War Times Revived in Gera
mum Valley.

The other Eight Dry Jones,
of Petersburg, and the Senior, were
telling war time stories and anec-
dotes. Jones belonged to Artil-
lery and The Senior to In
fantry. For three hours it was "who
shall and who shall" Jones seeing that
the Senior was game, but had a bad
cold, told one of his best and topped it
off with the old war song:
"Manly's Battery is on the Line,
Look out. boys, Oh, how they shine"
That was one bean too many and the
Senior crawled under his blanket.
Business is fairly good again. We are
truly thankful that garden supplies are
exhausted, the cut worm, chinch and
potato bug have had their day, and now
it is the poor Grocer's inning.
We have lots and lots of good things
to SELL things we advertised last week
and new goods received this week.
Our newest clerk last week worked
has way past the Senior-Juni0r and the
Junior, down to the office: a colored
lady from the country wanted some
"hippin pins" He was instructed by
Mr.. liervey to say to her that we had
everything else in the grocery line, but

Ielp for it. He must do what he could
towards bringing the criminal to jus
tice.
The atmosphere y, rti ong-s room was
so close that WILDLY could hardly
breathe, and the perfume from the con-
servatory sickened him. The coroner
and his jury had arrived. Indeed, they
seemed to be waiting for him. He sat
down near window. He wondered
what they would ask him, and if he
could make intelligent replies.
The coroner oDal,eu proceedings
with a few words TO the jury, and N'hit-
by thought they stared at him furtively
whenever his name was mentioned.
Then his testimony was called for, and
Wildly felt that he was repeating word
| for vord the account he had given Hen
| dr:ci:s q short while before.
| Tie defective rose next and told in
careful de;a.I now the police had been
called to the telephone by WILDLY and
| first informed of the murder; how the
young man had met him and Welsh at
the door, and what was said about
whether the door was locked. He spoke
of the blood stain on Whidbp's hand
and produced the cuff with the drop of
blood on it. 1t was his opinion, he said.
| that the cuff could not have been worn
at the time it received the drop, nor for
at least half an hour afterwards, for,
as the jury could see, the blood had
dried in such a shape as to prove that
it had remained motionless for some
time. Mr.. WILDLY had said that the

Hello there was the reply.
"Well?" said WILDLY.
"You are one seventysix instead of
one seventy-fve, aren't you?"
Eyes. Did | say one seventyfive? ]
meant one seventysiX.'
"All right; there you are, Mr.. Whid-
by"
"Whidby!" thought the young man.
81 wonder how he knew my name. All,
he must have overheard me speaking to
the police"
The bell rang.
Hello said WILDLY. ''Is that police

"Yes. What is it?"
"This is Alfred WILDLY, 27s Leighton
avenue"

"That was only few minutes ago,
Mr.. WILDLY, and it is over two miles.
Capt Welsh has just left with Mr..
Minard Hendricks, the famous New
York detective, who happens to be in
town"
"Ah, see," said WILDLY; ''the time
drags with me, you know. 1 am all
alone"
81 understand. Good-by."
'Good-by."
The young man turned and walked
round the bed for another look at
Strong's face. Surely, he thought, that
weird smile and the twinkle in the dead
mans eyes were the most remarkable
things ever connected with a murder
case. He could not bear to look at the
face, so he went into his own room. He
wondered what had caused him to over
sleep. He went to his bed and smelt
the pillows to zee if he could detect
traces of chloroform. He had decided
that he could not have been drugged,
when the bell of a passing car caught,
his ear. He knew that the car had
stopped in front of the house by the
whirring, chromatic sound as it start
ed on again. Then he heard steps on
the veranda and went to the door.

CHAPTER II.

1t was Capt. Welsh. the chief of po-
lice, and Mr. Minard Hendricks, the de-
tective from New York. The latter
scarcely nodded when he was intro
duced 10 WILDLY. His sharp, gray eyes,
under massive, Shaggy brows, rested on
the key which he had just heard WILDLY
turn in the lock.
Has 10 one been out at this door
this morning?" he asked, abruptly.
NO stammered Whidby-"yes; that
is, came to answer the ring of news
boy moment ago"
And you locked the door after he
left?"
YES"
'Why did you Go ?" The detectives
eyes were rowing about the veranda, hall
and yard. but his tone sounded sharp
and to the point. WILDLY felt that he
was waiting for reply.
Il don't know replied the young
man, helplessly. 81 suppose | was ex-
cited, and it seemed to me that it would
be best to keep curious people out till
you came"
Certainly" replied Capt. Welsh; but
the detective went on with a frown:
"Was the door unlocked when you
opened it for the newsboy?"
'I-I'm afraid 1 can't remember an
swered WILDLY.
THAT is unfortunate" said Hendricks.
"Where is the body?'
This way replied WILDLY. 1.-THE
second door on the right
The detective opened the door, and
the others followed him to the bed.
He looked long and silently at the face
of the dead man; then he said; HAS
anyone touched this sheet since you dis
covered the murder?"
Il drew it down to see where he was
wounded. If had thought"
NO matter" replied the detective,
and he lifted the sheet and examined the
cash. Then he replaced it carefully,
and asked: "How was the sheet ar
ranged when you found him?"
Just as it is now, think" said Whid-
by. Just as if the murderer had re-
placed it with both hands, one on each
side, as you did"
Stand where you are Hendricks
suddenly ordered. He raised the VIM
dow-shade, went down on his hands and
knees. and made a minute examination
of tine carpet. TEen he rose and sur
geyed'the room. "Where did you sleep?'
he asked.
WILDLY pointed to the portiere. "ln
! that ROOM"
The detective drew the heavy cur
tains aside.
"You came through here this morn
ing?" he asked.
"Yes."
| Hendricks looked at Whidby's bed.
"Slept later than usual this morning,
eh?" he asked.
''Yes; 1 don't know what was the
matter with me. I felt heavy-headed
and dizzy when awoke."
Capt. Welsh nodded knowingly, but
said nothing.
/ "You telephoned as soon as you dis

"Yes."
''Where do you get your meals?"
''Here, usually; but today the cook
is away on leave of absence. Uncle and
were going over to the Randolph, the
restaurant on the corner, for our meals
till she returned"
Have you eaten anything this morn
ing?'
"No."
"Well, you'd better go; We'll look
after everything and telephone the cor
oner"
"All right" replied WILDLY. He
turned to the wash-stand and filled
basin from a pitcher of water. In
my excitement l forgot to wash my
face and hands"
"Stop!' cried Hendricks, and he
caught Whidby's arm as his hands were
you've stained your fingers somehow"
The young man stared at his right
hand in surprise. There was a faint red
smudge on the thumb and fingers.
"Why," he said, Il don't see how it
could have got there, unless | Won
der if WILDLY turned quickly into
the other room and bent over Strong's
bed. "Ah!" he cried, to the others.
See! l must have got it from the cor
ner of the sheet when | put it back;
you see there is blood on the under
side"
The detective had followed WILDLY
no further than the portiere, where he
stood indiflereutly watching the young
mans movements.
YES, from the sheet or this curtain"
he replied, pointing to an almost in
visible spot of blood on the portiere.
"Then the fellow must have been in
my room, too,'' said WILDLY, wonder
ingly.

Hendricks remarked.
The young man stared at the detect
i've curiouslv as he returned to the
washstand and took off his coat.
Look" he cried to him, "here is some

Il noticed that" replied the detect,
i've. "It is a drop of blood. Perhaps
you had better detach the cuff and give
il to me. You did not sleep in that
shirt?"
NO" WILDLY gave him the cuff.
where did you lay the shirt last
night when you took it off ?"
"Gn that chair near my bed,' an
swered WILDLY.
THAT is all you can do for u.s. said
Hendricks. You'd better go to break
fast"
WILDLY crossed the street and en-
took seat at the table farthest from
the door and ordered some eggs, coffee,
rolls and butter; but he found that he
had no appetite, and he drank his cof-
fee when it was so hot that it burnt
his lips. Then he bought newspaper
and sat for ten minutes gazing at it alb
sently.
On his return home he found the yard
filled with a crowd of curious people.
Some of them stood on the veranda
near the windows. The door was closed.
WILDLY tried the knob, but it was
locked. Turning, he saw Matthews COM
ing round the corner of the house.
