PART THREE By eleven o'clock the next day we were well upon our way to the old English capital. Holmes had been buried in the morning papers all the way down, but after we had passed the Hampshire border he threw them down .and began to admire the scenery. It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across from west to east. The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man's energy. All over the countryside, away to the rolling hills around Aldershot, the little red and
gray roofs of the farm-steadings peeped out from amid the light green of
the new foliage
"Are they not fresh and beautiful?" I cried, with all the enthusiasm of a
man fresh from the fogs of Baker
street.
But Holmes shook his head .gravely.
"Do you Imow. Watson," said he,
"that it is one of the curses of a mind
with a turn, like mine that I must look
at everything with reference to im
own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there." "Good heavens!" I cried. "Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?" ' "They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not
present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful country-side." "You horrify me!" "But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do
in the town what the law cannot ac
complish. There is no lane so vile
that he scream of a tortured child, or
the thud of a drunkard's blow, does
not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbors, and then the whole machinery of justice Is ever so
close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each In its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser. Had this lady who appeals to us for help gone to live in Winchester, I should never have had a fear for her. It is the five miles of country ' which nakes the danger. Still, it is clear that she is not personally threatened." "No. . If she can come to Winchester to meet us she can get away." "Quite so. She has her freedom." "What can be the matter, then? Can you suggest no explanation?" "I have devised seven separate ex
planations, each of which would cover
the facts as far as we know them.
But which of these is correct can only be determined by the fresh information which we shall no doubt find waiting for us. Well, there is the tower of the cathedral, and we shall soon learn all that Miss Hunter has to tell." The "Black Swan" is an inn of repute in the High Street, at no distance from the station, and there we found the young lady waiting, for us. Ph had engaged a sitting-room, and our lunch awaited us upon the table. "I am so delighted that you have come," she said earnestly. "It is so very kind of you both; but indeed I do not know what I should do. Your advice will be altogether in valuable to me." "Pray tell us what has happened to
you."
"I will 'do so, and I must be quick,
for I have promised Mr. Rucastle to be back before three. I got his leave to
come into town this morning, though he little knew for what purpose."
"Let us have everything in its due order." Holmes thrust his long thin legs out toward the fire and composed
himself to listen
"In the first place I may say that I have met, on the whole, with no actual ill-treatment from Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle. It is only fair to them to say that, and I am not easy in my mind about them." "What can you not understand?" "Their reasons for their conduct. But you shall have it all just as It occurred. When I came down, Mr. Rucastle met me here, and drove me in
his dogcart to the Copper Beeches. It
wife and the child. There was no
truth, Mr. Holmes, in the conjecture
which seemed to us to be probable in
your rooms at Baker street. Mrs. Rucastle is not mad. I found her to be a silent, pale-faced woman, much younger than her husband, not more than thirty, I Bhould think, while he can hardly be less than forty-five.
From their conversation I have gath-
erea mat tney nave been married about seven years and that his only child by his first wife was the daughter who has gone to Philadelphia. Mr.
Rucastle told me in private that the reason why she had left them was
that she had an unreasoning aversion
to ner stepmother. As the daughter could not have been less than twenty, I cain quite imagine that her position must have been uncomfortable with her father's young wife. "Mrs. Rucastle seemed to me to be colorless in mind as well as in feature. She impressed me neither favorably nor the reverse. She was a ninentity. It was easy to see that she
was passionately devoted both to her
I husband and to her little son. Her light
gray eyes wandered continually from
one to the other, noting every little
want and forstalling it if possible. He
was kind to her also in his. bluff, bois-
terious fashion, and on the whole they seemed to be a happy couple. And yet she had some secret sorrow, this woman. She would often be lost in deep thought, with the saddest look upon her face. More than o'nee I have surprised her in tears. I have thought sometimes that it was the disposition of her child which weighed upon her liind, for I have never met so utterly spoiled and so ill-natured a little creature. He is small for his age, with a head which Is quite disproportionately
large. His whole life appears, to be
spent in an alternation between sav
age fits of passion and gloomy intervals of sulking. Giving pain to any
creature weaker than himself seems to be his one idea of amusement, and he shows quite remarkable talent in planning the capture of mice, little
birds, and insects. But I would rather
not talk about the creature, Mr.
Holmes, and indeed, he has little to
do with my story."
"I am glad of all details." remarked
my friehd, "whether they seem to you
to De relevant or not."
"I shall try not to miss anything of importance. The one unpleasant thing about the house which struck me at once, was the appearance and conduct of the servants. There are only two, a man and his wife, Toller, for that is his name, is a rough, uncouth man.
with grizzled hair and whiskers, and a perpetual smell of drink. Twice since I have been with them he has
been quite drunk, yet Mr. Rucastle
seemed to take no notice of it. His
wife is a very tall and strong woman
with a sour face, as silent as Mrs. Ru
castle, and much less amiable. They are a most unpleasant couple, but fortunately I spend most of my time in the nursery and my own room, which
are next to each other in one corner
of the building.
For two days after my arrival at the Copper Beeches my life was very quiet; on the third, Mrs. Rucastle came down just after breakfast and
whispered something to her husband
Oh, yes,' said he, turning to me;
we are very much obliged to you
Miss Hunter, for falling in with our whims so far as to cut your hair. I
assure you that it has not detracted in
the tiniest iota from your appearance
We shall now see how the electric
blue dress will become you. You will find it laid out upon the bed in your room, and if you would be so good as to put it on we should both be extremely obliged.' "The dress which I found waiting for me was of a peculiar shade of blue. It was of excellent material, a sort of beige, but it bore unmistakable signs of having been worn before. It could not have been a better fit if I had
been measured for it. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle expressed a delight at the looks of it, which seemed quite exaggerated in its vehemence. They were waiting for me in the drawing room, which is a very large room.
stretching along the entire front of the house, with three long windows reaching down to the floor. A chair had been placed close to the central window, with its back turned toward
it. In this I was asked to sit, and
then Mr. Rucastle, walking up and
down on the other side of the room, began to tell me a aeries of the funni
est stories that I have ever listened to. You cannot imagine how comical be was and I laughed until I was quite
weary. Mrs. Rucastle, however, who has evidently no sense of humor, never so much as smiled, but sat with her hands in her lap, and a sad, anxious look upon her face. After an hour or so, Mr. Rucastle suddenly remarked that it was time to commence the
duties of the day, and that I might change my dress and go to little Ed
ward in the nursery.

ture in the nation," was the statement
of one man, "and we ought not to drop this office any more than we, would drop them." Savings Exceed Cost Answering the explanation of the trustee that he had voted against having a county agent for reasons of economy, all expressed themselves as believing that the savings of the office were far in excess of its cost, especially sice nearly two thirds of the salary is paid by the state and nation. . "We may not use him as much as we might," said W. G. Petty, "but that is our own fault. We want to keep him there to consult when we wi6h to, and to help us in emergencies. If we do decide to use him, we know he will
do us a lot of good. There probably isn't one of us here who could tell off hand on what feeds a hog will make the cheapest gain, and it is for such information that we want an agent." "We old ivory heads may not get as much benefit as we might from an agent," said Harry Schultz, "but we must think of the boys and girls who are growing up. They must be shown a better way of farming than we know, and Dolan can do it. I would be
glad to pay taxes for the county agent just for the good he can do for the children." Dolan is well fitted for the office, says Clifford Keane, who stated: "I have been into his office to have a talk several times, and each time I have come out wiser."
One speaker recited Dolan's activities during typical months, giving the number of office calls, farm visits, miles traveled and work engaged in and appealed for a square deal

Before the collapse of the czarist regime in Russia, that government had contracted a debt to France, appropriating $5,000,000,000. When the Soviet administration of Russia was established the Bolsheviki refused to acknowledge this debt and to this
fact has been attributed the refusal of . .
France to enter into any negotiations with representatives of the Bolsheviki or to arrange trade agreement such as was recently entered into between Great Britain and Soviet Russia.
