Wright would not reveal his thoughts.
So, after diagram of the Bayou
Woods for the officer and locating
approximately the body of the muir
dered man thereon, Wright took his
departure.
The chief and the newspaper man
looked at each other tentatively for
few moments before either spoke.
Il confess I am puzzled" replied
the chief. ct is, of course, easy to
make up theories. Wright has been
playing in very tough luck for some
time. He has been disowned by his
father; he is out of employment; he
sees his wife dying of starvation, and
he cannot obtain honest work. What
would man do under such circum-
stances? 1t might reasonably be con-
jectured that he would not hesitate
to commit u murder. But in mis- case,
if he really committed the crime, we
have to make some very peculiar as
sumptions. We must assume that he
is a very accomplished actor, and that
he is a villain of iron nerve. Having
committed this crime, would he be the
first to report it to the police, and
would he not have ready lie for
every question that he refused to an
swer? But this is no time for spec
ulations. An examination of the body
may reveal an entirely different state
of facts from those which fit any
particular theory we may have, and
the sooner we go to the Bayou Woods
the better. If you would like to go
along will take you in the buggy
with me. 1 think it best to make an
Investigation before the coroner is

Warde accepted with alacrity. He
was not bad judge of human ma
ture himself, and his mind was al
ready busy with fascinating theories,
to the verification or explosion of
which he was prepared to devote
| some of his time and energy. The
chief of police was evidently close
observer, but he lacked one quality
which Warde possessed in a remark
able degree, namely, imagination.
Perhaps it was difference in men,
tai traits which made one of them a
journalist and the other policeman.
1t least some people who labor under
the delusion that newspaper man
relies upon his imagination for his
facts might be inclined to think so,
but far, far be it from me to indorse
that popular fallacy.
Leaving instructions with an officer
TO have Herbert Wright Swallowed
and to notify the coroner an hour
later that murder had been com
mitted in the Bayou Woods, the chief
called for his buggy, and, accom-
panied by Warde, was soon driving
in the direction of the scene of the
tragedy.

HAD TO RIDE IN HFARsE.
The Grewsome Conveyance vsed
When the Other Vehicle
Broke Down.

Following banquet at Orangeyil1e,
Pa. the other evening,'a party consist
ing of five married couples, prominent
in Bloomsbury society, were treatedto
a grewsome ride as the result of an ac-
cident.
When few miles upon their home
ward journey, and during heavy
downpour of rain, their conveyance
broke down, splitting out the occupants
and compelling them to wait an hour in
the rain while the driver secured the
surrounding country in search of Gov.
cred wagon.
The driver finally returned with a
hearse, borrowed from local under
taker, and, although the women
strongly protested against using car
riage of this description, they were
finally convinced that it was the best
thing obtainable at the time, and con-
.tinued their journey, arriving at an
early hour in the morning.
