TTlie following slory is based upon fact. It n lutes ihe eper;e.ice of tho lawyer for the prosecution in tho rema kublscase of W arren Sturgis, tried twcnty-fio years ago for the mur der of his un:lo, holomou Stuig s, a wealthy resident of Dixon, lllj Fatigued in mind and body, sorely perplexed by the intricate character of the conflicting testimony to wh ch 1 had listened, I lefithe Dixon Court House at 5 o'clock and went to a restaurant for a cup of coffee. I could not withdraw my mental fac ult es from the conflict of the day, nor lose for a moment the sad, re proachful gaze of the prisoner. I had felt almost a vengeful spirit at first, because of the unusual atrocity of thccircumstan.es. Let me detail them as brie 'y as possible. Warren Sturgis was a young man vho had grown up n the town, and was well liked, albeit he had a quick teinper,iwh ch accompanies a warm, generous dispos'tion. If he offended anyone in his anger, he asked for giveness as soon as li s anger had cooled. He was open and above board in allhisdealings.and although UNTIL HALF TIIiC VILLAGE &TOOD BY HIS BEDSIDE. he had not distinguished himself by the accomplishment of any energetic work in his twenty-four years, he had not been an idler. It was acknowl edged on all sides that his uncle, for whose dastardly murder he was being tried, had been really an impediment to the.young man's success Old Mr. Sturgis had kept the boy dangling about him, waiting on him, and studying how to humor his caprices. The old man had also kept him well under, and nagged him onstantiy, interfering with li is pleasures and unsettling him in his business; and Jt was said by the old housekeeper, who was the only other inmate of the house, and almost in her dotage, that they quarreled every night but made up the next morning. Old fcolomon Sturgis was not on speaking terms with his only brother, many years younger than himself, and when he was dead it. was found that he had not mentioned him in his will, but left all bis estate without reserve to Warren St orgis, his nephewj The manner of t ie old man's death was bungling and frightful. The housekeeper testified to hearing a noise in the night. She said the uncle and nephew bad qnarrcled as usual, and she heard the young man say, "I'll get even with you yet," as he went up stairs to hus room. Later on, she had heard .-ounds of strange imp:rt, doors open and shut, but had felt no alarm, supposing it was War ren going in an. I out. Young Sturgis claimed that he had heard nothing, hut swore he slept soundly the whole night, not awak ing in tho morning unt 1 half the vil lage stood by his bedside to tell him that his uncle bad been found dead, murdered, and his lody thrown into i well which was common property vith the neighbors. "Dead!" The boy flung himself Into his clothes and would have rushed from the room but t he detain ing hand of the I cputy Sheriff pre vented him. , "It's only a matter of form, Warren: we none of us believe you had any thing to do with it," he said, but he slipped the handcuffs on him as he said it. The truth was, everybody believed him guilty, because there had been no robbery, and he was the only one to whom the old man's death would be a lonerlt, and it was supposed that he had struck and killed him in a temper, and then thrown the body into the well to make it look like ao accident. The horrible mutilation of the dead man's face, which made it almost unrecog nizable, was supposed to be due to abrasions received in tbe well. M- together th3 affair looked particu larly black for tho younjf man, who, if he had done the deed, deserved banjjine, since he would make no confession, and there were ho extenu atlng circumstances A few did not believe him guilty. ins sweetneart was one: a few of hi3 : younr friends and myseir, the lawyer ; for the prosecution, who had a long i familiaritywith criminal tactics 1 hesitated and doubted somewhat be- j caue of the lack of any but circum- ' stanti;il evidence and also from a ' careful stuay of the 3oung man h'm selri. If he had committed the crime, WOMAN IN BLACK ADVANCING TO SPEAK TO ME. , -t- he was also capable of plaving the hypocrite, but It seemed to me that his sorrow over the death of his rela tive was sincere. "Poor old man," he would say, "who could have borne him such. a grudge? I did not knew that he had an enemy in the world!" The defense was conducted by a lawyer retained by the brother of the murdered man, who seemed to hold no ill will to the nephew-heir. He did not believe the young man guilty and said so in a very impressive man ner. 1 had teen making my speech to the jury, addressing each man in turn, as was customary in our prac tice, but I had made no attempt at oratory or sensation, asking them to weigh the evidence well, taking into consideration all the attendant cir cumstances, and to deal justly with the prisoner, if they believed him guilty. Perhaps it was my quiet manner that impressed them, but 1 felt when I Hnished that I had convicted the prisoner, that their verdict would, without doubt, le "guilty of murder in the first degree," and I was for once sorry to see the ends of justice served, and that brings me to my cup of coffee and my retrospect of the Sturgis murder. It was danc when I left the restau rant or nearly so, but still light enough for me to see a woman in black advancing to speak to me as I walked homeward. "You aie Lawyer li ?" she said. "1 have something to say to you." "My good woman," I answered fret fu'.ly, "I cannot be stopped upon the street to attend to business. If you wish to see me you can do so to-morrow at my room in the Court House." "I must see you to-night," she re plied. Her voice was low, and she seemed to suffer from fatigue as she spoke. "Can you not give me a mo ment at your house?" "Not a moment," I said firmly. "I need rest and must not be dis turbed. Good-night, madam, and I walked on. 1 went home to my dinner alone 1 was a bachelor then and lay down on a lounge in my private office for the rest I sorely needed. In a few moments 1 lost consciousness and be gan to dream. I thought a bird was Hying about me; that I caught it and thrust it from the window, which I closed, that it began tapping on the pane with its bill in a regular succes sion of raps that sounded now near, now far. It annoyed me enough to waken me, and there were the raps continued, on the window and door, and all around me. I started to my feet with a distinct sensation of fear, and for a moment expected to see my dream-bird Hying towards ma Then a hesitating knock on the panels of the street door gave me a sense of re lief. Here was something tangible: the rest 1 had dreamed. 1 opened the door and saw the woman who had accosted me on the street. "Really, madam." 1 began, when she held up her hand to invoke si lence. "Hush; I come to you on a matter of life and death. You must hear me." and she quietly entered the room before I could close the door. It instantly occurred to me that this woman knew something about the murder of old Solomon Sturgis. "I must hasten I have only a mo ment," she said. "I came here to tell you that Warren Sturgis is not a murderer. He is innocent of the deed of which he is accused." "Your proof, madam." I answered; "proof is what we need, not asser tions of his innocence." "Y'ou shall have ample proof," she said slowly, "you have only to go to the home of Clifford Sturgis aud order him to produce his brother Solomon, and you" will have the proof. " "What do you mean?'' "That Solomon Sturgis is not dead, but held a prisoner m the house of bis brother." "Then who was the dead man?" "That I do not know; but I have no time to talk further. What I tell you is true Open the door and let. me pass." Her voice became so faint, it was a mere breath. As I stepped forward to open the door at her whispered but imperative command, 1 said: "If this story is true, it is of the greatest importance, and I must see vou again immediately. Who afle you?" "I am Warren Stuigis' mother." And then I do not know what hap pened. It was as if someone had struck me a violent blow. Lights flashed before my eyes; there was a roar of surging waters ia my cars; the door had not opened, yet I waa in the room with these words beat" ng at my conscience: "I am Warren Sturgis' mother." Then followed a peaceful blink; My man found me lying there insem sible. and opened the door to give me air. He had seen no woman although he had remarked on hearing vo ces in my office. I dismis.-ed him and went to bedt declaring that I Was overworked, and had in consequence a fainting fit. But to myself the whole thing was an awful mystery. The singular behavior of that strange woman; my dream which nad pre ceded her coming, her remarkable story, and the manner of her leaving was it all a part of my dream? And more strange, more fearful still, the disclosure of her identity. For this woman, whom I seemed to have known, was the coun terpart of her whom she declared herself to be. a.d I know for a cer tainty that the mother of .Warren Sturgis has lain in her grave for six or eight years. If I had been talking with her, I had held speech with a dead woman. I tossed and turned until midnight, then I routed up my man, bade him harness a swift horse to a light wagon, and soon we were speeding over the road in the direc tion ot Grand La Tour. It seemed a long time before 1 stopped the flying horse at the farm gate, and was wrapping at the front door of the one-story tottage, where a single light burned dimly. "What's wanted?" asked a trem bling voice the voice of Clifford Stur gis himself. I told him who I was and to my surprise he readily opened the door, and listened to what I had to say. It was very brief. I ordered him as one in authority, and whose information 'could not be disputed, "to ptoduce the living man, Solomon Sturgis, He only asked one question: "How did you know he was here?" "A woman told me," I answered with a solemn voice and manner. "Oh, then you have seen her?" h said, and with that he took up the light in his trembling hand, and led the way to a room in a d stant wing of the cottage. It was a good hiding place, dust and cobwebs everywhere, and among them in a small closet like room, but comfortable enough it; other respects, lay Solomon Sturgis, raging like a madman. Clifford Sturgis, as we soon found out: had abducted his brother, and substituted the body of a dead pauper, which he had dressed in his relative's clothes, in order to secure the payment of an "YOU SHALL IIAYE AMPLE PROOF," SnE SAID. insurance policy which he had held for many years on the old man's life. He became tired of keeping the as sessments paid and with the help of a stronger mind had evolved the plan of abduction and apparent murder. But it had never oc urred tn him that Warren miht le accused of put ting his uncle out of the way. He found himself caught in a network ol crime, and It is doubtful if he would ever have confessed his part in the matter if the boy had been convicted. There was a sensation, you may be sure, when Solomon Sturgis was led into the Dixon Court House, and every one received him as one raised from the dead. There was no one to call Clifford sturgis to account, save his outraged relatives, and he left that part of the country unmolested, and was heard of no more. Warren continued to live with his uncle, and when he married h s fa th- tul sweetheart they made their home there. The old man is dead now, and his strange story almost forgot1 ten, but 1 ask myself, twenty-five years after the event, who was the woman who came to me bearing the form and features of one long dead? Was she a part of my dream, and if so, whence came the dream that saved a man's life? And had I dreamed of seeing her on my way home, as well? Mrs. M. L. Rayne in Utica Globe. Diplomatic English. Most of the diplomats who are sent to Washington soon acquire some En glish. It is of different grades, how ever, and usually adapted specially tc the work to which the diplomat is tc le assigned. The socially inclined soon acquire the art of telling a g.rl she is good looking, and are able tc discuse the weather. Others remain for years and hardly go outside of the province of diplomatic politics in their English. This was demon strated by a story Mme. Lazo Arriaga, of the Guatemalan legation, tells ot her husband, the Minister from that country. She speaks perfect English, having lived for seven years in an American convent school. Although the Minister himself only began to study our language four months ago. he will talk politics in English foi hours without' his companions sus pecting that he has had only foui months' experience in thctongue;but a few days ago he had an engagement w.th the dentist. At the last mo ment he turned back to his wife, and in a tone of despair announced. "You must go with me, I don't know any thing about the American dictionary on teeth." and Madame had to go tc talk teeth. Kate Field Washington. "What caused your bookkeeiier'i downfall?"
