DIED WITH
HEAD IK OVEN
WHAT LOOKED LIKE MURDEfi WAS CASE
OF DETERMINED EFFORT TO TAKE
HIS OWN LIFE
New York, Aug. 15? An investiga
tion by Coroner Shrady aud police of
the \V. li'nh street station to Jay show
ed that Arthur M. Tyler, who was
found dea>t in his apartments at No. 300
W 112th street late Saturday, had
killed himself.
Tyler cut his throat not sulticiemlv
to cause death immediately ? in hi*
bedroom, then walked into the diuinK
room and put a su II table cloth atx lit
his neck and walked into the bath
room a'.d from there to ihe kitchen
He took a shelf from the oven of a ga9
range and stuck his head into the oven,
at the same time turning on th-< gas.
Tne ambu'atice -urgeon and the po
lice who were Srst on the case decided
that it would have been impossibe for
Tyler to have committed suicide under
these conditions. They jumped to the
conclusion that the man was murdered.
Coroner Shrady thought so at first, but
after nis physician had made ai exam
ination it was decided that the tuan was
a suicide.

It was the weather In the first place,
thought Edith very drearily as she
watched the rain beat against the win
dow. If she and Rtehanl had not been
caught In a sudden shower to the ut
ter ruin of her very prettiest dress, she
would never have been irritable and
quarreled with hlui about nothing at
all, and she would not have expected
him to take the fault upon himself
wheu she alone? after the weather
was to blame. And now It had mined
lor nearly a week, and the Inaction
was driving her wild. She could only
think, think and vainly try to over
come her pride und send foHhlni.
For the thousandth time she drew
from her dress his last letter and re
read it:
Dearest? We have been friends and
neighbors and sweethearts all o'.ir lives
nn,l should not let anything como between
us. I love >ou. and if you will Just send
one word saying you want me I will com#
at your call and forget the nothing we
quarreled about. Should we let anything
ih> childUh part us? I look for a word
from you. If It doe* not come, I shall
know that you really meant to break our
engagement and shall of course not trou
ble >ou. But you couldn't have meant it.
Edith? Fraternally yours.
RICHARD COPEI.AND.
That was nil. but she had sent blin
D<> word. thlnkiuu that In time he
would come anyhow, anil then she
would let him nnx her out of her
anger. But he had not come, and she
could not fail to respect him for refus
ing to l<e played with.
So she was very wretched nud
blamed her own pride and the weather.
The rain l>eat down wapnly aud Inter
mittently, and all nature expanded and
i throve under Its moist Influence. Edith
looked across the fields to the south to
Richard's home, wliWh one day was
to have l>een also hers, and saw him
out In the rain on his horse, coming
from the town a few miles away. IIow
often they two had ridden about the
country together! And now it was all
over. He would never come back to
her? unless she sent for him. Could
she do It? It was early In the after
noon. aud she might send her little
brother over with a note. She hesi
tated; fhen .-she went to her room and
sat down to her desk." It would be a
relief to write to him, even If she
could not bring herself to send It to
-Wm.
Dour Rlchard-WIll you come to see me
tonight? I was horrlO. and 1 am very
sorry. I? I h:id not bven wet and cross
! should not have thought of carinK bo
ouuse you rode to ti>**n with Fay. Of
course you could not heip her overtaking
you She always wiia forward Forgive
me and come back. You know that I
love you? always. EDITH.
She sat looking at It. Then her heart
misgave her. It had been two loug
months since they parted, and he might
no longer care for her. He mitiht care
for Fay. The neighbors had said he
had been to see her. The letter was
altogether too unguarded. She could
not tell him she loved him. So she
carelessly thrust It Into her dress with
the letter from him.
She tried to busy herselt about the
house, but somehow she could not
work. She was restless aud felt as if
her mother aud sister saw It and would
kuow that she fretted for Richard. She
tried to read In her own room, but It
seemed like a prisou.
Aloug about 8 o'clock she felt as If
j the day had been year3 loug. She
I could bear It no louger. She put on
I some heavy shoes aud au old water
proof riding habit, wound her fair hair
closely under a little eup and stood be
fore the glass thinking what a fright
she looked aud rather rejoicing In the
fact. What was the use of belug beau
tiful when Richard no longer loved
her?
She slipped out to the barn aud sad
; died Ginger, her little mare, mounted
| and rode quickly out of the gate and
, uorthwnrd. ?3 she did not want to pass
! Richard's house. Her mother saw her
i ride off in the storui aud wondered if
' the girl was going crazy, but was too
j late to call after her. At first Ginger
J wheeled and refused to believe that
she was expected to splash her dainty
hoofs through such pools of mud and
water, but after a few suorts of pro
test Edith convinced her with the quirt
that this wind aud rain were really to
be raced, aud the little beast setUed
Into a spiteful trot.
Edith rather rejoiced iu buffetiuB the
storui. The ralu aud wind cooled her
hot cheeks, aud the open air relieved
j the unbearable tension of her nervous
ness. For the first time since the trou
ble with Richard she allowed herself
?Jie unrestrained luxury of tears. Here
out lu the open, with the sting; of rain
diops in her face, she was free from
prvliig eyes. Shi- did uot need to keep
up her pride, aud she could be as
wretched as she really felt. She did
uot ! <ok about her. but rode mile after
mile, letting the mare take her owu
course.
After riding an hour or so she no
ticed that the storm abated and, look
In ? up. saw that the clouds were less
duric. Here aud there was a gleam of
blue, though the warm wind still blew
Intermittent drops into her face. She
drew her collar closely about her ueck
and pulled her cap over her eyes and
rode oir with her own thoughts.
At last au Idea came to her. Why
uot phone to Richard? just call him
up and talk to him in the old way
about nothing in particular and. if he
made it easy for her, ask him to
couie to see her that evening? Strong
Ul this new resolve, she looked to see
where she was aud realized that after
a long detour they were about a mils
Wow Richard's house, which they
must pass. She could nut go hack, Ck j
!t was probably near eveulng. Ifce ?
-uu threatened to break through tho 1
elouils near the horizon. The r:tlu had ;
entirely ceased. She felt tired, but :
happier aud quiet after the relief of |
tears.
Theu she remembered a way through i
Richard's fields that they had often i
taken. She would have to pass a bad j
slough, but that eould uot be helped. | 1
He must not see her lu her present |
plight. She realized that her face was
swollen and her eyes red with weep
ing and that she was covered with
mud. Her hair was flying wildly,
though the dampness always made It
the curlier. She turned into the pas
ture after dismounting to open a heavy
gate, and as she rode along she re
moved her cap and. transferring her
hairpins to her moutli. let the reins fall
on Ginger's neck while she shook out
her long hair and prepared to coil it
more closely. But (Jiliger gave a suil
deu Jerk, and in calling ?'Whoa'." the
pi ns fell from her mouth into the mud
and water. Then she laughed long and
heartily und gave the wind its will
with her hair. No one would see her
anyway.
As she ueared the slough she felt
very warm anil unfastened her habit
at the throat. Ginger was plunging
and snorting through the mud and j
stopped once with a Jerk that almost j
brew the girl from her saddle. The !
?i iiid caught at her dress, and before |
lie realized It the two luckless letters |
were spread out In the mud. It was
no laughing matter, for Richard would
1* sure to find then), and the mud was
?,,, deep she could not [Ktsslbly dis
mount. She drove Ginger as close to
them as possible -and was leaning
over reaching for them so attentively
that she did uot see Richard till he
rode up almost against her.
Her eyes met his, defiantly conscious
of her floating hair and her soiled face
and above all the telltale letters. She
wished her writing was finer she
rould see that hateful "1 love you"
from where she now was! lie lifted
his hat and was getting down to hand
her the letters when she stopped him.
"Richard Copeland. you go right
away. Don't tou^h them. I will get
them myself."
'?You can't. You'd get stuck Ui the
mud. l.et uie."
"If you do. I'll? bate you."
"You do anyway, and. besides. I won't
look at whatever It Is you seem to
value so." He coolly dismounted, but
she sprang down ahead of him and
snatched at them, siuking to her knees
In the slush. Ginger started, aud Rich
ard called "Whoa:" but gave the poor
beast a sly cut with his whip that sent
her on a mad gallop for home. He
held Colonel by the bridle. Edith
faced him.
"Now, Edith." he said, "hate me or
not. You will have to get on Colonel
and be taken home. Come-dear." I
"I'll die here first!" He mounted
and. riding close to her, suddenly caught
her In his arms and drew her strug
gling and angry to the saddle In front
of him.
'?Edith," ??fle said, "I couldn't help
seeing the 'I love you' on the letter
you were so anxious about. Was It
written for me?" Suddenly she felt
that she could bear It no longer. She
turned her face against his shoulder
and cried, while he smoothed back her
long hair and held her very close. Her
pride was quite gone. She was iu tears
aud a fright generally. She felt that
It was positively a miracle that he
could still love her. He kissed the
only available ;!sce. which happened
to be her left ear. Then he asked hur
again about the letter.
"I meant It for you," she owned, "but
I couldn't send It, and I was misera
ble."
He laughed softly and bade her look
up. and Colonel somehow understood
that he was expected to go very, very
slow.
