"You are right. Mr Mltcbel. My own
case is n bitter exnuipie of the truth
of the doctrine which 3*011 advocate. 1
am what >*ou aptly called a degenerate
product of vleo In another. I say tills
not as a plea for myself, but merely os
an assertion of the truth. But let lue
continue. As I have said, I have al^
ways loved Lilian Vale, despite my
j recognition or the fact that she never
could be mine. But soon a man named,
or, rather, calling himself. Morton
came.upon the scene, lie was wealthy
s well as handsome. Just the sort of
man to turn a young girl's head. lie
won her heart. At tirst, when I saw
blm making love to her, I would have
strangled him out for the constaut
effort which 1 always made to .overcome
my homicidal tendencies. Later,
wlioti I discovered thjifLilian had
<0 tare tlTfHnan. 1 would not
have harmed him for all the world.
' And so he found the opportunity to
win from her all that a girl should hold
most sacred. I went away for a time,
hoping that absence would give me
strength to hoar my loss, without yielding
to the criminal proclivities which
merely smoldered within my bosom.
When I returned. I found Lilian had
become a mother. Again it was with
the greatest difficulty that I refrained
from murder, but tlie motive for such
nn net wns merely Jealousy. It was
tlic fenr of becoming the father of a
child of hers, of seeing in the beloved
L. darling of my wife n reproduction of
^ my own degenerate self, which had
lost me my Lilian. And now to sec her
fondling the offspring of another was
hard ludeed to bear. Hut I (lid not then
know of the degradation into which he
hnd plunged her. 1 thought they were
Indeed -wedded, as they pretended to
be. If I lmd known the truth. I would
' .' have killed him."
"Poor fellow! IIo*.v you have suffered!"
"The weeks and the months rolled
by. Slippery Sam, one of my trusted
friends, from time to time o.-cupled a
room In the same ho:'se in which Lilian
lived. He did this at my request
to bring-me reliable news of all that
occurred. I had a sort of presentiment
that some day she would need my aid.
The tluie came at length. One night I
was with Slippery Sum In bis room
when I heard a noise below. I listened
and felt sure that some one was moving
about in Lilian's room. I went
back and brought out a candle. By its
dim light I saw a man hurrying down
stairs, carrying a bundle. 1 hastily
followed. Hp walked swiftly through
the dark streets, but I kept him* in
view. Finally he reached an old graveyard
and with ditliculty climbed over
the fence. Then I discovered his purpose.
He had stolen Lilian's child. I
saw him strip off the single garment
In which It was clad, and 1 saw him
drnoslt the Infant in the high grass.
"I was leaning against the wall, under
the protecting shadow of a doorway
next to the rail fence, -when he
leaited back Into the street and hurried
up town. 1 imagined that this was the
husband, who thus took the tirst step
toward abandoning poor Lilian. 1 was
convulsed with rage aud sneaked along
behind him, hesitating whether or not
to strike him dead. As these thoughts
were surging In my brain the man
ahead of me stepped Into the light of
an electric lamp at Chatham square,
r and an Instant Inter I saw his face nnd
recognized It?I say recognized it, for 1
knew him. It was Matthew Mora, the
elder."
"So the old man had stolen the son's
child In repayment of the blow which
he had received."
"Perhaps. I knew nothing of that
nt tbe time. I was overcome by the
intensity of tbe emotions that surged
up about my heart My brain seemed
on fire. My eyes became blind, so that
the old man disappeared from my
view. Everything was red before me,
blood color. Blood seemed to flow
about me. The streets were covered
wftli It. nnd it ran about In a rapid
flood*. Now It rose to my knees; now
^ it reached to my waist, to my shoulP
ders, to my neck. 1 experienced a
sense of strangulation. 1 gasped, 1
reeled, nnd then In an Instant all be*
ctitme clear again. My senses returned,
and 1 ran forward to seize the flend
who was a little ahead of me. He was
rushing up the steps of the elevated
railroad. 1 rnn after him, mounting
three steps nt a time, but I reached
the platform only in time to see him
enter n train and to have the gate
slammed in my face as the guard pulled
the signal cord. Well, 1 was powerless
for the moment, but the craving
for blood was In my heart and would
not be uppenseu. he first reckless
impulse of madness, however, had
passed and uow gave place to cunning.
I went back to the house where Mprton
IIveil, and 1 searched bis closet for
n wiiii ui uuiuuig wuiuu wuuiu Bfrvf
as a disguise. I found what you all
now know ng the plnld suit My object
in wearing that was to create the
suspicion of Mortoo's guilt, for 1 had
determined to kill old Morn, and the
deed was already accomplished in ray
mind, lie would be shown to have
had provocation by the clever detectives
who would Investigate the case.
It would be discovered that the old
man had stolen and abandoned tlio
infant, and that would suffice as n
motive. So I wore the suit and hastened
to Morn's house, the location of
which was well known to me.
"I suw the watchman and did" not
consider at the time why it was that
he made no protest when 1 deftly unlocked
the door with what be probfc
amy TDougnt was a key. Uf course be J
Imagined that I was the sou. I went
lu and soon found old Mora's room. I
He was In bed. He had the club, beRide
him and sat up as I entered. Instoutly
he began to abuse me, to taunt
me with the less of the child, which he
boasted of having put out of the way.
It ws? then and from the words which
he addressed to me lu the darkness,
supposing that I was his son. that I
discovered his relationship to my Julian's
lover. Tills was a new and terrible
shock to me. Again a turbid sea
of blood engulfed me. The room seemed
illuminated as with a glare of red
(lie. I saw the old man sitting there in
Ids bed. I saw the club at Ids side, and
I sprang suddenly upon him and seized
it. Then a desperate struggle begun.
He. too. caught hold of the club. I
wrestled with him and dually over
(fuwitimi ii1111. ije ion to ins knees, nntl
I swung tbe club upward and swiftly
downward. Whether 1 struck him once
or many times I will never know. a*d
It Is immaterial. The llrst blow probably
ended all. As soon as ho was
still 1 lighted the gas and ransacked
Ids desk. 1 found the will and Immediately
realized that it would be a powerful
weapon In certain emergencies.
It could be used to blackmail young
Mora in case ho should escape the suspicion
of this crime. This brings me
to the plaid suit. I put it on over my
own clothing, but after entering the
house I slipped it oil', lest blood should
fall upon it. Before I departed I put
it on again, for I knew then why the
watchman had permitted me to pass,
and I hoped that ho would see me
ngaln as I left."
"I see. You ishod to cast suspicion
upon young Mora. That is why, when
we were discussing tlie case, you expressed
the opinion that the son had
committed the crime?"
"No. You are only partially correct.
At the time of the murder I thought
only of protecting myself. The criminal
Impulse controlled me, and the little
good that is In me was inactive for
the time. But later I had no wish to
see young Mora suffer. 1 needed not
that for my own protection, and his
death would have brought suffering to
Lilian."
"But you certainly expressed the
opinion that Matthew Mora's soa killed
him?"
"I did, and it was the truth. Matthew
Mora's son did kill him."
"What do you mean?" exclaimed Mr.
Mitchcl.
"I am Matthew Mora's son," said
Preacher Jiiu.
"You?his son?"
"Yes; 1 am the son of Matthew Mora
and Margaret Crane. Mv mother ni
ways; called me Matthew. Yon wore
wrong when j*on expressed the opinion
that my mother cut out my father's
name from those letters. 1 found
the letters one day and so learned the
i truth. Later on I cut the names out
| in order that the secret might not be
I discovered by any one else."
"This is Indeed a surprising revelation.
You Matthew Mora's son! It Is
like a tale of liction. And how very
just Is Its ending! The man was murdered
by the very child whom he had
abandoned after bequeathing to him a
heritage of crime."
"Yes, in tlwe eyes of the law I am a
murderer who should be hanged. Perhaps
In the eyes of the Almighty Father
I am an instrument of justice.
Now that 1 have told you all you will
more readily comprehend the craving
for blood which seized me when In

treated an Infant, 1 recognized my
own father. Yon will understand better
how the second paroxysm attacked
ine in his room when 1 learned that
the man who had stolen my Lilian's
heart was my own brother and that
thus. In spite of tny self sacrifice, the
offspring of my beloved would have a
heritage of crime which traced back
to my own progenitor. You will comprehend
with what fiendish Joy 1
sprang upon the man who was at once
the author of my being and of all my
suffering and wrongs. You will see
why 1 took the will which deprived
iny brother of one-half of his fortune.
That Is the story of the killing of Matthew
Mora. Was it a murder? I will
not ask for the verdict of my fellow
men, but will abide by the decision of
my Maker."
"There Is still one point which 1

| Mr. Barnes. "Mora's valet positively
| asserts tlmt he saw his master In the
] house that ulght and that be helped
him to dress In the plaid suit. How do
you account for that?"
"Very easily," said Preacher Jim.
"The valet only tells this story at my
request After the death of Slippery
Sam I fully decided upon my own
course. Upon one thing, however, I
was determined?this man Mora, my
own half brother, should right tho
wrong which he had done to Lilian. 1
knew of his visits to tho rich girl up
town nnd feared that it might be difficult
to coerce him. The valet Is n
member of our organization, nnd theveforo
It was easy for uie to gain his co*
operation, and ha readily consented to

Mr. Barnes, that Mora was guilty.
I Thus I hoped to have you arrest him,
j and when once uiore In custody 1
would have been able to bring bim to
I terms by offering bim his liberty,
whlcli be could only ba.ve obtaiued
through my confession."
"What will you do now?" asked Mr.
Barnes.
"All, that Is simple! Tliauks to Mr.
Mltchel. my Idliau Is now a lawful
wife, with her babe restored to her.
You see. I know all at last. My Inhuman
father is dead. My poor mother
lies In her grave. Why should 1 live
longer? Mr. Barnes, I deliver myself
to you as your prisouer."
"No, no, Mr. Barnes!" cried Mr.
Mltchel. "Do not touch hint. This
man shall go forth from my house, as
he entered it, a free man."
"You are wrong. Mr. Mltchel, though
I thank you most sincerely. 1 must
surrender to tlio law. Why not let Mr.
Barnes lmve the glory of seeming to
have unraveled the mystery and claim
Morn's proffered reward?"
"I should not make such a claim,"
retorted the detective.
"No; I think you are a more houest
mnn," snld I'rcachcr Jim. "Hut if you
hand me over to the authorities you
will receive credit, and thus I shall do
some good In the world. Besides, you
linve sutliclently earned Mora's money
and ought to have It."
"But why should you give yourself
up at all?" argued Mr. Mltchel. "You
have suffered so much that It would be
an Injustice for you to suffer more."
"It is Inevitable, and it is best. You
forget that I have committed a second
murder. I killed Slippery Sam. That,
too, was In a moment of uncontrollable
emotion. I lind just witnessed the
death of my mother. 1 went forth into
the street and ran along aimlessly.
By chance I approached your doorway,
and I saw Slippery Sam leave your
house. Instantly I jumped to the conclusion
that he had betrayed me, for
he knew the truth. He knew when 1
took the plaid suit and when I returned
It. In fact, lie knew everything.
In the disordered state of my mind it
was Impossible for me to reason calmly.
I seized Sain by the throat. lie

"It did puzzle ine for a time," admitted
Mr. MItehel.
"And so, you see," said Treacher
Jim, almost wearily, "the end must
come now. I cannot permit myself to
live longer. My father was a Sadist.
The- love of cruelty which made him
strangle a poor defenseless monkey,
which caused him once to tie a boy up
by his thumbs in a garret and leave
him there until ho fainted, which
prompted him to pinch and kick and
otherwise torture children and animnls,
has been transmitted to me, bis
firstborn, his abandoned son, In a more
virulent form. Twice I have yielded
to the craving for blood. Twice I have
taken human life. I am a fiend in human
guise, n beast, a monster. Nothing
is left for me on earth. No human
love can be mine. For mo there is no
charity, no reformation, no salvation.

Is that at the supreme moment when
I am sentenced I may be allowed to

Oplnm Smokers In Clilna.
To learn the actual number of opium
smokers is impossible, but we know
the amount of the foreign import of
tills drug, and the naive confessions of
reformed opium smokers tell us precisely
tlie amount of opium required to
pass tlie yin or craving* It is one-flfth
of an ounce daily. An ounce or liang
is consumed in live days, and a catty
guflicos for 8(1 clays. Four catties are
enough for 320 days, and anoffior half
catty will carry tlie smoker to flic end
of a year with comfort. A pieul is
enough, then, for only 22 persons, and
50,000 plculs is sutlieieut for not more
than 1,100,000 persons.
The rich province of Szccluieu produces
100.000 plculs of opium, and tlie
cultivation is always increasing. At
Chungeliing 30,000 piculs sutllce for
consumption in the province, and <55.000
piculs are exported. We may conclude
that the smokers of that province
cannot be less than 000,000. Since tlie
population is 07,000.000, the number
of smokers is one in 100. In Sliensi
one in 140 smokes, in Szeehuen one in
100. In Formosa one in 15 is tlie proportion
in cities, where tlie people are
sunk to the lowest point of degradation,
and this is the largest proportion
yet known of opium smokers as compared
with the general population.?

very pretty yellow slippers with

a double chin, like a can^i. She has
not a single white hair, notwithstanding

eyes are still as sparkling as ever.
