\\\\m\ ai'itmi).
By CHAFLES B. LEWIS <M. QUAD*. fCopyright, t.y (linrlrs B. Li'vris.) In the spring nf having been M’oumifd in k ca .’airy »kh'iuinh at the front, I was granted a luriongh of 60 days to go home and recover from tny injury. At that time I had an uncle named David Thorn, who kept an inn on the highway between Vtrnon and Rising Sun, lud., and there 1 sat me down to stay for the two months. The inn was on a main highway and the favorite stopping place with teamsters and travelers. Buyers of horses, mules and forage for the government also made the place their temporary headquarters, and there were no less than four stopping here when I arrived. My story has to do with only two of them. One of the horse buyers was a man named Janies V. Holden, whose home was in Cincinnati. He was a middle aged man, keen and shrewd, but lacking in education and manners. A man named George Carter, who lived in Indianapolis, was buying hay in that neighborhood and had three or four presses at work. On the first day of my arrival I had an argument with Carter on political matters, which left unpleasant feelings behind. On the other hand, in the course of a week Holden and I became friendly. Both of these men were pay-

Un that evening there were about 20 guest - in the house, most of them simply si p ping for the night. After supper Holdeand 1 sat on the veranda by oursehi for an hour or two talking of war. but at about H o’clock ho complained of not feeling well and went to Ids room. I had been shot through the left should' 1 and had to carry the arm in a sling, si it was of no use to me whatever. When Holden left me, I set out for a farmhouse two miles away to make a call on my sweetheart, I reached the house to find the family absent for the evening, and having walked slowly in the going and returning it was 11 o’clock before I reached home. The inn was not yet closed, but it so happened that I saw no one as I passed up to mj room. I went to bed and slept like a log till awakened by the breakfast bell. Breakfast was no sooner ovi* than Holden was reported ndssiijg. His bed bad been slept in, and some of bis things were still in the room, and it w as a, first supposed that he had turned out at an early hour and paid a visit to some farmer. It w as a matter of three or four days before any one became anxious, and it was tho man Carter who finally notified tho sheriff and declared his belief that the contractor had been murdered for his money. This idea was ridiculed by all of us. but when a period of ten days had elapsed and no news had been received, and when a relative of bis had come down to investigate the case, things began to look serious. It was three weeks from the time Holden disappeared until 1 was arrested by tho sheriff on suspicion of having murdered him for his money. It was Carter who directed the finger of suspicion toward me. While 1 am sure ho did not like me, I have always given him credit for honestly believing that I was the guilty man. I have told you that Hold-n and 1 bocame very friendly. You can easily see bow this should have come about, but once 1 was inrested they made it a strung point against mu. It vvn- aigued .uat * an object in view. No one saw him go to ins room when wo separated, nor waa he seen later on. Carter saw me when I started down tho road alone, but on my examination he swore that Holden was with me. He may have nonestly believed tins to be the case, but he did me a terrible wrong. No sooner was I under arrest than everybody but my ancle and aunt jumped to the conclusion that I mnst bo guilty. That is one of tho queer traits of hu man nature. Tho jail floors had hardly been closed against me when proofs began to pile np that I had murdered and robbed tho contractor. It didn’t matter that several persons knew he had received a large sum of money that day. Because I knew it I must have planned to get hold of it. Everybody else liked the man, but because 1 was friendly with him it followed that I was planning his death. Having flung mo into jail, they began searching for proofs to confront me at my examination. Tho inn, the barn and ..11 outbuildings were searched over and over again tor the proceeds of the murder. Nothing was found, of course, but the cute ones argued that I bad buried the money somewhere. While one party was looking for the money for thfl borly of STvictim. I was a boy of 20 and Weighed only 115 pounds and was totally disabled in my left arm. Holden w:\« k man of 40, stood 6 feet high and
weighed 20" pounds, l.adl been my ■ I could bat Uy have lifted him ofi’ hi feet, to say nothing of carrying his d- ■; body r.ny distance. It was figured < that I had asked him to walk down ti load with me. It was a mile to tin nearest house in that direction, and halt this distance the road ran through the woods. 1 had killed him on the high way and hidden his body in the woods, l^uecrly enough, a bludgeon was found in the ditch with a stain of blood on it. The woods were searched by- 50 men. Tiiey w ent over and over the ground till not a square yard escaped them, but they made no discovery. Then the cleared fields were searched for half a mile each side of tho road, and while nothing turned up and while I was set free at tho examination nine out of ten men honestly believed that I had mur-
dered and robbed Holden.
The fact that the body could not be found did not count much in my favor. When asked how it was possible for me to have moved it a single rod, the wise Alecks simply shrugged their shoulders. They would have it that I was guilty, and when my Uncle Thorn, driven to the last ditch by their want of acumen to figure out certain things, poured out his vials of wrath he simply killed his business as an innkeeper. When I was ready to return to the army, most of the patrons of the house had begun to avoid it, and in December of that same year it was sold out at a heavy loss. Relatives of the missing man employed the best detective talent to unravel the mystery. Three different officers worked on thecase, and it is but justice to myself to state that none of them believed that I was in any way concerned in the disappearance. As I was the last person who saw Holden that night, each detective had to begin his work at that point. It was a hard case to work, but it lias always seemed to me that one of the three ought to have come nearer the key of (he mystery. The first one worked for two weeks and concluded that Holden had reasons fur absconding. The second ono figured it out that the man had left tho inn early in the morning to seo some farmer and had caught a ride with some traveler. The traveler had killed him and carried tho body several miles before hiding it. The third was satisfied that Holden had become temporarily insane and wandered away, or that some fanner had inTmlered him
and escaped suspicion.
In June, 1865, when 1 returned from the army, tho inn was closed. It had changed hands two or three times, but the public had continued to avoid it, and it was finally abandoned. 1 had made up my mind before my return to the front to domyb< st to solve the mystery in case 1 lived to come back, and 1 was no sooner free than I went to Cincinnati to interview the detective who had been last on thecase. Hu had abandoned his idea of temporary insanity,
two years had passed without Holden , almost flcslih -s corpse floating, I ...I ..V .....1 1 I i'. l 1 Irtvn/iu v» rx ♦. . ♦■I,,. V..
tonight, 1 it have to look around lor a doctor to see what is the matter. That infernal dog over in the barnyard ought to be shot fur the way he barks at Bight. ” 1 went up to Vernon and consulted a doctor. As Holden was suffering no pain, the medical man concluded that his loss of sleep was duo to some mental strain. Hi* may have been addicted to drinking, smoking or chewing and was trying to break off, or he may have been worried over business matters. I went back to tho old inn with a new theory— a theory that Iloldeu never left the neighborhood If be was nervous qnd restless, tho barking of a dog would irritate him. He had spoken of it. My undo had a big dog which was always kept in the barn at night. I had not been disturbed by his barking, but Hoi- j don had. Suppose, then, that he had been provoked into getting up at midnight or late r, dn -sing himself and going out to soothe the animal and walk np and down as ho smoked a cigar. That would get him out of the inn, but how could be disappear so strangely? 1 sat on the rotting steps of tho lonely old inn one afternoon for three long hours and tried to work something out of this new theory. Opposite me was the big barn which used to shelter as many as 80 horses of a night, and on each side were sheds under which wagons could | be driven. Down in the barnyard to the left of tho barn was an old wooden pump standing to mark a well, while to the right and about the same distance away was a water trough fed by a pipe from a spring. The water I needed had come from this trough, but I had not before noticed tho pump. It was a trifling thing to catch attention and excite interest, but I found myself won- [ deriug if the pump was therein 1868 and whether the old well I knew to be tin re had been abandoned in my uncle’s time or later on. With no particular object in view I got up and crossed the road and opened the creaking gate and walked on to tho
pump.
It leaned at an angle of 45 degrees and was ready to fall at a touch. As I pulled it down a plank broke in two, and 1 heard tho water splash as tho fragments fell. I stood them looking around mo for at least five minutes before I knelt down to poi r into tho well, and at tho very first glance I sprang back with a yell. You have gue-snl what I found there. Holden had got up some time during the night to walk out. .My uncle, as 1 ascertained had abandoned the well fur tho spring several weeks b fore. Holden may have gonto tho pump to v. e h his face, ur he may have been cressing the platform when :■ plank broke and let him fall. At that time the well, which wan So feet deep, had only a foot of water ii it. Now, as 1 looked in, the water was within four feet of tho surface, and the \

being heard of, and was fully satisfied that he had bu n murdered by some farmer with whom he bad business. He advised mo to begin work on that theory, and I went to Indiana feeling quite certain that something might bo accomplished. I took up my quarters at a new inn about two miles from the old one, but had not been there two days wh“U the landlord asked me tomoveon. Tho news of my arrival had spread over tho county and produced unfavorable comment and would soon have made the inn notorious. In this emergency I took up my quarters in the abandoned inn, having first secured permission of the owner in Indianapolis. There were threats to drive mo out, butafter awhile, when it became known that I was working to clear np tho mystery, the people ceased to menace, but held aloof. My theory, as you will remember, was that Holden had left tho inn early in the morning and gone off to seo some fanner, and that farmer had murdered him. As soon I was left alono 1 began work. My uncle bad two saddle horses and a horse and buggy. If Holden had contemplated going any great distance, he would not have gone on foot. There were but three farmers within a distance of two miles, which I put as the limit of his walk. Holden only bought
knees drawn up to the chin. You will say that some one ought to have noticed tho broken plank m xt day. Soma one doubtless did and replaced it with another without thoi ght that an accident had occurred. Th re was found on the body a sodden mass representing the $3,000 in green bad , and at the coronet's inquest two doeior:-; declared that the man’s neck v\as broken by the fall. 1 was not only cleared twice over in law, but had alone and unaided solved the mystery, and yet of the dozen farmers who had declared mo a murderer only three would ooine forward and take my hand and congratulate me on the
results.
Fouche at Mahnairton.
In appearance Foneho reminded me of Marat, wlfom 1 had frequently seen in my early youth. Fouche was taller, | very thin. His hair and eyebrows were ; pale. Ids eyes were bloodshot, and his conipb xion was livid. Ho spoke with a volubility which made one think that ho was unburdening tho whole of his thoughts. He affected limitless devo-
tion to the first consul.
It would sometimes happen that he would come to La Malmaisou when Napoleon was away. He would then come
to me ami take mo out with him into
such horses as could be sold to tho gov- the park and speak to me at length on eminent for cavalry and artillery. In the vigilance witli which bo performed

face.
Tho screen, suspended from the upper crosspiece, is a fringed silk rug woven on a band loom, as old fashioned carpets were woven. It falls freely from tho top, its own weight keeping it in place, but it might be tied to tho stand-ard.-—half way down and at the upper corners—with bows of broad, soft ribbon or with heavy tassel tipped cords, ora smaller rug without fringe might be suspended by gilt rings and finished at the bottom with a row of tassels in ' mingled shades. These screens are handsome and aro very useful where there tiro i £ n fires, both in cold and warm weather, as a shield from tho heat in the former and as a screen for tho open emptiness of tho grate or fireplace in tho latti r.
