"I was in my bathroom," she said, "preparing for bed, when I heard two sudden explosions somewhere in the house. I was terribly startled, of course. 1 couldn't tell at first which room in the house they came from because they made a sort of muffled roar that filled the whole house; and then I remembered something, and I dashed upstairs to Uncle Rufus's study—" "One moment, please," interrupted the deputy coroner. "What was it you remembered that caused you to think of your uncle?" "I remembered that he had recently received several anonymous letters, containing threats against -his life." "Did he show you these letters?" "No; but he told me about them. I believe they came from the friends of some men whom he had sentenced to the penitentiary. He didn't take them very seriously. In fact, he—" "I see. Tell us what you found, please, when you entered the study." The girl's fingers twisted together in excessive nervousness, . She Lifted her eyes momentarily, glanced appeal- ingly at the faces around her, and lowered them again. "I—it is very difficult to tell you about it. It was so—so horrifying! I saw uncle sitting at his desk. I called his name. He didn't answer. And then I saw—he was dead!" The last three words were uttered in a whisper. "What did you do then?" asked the coroner. "I screamed, as loudly as I could. After that, I suppose I must have fainted. I knew nothing more till I woke up in bed." "Miss Blackburn," said the deputy coroner, "to your knowledge, who was the last person with your uncle before his death?" "I think it was Mr. MeKinlock." "Now then, do you know whether or not your uncle and Mr. McKinlock quarreled?" "He called on Uncle Rufus twice last night. The first time I heard them talking angrily. I didn't hear them the second time." "You saw him go to the study the second time?" THE SEA.., OF SECRECY By EDWIN BAIRD, CN.APTER VIh Quinn Is Arrested. CIIAPTER IX. Marjorie's Despair. I.

Again Quinn nodded, not looking None that was serious." 1 "Prior to his death last night, had up'• �' you any feeling of enmity against hint ?" "Certainly not!" she declared; and Quinn saw a warm flush spread slow- ly over her pale cheeks. The coroner opened a small black valise, on the floor beside his chair, and took out the pearl -handled re- volver, "Is this your property, Hiss Black- burn?" She lifted her gaze and beheld the revolver—and then, suddenly,with an inarticulate cry, she sat bolupright in her chair, staring at the weapon in speechless amazement, her blue eyes wide with a nameless horror. The sudden hush in the room was ended by the coroner repeating his query. "Yes," she whispered huskily, her hands gripping the arms of the chair. "I—yes; it belongs to me." "Are you aware, Miss Blackburn, than this revolver—which you say is yours—is the one that killed your uncle?" Marjonie opened her mouth as if to speak, then shook her head, nega- tively. "It was found," said the coroner, "beside his dead body, a few minutes after he was killed. Two of the chambers were empty. The two bul- lets that killed him were removed this morning. They corresponded with the remaining four in the revolver, being of the same mold and calibre. How Miss do you account for that, M ss Black - bur ?" "I—I—c-can't—" she began falter- ingly, then stopped, unable to con- tinue. The coroner removed the sheet of blue note -paper from the satchel. "Is this your property, Miss Black- burn?" I—,it looks like a sheet of my sta- tionery." She spoke with evident fear, as if dreading what was to follow. "I'll now ask you," said the coroner, handing her the sheet of paper, "if you wrote the message contained thereon." She read the crude words, and when she handed the note back, the color had gone from her face. "Nol" she gasped, "I never 54.w it before." "Do you know who night have written it?" "I can't imagine! It's too horrible! I can't understand—" She stopped suddenly and asked: "Was that note found in uncle's study?" "Yes; on his desk." "Who found it?" The coroner hesitated, deliberating his answer. "Both the note and the revolver," he said at last, "were found by Mr. Quinn." For the first time, she looked. at Quinn, and the despairing reproach in her eyes seared him to the soul. He realized in a flash of agony the thought that must surely be in her mind. - And there was nothing he could do—nothing he could say. Sud- denly he uttered a sharp exclamation and sprang forward.

Black Days. Without the atmosphere many pe- culiar things would be observed that would seem extraordinary to us. The sun would rise in the morning into a sky black as ebony, and sink down to rest at night into a black. bed. No beautiful glories of the sun- set and sunrise would appear, no blue- ness of the heavens, no red sun grad- ually growing brighter, but one that wood rise as a fiery orb and remain thus all day. No twilight or day- break to cheer us, for there would be nothing to diffuse light. Unless the sun shone directly on a thing we should not see it. Thus- our houses would have to be made of some transparent substance or else be artificially lighted in the daytime. No voice or music could be heard, for there would be no medium to carry sound; I no birds or insects could flit about in the trees, for there would be nothing to enable them to utilize their wing motion. No vegetation could exist, and no animal could live. This is believed to be the exact con- dition of affairs on the moon. What of To -day?

The clouds have spread sideways as far as they can; now they begin, to grow heavier. The heated air from the earth below push- es through the heavy layer and bulges it. upward. Higher and higher it is pushed, while more and more inots- ture condenses, and this great bulging mass of vapor, sometimes three or four miles high, has become a thun- dercloud, Its bulging tops axe called - thunder peaks or thunder heads, end they are responsible for the lightning. the heaviness of rainfall and the hail wo sometimes have in nnideuntnter. The energy of a thunderstorm is amazing, says a writer In Popular Mechanics. A single great cloud may contain billions of pounds of water vapor. The flashes of llghtuing from cloud to cloud are sometimes twenty miles in length, and when wo stop to think that it takes a current of 7.5,000 volts pressure to produce a spark an inch long, we can only wonder at the approximate amount of electricity In- volved in a single flash. Sometimes the wind of a thunder- cloud or the "squall," as it is called. is violent enough to level trees, and ie improperly called a tornado. There is a big difference. A tornado is a vio- lent whirlpool of air that sweepe across the country and twists oft trees and roofs in its path. The wind from a thunderstorm blows straight away from the storm and never twists. The tornado is always dangerous, while the wind from a thunderstorm is only occasionally dangerous. Broadly speaking, there are three general stages in the development .of ' a thunderstorm. There must be strong currents of moist air rising from the earth, as indicated by the appearance of the white patches of cloud. This condition meat continue until the sky is covered, And lastly, the force of these upward currents must be great enough to push the clouds up into thunder heads. A thundenstmen then results, Italy's Throned Democrat. With her great expansion of terri- tory, Italy bids fair to become greater than at any time since the days of Imperial Reme. And Italy owes her present position chiefly to her Royal !family. About the time when William of Normandy conquered England there arose iu Upper Burgundy a baron walled Humbert of the White Hand, whose motto was "Avant: Savoie," which means, "Go ahead, Savoy." Ile was the ancestor of the present King of Italy. The Savoyards: kept the gate of Italy, They were rough to atrannet•s, but the, dukes treated their subjects well, and these people enjoyed a liberty unknown to peasants in other countries, One of the dukes, Amadeus VIII., who lived in the fourteenth century, left this charge to his descendants: "Be upright and conetant in adminis- tering justice, temperate in severity, slow to revenge, merciful and clement, prudent in taxation, lovers of your subjects, eager for peace, heaters of unjust wares. Choose wise counsellors and servants, and lot peace rest upon firm grounds." Truly a wonderful pronouncement for those savage days 1 This duke afterwardq- andicatod, turnedhermit, and was later elected Pope. , For generations Turin was the ensil- e] of the princes of Savoy, and the city became famous all over Europe as a centre of learning and of the best government in Europe. A11 through history the rulers of Savoy, new icings of Italy, have done their best for their people. On Oc- tober 27th, 1871, Victor Emmanuel IT., grandfather of the present lying, was able to assure the Parliament of United Italy: That work t.o which wo have cones orated our lives is accomplished." To -flay Victor Emmanuel III., wbo is fifty-one this year, has gone a step further.
