CHAPTER III.
SEEKING FOR CLEWS.

SEEhi>0 rOft ClEWS.
Left to themselves, the two detectives
remained silent until they heard the
front door shut by the squire as he and
Lewis went out. Then Mr.. Barnes said:
We'll, Tom, you are i'm luck-a mys-
terious murder, which will, in my judg-
ment, require much skill to discover the
truth. Come, now, tell me where you
would begin?"
II have found clew already" uui-
city remarked Burrows.
"Good!' said Mr.. Barnes, we'll
pleased at his pupils shrewdness.
THAT is better than I expected. What
is it?'
II think that the murderer fred from
the outside through this window. :"
Burrows indicated window opening
on the lawn to the east. "You see that
there is hole through the center pane.
That 1T is of recent origin is evidenced
by the broken glass on the carpet, which
also shows that the bullet came from
without, since the pieces have fallen
inward"
Very well reasoned, Tom, as far as
viz 'ho anu origin or the shot 60.
but you have jumped to one conclusion
not as yet warranted. Mr.. Barnes
went to the window and examined il
closely. "You started by saying lust
now that the murderer fired from ont
side. That is where you have gone be-
yond your evidence. This pane of glass
with that hole and the fragments ON
the floor probably attest the passage of
a bullet, but there is nothing as vet to
show that said bullet was fred by the
murderer
why, who else could have fred it?"
Il have heard that physicians make a
diagnosis sometimes by exclusion, but
1t is dangerous plan for a detective.
Look again, and you will note that Il ia

appreciating the fact that the bust
ness before them was very serious, the
three men entered the parlor quite
gravely. AS they did so Lewis, who was
bending over the body, rose and said in
low voice:
"Gentlemen, my father has been
murdered. " The squire sank into the
nearest chair. His last hope was gone.
Lewis continued: II repeat he has been
murdered. There is bullet hole in his
left side, where it is almost impossible
for him to have shot himself; therefore
suicide is out of the question.
At the words bullet hole" Mr..
Barnes became all attention. Here was
something tangible. Here was real evil
dence. The position Of the wound, too,
that was quite important, and Lewis
conclusion seemed logical enough. But
he had used the correct words when he
said "almost impossible. Mr.. Barnes
was "a careful man i'll forming opinions,
and experience had taught him that the
seemingly impossible often occurs.
Still, in the line Of thought suggested
by Lewis words, he turned to Squire
Olney:
"Can you tell us whether your friend
was left handed?"
eyes, am sure he was not"
"Then it is probable that he was shot
by some other party than himself.
Squire, the affair is now serious. 1t be-
comes our duty to try to find the guilty
party"
At the word duty" the squire recov-
cred himself instantly and was all at
tention. Mr.. Barnes continued:
1.-THE coroner should be notified at
once"
Il am the coroner Of the county,"
replied the squire. "In this town we
have not needed such an officer within

the memory of man. However, in this
instance the duty devolves upon me.
Therefore l am in charge of the case.
Mr.. Barnes, as you came down to serve
me in matter now at rest l suppose
you can place yourself at my disposal
and assist in finding the murderer
Certainly" replied Mr.. Barnes. II
will simply notify the chief of the facts,
and he will grant me more time than
should have asked for before. Do you
object to my having Mr.. Burrows as
my assistant"
"Of course not. want to see You
commence your work at once. No time
is TO be lost. / may have been anxious
to hush up the other matter, but am
alive 10 the seriousness of this. Who
ever he may be and at whatever cost the
murderer must be found and brought to
justice"
VERY well, sir. From this moment
we act under your orders AS you say,
no time must be lost. The murderer has
several hours start of us now, and we
must catch up our end of the trail as
quickly as possible. The first thing to
be done is to examine the room and
premises infinitely for clews. there
fore suggest that you and Mr.. Lewis
leave us to work alone while you sum-
mon men to form your jury"

on it at once. Come, Mr.. Lewis, a walk

shock which you have sustained" TAX

warrant for him. As was once jus.
tice of the peace he knew that under
stand such matters. l tried to dissuade
him from his purpose, but he was de-
termined to have Marvel arrested for
assault with intent to kill. He procured
the warrant, but thus far Marvel has
kept out of the way. After several more
unsuccessful attempts to persuade Lewis
to abandon his object was obliged to
give up the task. Then the continued
absence of young Marvel began to worry
me, and / feared that he might return
and kill Lewis. Therefore have decid-
ed that it will be best to find him be-
fore any such calamity can occur, this
as much for his sake as for the safety of
Lewis. So l have sent for you, Mr..
Barnes, taking step of which Lewis is
ignorant. And now may ask you
what in your Judgment will be the
chance of experimenting Marvel?"
"Oh, said Mr.. Barnes, "there will
be no difficulty in finding him. l do
not think he is hiding from the law. If
at all, it is from the disgrace which he
fancies that Mr.. Lewis has cast upon
him. But if he really loves Miss Lewis
the thing is simple. We have but to
watch her. He ~ sure TO seek an inter.
view sooner or larer.
"There," said the squire admiringly;
"see how quickly you get at it. Ishould
never have thought of such mode of
proceeding. You are right, too, as to
your first conjecture. Marvel is high
spirited, and / should not be surprised
If he surrenders as soon as he learns
that he is wanted. That is why / have
been worried by his disappearance. But
here we are at the farm"
The house was an elegant frame
building of the Queen Anne style of
architecture. The grounds were on the
south side of the road, 30 that the dwell
ing faced the north. 1t was recessed
about 80 feet from picket fence, and
the party entered through neat, paint
ed gate, a brick paved walk leading
them up to the main door. This was
standing invitingly open. Squire Olney

birds
What do you mean by that?' fairly
screamed Walter, trembling with bare
ly suppressed anger.
"'What do mean? retorted Lewis,
speaking rapidly and as though actuated
by intense hatred. Il mean that your
uncle, the man whose vile name you
bear, is a convict and that he caused
the death Of an innocent girl.
with "a wild cry of rage Marvel drew
his pistol, which he had reloaded aftev
the shooting match, and fired at Lewis.
The sequence of events had been SO
startling and so rapid that none Of us
made move to save Lewis except Vir-
gle, who exhibited her usual presence
of mind. With quick upward motion
of her hand she diverted her lovers
aim so that the ball went into the air.
Having thus saved the life of her adopt
ed father, she turned to Marvel and said
the single word Go. Walter looked at
her q moment with despair upon his
face; then, as she made 10 answer to
his mute appeal, he threw his weapon
from him and rushed from the place,
threatening Lewis with his vengeance.
He had scarcely departed when Luz
cas- pushed through the surrounding
circle aud upbraided Lewis for what
had occurred. Lewis, by this time be-
side himself with rage, ordered Lucas
to leave the premises, and threatened to
set his dog upon him if he would not
do so, or if he ever should return. Lu-

alice is usually quiet girl, but she
is somewhat hysterical, and as the two

other her sweetheart she was much
overweight. She and Lucas left stimuli

ALL HAIL, HAWAII

The treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii has been signed and will un-
doubtedly be ratified by the Senate
The introduction of the Hawaiian Is
lands into our American political sys-
TEN is therefore assured Thus will
be accomplished a scheme of annex
alton which was made a conspicuous
feature of Democratic policy long ago,
and would already have been carried
out if it had not been for the obstruc
ton of the un-Democratic Cleveland
Administration. Mr.. Cleveland, with
a perversity and a defiance of Demo
cratic tradition which exceeded even
the bounds of impudence, broke
through the rule of continuity in our
diplomatic policy, and withdrew from
the Senate treaty for the annexation
of Hawaii framed by his predecessor.
He withdrew it in order to bring a.
bout the overthrow of the Hawaiian
republic;and to restore to her barbarous
throne monstrous queen! 1t was
an episode in our history which
would have been wholly infamous if
it had not also been ludicrous. Truer
Americanism now dominates the
White House, and the day approaches
when with joyful and proud acclaim
we shall welcome Hawaii as an ont
post of American power and CIVILIZATION
in the Pacific. All hail, Hawaii! All
honor to President Mckinley New

HE WEEK,

The retarding influence of cold and
unreasonable weather has passed. The
gain in business which in spite of it
was seen week ago has become clear
er to all. As no genuine improve
ment ever begins with an uplifting of
prices before the producing force has
become fairly employed, this does not,
and the buyir 6 of 1000 bales of Aus
tralian wool by one Boston house, and
100000 tons pig iron by Wall street
operator, and advancing prices for
stocks, are only proof that the actual
conditions are understood by some
clpable men. There is evidence
of gradually enlarging business
in every important department, more
establishments have been set to
work and more hands employed, and
while prudence still binders specula-
tive excesses the progress toward bet
ter things is unchecked. Reports
from the various cities this week show
very general progress, and con-
tinuing large distribution through re-
tail trade.-Dun's Review.

The Statesman says: Joseph Per-
rault has returned from his eastern
trip. He has not brought any news
concerning the distribution of federal
patronage in Idaho but he does mar.
rate very interesting story of colony
enterprise he learned of while in
Chicago.
Through ]. E. Rounsevelle Mr.. Per
rault was introduced to William 6.
Pomeroy, one of the foremost labor
leaders of that city. Mr. Pomeroy is
engaged in an effort to found a colony
in some western state and he wished
to see Mr.. Perrault to learn from him
of the advantages offered by Idaho. A
meeting was arranged for last Tuesday
and Mr.. Perrault enlisted the assist
ance of Judge Clagett in presenting
the subject to those assembled. Mr..
Rounsvelle also attended. There were
two or three hundred leaders of various
organizations present.
Judge Clagett made a most interest
ing address, explaining in detail the
special advantages of this section. His
talk made great impression upon the
minds of the audience. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Perrault, who supple
mented the judges statements with
more detailed information upon some
points. Mr.. Pomeroy was anxious to
learn everything of a practical charac-
ter about Idaho, and the ground was
very fully covered by the two ad.
dresses.
GAS result of the meeting the lead
ers of the colony movement stated they
would send committee here to look
over the field. The purpose is to colon
ice number of working mems families
on a plan that is very similar to that
of the New Plymouth Colony Men
holding positions will pay regular
monthly sums to get the colony started.
The land is to be held in 2O.acre plots
and there is to be a central townsite
where the home of all the colonists will
be established. 1t is desired to secure
tract four miles square. California
was originally selected as the state
where the colony should be located but
the prices of land there were found to
be too high"

KILLED BY A FALLING TREE.


The Malad Enterprise, Weston, cor.
respondent reports the following:
Avery distressing accident happened
to a young man living north of Yves.
ton last Thursday. Mr.. John Dees
and his son William of Dayton, went
up Cottonwood after logs. In hunt
ing after suitable trees they found
one that had lodged in another. The
young man suggested they cut one
down and secure both. Mr.. Dees
thought 1t very dangerous and said so;
but the expostulations William pre-
vailed over the better judgment of
the father and they set to work.
When the standing tree was nearly
chopped off, Mr.. Dees told his son To
safe distance. The father continued
cutting until the tree began falling
when he ran out of the way. Upon
returning to look for the boy he could
not be seen; later he was found under
the tree dead: a broken limb having
struck him in the back of the head,
and penetrating the brain. Mr.. Dees
had to go ten miles to the mill for as
sistance. He was brought home to
his heart broken mother and buried at
Weston Friday evening.
