Pretty little TSnama Stephauy, al though ill-taught and unused to thc ways of tho groat world beyond her narrow lnvlronmont. sits in her oell in tho Jail at Pottsville, Pa., a verit able sphinx. Hy all tho rules by which detective' ozperienoo has taught them to weigh bho probabilities of guilt or innooer?oo, lOinnm Stophany ls no murderess Yet ovor and over again sho has rais od her hand and declared tu thom: "I tell you that I killed him-I shot him with his own revo v ?r." "What did you do with tho revol ver after the shooting?" "I threw it over the fence." "You ought to know that J s me' IPrizzell never had a revolver. Why do you risk your neck by tolling suob a story?" And then tho gin, hor bosom hcav lng with agitation, would deolan -\gain that it was she who had sho! James FrJzzoll. "Why did you do lt? Ho was your lever. You ^ero to be married lu bim." And then, lu a frenz/ of dread of something which is tl e great u. vs tery of this strargo oaso Blio would wall: "No one oise did ltl Oh, I did ltd I did Ul It was au accident, but I. ?nd no one else, Killed James Friz zel I" For weeks and weeks her Jailers lave kepi a olose watch upon her in the hope that somo unguarded act, jomo ure mtrollable access of emotion haring her long nlurhts in her dismal jell-whloh overlooks the Jail yard In which six Molly Mxgune terrorists of the coal regions were hanged in a sin <!e hour- would betray her and off :r \ solution of the mystery. But all tho enlightenment thoy gained for their pains waa when om night last week she rose from hor oot And walked to the grated window and. after gazing out into the Jail yard with its grewBOmo mcmoi.".v.r, sens ; mured: "I wonder if they will hang mo?" This remark, made at such an hour when sho believed herself to be quite .'lone, v/.uj Interpreted to be the ex pression of one who, knowing herself to bo really lunooont, wondered If ii oould actually bo possible for the law bo send tu the gallows a guiltless per ion. A? none of tho detectives engaged upon the oasa had given oredence to "confession," the scone just dcsorlbod iee med to add foroe to their theory ohat tho girl had taken the orime up on herself in order to save tho real murderer. Then whom could tho real crimina1, be? Tnls ls still a mystery. Is ho a ieoond lover who kept himself In tl e background so effectually that not ven his name is known, who har! won her from Frizz d.? Sha is rad to have made to a member of her fam ily, who reported it to the pollox, ont remark that hinted at such a condi ilon of t ff .1rs.

There ls no doubt that, whatever hor own part in the tragedy, Emma Stephauy knows all about thc murder of James BVzzcll. Kirly in the day of July 4, thia year, the body of this young man was found In a Pottsville Btreot, ?hot through tho heart. Before tho body was removed a orowd gathered s bout lt, One of these on lons peritcns was Fmma Stephauy. Soo leaned ovor the prostrate form, nba ken, agitated "Do you reoogu;zo him?'' a polloe man asked her. "I do not know this man," hbo sob bed, and walked away. When the identity of tho dead man ?vas rovoalod to the polloe- that be had latoly been tho accepted lover of IC rima Stephany-??hoy Imoaodiatoly went to the girl's bonn and u/iesMon* ed her. Tho result showed nor to bf either a murcie ross or a woman phe nominally gifted with powers of sub tle reasoning exerted with some mys tericus obj'ob in view. She sat in Bilanoo whllo her thor ougbly alarmed mother declared that ber daughter had retired at hor usual hour-which was early -and had not left hor room during all thc night ol the murder. Tho older woman wept, lamenting: "Ho was stioha lino young man i am sure iie would have mada a good husband for my daughter." "When you looked at tho body In the street, why did you say that you did not recognize lt?" domanded one. of tho pohoomen of the girl. "1 /ras frightened," siro murmured Tho policeman lookod at her sharp ly, setting a trap. "Who ls this other man you have been keeping oompany with latoly." Tho shaft went Straight home. "lt is falso," said tho girl, turning pale. "I havo been keeping company with no other man." The police wero really nonplussed They started to leavo the house. Strangely enough, this seemed to alarm the girl moro thau ever. Thoy did not thon have any roal suspioion that thero had boon rival lovers, so they woro taken wholly by surprise when F urna Stephauy suddenly rose and said, in her mothor's prosonoe. .'Take mo with you.

Tho average death rate in quarantined states being nearly three times as great as that in the tlok free states, it is not unfair to as sume that two thirds of this loss by death ls directly attributable to tht I tlok, that is, 10,000,000.
