Eeving Boys.

At the beginning of this year bog
in Ireland began to slide and in the
course of its travels buried several cot
tages and killed nine persons. Though.
fortunately, not often accompanied by
loss OF life, this accident is commoner in
Ireland than might be supposed from
the extraordinary interest excited by the
case just mentioned. One-seventh of the
country is covered by these boys, which
after heavy continuous rains are liable
to overflow or "burst. In January,
1888, bog near Castlerea burst its
bounds and played dreadful havoc, stop
ping mills, choking bridges and cover
ing fields with a coating Of sludgy
wudgy ooze to the depth Of 26 feet
Seven months earlier a bog in East
Glare fell a-crawling and bore away
several fields of potatoes and ruined part
of the high road to Limerick. Many at
tempts have been made to drain these
boys or MOSES, but, though fortunes
have been spent in the effort, there is
not single instance in which any sue
cess worth speaking of has been
achieved.

When the detective came. the doctor
was busy examining under powerful
microscope some consumption germs
which had that afternoon been sent him
by distinguished physician.
"Busy, see," was Hendricks greet

dropped his slouched hat on the floor.
'How are you? Through in a min

Conway sent me this afternoon. l know
little about such things, but he always
wants me to sanction his conclusions.
"What sort are they?' asked Hen
bricks absentmindedly.
Lampkin laughed, with his eye to
the microscope.
"Do you expect me to waste valuable
lung power explaining things to you
when your mind is thousand miles
away? Go toll What luck at Benton 81"
"Not much" answered Hendricks.
"I'm stranded. Would you believe, Old
man, that night before last, after we
got back from East Orange, | went
home, went TO bed, failed to sleep, got
mp, walked to Central park and back
and then went out to Benton's?"

but Allen" put in DR.. Lampkin,
removing one of the glass slides from
his microscope and selecting another.
81 thought
"No," Hendricks broke in; 81 haven
blasted bit Of evidence against him.
The fact that he had quarreled with old
Benton when Benton was rowing with
every soul around him wouldn't count
for anything. So, You see, it was the
bullet or nothing. Anyway it kept me
from sleeping. crept into the grounds
at the side gate and by the light of a
dark lantern carefully examined the
wood in which the ball had lodged,
hoping that some idea would pop into
my Uranium, as it often does"
"You usually have ideas to spare"
remarked Lampkin, adjusting the green
shade over his eyes and looking again
into his microscope. Have you heard
how Allen is getting on?''
II don't know much about him. re-
piled Hendricks. "Kola is looking aft
er him. He has been about Benton's all
day in the disguise of laborer. Late
this afternoon he sent me hasty mes
sage that Allen was to be moved to q
private hospital up town. Kola prom
ised to meet me here this evening""
II am glad Allen will have medical
attention." said Lampkin. "He was
such sad sight that I have not been
able to stop thinking about him.
''It is the bullet that's troubling me"
said Hendricks. "When can't see nat
ural reasons for thing, it runs me
wild. can't account for the ball not
having had more force than it had. l
have talked to pistol makers, gunsmiths
and old sportsmen, but none of them
can explain it.
Hendricks rose, took the bullet from
his pocket and unwrapped the tissue pa
per from about it. lyon see" he con-
tinued, "the pointed end of it is scarce
ly fiattened."
DR.. Lampkin examined the bit of lead.

"You say the wood was soft?'

Lampkin went to the door. 1t was
the adept.

Hendricks''-
Here I am, my boy" the detective
called out cordially. "Come right in.
What's the news?''
The adept stood erect in the center of
the room.
"You know" he began, "that Mr..
Allen was to 60 to private hospital up

Ego ahead"
"Dr. Burton came after him and
brought him over in his own carriage. 1
the ferryboat landing on this side, SO I
followed in cab"
''Good for you! Bully boyp' exclaim-
ed the detective excitedly. "Well?"
1.-THE carriage when it left the boat
on this side turned down town instead
Of up. The driver whipped up his horses
and drove fast. I instructed my cabby
to keep them in sight"
"And he did it, Of course" put in
the detective. II see it in your eye."
"They stopped at lodging house,
646 West Thirteenth street. They
brought a cot out to the carriage and
carried Allen in on it. He looked as if
he were nearly dead"
Hendricks said nothing when Kola
had concluded, and the adept, after
studying the face Of his master for q
minute. sat down.
