JU By CHARLES B. LEWIS M QUAD). [Copyright. 1WM, by Charles R. is.] Oih> Hioniitif; in September, in the yoar of onr Lord 1H—, Samuel Harding, farmer, who lived about three miles east of the town of Delaware, started for the harayard with a milk pail in his band. He had slept well, the day bid fair to he line, and he was at peace with all mankind. Almost as sudden as a clap of thunder his feelings underwent a change. Between the house and the barn was a bed of artichokes. He had sent away to a seedsman and ordered Rns-

C p ,

WHAT FAHMI.Ft HAItDINO HF.ARP. sian artichokes, which wt re warranted lo yield 60 per cent more than the American tuber, and it was also claimed for them that they were good for indigestion when eaten in a raw state. There were ju t eight hills of those artichokes, and within a f< w days it would be time to dig them and learn if the promises of the seedsman had been fuliillod. What Farmer Harding heard as he walked down the path was the peculiar “woof! woof!” uttered by a pig when alarmed, and what he saw was utter devastation. In other words, a pig belonging to Farmer White had rooted his way under the roadside fence durin tin 1 night and rooted up and devoured every one of those Russian artichokes. Notone was left. Thu ruin was complete. Thus then and there began the feud between the houses of Farmer Harding and Farmer White. Within 30 minutes war had been declared—a war which lasted over a score of years and imbittered many lives. For the first five years that pig was a powerful factor in local politics. He even crept into religion and school matters. By and by the light was left to the two families, and lapse of tiipe did not detract from its bitterness. Children were born and children died, but the war continued. After 10 years Mrs. Harding was laid away in the village graveyard, but his loss did not soften the husband’s heart toward his neighbor. Two or three years later Farmer White died. On his deathbed ho refused to forgive his enemy. He called up wife and children and commanded them to continue the conflict. When the feud began, Henry Harding was a child 3 years old, and Emma White was not yet born. Twenty years later they were in love and engaged to be married. When the state of affairs became known to Mrs. White, sin* turned her daughter outdoors “for disgracing the memory of her dead father,” and Farmer Harding, who had now become an old man and was still a widower, threatened to disinherit his son and drive him away if the match was not broken off. Love carried the day. The couple were married and went to live in the town. The old man Harding had vowed that Henry should never have a dollar from him. He soon sold the farm and went to the other side of the county to live with an old maid sister who had a good sized farm which was tilled by hired help. Everything which he could sell was converted into money and deposited in the village bank. People who knew all about the case predicted that he would relent after awhile and do the right thing, but they could not fathom the depths of his bitterness. He lived for three years after the marriage and died without forgiving his son. It was pretty generally known that he had about $20,000 in cash, and it was generally believed that he would will this to his sister. Oh the day that Harding died I reached the town of Delaware on my two weeks' annual vacation. He was not yet buried when the gossips of the village had given mo all the particulars. There s little enough in it to interest a newspaper man, though I felt a bit curious, as did all the others, to see what the outcome would Ik 1 . That implacable hatred and bitterness which began with a spotted pig and ran down through a lifetime was a new phase of human nature to me. There is wickedness in a great city, but you never hear of lifelong feuds. To hate a man through years and years you must have quiet surroundings. The noise and bustle of a city, the part you must play as one of the spokes of the great wheel, ever turning and turning, may give you time to strike a man down, but not to hate him. When tho implacable and unforgiving old nmu. had been covered in, they searched for a will, but none was to be found. They went to the bank where he had kept his money, but not a penny Was there to his credit. In the cunning of his bitterness be had feared that a will would be contested and broken, and so he had made no will. Money left in bank without a will must have gone to Henry. Therefore he had drawn it out. The last withdrawal was made only two weeks before bis death. Well, that is how I came into tho case. A criminal reporter on a daily paper is more or loss of a detective. If not, then he is not a success us a criminal reporter. He runs against all sorts of crime and all sorts of criminals; he must be with the detectives more or less; he comes across mysteries, and the public demands theories and explana-

tions; he simply can’t help becoming interested. The excitement which followed tho discoveries I have mentioned was intense, and inside of 24 hours the public had jumped to a conclusion. It was known that Hannah Harding, the spinster sister, was also bitter against Henry, and it was therefore natural to believe that she had the money. As the legal heir Henry was advised to take certain steps, and Hannah, of course, employed a lawyer, and so the fight of HO years continued. A search warrant failed to find any portion of the money. Fifty men hunted high and low for two days, but in vain. Then I came into the ease. I went out with those who searched, but after a little talk with Hannah 1 was satisfied that she knew nothing of the whereabouts of the fortune. I found that Henry was inclined to the same belief. After some delay it was agreed that if I could find the money I was to have $1,000, Hannah $2,000, ami the balance was to go to the legal heir. 1 had an idea that I could find it, and 1 had a week to do it in. It was all theory on my part, of course, but I think you will lie interested in seeing how things worked out. In the first place, I went to the bank and found that old Mr. Harding had been four months drawing out his money, and that in every instance ho had requested a’d received gold. He had made eight withdrawals before bis account was closed. In every instance lie had brought eggs to market in a basket and carried his gold homo in the basket. It was five miles from his home to the village, and in instance he had made the trip in a farmer’s wagon, and tho farmer had never suspected the presence of the money. Let us reason a bit on this first discovery. If tho old man had intended to burn his money before lie died, he would not have demanded gold. If ho had intended to leave it to Hannah, ho would not have cared whether it was paper or gold. The fact that he insisted on gold satisfied me that Hannah was innocent—not only that, but that the money was to lie hidden away. Soon after tho old man came to live Avitli his sister robbers visited the farmhouse one night. They took the few dollars in money to lie found, tho old man’s watch and a suit of clothes and conducted themselves so lawlessly as to give the couple a bad fright. Let ns reason again. Would the old man, with the fear of another visit from robbers, draw out that money to keep it in the house? Assuredly not. He would have a hiding place fur it, and that hiding place would Vie away from the house lu every ease, as I learned from Hannah, he went to town in the forenoon and returned by 2 o’clock. Hi' was too old to work, and an old man in tho house always has a certain routine. On days that he did not go to town he always lay down for a nap from 1 o’clock to 2:30 or 3. If ho returned from town at 13, 1 or 2 o’clock, he took no nap, saying he did not feel the need of it. When the sister came to think a little longer about it, she remembered that on these afternoons he was not about tho house as much as usual. She had seen him go to the barn or walking about in the orchard, and on two occasions he had come into the house with wet and muddy boots ;uid made the excuse that ho had stepped into a hole. What should we reason from the above? First, that the old man had brought home money and was too excited to sleep; second, that he disposed of it in the afternoon, and the hiding place must therefore bo out of the house; third, he must have crossed the fields to find mud and water. Put yourself in old Mr. Harding’s place and tell me where you would hide away that gold. Not in the house, for fear of robbers first and a search warrant later on. Not in the barn, because the building was old and would fall

EVERYTHING LOOKED NATl'RAL. down in a few years, and because it was liable to be struck by lightning and burned. He wanted to keep it away from his son, and yet he wouldn’t want it lost for good and all, nor would he wish it to fall into tho hands of strangers. That is simply human nature. It is a paradox, but it is human nature as well. You wouldn’t throw it down the well, Incause the well‘would bo searched. There would he the same objection to sheds and stacks as to tho barn. Both Hannah and Henry felt sure the old man had buried the gold. I felt just as certain to tho contrary. He had brought it home in installments, and ho would not run the risk of opening and closing a cache seven or eight different times. The lost money was drawn out two weeks previous to his death. Whenever ho went to town he wore a pair of boots. On all other days he wore a pair of old shoes, which were soft and easy on his feet. He did not change back to his boots as soon as reaching home, but only after ho h;ul returned from walking about tho farm. Hence it might bo inferred that he had to pass over bad ground. The woman brought mo his boots just as he had pulled them off for the last time. There was dried mud on them. It could not be mud from the highway, because when he went to town last the roads wore dusty. The sole of the right boot was considerably worn, and in a crevice I found a little sand. Again, on that same boot, sticking to

the inml, were several blades of grass. She brought me the suit of clothes he had worn that day and for three or four days subsequently, but I found cockles and burs on the trousers and bits of rotten wood in one of the coat pockets. To the west of the house and half a mile away w iis the forest. To reach it he had to pass through the orchard. Between the orchard and the forest Avas a creek. On the east side of it, where 1 judged he would naturally atoss, was a lK*d of sand. On tfte othef side was a muddy simt, but with a log to walk on. The forest Covered HO acres of ground, and but little of it had ever lieen cleared of underbrush. In going from tho house through the orchard and across the creek and back I got plenty of cockles and burs on my clothes, and had 1 made a misstep at the log I should have fallen into the mud and water. Granted that the old njan had hidden his money in the woods, what particular spot should I look for? The hired man had not happened to see him go beyond the orchard, but on one occasion, when he had need of a certain tool and wenr to the shed to find it, it was missing. Two hours later it had been restored. It was a mallet he wanted. Going on the theory that the old man had used the mallet, 1 went to the shed and looked at all the tools. Mostofthem \ ere rusty with thodampuess. There was rust on a certain augur and on a certain chisel, but it was fresh rust. Thu point of the augur also retained some bits of the last wood it had been lioml into. These bits 1 was assured by several persons had a iHi-ehy taste. Therefore 1 reasoned that the augur had liecii bored into a beech tree. When 1 had been told that Mr. Harding was a carpenter by trade, I hud no doubt that ho had used mallet, chisel and augur to make a hiding place for his money. Tho first move was to go through tho forest in search of what might be called eligible beech trees. I marked off 20 within 10 minutes’ walk of the creek and then began a close inspection of each one. I did not look at tops’ or trunks, but on the ground. There were plenty of brush and limbs and dead leaves, but at tho end of two days’ steady search I found chips ami splinters in pawing around and then knew that the quest was ended. Never did a man hide his money in a safer place nor with more skillful hand. The tree was a double one for tho first four feet from the ground. Where the two came together was a decayed spot. It wasn’t larger than a man’s fist when Harding discovered it and began work. With augur and chisel he made a hollow in the solid wood large enough to hold a gallon or more of water. It not only held his $20,000 in gold, but considerable more could have been put in on top of it. Aside from making a plug, or stopper, which exactly fitted tho hole, he cut with his chisel a nick below it to receive and securely hold a large piece of dirt and moss. Behind the moss he affixed one of those excrescences you have seen growing on decayed logs, and both moss and fungus had taken root and were thriving. Everything looked so perfectly natural that 1 was a good hour getting at the keyhole of tho treasure box. Had 1 not found sure evidences of his work in the chips and splinters the tree would have been put down on the list of failures. He did not intend to leave those evidences behind him. As fast as he cut out the wood ho placed it aside, and as he crossed tho creek on his way homo he threw tho chips into the water, as ] afterward ascertained. Well, I have nothing more to tell you. The money was found and divided according to agreement. There was nothing difficult about the case unless it was its simplicity. I worked it entirely from theory, and the conclusions drawn were natural and deserved no credit While I expected no praise, i got what 1 did not deserve—censure. There isn’t a man in that town of Delaware who doesn’t firmly believe that I was either hid in the woods and saw the money hidden, or that tho old maid got frightened and revealed the hiding place, figuring that she had better take $2,000 than risk losing all. Home of them have even said that I ought to have been arrested for swindling Henry out of $1,000.

KnKli*li of Men. When a Hollander wants to show his contempt for an Englishman, he refers to him its a “steert man”—in other words, “the man with a tail. ” The old legend says that Thomas a Bocket cursed tho Kcutishmen who spitefully cut off his horse’s tail, and that tho entire generation of Kent which followed wore tails like horses. John Bale, Edward Vi’s bishop of Ossory, mentions the legend, but gWes some variations as to tho cause of the punishment. Ho says, on tho authority of John Capgrave, that "for Ciistyno ysho tayles at St. Augustine, Dorset shy ro men had tayles ever after that.” Polydorus, however, applies tho legend to tho Kentish men of Stroud, “fore cutting off Tomas Bucket’s horse’s tayle. ” One account says that only those living in Kent at the time the curse was pronounced "were afflicted with large, drooping tayles like brutes, their posterity beyug .not so affected ’ ’—St. Louis Republic.

CREMATED HER CHILD. Horrible T.ile of ltriit»llt.v on the Part of a West Virginia Mother. Parkkrshi hu, W. V., July 28.—Word has lieen received here of a terrible crime in Lincoln county, tbe details of which are so shocking as to be almost beyond lielief. Franklin Valentine, a married man with a respected family, living not far from Grantsville, Calhoun countv. had become infatuated with Mrs. Trader, a widow, and the couple had decided to leave the country. The matter was discussed in the presence of Mrs. Trader’s 4-year-old child. The little girl did not want to go. and ran away Irom home, going to Valentine’s home, where she told Mrs. Valentine that her mother and Valentine were going to take her away. Mrs. Valentine broke up the intended elopement, which so enraged Valentine and Mrs. Trader that they decided to take revenge upon the child. They tied the little one to a tree in the woods, piled brush around her and set it on fire and left the child to its fate. Fortunately Ira Johnson, who was hunting, heard the child's screams and arrived in time to tear away the blazing wood and release the child, but not until she had been horribly burned from her knees to her head and cannot recover. FROM ALTAR VO PRISON,. Touch of Uoiiiancc In the Case of Harry

Kchiler.

Boise, Ida., July 28.—Sheriff Gregory of Idaho county has arrived in this city with Harry Schiler, who was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment for killing a man named Wilson at Warrens over a year ago. A touch of romance enters into the ciise of Schiler. He went from his wedding to prison. A few days ago he was married at Warrens to a bright young lady scarcely 17 years of age. Schiler left a few days after his wedding for his prison home, while the bride went to her parents in the east, there to await the time when the prison doors shall swing outward to her husband and they shall be happily reunited. Schiler is well thought of in Idaho county, ami it is said he can get every man in the county who knows the circumstances to sign a petition for executive clemency. MUTINY AMONG CONVICTS.

Numbered with other useful information from Good Housekeeping are the following appetizing ways of using some of our common vegetables: Beets may bo served otherwise than pickled. They are nice if cut into thin slices and buttered to bo served warm. Occasionally chop them fine and pour over them a spoonful of melted butter and a sprinkling of pepper. Serve hot. Cold beets are delicious made into a salad with mayonnaise dressing, or they may bo combined with onion and cold potato, dressed with mayonnaise, and in this way form a desirable supper dish. Cabbage as usually cooked is too heavy for an ordinary stomach to digest. Try steaming it until soft and then serve it by pouring around it a white sau^e. Make tho sauce by melting a spoonful of butter, stirring smoothly into this tho same measure of flour. Pour into this mixture one pint of milk and boil until thick. Season with salt. This is almost as dainty a dish as cauliflower. Vary the usual preparation of squash by adding to the mashed squash an egg well beaten and a cupful of milk stirred together. This is a good way to warm up the squash from yesterday’s dinner. It is a very easy matter to make this mixture into squash omelet, and that is worth trying. If there is a cupful of squash, allow a scant cupful of milk and two eggs. Turn intoawel! buttered pan. Tho mixture will heat in three minutes, then fold and serve at once. Parsnips in batter are excellent. Cook the parsnips until soft. Cut lengthwise in narrow strips and dip each strip in a batter made like fritter batter. Fry until brown in smoking hot fat, having as much fat as for frying doughnuts. Parsnip cakes made by forming mashed parsnips into small cakes, browning on each side in butter, are a change which lias only to be tried to be liked. Celery in cream sauce, ns directed for cabbage, is a dish fit fox an epicure. Prepare it in the same way. Scalloped celery also is very good. Put a layer in a shallow baking dish and cover with eream sauce. Sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs and bake quickly. Try asparagus served in Ais fashion: The celery and tho asparagus must be boiled until tender before being put with the cream sauce. That is not for cooking, but for heating. The Sti'Hwherry lied. Tho proper kind of plants to uso in starting a strawberry bed are those grown the previous year expressly for transplanting. In growing plants for such purpose extra pains are taken in training and pruning tho runners so that only the best plants are preserved, and so few of these that no two shall stand closer than 6 or ti inches apart, i he late forming sets and runners are cut (iff, go that when winter sets in the bed is composed wholly of strong, well matured, well rooted plants. When wanted In the spring, the entire row— not the edges of it—is taken np, and a choice grade of plants is thus secured. Better pay an extra price for such plants than to take inferior ones as a gift
