GOOD CHEER III AIR AS SIMPKINS SALE;

GETS $3,500 TOTAL By WILLIAM R. SANBORN There as a note ol cheer In the air at th Frank Simpkins farm sale, IV miles northeast of Green's Fork, on Thursday. It was one of the sale occasions when everybody seem to be In good spirite and bent on having a pleasant sociable time, regardless of how much or how little they may buy. The settlements were made by William , Thoma3 Steers, of the Green"6 Fork bank, and who volunteered the information that the '"crowd was the largest he had noted at any farm sale

within a year." Mr. Simpkins is going to Florida for a rest and change, and Mr. Steers said that the Simpkins family will be missed by the entirw community. A. D. Smith, who Is now to occupy the farm, purchased all the grain, hay and standing corn on the place on private terms, and these were not listed in the sale. But in spite of this large deduction of assets, Mr. Steers gives the net of the sale at $3,500. An Old-Fashioned Sale Farmers describe the sale as approaching the old-fashioned kind, which were so numerous prior to the depression. The bidding was quite spirited and competitive and that

prices averaged well up towaia reai ' values, is the general verdict. Alfred

Smith, living near Whitewater, paid $315 for one of the farm teams, which was considered well worth the money. John Nicholson got & gelding at $169, an odd figure which no one overtopped. Cows brought from $40 to $60, as the sales sheets showed. An niitstanriine feature of the sale

was the prices paid for good farm implements and the incidental offerings. For example, a double set of breeching harness cost John Hick. $87.50. i Hogs Average Well

snappy. The five Durocs with pigs at side ranged at $50 to $56 each, while

with a few exceptions. The fact that a lot of household goods were on sale attracted the

ladies, many of whom were present and who bid among themselves for numerous articles. The ladies of the M. E. Aid society of Green's Fork provided an appetizing lunch, which was

so quickly disposed of that fresh supplies were rushed in by auto before all were taken care of. Hindman and Weddle cried the sale.

The Final Problem

. PART THREE For a charming week we wandered

up the valley of the Rhine, and then, branching off at Leuk, we made our way over the Gemmi Pass, still deep in snow, and so, by way of tnterlaken, to Meiringen. It was a lovely trip, the dainty green of the spring below, the virgin white of the winter above; but it was clear to me that never for one instant did Holmes forget the shadow which lay across him. In the homely Alpine villages or in the lonely mountain passes, I could still tell by his quick glancing eyes and his sharp scrutiny of every face that passed us, that he was well convinced that, walk where we would, we could

not walk ourselves clear of the danger

which was dogging our footsteps. Once, I remember, as we passed over the Gemmi, and walked along the border of the melancholy Daubensee, a large rock which had been dislodged

from the ridge upon our right clatter

j ing coalblack rock, and narrowing in

to a creaming, boiling pit of incal-

culabled depth, which brims over and

shoots the stream onward over its jagged lip. The long sweep of green

water roaring forever down, and the

thick flickering curtain of spray hiss

ing forever upward, turn a man giddy

with their constant whirl and clamor. We stood near the edge peering down at the gleam ot the breaking water far

below us against the black rocks, and Ifstening to the half-human shout which came booming up with the spray out of the abyss. The path has been cut half-way round the fall to afford a complete view, hut it ends abruptly, and the traveler has to return as he came. We had turned to do so when we saw a Swiss lad come running along it with a letter in his hand. , It bore the mark of the hotel which we had just left, and was addressed to me by the

lanaiora. n appeared that within a

ed down and roared into the lake be-jVery few minutes of our leaving, an

English lady had arrived who was in the last stage of consumption. She had wintered at Davos Platz. and was journeying now to join her friends at Lucerne, when a sudden hemorrhage had overtaken her.- It was thought that she could hardly live a few hours, but it would be a great consolation to her to see an English doctor, and, if I would only return, etc. The good

Steiler asured me in a postscript that j

ne would himself look upon my compliance as a very' great favor, since the lady absolutely refused to see a Swiss physician, and he could not but

reel that he was incurring a great responsibility. ' The appeal was one which could not

hind us. In an instant Holmes had

raced up on the ridge, and, standing upon a lofty pinnacle, craned his neck in every direction. It was in vain that our guide assured him that a fall of stones was a common chance in the springtime at that spot. He said

nothing, but he smiled at me with the air of a man who sees the fulfillment of that which he had expected. And yet for all his watchfulness he was never depressed. On the contrary, I can never recollect having seen him in such exuberant spirits. Again and again he recurred to the fact that if he could be assured that society was freed from Professer Moriarty he would cheerfully bring his own career to a conclusion. "I think that I may go so far as to say, Watson, that I have not lived wholly in vain," he remarked. "If my

record were closed tonight I could still j survey it with equanimit y. The air of j I

London is the sweeter for my presence. In over a thousand cases I am not aware that I have ever used my powers upon the wrong side. Of late I have been tempted to look into the problems furnished by nature rather than those more superficial ones for which our artificial state of society is responsible. Your memoirs will draw to an end, Watson, upon the day that I crown my career by the capture or extinction of the most dangerous and capable criminal in Europe." I shall be brief, and yet exact, in the little which remains for me to tell. It is not a subject on which I would willingly dwell, and yet I am conscious that a duty devolves upon me to omit no detail. It was on the 3d of May that we reached the little village of Meiringen. where we put up at the Englischer Hof, then kept by Peter Steiler the elder. Our landlord was an intelligent man, and spoke excellent English, having served for three years as waiter at the Grosvenor Hotel in London. At his adivce, on the afternoon of the 4th we set off together, with the intention of crossing the hills and spend

ing the night at the hamlet of Rosen-! laui. We had strict injunctions, however, on no account to pass the falls of ; Reichenbach, which are about half-i way up the hill, without making aj small detour to see them. j It is. indeed, a fearful place. Thej torrent, swollen by the melting snow.j plunges into a tremendous abyss fronii which the spray rolls up like thej smoke from a burning house. The: shaft into which the river hurls itself;

be, ignored. It was impossible to re

fuse the request of a fellow-country

woman dying in a strange land. Yet I had my scruples about leaving Holmes. It was finally agreed, how

ever, that he should retain the young Swiss messenger with him as guide and companion while I returned to Meiringen. My friend would 6tay some little time at the fall, he said, and would then walk slowly over the hill to Rosenlaui, where I was to rejoin

him in the evening. As I turned away j I saw Holmes, with his back against a rock and his arms folded, gazing down at the rush of the waters. It

was the last that I was ever destined to see of him in this world. When I was near the bottom of the descent I looked back. It was impossible, from that position, to see the fall, but I could see the curving path which winds over the shoulder of the hill and leads to it. Along this a man was, I remember, walking very rapidly. I could see his black figure clearly outlined against the green behind him. I noted him, and the energy with

which he walked, but he passed from

my mind again as I hurried on upon

my errand.

It may have been a little over an hour before I reached Meiringen. Old

Steiler was standing at the porch of his hotel. - Tomorrow "The Final Troblem" continued.
