Mineled with the Indian rites were services of 1 he American Legion and religious ceremony nf the local Catholic church. Scleral thousand Indians attended.

The White Horse Riders is composed of middle-aged warriors who won membership in the organization many years apo through special bravery. Major A. B.

After the White Horse ceremonial, regulation military funeral .services were conducted by the legion.

Sufficient Wool Business 1 to Keep Prices Steady By Associated Press) BOS-TON. Mav 21. The Commercial

bulletin Saturday says: "The demand for wool has been within restricted compass during the past week, but sufficient business has been done to keep prices fairly steady. "Operations are becoming more general in the west, buying to a moderate extent having been done in Texas this week at 16 to 20 cents, which means clean land costs, Boston, of 50 to 60 cents, depending upon the wool. The government has cut the offering of low wools to be sold here May 25 in half, the offering now being 3.00Q,000 pounds."

The Home Garden

The melon or cucumber aphis is abundant in Indiana every year and does a great amount of damage largely because no attempt is made to control it before it is too late. Watching the young plants and spraying with a tobacco extract as soon as the first BP'nides appear is necessary to successfully combat this insect says Prof. J. j. Davis head of the entomology department of Purdue university. Aphides or plant lice are sucking insects and cannot therefore, be controlled with an arsenical spray. The melon aphis iufects the undersides of the leaves and must be "hit" with the spray to -kill. They soon increase to enormous numbers if not checked and curl the leaves, making it much more difficult to reach them. Care should be taken to spray the undersides of the leaves, which can be done by using a three to four-foot spray rod, fitted with a good nozzle on a right-angled joint." Further the application should be made with a good pressure so as to more effectively reach all parts of the plant. The spray mixture is made up o? three-fourths pint of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate, four to five pounds of soap and 100 gallons of water. For 'mall lots, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of the nicotine sulphate and one ounce of soap is about the right amount for a gallon of water.

BURGLAR GETS 40 YEARS FOR HOTEL ASTOR THEFT NEW YORK, May 21. Carl Wehner of Toledo, O.. one of three men who last December entered the rooms of guests at the Hotel Astor and escaped with $2,000 and jewelry, today was sentenced to serve 40 years in state prison. Lewis Hawthorne, who also took part in the burglary, was sentenced to serve from 30 to 60 years last January. He turned state's evidence in Webiner's trial. The third burglar is still missing. Since Attorney Charles R. Johnson, of Worcester, Mass., became a justice of the peace in 1889, he has married 700 couples. He has a large collection of wedding ring boxes of all kinds. from boxes of white satin and plush to the battered pasteboard box.

PART SIX. "It's my race anyhow," gasped the Colonel, passing his band over his eyes! "I confess that I can make neither head nor tail of it. Don't you think that you have kept up your mystery long enough, Mr. Holmes?" "Certainly, Colonel, you shall know everything. Let us all go round and have a look at the horse together. Here he is," he continued, as we made our way into the weighing enclosure, where only owners and their friends find admittance. "You have only to wash his face and his leg in spirits of wine, and you will find that he is the same old Silver Blaze as ever." "You take my breath away!" "I found him in the hands of a fakir, and took the liberty of running him just as be was sent over." "My dear sir, you have done winders. The horse looks fit and well. It never went better in its life. I owe you a thousand apologies for having

doubted your ability. You have done me a great service by recovering my horse. You. would do me a greater still if you could lay your hands on the murderer of John Straker." T have done so," said Holmes quietly. The Colonel and I stared at him in amazement. "You have got him: Where is he, then?" "He is here." "Here! Where?" "In my company at the present mo

ment. The Colonel flushed angrily. "f quite recognize that I am under obligations to you, Mr. Holmes," said he, "but I must regard what you have just said as either a very bad joke or an insult." Sherlock Holmes laughed. "I assure you that I have not associated you with the crime, Colonel," said he. "The real murderer is standing immediately behind you." He stepped past and laid his band upon the glossy neck of the thoroughbred. "The horse!" cried both the Colonel and myself. "Yes, the horse. And it may lessen his guilt if I say that it was done in self-defense, and that John Straker was a man who was entirely unworthy of your confidence. But there goes the bell, and as I stand to win a little on this next race. I shall defer a lengthy explanation until a more fitting time."

We had the comer of a Pullman car to ourselves that evening as we whirled back to London, and I fancy that the journey was a short one to Colonel Ross as well as to myself, as we listened to our companion's narrative of the events which had occurred upon that Monday night ,and the means by which he had unravelled them. "I confess," said he, "that any theories which I had formed from the newspaper reports were entirely erroneous. And yet there were indications there, had they not been overlaid by other details which concealed their true import. I went to Devonshire with the conviction that Fitzrov Simpson was the true culprit, although, of course. I saw that the evidence against" him was by no means complete. It was while I was in the carriage, just as we reached the trainer's house that the immense significance of the curried mutton occurred to me. You may remember that I was distrait, and remained sitting after you had all alighted. I was marvelling in my own mind how I could possibly have overlooked so obvious a clue." "I confess," said. the Colonel, "thai eves now I cannot see how it helps us."

"It was the first link in my chain of reasoning. Powdered opium is by no means tasteless. The flavor is not. disagreeable, but it is perceptible. Were it mixed with any ordinary dish the eater would undoubtedly detect it, and would probably eat no more. A curry was exactly the medium which would disguise this taste. By no possible supposition could this stranger, Fitzroy Simpson, have caused curry to be served in the trainer's family that night, and it is surely too monstrous a coincidence to suppose that he happened to come along with powdered opium upon the very night when a dish happened to be served which would disguise the flavor. That is unthinkable. Therefore Simpson becomes eliminated from the case, and our attention centers upon Straker ana his wife, the only two people who could have chosen curried mutton for supper that night. The opium was added after the dish was set aside for the stable-boy, for the others had the same for supper with no ill effects. Which of them, then, had access to that dish without the maid seeing them?" "Before deciding that question I had grasped the significance of the silence of the dog, for one true inference invariably suggests others. The Simpson incident had shown me that a dog was kept in the stables, and yet, though some one had been in and had fetched out a horse, he had not barked enough to arouse the two lads in the loft. Obviously the midnight visitor

was some one whom the dog knewi

well. "I was already convinced, or almost convinced, that John Straker went down to the stables in the dead of the night and took out Silver Blaze. For what purpose? For a dishonest one, obviously, or why should he drug his own stable-boy? And yet I was ::t a loss to know why. There have been cases before now where trainers have made sure of great sums of money or by laying against their own horses, through agents, and then preventing them from winning by fraud. Sometimes it is some surer and subtler means. What was it here? I hoped that the contents of bis pock

ets might help me to form a conclu-i

sion.

"And they did so. You cannot have forgotten the singular knife which was found in tne dead man's band, a knife which certainly no sane man would choose for a weapon, ifwas, as Dr. Watson told us, a form of knife which is used for the most delicate op-

As a man of the world, Colonel, you know that men do not carry other people's bills about in their pockets We have most of us quite enough to do to settle our own. I at once concluded that Straker was leading a double life, and keeping a second establishment. Tho nature of the bill sbowed that there was a lady in the case, and one who had extensive tastes. Liberal as you are with your servants, one can hard; ly expect -that they can buy twenty guinea walking dresses for their ladies. I questioned Mrs. Straker as to the dress without her knowing it, and having satisfied myself that it had never reached her, I made a note of the milliner's address, and felt that by calling there with Straker's photograph I could easily dispose of the mythical Derbyshire. "From that time on all was plain. Straker had led out the horse to a hollow where his light would be invisible. Simpson in his flight had dropped his cravat, and Straker had picked it up with some idea, perhaps that he might use it in securing the

frightened at the sudden glare, and with the strange instinct of animals feeling that some mischief was intended, had lashed out, and the steel shoe had struck Straker full on the forehead. He had already, in spite of the rain, taken off his overcoat in order to do his delicate task, and so, as he fell, his knife gashed his thigh. Do I make it clear?" 'Wonderful!" cried the Colonel "Wonderful! You might have been there!" "My final shot was, I confess, a very long one. It struck me .that so astute a man as Straker would not undertake this delicate tendon-nicking with a little practice. What could he practice on? My eyes fell upon the sheep, and I asked a question which, rather to my surprise, showed that my surmise was correct. 'When I returned to London I called upon the milliner,. who had recognized Straker as an excellent customer of the name of Derbyshire, who had a very dashing wife, with a strong partiality for expensive dresses. I have no doubt that this woman had plunged him over head and ears in debt, and so led him into this miserable plot." "You have explained all but one thing," cried the Colonel. "Where was the horse?"
