AS he sauntered of down the road to-
ward the station Burrows wondered
whether he would really keep the story
to himself. He doubted it; but, as much
as he should have liked to start in pur-
suit of this strange visitor of the night
previous, he scarcely cared to leave be-
fore the return Of his superior.
He had been standing in the road,
near the main gate, during his conver
sation with the station agent, and now,
tuning toward the house, he saw a
young woman coming out. He recog-
nized her as one who he had supposed
was a servant, from the fact that he had
Seen her cooking in the kitchen while
the inquest was started. He decided to
question her, and as she came out and
was passing him he said:
Pardon me, but I wish to say few
words to you %
The woman faced him in silence and
waited for him to speak.

"Now will you tell me what you
know about what occurred last night
and whether you heard any pistol shot?'
''No, won't, and that's fiat ;"
Before he recovered from his surprise
at the asperity of her reply she abrupt
ly turned from him and proceeded along
the road. He looked after her wonder
ingly. Was it possible that this woman
held the key to the situation? If so, 1t
became most puzzling, from the fact
that it did not seem to fit any theory as

PENSION CASES AFFECTED.
Recent Rulings by Assistant Secre
tary Davis.

Many pension cases are affected by the
following rulings, which have just been
made by Assistant Secretary of the In
terror Webster Davis:
In the claim Of Francis Frank of Com
pany H, 10th Michigan Infantry. the de-
partment holds that a claimant who has
attained the age of sixty-five years shall
be deemed entitled to at least the minimum
rate Of pension, So. unless the evidence dis
closes unusual vigor and ability for the
performance Of manual labor in one of
that age. Previously 1t was necessary to
show special infirmity before a pension
could be granted at the age Of sixty-five
Years.
In the case Of Edward Moore Of the 14th
Independent Battery. Ohio Light Artillery,
this policy is laid down:
when 1t shall be shown that the pen
sioners right to have the pension inure
wholly to his benefit is being abridged or
forfeited by the malfeasance of the guard
Ian, and that the appointing court will not
administer relief, then the commissioner Of
pensions would be legally authorized to
refuse payment to the guardian and If
need be to pay The pensioner himself"

Diet of Grass,

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Horses and COWS eat grass. and so do
sheep and many other animals, but it il not
generally presumed that people do. How
ever, William Gardner. a Mississippi COL
ored man, has been living on grass and
hogs fat for several days. so he says.
Friday afternoon Gardner was seen nicL-
ing handIrls OF grass and jamping 1t into
his mouth, after which he calmly chewea
IL IN a very contented and self-sa tistied
manner. Several persons saw him. and he
ran down the street fast as the diIapi
dated condition Of his shoes would hermit
A crowd of two hundred persons were soon
following him. and he finally ran into the
arms OF Policeman Britton. He said that
ne mad no place to go and was locked I'M
on the charge Of vagrancy.
He told tine officers he had lived on prs ss
Tor several days and was beginning to like
the diet, as 1t was cheap and agreed with
him. The only objection he had to it was
that no one would pick 1t for him or place
II In his mouth. He said he had been
chased out Of several cities and came to
Cleveland. as he thought it good place.
In the police court he said he wanted tn

In the south. Judge Fielder gave him
twenty-four hours to leave the city. and

station Is any criterion he Is even now
