Title Of Washington County to the
Court House and Jail Property.
The deed Of tAe Jail property reads
as :DaS1ey aS1t9"s; wood6sfisee to Washington
County:
Know all men by these presents that
l, Dudley woodbridge, do as a gift to
the County of washington, for the
sole use ana benefit of said county,
relinquish all my right-being pos
sessory right onlS-Ait being in mile
square in Marietta, aforesaid, approp-
rated to religious purposes.
Beginning at post at the corner OF
Putnam and Second streets, thence
running South 200 feet on Second
street, thence easterly in parallel
line with Putnam street 100 feet,
thence northerly in parallel line
with Second street about 200 feet to
Putnam street, thence to the first de-
scribed point"
Dated December 18th, 1899.
The deed for the other lot on which
the Court House now stands is worded
the same as the above. So that it
would appear that neither of the
grantors had any legal title to the
property they sought to turn over to
the county. This is true for two reas-
ons:
First-A title by possession, in Or
der to be worth anything, must have
ripened by twenty-one years adverse
possession, and in 1899 only eleven
years had elapsed since the settlement
which took place on April 7, 1888.
Second-The property, being in the
Ministerial Section, was held in trust
and it was not possible for any one to
have acquired title to it at that time.
The trustees had no right to sell and
no Governors deed could have been
obtained in 1899 for the very good
reason that Ohio was not a state at
that time and had no Governor. How
ever, the Ministerial Trustees did
what they could to confirm the Coun-
ty of Washington in her possession
and title, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing entries in their records:
Resolved, That the parcel Of ground
recently relinquished by Dudley
Woodbridge to the County OF Wash
ington for the purpose Of erecting a
Court House and Jail upon and that
parcel of ground relinquished by
Ebenezer Sproat to the County ofWash-
ington for the purpose of erecting a
Court House upon, be and the same
are hereby reserved for the aforesaid
purposes
This action was taken on June 29,
1901, and can be found on page 8 rec
ora u Minutes of the Ministerial
Trustees.
A large proportion Of the lots in the
city OF Marietta whieh eeFe within
the Ministerial Section ioy mile
square )are now owned in fee simple
by the present owners. This was
brought about under q law whins. mas
been standing for a long time and it's
operations are perfectly we'll known.
1t is this-the occupant sends to the
State treasury a sum sufficient to
yield interest equal to the annual
Ministerial rents and the Governor
sends him deed in fee simple for the
lot. There is no reason why the coun-
ty of Washington should not at once
get deed in fee simple and thus be
able to handle the property in any way
that may be deemed best. Either to
build the new Court House on or to
sell If thought necessary or advisable.

utes' search he declared he saw no en-
velope which looked like the one he had
in mind. The second bag was searched
without success. but the third had hard
ly been opened before WILDLY picked
up large, square envelope.
81 think this must be it," he said.
"You are right; it matches the color
of the paper. They must have gone
together" replied the detective; and he
opened the case of his watch and held
the corner of the envelope down to the
front of the tiny bit. 1--WE are all right
so far" Hendricks walked to the front
of the shop alone, studying, with a
wrinkled brow, the envelope. WILDLY
paid the Jew for bis trouble, and then
joined him.
Can you make anything out of it ?"
he asked.

and he clinched his fist, and swore

What is it?'' WILDLY questioned.
81 don't know myself" said the de-
tective. II have seen something like
this before, but can't tell where. BY
Jove! it will drive me crazy if I don't
make it out. There is something about
this envelope that is familiar, but it
eludes me like the memory of night
mare. But I'll get it after awhile.
Leave me, you and your man. I'll walk
back alone. I want to tussle with the
thing. I shall see you as soon as come
to any conclusion"

Count Saint Gernfain, who appeared
in Paris in the reign of Louis XIV. and
pretended to be possessed of the elixir
of life, had a valet who was almost as
great as his master in the art of lying.
Once, when the count was describing
at n dinner party a circumstance which
occurred at the court of Ibis friend
King Richard I: of England" he APP
pealed to his servant for the confirma-
ton of his story, who, with the greatest
composure. replied:

Ch1ldren's ApDetitex.

To promote children's appetites
there is no better plan than to give
them plenty of outdoor exercise, fun
and frolic; make them regular in their
habits, and feed them only upon plain,
nourishing food, and they will seldom,
if ever, complain of a lack of appetite.
Never, however, keep them overtasked
in school, or confine them closely to
the house after school hours, and frown
down any attempt at play. If children
are fed upon rich and highly-seasoned
foods, nuts, ETC., or are allowed to eat
hctween meals, it is hopeless to ex-
pect them to have an appetite for their
proper meals. Don't allow them to
study too much, and especially keep
them from reading the penny dread
full" Sickness is the most expensive
nuisance in the world, and, although
there may be cases when it makes peo-
pie or children better. it generally
makes them selfish and miserable. The
best way to make children happy and
Keep them good is to keep them well.

"But don't you think Mrs. Walters

asked Welsh
Nothing at all. Here it is in a nut
shell: She will be mother in about
three months. In her condition she is
always queerly imaginative and deceit
full. She lost a child a year ago in child
birth. and for several months before
it was born she almost ran her family
wild with her strange fancies. She has
been reading sensational literature for
long time, and when that murder oc-

for the capture of the criminal it struck
her that the murderer would be apt to
resent it. She tried to rouse the fears

she determined to make them do so.
She invented the yarn about having
seen a man on the lawn the night she
astonished them by going to the gate
with her husbands revolver, and, fol-
lowing the murderer's idea of using a
typewriter, she wrote the threatening
letter to her father and enjoyed the ex-
element it caused. Later, fearing that
some one would see through her little
deception, she determined to make the
circumstances more convincing. The
detective stories she had read gave her
the idea of pretending to be shot at.
As 1 have shown you, she dampened
the clay with the watering can, made
the footmarks by wearing her fathers
slippers, shot a hole through her sleeve,

CHAPTER XIV.

The next morning at nine o'clock Miss
Delmar called at Whidby's.
81 have had to run for it," she said,
laughingly. as the young man came
into the drawing-room. II had to give
papa the slip. He heard that 1 was out
all day yesterday and demanded an en-
PLANTATION. Of course, refused to tell
him anything, and he ordered me not to
show myself out of doors to-day. But
when I got the telegram from Mr.
Hendricks to meet him here at nine

run nearly all the way"
WILDLY drew her to him and kissed
her.
'You were bound to pull me out of
this hole" he said. "A week ago I was
nearly crazy with forebodings, but now
really enjoy it,"

81 wonder if Mr.. Hendricks can have
discovered anything more? Here he
comes now. heard'the gate click. Let
me admit him."
She went to the door, and in mo-
ment entered with the detective.
HE knows something new" she said,
laughingly, to her lover. Il can see it
in his eyes"
'You certainly don't seem so per-
picked as you did when left you yester-
day" said WILDLY, as he cordially shook
hands.
"a little nearer, that's ALL" was the
reply of the detective, as he sat down
and took out the envelope they had
found at the shop of the rag dealer.
''You know" he went on to WILDLY.
II said yesterday that there was some
thing familiar about this envelope that
1 couldn't make out. Well, last night.

"It was thrown into this basket by Mr.
Strong about month ago. Can you

HAS he been here lately?"
Just day or so before the murder.
sir. l remember
Gould you take Mr.. WILDLY and my
self to his place." said the detective
I'VE might be in time to keep our bit of
evidence from being made up into new
paper"
Eyes, sir, without any trouble. His
shop is on First street, under the bridge
1t is pretty tough place, sir, but we
can take the cars and get down quick
enough"
81 see I am to be of no further assis-
tance." TESTED Miss Delmar.
II didn't quite think you would care
to soil your skirts in ragman's shop"
replied the detective. "But as soon as
we get clew, Mr.. WILDLY may bring
the news to you. We'd better be going,
too"
Hendricks and Matthews started out
at once. WILDLY fingered in the draw
ing-room with Miss Delmar.
IF you have the time, you might stay
here until we return" said WILDLY
Il am sure we shan't be long
'I'llwait an hour, anyway" the young
lady promised. II am dying to know
if you accomplish anything. But run
on; they are waiting for you, and here
comes the car
In ten minutes the three men had
reached the bridge spanning the murky
river and were entering the shop indi-
Gated by Matthews.
I'VE must tell him exactly what we
want" Hendricks whispered to WILDLY
at the door. He hasn't a very honest
face, and if he thinks we have lost some
thing OF intrinsic value he may tell us a
lot of lies. Usually they do all they can
to aid detective"
"Ah, l see," answered WILDLY 81
should have Numbered there if l had
been alone"
The dealer, a little Jew, with q very
crafty face, came from behind a coun-
ter piled up high with sacks of rags and
paper.
What can do for you, gentlemen? ''
he asked.
In few words Hendricks explained
what they were searching for.
''Ah! and you want to catch him. eh ?
Well. 1 hope you can" said the Jew
81 think l know the bags I got from
deere. They are up in the loft. 1 will
throw them down, and you can look
through them here"

ed of that murder she would have shown
the white feather long ago."
What are you going to do now?''
asked Welsh, completely crestfallen.
Il am on quite another line, and am
at a standstill. 1 hardly know what l
shall do"
''Can aid you in any way?"
81 think not, now. Ishall come round
as soon as 1 find out anything tan

badness is generally due to the pres
ence of minute parasites which get into
the hair follicles and affect the roots Of
the hair. When the hairs are DESTROYED
to such degree that the scalp is
smooth and shiny, there is no help for
the badness. If there is thin down
upon the scalp. the case is durable. In
order to cure 1t, it is only necessary to
improve the nutrition of the scalp.
This is best done by massage A shiny
