CHAPTER XIII.
An Anxious Ordeal.

The proceedings before the magistrate
were of different nature from those at
the inquest. They We're much more min
ute and far-reaching, and Frank Holt was
brought up time after time only to be re-
manded.
Never had the police been face to face
with a greater puzzle. All their inquiries
had led to nothing, but they still chung to
their theory that Frank Holt was in some
way mixed up in the affair, and hence
their desire for further remands to per-
nit them to scrape up, if possible, some
tangible evidence against the prisoner.
Naturally, their strong point was the
letter alleged to have been written by
Holt to Mr.. Trenaine, but they could not
bring any proof that he did write it. On
the other hand, specimens of Frank Hollis
handwriting We're submitted by his solicit
or and an expert who was called for the
defence swore positively that there was
not the slightest similarity between the
prisoners handwriting and that OF the
letter. But perhaps that which weighed
with the magistrate more than anything
was the testimony of Eleanor, who told
the story of the discovery of her fathers
body, and how jealous the prisoner had
been to assist her. 1t was not his fault
that the assassins had not been captured,
for he was more prompt in his suggestions
even than the police. Nobody could have
any confederacy in the crime than he.
Then she produced an envelope from her
pocket, and asked the magistrate to COM
pare the writing of it with that of the let
ter supposed to have been written by the
prisoner.
THAT letter." said Eleanor, Contained
something which have destroyed. 1t was
delivered at my fathers house in Picca-
dilly on the night of the Diamond Jubilee
will at he IRE
maine on both envelopes you will find the
writing in each case is the same
TT certainly does appear to be so,
but how was it you did not tell the police
of this circumstance before?"
ut did not occur to me until this morn
ing to look at the envelop which | had
preserved. Besides" she added hesitat
ingly, st was afraid the police would not
produce 1t at the present moment and I
was anxious that the prisoner should have
the benefit of it at the earliest possible
opportunity"
Frank raised his eyes and cast a CRATE
full glance at the girl, who however, had
her gaze fixed on the magistrate.
What was the nature of the communi-
cation you say the envelop cOntained?"
ct was something horribly Significant
returned Eleanor, with a shudder. II did
not know at that time how significant.
The envelop contained simply a piece of
paper on which there was a splash Of
Blood
The court, wrapped in hushed silence
while the girl was giving her evidence,
seemed to become as still as death itself
as the oninous words were uttered. Every
eye was turned upon Eleanor's PALE yet
| courageous face. Every heart was in
sympa thy with her. One could easily pic
ture the horrifying effect which such a
sinister missive must have produced upon
her.
Did your father know Of this letter?''
asked the magistrate.
"No, and I was afraid to tell him. That

FELL 300 FEET
Venturesome Girls Tumble Down
Side Of a Glacier.

Idaho Springs, Col, Aug. 25.-Two
young women met with a painful acct
dent on the Yankee Hill glacier, near
Alice, Col, which nearly cost them their
lives. The glacier is one of the summer
attractions here. Miss Mills Of Iowa, q
tourist, and Miss Champion Of this city,
were climbing the huge mass Of ice and
snow, when Miss Mills lost her footing.
She caught her companaion, and to-
gether they were precipitated down the
steep side of the glacier 800 feet upon the
rocks below. Miss Mills left leg was
broken, and both were terribly bruised
They were seen by campers, who took
them to a nearby hotel and called ply

The stock on the market by the first of
the year will be then about $500, 900 bales
and the element in the problem for the
bulls and bears to dispute about will be
how much more is coming? If the most
powerful interest think the crop is to be
only II COO 600 bales, the price win rule
high; but if on the contrary the consensus
of opinion is for a 100000 crop, the
price will drop. The mills can consume, at
a reasonable price, about II 800, 900 bales
but at a very high price they viii take
only about IL, 900 bales. AS it looks
like the crop promises to be large, lower
prices may be expected, when that fact
shall be definitely ascertained 1t seems to
me that the business men of the South
ought to sell the cotton of their neighbor-
hoods now. to be delivered later on at
the price now ruling, say ten cents. That
at least is a safe transaction. 1t is better
than taking chance of getting more,
with the risk of getting much less. A
certain sale at ten cents would be a good
transaction for cotton growers.

EDITORS AND OTHERS SHOULD
BE SEEKING AFTER TRUTH
Capt. Ashe Tries to Find Out Why Water From One
Mountain Spring is Cold and Another Hot--
Raleigh Taxes---Price of Cotton.

TO the Editor: One of the papers read
before the North Carolina Press Conven-
ton last May was uncommonly good
The author inculcated that the editor
should busy himself seeking after truth
1t was an excellent idea, and admirably
enforced 1t made quite an impression on
me. SO all this pleasant summer, the idea
has not departed from me: and the other
afternoon, several gentlemen being on the
porch drinking in the beauty of the lovely
scene, l enquired how did it happen that
the spring on Junaluska was so very cold
All eyes at once were turned on Juna-
lus6a and one of the gentlemen began to
explain. We'll" said he, cit is not a
local stream. 1t comes from a great dist
ance. Its source is higher than .Junaluska
l think it must come from up about Hud-
sons Bay-passes under the great lakes
somewhere and finally rises through some
OF the assures in the rocks to the top OF
Junaluska. 1t is astonishing how tull the
cart is," he continued, ''of streams. You
can't dig well, hardly, without hitting
one. You can't bore down two or three
thousand feet anywhere, but you Will get

above the surface; which shows that its
source is above the ground somewhere

earth than its source up in Minnesota is.
The waters of the Mississippi run up hail.
to all intents and purposes. And the
source of the Spring up on Junaluska is
still farther north-where there Is sup
ply of the coolest water
Presently, some one, as a sort of reply
to that argument, enquired how did he ac-
count for the hot water that gushes up
in fifty bold discharges at the Hot Springs
just west of Asheville.
oh he remarked chat water, no
matter what its source, descends IN it's
course to such d depth into the bowels
of the earth that it gets heated. At some
distance below the earth's surface, say a
hundred feet, the temperature becomes
Interchangeable; and then every hundred
feet you go down, the temperature rises
one degree So if you go far enough
down, you will get boiling water
well them, said the Doubling Thomas,
''why don't the stream on Junaluska get
hot?'' Very dubious the response came:
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-09-06

II expect it did come out hot at first;
but it has been running so long and has
all the time been so awfully cold that it
chilled the hole it comes through, and now
retains the original temperature it started
with
Another gentleman now took a hand,
and said: IF the temperature of the
earth, beginning a hundred feet below the
surface increases one degree for every
hundred feet as you go down; then begin
ming five thousand feet down, it increases
one degree for every hundred feet that go
go up. SO if the temperature OF the earth
is say 20 degrees at about sea level,
inside of Junauska where the temperature
keeps on diminishing, until you get to
the top-and it being 5000 feet high, its
interior ought to be 80 degrees lower than
about sea level; or somewhere in the
neighborhood of 20 degrees. And" he re-
marked, you know there are some noun
tains even in the hot ATTITUDES whose
tops are always covered with snow and
ice: and to be sure their insides are
frozen as hard as rocks
For myself, | thought there was some
thing in this latter view of the case; but
was reminded of General Clingmans dis
cussion of the causes of the great cloud
bursts some fifty years ago. when about
twenty cloud bursts occurred almost sim
ultaneously in a region twenty by thirty
miles, covering about the same locality
where that one occurred four months ago
which destroyed the Pacolet Mills. The
General, who was an earnest investigator
of such phenomena, always seeking the
truth, visited the scene and got at the
bottom facts He found that what
amounted to a great lake of water was
discharged in a minute by the atmosphere
at point less than fifty feet in circum
ference. Now, how did that immense mass
of water manage to collect at one point
in the air and fall instantaneously? The
General set up half a dozen theories in
succession and finally wound up with an
| admission that none Of them would hold
water-at least would not hold all the
| water that was in a cloud burst; and he
| had to give it up.
Well, there are curious things happening
about us every day that we find it hard
to explain. The other day we had q

on of the season: for to my surprise thun-
der and lightning are not near so com
mon here as in the low lands. The rever-
beration of the thunder among the noun
tains was grand But being engaged IN
pursuit of truth, l asked what made the
noise: for suddenly, there was a tremen-
dous clap of thunder right out there
where there were no clouds to come crash
ing together? But you have enough of
conundrums-unless you will stand this

wit: why is Il man in Jail, like a man
out of jail?' and then gractiously vouch

Editor Bailey. has been seeking truth and
asking conundrums-such as why don
the taxpayers list their solvent credits
But Raleigh taxation is too serious
matter to be treated in a light vein. 1t
is awfully solemn. In fact tremendous
Yet, | will hazard a remark. The News
and Observer itself says-but little money
is lent in Raleigh. True as to individuals:
for the banks charge but six per cent in
terest and they lend somewhere about
four millions of dollars, perhaps: so there
is but little occasion for individuals to
| lend on mortgage: especially since, deduct
4, ing taxes, the net increase cannot be more
than $500 on the hundred-while State
bonds yield more income than that. Still.
Mr.. Bailey admits a great error: and be

himself owes $4,000, he lists for taxation

/ call attention to this in justice to our
citizens. Observing the public movement
| in regard to taxation, 1 wish to give in my
voice in full sympathy Property should
be properly assessed at its real value
and the tax rate should be lowered. IT
has seemed to me that for some years
past but slight attention has been paid
to the opinions and judgment of those
who have to bear the burdens of taxation:
those in fact who are most interested IN
the growth, welfare and prosperity Of the
community.
