J NOT WHAT THEY EXPECTED, BUT

voice that trembled in spite of his eff
forts to the contrary, 81 give you the
solemn word of a man who at least
believes that he speaks the truth.
There has been no murder!"
! But for the excited breathing of the
living in the Office of John Lamm, de-
tective, there was no more sound in
tie moment following this utterance
than there would have been Ii Thorn
as auditors had suddenly become so
many ingenious and lifelike pieces of
waxwork
| The inspector was the first to re-
cover sufficient command Of himself
to trust his voice.
DO you mean to have us believe
that it was suicide?" he demanded,
with scornful incredulity.
81 do not" Thomas returned, de-
cisively. 81 mean to have you believe
that Paul North died from accident,
pure and simple, without the inter
vention of any, second person in any
possible way"
"And is this man." said the still in
credulous inspector, with toss of his
head in Fetridge's direction, supposed
to have knowledge of this fact?"
"Me!" gasped Richard Fetridge. 81
assure you, sir, that haven't the
faintest idea Of what he is talking
| about"
"Umha! And the conspiracy" MUIR
INJURED reproachful voice close to the
reporters ear.
Thomas turned quickly to grasp
Lamm's hand.
my friend, he said, solemnly, 81
am sorry to say that you were quite
right. There was conspiracy You
were shrewdly specializing here one
day as to which person was at the
head Of 1t and which person carried 1t
out; but you fell wide of the truth
there Lamm. Paul North himself was
at the head Of that conspiracy, and
that pitiable woman. his adopted
daughter, was the misguided instru-
ment of perpetuating his vengeance"
Among those who stared at Thomas
there was certainly none whose face
expressed more of bewilderment, dumb
and hopeless, than Richard Fetridge.
Thomas observed this, but the sight
seemed to kindle his Indignation.
And as for the cause of the whole
thing" he said, ut is easily to be
found In the man who entered into an
| intrigue with an adventures for pur-
poses Of his own to completely ruin
the husband of Paul North's daugh-

For the cause Of truth and justice,
interposed Fetridge in a faint voice.
For the family honor and-and my
own"
Thomas turned from him with a
contemptuous shrug of the shoulders.
And yet was he wholly just in con-
| demning this man. whose chief fault
had been that he loved Marion North
| Stackhouse too well to give her up so
long as chance remained of winning

BUSINESS ON THE FARM.


In any well conducted manufacturing
establishment the question Of cost Of
production Is very closely studied. and
no means are left untried to reduce
this cost Of production to the lowest
possible limit. II machine will do
the work of a man, and, besides. do it
better. out goes the man, no matter
what may be the cost of the machine,
and II new machine will do the work
cheaper than the old one, out goes the
old one. We note that there Is very
little Of this thing to be seen on our
farms. where the cost of producing
farm crops and meats is seldom seri-
ously considered. In fact, but few
farmers really know what it costs to
produce a buahel Of corn, a pound Of
butter, beef or pork. If at the end Of
the year they have little money
which no one has a claim on, they fig
ure they are that much ahead. More
than this they cannot tell to save
their lives about their business. It
would be. well to make farming more
Of business proposition.

FAIR PRICES.

The question is, what are fair prices
for farm products and how cheap
should a farmer be able to buy the
commodities which he needs? Taking
1t today at the primary markets, hogs
are worth about cents per pound;
beef, s to 6 cents; butter. % cents;
eggs, is cents; corn, 45 cents per
bushel; oats, 80 cents; hay, Sc per ton.
These commodities produced on land
OF an average value of say $40 per
acre, the farmer pays hand $25 per
month, buys mower for $37, a
harvester for $3.50, wagon for $50, q
buggy for $40. gets fence wire for
8 cents pound and Irvine for 10 cents,
pays to s per cent interest for money
he borrows, and we most seriously
question il in all the county's history
there has ever been time when the
values of commodities were more near
~ balanced, or time when farming
as business was better all round
proposition. Still there are some men
who would like TO sell corn for 81
bushel, buy nails at cent q
pound, and get hired man for So
a month. and SO they keep an ever
lasting howl going up at government
and the existing order Of things.

oFFAL As HOG Foop.

There is a growing protest against
the use Of animal offal as a food for
hogs. The hog is the most cosmopoli-
tan scavenger Of any Of our domestic
animals, save possibly the hen, and,
while we are not prepared to say that
this catering to the hogs carnivorous
tastes units him as food for man, the
knowledge that he has been SO fed and
fattened does something to neutralize
the fetching favor Of boiled ham,
young pig sausage and the toothsome
roast pork and apple sauce. Some of
the states are legislating against this
barbarous method Of feeding the pig
and propose to conf1ne the brute to a
strictly vegetarian diet. This protest
is based mostly upon sentiment, for
we have never yet heard similar pro-
test raised against the hen and proba-
bly, never will, while old biddy Is every
way as carnivorous and indiscriminate
In her feeding as is the hog.

fetal manner emphasized.
81 do profess to some knowledge OF
this case, Mr.. Inspector" returned Mr.
Lamm, land that is the reason why !
made that suggestion just now about
Mr.. Fetridge here"
"Oh, we understand that this is q
complicated affair."" remarked Inspect
or Applebee. I'VE know very well that
Richard Fetridge is not the only per-
son in the case. It's not professional
perhaps, to tell you, Mr.. Lamm, but ii
is fact that headquarters have man
at Swampsoott now, and another impor.
tant arrest has already taken place. Mr.
Fetridge, are you ready?"
Another arrest!" he gasped. "In
the name of heaven, who is it? Who's
Not that unfortunate sufferer at the
North villa?"
The inspector replied to this wild, i'm
by very grim smile.
Mr. Lamm had stepped aside, and In
spector Applebee had already hooked
his arm firmly in Mr.. Fetridge's when
a great noise at the door attracted their
attention.
Angry remonstrance and determined
assertion were contending for the up
per hand, when Mr.. Lamm recog-
nized, or thought he recognized, one
of the voices.
II must go in! must, say!'
1t was Kingman F. Thomas who
spoke the words, and there was no doubt
about 1t. Diminishing all formality, Mr.
Lamm FASTENED to the support Of his
ally, tried and true.
Inspector Applebee, still attached tc
Richard Fetridge in this peculiarly
professional" manner, had not made
up his mind whether or not to rebuke
Mr.. Lamm for his precipitate action
when Kingman F. Thomas entered the
room and joined the trio.
Breathless from his verbal and physi-
cal contest with the guardian of the
portal-himself painting and angry
enough-Thomas could not speak for 9
moment
well, Thomas" said the inspector
testify, what is the matter with you?
Something will be the matter with
youth minute-when tell you what
know" gasped the reporter.
His manner was so unusual and ex.
cited that everybody began to have live
ly misrepresentation.
What do you mean?" asked the in
spector, hastily. do you refer to the
North case?"
Most assuredly do cried Thomas
II am in possession of all the facts
Lock the doors, gentlemen. Every
thing must stay just as it is till have
told my story"
There is no time for stories," said
Applebee. IF you are in possession OF
all the facts, you know who committed
the murder. Tell us in word. Who
was it? Name the man."
There was profound silence in the
room as Kingman F. Thomas, at last
himself again, opened his mouth for
reply.

NouSelul OreOle nad brought into his
Office that fateful morning in May; and
how he must have argued with his
own conscience till he had justified his
course to himself! But, then, allow
ance must be made for the frame Of
mind Of Mr.. Thomas, who was griev-
ously dissatisfied with the outcome Of
the North case.
"And ThornSon Stackhouse?" he
asked. ITO speak more plainly, per-
haps, Albert Runyon. was told that
he was here"
Thornton Stackhouse IS dead" re-
turned the inspector, impatiently. "He
committed suicide this morning. We
are wasting precious time. Mr.. Thorn
as. If what you say is true, it is emil
nently important that should be as
sured of it at once. Tell your story in
the fewest possible words. In the first
place, how did you become possessed
of this information?
Dead" murmured the reporter
He looked about him sharply and the
truth seemed to come to him. He
pointed toward the inner room. "In
there?"
Lamm nodded
What a coincidence"
Everybody noticed that the report
er's lips had turned white. For a
short time he seemed vainly trying to
articulate.
The inspector, unaware of the cause
Of his agitation, again reminded him
impatiently of the flight of time.
Thomas drew himself together with an
effort.
Permit me to sit down." he said
and dropped at once into the nearest
chair. He began to search in an inner
pocket, and drew therefrom a folded
document

quest is reasonable" returned Apple
bee. "If it is, you know very well

WASTE ACRES.

There Is very large acreage Of tho
best land In the northwest tied up am
at present entirely unproductive alonk
the rights Of way of the railroads. In
fact, it il worse than unproductive, az
the cost Of cutting the weed growth
is big ilem Of expense to the railway
companies. We have always believed
that In time, when the roads got on q
better financial footing, efforts would
be made to improve these rights Of
way and at least render them attrac-
tive If not remunerative. Some OF the
roads have commenced work along
this line, one Of the big companies Of
the west having commenced system
Of leasing such rights of way to farm
ers owning adjoining land at nomi-
nal rental, the conditions being that the
land Is to be plowed and seeded down
to tame grasses and be moved and
kept trimmed up. Something Of the
same sort should be done with the
wagon roads. AS it is now, with the
four rod road in common use, there Is q
similar and far more extensive waste
Of good soil. We can see no good rea-
son why, after the road is properly
graded to width of thirty or forty
feet, the rest of the highway should
not pass under the control of the adj
jacent land owner to be cultivated as
part of his field. This plan has been
adopted in few localities with the
best results. Waste acres are made
thereby productive and the appearance
of the highway and the adjoining farms
is immensely improved. The progress
Of the country in the coming years is
going to lie along just such lines-ths
utilization Of waste resources.
