Bothamley's history. and this investi

me TO conceal my identity or nay mis-
sion. The Ruth brothers placed their
services at my disposal From them I
ascertained that Bailey had deposited
several thousand dollars in the bank
when he first came to De smet and
that he had withdrawn il soon after
ward. From the same source I learned
OF the arrival and departure OF the
baileys and Of the gossip that attended
the disappearance Of the lawyer.
The facts gathered Up to that time
touching the career of Nellie Bailey
were such as TO strengthen my rapidly
forming opinion that the woman was
capable Of deeds more desperate than

In the meantime a woman in De
Smet had been found who had had a
letter from Mrs. Bailey in which the
latter said her husband had Just spent
some time with her in Elgin. This
indicated two things: First. that Mrs
Bailey bad really gone TO EIgin. and
second. that she believed it expedient
TO keep alive in De Smet the belief that
her husband was living. Therefore
went 10 Elsin.
No difhcuity was experienced in find
ing that Mrs. Bailey had stopped with
one aunt for two days. leaving 60 90,
TO another aunt, with whom she had
spent six weeks. 1t required some eau

fact that Nellie Bailey had broughe

ried by him and bearing his name.
I reasoned that II Shannon Bailey had
been alive it was altogether improb-
able that his wife would be in possess
sion Of the watch. especially as she had
reliable timepiece of her own. Her
possession of other trinkets formerly
used by her husband gave additional
color to the theory that Bailey was
dead
Then this fact was learned: The
aunt with whom she was visiting had
daughter about Mrs. Bailey's age.
and one day the two had gone fish

she took a package from the bosom OF
her dress and gave it to her aunt with

| Teachers Of Swimming Explain Why New
York's Swimming Schools Are Inferior
TO Those OF Sweden Alleged self.Con'
fdenco and Indifference Of Pupils.
Referring to the many drowning acci-
dents which have occurred in the vicinity
OF New York thi, gu miner, a Swedish pro-
fessor Of athletics now over here Is quoted
as saying:
Stockholm Is far ahead Of New York
in It's swimming schools and methods OF
teaching. In the schools there pupils are
taught to swim with their clothes and shoes
on and with weights attached. They are
taught to swim and float with bound hands
and feet, and to undress In the water.
Life saving is also taught, both rescued
and rescuer being fully dressed
In the United States, he declared, the
most important branches Of the art Of swim
ming were passed over.
In the main, New York's swimming
teachers agree with the Swedish professor,
although none will admit his own inability
to teach any sort Of swimming stunts
taught anywhere in the world. II, say
they, New Yorkers don't know how to
swim and will run the risk of getting
drowned, it Is not the fault Of the swimming
teachers.
AS a rule, New Workers attach
no more importance to swimming
lessons than they do to q course
Of lessons in bridge whist or
gof," remarked ono teacher.
in fact, most Of them will pay
a good deal more to learn bridge
or golf than to learn to swim.
. an my opinion not one pupil
in fifty takes lessons for any
other reason than the fun he or
she gets out Of them. The am
" bition Of most is satisfied when
IN able to swim easily few yards
IN and to float face upward.
~ 1T may be true that the most
NV important features of swimming
I'M are not taught in the United
States, but il 80 the reason is
N Nv simply that people don't want
MAN. to learn those features and not
INV that American teachers are not
\VU( willing and able to teach them.
