And no matter where or bow deep he would sink in life’s turbulent waters, he In­ variably came to the top sgaln smiling. Always philosophically contented, ho never lost his temper or became unduly excited, and, after », varied experience covering a range of occupations, from speculator to hook-canvasser, he floated into Crandall & Co.’s office, and from there, as we have seen, to his present position. And this last move was to Change .the whole course of his life. When Joel Wilcox went to bed that: night he felt certain that Anton Bey-, man’s release was near at hand. Hewas now entirely confident that Velasquez hatl murdered Delaro, but he was not the man to act rashly or with unduo haste." - So he concluded to sloop on bis recent discoveries, and make disclosures later. Next morning ho and Percy Lovel started over to see Mrs. Delaro. She met them at the. door and said: “Oht Mr. Wilcox, I’mSOglad you have come Something of great importance has transpired.” They walked Into,the houso and Into the library, whore Mr. Wilcox was as­ tonished to see one of tho workmen from the cellars seated. The door was closed, but, at Mr. Wilcox’s request, Level was allowed to remain in, the room.. ■ ■. .;j ’This man,’’ said the unhappy widow, • ' ‘lias brought something here which will probably prpve beyond a,doubt who it Wos that: aklllcd’ my 'jlear husband. YesjCrday; one of thls, man’s boys was bathing in tbc stream which flows at tho; foot o f the kill ypnder,’* said tho lady. pojintlng from the. window as sbo Spoke, "and, in diving, to pick objects from the mud in tho bottom of the river, found this weapon." Hefo Mrs. Delaro produced an ivory bandied stiletto upon the' handle of which was carved the Initials "L. V.” ’ •Great guns,” . oxclsimed Wilcox, “ woshall prove that snsko guilty soon­ er than I expeoted." Then a long conversation ensued and tho workman was asked, to repeat bis story to Wilcox, and so much ongrossed did everybody become in the recitation that in tho excitement of tho hour it was forgotten that Lotel had not been Introduced; But Mr. Wilcox soon made amends for bis forgetfulness and fold Mrs. Delaro of tho value ot his newly-formt- acquaintance. There was much to be said a&>ut the now clow and Velasques’s former his­ tory, and Percy warmedhp and beoamo almost enthusiastic over his prospective work. They discussed how every thing should be arranged. On the morrow thoy proposed to go to tho lawyer at Santa Boss, and inform him of the now developments.. They supposed naturally that Vei.ui- quea had littlo idea of his crime being % MM< DKLASO MKT' ttttMA§ tMK OOimi dlsoovered ao soon, If aver, snd that heme probably on his wayEast So tkdydid dpiraise s hue aadcry atone* bat decidedthat It would be far wiser, andmore pradent, tobe sure theywere rightbeforegoingahead.

The trial was set for tendays later, tad at that tins nearly ovety adultin­ habitant of SanPoolswasatSantaBoss.

What he said furnished enexpeoted palsin thedrama, andcreated not only surprisebut ln'tense’ ihdignatlon Among the popple. Then the boy. who had found the sti­ letto was called and ■ ciamihed. The weapdh was produced and the servants of the Bolero household were called to testify that they had seen the weapon several .times lying on the bureau in Mr, Velasquez’s room. Other witnesses followed, who spoke In glowing terma Of Anton’s character, and' then tbo judge commenced to Charge the jury. He told them that the guilt .could not bo justly- transferred from the shoulders of the prisoner to these of Volasque# on the evldeqcogiven and made prolonged reference to An­ ton’s angry talk .with Delaro and tho fact that he folldwod the mnrdered man out of the collars. The judge was just suggesting the reasonableness and probability of Boy- man having committed the foul deed, when Percy Lovel, who had been care-, fully scrutinizing the stiletto, inter­ rupted. The young fellow had noticed’ that the point of the weapon was br<men. Only an extremely small fragment of the point was missing, but it was large enough to be noticed. He handed the dagger to the lawyer for thedefense and drew his attention to the fact. ' Tne lawyer understood its purport m a mo­ ment In a rather rude and hasty manner, but such as the occasion demanded, he called upon the judgo to desist in his summing up, and asked that further evidence bo taken. The judge, who-was strictly impar­ tial, remarked that in such a case it was hardly possible that so blunt a point could havo penetrated the dead man’s body as deeply as Delaro’s wound, but that this was, a matter worthy the ut­ most consideration of tho jury. "Yes, indeed it isv your-.honor,” said the lawyer for the defense; "but per­ mit me to suggest that measures be at once taken to find the point of this .weapon heiore this man Reyman is un-. justly convicted. Tho most likoly place to find it would he in Belaro’s body, and if His. then there will not be much doubt as to tho identity of the actual murderer.’' . "It seems hardly credible thatit could have broken off Inside of tho body,” suggested the judge; "wo can consult somo professional advice on tho mat- ter.’’ . . “ Then tho best man to get that ad­ vice from is .fool Wilcox,” was tho law­ yer’s reply, • "Let Joel Wilcox be called to the stand,*’ said tho judge> to tho usher. Upon being sworn Wilcox gavo his opinion, as an old blacksmith and as tv man who bad worked all kinds of both iron and steel, 'hot or cold. Said ho: “ If tho point of tho stiletto had' not boon proporly tempered, it is highly probablo that in striking against abqno in a man’s hotly It would break off,” "Then the body shall bn exhumed and the pleooof etool sought for,” said tho judgo, Whereupon the court ad­ journed until tho following day. That asms afternoon the body of Delaro was exh,umed and auro enough, the piece of steel was found sticking to tho bottom of tho leftshoulder blade. Tho doctor produced tho fragment next day In court, and it was found to lit exactly to the stiletto. Then.the judgo completed his charge, hut on vastly different lines, the conse­ quence being tbat Anton wasdischarged without tho jury onco having to leave theiraeata, Tbo crowd cheered him as he went out and one of tho first men who met him was Joel Wilcox. "Anton,” he said, ‘“ it was I that bought the Posada vineyards, and I hope, my boy, you will go back to your old plaoe and manage It for me.” It was a light-hearted and yet a aad party that went back to San Paola that night, for few of them had yet forgot­ ten the memory of their lost friend. And Wiloox, kind old fellow that he was, went that night to try and consolo the desolate widow, and informed her that be had arranged to render alt pos­ sible assistance .to the detectives in capturing the murderer. At the conclusion o f the interview, at which Ferny Lovol was present, they all decided to leave San Paola at onoe— Mrs. Delaro to go to her friends and Wilcox aad his young aide t f follow in the wake of the fitlty mae.
