Geologist Declares Former Avoid lilly Country Where Farms Are

4You never saw cat bathing in the sea-. You never saw tramp in noun tainous country Each spectacle is of equal rarity"
 The speaker. geologist. smiled
 'I know what I am taking about" he said 3In quest of geological truths I have travelled the country over many times, and I have yet to find tramp among the mountains. Tramps avoid mountains as they avoid soap.
 Hence New Hampshire, Vermont and the other mountainous states are singu-. larly free from petty thieving and from all such troubles as hoboes causeIAnd hence, in those states, it is never necesv sary to lock the doors or the windows.
 "Tramps avoid mountainous districts because the walking is all uphill there and because the farms are few and far between. A fertile and flat country, with, the roads good and the farms closa together, suits the tramp"

handled it. From the description given i was very certain that it had been one of the many trinkets I had ob- served lying on the dressing table when l made my first nasty examina- ton of the room on the evening of Mrs. Jeffrey's death. Why had no pre- monition of it's importance as a con meeting link between these tragedies and their mysterious cause come to me at the time when it was within reach of my hand? It was too late now It had been swept away with the other loose objects littering the place, and my opportunity for pursuing this very promising investigation was gone for the night
 Yet it was with a decided feeling of triumph that finally locked the door of this old mansion behind me- Ger tainly had taken step forward since my entrance there, to which I had but to add another of equal importance to merit the attention of the superintend- ent himself

would not enter that room nor look at the gloomy settle from which the gen eral had fallen to his death. The place was virtually tabooed, and, though as the necessity arose it was opened from time to time for great festivities, the shadow it had acquired never left it, and my father hated it's very door un7 til he died. Is it not natural that his daughter should share this feelingY
 'It was, and I said so, but would say no more, though she cast me little appealing looks which acquired an eerie significance from the pressure of her small fingers on my arm and the Wailing sound of the wind which at that moment blew down in one gust, scattering the embers and filling the house with banshee calls. I simply kissed her and advised her to go back with me to England and forget this old house and all it's miserable memories. For that was the sum of the comfort at my poor command. When after an- other restleSs night crept down in the early morning to peer into the dim and unused room whose story had at last learned, cannot say but that I half expected to behold the meager ghost of the unfortunate general rise from the cushions of the prodigious bench over the deserted hearthstone.''
 So much for the passages culled from the book itself. The newspaper ex- cerpts, to which next turned, bore much later date and read as follows:
 "A strange coincidence marks the death of Albert Moore in his brothers house yesterday. He was discovered lying with his head on the identical spot where General Lloyd fell forty years before. It is said that this sud- den demise of man hitherto regarded as model of physical strength and endurance was preceded by a violent altercation with his elder brother! If this is so, the excitement incident upon such break in their usually pleasant relations may account for his sudden death. Edward Moore, aDho Nnfortu- fotely aoas out of the room aohep hts brother succunabed- -some sG9t that he aoas 1e hs gr0sdfGther's room GboUe-was greatly unnerved by this unexpected end to what was probably merely temporary quarrel, and now lies in a critical condition.
 s"The relations between him and the deceased Albert had always been of the most amicable character until they unfortunately fell in love. with the same woman"
 Attached to this was another slip, ap- parently from later paper.
 ''The quarrel between the two broth CTS Moore, just prior to the youngers death, turns out to have been of more serious nature than was first SUD- posed. It has since leaked out that an actual duel was fought at that time between these two on the floor of the

Durbin

demanded that the article be fOund7 Not MT. Jeffrey, who seems to lay little or no stress upon it, but the old man they call Uncle David. He, who to all appearance possessed no interest in his niece's personal property, was on hand the moment these things were carried into her husbands house, with the express intention, it seems, of in- quiring for this gold ball, which he de- clared to be family heirloom. As such it belonged to him as the present holder of the property, and to him only. At tention being thus called to it, it was found to be missing, and as no one but the police seemed to be to blame for its loss the matter was hushed up and would have been regarded as too insig- nificant for comment, the trinket being intrins:cally worthless, if MT. Moore had not continued to make such a fuss about it. This ball, he declared, was worth as much to a Moore as all the rest of his property was bosh, you know-and the folly of these asser- tions and the depth of the passions he displayed whenever the subject was mentioned have maue some Ot us queS- ton if he is the innocent inheritor he has tried to make himself out. At all events, know for a certainty that the district attorney holds his name in re- serve, if the grand jury fails to bring in an indictment against Miss Futile"
 ''The district attorney is wise," re- marked, and fell a-thinking.
 Had this latent suspicion against MT. Moore any solid foundation? Was he the guilty man? The memorandum had come across in the book which had been lately. pulled down from the
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-19
CHAPTER XXI

"NHE next morning I swallowed
 my pride and sought out Dur
 bin. Greeting him in the off
 hand way least likely to de- velop his suspicion, I told him that I had great idea in connection with the Jeffrey case and that the clew to it lay ina little gold ball which Mrs. Jeffrey sometimes wore and upon which she set great store. So far I spoke the truth. It had been given her by some one not MT. Jeffrey-and believed, though I did not know, that it contaiped a miniature portrait which it might be to our advantage to see.
 "You are on a fantastic trail,' he sneered, and that was all s.f
 That, from all it's seeming incense quence, it did hold some place in his mind was evident enough to those who knew him, but that it was within reach or obtainable by any ordinary means was not so plain. Indeed, very soon became convinced that he, for one, had no idea where it was, or after the sug- gestive hint I had given him he would never have wasted half hour on me. What was to do then? Tell my story to the major and depend on him to push the matter to it's proper conclu- sion? Not yet" whispered pride. "Durbin thinks you fool Wait till you can show your whole hand before calling attention to your cards" But it was hard not to betray my excite ment and to act the fool they consid- cred me when the boys twitted me about this famous golden charm and asked what great result had followed my night in the Moore house. But, re- membering that he who laughs last laughs best, and that the cause of mirth was not yet over between Durbin and myself, was able to preserve an im- passive exterior even when came un- der the majors eye. I found myself amply repaid when one of the boys who had studiously avoided chafing me dropped the following words in my ear:
 '.I don't know what your interest is in the small gold charm you were talk ing about, but you have done some good work in this case, and I don't mind telling you what know about it. That little gold ball has caused the po- lice much trouble 1t is on the list of effects found in the room where the candle was seen burning; but when all these petty belongings of Mrs. Jeffrey were gathered up and carried back to her husband, this special one was not to be found among them. It was lost in transit, nor has it ever been seen since. And who do you think it was who called attention to this loss and

T remember the circumstances wel how wellg-down to each and every detail. Our mother had gone back to her room, and the general and my fa- ther, who did not finger over their wine+why should they when the gen eral would not drink ?-had withdrawn to the library at the suggestion of the general, whose last words are yet lin- gering in my ears.
 The time has come for our little talk, said he. Your reception augurs'-

Why remember it I do not know, for Reuben, who was standing where he could look into the library when our father came out and saw the settle and the general sitting at one end of it, was chattering about it in my ear at the very moment our father was giving his orders.
 "Reuben is a man now, and have asked him more than once since then how the general looked at that critical instant. It is important to me, very, very Important, and to him, too, now that he has come to know mans pas sions and temptations. But he will never tell me, never relieve my mind, and I can only hope that there were real signs of illness on the generals brow, for then could feel that all had been right and that his death was the natural result of the great distress he felt at opposing my father in the one desire of his heart. That glimpse which Reuben had of him before he fell has always struck me with strange Dathos.
