PART TWO. "What are they?" "It appears that his arrest did not take place at once, but after the return to Hatherley Farm. On the inspector of constabulary informing him that he was a prisoner, he remarked ihat he was not surprised to hear it, and that it was no more than his deserts. This observation cf his had the natural effect of removing any trace of doubt which might have remained in the minds of the coroner's jury." "It was a confession," I ejaculated. "No, for it was followed by a protestation of innocence." "Coming on the top of such a damning series of events, it was at least a most suspicious remark."

"On the contrary," said Holmes, "it I

i ner's lodgekeeper, his house being the

nearest, to ask for assistance. I saw no one near my father when he returned, and I have no idea how he came by hi3 injuries. He was not a popular man, being somewhat cold ami forbidding in his manners; but he had, as far as I know, no active enemies. I know nothing of the matter.' The Coroner: Did your father make any statement to you before he died? "Witness: He mumbled a few words, but I could only catch some allusion to a rat. "The Coroner: What did you under-

is the brightest rift which I can at present see in the clouds. However innocent he might be, he could not be such an absolute imbecile as not to see that the circumstaances were very black against him. Had he appeared surprised at his own arrest, or feigned indignation at it, I should have looked upon it as highly suspicious, because Fuch surprise or anger would not be natural under the circumstances, and yet might appear to be the best pol

acceptance of the situation marks him as either an innocent man, or else a man of considerable self-restraint and firmness. As to his remark about his deserts, it was also not unnatural if you consider that he stood beside the dead body of his father, and that there is no doubt that he had that very day so far forgotten his filial duty as to bandy words with him, and even according to the little girl, whose evidence is so important, to raise hi.3 hand as if to strike him. The selfreproach and contrition which are displayed in his remark appear to me to be the signs of a healthy mind, rather than of a guilty one." I shook my head. "Many men have been hanged on far slighter evidence," I remarked. "So they have. And many men have been wrongfully hanged."

"The Coroner: I understand that

the cry of 'Cooee' was a common signal between you and your father? "Witness: It was. "The Coroner: How was it, then, that he uttered it before he saw you, and before he even knew that you had returned from Bristol? "Witness (with considerable confusion): I do not know. "A Juryman: Did you see nothing which aroused your suspicions when you returned on hearing the cry, and found your father fatally injured? "Witness: Nothing definite.

He pickeci out from his bundle a copy of the local Herefordshire paper, and having turned down the sheet, he pointed out the paragraph in which the unfortunate young man had given his own statement of what had occurred. I settled myself down in the corner of the carriage, and read it very carefully. It ran this way: "Mr. James McCarthy, the only son of the deceased, was then called, and gave evidence as follows: 'I had been away from home for three days at Bristol, and had only just returned upon the morning of last Monday, the third. My father was absent from home at the time of my arrival, and I was informed by the maid that he had driven over to Ross with John Cobb, the groom. Shortly after my return I heard the wheels of his trap in the yard, and looking out of my window, I saw him get out and walk rapidly out of the yard, though I was not aware of the direction in which he was going. I then took the gun and strolled out in the direction of Boscombe Pool, with the intention of visiting the rabbit-warren which is upon the other side. On my way I saw

u llliam Crowder, the gamekeeper, as I he has stated in his evidence; but h? is mistaken in thinking that I was following my father. I had no idea that he was in front of me. When about a hundred yards from the pool I heard a cry of "Cooee!" which was a usual signal between my father and myself. I hurried forward. ?nd found him standing by the pool. He appealed to be much surprised at seeing me. and asked me rather roughly what t was doing there. A conversation en sued which led to high words, and almost to blows, for my father was a man of veiy violent temper. Seeing that his passion was ungovernable, I left him and returned toward Hatherley Farm. I had not gone more than 150 yards, however, when I heard a hideous outcry behind me, which caused me to run back again. I found

impression that as I ran forward

something lay upon the ground to the left of me. It seemed to me to be something gray in color, a coat of some sort, or a plaid perhaps. When I rose from my father I looked round for it, but it was gone. " 'Do you mean that it disappeared before you went for help?' " 'Yes, it was gone.' "'You cannot say what it was?' " 'No. I had a feeling something was there.' " 'How far from the body?' " 'A dozen yards or so.' " 'And how far from the edge of the wood ?' " 'About the same.' "Then if it was removed it was while you were within a dozen yards of it?' " 'Yes, but with my back toward it.'

The use of tungsten as a reproducing point was a real discovery and an actual invention. Its soft fibrous qualities were what had been sought for years. This truly remarkable metal always insures a perfect reproduction of the music and at the same time gives long life to the records. The tungsten wears itself away rather than the records. You get these advantages only in the Victrola Tungs-tone Stylus the Victor Company patented the stylus composed of tungsten and therefore has the exclusive right to the use thereof in any form of talking-machine needle. Three tones extra loud, full, soft. The new extra loud stylus will be largely used for dance music and outdoors. 10 cents per package of four points enough to play at least 1000 records. Semi-permanent. Changeable. Sold by all Victor dealers.
