A BOARD WA LK TRAGEDY. BY AMY POINDEXTER. N the night of Maroh 16, 1869, @ tall and rather thick-set man might have been seen making his way with careful’ steps along a narrow board walk which bridged a ravine three or four feet beneath. The night was dark, and possibly the traveller was somewhat uncertain of his footing, for he swung a lghted iantern in front of him and glanced restlessly from side to side, He appeared nervous and tried to whistle a tune, but his Ips refused, and his face looked almost ghastly in the flickering light. Midway on the bridge he paused a moment, as if Ustening, then turned and partly faced in the direc- tion from which he had come. “Not halfway over this walk,” he muttered, and cont’ued his journey. Suddenly there came a sound that made his blood rua cold, and again he paused. But this time ho was struck by a heavy blow and fell. ‘The lantern crashed upon the boards and the ight went out, A stealthy noise was heard near the fallen figure, and then all was still, Barly the next morning ea party of workmen, with thelr dinner pails swinging on their arms, walked over the same bridge. They were whistling merrily or cracking jokes that prodyced laughter. “Well, Il declare!” said one of them, stopping short in a listen- ing attitude. “I believe I heard something.” “Course you did, Bobby," said another. “You heard me; I was tellin’ you the rattelenest good story about"— But Bobby was paying no attention. He had Jumped {rom the bridge and was crawling underneath. His friend stood stil] 2 moment and then heard his name called in a yolce of the utmos' ror. “Good heavens, Sam!" {t sald; “come down here quick; there's @ dead man here.” ‘The others heard {t, too, and with one accord sprang from the watk, Underneath they saw a man stretched out apparently asleep, with no blood stains or slgn of wound about him. Bobby was bending over him in a sort of daze. “Boys,” he sald huskily, “boys, it’s the boss.’ “Whet, not Mr. Barlow “Yes, that's who it ts, Come help me get him up; perhaps he isn’t quite dead.” Go they lifted the man up and laid him tenderly on the grass. His clothing was in perfect condition, with the exception of the mud that encrusted a part of it, and only a small red and black spot on the left temple doctor and Coroner came in good time, but Sam, who had been sent for the manager, said that Mr. Ashland had left the night before for a week's Ashing, and that he might make a few business trips for the firm. ‘There was quite a stir In the newspapers about his death, but there seemed to be no clue to the mur- derer. Mrs. Barlow, however, found a young man of her acquaintance and promised him a large reward if he would find the man who had killed her husband. About a month or #0 after Mr. Barlow's death Mr. Ashland, who was now the manager, made a strange discovery, which he imparted to the heads of the firm, In looking over ‘the business accounts he found that about $15,000 In government bonds was missing. These bonds he was sure had been put in the back vault the evening of the murder, The lock of the vault had in no way been tampered with, and other contents were in verfect order. Pulsifer and Wilson, the heads of the firm, were greatly disturbed by this news, because Mr. Barlow was the only person besides themselves who had any knowledge of the bonds, and they had been sent to him personally. “I can't begin to see what this means, Billy,” sald Mr. Pulsifer to his junior partner, Wilson, as he walked the floor after Ashland's telegram. “It evi- dently has something to do with Barlow's murder, but just what I do not know.” A day or two after that Mr. Ashland was surprised to receive a visit from Mr, Wilson. “Is It in connection with that bond affair?” he asked, giving his guest the desk chair. “Yes,"" sald Billy. ‘The fact of the matter ts, Ash- land, “we don't think the bonds were sent to Barlow at all. There must have been some mistake about tt." “You don't say 80," eald he, “All I know about it 1s that there was entered in Barlow's private books $15,000 Government bonds. I stanted for Murryville about the bonds, for I think we shall find that out and so don't know a thing about them." “Well, Mr. Pulsifer and I have talked it over and decided that Mr, Barlow's death had nothing to do with thelr disappearance. You needn't say anything about the bonds, for I think we shall find thet our New York bankers still have them. As long aa I am here I may as well stay a day or #o and look over tho mill machinery, & “Certainly, certainly,” sald Mr. Ashland. “Tt would rather, elow, as ‘Ashiand was tame and walked With a cane. Everywhere the machinery was buzzing mer- ily. The men in overalls and jumpers were quite as busy, though not as merry, Ashland was not a man to make many friends, and while Billy smiled and spoke to every man he nodded now and then in dignified | silence. Billy in turn received smiles and pleasant || still lived unpunished he naid: “Well, Astand, I guess we have gone fart enougn to-day, but to-morrow I will come early and wo can finish, In the mean itime if you want me 1 will be at the only hotel in town: To reach the hotel Billy crossed the walk under whioh Barlow was found, He shivered to think such a horrible deed had been committe the eriminal A white obje: a against and * pre “QUITE A REMARKABLE CANE!" SAID BILLY. greetings, while Ashlané was coldly recognized. Billy noticed this and was not pleased, for whern the manager is not loved as well as respected thero is apt to be trouble. One man in particular attracted one of the supporting posts caught his sprang off the walk to pick ft up. It proved to be a handkerchief of fine lnen, dirty and mud-stained, with the Inbtfals Y. A. in one corner, “I wonder whose my friend Pulsifer will have me changed from juntor partner to chief detective for the firm.’ And sucking the handkerchlef futo hie pocket he walked on. ‘That evening he decided to remain indoors, and lying on a lounge, Ivxuriously amoking and planning his detective campaign, he was somewhat disturbal when he heard a knock at the door, “Come in," hs sali tostily, and much ¢o his surprise the man he had no toed at the mill atood before him. “You are Mr. Wilson?" asked the man in a hesitating mann “Yes, certainly,” sald Billy, Jumping up. ‘What can I do for you?’ “My name ts Silas,” sald the man; “Silas Jinks, and I came to talk to you about Mr. Barlow's murder. Do you know who aid {2 “L have my suspicions.” Well, T have more, and if you will give me time I will teli you.” "Time?" sald Billy. “My good friend, you have all night, but take a sea Tt was nearly morning when they finiehed talking, nd Instead of going to bed Billy put on his hat and nt out with Jinks Their destination was the polico headquarters, and there they had a long talk with tho chief of police, who to all appearances agreed with them in every particular, Then Billy went back to his room and slopt until brond daylight. Immediately after breakfast he went to the mill and found Mr. Astlana there before hkm Ie had evi- dently arrived, for hie bat and canoe lay on his desk, filly noticed the eane In a minute, for It wa stich a queer-haped thing—iike the crooked man's body In the nursery rhyme, with @ silver ball for a handle. “Quite a remarkable cane,” sald Billy, lft- Ing tt from the dee. “Oh—and loaded.” he added, “Yes, sald Ashland, “a very pretty cane, a weapon as well as a friend—t Ja, 1f you need one.” Jast then the dour opened and two men appeared. " said the first one, “we are here to ar- 14n named Ashland, on the charge of murder- »o Wiliam Barlow on the 16th of March of this nt sald Mr Ashland, "there has been On the 16th of March at 5 o'clock in the evening I started for Murryviile, It cannot be me you mean, “Oh, but It Ja," sald the man, and he was promptly handeuffed. He reached for hie cane, but Billy sald: “If you excuse me, Mr. Ashland, I'll keep this; it may come tn handy.” Ashland turned on bim with angry ¢ “It's you who ia doing this, 1s 1t? I hope it may do you good, for you can prove—not one thing.’ Gtill gesticulating, or trying to, he was taken to the police staticn. As soon as possible Billy tele- graphed Pulsifer: “J think the man is caught.” ‘The trial of Ashland was set for the next month, and during all t he time that intervened be still myintained that he knew nothing about the murder, having been out of town at the time. This did not dampen Billy's conviction that he was on the right track. “Gentlemen,” on oand and found two footprints with a round them, from which he Inferred that ihe im tled a sane. The prosecuting attorney, In stating claimed that Ashland did not leave town Py 6 on March 16. On the contrary tia ticket, 445, was vacd at 11.20 from the next village, ¢ away. Ho had sent word home that he was going — fuliing and left the office at 4 o'clock with his grip. The men who stopped work at 6 all knew he was — gone, and no one but Mr, Barlow remained in the oMce, Yet at 8.15 the night watchman had seen him open the door of the office and go in. Mr. Barlow was still there and uttered an exclamation of dismay, loud enough for the watchman to hear. Silas Jini at that moment came through the hall, and Murphy, the watorman, motioned to ‘him act to make so muéh nolye and to come nearer. ‘The aound of angry yoloes cane from the Interior of the office, and stepping still nearer they heard Mr, Ashland saying: “Why couldn't you tell me this?

He stamped down the hall nt a great rate, knocking the floor with |” hin cane at ¢ step, but to the men's surprise he - did not go out the door. Instead, he went hack nelaee lessly and peered through the keyhole. After that Re went to the other end of the hall, where there waa’ window, and the men saw him no more that is About 10 o'clock Mr. Barlow came out, and locleing the office door walked down the hall. He carried @ lighted lantern, as was his custom on dark nights, and bade Murphy a pleasant good-night. The next morne © ing the men heard of his death. * oy The prosecuting attorney claimed that Ashland hay Jumped from the halt window when Barlow left the. place and had followed him to the plank walk, where | he felled him with a blow of his loaded cane and then dragged him under the walk. ‘And I claim," he con< tinued, “that the murder was done for the purpose of” robbery; that Yolo Ashland took $15,000 in numbered = kovernment bonds that had been sold to the firm of Pulsifer & Wilson from the body of William Barlow, © who carried them for safe keeping, fearing an ettack)! by Ashiand on the safe. I also claim that Yollo Ash-(! land has sald bonds still, if not intact, at least nearly © so. They are in a secret drawer, of which he has the key, In @ desk on the second floor of his house im Beatle street.” A messenger was promptly sent for the desk and — Ashland's keys were demanded to unlock it, The attorney then unlocked the drawer, and there lay the bonds in a large, rubber-banded package, crusted with mud. The numbers on them corresponded to those bought by Puleifer & Wilson. 5 After that {t was hardly necessary to produce the other evidence. The counsel for the defense had very little to say and the jury was out about fifteen utes, when ft returned the verdict of murder in the — first degree. Cnpital punishment was not in force in that State, 6@ the penalty was imprisonment for life. When Ashland heard the verdict he sat with My) showed that he had been hurt. Bobby despatched the other three for a. doctor, the Coroner and the assistant manager of the mill. be a thousand pities for you to go without doing so."” So Mr. Ashland left his work and accompanied Mr. Wilson in a tour of the mill.
