CHAPTER IT.

The Bayou Woods was a locality with many contra adictory features. When it was not picturesque it was unutterably dismal. When it's mighty trees were not delight it's scrubby undergrowth was 8 vexation to the spirit. On the bosom of pools whose slime was an offense to the eye were spread in summer time fleets of wa ter lilies whose beauty was an in- spiration to the fancy. Flower and fungus were alike characteristic of ft in the warmer months, and in the rainy season it seemed to act as a vast sponge and absorb an abnormal amount of moisture. Rotting timber, half-fallen oaks, patches of canebrake and clusters of holly trees were among it's marked features. Deadly malaria stalked through it's gloomy aisles; the bark of the trees always bore evidence of the highwater mark of the last overflow, and melancholy marked it at all times.
 The Bayou Woods was also local ity with a history; and, moreover, man, in some odd and unusual guise, dwelt sporadically therein. A few primitive houses could be found scat tered through 1t, occupying the high est points above the line of overflow. It was considered a good hunting ground, but that was the only good known of 1t. More crimes perhaps had been committed there than in any other suburban section.
 On the north line of the woods were several houses occupied by peo- pie of the lowest class.
 One of. these was a dance house and saloon, where the liquor that fires as we'll as inebriates could al- ways be found. Death had presided over many orgies in this highly un- savory den, and even the officers of the law never entered the place with out a shudder. From time immemo- rial the people who conducted it had been allied with murderers and thieves, and the dingy walls, if they had been tongues as we'll as ears, could have told of the violation of nearly every law, human or divine. Before this place the chief of police stopped and he and his companion aIighted. Before Investigating any crime committed in the Bayou Woods 1t was always advisable to see if any pupil of the Devils Den, as the place was called, had been concerned In it.
 The repulsive exterior of the place did not do justice to the fascinating hideousness of the interior. The very atmosphere there savored of vice and crime. A large stove heated it almost to suffocation, and it was evident that if this heat did not pro- duce insensibility that state might very readily be reached by drink from one of the Satanic black bottles behind the bar. The individual who presided over the den might readily have been mistaken for the devil him. self under conditions that were fa-i

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 I will take you in the buggy with me. I think 1t best to make an Investigation before the coroner is notified to make the inquest"
 Warde accepted with alacrity. He was not bad judge of human na- ture himself, and his mind was al- ready busy with fascinating theories, to the verifcation or explosion of which he was prepared to devote some of his time and energy. The chief of police was evidently a close observer, but he lacked one quality which Warde possessed in a remark able degree, namely, imagination. Perhaps it was difference in mem tai traits which made one of them journalist and the other a policeman. At least some people who labor under the delusion that a newspaper man relies upon his imagination for his facts might be inclined to think so, but far, far be 1t from me to indorse that popular fallacy.
 Leaving instructions with an officer to have Herbert Wright shadowed and to notify the coroner an hour; later that murder had been conn., 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. ;

few moments before either spoke.
 1T confess I am puzzled" replied the chief. "It 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? It might reasonably be con jectured that he would not hesitate to commit murder. But in his case, if he really committed the crime, we have to make some very peculiar as- sumptions. We must assume that he Is very accomplished actor, and that he is villain of iron nerve. Having committed this crime, would he be the first to report it to the police. and

Nations That Eat Most.

Among modern nations the great est eaters are the English, Germans, French and Americans-the ruling people of our civilization. The diet of the Spaniards and the Italians is notably less substantial than that of the English and Germans, just as their brains are less active and orig inal. The Americans are, on the av- craze, the greatest eaters in the world.
