He listened without interfering re-
mark, only to caution Holbrook to sus-
pend his narrative when the waiter or
some one else approached too closely.
When it was finished he was thought
full.
Finally he said:
"You should have told this to the cor
oner. But am glad you did not. You
ought to tell this to your high official,
but hope you won't"
"What do you think of it all?" asked
Holbrook.
''It is queer mess, and l think it
deeper than ever. There's a great story
behind that murder. UNI! That girl
thinks she knows who did it, and she is
afraid for the man. Questioning her
would do no good now; nor would it
have done when you saw her, although
she was then more on her guard than
she will be again. After all, she said
nothing; as you say, it was all in her
manner. don't think as much of the
button as did"
"Why?"
Because she recognized it, and saw it
| didn't belong to the man she thinks did
the deed. She thought until she saw it
that you had something that could be
| traced to the man she wants to screen.
| She thinks now that you are on false
trail. You must throw yourself in her
way again as soon as you can. She will
be anxious to know how your suspicious
are tending. Don't show her that you
| have an idea that she knows or suspects
any one" He thought moment and
said, II suppose she is in love with the
man."
Holbrook had not reasoned so closely,
but he was struck with the cogency of
Bryan's argument.
"The buttons, then, are of no value"
he said, and he laughed as he added, Il
| promised four times the value to have
them done quickly"
"They are of value" quickly respond
| ed Bryan, great value; all the same,
they may track the murderer. 1t is by
no means certain that Miss Ashgrove's
| suspicious are correct. She may be on
a false scent. But, after all, she would
not suspect any one of committing the
| deed unless there was reason existing
for doing it. Now what is that reason?
That is what we must try to find out"
"But how? The way is dark"
"Oh, l have seen more tangled skeins
than this unraveled. The great point is
to make the first step. After that things
| go easy"
Holbrooks tale of the interview with
Flora had occupied the time of the din
ner, and Toms comments upon it had
been made over their cigars.
Having exhausted speculation as well
as argument upon it, Holbrook looked at
his watch and pronounced it time to set
out for the Casino

midsummer the house was crowded.
The audience, however. was not fur
nished by New York.
1t was clearly made up of strangers to
the city.
Tom made this remark to his compan-
ion as soon as they seated themselves.

quite as much as anything else to do

The first act then demanded their at
tention, and at its close Tom looked about
the house.
He directed the attention of Holbrook
to one of the boxes.
SIS that not Flora Ashgrove?"
Holbrook leveled his opera glasses at
the box pointed out.
Eyes. No doubt of it, though her back
is turned to us. Who are the others in
the box?"
"Let me have the glasses" said Tom,
81 can not make them out. Three men
and another woman. They sit in the
shadow. Stop. there is some one coming
from the box. Oh, it's Dick Witherspoon,
her cousin. That's all right. he'll come

for many years Do you want a techni-
cal description? 1t would be valuable
only to another jeweler."
Holbrook meGitated.
The high official looked ON with inter-
est.
Finally Holbrook spoke.
Can you make me an imitation of
that button
"Oh yes, pretty near; so near that only
jeweler would discover the difference"
"Stone and alp
The stone is the easiest part"
Make me two then-a pair"
The high official spoke:
But the button cannot leave here"
II don't want it, except to get the color
of Uhe imitation metal, and the color /
can put on here" replied the jeweler.
That can be arranged" said the Off
cial
Then | want to see it once to match
the stones.
That also can be arranged"
While the jeweler was making notes
of the button, Holbrook began close
examination of the make and style of
the clothes. Having satisfied himself as
to that, he turned the trousers wrong
side OUT, and found a place where the
cloth had been widely turned over at a
seam. 1t gave a complete idea of the
pattern of tho cloth.
Il want to cut so much off"
The official hesitated and looked
grave.
The two retiI ed to a corner and con-
versed earnestly. Holbrook was per-
sistent and energetic. The official
yielded.
A pair of shears from the high officials
desk did the work,
When the jeweler intimated that he
had finished his work of examination,
Holbrook looked at his watch; it was 5
o'clock
"What will be the cost of these but
tons?"
The jeweIer named what he thought
would be the sum.
Il will give you four times that amount
if you will deliver them at my office at
20 o'clock, day after Tomorrow"
81 shall have to work night and day
then"
That's why offer you four times the
sum you name. The affair is urgent"
"They will be DONE"
Holbrook then went to Delmonicos,
where he found Bryan awaiting him.
LET us get somewhere where we can
talk without being heard, said Holbrook.
They took the corner of Twenty-sixth
street and Broadway.
Tom took the seat with his back to the
corner.
Thus he was enabled to survey the
whole room and could note who en-
tered.
After they had given their orders, Hol-
brook handed Tom the slip of cloth.
"What is that?'
"a piece of the suit worn by the MUIR
derer.''
"You are prompt. Are you sure it is
the same?"
Sure. cut it off myself"
Good. Have you a description of the
button?"
"No. have done better"
"What?'
II shall have, day after tomorrow, a
pair of them-a complete imitation of
the buttons, SO close you could not tell
''tother from which,"
"You are an angel. Good, this is get

While they were dining Holbrook told

Tom was deeplv interested.

TIE CROP.
Taking q general view Of the tobacco
crop Of Virginia and North Carolina
we should say that It is growing OF
finely and .vig0rOusly. No incOnsider-
able part will be ready to top in very
few days. The main trouble lies now
IN the fact that continuous rams in
many sections have washed out the
fertilizers put on. without which the
plant cannot do so well later on. No
important part Of Virginia and North
Carolina proposes to have full crop,
but the rate 40 which most is growing
makes 10 more Likely there will be
full than - per cent. Of crop only.
and II II is what IL ought TO
be. something really good and fine, there
will be no regrets 10 express. There is
outcome for fine dark. and there is q
big probability Of high prices for all fine
new crop brights for next year. But
we still adhere to smaller planting for
bos. results.

Of ram and receipts are beginning to
improve IN quantity, but IL is generally
conceded that the crop Is largely mar
keted and very little good tobacco is
now held by farmers. So far is color
is concerned, and this fact being APP
preciatsd by some OF the best ported
manufacturers and dealers, 1t is now a
common occurrence to see our market
visited by large buyers, who being ac-
baccOs grown in this section and know
ing the good reputation Of our buyers
az handlers. have not hesitated TO buy
readily when shown stock suitable
for their wants. Thus We know
of sales made by all dealers
since 18th instant, amounting 10
over $4,000. These purchases
consisted of filters, smokers, cutters
English and domestic) and wrappers,
showing that all grades sold on our
market are appreciated and sought at

of redried cutters held here and stopped
some stock that was in transit. These
large sales being effected here at home
