Frederick, who hat! evidently Lottie request to make or direction to Rive, had sent a written line to the coroner, who. on reading it, had passed It over to Knapp, who a few minutes iater was to be seen in conference with Agnes Halliday. As a result the latter rose and left the room, followed by the detective. She was gone a half hour. Then, si militate-on sly with her reap- jiearaace, Sweetwater saw Knapp hand i bundle of letters to the ciyoner. who, upon opening them, chose out several which he proceeded to read to the jury, rhey were the letters referred to by Frederick as having been given to him by his mother. The first was dated 3o years previously and was in the laandwriting of Agatha herself. It was directed to James Zabel and was read amid a profound hush: Dmak Jamks -I know I have a tem per. a wicked temper, and now you know it too. When it is aroused. 1 for get love, gratitude and everything else that should restrain me and utter words 1 am astonished at myself. Hut ( do not get aroused often, and when all is over 1 am not averse to apologise .ng or even to begging forgiveness. My father says my temper will undo me, but 1 am much more afraid of my heart than I am of my temper. For instanee, lien* I am writing to you «gnin. just because 1 raised my riding whip and said—but you know what 1 said, and I am not fond of recalling that moment, for I cannot do so with out seeing your look of surprise and contrasting it with that of Philemon's. Yours had judgment in it, whi' * Phile mon's held only indulgence, yet I liked yours best or should have liked it best if it were not for the insufferable pride which is a part of my being. Temper such as mine ought to surprise you. Yet would 1 ho Agatha Gilchrist with out it? 1 very much fear not, and. not being Agatha (Jilchrist. should I have your love? Again 1 fear not. James, forgive me! When I am happier, when i know my own heart, 1 will have less provocation. T hen if that heart turns your way you will find a great and bountiful serenity where now there are lowering skies and thunderous tem pests. Philemon said last night that he would be content to have my fierce word o' mornings if only I would give him one drop out of the honey of my better nature when the sun went down ami twilight brought reflection and love. Hut 1 did not like him any the better for saying this. You would not halve the day so. The cup must hold no bitter that would give you true re freshment. Will it not. then, have to be proffered by other hands than those of Agatha? Mr. Philemon Webb: Respected Siii—You are persistent. 1 am willing to tell you, though 1 shall never confide so much in another, that It will take a stronger nature than yours and one that loves me less to hold me faithfully and make me the happy, devoted wife which 1 must be if I would not he a demon. 1 cannot. 1 dare not. marry where I am not held In a passionate, self forgetful subjection. 1 am too proud. I am too sensitive to wrong, 1 am too little mistress of my self when angry or aroused. If, like some strong women, I loved what was weaker than myself and could he con trolled by goodness and unlimited kind ness. 1 might venture to risk living at the side of the most indulgent and up right man that I know, hut I am not of that kind. Strength only can command my admiration or suImIuc my pride. 1 must fear where I love and own bim for husband who lias first shown him self my master. So do not fret any more for me, for you. least of all the men I know, will never claim my obe dience or command my love. N’ot tbnt J will not yield my heart to you, but that 1 cannot, and. knowing that I can not. feel it honest to say so before any more of yonr fine manhood is wasted. Go your way, then. Philemon, and leave me to the rougher paths my feet were made to tread. I like you now and feel something like a tender regard for your goodness, hut if you persist In a courtship which only my father is in- clined to smile upon you will call up an Antagonism that can lead to nothing but evil, for the serpent that lies coil 'd in my breast has deadly fangs, and t is to l>e feared, as you should know, who have more than once seen me an- *ry. Do not blame John nor James Zabel nor Frederick Snow nor even Samuel Barton for tills. It would be the same .f none of these men existed. 1 was aot made to triumph over a kindly nature, but to subdue the haughtiest 'mart In ail this country to the gentle aut firm hand of my heart’s master. Y)o you want to know who that master s? I cennot tell you. for I have not 7Ct named him to myself. Deap. James—I am going away. I tin going to leave Porchester for sev- •ral mouths. 1 am going to see tin* ■vorld. 1 did.not tell you this la t night For fear of weakening under your en treaties or should I say commands? Lately I have felt myself weakening note than once, and I want to know what it means. Absence will tench me. -absence and the sight of new faces. Do you quarrel with this necessity? Do won think 1 should know my mlnjJ. without any such test? Alas. James. It !.- net a simple mind, and it bailies me ut times. Let ns then give it a chance. If the glow and glamour of elegant city life can make me forget certain snatch es of talk at our old gate or that night when yon drew my hand through your arm and softly kissed my finger tips, then I am no mate for you. whose love, however critical, lias never wavered from the first, but has made Itself felt even In rebuke, as the strongest, sweet est tiling that has entered my turbulent life. ^ Because I would he worthy of you I submit to a separation which will either be a permanent one or the last that will ever take place between you nud me. Jolm will not hear this as well as on. yet he does not love me ns well, possibly because to him I am sim ply a superior being, while to you I am a living hut Imperfect woman, who wishes to do right, hut caa only do so under the highest guidance.. Dear John—I feel that I owe you a letter because you have been so pa tient. You may show it to James if yo i like, but I mean it for you as an old and dear friend who will one day dance at my wedding. I am living lu a whirl of enjoyment. 1 am seeing and tasting of pleasures I have only dreamed about till now. From a farmhouse kitchen to Mrs. An drews’ drawing room is a lively change for a girl who loves dress and show only less than daily intercourse with famous men and brilliant women. But :y V y" »>/ v '•. - - >V ’AKp Y I'rV' “Drar John,” xln: wrote. I am bearing it nobly and have devel oped tastes I did not know I possessed. And no one seems to think i am out of place, nor do I feel so. only-do not tell James—there are movements in my heart at times which make me shut my eyes when the lights are brightest and dream, if but for an instant, of home and the tumble down gateway where I have so often leaned when some one you know who it is now. John, and I shall not hurt you too deeply by men tioning him—was saying good night and calling down the blessings of heav en upon a head not worthy to receive them. Does this argue my speedy return? Perhaps, yet 1 do not know. There are fond hearts here also, and a life in this country’s center would he n great life for me if only 1 could forget the touch of a certain restraining hand which has great power over me even as a memory. For the sake of that touch shall I give up the grandeur and charm of this broad life? Answer. John. You know him and me well enough now to say. Dear James—Why must I write? Why am 1 not content with the mem ory of last night? Is It because that when the cup Is quite full, a cup that has been so long in filling, some few drops must escape just to show that a great joy like mine is not satisfied to he simply quiescent? I have suffered so long from uncertainty, have tried you and tried myself with so tedious an Indecision, that now that I know no other man can ever move my heart as you have done the ecstasy of it makes me overdemonstrative. I want to tell you that 1 love you; that I do not sim ply accept your love, but give you- hack In fullest measure all the devotion you have heaped upon me in spite of my many faults and failings. You took me to your heart last night and seemed satisfied, but it does not satisfy me that 1 Just let you do It without telling you that 1 am proud and happy to be the chosen one of your heart and that us I saw your smile and the proud pas sion which lit up your face 1 felt how much sweeter was the dear, domestic bliss you promised me than the more brilliant hut colder life of a states man's wife lu Washington. Dear James—1 do not, I cannot, be lieve It. Though you said to me in going out, “Your father will explain it all.” 1 do not content myself with his explanation and never will believe what he said of you except you con firm it by your own act. Oh, James, were we not happy? I be lieved in you aud felt that you believed in me. When we stood heart to heart under the elm tree (was it only last night?) and you swore that If it lay in the power of earthly mau to make me happy I should taste every sweet that a woman's heart naturally craved, I thought irty heaven had already come and that now It only remained for me to create yours. Yet 1 trust In you yet, James, aud if you bid me to con tinue that trust I will do so with all my heart ami never ask you to solve this or any later mysteries for me. I do not confide with a half heart. I give you all or I give you nothing, a fact which will either Insure my happiness or my ruin. I do uot know which. I am as 1 am. Do you think my father's words would satisfy m» or that I would or could believe them when they accused you of a base and dishonest art? James, you should have wuibd and not left me to the misery of hear ing such an accusation, an accusation of theft, and theft of money, from one I could not contradict--that is. if you knew what he was iroinir to *«v Bui perhaps you did not. Much as I have always revered and loved my father. I find myself hoping that he lias said other words to me than those you ex pected 1dm to That in Ids wish to sec me Philemon's wife he has resorted to an unworthy subterfuge to separate us and that there is no truth in the story lie told me last night or at least not the truth he would impress upon me. If Ids account of the interview be tween you Is a correct one. and you have nothing to add to it in way of ex planation. then the return of this letter i will be token enough Hint my father- has been Just in Ids accusations and that the bond between us must lu’* bro ken. But if. oli. James. If you are the true man 1 consider you and all that I have heard is a fabrication or mistake,! then come to me at once. Do not de- la.*, out come at once, and the sight of your face at the gate will be enough to establish your Innocence iu my eyes if uot iu those of less iutuition than your Agatha. The letter that followed this was very short: Dear James—The package of letters has been received. God help me to bear this shock to all my hopes and the death of all my girlish beliefs. I am not angry. Only those who have some thing left to hold to in life can be an gry. My father tells me he has received a packet too. It contained Jo.OUO in ten $.->00 notes. Janies, James, was not my love enough that you should want my fat her’s money too? I have begged my father, and he has promised me to keep the cause of this ! rupture secret. No one shall know ! from either of us that James Zabel has any flaw in his nature. The next letter was dated some months later. It was to Philemon: Dear Philemon—The gloves are too small; besides. 1 never wear gloves. I hate their restraint and do not feel there is any good reason for hiding my hands in this little country town, whore everybody knows me. Why not give them to Hattie Weller? She likes such things, while I have had my fil! of fin ery. A girl whose one duty is to care for a dying father has not room left for vanities. Dear Philemon—You will have my hand, though I have told you that my heart does not go with it. It is hard to understand such persistence, but if you are satisfied to take a woman of my strength against her will then God have mercy upon you, for I will be your wife. But do not ask me to go to Sutber- landtown. I shall live here. And do not expect to keep up your Intimacy with the Zabels. There is no tie of af fection remaining between James and myself, but if I am to shed that half light over your home, which Is all I can promise and all that you can hope to receive, then keep me from all in fluence but your own. That this in time may grow sweet and dear to me is my earnest prayer today, for you are worthy of a true wife. Agatha. Dear John—I am going to be mar ried. My father exacts It. and there Is no good reason why 1 shall not give him this final satisfaction. At least 1 do not think there Is. but If you or your brother differs from me— Say good by to James from me. 1 pray that his life may lie peaceful. I know that it will be honest. Agatha.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing It, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
