somebody going in the direction of
Ratherby. But what is your theory?
don't understand at all Unjust say
everything Hardwick said seemed to
me to be beyond question: There were
the tracks to prove that the three had
walked together to the spot and that
the brothers had gone ON alone, and
every other circumstance pointed the
same way. Then, what possible motive
could anybody else about here have for
such crime, unless, indeed, IL were
one of the people defrauded by Sneathy's
late companies" f&
1.-The motive" said Hewitt, "is, 1

weird one; thing as of centuries ago.
Ask me no questions; l think you will
be little surprised before very long.
But come, we must move" And we
wended our pace along the lanc.1
The lane, by the bye, was hard and
firm. with scarcclya spot where n track
might be left except in places at the
sides, and at these places Hewitt never
turned into a by-road, and Mt the
turning Hewitt stopped and scrutinized
the ground closely. There was nothing
like recognizable footmarl to be seen,
but almost Immediately Hewitt turned
off ~ the right, and we continued our
brisk march without glance at the
road.
"How did you Judge which way to

Half a mile further on the road

pointed silently to n couple of small

the branch to the left and went on.

Hewitt observed. "He leaves his

We hurried forward with scarcely n
word. 1 was almost too bewildered by
what Hewitt had said and done to

where he has practiced his profession for 25 years. Judge Harmon Is 49 years of age and is of imposing appearance, being feet inches in height and of athletic build. His hair is tinged with gray, and iiI any aSSemblage he would attract attention.
 The new attorney general is the son of a preacher, the Rev. B. F. Harmon, who removed from New York state to Ohio ill the early fOrties. In Anderson township, near Cincinnati, Judson liar mon was born on Feb. 3, 1S46. He at tended the public schools, and was grad uated from Dennison university, a Bap- tist school at Granville, O., i'll 1866. Three years later he was graduated from the Cincinnati Law school, and entered immediately upon the practice of his profession.
 Judge Harmon entered political life in 1879 as leader of the Independent Republican, movement After the defeat of Greeley, he joined the Democracy, and has since been identified with that party. He ran for judge of the court of common pleas of Hamilton county in 1876, and after contest before the legislature Judge Joseph Coxe got the office. In 1S7S he was elected judge of the supe riOr court of Cincinnati. He was re- elected in 1883 for five years, but in 1887 resigned to become a member of the firm of Harmon, Colston, Goldsmith & Hoadly. This was when ex-Governor Hoadly and Edgar M. Johnston moved to New York. The judge has very lu crative practice, his firm being counsel for several railroads, notably the Balti- more and Ohio. Southwestern, Cincinnati Southern and Louisville and Nashville.
 The new cabinet officer resides with his family i'll beautiful home at 315 Kemper lane, on Walnut Hills, Cincin- nati. His wife, charming lady, who will grace Washington society, was a Miss Sibley, the daughter of Dr. Sibley of Hamilton, O. MT. and Mrs. Harmon have three daughters, the eldest the wife of Edmund Wright, Jr.. of Philadel- phia The second daughter. Elizabeth, is n charming girl, in her teens, and the youngest, Marjorie, is just II.

upward with the rising tide. Just be-
fore the tide turned the line holding
the foater side of the net to the an
chored side is drawn out. The buoys
instantly rise to the surface and the
trap is set. When the tide comes back
men are stationed above the net some
distance, and with poles and brush
beat the water and make noises of
various kinds. This is to keep the
great body of fish from pressing upon
the net at once, and as the fish are ex-i
ceedingly timid they rush back up
stream by the thousand. and will ac-
tually be left on the dry land by the
receding tide, so panic-striclken do they
become at the noises made by the men.
When the tide has gone out the dry
beds of the inlets will be piled with
tons upon tons of salmon or trout.
Not a salmon and trout. for both kinds
are never found in the same Inlet. In
one the trap may secure 30 or 100 tons
of salmon at a run, while in the next
estuary below the catch will be trout.

may be that if the latter had big fresh
water rivers to explore they would
not be massed so thiclzly along the
coast, but the channels they seek are
not sufficient to let them all in. If the
salmon supply of the world elsewhere
should ever become exhausted, it can
be replaced easily by the fish of those
great notheTn waters. A thousand big
vessels could take on cargoes of sal
mon and trout there every season

TEN THOUSAND SALMON.
Plan for Driving the Fish Out of
the Water in Canada.

New York Sun.
IF to see how the magnificent salmon
of the Pacific coast are caught almost
takes the heart out of man who loves
to cast the fly for these lordly fish, he
would lose it entirely if he ventured to
Ungavy Bay, in Upper Canada, and
saw how they capture salmon there.
The speaker was Findlay G.. Raynor,
who for many years was an agent of
the Hudson Bay company, and is now
president OF the new Rayror Oil COM
pany.
1T was only a few years that the
possibilities OF the south coast of IN
gavy Bay and Hudson Straits in the
way of salmon and lake trout fishing
We're discovered. and to say that they
are Kow being worked for all they are
worth is putting it mildly. The salmon
of that high latitude are undoubtedly
the finest in the world. They are fur
Their north than any other salmon
taken on this continent, and the lower
the tempera ture of the water the bet
ter the salmon are. The Restigouche
or any of the salmon of the st. Law
renee basin are far superior to the
Oregon salmon. and the Hudson Straits
salmon are just as much superior to the
Resugouche fish. Besides the salmon
the waters of the Hudson Strait coast
TEEN with a deep sea trout which has
not its like on the face of the globe.
But the method adequate for catch
ing these fish is just as peculiar as
the fish themselves are. and it is
doubtful if salmon or trout fishing is
done in the same way elsewhere. The
coast of Hudson Straits is indented by
thousands of small bays and estuaries.
and many rivers traverse it to the bay.
At low tide there is little water in any
of these inlets, but at high tide the
water rushes UP into them for long dis
tances. The tide rises twenty-five and
even fifty feet At high tide, in the
salmon and trout running seasons,
these fish follow with the water into
the bays and rivers as far as the tide
goes, and then swarm back with ii
when it GIBBS. I have seen the smaller
rivers, streams, or rather stream beds.
100 feet wide. actually choked from
shore to shore with the biggest salmon
a man ever saw struggling upward
with the tide.
1T is not more than eight or nine
years ago that the first attempt was
made to esta biish fisheries there on d
large scale. Drawing seines was i'm
possible, and the fish wheels of Oregon
were inpracticabIe. So a simple but
exceedingly effective trap was intro
duced It was not original with the
salmon fishermen, the idea being bor-
rowed from the porpoise fishermen of
Hudson bay. Immense nets are made
from the largest and strongest twine.
and of length and depth to suit the
inlet to be fshed. At low tide the nets
are set at the mouths Of the bays or
inIets, and the top of the net is hauled
to the bottom so as to offer no obstruc-
ton to the water or fish as they pass
