It may all amount to nothlug. It may be of the most vital importance. Now how can I be sure of knowing the earliest moment that I can risk demanding an Interview-without danger to her health?" "I know Dr. Barry." "But you can't tell Dr. Barry why you want to know.

From the way you threatened to use that knowledge -have been going on, I didn't know but! rt Is not impossible to believe that what you were going to take the case Prtltetton might resort 10 blackmail on out of my hands entirely. Now, how occasion. He was very hard up and soon can I see Mrs. Broughton?" Mrs.

Broughton is a very wealthy I "I don't know, but not Immediately. woman so long as her marriage is not I saw Dr. Barry this morning. He impugned. And If we suppose for a thinks her condition serious.

And great relief to her so great that It the 1 utra.v have to take our chances v-i that. But we don't want to help him. And if bj chance Mrs. Broughton should have nothing to confess except that she saw Lawrence assault Fullerton, we don't want to help Bede to that bit of testimony. It Is quite on the cards that that is what she will have to tell me, too.

Have you considered that?" "I don't think she will," said Lyon, slowly. "Do you happen to have any reason for that assurance? Your theories are Interesting, young man. If you have any more of them in reserve, I'd like to hear them." But Lyon shook his head. "My theory Is based on the assumption that Lawrence really knows no more about the affair than he has told you." "I hope it may prove so." said How-ell, somewhat dubiously. "In the meantime, bear In mind that I must have a chance to see Mrs.

Broughton quietly at the earliest possible moment. Good Lord, man. the Grand Jury meets In ten days from now. Now, have you any suggestions as to how that lutervlew-can he arranged without notice to the: public and without any chance of a slip-up?" "I have Just secured a letter of in- troduction to one of the pupils In Miss Elliott's School-Miss Kittle said Lyon. "I thought that it might prove useful in keeping In close touch with the situation." Howell's gray eyes twinkled appre-; datively.

"It strikes me that you are, wasted as a mere newspaper man. You have talents. Go ahead and lm- I prove your acquaintance with Miss I ivuiie. ittJit is sater man to depeno upon nr. Barry, because he might be biased.

Bede had known: He must still keep faith with Lawrence, who had trusted him; but was It not possible to help Lawrence gainst his will through the lawyer? He picked his way carefully. "I don't really know very much, Mr.

Howell. I guess at some things, and I shall be glad to lay my little knowledge before you. But first, tell me. Is Lawrence's situation really" danger- "Yes," said Howell, tersely. "You see, an alibi is out of the question, lie has admitted that he was In the neigh borbood.

Donohue's testimony shows 1 that he might easily have been on the very spot. Certainly he was not far from it. Yet he offers no explanation aa to whnt he was rlAlns! there. That Fullerton could have hern struck down there must have been some sort of as altercation and Lawrence neither see nor hear anything, is certainly curious. That his cane should have been found on the spot Is certainly unfortunate.

That he should have publicly slapped Fullerton's face that1 morning is the devil's own luck, Frankly, Mr. Lyon, unless I can in some way discover the actual facts of that night's proceedings, the prospects ror Clearing Lawrence are not cheerful.

"There were a number of books on divorce on the table, as though he had just been looking up the subject or dismissing it with a client. You know Fuller ton was Mrs. Yanderburg's attorney." "You are leading up to something." "This.

"Mrs. Broughton is not in Wayn- I scott." es. is staying with Miss Elliott on Locust avenue." "But the paners have not mentioned it.

Are you sure?" She is very quiet under the care of Dr. Barry, and suffering from a nervous shock which dates from Monday night." Howell's foot tapped nervously upon the floor. "But this Is amazing. If not incredible. Mow do you come to know1 it or think you know It?" "I have seen and talked with Mrs.

Broughton." "Yes. She sent for me to ask for Informal ion about Lawrence.

"Well, I had the advantage of know. Howell started to his feet and paced ing that Mrs. Broughton was in town, the room in suppressed excitement. I don't think Bode does."

The dial shows the times at vhich these bodies rise, south, and set he age of the moon, and Its phases, th late, the time of clay or night, and the ilgns of the zodiac, through which the un and moon nass durine ihe vear. Tr right of this dial Is sho vn 'the of the sun. which shows the position of the sun in the constellations every men- ty-eight years.

At the end of this cycle that fact. "I'll do my best." said Lyon. "And that is a good deal," said' Howell, with a sincerity that madu Lyon flush with pleasure. When Lyon left Howell's office, he went around to the florist whose name he had noted on the box of roses In Lawreuce's room. After selecting a houloiimere and admiring the seasonable display of flowers, he asked cas- ually, ny tne way.

wno sent those roses to Lawrence Arthur Law- I rence. you know?" I like to know myself, said the 1st waking un to sudden interest. "I dou 't have such an order as that I every day. "Why. wh-Jit was there unusual about It?" i "Well, hundred tollar bills are unusual In my business, and isn't often that I get a letter a hundred dollars in It and no name signed to it, with orders to send flowers till the money is used up and more will be coming." "That does sound uncommon.

I'd like to see that letter. If you have it around." "Oh, yes. I kept It na a curiosity. He opened a drawer iu his desk and threw a letter 011 the counter before Lyon. Lyon's first glance at it showed him plainly enough that the brief note was written in the same large, angular handwriting that had marked the note which he had himself received front Mrs.

Woods Broughton. As he picked It up to examine it more closely, an unfortunate accident eeurred. A man who had entered the shop shortly after Lyon and who had possibly overheard their conversation, had come up eloso to Lyon's elbow, and now leaned forward suddenly as though to look at tlm note over his shoulder. flls hasty movement upset a vase of flowers on the counter. The vase was broken, the flowers scattered over the floor, ami the water poured over Lyon's cuff and hand, as well as over the note which he had Just picked up.

The man wa.i profuse in his apologies, and stipplc-plementcd Lyon's handkerchief by lltJ own to remove the traces of the deluge. Somehow, In the momentary confusion, the note itself wns lost'sight of. but Lyon had seen enough to satisfy him that this munificent order for flowers was simply another Indication of Mrs. Broughtou's Interest in Lawrence and his situation. Lawrence had wondered what the roses might mean In the language of flowers.

Lyon could not help wondering whether they spelled "Remorse." (To Be Continued To-morrow.)

Now, do you know, yourself, what Lawrence was doing that night?" "No." "You didn't see him?" "Not until the crowd had gathered. Howell looked disappointed. "I hoped that possibly you might be able to give me the facts that he is withholding." "Isn't It possible that he is withholding nothing that there is nothing to withhold?" "It Is possible, but If that Is the situation. It Is a malicious conspiracy on the part of fate to, trap an Innocent man. It will be difficult to make Jury believe he Is as Ignorant as he wants us to think.

as tar as I can see into the situation, our only hope is that there Is a woman In the a-e and that we can work the Jury for emotional sympathy." He looked keenly at Lyon. "You may think It a wild notion." said Lyon, "but I have an Idea that possibly there is a woman In the case, though Lawrence doesn't know anything about her.

It is expected to he Un- isbed lu September, but even now ii-ioms tin- ciisoerniii.o it, tne intricate network of plauks that are ACTIVITY In the Technological Museum of Sydney. Australia, says the Scientific American, is a the famous Strasburg clock, which has been running for twenty years.

The medieval original is consid ered one of the wonders of the world. Richard B. Smith conceived the idea of making a model of this clock. He began the task on January 26, 1S87, the ninety-fifth anniversary of the discovery of Aub. tralia, hia native country, and completed tt at the end of 1SS9.

The work is all the more remarkable, because Mr. Smith haa never seen the original Strasburg clock and could find no accurate description of the mechanism. The books simply told him what functions the clock performed, and he set about the task of building a clock which would perform all the functions of the original, and others in addition. For that reason, the operative mechanism of Mr. Smith's clock nrohahlv dill- rs from that of the Strasburg clock.

Every part dth ihe exception of ihe carving and paintiugsi. was made by Mr, Smith himself. The Strasburg case is built of marble and stands 60 feet high. The case of the model is constructed of cedar and is 12 feet high. In the first alcove In the central tow.

the procession of the twelve In the alcove beneath are Ihe four ages of man. Next is seen a sphere within a semi-circular niche, which represent the moon, one half black, the other silvered. The sphere shows the phases of the moon as It revolves in twenty-nine and one-half days. Beneath this sphere Mr. Smith has Introduced In his model a tidal dial, which shows the rise and fall of the tides, a feature not to be i found in the original clock at Strasburg.

Around the niche containing the sphere Is the English equivalent of the German Inscription: "What is there equal to the! dawn, beautiful as the moon, radiant 33 the sun?" Beneath this we read: "Deus Lug Mea Quem Timebo." (God is my light, whom shall I fear?) The dates. 1(38-1842, between which the old clock In Strasburg was reconstructed, appear between the Latin and English inscriptions in the center of the main case. Beneath the date Is a grand golden orrery on the Copernican system. In the center of the orrery is a large gilded ball, representing the sun, around which the solar system revolves. The planets are represented by ivory spheres.

The nearest Ivory planet to the sun, Mercury, revolves In 87 days, 22 hours. Next comes Venus, revolving in 225 days, the earth in 365 days, 5 hours, minutes, 48 seconds; Mars In Jupiter in 12 years and satur in years. Those are the six primary planets, all that are shown in the original nas anoen 1 ranus in the model, which planet revolv- 'in" lit- ip .1 n- of revolution of 164 years. Below orrery is the dial, showing mean each side of the dial Is a cherub. of strikes the quar other of whom turns the hour glass.

Beneath the dial are the seven ancient deities, representing the days of tha week, Apollo (Sunday), Diana (Monday). Marti (Tuesday), Mercury (Wednesday). Jupiter (Thursday). Venus (Friday. Saturn (Saturday).

Not a National Song "My Own TJrflted States" is a so-called national song, the words written by Stanislaus Stange and the music by Julian Edwards. It has been claimed for it that it Is superior to anything of the kind in Nif.me Rut the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." the "Star Spangled Barmer" and "America" are likely 10 remain the favorite national songs for some time. It Is only in great crises that great, national hymns are written. There is no crisis at present to inspire the poet.
