MYSTERY or THE
B AYOU WOODS
Copyright, 1905, b, a. n. x.,,ose N,v,p.D., Go.
BY WALLER Kennedy.

there is one thing in connection with
that which requires explanation. The
same afternoon that your brother
pawned your fathers watch he also
pawned another watch at another
shop. 1t could not have been his own,
for in his destitute circumstances he
would have pawned or sold that long
ago. Whose watch, then, was it, and
what part does it play in the trag-
edy? When that question is an
swered perhaps we shall have the
key to unlock the mystery"
Miriam Wright was easily imbued
with some of Warde's own belief in
his theories, imperfect as they were.
They went over the whole ground
carefully together, and when at last
he arose to take his departure she
begged him earnestly to continue his
task and help her brother. She had
an idea that the police were in league
against him, and Warde seemed to be
the only friend they had.
When Irving Warde returned to the
city he began to realize that he had
shouldered a big job. Here was q
case SO plain as to stagger almost
any one. The hand Of fate seemed to
be in it. By having in his possession
those pawn tickets Ceiling for the
murdered mans articles, Wright's
doom had apparently been sealed.
How could they have come into the
young mans hands unless he had
taken them from his father? The
old man had been murdered and
robbed, and the articles of which he
had been robbed and for which he
had apparently been murdered had
been traced to Herbert Wright.
AS an Offset to this he had as pegs
on which to hang theory:
!. The arctics.
2. The unidentified watch.
If he could find out who wore the
arctics, it would enable him to deter
mine what part the wearer played in
the tragedy, If any; but he had little
hope that he would be able to make
any progress in this line of inquiry.
And the watch? Even suppose an
owner were found for it, he might
be some one who had been robbed,
ana another crime would be laid up to
Wright's account without helping his
case at all.
That afternoon Warde called at the
Jail and sought an interview with
Wright. The latter was evidently
very much bewildered over the drift
OF affairs, and he showed it in his
face as we'll as his speech. Warde
assured him that he believed in his
innocence and that he would try to
establish the fact; but Wright de-
clined to say anything regarding the
case that could help the reporter in
his researches.
Il am entirely innocent of this
crime. My father was killed with a
pistol, and have not had such q
weapon in my hand for months.

ter standing in good condition at the
present time. In 1856 Sir Walter
Raleigh presented tree which he
carried from Virginia to Sir Francis
Bacon. 1t may still be seen growing
in the garden of Gray's inn.
1t is expected that the sides of rail-
road tracks will present thousands of
miles of avenues of beautiful catalpas.
In 16 years, tree will produce five
cross-ties, which will last IS years;
and $40 trees planted on either side Of
enc mile of track will provide 5000
ties, sufficient to relay the mile.
When catalpa is cut or broken
down, a new shoot, arising from the
stump, quickly becomes tall, vigor-
Gus tree, as the wide-spreading roots
afford it plentiful nourishment. A
growth is permanent, as only few
trees would be cut each year to sup
ply locally railroad ties and poles for
electric wires. The present large cost
for transportation would be entirely
done away with if they are in the 10.
cality where raised.
One-year-old trees are procured at
cost of from five to ten dollars per
thousand. If it be necessary to use
seeds, rows should be drilled about
four feet apart, covered lightly, and
kept weeded. There are about 10000
seeds to pound. All the weeds must
be kept out. A sod of grass will ruin
catalpas. Vegetables may, if desired,
be planted between the rows of trees.
which should be cultivated until about
five years old. The land should be
in a sufficiently good condition to pro-
duce good crop Of corn.
With land at $40 per acre, the aver
age cost of producing an acre of trees
is about SIS. This includes taxes, la
Dor, trees, interest, and all incidentals.
If, at the end of eight years, all but
the permanent trees be removed,
about 10 to an acre will be left. Each
removed tree supplies two posts at ten
cents each, SO trees, 1920 posts, or
covers the first cost. The plantation
has paid for itself, and the owner now
has permanent grove, which, In the
twentieth year, gives $50 feet of lum-
Der to tree, or $4,000 feet, which, at
$40 per 1000, equals $3.50. The in
creased and permanent value of the
land (from renewed growth from
stumps) is said to represent an eight
per cent. interest on $1,000. 1t looks
like easy money. Time will tell.

BUSINESS, AMT IT?"
There is an old pistol In my house
that has been lying there untouched
Tor over year. can see that in
order to clear myself, Mr.. Warde, it
will be necessary for me to establish
the guilt of another man. That is
hard part, an injustice may say, Of
circumstantial evidence. Without
Offering direct proof OF a mans guilt,
1t weayes network about him so
plausible and SO apparently convinc-
ing that 1t is almost impossible for
him to establish his innocence. Cir
cumstantial evidence assumes that I
am guilty, and then challenges me to
prove that am not. It would be
impossible for me to prove an alibi,
because the time of the killing is not
exactly located. have suspicion of
my own about this case, but do not
feel warranted in telling what it is.
You would declare it too wildly i'm
probable to merit q moments belief.
! must think the whole thing over be-
fore say anything to anybody"
At this moment all further CONVEX
sation was interrupted by the appear
ance of Wright's wife. Warde saw
that she was q pleasant-faced, rather
good-looking young woman, who had
evidently undergone hard spell of
sickness. He further saw that the
meeting between husband and wife
was of the tenderest character, and
then he went away.
There was at least one person, he
thought, who believed in Wright's in
nocence absolutely.
On his way back to his Office, he
stopped at the Office of Col. Franklin,
"The colonel will be back at three"
said his clerk, young man by the
name of Frank Hillsman. "You'ye,
only to wait Is minutes. Better take
chair. Have a cigar?"
Hillsman was knowing young man
with gay, dissipated look, not a bad
hearted fellow one would say, but
with an unmistakable tendency to
surrender very promptly to tempta-
ton. He wore jaunty clothes, smoked
yillianous cigars, played poker reck-
lessly, and knew every saloonkeeper
in town by his Christian name. He
stunned himself on hia wickednessi

OPEN REVOLT
AGAINST HILL,
Democratic Leaders Start Trouble
for the Former United States
Senator.
OLD SCORES TO BE SETTLED.
Brooklyn Men Especially Eager to
Retire Sage of Wolfert's Roost
and Keep Him Away From
the National Convention.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL. ~
Saratoga. N. Y, Aug. N-Open revolt has
been started against the leadership Of Da-
vid Bennett Hill within the Democratic
party of this State. It is openly discussed
by all Of the Democratic leaders here and
those from Brooklyn seem to be doing what
they can to make peace impossible. Old
scores are to be repaid. Indignities heaped
upon others by the former Senator are to
be thrown back upon him II it Is possible
to do It.
= The present plan Is to prevent Hill from
being sent to the next Democratic National
Convention. He can go to the convention
as the representative of his district. but
that will not do him. AS the leader Of the
Democrats Of the State Of New York he
must be one Of the delegates-at-large.
A coalition Of forces is being planned
which, If brought about, will keep Mr.. Hill
from attaining the honor which he has
thought would be his without the asking.
1t will be recalled that the Syracuse Con-
vention of 1893 got from the control Of Mr.
Hill and against his wishes Judge Van
enemies believe that another defeat can be
inflicted upon Hill in Just the same man
That Tammany will oppose Hill is certain
If enough opposition can be mustered to
make a majority against him assured.
There are many Of the Brooklyn leaders.
notably Shevlin and McCarren, who will
oppose Hill In spite OF the influence Of
Hugh Mclaughlin.
They are angry because Hill has inter-
fered, or attempted to interfere, in the poll
tics Of New York City.
An open fight may be made in Brooklyn.
and in that event McCarren, Shevlin and
their followers can muster. at least one
third OF the votes Of the Brooklyn delega-
ton to the State Convention.
The men who were literally kicked out of
the last convention have been biding their
time since they assisted in the election of
GOVERNOR Odell. and they are now ready to
