Things went on aa before. The trial was let for May. The dis trict attorney's office had all the things we Imd found In the house that Mon day afternoon-the stained towel, the broken knife and Its blade, the slipper that had been floating in the parlor and the rope that had fastened my boat to the staircase. Somewhere wherever they keep auch things was the headless body of a woman, with a hand missing, and with a curious scar across- the left breast The slip of paper, however, which I had found behind the baseboard, was sail In Mr. Hokombe's f possession, nor bad be mentioned it to the police. Mr. Holcombe had not come back. Be wrote mi twice asking me to hold his room, once from New York and once from Chicago. To the second let ter he added a postscript: - - - Have net found what I wanted, but am getting warm. U anr news, eddreaa m at Dee MolnM, la., central aeUvery. It. It was nearly the end ot April when I saw Llda again, I had seen by the newspapers that she and her mother were coming hone. I Wondered If she had heard from Mr. Howell, for I had not, and I wondered, too, If she would send for me again. But she came herself, on foot, late one afternoon, and, the school teacher being out, I took her into the parlor bedroom. She looked thinner than be. You'll Crow Over "GETS-lf for Corns!

"He may be out of town searching for a better position," I tried to com fort her, "He .wants to have some thing to offer more than himself," "1 only want him," she said, looking at me frankly, "i don't know why I tell you all this, but you are so kind, and I must talk to some one." Bhe sat there In the cozy corner the schoolteacher had made, with a por tiere and some cushions, and I saw she was about ready to break down and cry. I went over to her and took her hand, for she was my own niece, al though she didn't suspect It, and I had never had a child of my own. But after all, I could not help her much. I could only assure her that he would come back and explain every thing and that he was all right and that the last time I had seen him he had spoken of her and had said she was "the best over." My heart fairly yearned over the girl, and I think she felt It for she kissed me shyly when she was leaving. With the newspsper flies before me It Is not hard to give the details of that sensational trial. Jt commenced on Monday, the 7th of May, but it was late Wednesday when the Jury was finally selected. I was at the court house early on Thursday, and io was Mr. Reynolds. The district attorney made a short speech. "We propose, gentlemen, to prove that the prisoner, Philip Ladley, murdered his wife," he said in part "We will show first that a crime was committed; then we will ahow a mo tive for this crime, and finally we ex pect to show that the body washed ashore at Sewickley is the body of the murdered woman and. thus establish beyond doubt the prisoner's guilt" at that thnej" "I thought fee was auretr." ' "Now, Mrs. Pitman, tell us about the following morning." "I saw Mr. Ladley at a quarter be fore 7. He said to bring breakfast for one.' His wife bad gone away. I asked if she was not 111, and he said no; that she had gone away early; that he had rowed ber to Federal street and that she would 'be back Saturday. It was shortly after that that the dog Peter brought in one of Mrs. Ladley's slippers, water soaked." "You recognized the slipper?" "Positively. I had seen It often." -"What did you do with itr "I took It to Mr. Ladley "What did he sayr ' " "He said at first that It was not hers. Then be said if it was she would never wear it again and then added be cause it was ruined." . "Did he offer any statement as to where his wife was?" "No, sir; not at that time. Before he had said she had gone away for a few days." "Tell the Jury about the broken knife." "The dog found it floating In the par lor with the blade broken." "You had not left It downstairsr - "No, sir. I had used it upstairs the night before and left it on a mantel of the room I was using as a temporary kitchen." "Was the door of this room locked?" "No. It was standing open." "Were you not asleep In this room?" "Yes." "You heard no one come in?" "No one-untll Mr. Reynolds roused me." . "Where did you And the blade?" "Behind the bed In Mr. Ladley's room." "What else did you find in the room?" , "A blood stained towel behind the washstand; also my onyx clock was missing." "Where was the clock when the Lad leys were moved up into this room?" "On the mantel. I wound it Just be fore they came upstairs." "When you saw Mrs. Ladley on Sun day did she ssy she was going away?" "No, air." "Did you see any preparation for a Journey?" 'The black and white dress was laid out on the bed and a small bag. She said she was taking the dress to the theater to lend to Miss Hope." "Is that all she said?" "No. She said she'd been wishing ber husband would drown; that he'was a fiend." I could see that my testimony had made an imnresslon. - - (Continued Tomorrow, Every Home Needs This Great Remedy No Home Can Afford to Be Without a Mild, Reliable : Laxative-tonic.
