A Bit of Steel. "When are you going to Judge Os- trander's ?" "Tomorrow. This is my last free day. So if there is anything for me to do, do tell me, Mr. Black, and let me get to work at once." ; "There is nothing you can do. The fmatter id hopeless. I told you so the lother night, and now, after a couple 'of days of thought on the subject. I jam obliged to repeat my assertion. Your own convictions in the matter, •and your story of the shadow and the ipeaked cap may appeal to the public 'and assure you some sympathy, but •tor an entire reversal of its opinion you will need substantial arid incon­ trovertible evidence. Find me some­ thing definite to go upon and we will talk." Doubtfully she eyed him. "What you want," she observed at length, with '& sigh, "is the name of the man who sauntered down the ravine ahead of my husband. I cannot giVe it to you now, but I do not despair of learning it. I have got to renew old acquain­ tances; revive old gossip; possibly, re­ call to life almost obliterated mem­ ories." Mr. Black, dropping his handf from his vest, gave her his first look of un­ qualified admiration. "You ring true," said he. "I have met men qualified to lead a forlorn hope; but never before a woman. Al­ low me to express my regret that It is such a forlorn one." Mrs. Scoville rose. Then ahe tat down again, with the remark: "I have a strange notion. It's a hard thing to explain and you may not un­ derstand me, but I should like to see, if it still exists, the stick--my hus­ band's stick--with which this crime was committed. Do the police retain such things? Is there any possibility of my finding it laid away in some drawer at headquarters or on some dusty shelf?" Mr. Black was again astonished. Was this callousness or a very deep and determined purpose. "You shall see the stick If it Is still to be found. I will take you to police headquarters if you will go heavily •veiled. We don't want any recogni­ tion of you there yet." "Mr. Black, you are very good. How •oon--" "Now," he announced, jumping up to get his hat There was one little fact of which Mr. Black was ignorant--that the po­ lice had had their eye on the veiled lady at Claymore inn for several days now and knew who his companion was the instant they stepped into head­ quarters. In vain his plausible ex­ cuses for showing his lady frigid the curiosities of the place; her Interest in the details of criminology was well understood by Sergeant Doolitrle. Therefore, when he saw the small, mocking eye of the lawyer begin to roam over the shelves, and beheld his Jaw drop as it sometimes did when he •ought to veil his purpose in an air of mild preoccupation, he knew what the next request would be, as well as if the low sounds which left Mr. Black's lips at Intervals had been words In­ stead of inarticulate grunts. He was, therefore, prepared when tho question did come. "Any memorial of the Etheridgo case?" "Nothing but a stick with blood- marks on it That, I'm afraid, wouldn't l>e a very agreeable sight for a lady's •ye." "She's i>roof," the lawyer whispered in the officer's ear. "Let's see the- stick." The sergeant considered this a very interesting experience--quite a jolly break in the dull monotony of the day. Hunting up the stick, he laid it in the lawyer's hands, and then turned his eye upon the, lady. She had gone pale, but It took her but an Instant to regain her equanimi­ ty and hold out her own hand for the weapon. And so the three stood there, the men's faces ironic, inquisitive, won­ dering at the woman's phlegm If not at her motive; hers, hidden behind her veil, but bent forward over the weapon in an attitude of devouring Interest Thus for a long, slow minute; then she Impulsively raised her head and. beckoning the two men nearer, she directed attention to a splintered por­ tion of the handle and asked them what they saw there. "Nothing; just stick," declared the sergeant "The marks you are look­ ing for are higher up.'* "And you, Mr. Black?" He saw nothing either but stick. But he was little less abrupt In his answer. "Do you mean those roughnesses?" he asked. "That's where the stick was whittled. You remember that he had been whittling at the stick--** "Who?" The word shot from her lips so vi­ olently that for a moment both men looked staggered by it. Then Mr. Black, with unaccustomed forbear­ ance, answered gently enough: "Why, Scoville, madam; or so the prosecution congratulated Itself upon having proved to the jury's satisfac­ tion. It did not tally with Scoville's story or with common sense I know. You rememher--pardon me--I mean that any one who read a report of the case, will remember how I handled the matter in my speech. But the prej- 48 8he Had Gone Pale. udlce in favor of the pronccut'on--1 will not say against the defense-- was too much for me, and common eense, the defendant's declarations, and my eloquence all went for nothing." "Of course they produced tho knife?" "Was it a new knife, a whole one, I mean, with all its blades sharp and in good order?" "Yes. I can say that I handled it several timed." "Then, wlu,fto bluJc left And again she pointed to the same place on the stick where her finger had fall­ en before. "I don't know what you mean." The sergeant looked puzzled. Perhaps, his eyesight was not very keen. "Have you a magnifying glass? There is something embedded in this wood. Try and find out what it Is." The sergeant with a queer look at Mr. Black, who returned it - ith inter­ est, went fir a glass, and when he had used it, the stare be gave the heavily veiled woman drove Mr. Black to reach out his own hand for the glass. "Well," he burst forth, after a pro­ longed scrutiny, "there is something there." even of the most critical, without such aid as Is given by this glass.' "No one thought of using a magni­ fying glass on this," blurted out the sergeant "The marks made by the knife were plain enough for all to see, and that was all which seemed tm-. portant" ^ * Mr. Black said nothing; he was feel­ ing a trifl-d cheap--something which did not agree with his crusty nature. Not having seen Mrs. Scoville for a half-hour without her veil, her" infia- ence over him was on the wane, and he began to regret that he had laid himself open to tfils humiliation. She saw that it would be left for her to wind up the interview and get out of tbs place without^ arousing rtoo much much attention. With a self- possession which astonished both men, knowing her immense interest in this matter, she laid down the stick, and, with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, remarked In an easy tone: "Well, it'B curious! The Ins and outs of a'crime, I mean. Such a dis­ covery ten years after the event (I think you said ten years) is very In­ teresting." Then she sighed: "Alas! It's too late to benefit the one whose life it might have saved. Mr. Black, shall we be going? I have spent a most entertaining quarter of an hour." Mr. Black glanced from her to the sergeant before he joined her. Then, with one of his sour smiles directed to­ wards the former, he said: ~X"I wouldn't be talking about this, sergeant It will do no good, and may subject us to ridicule." The sergeant, none too well pleased, nodded slightly. Seeing which, she spoke up: "I don't know about that, I should think It but proper reparation to the dead to let it be known that his own story of innocence has received this iate confirmation."' But the lawyer continued to shake his head, with a very sharp look at the sergeant. If he could have his way he would have this matter stop just where it was. "This is my daughter. Judge Os­ trander; Reuther, this is the Judge." The introduction took place at the outer gates whither the judge had gone to receive them. Reuther threw aside her veil and looked up into the face bent courte­ ously towards her. It had no Jook of Oliver. They were fine eyes notwith­ standing, piercing by nature, but just now misty with a feeling that took away all her fear. He was going to like her; she saw it in every trembling line of his countenance, and at the thought a smile rose to her lips. With a courteous gesture he invited them in, but stopping to lock one gate before leading them through the oth­ er, Mrs. Scoville had time to observe that since her last visit with its ac­ companying Inroad of the populace, the two openings which at this point gave access to the walk between the fences had been closed up with boards so rude and dingy that they must have come from some old lumber pile in at­ tic or cellar. The judge detected her looking at them. "I have cut off my nightly prom­ enade," said he. "With youth in the house, more cheerful habits must pre­ vail. Tomorrow I shall have my lawn cut, and if I must walk after sundown I will walk there." The two wemen exchanged glances. Perhaps their gloomy anticipations were not going to be realized. But once within the house, the judge showed embarrassment. "I have few comforts to. offer," said he, opening a door at his right and then hastily closing it again. "This part of the house is, as you see, com­ pletely dismantled and not--very clean. But you shall have carte blanche to arrange to your liking one j of these rooms for your sitting room and parlor. There is furniture in the attic and you may buy freely what­ ever else is necessary. I don't want to discourage little Reuther. As for your bedrooms--" He stopped, hemmed a little and flushed a vivid red as he pointed up the dingy flight of uncarpeted stairs towards which he led them. "They are above; but it is with shame I admit that I have not gone above this floor for many years. Consequently, I den't know how it looks up there or whether you can even find towels and things. Have I ;c"r.tc5 toe much on ycTir good ma­ ture?" "No; not at all. )n fact, you simply arouse all the housekeeping Instincts within me." The Judge drew a breath of relief and led Reuther towards a door at the end of the hall. "This is the way to the dining room and kitchen," he explained. "I have been accustomcd to having my meals ser\*ed In my own room, but after this I shall join you at table. Here," he continued, leading her up to the iron door, "Is the entrance to my den. You may knock here if you want me, but there i8 f. curtain beyond, which no one lifts but myself. You understand, my dear, and will excuse *an old man's almost fatherly, manner with which he surveyed her. "1 quite understand," she said; "and so will mother." "Reuther," he how observed with a strange intermixture of gentleness and authority, "there is one thing I wish to say to you at the very start I may grow to love you--God knows that a little affection would be a welcome change In my life--but I want you to know and know now, that all the love in the world will not change my deci­ sion as to the impropriety cf. a match between you and my son Oliver. That settled, there is no reason wh/ all should not be clear between us." "All Is clear." Faint and far off the words sounded, though she was standing so near he could have laid his hand on her shoul­ der. Then she gave one sob as though in saying thk she heard the last clod fall upon what would never see resur­ rection again In this life, and, lifting W.

A week, and Deborah Scoville had evolved a home out of chaos. That is, within limits. She had not entered the judge's rooms, nor even offered to do so. Later, there must be a change. So particular a man as the judge would soon find himself too uncom­ fortable to endure the lack of those attentions which he had been used to in Bela's day. He had not even asked for clean sheets, and sometimes she had found herself wondering, with a strange shrinking of her heart, if his bed was ever made, or whether he had not been driven at times to lie down in his clothes. She had some reason for these dolibtful conclusions. In her ram' blings through the house she had come upon Bela's room. It was in a loft over the kitchen and she had been much amazed at jits condition. In some respects it looked as decent as she could expect, but in the matter of bed and bed clothes it presented an aspect somewhat startling. The clothes were there, tossed in a heap on the floor, but there was no bed in sight nor anything which could have served as such. It had been dragged out. Evidences of this were everywhere on the nar­ row, twisted staircase. A smile, half pitiful, half self-scornful, curved Iter lips as she remembered the rat-tat-tat she had hoard on that dismal night when she clung listening to the fence, and wondered now if it had not been the bumping of this cot eliding from step to step. But no! the repeated stroka of a hammer is unmistakable. He bad played the carpenter that night as well as the mover, and with no visible results. ^Mystery still reigned in the house for all the charm and order she had brought into it; a mystery which deeply interested her, and which she yet hoped to solve, notwithstanding its remoteness from the real problem of her existence. , NO WAR TAX ON CANADIAN LANDS Untruthful Reports Circulated by Interested Parties. Defaming a neighbor at the expense of the truth does not help those who are guilty of the practice, and it may be said that those spreading false re­ ports about Canadian lands, in the hope that they may secure customers for their own, will certainly fail of their purpose. False statements so maliciously circulated will sooner or Will Do for later be disproved. And, as in the case of the lands of Western Canada, the fertility of which is now so well known to people of every state In the United States, the folly of this work shows an exceeding short sighted- ness on the part of those guilty of the practice. The present war has given some of these people the opportunity to exer­ cise their art, but in doing it they are only arousing the curiosity of those who read the statements and a trifling investigation will only reveal their un­ truthfulness. A very foolish statement has re­ cently appeared in a number of pa­ pers, reading in part as follows: -- "It is believed that as a result of the war tax on land imposed by the Cana­ dian Government a number of former Dakota farmers who went to the Brit­ ish Northwest will be compelled to re­ turn to the United States.

HARD TO INTERRUPT SERVICE Common Mistake That Wireless Com­ munication Can Be Easily In­ terfered With. Many suppose that it is possible for an enemy to disrupt and suspend all Wireless communication at will by pro­ ducing very powerful waves of irreg­ ular length; in other words, by inter­ ference or "Jamming." According to Commander F. G. Loring of the Brit- tfsh n^vy, such tactics are seldom suc-J oessfuL It is very bard, if not im­ possible, to "jam" a well-organized •wireless service, for there are many Ways, both technical and methodical, .to defeat such an Intention. If the •hemy attempts interference, he must ijwt his own wireless communication Completely out of action for the ttme being, with no certain prospect of se> ( tlously inconveniencing the communis cation of his opponent Commander Loring also believes that the risk of having the signals of the flett inter­ cepted by an enemy Is very slight. "Co-operation between operators, with fill knowledge of each other's math* ods, is extremely important when han­ dling difficult code messages, and the more skilled the organization, the more difficult it Is for a strange op­ erator to take down with the neces­ sary accuracy the groups of a code message. He cannot .ask for the repetition of doubtful groups, and he has no intimate and daily familiarity with the methods of the sender to as­ sist him in his task. And, after all, giving the enemy every advantage, giving him a perfect record of the sig­ nals, the !;ey of the code to his hand, and equal facility of skill and lan­ guage to translate it for use--a most Important combination, it must be ad­ mitted--he has still failed to prevent the all-important information from reaching its destination." -- Tooth's Companion.

Little use io being made of the floss from the inside of the pods of the silk cotton tree in the West Indies. In the Philippines the collection of this product--known throughout the East as "Kapok"--forms an industry of considerable promise. It is being more and more used In the manufac­ ture of patent life-belts, and agricul­ turists in the British West Indies might with profit turn their attention to the collection of this AOBS. The pro­ duction for 1913 was 245,009 pounds, as against 69,606 in 1910-11. The de­ cline in 1911-12 is attributed by the Mindanao Herald to increased local consumption. Most of the kapok for­ merly went to the Netherlands, either direct or via Hongkong; but In 1912- 13 it was exported chiefly to the Unit­ ed States, Germany and Australasia, in the order named.

St Kentigern, In the seventh century, took up his abode -on the site of the present city of Glasgow. Upon an oak in the clear­ ing he hung a bell to summon the sav­ ages to worship, hence the cak and bell. A queen, having formed an at­ tachment to a soldier, gave him a precious ring, which the king bad given her. The king, aware of the fact, stole upon the soldier in sleep, abstracted the ring, threw it into the Clyde, and then asked the queen for it- The queen, in alarm, applied to St. Kentigern, who went to the Clyde, caught a salmon with the ring in Its mouth, handed it to the queen, and was thus the means of restoring peace to the royal couple. two Dakotas would practically amount to confiscation." To show that the public has doubt­ ed, hundreds of inquiries have been made the Government at Ottawa, Canada, only to bring out the most em­ phatic denial. A full-fledged He of this kind has, of course, only a short life, and will tell in the end against those who forge It and spread it, but, as a Winnipeg paper points out, it is most complimentary to the agricultural pos­ sibilities of Western Canada to find that rival farming propositions need audacious mendacity of this descrip­ tion to help them. What is the truth? The Saskatche­ wan Government has authorised a levy of $10 per quarter section on unculti­ vated lands owned by non-residents. The Alberta Government has Imposed a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as­ sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
