> THE STORY OF A CRIME. I was asked the other day how many cases I had known, in my lont4 experieiicL- an a detective, of innocent people beinx convicted and punished for the crimes of otherH? My answer was: "Only one," and the case is well worth relating and reading. I began my detective career in Canada, and in a locality where justice made awift work of evildoers. I had been three years in the business, and had done some very fair work, when a very sensational case was put into my hands. Three miles from the city of B lived a rctiretl merchant named Urafton. He had a hue mansion, elef^aut grounds and plenty of money, but his wife was an insane patient in his own house, and the only child, a boy of I'J, was half idiot. Grafton was a silent partner in several concerns in the city, but spent (our- fifths of his time at home. His wife was never seen, while the young man lived more like a wild animal thana human being, the greater part of his time Iwiug spent in the woods and fields, no matter what the weather. Urafton had as coachman. gardener and hired man a German about 35 years of age. who had been in the country about five years when I first saw him at the house. There were three female servants, and one of them was a girl 18 years of age named Jennie Price, whose mother was a very respectable widow in the city. The girl was alloweti to go home every other Saturday and always rode in with Fritz, the coachman, as he went to market, ran home for an hour or two, and then returned by the "»me vehicle. It was reported that Fritz was in love with and jealous of her Will L.rafton, the half idiot, had also taken a "shine " to her, but his attentions wore laughed to scorn by the pretty Jeume and her companions. Now, then, in the afternoon o! •. ^.trtain Hth of July several weighty incidents oc- curred. Fritz received a letter with a foreign nostmark, and was very much excit«d. ' He was seen running to the bam with the letter in his hand, and, ten min- utes later, was heard shouting and storm- ing to himself as if greatlv enraged and exeited. The servants said to each other that he must have received bad news, but non» -of them went to investigate and con sole him. It was Jennie's day to go home, but Grafton was indisposed. Fritz suddenly disappeared, and W ill was not allowed to drive the hor»e«. The xirl. therefore, de- cide<l to set out on foot, and take her cbancotof gettinii a lilt on the road, bhe left at H oVTc-k in the afternoon, and was to return by noon ne.\t day. Saturday night it was discovered that Fritz had left the house and locality, not even asking for his wages, while Will had set oft on one of his erratic e.xcursious, having been seen by the cook to pack up some provisions. Jennie did not return on Sunday or Mon day or Tuesday, and Grafton drove into tuwu on Wednesday and sent a message to her howie. Shu had not been home, and an invealigatiou revealed the fact that none of her friends had seen her for two weeks. It was a case of " mysterious disappear- ance," and I came into it having little doubt that it would turn out like the majoritv of such cases. However, when I had learned that the girl wassteady as well as haiidsdiue, and that every body had per- fect confidence in her principles, I went to the Grafton mansion to begin my search there. This was on Thursday morning, and it now seemed pretty plain that some calamitv had befallen the girl. In an hour I learned all the incidents related above. <trafton was very anxious m the matter, telling me to spare no expense, but when 1 began to question Will, the young man turned on his heel and walked off, as it deaf an.l dumb. 1. however, had a chance to look over him for a couple of minutes, and 1 made a note of several things. A button had been torn off his coat with such force as to tear the cloth. He had two scratches on the right cheek and one on the right hand. One finger of the left hand was tied up in a rag, and the cook, who tied it up for him, told me that something had bitten him severely It was a quarter of a milefrouithe house to the highway, with a carr.age road run- ning straight "from the front door. The road was taken by any of the servants who were going to tow"u on foot. By making a cut through a wixxi they saved at least half a mile in distance. I'he girl Jennie had been neen to take this path on that Satur- day, and my search lay in that direction. T'he woods covered about ten acres, and were not underbrushed. The path was well defined, and was a romantic walk for a summer's day. the forest being alive with haroK, squarrels and birds. Half way through the wooils the path traversed li dell about half an acre in e.Uent. It was while crossing this that 1 got my first clew. Several feet to the right of the path was Jennie's parasol, and as I picked it up I found that it had been badly broken. * While it was closed, an she would l-e likely to carrv it through the wooils, four ribs were broken and the handle loosened, and 1 felt certain that she had used it as a weapon of defence. Fifty feet further on, and right of the path, I found her handbag. Across the dell, in the thick woods again. I found a bow from her throat on a bush, ami here the earth had been torn up and the bushes broken down to prove a struggle- It was one whicli must have lasted for some time and been fiercely contestwi. and I had no sooner l.Hikeil over the ground than I knew that Jennie'^ dead btnly would be found somewhere in the woods. As to the Uvalitv. 1 soon louiid broken t„igsâ€" a bit of dress on a bush heavy footprints in the rich soil, and other plain evidences of her being dragged or along through the undergrowth to a !'>'iMt twenty rods from the path. T'hore, m .i: tl.in t.venty feet open space not iiiore 8<tuare. with a thicket on three sides, I found the bodv. Decomposition had set in. of course, and'the odorvreeted my nostrils before uiv »ve8 made the discovery. That a"nimder had been cominitteil there could l)e no doubt. The girl lay on her back, her feet dr kwn up, her clothing badly t^irn and in disorder, and while one hand olinched a stout stick, the other had a dying clutch on a coat button just a match (L>r those left on Will tirafton's coat. She ha>l been chokeil to death, and was a horrible sight, her eyes sto<xl wide oivn, her Lontiiie out and a look of agony on her bloatetl fine. I examined the finger nails and found blixnl clawed the half- idiot's face and hand. On the ground was a tobacco-box, which he afterward identified and boldly claimed. A murder had been committed, and I had dis- covered the murderer ; but I was not as enthusiastic over it as you mav have imagined. He was the son of a millionaire and the father would spend his last dollar to save him. Riches control public opinion, and. in some instances, the verdict of juries. After an examination lasting a quarter of an hour and having! carefully gathered and preserved all possible proofs, I set out to bring the coroner and a jury. I had evidence enough to warrant me in arresting Will Grafton at once, but I felt that it would be safer to go slow and wait for the opinion of the jury. It was a matter of two hours before the officer and his jury arrived, and all had not viewed the b<xly when Mr. Grafton and two or three others arrived in an excited state of mind and announced that F'ritz. the coachman, had been captured, and had partially conftssed to the deed. This news was, as you may imagine, a shock to me. I had not, in the first place, heard that the coachman was suspected, although he had gone off .so hurriedly. Mr. Grafton had utterly refused to point the finger of suspicion that way during our talk in the morning, but had held to the theory that the girl had run off with some giddy companions to lead a less res|)ectable career. His statement that Fritz was probably guilty so upset me that I kept my proofs lu my pocket and gave the jury no hmt. The inquest was ad- journed until evening, and was then re- sumed at the house, while Fritz was present in charge of an ofticer. He had been arrested at a town thirty miles away, and attention had been first called to him by his attempt to commit suicide by drown- ing. When I barged with the murtler he di(l not ileiiy it. When pressed to make a confession he uttered a groan of despair and replied : " Maybe I did, for I have been crazy for four or five ilays. Let me go and kill myself. " When searched a few shillings in money and a ()Ocket-knife and other articles were found on his person. He was free of wounds or bruises of any sort, and no but- tons were missing from his garments. Before he was calW to face the jury I began to groi>e for the cause of his fii;;ht. It could not be for the murder of the girl, for he was innocent. It must be on account of information received in that foreign letter. I went at once to his room m the barn, which no one had yet examined, and there 1 found the envelope intact, but the letter torn into twenty fragments and tlung on the floor. I gathered up the pieces and pasted them together, and then had the clew to his actions. It wasa letter from his mother in Germany, and it c-ou- tamed two pieces of imixjrtaiit news. First, the mother, who was a widow, had been robbed of her every dollar by investing in some wildcat speculation on the advice of friends, and. secondly, the girl whom Fritz exiwcted to return home and marry in a year had been wedded to another. Fritz was made half crazy by the news, and his sole desire seemed to be to get out of the neighborhood as fast as possible. The coroner. Mr. Grafton and myself held an interview with him in private. The coroner was an ignoramus, and he was onlv too glad to surrender his official privil^es to Clrafton, who eagerly accepted them. It was plain from the start that he meant to catch poor Fritz in the toils. " How could you do such a horrible thing?" he asked, as we were ready to proceed. " Tell us all about it." Fritz began weeping. " Did you kill Jennie because she refused to' marry you ' Yes, that was the reason. You lay in wait for her in the woods. Fritz kept up a sobbing and moaning. " I am sorrv for yon, and will do all 1 CM\ for vou,"but the law must take its course. I'erhaps the jury will say that you were crazy, and that you should not be punished I hope it will, for you are a good man, and 1 don't believe you knew what you were doing. Well, coroner, have you any doubts of the prisoner's guilt â- .'" " None, sir." " And you, Mr. '?" " I have verv serious doubts." I replie^l. " What .' Haven't you been listening to the examination '.'•'' " But he has admitted nothing. " " His actions bespeak his guilt as plain as day. and we shall now take him before the jury and press him uutil he admits the murder." Before Fritz was taken into the room where the jury was sitting and many siwc- tators were assembled. Grafton was per- mitteil to interview him in private for half an hour. When questioned before the jury he said : " 1 may be the one. I had a great trouble come upon me, and I don't know what 1 did or where I went. If it was me I am sorrv." oil the strength of this the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the girl Jennie c vme to hor death at the hands of Fritz, and he was taken off to jail and a warrant sworn out. I felt certain that Will Grafton had killed the girl, and I expected to ex hibit my pro<.>fs before the jury, but when I SAW ciraflon take the matter into his hands 1 realized that he suspected and was prtpariHl to defeat mp. The son Will was pr«sont during all tlve proceeilings. and he wiire the identical coat from which the button had been torn. Two of the ser vaiits informed me that he had worn the garment right along every .'av for six months. When 1 saw that the verdict of the coroner's jury was a foregone con elusion, and that Fritz would be held. 1 deteruiineil to hold my hand until a proiH'r time. In m> report of the case to my superior I simply mentioned that Fritz >.iad confessed and been placed Muder arVest. , , On the second day after F ritz had been sent to jail Grafton aecaivd an interview with him on the excuse of providing him with 11 liiw>er. In that interview he secured the foriowing written confession : I am MOW (luite sure that 1 killed the girl. 1 got news in a letter which made me lose m\ head, and I leinembcr meeting Jennie ill the wooils and thinking she was to blame for all my troubles. 1 don't want to live, and I shall plead guilty and ask them to hang me. Throe days later, when 1 guessed that the prisoner's despondency had vanishetl. and that the thought of the gallows would paid him a visit. I had b*xn doing udme good work in his favor. " Fritz." I said. " you read yoar letter in the barn, didn't vou?" " Yes." " You tore it up after reading. " •â-  Yes ; I remember." " You were about to go for one of the horses down in the pasture. When you left the barn yon took a halter with you." " I remember." " You reached the lot, threw the halter into a fence-comer, and then starte<i cff by the old path leading to the cider-uiiU. When you passed the school house you were bareheaded, and you had not been from homo twenty minutes. ' "I remember children shouting after me." •' I have followeil you down that high way for twelve miles. Then you turned eaiit by a red school-house, and I have trace<i you six miles further. 1 can show by the servants at the house that you were under their eyes when the girl left, und for an hour after. Then your letter came, and you ran to the barn to read it. Now, then, how could you have killed the girl ' " I don't' know ; but, if I didu t, who did â- >â- ' '• Whose knife is this ?" •â-  That's William's." " XukI this button ?" " Is off his coat." I had all the proofs any lawyer would want to clear F'ritz. I could prove that when he left the house he went to the barn, and from the barn he went in an opposite direction from the route the girl ook. I had twenty witnesses who met him here or there on the highway for a distance of eighteen miles. Before leaving the jail I convinced him of his innocence, and in a moment life seemed precious to him. and he was ready to fight for his liberty. I left him to return to p<}lii.e headquarters, but had not traverse^! a square when a runaway horse struck me down, breaking an arm, three ribs, and fracturing my skull. For the next four weeks 1 was delirious off and on. and my head was just coming back to me when 1 heard that Fritz had been tried for the murder and found guilty. The news came to me through the cries of the news- boys on the street, and 1 at once suffereil a relapse, and this time was on the threshold of death's door for man> weeks. When I came back to myself I was weak and help- less, and uiv memory would not serve me. It was one iay when I felt a desire to sit up. and when the details of the past came crowding into mv brain, that I asked about Fritz. He had been hanged the day before '. â€" .Vfir Yirk .S'liH.

Teeth are just as easily starved to death as the stomach, said a lecturer before a Brooklyn audience the other night. The fact is that you and your fathers have from generation to generation been in- dustriously starving your teeth. In one way it is a blessing to have been b<jrn of poor parents. What food the poor give their children is of a variety that goes to make strong bones and teeth. It is the outside of all the grains of all cereal foods that contains the carbonate and phosphate of Ume. and traces of other earthy salts. which nourish the bony tissues and bailU the frame up. If we do not furnish to the teeth of the young that pabulum they re- quire, they cannot possibly be built up. It is the outside of corn, oats, wheat, barley and the like, or the bran, so-called, that we sift away and feed to the swine, that the teeth actually re<iuire for their proper nourishment. The wisdom of man has proven his folly, shown in every succeeding generation of teeth, which become more and more fragile and weak. These riouriug mills in Minneapolis are working destruc- Mon upon the teeth of every man, woman and chUd who partakes of their fine bolted flour. They sift out the carbonates and the pboepliates of lime in Older that they may provide that fine white flour, which is proving a whitened sepul- chre to the teeth. Oatmeal is >>ae of the best foods for supplying the teeth with nourishment. It makes the dentin cementum and enamel strong, riint like an able to resist all forms of decay. If you have children, never allow any white bread upon your table, (.iraham bread is made of whole wheat ground, not bolted, so that the bran, which contains the minute quan- tities of lime, is present. To make a good, wholesome, nourishing bread, take two bowls of wheat meal and one Ijowl of white or bolted flour, and make by the usual pro- cess. Nothing is suijerior to Boston brown bread for bone and tooth building. This is made out of rye meal and corn meal. Baked beans, too, have a considerable sup- ply of these lime salts and should be on your tables, hut or cold, at least three times a week. Tlie teeth should be cleansed at least rive times a day. Without this, the particles of food, which contain acids and adhere, cat gradually into the enamel. I'se castile or other goixl soapon the brush.

The child was on her way to school, and had with her a large satchel full of booka. She waa pale, tall and thin. The muiicles ol her face twitched convulsively, and she oaold not keep her hands and feet still. She waa sufferiii;; from chorea, or St. Vitus' dance, and, in addition, had almost constant bead - ache and other symptoms of nervous de- rangement. In the course of my examina- tion I abke<i her to empty her satchel of the books it contained, and which, as she informed me, she had been studying that morning and the night before. This is the list : 1. .\n English grammar, 'i. .\ scholars' companion. i. An arithmetic. 4. A geo- graphy. ;â- >. A history of the United States. >>.
