JAPANESE A Willy PEOPLE.
Take to Frauds on Insurance compa.
nies With Great Readiness.

We have been spouting these ten
years about the cleverness of the
Japanese. Our smart Alecks went into
Mysteries over them. Our merchants
have gone to extremes In soliciting
Japanese trade, and our great insur.
ance companies have sent agents
broadcast over the islands Of the land
OF the rising sun to write policies.
In no other country on the globe is
the work of the insurance solicitor so
easy. In one month $l0.000.o00 of life
insurance has been placed by one New
York company. Every measly little
dwarf of Jap wants to insure An
agent has Just discovered that in medi.
cal examinations he has been badly
duped. one healthy Jap standing the
test for many hundreds of his fellow
countrymen. As all Japs look alike
the doctors did not detect the fraud
until about $5.o0o.0o0 in policies had
been written. Local insurance men
are exercised about It.

"vhat did the coroner's jury do?"

What did the coroner's jury do?"
he asked.
"They simply examined the body
and took in the bearings, rs it were,
ordered the corpse to be taken to
the home of the deceased, and aG
journed the inquest until tomorrow.
Wright was undoubtedly robbed of a
watch and several other valuables,
which so far can only be guessed at.
Tomorrow the inquest will be con-
tinued at the Wright place, and more
light will be thrown on the case. By
the way, how did your mysterious
criminal pan out?"
II will lay the facts before you and
you can judge for yourself as to their
value"
Warde then told the story of the
footprints, how the unknown had not
gone through the woods, but had cut
across to the direct route, and was
going back to the city when he fell
in with the coroner and his party,
joined them, went back with them
to the scene of the murder, and for
all Warde knew was a member of the
coroner's jury.
swell, that certainly is PECULIAR"
said the chief. "I wish I had known
it; I might get some satisfaction out
of your man."
"Did you observe no one with arc
ties on?"
"No; I never thought of looking,
as it never occurred to me that your
man had made a roundabout trip
through the woods and joined the
coroner. OF course there was a o n
siderable number of stragglers who
were gathered up IS the prone
made his way to the scene of the
murder. I presume that officer
brought the jurors with him. He al
so had a lawyer, Col. James Frank
lin, with him. The colonel was an
old friend of Wright's, and he will
assist at the prosecution, if there is
anybody to prosecute. He will also
devote himself to discovering who
the murderer is. I think we will find
him of service, as he is a man of
great ~penetration."
81 will call upon him and find out
what he knows about Wright, and
get his ideas as to the murder"
"That would be a good idea. Let
me caution you, however, about what
you write for your papex. 1t is just
possible that your ingenious theories
may be true, and if you cutline them
to the public you may render impos-
sible the capture of the criminal"
"Well, I will agree not to say any
thing yet on that subject provided
you will not furnish the otter papers
with any of my theories, an you call
them"
GAIL right" said the chief, with a
smile; eff you unravel the mystery
[ think you are entitled to a monop-
oily of it."
Warde then sought Col Franklin to
lay his Investigations befor,, him, an
ticipating that he would find in the
lawyer a more sympathetic judge of
the Importance of his discoveries.
When he had gone the cllief of pc"
lice gave word to a subordinate to
