graphed to the Indianapolis Sun Inde.
pendent) yesterday afternoon, brands
as lie the statement in an Indianap,
oils morning paper that Hearst had
decided to abandon the Indiana fight
and had recalled his friends from Iais

stick to journalism"
The Washington story says: REP.
resentative Hearst's friends here say
there is no truth in the story published
in the Indianapolis Star to the effect
that Hearst's friends have given up
hope in Indiana"
Charges Dishonesty.
Charges of dishonest politics are
made against Tom Taggart, of French
Lick Springs, Ind, who is recognized
as the democratic leader in Indiana
and who is out and out an anti-Hearst
man. 1t is alleged by the Hearst men
that their opponents ruled the prima
ries yesterday and used dishonest
methods to defeat them. Detectives
have, it, is said, been sent out from
Chicago to investigate and if necessa
ry arrest the men who are responsible
for the alleged steals.
Stick to journalism.
The dispatch which was sent out ali
over the country last night and which
made the Hearst people "sore" bears
an Indianapolis date and is on the
sensational order. 1t says:
''The Indiana managers of the candi
dacy of w. R. Hearst for the demo
cratic presidential nomination are dis
couraged over the sudden change in
plans following the receipt Of the fol
lowing telegram from Mr.. Hearst by
his personal representative, Andrew

"Mr. Lawrence was here from Chi
cago looking over the local situation
preliminary to the primaries today tc
select delegates to the state conven
ton. which will pick delegates to the
national convention. Immediately
upon the receipt of the telegram Law
renee hurried back to Chicago, leaving
the Indiana managers without aid. In
the primaries today not Hearst slate
was elected. The telegram to Law
renee was first received by ]. Oscar
Henderson, the local manager for In
diana, and he unintentionally gave the
full text to an outsider, believing he
was telephOning the message back tc
the Western Union for verifcation
The word horses is believed to have
been 'Hoosiers,' and to have been
changed in transmission. Mr.. Hender

pher and does not mean what it seems
to. He says Hearst will start a news

He promptly g. ed that he wished
words: 1.-The pictures in this house are
supposed to stay on the walls where
they belong. There is traditional su-
perstition against removing them"
Immediately lifted the print from
the floor. No doubt he had me at
disadvantage, If evil was in his heart,
and my position on the hearth was as
dangerous as previous events had
proved 1t to be. But it would not do
to show the white feather at moment
when his fate, if not my own, hung in
the balance; so, motioning him to step
down, put foot on the chair and raised
the picture aloft to hang it. AS l did
so he moved over to the huge settle of
his ancestors and, crossing his arms
over Its back, surveyed me with
smile rather imagined than saw.
Suddenly, as I strained to put the
cord over the NALL he called out:

II he had intended to give me start
In payment for my previous rebuff he
did not succeed, for my nerves had
grown steady and my arm firm at the
glimpse l had caught Of the shelf be-
low me. The fine brown powder had
scattered there had been displaced In
five distinct spots, and not by my fin
gers. l had preferred to risk the loss
Of my balance rather than rest my
hand on the shelf, but he had taken no
such precaution. The clew l so anx-
iously desired and for which l had so
recklessly worked was obtained.
But when, half an hour later found
an opportunity Of measuring these
marks and comparing them with those

umph had promised myself, for the
two Impressions utterly failed to coin
eide, thus proving that whoever the
person was who had been in this house
with Mrs. Jeffrey on the evening she
lied it was not her Uncle David.

first steps in the tickiish experiment
by which hoped to determine wheth-
er Uncle David had had any share in
the fatal business which had rendered
the two rooms / had just visited so
memorable.

kitchen, procured chair and carried it
into the library, where put 1t to use
that to an onlooker's eye would have
appeared very peculiar. Planting it
squarely on the hearthstone-notw with
out some secret perturbation as to
what the results might be to myself
I mounted it and took down the en-
craving which have already described
as hanging over this mantelpiece.
Setting it on end against one Of the
lambs Of the fireplace, I mounted the
chair once more and carefully sifted
over the high shelf the contents of a
little package which had brought with
me for this purpose.
Then, leaving the chair where 1t was,
I betook myself out Of the front door,
ostentatiously stopping to lock it and
to put the key in my pocket.
Crossing Immediately to Mr.. Moore's
side Of the street, encountered him,
as had expected to do, at his own
gateway.

Inspecting the
library fireplace

Nothing was to be seen there but the
marks left by the removal of its base
from the blackened boards.
Disgusted with myself If not with
this object Of my present disappoint-
ment, left that portion Of the room
in which 1t stood and crossed to where
l had found the little table on the night
Of Mrs. Jeffrey's death. 1t was no
longer there. 1t had been set back
against the wall, where 1t properly be-
longed, and the candelabrum removed.
Nor was the kitchen chair any longer
to be seen near the bookshelves. This
fact small as It was, caused me an In
slant of chagrtn. had intended to
look again at the book which had ex-
amined with such unsatisfactory re-
suits the time before. A glance showed
me that this book had been pushed
back level with the others. But I re-
membered its title, and had the means
of reaching 1t been at hand l should
certainly have stolen another peep at

Upstairs / found the same signs of
police interference. The shutter had
been fastened in the southwest room
and the bouquet and wrap taken away
from the bed. The handkerchief also
was missing from the mantel where
had left 1t. and when opened the clos
ct door 1t was to find the floor bare and
the second candelabrum and candle re-
moved.
"All gone," thought leach and ev-
cry clew."
But was mistaken. In another mo-
msnt came upon the minute filings I
had before observed scattered over a
small stand. Concluding from this
that they had been passed over by Dur.
bin and his associates as valueless,
swept them, together with the dust In
which they lay. into an old envelope I
happily found in my pocket. Then 1
crossed to the mantel and made close
inspection Of its now empty shelf. The
scratches which had made there We're
visible enough, but the impressions for
which they stood had vanished in the
handling which everything in the house
had undergone. Regarding with great
thankfulness the result of my own
foresight, made haste to leave the
room. 4 then proceeded to take my

signalized them. eff 1t partakes in the
slightest degree Of the feelings of its
owner, I can vouch for its impatience
at the free use which is made of its

intrusions necessary? Now that Mrs.

you feel that the scene Of her demise

Big Expense to Move Crops.

The statement issued by the comp
troller Of the currency shows that con.
siderable money will be required in the
west to move the big crop of this
year. Every year money is required
from the east to handle the enormous
crops of the west. This is not because
these sections are necessarily hard
up, but because of the enormous extent
of the business, requiring such large
sums in so short a time. Every year

in the way of meat. The demand for
poultry in the east is not so strong,
nor will it be until the winter packing
season opens. While there was q

CHAPTER VII.
"HE next morning my duty led
me directly in the way Of that
little friend of mine whom I
have already mentioned. 1t is
strange how often my duty did lead
me in her way.
She is demure little creature, with
wits as bright as her eyes, which is
saying a great deal, and, while in the
course Of our long friendship had ad-
mired without making use of the spe-
cial abilities saw in her, I felt that
the time had now come when they
might prove Of inestimable value to
me.
Greeting her with pardonable abrupt
ness, I expressed my wishes in these
possibly alarming words:
