement kitchen, and I went upstairs
and dressed. ,
1 4 was too tired to- have a theory
about the night visitor. I was impress
ed with only vone" thing that the ene
my or enemies of the late Allan Flem
ing evidently carried their antagonism
beyond' the grave.
I had my anke strapped with adhe
sive that morning by my doctor, and
it gave me no more trouble. But I
caught bims looking curiously at the
blue bruise on- my forehead where
.Wardrop had struck me with the chair
and at my nose, no longer swollen, but
mustard yellow at the bridge.
Margery and Edith came to the house
far about an hour, and went back to
. Fred's again. A cousin of the dead
man, a n elderly bachelor named Par
ker, appeared' and signified his willing
ness to take charge of the house dur
ing that day. - The very hush of his
voice and his black tie prompted Edith
to remove Margery from him as soon
as she could. -
It was Sunday, and I went to the of
fice only long enough to look over my
mail. In tha afternoon I had my first
conversation with Fred and Edith,
while Margery and the boys .talked
quietly in the nursery. They had tak
en a great fancy to her, and she was
almost, cheerful when she -was with
them
"Well," said Fred, "what was it
Jack? .Suicide?" -
.'I don't know," I replied bluntly..
"The; Times-Post says it was murder
and that they will prove it. And they
claim the police have been called off."
I said nothing of Mr. LIghtfoot and
his visit to the office, but I made a
mental note to see the Times-Post peo
ple , and - learn if I could what they
knew.
"I cannot help thinking that he de
served very nearly what he got," Edith
broke in, looking, much less vindictive
than her words. "When one thinks of
the rufn he brought to poor Henry But
ler and that Ellen has been practically
an invalid ever since,! can't be sorry
for him." ,
"What was the Butler story?" I ask-
"Henry Butler was treasurer of the
tte7 arid Mr Fleming washis' cash-
- - '
ier,""'said Edith. "Ivdbn' "know " just'
what the trouble was. But you re
memberthat Henry Butler killed him
self after he 'got out of the peniten
tiary, and Ellen has been in one hos
pital after .another. I would like to
have her come here for a few weaks,
Fred," she said appealingly. "She is. in
some sanitarium or other now, and we
might cheer her a little."
Fred groaned. "
i "Have' her if you like, petty,'1 he said
resignedly--"What about . this young
Wardrop, -Jack? It looks to me as-.if
the Times-Post reporter had a line on
him.". ' . -l ,
"Hush," Edith said softly. "He is
Margery's fiance, , and ehe might hear
you." ' " r't!.;- ;
"How do you know V ' Fred demand
ed. ; '.;
i "Look at her . engagement -ring,"
' Edith threw back triumphantly. "And
it's a perfectly beautiful solitaire too."
T caught Fred's eye on me and made
my escape as soon as I could on the
plea of going put to BeUwood." In the
hall upstairs I met Margery,
"I 6a w .Bella today,"! she said., "Mr.
Knox, will you tell me why . you stayed
up last night? Whit happened in the
house?" ; .
"I thought I heard ' some one in the
library,? I stammered, "but . t found
no one: ' . -.- v.v. i . '
"Is. that all the truth or only part of
it?" she asked. "Why do men always
evade issues with a ; woman?" Luck
ily, womanlike, she did not wait for a
reply. She closed the nursery; door
and stood with -her hand on the knob
looking down. . . f ''' - . - f
"I wonder what you1 believe about
all this?" she said. "Do you think
my father killed himself? Yotiwere
there; you know. If some one would
only tell me everything!" -
It seemed to me it was her right to
know. I told "her what had happened
at the ,White Cat. She heard ; me
through quietly.
' "And so the police have given up' the
case!" she said despairingly. "And if
they had not, Harry would have been
arrested." , t ,
"The police have not exactly given
up the case," I told her, "but there is
such a thing, of course,, as stirring up
a lot of dust and then running to cover
before it settles.- By the time, the pub
lic has wiped it out df its eyes and
sneezed it out of its nose and coughed
it out of its larynx, the dust has set
tled in 'a heavy layer, clews are oblifcf
erated and the public lifts its akirts
and chooses .' another direction.' The
P no thoroughfare' sign is Tip."
"Whoever killed ,my father and it
was murder, Mr. Knox whoever did
it is going free to save, a scandal. All
my friends" she smiled bitterly "are
afraid of the same thing. ' But I can
not sit quiet and think nothing can be
done. ' I must know, and you are the.
only one who seems willing to try to
find out." ' ;
So it was, that, when I left the house
I ' had been 'ODmmissioned by , the girl
J. loved for it had come to that to
clear her lover of her father's murder
and so give him back to her, not in so
many words,, but I was to follow up
the: crime, and the rests followed. And
I was morally certain of two things
first, that her lover was not worthy of
her; and, second and more to the point,
that innocent or guilty, he was indi
rectly implicated in. the crime.
I had promised her also to see Miss
Letitia that day if I could, and I turn
ed over the events of the preceding
night as I walked toward the station.
Bella had 'told Margery that I had
been up all night. Could Bella But
I dismissed the thought as absurd
Bella, ' who had scuttled to bed la a
panic of fright, would 1 never have
dared the lower floor alone, and Bella,
given all the courage in the world,
could never have moved - with the
swiftness and light certainty of "my
midnight prowler. -'-- :
But, after all, I did not go to Bell
jwood.. . I .met Hunted on my- way to
the station, and he turned around and
walked with me. ,
"So you've lain down on the case,"
I said.
He grumbled something unintelligi
, ble.
"Of course,"' I persisted, "being - a
I simple and uncomplicated case of sui
cide, there was nothing in it anyhow.
; If it had , been' a murder under per
' cullar circumstances"
He stopped and gripped my arm.'
"For 10 cents," he said gravely, "I
- would tell the chief and a few others
what I think of them, and then I'd go
' out and get full."
"Not on 10 cents."
. "I'm" going out of the business!"-he
; stormed. "I'm going to drive a gar
bage wagon. It's - cleaner than this
job. Suicide! X never saw a cieaner

you know Burton of the Times-Post?"
i '2j2iJ'Te heard of .him." r "
., he's your man. They're dead
against the ring, and Burton's been
given the case. You two get togeth
er." He paused at a corner. "Goodby,"
he said dejectedly. "I'm off to hunft
some bbys that" have been stealing
milk bottles. That's about my siz
these days." He turned around, how
ever, before he had gone many steps
and came back. '
"Wardrop has been missing since
yesterday afternoon," he said. . "That
is, he thinks he's missing. We've got
him all right."
I went to the Times-Post office. Bur
ton came in in a moment, a red haired
young fellow, with a slfcort thick nose
and a muggy skin. He was rather
stocky in build, and the pugnacity of
his features did not hide the shrewd
ness of bis eyes. . I introduced myself,
and at my name his perfunctory man
ner changed.
. "Knox!" he said. "I called you last
night over the 'phone." ''
I liked Burton. There was some
thing genuine about him. After War
drop's kid glove finish, he was a relief.

CXTENNIAL OF THE
BATTIiE OF SALAMANCA.
One hundred years ago the French
troops under Gen. Marmont -and the
British forces under Wellington faced
each other near the ancient city .of
Salamanca, in Spain,, and engaged in
skirmishes preceding a test of strength
that must be disastrous for one side
or the other. The four low hills, be
side the river Tormes, on which Sala
manca Js situated, echoed to the spite
ful roll of musketry, and the roar. of
cannon. ' Marmont' b imperial master.
Napoleon, was far away, leading the
disastrous advance against Russia,
and it was the task of the French
general to save Spain to the empire
and protect it against the steady, bull
dog advance of .Wellington. Marmont
resolved on a bold stroke that would
win or lose all. With his army he
took,up a- strong position opposite the
hills of Arapilez, a few mile from
where Salamanca slept - beneath the
sunny skies of Spain. On-the follow
ing day, just, a century ago tomorrow,
the dogs of war were unleashed in
earnest, and . the battle was on. , It
had no sooner commenced than Mar
mont, seeing a weakness on the Brit
ish right, dispatched his left wing to
outflank Wellington's army. . The
f uture conquerer of Napoleon was not
caught napping. From his position
on the hights .of Arapilez, Welling
ton perceived the widening rift be
tween the enemy's center and left,
and at once knew that victory -was
within MUs, grasp. Turning tp the
Duke of Alva, he cried: "Behold, I
have ' ihemlL Marmont ,is lost!" - The
British main column was formed -into
a giant wedge and driven into the
gap between the French columns.
Marmont's forces were cut in two, as
if. sliced 'by a knife, and Marmont
realized that the- day was lost, The
French; center crumpled up before the
attack, but the left, , commanded by
Gen. Mauoune, turned and gallantly
fought its way back to the village of
Arapilez. Marmont fought valiantly,
and was wounded so severely that he
lost an arm. Bennett, his successor
in command, was also wounded, and
forced to retire. Gen. Clause!, a
beardless youth, next took charge of
the forlorn hope, but the odds against
him, were overwhelming, and he or
dered a. retreat. The French aband
oned the field in good order, under
the generalship of Clausel, and-fell
back on Burgos. There he was join
ed by King Joseph and 15,000 troops,
but it was too late. Wellington was
victor, and the, campaign was at an
end. The French had lost; and Napo
leon was another step nearer Welling
ton ancr Waterloo. .King Joseph went
to Madrid, but was soon forced to
flee to Valencia, and on the twelfth
or August the victorious Wellington
triumphantly entered old Madrid. For
a short time the French, reinforced
by Soult and Jourdan, were able to
regain control of the capital, but the
battle of - Salamanca a century ago
really , marked the end of the Napo
leonic - dynasty in Spain." The British
losses in that battle numbered more
than 5,000 men, while the French
loss was nearly thr$e times that, num
ber, including 7,000 taken prisoners.
Salamanca, ...the scene of the con
flict, is about 110 miles northeast of
Madrid. The city Was once the seat
of Europe's greatest university, which
in .the sixteenth century had 8,000
students, while today there are not
more thah OO..- The city is still one
of the most medieval in appearance
in the world, , and has many buildings
dating from the fourteenth and fifteenth.-
centuries. - The city walls,
pierced by ten gates, still remain, and
the ancient bridge across the Tormes.
built by the Romans, remains an ob-'
ject of interest to visitors. The town
was captured by Hannibal in 222 and
has been the scene of hundreds of
momentous battles besides that de
cisive conflict fought there a century
ago.

OF PRESIDENT, IS 48
Although she is celebrating her 48th
birthday, Mrs. Grover Clevf land the
only woman who married a President
of the United States durine- hta
of office, could really pass for 35. The
widow of the only Democratic Presi
dent of recent years. recently came in
for a great deal of criticism or.ooo.

.Mrs. Cleveland has decided views nn
the education of the young and has
demonstrated tne truth of her theo
ries in her own offspring. Children.
she declares, should be permitted to
develop like flowers in the open and
-wSaer natural conditions. Too many
of the schools of today, .. she .asserts,
are hot houses of forced culture, de
veloping only external and paying lit
tle attention to the real ' essentials of
body and mind.
"Development of the Individuality
of the child Is the important thing in
education," Mrs. Cleveland told me.
"The factory system of mental and

out every child after a certain pat
tern, is worse than useless. Person
ality and individuality are the im
portant things, especially in a democ
racy. Of late years, .teachers have
discovered the importance: of seeking
and developing , the natural trend of
the child, and this discovery has
worked a revolution in modern educa
tion. The most important years, are
those in which the child is laying the
foundation for a theory of life that
will dominate all its future." .
Mrs., Cleveland has , expressed her
ideas on education in a letter she
wrote to the school-children of : New
jersey, especially to those about to
enter high school, in the course . of
which she said: - i"'-r
"You have had a fifte chance to
learn many things out of books, come

and to.learn from your teachers and

further, I congratulate yoi that you
have , successfully accomplished all the
hard work which the grammar schools
have required of you. Some of you
are glad thatit "is over some of .you
are sorry; but I believe there is not
one but goes from this stage of school
life with some feeling of regret, glad
as you are to have finished and eager
as you are to go on. . '
"And I want to ask, you if you do

you do not see wny i inuiR.n ia o.
and also to ask you, each one, to tell
why you personally have this little
ache of regret in your heart. Perhaps
if you think over all the time since
you began your grammar school work
and reflect on the things you have
loved most in yoifr study, in your
play, in your friendships you will find
the answer to my query, and that an
swer will tell me something I ; want
very much to know." v ' . .

jPittsburgh, July 22. Manager Mc
Graw, who is generally willing to per
mit others to .do the talking about
baseball. ''was in a mood Saturday to
talk,', probably because ' he had been
celebrating- his 1 tenth anniversary as
manager of the Giants. What he said
was a surprise to - the listeners. The
players and eme fans were sitting
on the veranda at the Hotel Schenley,
overlooking Forbes Field, which lies
at the edge Of Schenley" Park."
"Do you see that ball park?" said
MoGraw. "I am going on record as
saying it is the finest in the country.
Well, I. could have had the same field
had I desired or had I been able to
accept the offer.
"It was , back in 1899 when Capt.
Kerr, then owner of 'the old .Pitts
burgh club, gave me an opportunity
to get in on the ground floor. He of
fered to sell me the Pittsburgh base
ball franchise, players, &c, for the
sum of $35,000. Of course, you would
not believe it, when players like
O'Toole and Kelly cost almost as
much now as the franchise in the Na
tional league would have cost me at
that time.
"I was manager of the Baltimore
team and a player then, and under
contract with the club, and I did not
know what to do. I could not get
away from the Baltimore club and I
did not think I could raise that much
money. Ypu know I was not much
more than a kid then and $35,000 was
an awful lot of money to raise, at
least I thought it was.
"I asked "the captain to give me. a
little time to think it over. I went
back home and soon had a few friends
in consultation on the : matter, and I
was surprised to learn that I could
raise ten times the amount. I did a
lot of hustling and - tried to get my
release from the club, so I could take
up .the- purchase of the Pirates with
the. old owner. Nothing doing on the
get-away thing! I then tried to buy
my release, but they gave me the
laugh. I could not get away, so had
to give it up. When I look at that
field and. think that I might have been
the owner, I often feel blue."
