CHAPTER XVI.
The sleuth hounds of the law were in
full cry upon aSibley Fairbanks trail.
The reward of five thousand dollars,
which was still waiting for a claimant,
acted as permanent spur to a few tire
less spirits on the detective force. They
had at last got hold of positive clew,
which they proceeded to unravel with
patient skill. This clew was a seal with
the impress of a martlet upon it, and it
was attached to three inches of broken
gold chain of fine workmanship.
Day by day, hour by hour, the coil Of
evidence heightened and strengthened,
until, to the one faithful heart that
chung to him through good and evil re-
port, his case looked hopeless indeed.
Given the established facts that Eu-
gene Norcross' wife at an earlier stage
of her career had been Sibley Fair
banks wife. that their connubial infe-
licity had been even greater than that
of average yoke mates, that Fairbanks
failure to support his wife properly had
led to a temporary separation, that dur
ing that separation she had taken steps
to have her marriage declared null and
void, that subsequently she had reap
peared in society as Eugene Norcross'
splendor loving and dashing wife, that
at about the same period of time Fair
banks returned to the city, in improved
circumstances, but naturally consumed
with a jealous hatred of the woman
who had tossed him aside like ,misfit-
ting glove, and the groundwork of the
tragedy was complete.

News was brought to the citizens
down town that the attempt to carry

the fact that the trouble had only just
begun they did not disperse, but con-

Economy of Good Roads,

At recent meeting of the Farmers
Club of the American Institute held in
New York c. L. Allen, a Long Island
farmer, gave the following testimony:
He stated that Notwithstanding their
strong objections made at the time the
new Jamaica road was built the farm
ers, who had to pay the tax, now felt
satisfied that the move had been most
wise one. Farm wagons loaded with
produce for the New York market now
hauled loads of three tons where for
merly over the old roads they could hard
1y put on half that much, and the three
tons were now easier to haul than the
ton and a half had been-a state of af-
fairs that was sufficiently proved by the
fact that the farmers had always been
compelled to send a ''tow' team over a
great part of the old roads, whereas now
they sent their produce right through
with one team.

cracking jokes and telling funny stories.
After an interval of rest one of their
number sprang to his feet and shouted:

The offer was accepted, and there was

to deafen the hearers. The last man
then stood in the ring, and-did nothing.
After five minutes silence he perceived
that his companions were growing i'm
