They passed from room to room, find

pictures and various relics which he
thought might be interesting, and

eyes like hawk. AS they passed on.
ward his face became less radiant; a
erown of WEAKNESS and disappoint-
ment began to cloud his brow. At
length the whole of the castle had been
examined, and the two men began TO
descend the quaint oaken stairs. Caus-
sidiere, lingering as if in no haste to

impatiently about him.
Presently they passed the half open
door of kind of boudoir. Caussldiere,
who had looked keenly in, paused sud-
denly.
Surely" he said, II know that facet"
The old man went forward and
pushed open the door, and the French
man, following closely behind him, en-
tered the room and stood thoughtfully
regarding the object which had arrest
ed his attention. 1t was a picture. a
good sized painting, which hung above
the mantelpiece.
"'Tis Marjorie Annan," explained the
old man, foster daughter to the minis

"Aweel, aweel, you should see it; but
the press is locked and Mysie has the
key"
You could not get it, l suppose
cay, could get it" returned Sandie
still under the influence of the French
mans gold. "Bide awhile and you
shall see."
He shuffled off, leaving the French
man alone.
The moment he was gone Caussi-
diere's face and manner underwent a
complete change. He sprang from the
room, as it were, with cat-like fury
turned over papers, opened drawers
ransacking everything completely. Al
last he came upon drawer which
would not open; it was in writing

at home; he pressed hidden spring

Caussidiere was rapidly going over thu
papers which it contained.
Suddenly he started, drew forth
paper, opened, and read it. A CLEAN O
light passed over his face. He folded
the paper, thrust it into the innel
pocket of his coat and closed the draw

WAYS OF THE BLUE CRAB.
Some of Its Peculiarities as Observed at
New Works. Aquarium.

Some Of Its Peculiarities as Observed at
New Works Aquarium.
While the blue crab is not commonly
thought of as swimmer and does in
fact spend the greater part of it's time
on tho bottom, yet it can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim at
a very fair rate of speed. 1t swims end
wise and when swimming it carries
one big claw thrown forward and bent
back at the middle joint, making a
point projecting at that end of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. If it changes direc-
ton, it crooks the claw it had been car
rying straight and lets the other 90
free. If 1t sustains itself in the water
without progressing, it carries its big
claws in front of itself as it would nat
urally do under ordinary circumstances
on the bottom, but it has to keep its
little claws in motion to sustain itself,
and in swimming the little claws are
kept actively at work Besides making
good degree of progress through the
water in swimming the blue crab can
change its course or swim to higher
or lower level with facility. When
frightened, the blue crab moves off side
ways, but when moving about at home
and undisturbed it may move straight
forward. Its body may be inclined at
any angle to the line of progress, but
it's motion still be forward, the big
claws carried crooked around in front
It may be seen moving thus in one of
the larger tanks at the aquarium, in
which there are blue crabs, Holsters and
other things. The temperature of the
water now just suits the crustaceans
and they are very lively. Blue crabs
may be seen swimming here, and also
walking about, stepping down from
stones that are as high as they them
selves are wide with perfect dignity, if
not grace of manner, and walking or
carrying their claws before them

was about two years ago. Never saw OF

to Ida Hepp. Knew nothing about the
child till after it was found. Never told
Mrs. Hebel that Arthur didn't want me
to come to the trial or that he didn't
want me to tell what l knew. Arthur
never told me such thing. Jones told
me the best way for me to get out was
to tell what ] knew. Told Mrs. Hebel
| did not want to go to the trial last
spring.
H. S. Foulk testified that on March 4
he was in town and saw Arthur Palmer
from about till about 10 O'Clock. Don't
know if he had been out of town that
day. Started to Kansas City March 5,
and it was the evening before that I saw
him. Walked around town with him
that evening.
Mrs. Hattie Palmer recalled said she
never had conversation with Mrs. Hebef
about her seeing the buckskin team, or
with Ralph Robson.
II. S. Foulk recalled said he was with
Palmer nearly every day for two months
when | was in town. Have taken inter
est in this case. Don't believe Palmer
is guilty. Have been corresponding
with him in Oklahoma about it. Palmer
said to tell Hamp that if he wanted him
palmer in that case he would be there.
This was when we heard some connected
Palmer with the affair. Told Myers and
Gray about this. Never concealed
Palmers whereabouts. Don't think
Palmer had mustacke last March.
Palmer recalled said he did not wear
mustache in last March Never wore
mustache. Had light drab overcoat
and heavy overcoat.
A. NJ. Walker was called on part of
state and said he saw Cunningham and
Palmer sitting and talking together in
Ben Monks sometime last February or
March. On cross examination said
they were sitting together. Don't know
if they were talking together or not
Ben Monk on part of state said Gun
ningham and Palmer played pool to-
gether in his place this spring. Saw
them once or twice talking together in
February or March. Were sitting close
together. Could not swear he heard
them talking together.
At this time Mrs. Palmer was dis
missed and court adjourned to Friday
at 9 a. M, to continue the case as to
Mr.. Palmer.

The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1645 in
Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1862 in London
and 1894 in Leipsio. From the first,
however, the conventional oriental cof-
fee cup, without stem or handle, was
little used, and in Germany not at all.
The Chinese teacup was used for tea,
coffee and chocolate as we'll. Specimens
of porcelain were undoubtedly intro
duced into Europe in the middle ages,
yet not till the sixteenth century were
cups imported from China in any great
quantities, and even then it was as arti-
Giles of vertu. Most of those found their
way back into China again, as collect
ing porcelain is lasting fad there, and
high prices are paid for good specimens.
The collection of Chinese porcelain, if
only the genuine specimens are desired.
requires immense study and knowledge,
as the Chinese are skillful imitators
and put numerous falsifcations on the
market.

THE FAIR.
Bad Weather Kept it Back. Running
Now In Full Blast.

Last week cold, coloudy weather
prevailed and Encouragement as to good
weather for the fair became general.
Friday the rain came, Saturday it con-
tinued, and even Sunday it rained some.
Monday failed to clear the rain clouds
away. Tuesday morning gave the first
intimation of better weather. By after
noon work had commenced and yester-
day good crowd of people came. In
the afternoon about 5000 were on the
grounds. 1t was school children's day
and they were admitted free. Over
/ 800 people paid admission. The weather
was pleasant. The lack of dust and the
nice atmosphere made the weather con-
dtions admirable.
Because of the continued rain many
exhibitors, who had intended to come,
failed to enter. This makes the exhibits
light. A trip around shows the follow
ing to be among the leading exhibits:
j. FL. Maharg has five of his splendid
Kruckshank Short Horn cattle there
| William L. Clark, of Hamlin, is there
with some Shropshire sheep, Adam
Fiscus with some Oxfords and A. H.
Edwards with Southdowns and some
nice goats some of which are Angoras
George Bingham, of Manning, has some
Poland China hogs, Geo. Davis has
some Duroc red hogs as also has j. w.
Mcclure. Hi Mendenhall and j. G.
Hardman, of Brayton, each have Poland
Chinas and J. w. R"senburg Chester
| Whites.
G. W. Hoover has an exhibit of nipple
ments and machinery. Adam Fiscus
has an excellent garden pillow. His son
has novel model of continuance for
removing hay rack from a wagon. H..
ID. Hollister has cream separator.
In the hall f. B. Cousins was arrang-
ing large exhibit of pantry stores
brought in by different parties. Mr.
Hudler had nice exhibit of vegetables.
Geo. B. Gill, 1. Wilson and A. W..
Warner are among the exhibitors of
horses and colts.
There is lack of gambling devices,
which speaks we'll for the fair manage
ment.
The prospects today are that the
crowd will be immense The races yes.

in pretty good condition. The Audubon
track record was broken by John Robin
son who made the half in 80 and "a.
Starlace won the 2:25. There will be
good races today. The chariot races and
the rough riders were great entertain
ment
The people are having great big
social time. The political candidates
are in clover. The fair is success in
most ways after all.
