THE CRIME Of THE CENTURY

[CONTINUED.] “Then he would accomplish little, for he has no brains.” Mr, Barnes spoke angrily, for he had begun to lose patience. lie thought that Mr. Mitchel went too far in his Adverse criticisms, and In this perhaps he was right. But the truth was Mr. Mitchol was excessively annoyed, not so much because a spy had followed him, but because for the first time in his experience he had not himself discovered the fact. He had therefore given vent to his feelings by resorting to satire. .. Mr. Mitchel had decided that Preacher Jim was 'possessed of quite a superior quality of brains, and edn'sequently he was attracted by Mr. Barnes’ words, well knowing tlmt they were not Idly spoken. “What do you mean by that?” said he. * “The man Is a monomaniac,” Mr. Barnes replied^ “On what subject?” _ “Oh, on the subject of last night’s lecture! I knowjiis histoty very well, having observed him for many years. One of his delusions is, that lie is himself fi great criminal. If you could get lijm to talk with you* lie would undoubtedly lead you to suppose that lie has committed many crimes and that through his marvelous skill he lias not only escaped arrest, but lias even avoided suspicion.” “But Is not this true?” “True as to his keeping out of the clutches of the law, but that lias not required any skill. Tie has committed no crimes since he left the reformatory, and he entered that when a child. The man is not sound here,” concluded Mr. Barnes, tapping his forehead significantly. “He does not Impress me as being unsound mentally,” said Mr. Mitchel doubtiugly. ' “Very likely not at a single interview. Perhaps indeed you may even have concluded that lie is endowed with unusual intelligence. But suppose that you were to meet him again and that his conversation should be substantially the same and that at many subsequent Interviews with you he should alwtfys descant upon’ the same topics in much the same words! Such has been my experience, and I am satisfied that his apparent brilliancy is ready lusterless. As I said at first, lie Is a monomaniac*.”

“Nevertheless, Mr. Barnes, he has proved the fallacy of your favorite theories With scarcely an effort of his feeble brain.” “What theory?” , “You arguM tlifit the theft of the will is good evidence against young Mora; tjtint the will Would lie useful to him, because ltA suppression would double his fortune.” “I did, and my opinion remains unaltered.” “Very good. Rut lot me give you

Rheumatism.

'Nobody knows all. about iti , and* nothing, now known, will always cure it. ' Doctors try Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, when they think it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. You can do the same. It may or may not benaused ». by the failure of stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is, you will cure not, you will do no harm. The way, to cure a disease is to stpp its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health. When Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cures; when it don’t, it don’t cure. It never does harm.

! Preacher .r.T, icon—tno mea, let us ; sny, of a practical, crook opposed to | the theory of a skillful detective. That j should be interesting, should it not? Well, then, suppose that any man— I that is, any man except the son—knew 1 of tills will and first stole the document and then murdered old Mr. Mora to make.it operative. Now. after this affair blows over anti young Mura is in possession of the property, including nine millions -bequeathed elsewhere, could hot the possessor of the will draw interest, as it wore, upon the capital liy presenting this important paper, say quarterly, in substantiation of his claim?” . “So that is Preacher Jim’s theory, is it? Well, it is precisely tlm sort of thing that a crazy* man would work mut, but which no sane man would either formulate or carry into effect. But,- considering it for a moment as among tlie possibilities*!! is easily demolished. No theory is of value which is not substantiated by collateral circumstances. Now, there are no facts to fit the supposition of a murderer from without, while the chain of evidence which encircles the son is almost complete. But, since you. have been discussing this, case with Preacher .Tim, perhaps you spoke to him about tlie plaid suit of clothes. What are his Views in that direction?” “There he .agrees with you- that’ is to say, he believes that the murderer wore them going in, as well as coming out, and that young Mora’s suggestion that they were taken from his room to roA er the blood stained clothes of lht‘ intruder is-untenable.” ‘ “Thus, you see, he advances contradictory theories' which substantiate mine as to Ins insanity. At one moment lm thinks an outsider came in and killed the bid man to get-tlie will and use it against the son, and. in the next breath he argues that tlie murderer wore the plaid suit, in which case the son must be the guilty party. So, you see, Mr. Mitchel. I fear you wasted yoUr evening—that, is, if you went aboard: that boat with any idea of probing this mystery.” A “Which, of course, 1- did not,” interrupted Mr. Mitchel, “Well, anyway 1 have to report that L did not waste my day. What would you say,'Mr.. Mitchel, were I to tell you that 1 have found that plaid suit and that, it is at present; in my pusses-, slon?” . “I should say that you are a very Clever man unless”— .“Unless what?”

“ Unless some one,found the things nnd brought them to you. That was a possibility prophesied by Preacher. Jim.” “Oil, indeed! But he probably meant the regular police. I do not have important clews and' evidence thrjdst upon me in that manner. Not 1 discovered these things by the.system which you deprecate—by spying.” “This is becoming Interesting, Give me tile details.” “I am to understand, then, that you will work- with me on the case? You asked for 2-1 hours in which to consider the matter, but you have not given me your decision. You have spent the last half hour charting me.” “Oh, 1 meant no offense! Surely you have taken none. There's my hand. ‘ Yes, 1 will study out this problem with you, but I stipulate for perfect liberty to proceed as i please.” “Very good. Then-1 will relate what lias happened since we parted. You speak sneeringly of spies and make a plea, for the use of brains alone. But it is only in fiction that a detective listens to the-story of a crime'and finds flic solution without visiting the locality in which it was committed or seeing the suspected parties. In practical experience the analytical work goes -hand in hand with what you call the spy system. If suspicious circumstances point,to a certain man, | we watch his movements, and often we .Very soon discover that he is innocent or ! guilty, especially when wo can spy upon hint’ before lie knows 'that lie is suspected. Witli that knowledge, of course, the criminal uses wore caution, To my mind, it was almost a certainty that young Mora killed his father. I argued that ire was unaware of flu* fact that lie had been observed by the watchman until lie, hoard it on the fol- '■ lowing day. Tie had changed his clothing because of the blood spattered up- j on him, and to offset the watchman’s j testimony lie denied his first vityt to the house.” “I follow you. Proceed.” “Think a moment. .If a man can j make a _ clinnge. of-clothing away from | his own home in the middle of the .! night, reappearing in garments which j arc not. new and which lie is known to have worn before, the logical deduction is that lie must ha ve another residence in which lie is sufficiently at home to keep a part of his wardrobe there.” • ! “Yes; you-a re right. Go on.” ' | “Having removed his blood stained garments and ’having, replaced them with a fresh suit, he would hurry home to bo the one to discover and report tin* crime, but when lie then learns that he bad been seen in a suit conspicuous, ltecaiise of its pattern he would naturally become anxious about that suit. Fearing that it might lie found in that closet at his other house, ; where he had hurriedly left it, he

would take tne nrst opportunity to remove it. Since the murder young Mora had been held to await the result of the inquest. Yesterday he was released, the district attorney evidently considering that to be the wisest course until be can obtain better evidence to present to the grand jury. Yesterday, therefore, the man had his first opportunity to go after the clothes. Therefore I watched him. I knew that he would lie cautious, and so I was compelled to use the double spy system. I ordered another man to follow him, which he did until, by doubling on his tracks always in itself a suspicious circumstance, young Mora had sue-

“!/<: hurried to the river, where he tossed the bundle overboard.” ceoded in discovering that lie was being followed, whereupon my man desisted. -After that I had no difficulty in continuing tlie chase, for, having rid himself of a spy, lie was no longer suspicious. 1 may say, in passing, that just after this my man met you. with Slippery Sum near Apollo hall, for we were in that neighborhood. Mora went straight to a house, which he entered, using a night key. Half an hour later ho came out again with a bundle. This time he looked about for spies; but, seeing no one whom lie mistrusted, he hurried by tlie nearest way to the river, where he tossed the bundle over- | board. You see, it was no part of his intention to destroy* the clothes. Indeed I have no doubt that he hopes that they will be found, whereupon he will claim that the assassin has thrown them into the river. But, unfortunately, such'a claim will not be only usel less, but it will liow injure liis cause, for I have some ideas about these garments which may prove puzzling to him.” ' “I would like to hear them.” “We will come to that better, I think, when we meet Mr, Mora face to face.” “And when will that be?” “I have taken the liberty to write him a letter asking him to call here on business of vital importance.” “And do you think that he will come'?” - “Yes. He is playing a bold game. It is time lie were here now, because I asked him to be. with Us by 10, aud it is uow half past. Therefore let me conclude. After recovering tlie bundle, which of course I did very promptly, I returned to the house, and there I discovered a pretty little woman, who calls herself Mrs-. Morton. Moreover, I am convinced that Morton and Mora are one anj.l the same.” “You mean to say that he is secretly married under an assumed name?” “So it appears at a superficial glance. What we may learn when we probe deeper remains to be seen. Ah! There is your bell. It is lie.” Within a few minutes the door opened to admit a young man faultlessly dressed in a suit of black. Young Mora was a beardless youth, with only the first suspicion of a mustache, but there was that in his manner which betokened a keen intellect and sharp ] wits. ITis eyes wandered from one to the otjier of the two men fearlessly and with 1 a look jvlficli rather challenged them. His chin was large and his jaws 'firmly set, indicating great power of self control. Withal he was a manly fellow and rather handsome, with his well chiseled features and black hair parted evenly in the middle, ; but brushed so that it did not seem j effeminate. Mr. Mitchel eyed him narj rowly, and a new interest in the case ! sprang up within his mind. Could this be a murderer? If so, he fancied that it Would be difficult to prove. He therefore awaited the Interview between Mr. Barnes and the newcomer with anticipations of enjoyment. It Avas to be a* battle-of wits, which always allured him. - “You asked.me to call here, I believe, Mr. Barnes,” said Mora, himself beginning the conversation. “I did,” replied tlie detective. “Permit me to present you to Mr. Leroy Mitchel. And now, if you please, bj seated.” -w- ~ r— 1 — - - pro BE CONTINUED.]

New Exemption Law.

The present exemption law of Indiana provides that S6OO worth of every householder’s personal property shall be exempt from seizore by execution and attachment for debt. The proposed law, which is being contended for by the State Retail Grocers’ Association, instead of “householders” exempts all classes of people who have minors, invalids or cripples to support, or and person who would otherwise become a charge upon the county or state. The exemption which is increased from S6OO to SIOOO, is made to cover real estate instead of personal property and is extended to every class ot claims arising from contracts, judgments, etc., and to 25 per cent of a man’s gross earnings; also to such of the necessaries of life as he may have on hand, his wearing apparel and certain necessary houshold furniture, provision for his family on hand, bibles, implements of nis industrial trade. By the proposed measure no employer can be exempt from any claim for labor.

Makes A Favorable Impression.

Kentland Enterprise. Senator Wolcott and family have taken up their residence at the Denison Hotel in Indianapolis for the session of the legislature. The writer while in Indianapolis last week had an opportunity to judge of the standing of our new senator, and we are pleased to state that he has made a most favorable impress on, not only with his fellow membeis of this senate but with other officials high in the councils of the party. Senator Ball, who is serving his third term, said, “Senator Wolcott is taking exceptionally well with his colleagues, and I predict a bright future for him as a state senator. He is courteous and obliging, and I am certain he will'be found on the right side of all questions coming before the Senate. Senator Goodwine expressed himself in a similar vein, and said that he desired to compliment the counties of White, Jasper and Newton lor sending such an able representative to the Legislature. Meufc. Governor Gilbert recognized Mr. Wolcott by placing him on six imp irtant committees as follows: Election, Bank Legislation, apportionment, Executive appoint, ments, Public and Chairman of the Committee on roads.

Old People Made Young.

J. C. Sherman, the vetern editor of the Vermontville, Mich., Echo, has discovered the remarkable secret of keeping old people young. For years he has avoided Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Indigestion, Heart Trouble, Constipation and Rheumatism, by using Electric Bitters, and he writes: “It can’t be praised too highly. It gently stimulates the kidneys, tones the stomach, aids digestion, and gives a splendid appetite. It’s a marvelous remedy for old people’s complaints.” “Qjaly S oc - at J* A. Larsh’s drug store. “

Save The Bird.

R. M. Kellogg, a prominent horticulturist of Three Rivers, Mich., writes the way to save the shade trees is to take the guns away from the boys and shoot cats; that unless the birds are left unmolested the destruction of shade trees by borers and other insects is only a question of time. Nearly every dead limb one sees is caused by a borer, the egg of which is laid by a miller on which the bird feeds. Mr. Kellogg feeds the birds in winter and does much to show his appreciation for what they do for him in summer months.

Made Young Again.

Purely vegetable. Never gripe. Only 25c. at J. A. Larsh’s Drug Store. Better to let the birds alone, is the advice of an agricultural journal. Some time ago the Pennsylvania far mers induced the legislature to place a bounty on the head of hawks and owls. In the systematic hunt that followed more than 100,000 of the pests were killed. Now the United States department of agriculture reports that the destruction of so many of the birds has resulted in a loss to the Pennsylvania farmers in a year of not less than $5,000,000. The explanation is that, in the absence of the owls and hawks, field mice and ether small rodents formerly preyed upon by them haye multiplied amazingly, and have done more damage to the crops than under previous conditions.

The Wheatfleld Oil and Gas Com- ' pany struck oil at a depth of UO feet, one and a half miles northwest of Wheatfleld, on the south half of Sec. 17, on the Dahnoke place. It is thought it will produce about three barrels <»f heavy lubricating oil per day. The company had a contract to drill three wells for Mr. F. W. Powers, I of Lafayette, Ind., who owns the land,! and this is the third well, the first two showing only an oil blossom. That, Wheatfleld will yet be an oil center is j almost certain.

Time to Oil Up. Like every other complex machine, the human body has its periods for repair. Sleep is Nature’s time for rest, when the repair shops of,the brain make good the damage of the waking hours. The man who cannot sleep, or who suffers from headache, nervousness, lost appetite, indigestion, heart trouble or pain, is running with a hot box. Give the tired brain and worn-out nerves a chance to rest. Stop! It is time to oil up. “I was troubled for a long time with a stomach disorder and terrible headaches. I could not rest or sleep and night after night would lie awake until three or four in the morning before I closed an eye. The doctors did not help me and I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine. I could see an improvement the second day, and in a few weeks my head and stomach trouble were gone.” A. H. Serff, Astoria, Ills. Dr. Miles' Nervine feeds and rests the weary brain and weakened nerves. It gives zest to the appetite, stimulates digestion, increases circulation and restores health to body and mind.

One Farmer’s Experience.

Kentland Democrat. The story is told on a good and industrious farmer residing in the northern part of this county, near Fair Oaks, that he troubled himself much during all of last summer to fatten 118 turkeys so as to have them in the best paying marketing condition at about Christmas time; that when he got, from some concern in Chicago, an offer of 13 cents per pound for his turkeys, which, of course was a little 1 etter than he could get at the home market — and that he trusting to the honesty of the fl ittering promises of the liberal paying concern in Chicago, to send him the pay for Iris birds by first mail after they had been received and weighed, sent them and is now free from any further care as well as for the pay for them—which he has not yet received. The same gentleman also shipped a lot of pota toes to Indianapolis from where he had received a bigger offer than the home market made, and after they had been graded down, netted about 10 cents per bushel on them.

Not content with pulling through mud during the fall and spring months, when all the roads are usually bad, certain of the farmers in Jackson township, Jay county, are showing a commendable spirit by commencing to build two and three-quarters miles of pike, where the road has been unusually bad, by private donation. Each farmer thus benefitted is asked to pay $1.50 for the first acre, $1 for the second and 75 ce'nts for each additional acre.

A clergyman, anxious to introduce some new hymn books, directed the clerk to give out a notice in church in regard to them immediately after the serman. The clerk, however, had a notice of his own to give out with reference to tfie baptism of infants. Accordingly at the close of the sermon he announced: “All those who have children they want baptized please send in their names at once.” The clergyman, who was deaf, supposing that the clerk was giving out the hymn book notice, immediately arose and said: “And I want to say for the benefit of those who haven’t any that they r may be obtained from me any day, between 3 and 4 o’clock; the ordinary little ones at 16 cents, and special ones with red backs, at 25 cents each.”—Ex.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS.

This is one of the best egg producers known. Hens have more difflculty in getting carbonate of lime to form the shell than any other part cf the egg, and fail to lay for this reason. Crushed oyster shell contains 96 per cent, of pure carbonate of lime, and one-third more eggs are positively received from hens that have free access to it. Sold by B. S.
