(Continued from page 6, column 4.) telT you just how it all happened. What led me to become a desperate conspirator, and?well, yes?a famous detective. Are you all ready for my confession?" She rested her hand on mine, and permitted my fingers to close over it, in a spirit of frank good fellowship. "Then listen; it may make you shudder in some of its blood-curdling details, and possibly you may consider my actions very unwomanly. Now just be quiet until I finish." Her eyes met mine earnestly, but I felt I could perceive a certain plead mg in ner uepuis. "I am Tom Longdale's sister Helen. As you doubtless know, financially there is no necessity for my seeking employment. Indeed I did not seek it, but was induced to accept this position at the request of Mr. Krantz, who has been a lifelong friend of my ' father's. I enjoy the work, however, and have been here now nearly three j- years. Adolph Krantz is a most lovable man, and I am devoted to his 4 service. He is an Austrian by birth, and has found it more or less difficult to get away from that influence. Much money from Europe passes through his hands in financing various schemes, and amoni? nthpr? this rpv.r>lntmnflrv fund was intrrsted to him. At first he accepted this in the ordinary course ?f business, without suspicioning its purpose, but. later learned how the money was being expended. The moment he became doubtful, Mr. Krantz absolutely severed all connections with these plotters and their schemes. While this was thoroughly understood officially, in Washington, where he reported his suspicion, certain circles, engaged in underhand work, still believed he could be'used for tlieir purposes." "Yet he accepted the trust?" "In a way, yes; but with perfectly loyal intent. As soon as word secretly reached him that he was to be thus used, he laid the full facts before the officials of this bank. I was present as his secretary, and learned then for the first time what I have already told you. They advised that he make the plot known immediately to the authorities at Washington. He was directed to accept the order, and thus,, through seeming co-operation, learn the details ' connected with it There was delay; for some reason Alva was not quite ready to go ahead, and refused to draw the money. Proof of conspiracy was lacking until this was consummated. Mr. Krantz, being afraid that he would hp followed if hp went azain to Wash Ington, delegated we to go, as I was entirely unknown. The Secret Service there outlined a plan designed to hurry matters. I was to be sent direct to these men?Alva, in particular ?with positive instructions from the higher powers in Washington to draw the money and get busy. As I speak Spanish easily, and took the name of a well-known female revolutioni ist now in this country, but unknown even to Alva, the task did not seem a specially dangerous one." She passed for a moment; her mind gathering up the odds and ends of narrative,. / ? She Did Not Move, or Glance Up. "It is not necessary tnat i go iur? ther into detail. I met Captain Alva as planned, and was taken to the place where his gang gathered. Krantz was there with the money, and my message compelled the Chilean to accept, and receipt for it Government age its were stationed in Jersey City to intercept him on his way back to New York. He never got far enough to fall into their hands; before he had driven four blocks he was murdered and robbed. The rest of the story you already know." "The money was actually in that valise, then?" "Some money was, but not all. We were afraid it might be opened before an arrest could be made. F?ach package had real money on the outa,. ?-Viorn/vtu-t* rtid nnt S1UC , OlLUgClLlCi UiC ciiiiWLiiv v?.v exceed fifteen hundred dollars, and these bills were all marked." "But you suspected Wine? I know of your call at his office." "I wondered if you did. Were you there then V "Yes, I followed you in." "I wish I had known; I would have ventured more than I dared to alone. I suspected?yes; but that was all. I possessed no facts, but I frightened . him so when I exhibited that hat-pin I felt absolutely convinced that lie was guilty." "You had no reason to believe he possessed such a weapon?" "None whatever; I merely took a chance. I think now the pin used belonged to Sarah Waldron, but how it came there can only be determined through a confession by her husband." Iltr eyes lifted again to mine, que3rionimrlv. and a bit anxious. "Was my course right or wrong, Philip Severn?" "Undoubtedly right, although 1 imagine few girls would have had the courage." "You believe in me still? in the woman?" My handclasp tightened, and her eyed dropped before the message she must have instantly read in minei "This has been a test of us both which we will never regret," I answered soberly, "for it has brought faith, hope, love; is this not true?" She did not move, or glance up, but I car.ght the whispered response of her lips. (THE END.) f SII> HATFIELD KILLED. West Virginia Gunman Falls to Assassin. Sid Hatfield's career in West Virginia ended yesterday on the courthouse steps of Welch, West Virginia. It remains for a coroner's jury to pass judgment as to who shall be held for trial on a charge of having fired the shot that ended the life of a picturesque figure in the industrial strife of .Mingo county. C. E.- Lively, a private detective, is being held pending: a verdict. Hatfield, former chief of police at Matewan and central fiaure in the trial early this year of more than a score of men charged in connection with the killing of a private detective 14 months ago, together with his friend, Ed Chambers, also*a defendant in that trial, fell as a result of pistol and shot wounds suffered as the two men were entering the little court house where Hatfield was to face trial on another shooting charge. According to persons near by Hatfield, with a party of friends, ap - J i. 1 ^ 41. ? proacneu me entrance to tne cuurthouse 'just before noon where they met Lively and a group of companions. Friendly greetings were said to have been exchanged, but a moment later those on either side were noticed to assume a hostile attitude. Loud talking was indulged in and this wa3 followed by the crack of pistol fire.- No one, however, could or would say who commenced shooting. Hatfield and Chambers were seen to fall. Examination revealed that Hatfield had been shot in the chest and Chambers in the head and breast. One of the guns carried by the Magnolia constable?witnesses said he carried two?had been discharged, it was said, by those who rushed forward.. All shells in the r\iet/-?1 n ra-rct orrcntT it tvo c cairi Tt Q stated further that Chambers had but one gun. Some of the shells in it also had been fired, *it was declared. The shootii^g, although creating some excitement, did not cause more than a flurry and the large crowd in Welch for the trial was dispersed quickly by local authorities. The charge of which Hatfield was to have been tried today was in connection with the shooting up of Mohawk, W. Va., about a year ago. Mrs. Sid Hatfield, who was formerly the wife of Mayor C. C. Testerman, one of those slain in the Matewan battle, which resulted in the deaths of seven private dectectives, and three citizens, was in Welch to attend court at the time. Her marriage to Hatfield was solemnized two weeks after the death of Matewan's chief executive. C. E. Lively was the "surprise" witness for the prosecution in the trial conducted in connection with the death of'Albert C. Felts, director of the band of private dectectives which had been sent to Matewan for tne purpose Ol evicting irnuers iauiilies from the houses of a coal company. This trial was the culmination of a street battle in the West Virginia mining town one year ago last May 19, When the battle started that afternoon the detectives had completed their work and were on their way from the hotel at which they had been stopping to the railroad station nearby. Immediately after the acquittal by a jury that had; listened to many weeks to testimony in the case, Hatfield and the codefendants returned to Matewan. Shortly thereafter Hatfield was remnvoH frnm the office of chief of no-1 lice and immediately elected as constable of the "Magnolia district, an office he retained to the time of his' death. Although only 2G years of age, Hatfield's name was known to almost every West Virginian and to many persons outside of the state, on account of frequent pistol episodes to which he had been a party. He was one of the witnesses recently called by the senate committee investigating industrial conditions in the Mingo coal fields. Renew your subscription today. PALMETTO FIELD XOTKS.

Ala.?Mrs. CL M. StesralL of near here, recently related the following Interesting account of her recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was sick three years in bed. suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just bad to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardul did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If you suffer as these women did* take Cardul. It may help you, too. At all druggists. E 85 I <C2 Why thi New Pe: ou outttc THE presen Cook Stov* design and tl is built.
