Jeffrey tells his story

more than any word of yours, will
!! settle this question which otherwise
may prove a vexed one"
Mr.. Jeffrey's hand went up to his
head Was he acting a part or did
he really forget just what it was for
his own best welfare to remember? If
he had forgotten, it argued that he was
in state of greater disturbance on
that night than would naturally be oc-
rasioned by q mere lovers quarrel with
his wife.
Did the same thought strike my COM
panion? I cannot say; l can only give
you his next words:
"You have said that your wife would
not be likely to end her life in presence
If any one but yourself. Yet you must
zee that some one was with her. How
do you propose to reconcile your asser-
tions with fact so undeniable"
II cannot reconcile them. 1t would
madden me to try. If I thought any one
was with her at that moment"-
"Well?"
Mr.. Jeffrey's eyes fell, and startling
change passed over him. But before
either of US could make out just what
this change betokened he recovered his
aspect of fixed melancholy and quietly
remarked:
"It is dreadful to think of her stand
ing there alone, aiming pistol at her
young, passionate heart. but it is worse
to picture her doing this under the
gaze of unsympathizing eyes. I cannot
and will not so picture her. You have
been misled by appearances or what in
police parlance is called q clew."
Evidently he did not mean to admit
the possibility Of the pistol having
been fired by any other hand than her
own. This the coroner noted. Bow
ing with the respect he showed every
man before a jury had decided upon
his guilt, he turned toward the door
out of which had already hurried.
"We hope to hear S.. you in the
morning." he called b,,sSS> significantly
as he stepped down the stairs.
Mr.. Jeffrey did not answer; he was
having his first struggle with the new
and terrible prospect awaiting him at
the approaching inquest.

"UE days of my obscurity were
over. Henceforth 1 was re-
garded as a decided factor in
this caSe-a case which from
this time on assumed another aspect
both at headquarters and in the minds
Of people at large. The reporters,
whom we had hitherto managed to
hold in check, now overfOwed both the
coroner's Office and police headquar-
ters, and articles appeared in all the
daily papers with just enough sugges-
ton in them to fire the public mind and
make me, for one, anticipate an imme-
date word from Mr. Jeffrey calcula ted
to establish the alibi he had failed to
make out on the day we talked with
him. But no such word came. His
memory still played him false. and no
official inquiry in the line suggested by
the interview just recounted.
NO proceeding in which l had ever
been engaged interested me as did this
inquest In the first place, the spec
tators were Of very different charac-
ter from the ordinary. AS I wormed
myself along to the seat accorded to
such witnesses as myself brushed by
men of the very highest station and
few Of the lowest and bent my head
more than once in response to the in
quiring gaze of some fashionable lady
who never before, warrant, had found
herself in such a scene. BY the time |
reached my place all the others were
seated, and the coroner raped for or
der.
1 was first to take the stand. What
1 said has already been fully amplified
in the foregoing pages. OF course, my
evidence was confined to facts, but
some of these facts were new to most
of the persons there. 1t was evident
that a considerable effect was pro-
duced by them, not only on the specta-
tors, but upon the witnesses them
selves. For instance, it was the first
time that the marks on the mantelshelf
had been heard of outside the majors

The Small Caliber Rifle a Humane
 Weapon.

Evidence accumulates that the modern small bore rife is the most humane instrument yer used in war. The percentage of recoveries among the wounded is surprisingly large. A correspondent of th> London Stand ard cabled on June 30 that he had just visited the Japanese hospital at Matsuyma, in which several hundred wounded Russian prisoners are receiv- ing treatment. He found that five hundred and eight wounded prisoners had been admitted to the hospital practically all of whom suffered from wounds. inflicted from small arms" Two hundred and nine had been dis charged as completely cured. The correspondent found tket at the time of his visit thirty-seyen officers and two hundred and forty-fve privates were under treatment, all of whom were considered likely to recover.
 This record not only makes a won derful showing in favor of the small caliber bullet but it is evidence of the remarkable efficiency of the Japanese hospital service.

If a man intends to be president of the United States, the first thing is to be born in Ohio. In 1868, 1872, 1875, 1880, 1888. 1892, 1896 and 1900 at least one candidate on the republican ticket was a native of the Buckeye state and no departure from the custom was made this year. Tn 1892 both candi- dates on the ticket-Harrison and Reid-were Ohio men. Only in 1884, when Blaine and Logan were the nom inees, was the uniform record broken Not only does the office seek the Ohio man, but the Ohio man seeks the office and one or the other of these facts may account for Ohio luck

There Is no branch of industry
which offers larger financial returns
than the cultivation of fruit. espe-
cially apples, and the greater the
number and the larger the orchards
the better prospects for success.
a larger number and better class
of buyers will be attracted to our
county, better prices will be OBJ
tanned, greater facilities for ship
ment and better rates secured.
An organization like that Just
started will greatly assist in obtain
ing all those advantages, and will
advance the interest in many other
ways of the careful orchardist.
We believe the meeting on Octo-

the membership greatly increased.
