When I got the facts and details I felt helpless to aocomplieh anything. Ile was a young man of 23, named Graham, and was of respeot able family.

In the eitay. going, pleasure.loving spirit which takes possession of moth of us we are apt to forget that there is going on within no a silent foroefal growth of ideas and ten. denotes whioh will gradually gain an as- cendancy over us, and become the masters of our lives. We are what our thoughts are. It is therefore ot the first importance that our habit of thought should be elevate Ing, and that the subjects upon which we dwell should be those which will raise rather than debase us. The great letter -writer who had the care of the churches upon him under. stood this a very long time ago, and in his Epistle to the Philippians he emphasized it. It was a true love -letter that he wrote to those people, in whom he had great ioy and satisfaction and for whom he wished the - best and highest blessings. There are 1380- *, and Paul mint have known such., in whom there appears, to us a homely phrase, " nothing to begin upon," and it seems rather hopeless to try to make excelient cheese:tem out of them ; but to this class the Philippiens did thrt duly not be. long. Taey had proved themselves Chris - Harts indeed; they believed in Christ and suffered for Nis sake; •they loved Paul, and he loved them so much that "in every prayer of his for them, he made his request with joy." They were indeed, so good that in seemed possible that, they. shoald reach the perfection which he desired for them; and in order to this, he told them what sub. jeota they were to choose tor their contem- plation and reflection. "Finally, brethren, whataoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are jot, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good. report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, aka the9e things " Paul knew that if they did their whole lives would, in consequence, be more beautiful, more helpftel, more altogether Chrietlike. The advice hi as good for ne as for those members of the Philippian Mural), and quite as nectheary to tzs as to them, for we, too, need to watch our thoughts. Especially .to those who are young and who desire to ruie to the eminence which is truly Christian are the apoatleie words to be eommended. "Bat' some will perhaps say, "We cannot help our thoughts," Oh yea indeed we can. All sorts of thoughts may dash into the mind; but the disciplined heart will so ignore those which are wrong that they will soon pass away. ,Guests will present themselves at our doors, but we may either harbour them or send them from us. Evil thoughts will not stay unless they receive a welcome any more than good ones will.

The house stood back from the road in a grove of trees, and was approathed by two paths or drives from the front. Gra- ham fully intended th enter the house, but when he came upon the grounds his courage failed him. • He Was afraid he might say or do something rash in his present mood, and very sensibly deoided to return to town and defer his oall till the next day. • Next morning his rival's dead body was found on one of the drives, about half way between the house and the fence.

Two of the negro servants werceat once arrested, but before noon they were set at liberty and Graham was taken into custody. The chain already contained several links. °them were added the moment he was arrested. He was dreadfully agitated, hesitated to ace knowledge that he had been near the place, and a blood stain was found on the right sale of his vest.

A young man, Many members of the Vietnese aristoorsey Frank Meyero, had beeome infatuated with a have been swindled in buying braes filings doubtful woman. The affair created a than - dal, and his father and Mende made every effort to break it up. The young male was finally brought to see the error of his ways, but when he attempted to sever the tie the woman tiought to hold him by threats. This angered him, and he indulged in ROM hard talk of whathe would do in oese she further annoyed him. Thus matters stood when he set out one evening to see her and make it lath attempt to settle. It was a summer night, and they were seen walking in the eaburbs of the town. They were overheard in angry talk. She defied him. He return. ed home pale and exoited, his olothing dis- arranged, and his face bleeding from wretches. An hour later she was found dead, choked to death. • Young Meyers was arrested at midnight. He did not even assert his inumence. It was only on his examination that he protest- ed, and even his own father believed. him guilty. I happened to be in the town, and the way I came into the case was by relating the inoidents of the one I heve already sear - rated. The prisoner hinmell sent for me and bold me this story : "1 mob the woman Mrs Albrightby appointment. We walked out on Clark avenue to be alone. I told her that my mind was firmly made up to see her no more, and she WM very angry. I should have returned with her, butat the little bridge she ordered me to leave her, threatening to do desperate things if I did not relenb by the morrow. I did not return by the high- way, as our meeting was a secret one and I did not want it known. I crossed a corn- er of the graveyard, fell off the fence as I did so, and there my face was scratched by the briers. "But you hardly denied your guilt," I said. • "Because I was confused and stunned by my arrest, and because I saw no me of it," he replied. "1 have told you the truth. I want pm to help me prove myself clear." I left him with the feeling that he was ly- ing to me, and that nothing could be done in his case. Ten or twelve days had daps. ed, but there had been no rain. I went th the bridge, crossed the creek at the point he told me th, and soon came upon his trail. At the graveyard fence I found a broken rail and the spot where he had fallen. I found the briers broken and mulled, and from the thorns I gathered several small fragments belonging to the suit he wore. Furbher on he had stepped into a ditoh where mud was soft at the time. It had now dried hard and preserved the print. I measured it, and when I returned to town I had begun th believe that Meyers was eithera good talker or an innocent man. His story Was all right in one sense, but al; wrong in the other. Did he make the teal while leaving the woman alive or dead? An old saying always goes with an arrest: "If he didn't do it, who did ?" Somebody mud be held responsible. After two or three interviews a oh young Meyers and his parents, I doubted if he could have choked the woman to death. He was frail and in poor health, and she was robitt and strong: She had scarcely struggled at • all, proving that she had been attacked suddenly and that the grip was a terrible One. Her neck was discolored as well as her throat, proving thin) two large hands had been employed. However, no suspicious characters had been seen in the neighborhood, and the murder- er, if other than Meyers, had made his escape. I was completely blocked, and could only hope that accident would help me out. Ib had been said that the body had not been robbed. The only theory seemed tio be revenge. 11 15 was not Meyers, then it was some former lover, and I went to Cincinnati to make inquiries. On the way up my watch stopped, and my first call was at a jeweller's. • I had nob been in his place guy seconds when in walked a stout strong fellow, who laid a lady's watoh on the showcase and said: "lam going away, and 1 want to sell thia. It belonged to my wife, who is dead." "We don't buy second-hand we.thhes," re- plied the jeweller, but he carelessly picked the watch up, examined it and then said: • "This is one of our watches. I remember selling R two or three months ago." "Fes," replied the man, reaching out for "Let's aee the mote," continued the jew- eller as he went for a book.

He tried to draw his pistol, but I was too quick for him. The police recognized him as a bully and a degraded character, and inside of half a day I had established the fact that he was formerly talover of the murdered wo. neat. Then I trued him to the depot and on the train to the village, and later on found two villagers who • remembered seeing him there that night. When I had got him reasonably sure 1 confronted hint with my fedi, and he broke down and and made a full confessone He and the woman were bleeding young Meyers. He had come out to see her that night, and he had found her on the bridge and quarreled with her. She was desperete and defiant, and in a fit of passion he had choked her to death.

When I came upon the ground, the State had its case all worked up, and when I went over it to look for a Raw 1 could find none. I had to acknowledge that I Was without hope. Indeed, I believed Graham guilty. His own expleatationa rather strengthened Shat belief. Lossing's house faced the east. The highway in front run north and south. The lawn was twenty rods wide, and one drive led in from the north and the other irom the south end. Graham approached from the north. He would naturally turn in at the firth drive, but he olelmed to have gone on to the second. He followed it to the house, tmesea easure paiyed for two or three minutes with the dogs, and then circled about the fish pond, and took a short out across the grove and struck the road, not hittirg the north path at all. •The dead man had come from the village as well, soil on foot. He had oozne and attempted to return by the north drive. If Graham was innocent, who wes guilty? • Not the slightest suspicion had been direcia ed elsewhere. Di 'seemed hopeless to look. I questioned and cross•questioned him, but he amid not give me the slighted foundation for a ohm or a theory. What I got mune by accident.

The blood would nob spurt from such a blow. The body had not been lifted, and so how did Graham get that blood stain? Accident gave me the know- ledge. I was looking the ground over at Lossing's for the foutth or fifth time, when one of the dogs came and leaped upon me in O caressing way.
