Improve Their system.
Carbondale Is proud of her water sys-
TEN and has good reason to be 30, for
the city has the purest and best water
supply in this part Of the state.
The Crystal Lake Water company
have made many Improvements In the
past few years and contemplate more
in the near future. They will probably
increase the supply SO that the severest
drought will have no effect here. With
this purpose In view Engineer Barton,
OF Binghamton. has been at work near
the vicinity Of BrOwnell's swamp. bOr-
ing for water. Several holes have been
sunk and water of the purest quality
has been found. There seems to be no
diminuition In the supply as holes bored
last summer still continue to spurt. At
present Mr.. Barton is boring an eight
inch hole and this will yield a large
quantity Of water.
Another project which the company
has in view Is the building of a large
supply dam. This will probably be To-
Gated just above No. culm pile in the
deep ravine where large quantity Of
water can be stored. This will be done
should the artesian wells prove fall
ures.

this communication in CIPHER. They
knew almost beyond a doubt that Mar
tin Russell had been foully murdered.
| and they believed that Lawyer Wing
field had employed this desperate vag-
abond to assassinate him, in order that
| he, Wingfield, might become the only
surviving heir, to the the legacy OF
thirty-nine thousand dollars, that had
been bequeathed them jointly, by their
uncle Jethro Scales.
Here was motive, indeed, and Wing
! field was known to them as an unscru-
pulous man, especially bold in plan
ming for others to execute. Whilst this
was their confident belief, it was by
no means clear to them, that they could
prove that a murder had really been
committed; certainly it was not in their
power at present, to show the manner
in which the cruel deed had been done.
There was an impenetrable mystery
about this; it would require an addi
tional autopsy, if it could be shown
at all.
Hence. Colonel Montague remarked
that it would be necessary for the Doc
tor and himself to return to the city
on that night.
They both felt that they had task
before them that would tax to the ut
mos powers Of the most experienced OF
detectives. Then men they had TO
deal with, we're no ordinary criminals;
and to fathem the depths Of their plots
would require the exercise Of an intel
ligence equal in subtlety to the mind
that had planned the inexplicable muir

| unnOticed save. to the closest observa-
ton, was but characteristic of the dark
mind that had planned the mysterious
murder
The old surgeon, DIR. Hooper, with all
his long and varied experience, was
non-plussed.
How is it possible" he asked, "to kill
a man so as TO leave no marks of VIC
lence on his person; no poison in his
stomach; no expression of pain on his
countenace-to produce an instantane-
GUS and painless death, as if from the
visitation Of Providence?"
This had been done in the case Of
Martin Russell. They felt assured that
they knew, from the vague cipher,
whom it was that had perpetrated the
foul deed, and also they knew, who had
instigated the crime.
How were they now to fasten the
guilt upon them?
1t was necessary first to discover how
the act had been committed, and the
implement or means employed, that
had bereft Martin Russell of his life,
and had left him as if apparently en-
joying natural and painless sleep.
During all the subsequent. weary
days of their search, the Doctor and
Montague were ever propounding to
themselves the single query: "How
and by what means, did Gyp Dyce kill
Martin Russell?"

Then after he had congratulated the
Doctor, on having witnessed so much
of the sport. he turned his vehicle
around, and drove slowly back toward
the village.
AS they logged along it so happened
that they were Overtaken by Lawyer
Wingfeld, mounted on his fat cob.
How are you, Doctor? This is a
fine day for sport, was his salutation
as he rode up.
To this the Doctor gave assent by a
stiff nod Wingfield nothing abashed
by his cool reception, began TO dilate
on the incidents of the chase. The
Doctor bluntly stopped his harrangue
by the query: "Wingfield, you heard
the verdict of the coroner's inquest in
the case of Martin Russell before leay-
ing town."
"Of course; I was a witness in the
case" was the reply. They returned
as their verdict that he had died Of
apOplexy; there was nothing else to
do; the physicians all said he died Of
apOpleXy."
Il did not say so"
"Oh, no. Doctor, you testified that
you did not know of what ne died"

At this rejoinder a scowl darkened

I'd shock them if got out OF a tub
while ladies were In sight.
Il had just run up TO Toxic to see
man In the Imperial university. He
wasn't at home. but young student
who was taking care Of the place,
greeted me most Hospitality. He said:

He made noble beginning, | assure
you. He taught me chopsticks so well

Then he fed me with seaWeed ana raw

finally he boiled me.

was out on the lawn. 1t was an oval ar
rangement, about as high as it was
long. and foot longer than it was
wide. In one end it had stove pipe
running. down through the bottom and
coming up just even with the rim OF the
tub. At the lower end of the pipe was
a CRATE that held a charcoal fire which
heated the water. The idea is TO get in
the tub when the water Is warmed and
sit there while the temperature gradu-
ally rises It's a good scheme, / found
out afterward.
