fees and paid their clerk hire from
their own salaries was the lest meth
Cd; the only notification needed be-
ing that In the large. counties the
maximum amount of salary could DO.
limited by lump sum, or 4 per cent
age of the gross amount IL fees be
handed over to the county.
AS to the amount Of salary paid
due care and thought should be given
to the facts that In nearly every coun-
ty office, large peculnary responsibili-
ty is assumed by the incumbents, and
1t IS not only for their labor that q
salary is given, but also to recompense
them for risks taken. No man who
holds q county Office for a term or
more, can feel quite easy in his mind,
for years afterward, for fear that
some possible error OF judgement,
some unintentional omission or com.
mission, may come up and for which
he and his bondsmen are responsible.
The county should pay Its oncers
good salaries and the amount should
be gauged by salaries paid to similar
of1cials employed by mercantile and
other corporations.
But we suggest that the present
method or rather want Of method 10
making different basis on which to
tix the salary of each officer is absurd.
The register and treasurer have a fix.
ed sum based on population In differ
ent counties. The. auditors salary is
based on q percentage Of total assess
ment. The clerk of courts is based
ona a percentage Of population and SO
Is that of the county Judge. The
county superintendent gets per diem
and mileage and the sheriff gets all
his fees. Perhaps we hayn't got
these all exact, but near enough for
the general truth.
Ii salaries are to be based on the
size of the county, a uniform system
for all officers should be adopted, and
instead of the absurdity OF trying to
figure on q population counted last in.
1880, and trying to allow for growth
by an arbitrary ''five per cent per
year" for four years, it would be much
more sensible and exact to use the
last annual assessment as i basis.

despite his disguise he had been able to
recognize Marvel himself. Moreover,
he now felt satisfied that Marvel had
lied when he said that he had thrown
his disguise into the river, and he even
hoped to find some trace Of it at the old
house.
Promptly at 6 Burrows was called,
and in very little time he was ready
to start Weston gave him full direc-
tions as to how to find Marvel's house.
After walking about mile beyond
the more populous portion Of the town
Burrows reached his destination, which
he readily recognized from Weston's de-
scription. The house itself could barely
be seen from the road. It was in the
midst Of a number Of large trees. and
besides, as no care had been given to
the place in years, it was surrounded
by dense shrubbery and covered with
vines. Thus, everything about it being
green, it would scarcely have attracted
the attention Of a casual observer. Bur-
rows thought it very good retreat for
man anxious to avoid the scrutiny OF
his fellows and entered more than ever
satisfied that some important develop
ments awaited his examination Of the
interior.
Pushing open the door, which moved
noiselessly on its hinges, despite the
dilapidation everywhere apparent, he

How to Wash Black Dress Goods.

Henrietta, cashmere, serge and such
black goods, if of a good quality, well
repay one for all the cleaning given
them. Remove the grease spots thor
oughly from the goods; then wash in
warm soapsuds, using a pure, not
strong, soap, in which dissolve borax at
the rate of a teaspoonful to two quarts
of water. Rinse in very blue water and
iron on the wrong side while damp with
a moderate iron. Do not rub the goods
on washboard, but souse them up and
down and wiring very gently go as not
to pull or twist the fabric.

A CONFLICT OF EVIDENCE.
BY RODRIGUES OTTOLENGUI.
5 Copyright, 1897, by G. P. Putnam's Sons
CHAPTER KILL
Author of "An Artist In Crime"
THE STATION AGENTS CLEw.

THE STATION AGENTS CLEW.
Tom Burrows had naturally taken no
active part in the coroner's inquest. He
was but an assistant to Mr.. Barnes, and
consequently bound to remain quiet,
lest, by intruding, he should interfere
with the older detectives plans, for,
while the district attorney ostensibly
conducted the examination of the wit
nesses, Burrows very we'll understood
that he was but following the sugges-
tions of Mr.. Barnes.
When Marvel was testifying, however,
he could not resist the desire to have
him interrogated as to whether he had
worn a disguise, and so had sent up his
written suggestion. When Mr.. Tupper
brought out the admission that dis
guise practically similar to the one de-
scribed by the station agent had been
used by Marvel, Burrows decided that
there was no doubt as to the identity OF
his man. He more than ever determined
to follow up this clew alone.
To do this he knew that he must be
cautious. He was too well acquainted
with the sagacity Of Mr.. Barnes not to
realize the fact that he must have
aroused suspicion by his action in send
ing his question to the district attorney.
He consequently decided 10 avoid MI.
Barnes at the conclusion of the inquest,
and so escape cateohising. In this the
sensational close of the proceedings as
sisted him, so that it was not difficult
to slip away unobserved. Thus, when
Mr.. Barnes looked for him, he was al
ready on his way to Lee Depot, bent
upon taking the same train which had
carried the mysterious stranger away
from Lee OH the night of the murder.
Reaching the station, he found MIR.
Skene, and without preamble he iap-
preached his subject.
''Do you remember, MI. Skene, "
said he, THAT you gave me hint 'as to
the identity of the man who killed Mr..
Lewis?"
"Do I remember?" CALCULATED Mr..
Skene in an angry tone. "Do | remem-
ber? Well, darn me ef you ain t the
checklist critter I've seen meanderin
down that road"
"Why, what is the matter?" asked
Burrows, taken aback.
Matter? Matter enough. Look
a-here, you gol darned eejiot. Why ain t
you done nothin? Why didn't yon call
