IT was early morning, and
Captain Lafayette Chesaby
1 Of Chesabv Hall, Southern
Virginia. filled an easy-chair
on the cool veranda overlook
ing his broad fair acres. There
was not a cloud IN the pale
blue sky. Bright sunlight flood

which sparkled on every green
leaf and blade of grass.

But the master of Chesaby

serenity. He held a small
nickel button between his
thumb and foreflnger, and his
face wore a perplexed frown-
He was wrestling with a
problem in circumstantial evil
dence. He had come across
that button a few moments
before, lying just within the
wine-closet in the hallway be-
hind him, and he was now
pulling to place its owner

AS he spoke, the Captains eyes wandered casually
up and down the two rows of nickel buttons which
shone on the breast of the negro's coat, but they
betrayed no sign when they beheld one missing.
1t was ten o'clock that same morning when the
Captains wife and daughter Sally drove away to
town in the family turnout and shortly after dinner

direction of the spring branch which ldled along

kitchen but the other houseervants had despatched
their duties and retired their quarters An air of
deserted tranquility hung about the manor-houSe.
Captain Chesaby struck out over the back lots,
crossed the Collard- patch and field OF corn, and
skirting his way a ne1ghbOrs goober-Patch,
finally reached the friendly shelter OF the tangle
which marked the bank of the spring branch Here
he fingered only long enough to secrete his pole in
the canes and catch his breath. Then he turned
right around and went back the way he had come,
taking care not to be seen by any of the dusky
workers about the place before he reached the house
and slid out of sight through the back hall-door.
1t was rather dark in there, and he stood space,

passing thought taking it that OF the servants
afflicted with a sudden cranp chill, had mixed
himself toddy, but the following day fresh stains
had appeared and more whisky disappeared, and
so it had continued until the Captain thoroughly
provoked had made up his mind to give the mis-

such loose methods with his particular and
peculiar property, nor the lndlscr1m1nate use OF
liquors among the irresponsible IN his charge.
So, watching and taking care to give the culprlt
no cause for alarm at last that morning he had been
rewarded with clue; for upon opening the door

In the settlement of the police con- troversy the City Council Is up against two difficult problems.
 One is to get a full meeting of the body, from which a two-thirds vote can be taken and the other is the ap- parent lack of interest in the matter by Councilmen who will retire to pri- vate life May 1.
 It is believed that two or three Coun- cilmen would rather the new Council. recently elected, take up the case of the two suspended policemen, Moseley and Davis, thereby assuming the responsi- bility of the reinstatement or discharge of the members of the police force
 The Advertiser does not state this as a matter of fact or matter of personal opinion or observation, but it is be- lived by many persons that one or two Councilmen have this in view in fail- ing to attend the meetings.
 Those same persons far from approve of this course. In the first place, it Is not justice to the policemen or justice to the city, 1t is argued. Moseley and Davis are under suspension. have been since Monday, March IS, and will be un- til the Council takes action. They should know more about their future prospects on the force, some of the citizens rightfully contend. They ask if the policemen are going to be dis charged why not do it now, and vice versa.
 On the other hand, the delay is re- garded as an injustice to the city. If the polincemen are guilty, 1t Is the opinion of the citizens that they should be dealt with before the matter grows stale and the city officials indifferent
