For awhole day 'my companion had rambled about the room with his chin upon his chest and his brows knitted, charging and re- charging his pipe with the strongest black tobacco, and. absolutely deaf to any of my questions or remarks. Fresh editions. of every paper had been sent up by our newsâ€" agent, only to be glanced over and tossed down into a. corner. Yet, silent as he was, Iknew perfectly well what it was over which he was brooding. There was but one problem before the public which could challenge his powers of analysis, and that was the singular disappearance of the favorite for the Wessex cup, and the tragic murder ‘of its trainer. When, therefore, he suddenly announcâ€" ed his intention for setting out for the scene of the drama it was only what I had both expected and hoped for.

John Struk- er, who is a married man, lived in a small villa about two hundred yards from the stables. He has no children, keeps one maid-servant, and is com- fortably off. The country round is very lonely. but about half a mile to the north there is a small cluster of villas which-have been built by a Tavistock contractor for the use of in- valids and others who wish to enjoy the pure Dartmoor air. Tavistock it- self lies two miles to the west, while ‘ across the moor. also about two miles distant. is the larger training estabâ€" lishment. of anleton, which belongs to Lord Backwater, and is managed by Silas Brown. In every other dir- ection the moor is a. complete wilder- ness. inhabited only by a few roaming gypsies.

Up to the time of the catastrophe he was first favorite for tho \Vessex cup, the betting being three to one on him.

His bridle is missing, so that Simpson must have put this on. Then, having left the door open behind him, he was. leading the horse away over the moor, when he was. either i met. or overtaken by the trainer. A row naturally ensued. Simpaon boat out the trainer's brains with his heavy stick wit hout receiving any injury from the small knife which Straker used in self-defence, and then the thief eithar led the horse on to some secret hiding- place. or else it may have bolted during the struggle, and be now wandering out on the moors. That is the case as it appears to the police, and improb- ableias it is, all other explanations are more improbable still. However.

His head had been shattered by a savage blow from some heavy weapon, and he was wounded on the thigh, where there was at long clean cut, inflicted evidently sy some very sharp instrument. It was clear, however, that Straker hud de- fended himself vigorously against his unwilunts, for in his right hand he held a sun” knife, which was clotted with blood up to the handle, while in his left he clasped a red and black silk cmvut. which was recognized by the maid as having been worn on the pre- ceding eVening by the stranger who had visited the stable.

Ill â€"A pretty good test of the civiliza- tion of the country is to be found In its railroad mileage. Among the im- portant countries of the world. the one which stand; lowest in respect to rail- road mileage is Persia. Persia has just 34 miles of railroadâ€"the distance from Brooklyn to Fire Island, no more â€"and it is made up of the line from Teheran to Shaabdulazinn (a good name for a brakesman'a announcement) ; an- other line 20 miles long was begun. but abandoned later.

China and Japan have very generally ‘ been regarded as similar countries; but while China is described by Lord Salisbury as a dying country. Japan is upâ€"toâ€"date. The area. of Japan is approximately 150,000 square miles; I the area of China is 1,300,000 square miles. or more than eight times great- er. The population of Japan is 42.- 000.000. whereas the population of China is 400,000,000. or ten times great- er, and yet the railroad mile e in China is only 124, while that of apan was 2,237 by last accounts. The long- est of the railroads in China is 73 miles, from Tientsin to I‘ekin. The Japanese railroads carried last year 70,000,000 passengers.
