CHAPTER XVIII.


 We followed the dog-cart at a safo distance, which was not very far off in the fog, until it stopped at the stable gate. Then we slipped past quite un, seen on the other side of the road, while MT. Rayner was busy opening the gate; and at the front gate Laurence left me, and groped my way down the drive as fast as l could, and got in some min- utes before Mir. Rayner and his com panion. And as could rely upon the silence of Mrs. Rayner and the cook, I said nothing to anybody else about my excursion.
 After dinner MT. Rayner asked the detective if he liked violin music. to which he replied that he did not care for it much, it being rather a sc1atchy sort of an instrument. ..GiFe me the coneertina," said Mir. Maynard, geni- ally:
 "Then won't ask you to listen to my music,' said Mir. Rayner. "Um only q fiddler.

How a Verdict Was Reached.

Before Judge Stewart was elevated
to the bench. says the Baltimore sun,
he had a case in the city court in
which he was fearful of being thrown
out Of court. as the opposing council
was cutting down his claim. rs it
seemed probable that the jury. IL they
gave him verdict at all. would find
for n less amount than 500 OF which
the court could not take jurisdiction.
LAWYER Stewart resolved 10 put n bold
face on the matter. and demanded OF
the jury for at least 1928. When the
verdict was rendered. Lawyer Stewart
was much surprised TO lind that il was

reached. "You see, Mr.. Stewart.
said his friend. 1--WE could agree upon
no amount, and finally il was resolved
that each juryman should write a sum
on piece of paper. and the total
should be divided by twelve. which
should be the verdict. Knowing that

were two who wanted TO give $3.50

Polled Angus or Aberdeen are a
harder breed than the ShOrthorn. says
the Farming World. In many places
where they are bred in Aberdeenshire
the soil is rocky and barren, but the
stock owners there are pre-eminent for
their skill in the breeding and fattening
of cattle. which may account in a great
measure for the high quality of the
stock raised OH such land. A still hard
Ter is the Polled Galloway, bred in the
Southwest of Scotland. But OF all the
breeds of cattle in the British Isles
there are none perhaps so well adapted
for poor, moorish and exposed land, and
capable of existing on the scantiest OF
fare. as the Highland breed in the North
and West of Scotland. Breeding from
the second cross is not generally APP
proved by the breeders, and it cannot
be said how the tendency may go, and
after crosses tend to a gradual deterlO-
ration of the animal.

DEs MONIES, To-, April 1.-THE
SANITY City team fell down to-day be-
fore the aggregation of local talent.
The day was perfect and the attend
ance 1,5O0. 1t was almost blank for
the visitors. In fact the escape from a
complete shut-out is owing solely to the
orders of Manager Macular to Pitcher
Hart to slow up in the ninth inning.
Hart followed his orders. Daily, who
was first at bat in the ninth, lined out
single. Abbey followed with base on
balls, and Phillips single advanced
anything up to this time but drop one
easy fly. then sent the ball against the
fence for couple of bags, while DAILY
and Abbey scored, Phillips taking third.
A single by Cantillon sent Phillips in,
BurkS to third, and cold chill down
the spinal columns of the spectators,
and Broughton'S single advanced Can
tillon to third. Willie Mains then
lifted fly over into Oney Patton'S
territory, and that expert fielder took
it in, and by splendid throw cut Can
tillon off at the plate. This looked bet
ter, and moment later, when Murphy
was thrown out at first, the crowd was
happy. Mains was hit for six singles,
two doubles and two triples, and the
beauty of it was that nine of them fell
in four innings, sending the Prohibition
lists across the plate in great glee. The
game was characterized by clean work,
DeS Moines playing without an error,
and the visitors making but TWO.
Brimblecom distinguished himself by
taking seven flies in left field, four of
which We're of a most difficult order. In
tact, the field work of both teams was

rest is peculiar one. Last February
Henry Cook. who was then living with
his family in Omaha. wrote a note to
his wife, saying he was tired OF life and
was about to commit suicide. He
then disappeared. A few days
later body was found in
the river there. The features
were not recognizable. but by the
clothes Mrs. Cook identified the body as
that of her husband. A week ago Mrs.
Cook received word that man ne
sembling her husband was living near
here. She came here with her children,l
and with the aid of an attorney found
Mr.. Cook living with Dorothy Nicker-l
son. formerly of Omaha. The truanti
husband was taken before his wife and
children. The meeting was an affect
ing one, the children recognizing their
father and showing great JOY at what
they considered his return to life. Cook
refused to return to his wife and his ar

DID NOT MEAN MURDER.
Mamie Starr COnfesses to Poison
ing the NeWland Family.

CHICAGO. April IA coroner's jury
to-day began its inquest into the cause
of death of Mr.. and Mrs. Newland, of
Englewood, who were poisoned with
rough on rats, administered to them in
some canned corn by their maid servant,
Mamie Starr, few days ago. Miss
Grace NeWland told the story of the en-
ployment of the girl as cook, and of
giving her % cents to buy medicine to
cure toothache. Mamie Starr then took
the witness stand. She repeated her
confession made to the police some days
ago. She said she was respondent and
intended to commit suicide. She put
some of the poison in the corn in order
that the members of the family might
be made ill. so that her death would not
be laid to suicide. but to eating poisoned
corn, and thereby avoiding disgrace.
She did not intend to kill the New
lands.
The jury returned a verdict recon-
mending that the woman be held with
out bail to await the action of the grand
jury. No expression was given as to
the truth or falsity of her story. When
the verdict was read the prisoner tainted

DUBUQUE, To-. April ia shooting
affray occurred at late hour last night
at North McGregor, which contains
much of sensational character. George
Cornell, young man of twenty-nine,
yeaIs, is an engineer ON the Milwaukee
81 st. Paul railroad, and son of Road
master G. II. Cornell, of that road, a
well-known citizen of Dubuque. Cor
nell arrived at North McGregOr at IL p.

IDENTIFY waiting for him. Grinnell
walked up to him, and, without word,
discharged two bullets from revolver,
buth entering the head just above the
eyes. Cornell is still alive, but is
unconscious, and it is impossible for
him to recover. Grinnell, who
did the shooting, .has been for years
official reporter and stenographer of the
district court of the McGregor district
and is well known. 1t is alleged that
Cornell had been paying too much at
tention to GrinnelIs wife. Mrs. Grin

although her home is at McGregor, and
better opportunities have been pre-
sented for meetings. On being inter
viewed this afternoon she declared she
