The Wingham Times, 1909-06-03, Page 7THE WINGHAM TIMES, JUNE 3 1.909 Mr. Beecot, and creeps will go up your back. Lor' 'ave fuercy on us as don't know the wickedness of the world." "I think we have learned something of it lately, Mrs. Tawsey," was Paul's grim reply. "But tell me"- "Wot my pure angel sunbeam said? I will, and if it gives you nightmares don't biawo me," and Mrs. Tawsey, in her own vigorous, ungrammatical way, related what she had heard from Syl- Tia, who was now sleeping quietly. Paul went to find Hurd and related all that had taken place. The detective was equally horrified along with Bee - 'cot when he heard of Sylvia's clanger an l set to work to prove the truth of who t Maud had told the girl. He sue- tre;:ed so well that within a compare.- ti,•e:y short space of time the whole u,•t:ter was made clear. Mrs. Jessop, alias Mn. Krill. was examined; Tray was found and questioned; Matilda ;was made to speak out, and both Jes- sop and Hokar ' t to make clean breasts of it. The evidence thus pro- cured proved the truth of the terrible confession made by Maud Jessop to ,the girl she thought to strangle. Hurd was amazed fit the revelation. "Never call me a detective again," he ;said to Paul, "for I am an ass. I thought Jessop might be guilty or that Hokar might have done it. I could 'have taken my Bible oath that Mrs. Krill strangled the man, but I never for one moment suspected that smiling young woman." "Oh," Paul shrugged his shoulders, 4'she was mad." "Whatever made her tell Miss Nor - snail what she had done?' said Hurd. "Because she never thought that Syl- via would live to tell any one else. 'That was why she spoke and thought to torture Sylvia, as she did; in the same way as she tortured that wretch - 'ed man, Lemuel. If I hadn't co=re earlier to Rose cottage than usual, and if Deborah had not met me unexpect- edly at the station, Sylvia would cer- tainly have been killed. And then Mand might have escaped. She laid her plans well. It was she who in- duced Matilda to get her sister to come to Kensington for a chat." "But Matilda didn't know what 'Maud was up to?' "No. Matilda never guessed that Maud was guilty of two murders or designed to strangle Sylvia. But Maud made use of her to get Deborah out 'of the house, and it was Maud who made Tray send the letter asking Mrs. Purr to come to him, so that she also might be out of the way." "Well," said Hurd, "I went with the old woman to the address given in that letter which Tray got written for him. He wasn't there, however. so I might have guessed it was ado." "But you have caught him?' "Yes, in Hunter street He was loafing about there at night waiting dor Maud and quite tgnbrant of her .death. I made him tell me everything of his connection with the matter. He's as bad a lot as that girl, but :she had some excuse, seeing her grandmother was se murderess; Tray Is nothing but a wicked little imp." "Will he be hanged?" "No, I think not. His youth will be in his favor, though rd hang him myself if I had the chance and so ,put him beyond the reach of hurting ,any one. But I expect he'll get a long sentence." "And Mrs. Krill?" "Mrs. Jessop you mean. Hum! I .don't know. She apparently was ig- norant that Maud killed Krill, though .she might have guessed it, after the way in which Lady Rachel was mur- dered. I dare say she'll get off. I'm going to see her shortly and tell her of the terrible death of her daughter." Paul did not pursue the conversa- tion. He was sick with the horror of the business, and, moreover, was too anxious about Sylvia's health to take much interest in the winding up of the case. That be left in the hands of Hurd and assured him that the £1,000 reward, which Mrs. Krill bad offered, would man. Of course, Pash had known for some time that Mand was too old to have been born of Mrs. Jeasop's sec- ond marriage with Krill; but be never knew that the widow had committed bigamy. He counted on keeping her under his thumb by threatening to prove that Mand was not legally en- titled to the money. But when the discovery was made at Beechill and Stowley churches by Miss Qian, the monkey faced lawyer could do noth- ing. Beecot could have exposed him and for his malpractices have got him struck off the rolls; but he simply punished him by taking away Sylvia's business and giving it to Ford. That enterprising young so- licitor speedily placed the monetary affairs on a proper basis and saw that Sylvia was properly reinstated in her rights. Seeing that she was the only child and legal heiress of Krill, this was not difficult. The two women who had illegally secured possession of the money had spent a great deal in a very wasteful manner, but the dead morn's investments were so excel- lent and .judicious that Sylvia lost comparatively little and became pos- sessed of nearly five thousand a year, with a prospect of her income in- creasing. But she was too ill to ap- preciate this good. fortune. The case got into the papers, and every one was astonished at the strange sequel to the Gwynne street mystery. Beecot senior, reading the papers, learned that Sylvia was once more an heiress and forthwith held out an olive branch to Paul. More- over, the frantic old gentleman, as Deborah called him, really began to feel his years and to feel also that he had treated his only son rather harsh- ly. So he magnanimously offered to forgive Paul on no conditions what - be paid to him by Miss Nor - daughter had killed Lady Rachel and shielded her. But she was never sure it Maud had strangled Krill, as she feared ter ask her. But as the girl was out ail night at the time of the murder, Mrs. Jessop, I think, knows more than she chooses to admit. However, the treasury won't prosecute her, and her mind fa now weak. Let the poor cree- 1 tune end her days with Jessop, father. Is there anything else you wish to kno'wT' "That boy, Tray?' "He was tried for being an acces- sory before the crime, but his counsel put forward the plea of his age and that he had been under the influence of Mwud. He has been sent to a re- formatory for a good number of years. Ile may Improve." "Huh!" grunted the old gentleman, "Now that -that blackguard, Hay?" "Ile has gone abroad and is likely to remain abroad. Sandal and Tem- pest kept their word, but I think Hurd put it about that Play was a cheat and a scoundrel. Poor Hay," sighed Paul, "he bus ruined his career." "Bah! he never had one. If you pity scoundrels, Paul, what are you to think of good people?" "Such as Deborah, who is nursing my darling? I think she's the best wo- man in the world." "I suppose that Matilda Junk crea- ture had nothing to do with the mur- der?" asked Beecot senior. "No. She knew absolutely nothing and only attacked Deborah because she fancied Deborah was attacking Maud. However, the two sisters have made it up, and Matilda has gone back to the Red Pig. She's as decent a crea- ture as Deborah, in another way, and was absolutely ignorant of Maud's wickedness. Hurd guessed that when she spoke to him so freely at Christ- church." "And the thug?" "Hokar? Oh, he is not really a thug, but the descendant of one. However. they can't prove that he strangled any- thing beyond a few cats and dogs when he showed Mtiud how to use the roomal-that's the handkerchief with which the thugs strangled their vic- tims." "I'm not absolutely ignorant," growl- ed his father. "I know that. So this Hokar goes free?' "Yes. He would not strangle Aaron Norman because he had but one eye, and Bhowanee won't accept maimed persons. Failing him, Mand had to at- tend to the job herself, with the assist- ance of Tray." "And this detective?" "Oh, Ford, with Sylvia's sanction, eoever. For the sake of his mother has paid him the £1,000, which he the young man buried the past and shares with his sister, Aurora Qian. But for her searching at Stowley and Beechill we should never have known about the marriage, you know." "No, I don't know. They're far too highly paid. The marriage would have come to light in another way. How- ever, waste your own money if you like. It isn't mine." "Nor mine either, father," said Paul sharply. "Sylvia will keep her own fortune. I am not a man to live on my wife. I intend to take a house in town when we are married, and then I'll still continue to write." "Without the spur of poverty you'll never make a hit," grinned the old gentleman. "However, you can live where you please. It's no business of mine, but I demand as your Indulgent father that you'll bring Sylvia down here at least three times a year. Whenever she is well I want to see her." "I'll bring her next week," said Paul, thinking of his mother. "But Deborah must come too. She won't leave Sylvia." "The house is big enough. Bring Mrs. Tawsey also. I'm rather anx- ious to see her. And Sylvia will be a good companion for your mother." So matters were arranged in this way, and when Paul returned to town he went at once • to tell Sylvia of the reconciliation. He found her, propped up with pillows, seated - by the fire, Stop That CoId To check early colds or Grippe with "Preventier" means suro defeat for Pneumonia.

Paul and his respected father sat up till late discussing the matter. "And now, sir," said Beecot senior, grasping the stem of his wineglass as though he intended to hurl it at his BOB, "let us gather up the threads of this infamous case. This atrocious woman who tried to strangle your fu- ture wife?' "She has been buried quietly. Her mother was at the funeral, and so was the father." "A pretty pair," gobbled the turkey - cock, growing red. "I suppose the government will bang the pair." "No; Captain Jessop can't be touch- ed, as ,he bad nothing to do with the murder, and Sylvia and myself are not going to prosecute him for his at- tempt to get the jewels from Pash. Mrs. Jessop, much broken in health because of her daughter's terrible end, has gono back with her husband to live at bis house in Stowley." "What!" shouted Beecot senior. MIs that she devil to go free too?" "I don't think she was so bad as we thought," said Paul. "I fancied she was a thoroughly bad woman, but she really was not. She certainly com- mitted bigamy, but then she thought Jessop was drowned. When he camo to life she preferred to live with Krill, as he had more money than Jessop." "And therefore Jessop, as you say, had free quarters at the Red Pig. A most immoral woman, sir -most im- moral. She ought to be decked "Poor wretch," said Paul, "her mind has nearly given way under the shock of her daughter's death.

"I am so glad, darling," she said, holding Paul's hand in her thin ones. "I should not have liked our marriage to have kept •you from your father." Mrs. Tawsey snorted. "His frantic par," she said, "ab, well, when I meet 'im if' he dares to say a word agin my pretty" - "My father is quite ready to wel- come her as a daughter," said Paul quickly.

COMEDY IN CRIME. ONE FARMER'S VIEW. Up in Grey County some years ago there was a farmer who had the name of being a wicked and worldly man. Ile caroused and loved a fight. But he was a fairly successful man. One year there was a famine for fodder, and it was feared that cattle would starve to death. As the season wore on and the situation grew des• perste, it was found that this man was supplied well beyond his needs. One day two men drove in to his place and offered him a big price for hay and oats. "Do you mann Dash?" he asked. "Cash down." "Have you got the money with you?" They said they had. "Let's see it," he demanded, and they produced it. "Well," he said, "I won't sell you a cent's worth, You've got the money, and you can buy fodder from other people, but some of my neighbors have neither fodder nor money, and I ain't goin' to see their stack starve." And ho was as good as his word. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 The London Urchin With the Bun Down His Back. It has been a matter so customary to look upon crime as tragedy and crimi- nals as tragedians that to aver that comedy Is more frequently to be found in crime than tragedy seems at first view paradoxical. Yet such is the ease. A little London urchin ran into a baker's shop and, placing a halfpenny on the counter, asked nervously and timorously, "Mister, 'ave you a 'alf- penny buster (bun)?" "Yes, my little man. quite hot." "Thanks, mister. Would you mind a-shoviu' it down my back?" "Down your back, my little mane Why down your back?" "Cos, sir, I'm only a little un, and If those chaps outside know I've a Luster they'll take it, and I am so'un- gry, I am" "Dear me, how wrong of them! Come round here, my little chap. There -there, it is down your back." The boy ran oil. In an instant an- other entered -a bigger boy. "1 say, mister, 'as a little been in 'ere?" Was in Bed for Three Months. Read how Mrs. T. G.

For use in winter, mangels or largo otock bents are one of the most popular of green food ma- torialo, on account of their feeding value, end the ease with which they may be grown, Cabbage is sometimes used, and clover or alfalfa hay are excellent substitutes.

"But tell me"- "Wot my pure angel sunbeam said?

I dare say she'll get off. I'm going to see her shortly and tell her of the terrible death of her daughter." Paul did not pursue the conversa- tion. He was sick with the horror of the business, and, moreover, was too anxious about Sylvia's health to take much interest in the winding up of the case. That be left in the hands of Hurd and assured him that the £1,000 reward, which Mrs. Krill bad offered, would man. Of course, Pash had known for some time that Mand was too old to have been born of Mrs. Jeasop's sec- ond marriage with Krill; but be never knew that the widow had committed bigamy. He counted on keeping her under his thumb by threatening to prove that Mand was not legally en- titled to the money. But when the discovery was made at Beechill and Stowley churches by Miss Qian, the monkey faced lawyer could do noth- ing. Beecot could have exposed him and for his malpractices have got him struck off the rolls; but he simply punished him by taking away Sylvia's business and giving it to Ford. That enterprising young so- licitor speedily placed the monetary affairs on a proper basis and saw that Sylvia was properly reinstated in her rights. Seeing that she was the only child and legal heiress of Krill, this was not difficult. The two women who had illegally secured possession of the money had spent a great deal in a very wasteful manner, but the dead morn's investments were so excel- lent and .judicious that Sylvia lost comparatively little and became pos- sessed of nearly five thousand a year, with a prospect of her income in- creasing. But she was too ill to ap- preciate this good. fortune. The case got into the papers, and every one was astonished at the strange sequel to the Gwynne street mystery. Beecot senior, reading the papers, learned that Sylvia was once more an heiress and forthwith held out an olive branch to Paul. More- over, the frantic old gentleman, as Deborah called him, really began to feel his years and to feel also that he had treated his only son rather harsh- ly. So he magnanimously offered to forgive Paul on no conditions what - be paid to him by Miss Nor - daughter had killed Lady Rachel and shielded her. But she was never sure it Maud had strangled Krill, as she feared ter ask her. But as the girl was out ail night at the time of the murder, Mrs. Jessop, I think, knows more than she chooses to admit. However, the treasury won't prosecute her, and her mind fa now weak. Let the poor cree- 1 tune end her days with Jessop, father. Is there anything else you wish to kno'wT' "That boy, Tray?' "He was tried for being an acces- sory before the crime, but his counsel put forward the plea of his age and that he had been under the influence of Mwud. He has been sent to a re- formatory for a good number of years. Ile may Improve." "Huh!" grunted the old gentleman, "Now that -that blackguard, Hay?" "Ile has gone abroad and is likely to remain abroad. Sandal and Tem- pest kept their word, but I think Hurd put it about that Play was a cheat and a scoundrel. Poor Hay," sighed Paul, "he bus ruined his career." "Bah! he never had one. If you pity scoundrels, Paul, what are you to think of good people?" "Such as Deborah, who is nursing my darling? I think she's the best wo- man in the world." "I suppose that Matilda Junk crea- ture had nothing to do with the mur- der?" asked Beecot senior. "No. She knew absolutely nothing and only attacked Deborah because she fancied Deborah was attacking Maud. However, the two sisters have made it up, and Matilda has gone back to the Red Pig. She's as decent a crea- ture as Deborah, in another way, and was absolutely ignorant of Maud's wickedness. Hurd guessed that when she spoke to him so freely at Christ- church." "And the thug?" "Hokar? Oh, he is not really a thug, but the descendant of one. However. they can't prove that he strangled any- thing beyond a few cats and dogs when he showed Mtiud how to use the roomal-that's the handkerchief with which the thugs strangled their vic- tims." "I'm not absolutely ignorant," growl- ed his father. "I know that. So this Hokar goes free?' "Yes. He would not strangle Aaron Norman because he had but one eye, and Bhowanee won't accept maimed persons. Failing him, Mand had to at- tend to the job herself, with the assist- ance of Tray." "And this detective?" "Oh, Ford, with Sylvia's sanction, eoever. For the sake of his mother has paid him the £1,000, which he the young man buried the past and shares with his sister, Aurora Qian. But for her searching at Stowley and Beechill we should never have known about the marriage, you know." "No, I don't know. They're far too highly paid. The marriage would have come to light in another way. How- ever, waste your own money if you like. It isn't mine." "Nor mine either, father," said Paul sharply. "Sylvia will keep her own fortune. I am not a man to live on my wife. I intend to take a house in town when we are married, and then I'll still continue to write." "Without the spur of poverty you'll never make a hit," grinned the old gentleman. "However, you can live where you please. It's no business of mine, but I demand as your Indulgent father that you'll bring Sylvia down here at least three times a year. Whenever she is well I want to see her." "I'll bring her next week," said Paul, thinking of his mother. "But Deborah must come too. She won't leave Sylvia." "The house is big enough. Bring Mrs. Tawsey also. I'm rather anx- ious to see her. And Sylvia will be a good companion for your mother." So matters were arranged in this way, and when Paul returned to town he went at once • to tell Sylvia of the reconciliation. He found her, propped up with pillows, seated - by the fire, Stop That CoId To check early colds or Grippe with "Preventier" means suro defeat for Pneumonia.

Paul and his respected father sat up till late discussing the matter. "And now, sir," said Beecot senior, grasping the stem of his wineglass as though he intended to hurl it at his BOB, "let us gather up the threads of this infamous case. This atrocious woman who tried to strangle your fu- ture wife?' "She has been buried quietly. Her mother was at the funeral, and so was the father." "A pretty pair," gobbled the turkey - cock, growing red. "I suppose the government will bang the pair." "No; Captain Jessop can't be touch- ed, as ,he bad nothing to do with the murder, and Sylvia and myself are not going to prosecute him for his at- tempt to get the jewels from Pash. Mrs. Jessop, much broken in health because of her daughter's terrible end, has gono back with her husband to live at bis house in Stowley." "What!" shouted Beecot senior. MIs that she devil to go free too?" "I don't think she was so bad as we thought," said Paul. "I fancied she was a thoroughly bad woman, but she really was not. She certainly com- mitted bigamy, but then she thought Jessop was drowned. When he camo to life she preferred to live with Krill, as he had more money than Jessop." "And therefore Jessop, as you say, had free quarters at the Red Pig. A most immoral woman, sir -most im- moral.

COMEDY IN CRIME. ONE FARMER'S VIEW. Up in Grey County some years ago there was a farmer who had the name of being a wicked and worldly man. Ile caroused and loved a fight. But he was a fairly successful man. One year there was a famine for fodder, and it was feared that cattle would starve to death. As the season wore on and the situation grew des• perste, it was found that this man was supplied well beyond his needs. One day two men drove in to his place and offered him a big price for hay and oats. "Do you mann Dash?" he asked. "Cash down." "Have you got the money with you?" They said they had. "Let's see it," he demanded, and they produced it. "Well," he said, "I won't sell you a cent's worth, You've got the money, and you can buy fodder from other people, but some of my neighbors have neither fodder nor money, and I ain't goin' to see their stack starve." And ho was as good as his word. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 The London Urchin With the Bun Down His Back. It has been a matter so customary to look upon crime as tragedy and crimi- nals as tragedians that to aver that comedy Is more frequently to be found in crime than tragedy seems at first view paradoxical. Yet such is the ease. A little London urchin ran into a baker's shop and, placing a halfpenny on the counter, asked nervously and timorously, "Mister, 'ave you a 'alf- penny buster (bun)?" "Yes, my little man. quite hot." "Thanks, mister. Would you mind a-shoviu' it down my back?" "Down your back, my little mane Why down your back?" "Cos, sir, I'm only a little un, and If those chaps outside know I've a Luster they'll take it, and I am so'un- gry, I am" "Dear me, how wrong of them! Come round here, my little chap. There -there, it is down your back." The boy ran oil. In an instant an- other entered -a bigger boy. "1 say, mister, 'as a little been in 'ere?" Was in Bed for Three Months. Read how Mrs. T. G.
