Another day’s begun;
Like the first day of the earth's creation.
And yet, another one.
IThe self-same sun will rUe and set forever.
While empires pass away.
But never, till we saw its rosy dawning.

Sweet love has ruled the heart.
And men have wooed and maidens smiled

And all have done their part.

Tracing a Dark Crime.
./ ALEXANDER ROBINSON, M. D.
IHAPTEIt XII.
T A R T L E D, I
looked in his faco
as he sat there op
posite.
Then for the
first time I real
ized that there was
in many respects a
resemblance be
tween this m a n
and the old Doctor.
His startling
words were true,
but did not this
make the matter
blacker?
I rememb e r e d
that there had
been a mystery in
the old Doctor's
past. This, then,
was a portion of it.
The letter I had found came
once more into my mind. It
was as if the characters were
written with lingers of tiro
upon my brain, and now I
couid see a. new light upon
their rendering.
Theodore Parker: I posi
tively and for the last time re
fuse to grant you the interview
you so impudently demand. The
past has not been blotted from
my mind. I am inexorable—tho
same yesterday, to-day, and to
morrow. Never dare address mo
again In any shape. I look upon
you as one dead.
Abraham Seabury.
How could I have been so
blind before as not to see the
truth? It was apparent now in
every line
Looking back, I could see some terri
ble quarrel between these two men, each
of .whom no doubt possessed a strong
temper.
Perhaps Leonore had been the cause
of It all, and tho result had been that
Theodore ^Hsbanis^^^^Mi|A>oinewith

-tread.
From time to time he had sought an
Interview, but the old Doctor had
perhaps misconstrued tho tone of his
letter, and deemed him impudent, when
perhaps he was only determined.
Then had come a dark resolve on the
part of the wretched son to avenge his
wrongs, and perhaps gain the fortune of
his father at one fell blow-.
Ho had done it. Could it be possible that
this was tho terrible foe Dr. Seabury
had dreaded for years? I could hardly
believe it, and yet the evidence pointed
that way.
Whoever had killed him had been tho
cause of his constant dread.
While these thoughts were Hitting
through my mind, I sat there watching
my man, and trying to analyze flic
leries of emotions that llitted across his
face.
It was beyond my power.
The man writhed under my indict
ment, and I could not see how any
thing other than guilt could make him
do so.
He spoke first, and his voice was not
*o strong as before.
“Doctor, am I.to understand that you
believe me guilty of my father's death?”
“I am bound so to believe, sir.”
“This is a terrible accusation to bring
against a man.”
“It is warranted by facts. You wore
at loggerheads with your father. In tho
dead of night you sneak like a thief to
the house, and climb the vines hiding
to your father’s window. He is found
dead—murdered beyond all shadow of
doubt. Now, sir, what would it be rea
sonable to suppose?”
A spasm of pain crossed his face.
“I see the force of your accusation.
Doctor, and yet I solemnly declare to
you, as heaven is my witness, that I
was not in my father's chamber on that
night—I am innocent of this terrible
crime. ”
“What! dare you deny that you were
present—that you climbed the vines as I
have said, leaving tho mark of your
hand on tho white window ledge, and
losing a letter from Dr. Seabury at the
broken wall?”
“I deny none of these, simply stating
that I am Innocent of the crime.”
To say that I was amazed would he
putting it rather feebly—I was almost
paralyzed by the situation.
Here the man who had turned mit to
be the old Doctor's son admitted that ho
had climbed tho vines and looked in at
the window of his father’s room, hut em
phatically denied going further.
Ah! a sudden thought: had lie -ecu
anything to cause him sudden a'arm?
The idea came with resistless force.
It would account in a measure for his
strong emotions.
This thought 1 had to dismiss instant
ly, for it threw me off tho track, and
sent me back to the old suspicion enter-
tertalned by Mr. Keteham—that Leo-
•nore. In a fit of mental Insanity,-had
done the deed which had created such'
confusion in the mind of the old <le-
j tective.
Of course this was but a scheme on
his part to evade punishment.
The man was capable of much cun
ning—I saw that he was no ordinary
character, but that he possessed s’rong
powers.
Returning to the attack, I once mora
i pushed him hard.
“You have not acquitted yourself in
i my mind, sir. Remember, tho charge
i against you is a terrible one. It would
serve your interest 1 - well were you to tell
the real pature of your visit to that
My lips are
house.”
My words impress!
he was thinking deeply.
“Am I to understand
prove my innocence to
shall be arrested, charged with thi
heinous and most unnatural crime?”
“You are so to understand.”
“So be it. I cannot tell you why I
climbed to that window, but simply re
peat my former statement that I was
not In the room, and am innocent of tho
deed.”
Young Seabury spoke like a man who
had made up his mind as to the course
he should pursue—his rudder was lashed
and there should be no change.
Naturally I sought for a motive in this
most singular action.
It was hard to find.
Two courses seemed open to me, anl I
could take my choice.
The first concerned his own guilt, and
fomehew it came hard for me to apply
his strange actions to him here. I could
understand how he might deny every
thing blankly, if guilty, and swear that
ho was not within a mile of the spot
at the time of the murder, but to admit
that ho had even climbed the vines and
looked into his father's room, at the
same time vehemently asserting his in
nocence, was a piece of strategy on the
part of a guilty man that I could not
readily grasp.
On the other hand another picture
was presented to my view.
Suppose this young man was all that
ho should be—that ho had gone to Hie
house to make a personal appeal to his
father, or for some such reason, and,
upon climbing to the old Doctor s win
dow had looked upon a sight that had
frozen the marrow in his bones—was he
tho man, then, to take guilt upon his
own shoulders rather than have it fall
on the head of one he loved?
I looked at him critically with this new
thought in my brain.
As I have said before, his face was a.
strongly marked one—there were no
signs of weakness there.
He was capable of great things, eitiior
for good or evil, as tho spirit might sway
him.
“Will you not tell me what you saw
there, Seabury?” I asked.
He shook his head.
“I cannot, Doctor. ”
“Meaning you will not?”
“Take it as you please,
sealed upon that subject.”
My interest was bounding on apace.
I could hard keep it in sight.
“If I understand you correctly, you a<
knowledge having looked into the room
of the old Doctor?”
“I do not deny it.”
“And you saw something that occurred
within that, chamber?”
He did not answer.
I could see his teeth close hard, and ho
had the appearance of a man who was
sternly resolved, upon his course
“Do you refuse to tell me what it was
you saw?”
“I have nothing to say.”
“Perhaps you forget that your life may
pay the penalty of this refusal to speak
and clear yourself.”
“I forgot nothing. Would to heaven I
could forget! At the same time, if it
must come, so be it. I am resigned. As
the Arabs say, Kismet—it is fate.”
I was becoming more and more in
terested in this man.. He was a charac
ter to study with profit. In fact, I do
not know that I ever met one who gave
ino more of a chance for observation
“Since you are determined upon this
course we will drop that question; but
perhaps you will not object to answer
ing certain others of minor import
ance. ”
I was going to beat about the bush,
aud perhaps discover in an indirect way
what he refused to divulge openly.
“Anything I can answer I shall do so
with the greatest ofj0jeasure,” ho said,
quietly. A \
“You admit ei

irect to the foot
of the vinos, retraced your path to tho
wall, and then back once more to tho
side of the house. What made you do
this thing?”
“You arc mistaken, Doctor.”
“In what?”
“I passed through the garden only
once each way.”
“There were two sets of tracks there.
I saw them myself.”
“Then some one else made the other.”
“Impossible. They were near enough
alike to have been made by the same
man.”
“And yet I stand ready to swear that
I went direct from the wall to the house,
and when I left I followed the same
route.”
He was quite determined in his manner.
I could not say that he was telling a
lie; at the same time I felt sure he must
be very much mistaken.
Possibly at the time he hardly knew
what he was doing, and had fled from
the spot only to return again, drawn
thither by some terrible fascination.
To assist my investigation, I pretended
that I had fallen in with his idea
“Then you think some one else must
have been in the garden on tho same
night, and almost followed your course
to the vines. ”
“Since you affirm that there were two
sets of tracks, it must be so. I made
but one.”
“Let me see your boot.”
He held up his foot.
It was a very small one for a man of
his size, and not unlike a woman's.
“That will do. Now tell me, while you
were hovering around your father’s
place that night, did you notice any sus
picious character about?”
He started at my words, as though
thev offered him a. loophole of escape.
“Yes, I did.”
“Teli me about it ”
1 did not take any stock in what he
was about to say, for I believed he was
simply jumping at the bait offered. At
the same time, to deceive him, I pre
tended to be greatly interested.
“As I passed out through the break in
the stone wall I heard a sound near me,
and turning my head I saw the figure of
a man of low stature, standing with his
back against the wall.
“I noticed no more, ror i was not in a
.■ondition to care for such things. His
lead was bent low as I passed him, and
t could not have seen bis faco had I
;ried. ”
“You don't know whether he went
nto the grounds or not?”
“I couldn’t say. It would be very
ikely, If he was bent on burglary, or
inything else.”
“Another question, Seabury. Have
vou ever carried any burglar's tools?”
His face flushed, either with real or
assumed indignation, but, biting his lips,
he controlled himself.
“Never in my life, sir.”
“Let me describe a tool that I found
under the vines, and tell me whether you
have ever seen it.”
1 described it accurately.
He shook his head as I finished.
“I give you my word of honor. Doctor,
1 never even saw such a tool, and cer
tainly never possessed one. If you found
that among the vines, depend upon it
some one mounted them either before or
after I had been there.”
If I could believe his words, then a
third trail had opened up before me; but
I was not yet ready to change my mind.
Until I did so, this man was the guilty
party, although it was far from my in
tention to say so, as I had no Intention
now of arresting him, and wished to keep
him quiet.
Just about this time I began to feel

Strange things had occurred
since last I saw him.
What was he doing—pursuing the tral
that brought up with Leonore?
My heart was In my mouth at the
thought that possibly what I had to tell
him would be only strengthening the
toils about tho poor girl.
Nevertheless he should know all.
For the last time, I turned upon the
other. , _
“Theodore Seabury, tell me truly, If I
come to you with positive evidence tbal
I know who drove that blade to the heartj
of vour father—If I prove that youri
silence is no longer necessary, and that,
in speaking, you will do no harm, and
only clear away some of this dreadful
mystery—will you then tell me what you
saw when, hanging to the window-ledge,
you looked into tho chamber of your
father?”
“Yes, Doctor, I promise jou that.”
“Solemnly?”
“On my honor as a man. ”
“I have no more to say. Do you mean
to leave the city?”
l No, sir. If I am needed I will - be
found, and although I may be punished
for a crime I^never committed, no human
power can make mo tell that which I
have sworn never to reveal.”
“I will say good-by for the present.”
I put out my hand, and he took It.
“Doctor, hew does Leonore JlaiNi It
he asked, with some confusion in his
face.

CHAPTER XIII.
My intention was to seek out Abner
Keteham, the great detective, and laying
all I had learned before him, ask for ad-*
vice in the premises.
My mind had become so confused that
I hardly knew what I was about.
Most certainly I needed a consultation
with some one.
1 knew where his office was, and in
this direction I bent my steps as soon as
I had left young Seabury.
Although 1 was seeking aid, I had rea
son to be proud of my work. Perhaps
the old detective might feel called upon '
to compliment me, something he seldom \
did. j
I reached ids office.
A rap on the door brought him out.
“Ah, Doctor, is it you?” ho asked,
while his grim face lighted up.
Her ushered me into his “den. ” It was
really the first time I had ever been
within the sanctum, and I must confess
that I looked around me'with a great
deal of interest.
The room was a regular old bachelor s
apartment. Resides this, it had an in
terest for me on account of the many
queer trophies hung upon the walls—
tilings that were doubtless connected
with all the greatest criminal cases for
many years past, in which Mr. Keteham
had figured prominently.
I looked around me for a short time,
and then coming to my senses, realized
that Mr. Keteham was watching me.
“Now, Doctor, what do you como
after?”
“I have been uneasy, sir, with regard
to Leonore. Tell me, have you made
out the ease any worse against her?”
He smiled peculiarly.
“Your interest in her is pardonable.
Doctor. I reany nope you will not bo
disappointed in your expectations. I
have discovered certain new things, but
cannot say that they settle tho case.”
-I am giait to hear that.”
“Meantime, how is it with you?”
“What do you mean Mr. Keteham?”
“You have made some discoveries

I< turned the paper around.
As I did so, Tcould not keep from ut-
toring a cry of astonishment.
There was cause for it. Only one line
of three words greeted my eyes, but it
gave a terrible shock.
That line made clear many things. It
also lifted a weight from my heart, and
I knew just where I stood.

manner, or, to get nearer tho truth, I
have run across your trail several times.”
I saw that there was no use trying to
keep anything back from this man. For
the first time the thought came into my
head that perhaps lie would be able to
return my Roland with an Oliver—that
he already knew much more than I would
be able to tell him.
At any rate he would have to give me
credit for my discoveries.
So 1 began the story.. Nothing was 1
withheld, from the time I had left him j
up to my meeting with Theodore.
Tho old detective evidently enjoyed
the story. He lay back in his chair,
with his eyes fastened upon me. Now .
and then, at some interesting part of my
story, his faco would light up and per- .
haps he would put a few questions to j
me.
His interest was greatest, however, '
when I told how 1 had succeeded in find
ing Theodore, and the manner in which 1
I sent the question home to him.
Then Mr. Keteham leaned forward in
his chair and seemed to hold his breath.
I could feel rather than see his eyes j
fixed intently upon me.
As I revealed Theodore's secret he
cackled as though greatly tickled.
“Good, Doctor; 1 commend your skill i
at running a trail,” he said.
I finished, at length, and told him why
[ hail sought him out.
“What you have given to me, Doctor, !
is not all news, and yet there have been j
some points in it of great value. Again |
allow me to commend your qualities in
the detective line. You have met with
a-tooishiiig success.”
I bowea. ' -*
“Praise from Sir Hubert is praise in
deed. ”
“I suppose what you want now is my
opinion on your discoveries?”
“Yes, in part. I would not object to
hearing what you have done in that line
yourself, Mr. Keteham.”
He smiled at my words. /
“Your enthusiasm in this case certainly
entitles you to every consideration, Doc
tor, aud at my hands you shall certainly
receive it.”
I waited for him to speak further, but
it was some time ere he did so. Perhaps
he was pondering over the matter.
“Now, Doctor, listen to me. In one
way it seems as though this young man
may have been guilty of the crime, and
yet I am Inclined to believe he speaks
the truth in the matter.
“At the same time he is morally cer
tain that when he looked into that room
he saw something that alarmed him.
“You sec that,he refuses to tell what
it was he saw. I judge that he is not tho
man to take much care of his own life,
but a secret involving one he loves would
never bo torn from him.
“Now, the great question is: what did
he seo that troubles him so intensely,
and which, he says, the rack could not
tear from his lips?
“Let me tell you.
“He looked upon Leonore, the girl ho
loved, in mad frenzy bending over his
father and sending the blade lit>me to his
heart.
“That was tho sight which froze tho
blood in his veins and made his heart
stand still. No wonder he hardly knew
what he did after that, and went back
and forth between the wall and the
house.
“Think of it—ho saw the girl he loved
murder his father! No wonder, then, he
declares that he is dumb. Sooner than
tell the truth, and have Leonore con
victed by his testimony, he would take
the crime upon his own shoulders. That
is the kind off man he is.”
“You have seen him, Mr. Keteham?* I
said, suddenly.
“Yes, I have seen him, but without

PLEADING FOR CUBANS.
Sympathy Meeting Held at Wilming
ton, Delaware.
A representative gathering of 1,509
persons met at the court house at Wil
mington, Del., Saturday evening, to
express sympathy for Cuba. One hun
dred were on the stage, including
prominent business men and politi
cians. The following resolutions were
adopted:
“Whereas, Free citizens of the state
of Delaware, we are in mass meeting
assembled for the purpose of voicing
our sympathy with the strusgle of the
people of the island of Cuba for inde-
peudi^Dee and self-government.
“Whereas, The history of the pres
ent aud all former revolts of Cuba
from the rule of Spain shows that the
attempts of the Spanish government
to retain its dominion of that island
are marked by inch cruelties aud in
humanities as are not by the laws of
nations permitted or practiced in civ
ilized warfare; now, therefore, be it
“Resolved, That we extend to the
Cubans now in revolt our full and sin
cere sympathy with their present con
test for political freedom. That as
free citizens of a free country, in ex
ercise of our right of petition and in
the name of humanity, we respectful
ly ask our National government, ns
soon as it is consistent with interna
tional obligation, to recognize the Cu
ban revolutionists as belligerent?, to
the end that a recognized status of
belligerency may appeal to the com
mon judgment of the civilized world
for a mitigation of the merciless char
acter of the warfare waged against
them.”

found upon the tug Taurus, which was
seized about September 1st near
Wilmington, Del., for intended viola

Mora Has His Money at Last.
After more than a score of years
waiting, Antoiuio Maxima Mora re
ceived Friday through representatives
payment for the confiscation of his
Cuban estate. The payment was made
directly to Dr. Rodriguez and Cram-
mond Kennedy,attorneys for Mr. Mora,
in the form of a check signed by Mr.
Olney, drawn on the assistant treasu
rer of the United States at New York.
The amount of tho check was 3591,-

interest in the indemnity secured from
Spain, minus his assignments of 40 per
cent to Dr. Rodriguez aud Air. Na

has been performed. It is also believed
that the commissioners will fix the cost
of tho canal at much greater sum than
that estimated by the Alaritirae Ci
n rr» n
l u r c h a s e.
It is expected that Uie^^romissioners’
report will claim that the waterway
cannot be built and the harbors on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts be placed
in proper condition for a sum much
less than 3100,000,000.
Carlisle to Speak.
Secretary Carlisle has accepted an
invitation to attend the annual dinner
of the New York chamber of commerce
November 18th next. Air. Carlisle
will deliver the principal address. It
will be on the administration’s financial
policy. He declined to accept an in
vitation to deliver an address at the
Tammany hall ratification meeting in
New York, October 22d, as on that day
he would be eu route with the presi
dent to the Atlanta exposition. He
has also declined an invitation to ad
dress the labor union organizations at
Chicago, 111., on December 10th, on
the subject of sound money. Air. Car
lisle states that about that time con
gress will assemble and his presence in
Washington will be necessary. He in
timates that he may find an opportu
nity to deliver an address before the
labor organizations of Chicago on the
subject.
To Be Investigated.
J. F. Parkhurst, counsel for Alorris
Rothschild, of Bath, N. Y., has re
ceived word from Secretary Gluey that
instructions had been given to the
United States ambassador to Germany
to lay the Rothschild case before the
imperial government at Berlin. Air.
Rothschild left the United States in
Alay for Germany to visit his father, tak
ing with him his naturalization papers
and the regular United States passport,
signed by Secretary Gresham. Shortly
after his arrival he was arrested and im
prisoned as a deserter from the Ger
man army. After two days in jail he
was brought before the military court
and allowed to pay a fine of 875 and
give bail pending a decision of the
matter by the mijitary officials at Ber
lin. He did not wait for a decision,
but left Germany. Later the German
authorities remitted his proposed im
prisonment of six weeks, but retained
the fine, thus asserting their claim
upon a United States citizen to serve
in the German army.
Morgan Line Steamships Withdrawn.
The state department has received
from B. B. Seal, United States consu
lar agent at Bluefields, Nicaragua, a
report relative to the withdrawal of
tho Morgan Line steamships from that
port which shows that the Alorgan
company was not satisfied with its
treatment by the Nicaraguan govern
ment. Mr. Seal learned from the
agent of the company at Blue-
fields that after the company
had rendered a prompt steam ser
vice between Bhufields and New Or
leans for eight years, and after having
contributed so liberally to the develop
ment of trade and improvement of the
country, the government of Nicaragua
had manifested a want of appreciation
of its efforts, and that in view of the
company’s losses on fruit during the
past year, the company thought it
best to withdraw its ships and seek
service where it can secure greater
encouragement and have the prospect
of adequate remuneration for service
rendered.
