BETTER GOVERNMENT FOR INDIA SEEN AS NEW POLICY RESULT

(ny Associated Pr - LONDON. April 30. Th session of the New Indian Legislature, vhieh is now closing, may mark a deflnite epoch In Indian administration, savs the Bombay correspondent of tht Times. , It opened, he adds, under the shadow of unassuaged bitterness In . the Punjab and under the oppression of heavy burdens of taxation made necessary by military considerations. "In this heavy weather," the correspondent writes, "the new constitutional bark might easily have foundered. That it has passed into comparatively calm waters Is due to the Duke of Connaught's visit." Visit Clears Air. This royal visit with the Duke's ap pead for unity, the Indian govern ment's frank confession of error in dealing with disturbances and particularly Lord Rawlinson's declaration of military policy, it is said, cleared away

the ,PurLiab miasms for the session.

"The constitution now has the line clear for a year," says the correspond ent. "This it owes in large measure to Mr. Gandhi (the native anti-British leader), and the doctrine of non-co-operation. By keeping, from thu councils the firebrands who would have gone there only to obstruct, and by leaving the way free for men deFirous of genuinely working for reforms, an opportunity has been afford ed for an understanding between the government and the councils established all over the country"But the battle between constitutionalism and revolution has to be fought this year. All over the country Onon-co-operationism is developing into undisguised tyranny, too often accompanied by disorder. Mr. Gandhi deplores this for the moment. It is inevitable that as soon as the dismal failure of his effort. to bring all governments to a standstill is realized by Mhe public he will b driven to take further measures."

he was. I thought he had not the nerve to lie quiet before an alarm of fire. We could, of course, have gone in and taken him, but It amused me to make him reveal himself, besides, I owed you a little mystification, Lestrade, for your chaff In the morning." "Well, sir. you certainly got equal with me on that, But how in the world did you know that he was in the house at all?" "The thumb-mark, Lestrade. You said It was final; and so it was, in a very different sense. I knew it had not been there the day before. I pay a good deal of attention to matters of detail, as you may have observed, and I bad examined the hall, and was sure that the wall was clear. Therefore. It had 'been put on during the night." - "But how?" "Very simply. When those packets were sealed up, Jonas Oldacre got McKarlane to secure one of the seals by putting his thumb upon the soft wax. It would be donV so quickly and so naturally, that I dare say the young man himself has no recollection of it. Very likely it ju?t happened, and Oldacre had himself no notion of the use he" would put it to. Brooding over the case in that den of his. it suddenly struck him what absolutely damning evidence he cou'.d make against McFarlane by using that thumb-mark. It was the simplest thing in the world for him to take a wax impression from the seal, to

moisten it in as much blood as he!

could get from a pin-prick, and to put the mark upon the wall during the!

i night, either with his own hand or

with that of his housekeeper. If you examine among those documents which he took with him into his retreat. I will lay von a wager that vou

find the seal with the thumb-mark

upon it."

"Wonderful!" said I.estrade. "Won

derful! It's all as clear as ervstal. as

you put it. But. what is the object of this deep deception, Mr. Holmes?"

It was amusing to me to see how

H0LLANSBUR6 HIGH PUPILS GRADUATED

HOLLANSBURG. O.. April 30.-

Oommeneement exercises for the grad

uating class of the Hollansburg high school were held here in the Christian church. Friday evening. Rev. Jloehn of Baldwin college delivered the address. Music was furnished by the Greenville orchestra. The class colors were red and white. Graduates who received their cliplomas wore: Louis Land, Bertha Dinser, Louverla Miller. Ora Beatty, Robert Mikesell. Irma Worfal. Sarah Keller. Mabel Moore and Leroy Baker. The grade school term at Hollansburg ended Friday.

The noted tenor is many pounds thinner as the result of his long illness and operations, as the photo above shows. His face is haggard, too. The star and his young wife were photographed recently when they returned from an airing.

the detective's overbearing manner had changed suddenly to that of a child asking questions of its teacher. "Well, I don't think that is very hard to explain. A very deep, malicious, vindictive person is the; gentleman who is' now waiting us downstairs. You know that he was once refused by McFarlane's mother? - You don't! I told you that you should go to Blackheath first and Norwood afterwards. Well, this in jury., as he would consider it, has rankled in bis wicked, scheming brain, and all bis life he has longed for vengeance, but never seen his chance. During the last year- or two, things have gone against, him secret speculations, I think and he find3 himself in a bad way; He determines to swindle his creditors, and for thU purpose he pays large checks to a certain Mr. Cornelius, who Is. I imagine himself under another name. I have not traced these checks 'yet. but I have no doubt that tbey were banked under that name at some pro-" vincial town where Oldacre from time to time led, a double existeuce. He intended to change his name altogether, draw this money, and vanish, starting life agaiu elsewhere." "Well, that's likely enough." "It would strike him that in disappearing he might throw all pursuit off his track, and at the same time have an ample end crushing revenge upon his old sweetheart, if he could give the impression that he had been murdered by her only child. It was a masterpiece of villainy, and he carried it out like a' master. The idea of the will, which would give an obvious motive for the crime, the secret visit

unknown to his own parents, the retention of the stick, the blood, and the animal remains and buttons in the wood-pile, all were admirable. It was a net rom which it seemed to mo, a few hours ago, that there was no possible escape. But he had not that supreme gift of the artist, the knowledge of when to stop. He wished to improve that which was already per

fect to draw the rope tighter yet round the neck of his unfortunate victim and so he ruined all. Let us descend, Lestrade. There are Just one or two - questions that I would ask him." The malignant creature was seated in his -own parlor, with a policeman 'upon each side of him. 'It was a Joke, my good sir a practical joke, nothing more," he whined incessantly. "I assure you, -sir, that I simply concealed myself in order to see the effect of my disappearance, and I am sure that you would not be so unjust as to imagine that I would have allow rd any barm to befall poor young Mr. McFarlane." "That's for a jury to decide." said Lestrade. "Anyhow, we shall have you on a charge of conspiracy. If not for attempted murder." "And you'll probably find that your creditors will impound the banking account of Mr. Cornelius." said Holmes.

The little man started, and tamed his malignant eyes upon. my. friend. "I have to thank you for a good deal said he. "Perhaps I'll pay my debt some day." " "I fancy that, for some few years.

! you will find your time very fully oc

cupied," said be. 'By the. way. what was It you put into the wood-pile besides your old trousers ?- - A dead dog. or rabbits, or what? You won't tell? Dear me. bow very unkind - of you ! Well, well, I dare Bay that a coup!e of rabbits would account both for tb blood and for the charred ashes. It ever you write an account. Watson, you can make rabbits serve ; your turn."

PART SIX. It had hardly died away when an" amazing thing happened. A door suddenly flew open out of what appeared to be a solid wall at the end of the corridor, and a little, wizened man darted out of it, like a rabbit out of its burrow. "Capital!" said Holme?, calmly. "Watson, a bucket of water over the straw. That will do! Lestrade, allow me to present you with your principal missing witness, Mr. Jonas Oldacre." The detective stared at the newcomer with blank amazement. The latter was blinking in the bright light of the .corridor, and peering at us and at the smouldering fire. It was an odious face crafty, vicious, malignant. !with shifty, light-gray eyes and white lashes. "What's this, then?" said lestrade, at last. "What have you been doing all this time, eh?" Oldacre gave an uneasy laugb. shrinking back from the furious red face of the angry detective. "I have done no harm." "Xo harm? You have done your best to get an innocent man hanged. If it wasn't for this gentleman here, I am not sure that you would not have succeeded." The wretched creature began to whimper. "I am sure, sir, It was only my practical joke." "Oh! a joke, was it?

his foolscap once more eh, Watson? Well, now, let us see where this, rat has been lurking." A lath and plaster partition had been run across the passage. six feet from the end, with a door cunningly concealed in it. It was lit within by slits under the eaves. A few articles of furniture and a supply of food and water w-ere within, together with a number of books and papers. "There's the advantage of being a builder," said Holmes, as we came out. "He was able to fix up his own little hiding-place without any confederate save, of course, that precious housekeeper of his, whom I should lose no time in adding to your bag. Lestrade."
