Come, come, sir? that hesitation shows that you are trying to hide something; I want truth, the whole truth, nnd nothing hut the truth.

If those wretches would send you a dynamite bomb once, they might do it more successfully ngain; it was by mere chance that tlie thing was out of order and did not blow us all up, replied Daisy, with a shudder. Not one of the servants has courage enough to do it for me; Mr. Winchell has u family, and since our rerent experience has no taste for tho task; so I have employed this young Palmer, whose speeiul business it will he to open my parcels. Oh, papa; whv should he take the risk of his life? lie is so-- so young, maybe he has a mother? No, nor sister, nor any near relative. He is highly educated and well horn, but being unfortunate in business, ami therefore jilted by a heartless girl, he resolved to put an end to an unhappy life. He procured a quantity of laudanum, but decided that that was uncertain, nnd so shot himself in the head. Either his hand swerved or his aitn was uncertain, for the wound proved to be only serious, not fatal. He was taken to a hospital, nnd ns the letter he had written for post mortem purposes proved that the shooting was intentional, he was in danger of arrest nnd trial for attempted r. Learning of the affair, I was struck with an idea nnd so used my influence in his behalf, und there was no arrest. He placed no value on his life, and so rendily accepted the position I offered him.
