THE ROENTGEN RAYS.

The HOENItEN hAIs.
II tell you, sturgis, 1t is wonderful
discovery. l don't know what applica.
tons may ultimately be made OF 1t in
other branches Of science, but / am
convinced that it is bound to cause q
revolution in surgical diagnosis" said
DR.. Thurston, enthusiastically.
"Yes," replied sturgis, II have no
doubt that Roentgen's rays will be Of
great assistance TO the surgeon in the
examination of features and In the To-
cation of foreign bodies which cannot
be reached by the probe"
"As proof of that, must show you
= beautiful photograph which have
just made. After leaving you on New
Years morning, I found patient
asleep in nay Office. He had been wait
ing several hours. 1t was the usual
case of pistol in the hands of fool
friend, who did not know 1t was load
ed; and of course with the usual result
"A bullet wound in my patient"
Sturgis was listening in an absent
minded way while his friend spoke.
",rhe wound was not severe; no
bones broken. The bullet had entered
the palm of the left hand and had
passed up into the forearm"
A sudden light came into the report
er's eyes; but he maintained his list
less attitude.
"Well, sir, probe as I would, was
unable to locate that bullet. At last

CHAPTER XVII.
THE QUARRY.

Half an hour later Sturgis was walk
ing briskly down Broadway, with his
usual air Of absent-minded concentra-
ton. Presently he turned into a side
street and at once slackened his pace.
He now sauntered along like lounger
at loss how to kill long, idle day.
The show window Of bric-a-brac shop
arrested his attention. He stopped to
examine its contents.
A little farther up the street was
liquor saloon, outside Of which stood
group of boisterous young rowdies.
An older man, evidently in his cups,
was seated on an adjoining stoop,
where. with maudlin gravity, he seemed
to be communing with himself.
On the opposite hde Of the way stood
. low, dilapidated brick house. A
painted Sign over tho windows Of the
kround door bore the namei MAN
HAITIAN CHEMICAL CO."
Tho drunken man rose unsteadily to
bic feet and approached sturgis with
outstretehsd hand. y -~

Ferris School

Great improvements are being
made at the Ferris Industrial
School near this city, but they are
not the kind to be noticed by an
observer unfamiliar with the in
stitution. There is not a better
kept farm in this country than the
one of 200 acres surrounding the
school, and which is cultivated by
boys under the direction OF Super
intendent A. S Meserve and his
assistants. The managers OF the
institution also assist by encour-
aging those in charge and the re-
suit Of this good work is now being
shown.
At present the wheat is being
harvested. The estimate for the
entire crop is 1000 bushels. an
average of about twenty-five bushel
to the acre. This is good yield
considering the crop is hillside
wheat. The fields are billy and it
has been more difficult to raise a
crop than it would have been in a
level tract. The wheat will be
turned into -four and will keep the
institution in bread for some time.
Two barrels of -four are used every
week.

concluded 10 try the Roentgep rays,
and here Is the result. 1t is as pretty.a
shadow photograph as l have yet
SEEN"
So saying, DR.. Thurston handed the
reporter u photograph, which the lat
ter studied carefully in silence.
Notice how clearly you can see the
peculiar shape into which the bullet
has been Aattened," said the physician.
"Yes," replied Sturgis, II was observ-
ing that. Have you duplicate of this
that you can spare?
Eyes; keep that one if you wish"
"Thank you; l am very glad to have
it. Did you succeed in extracting the
bullet?"
81 have not tried yet. had to devel-
op the photograph first"
"Of course. When do you expect the
red haired young man to returnP'
HE promised to come back yester-
day, but he failed to do So replied
DR.. Thurston. Then, suddenly:
"But who said anything about his
being young or red-haired?"
Not you, certainly, old man. re-
piled Sturgis, smiling. Don't worry;
you have not voluntarily betrayed any
professional secret. But, for all that,
your patient is wanted by the police.
He was bound to fall into their hands
before long. The only effect of this
discovery will be to hasten the denoue-
ment. had traced him to your house,
and l knew how he was wounded, SO
that recognized him as soon as you
mentioned his case"
"Who is he?" asked Thurston. Tam
sure have seen him somewhere before,
but I cannot remember where"
Whereupon the reporter related the
story Of Chatham's connection with
the Knickerbocker bank case.

ing, Come with US to Augustine

Enumclaw the Scene OF Tragic
Accident Little James Farrah
Falls on Crossing and
Heavy Wagon Passes Over Him.

James Farrah. the eight-year-old son
or prominent resident of Enumclaw,
met sudden and tragic death yesterday
afternoon at that place. He was riding
In wagon In company with several
other children and fell off. The wheels
passed over him. crushing out his life.
The accident came upon the eve of
the departure of the boys father for
Nome. He had told his wife and son
good-by and come to Seattle with the in
tention of sailing on the steamship Ia
coma. Yesterday afternoon messengers
were securing the city to inform him of
the sad accident.
The news of the accident was received
by Deputy Coroner Powers from the JUS
tice of the peace at Enumclaw. The Jus
tice said that, while it was very un-
fortunate accident, not the slightest
blame attached TO any one. and that it
was entirely unnecessary to hold an in
quest. DR.. Powers did not give final
answer on this point, as Coroner Spar
ling was away from his office. In all
probability. however. no inquest will be
held
John Connolly was driving the team.
He had a load of shingles on the wagon.
The children were anxious for ride
and climbed up onto the wagon. AS the
team was going over railroad crossing
young Farrah lost his hold and fell UNI
der the wheels. Before Connolly could
