The colonel rose. he felt that his

SPECIMENS OF PIPES.

Odd Ways In Which All Glasses OF
People Make Them.
A long and slender stemmed pipo
was brought from Central Africa
some years ago from the neightor-
hood of Albert Nyanza. oy the Stanley
expedition and was obtained from
the dwarf tribes inhabiting the Ar
weni and Ituri forests near the
equator. To make the pipe the little
people take the midrib OF the banana
leaf which is cellular and. by push
Ing long, hard river reed through
the rib they are enabled to get the
bore required for the pipe stem
They plug the lower end with clay
and rolling up q section OF banana
leaf into tiny cornucopia cut "A hole
in the stem and insert it for "A bowl
the sap in the green leaf preventing
its combustion as the tobacco burns.
This pipe recalls the bowl made from
a potato and the stem made out OF a
piece OF twig from which the pith had
been driven. which was employed by
many American soldiers during the
great war.
Another curious pipe is made from
a shell which comes from New Guinea
While the pipes used in the interior
are more generally made OF bamboo.
those smoked in the ne ghborhood OF
the coast and especially in Ssvo and
the Solomon islands, are made OF
shells which are picked up on the
seashore. At present the prime pal
pipe used in the southern portion OF
New Guinea and the adjacent islands
is the English clay and a pipe OF
this description is generally accepta-
bic as a part of the payment for a
day labor in that district
Quite recently some curious pipes
were found in the vast guano deposits
of Peru the date OF which is fixed by
scientists to whom they have been
submitted as co.equal with the famous
Peruvian pottery the eleventh or
Twelfth century.

just against the bottom stair and just
where the light falls full on it. which
caused her TO stop and examine il

CHAPTER VIII.
The Blood Smear on the Stair:

Inc DlOOu smear on inc OIulfS.
The superintendent OF the Sherris-
ford police was waiting outside the
front door when Colonel Bernage
alIghted from the fly which had con-
veyed himself and his niece from the
station.
We'll Mr.. Ives, have you any
news for me?" demanded the colonel.
Yes, sir; some news which. / dare
say. will surprise you considerably.
so! Come this way. Them" and
with that the colonel usherod Mr.
Ives into'a morning room and shut
the door behind them.
The two men seated themselves on OPP
posite sides OF the table. the superin-
tendent leaning forward with his arms
crossed and resting upon it.
Though as yet we have made no
arrest we have got evidence which
goes far toward proving who was the
guilty party" he began.
That is news indeedl Some
tramp or loafng vagabond. suppose.
who
"Oh, dear no sir. Some one very
well known to you. / am afraid you
will be greatly shocked when / tell
you that the evidence so far tends
very strongly TO the supposition that
the man who killed Captain Darvill
was none other than your protege Mr..
Roden Bosworth."
The colonel sank back in his chair
with hanging jaw and wide.staring
eyes. He tried to speak but his
voice died away in an inarticulate
gurgle. The superintendent got up
rs ii 10 summon assistance but the
colonel motioned TO him. and he ro-
sumed his seat, Give me moment
or two and | shall be all right he
murmured.
Mr.. Ives dlscreetly took out his
note book and began to consult its
contents.
Presently the colonel spoke Il

won't oh ect TO my laying before you
