Holmes. My system is to give my attention to
the person who benefits most from a crime. And
| have never drawn blank yet
We'll now said Bradshaw to Lester, Il was
just telling this unerring sleuth-hound of some
pecuarities which had struck in the conduct
of that blatant Britsher Warren. Don't wink the
nap off your eyelids at me, friend Brading, Just
at present | purpose to make my calculations on
the basis that DR.. Lester is square man, and if
YOU don't like it you do the other thing, for
the proposition is my own. Now, Lester | have
also been telling friend here about that poacher
fellow whose extraordinary OF wealth have
both noticed. And | have further drawn his atten-
tiOn to the fact that Harry Warren is drinking
great deal more than anyone takes out of mere devo
ton to liquor. He gives the impression of man
harassed that he is endeavOring all the time to
escape from his vicinity. l inclined to at
tribute all this to the workings of troublesome
imp called conscience which read about in fairy
tales.
Another thing, 1 have made some considerable
study of Arncliffe Hall lately, and I notice there
is light in of the rooms half through the night
conscience again. People who live in a sleepy
hollow like this 90 to bed early in the hope of dream
ing they are alive. So, think, if could take
peep into that room, should something to
enlighten us
What room is it?' asked Brading.
The room just over the study where old Angler
got soaked on the cdbeza
Bradshaw had spent his early days amid that
delightful society which infests the vicinity OF the
Rio Grande. When talking of deeds OF violence, he
had a habit of introducing here and there a word
of Spanish.

Leigh Now go away, boy, and leave Brading and
myself to elaborate our 1ow-down plans"
Lester, half offended, yet conscious that Brad
shaw in the right, went downstairs; but there
was no sign of the poacher and having nothing
better to do, the young doctor presently went to
bed to dream of Edith.
Bradshaw and the detective, both naturally
taciturn remained silent for long time, consider
ing the position. There really little to go upon
A light in a window at unusual hours light have
dozen adequate explanations The mere events
which had happened at the Hall would be enough
under ordinary circumstances to account for the
sleeplessness of an elderly to whom Arm
cliffe Hall had practically represented the world
for many years.
But Bradng, finding himself at something of a
loss was ready follow the slightest clue. There
was a reward of ten thousand pounds at stake and
the hanging of an innocent person would be z cheap
price to pay for half the money. Bradshaw, like
Lester had declined from the beginning to admit
even a possibility of Ediths guilt but he realized
nevertheless that there negative evidence in
existence against her which, though it might not
place her life in peril yet might embitter it irrev-
ocably. And as far as lay inh is power he resolved
to save her.

pause There is a tree which looks very cOnVcn-
ient1y into that window. a boy who is accustomed

Perhaps" interrupted Brading acdly, You
could suggest something suitable to a man OF forty
five who suffers from rheumatism?"

so [ supposed. But what
special cares has Mrs. Warren to
keep her up SO late? l first
noticed this burning of the mid
night oil on the night of the
attack on Angler As you know,
DR.. Lester, | waited until you
decided that your patient was out
of immediate danger; and then
we came back here together,
nearly at daylight. 1t was reason
able enough that Mrs. Warren
should remain awake on that oc-
casion, and | should have thought
nothing further of the matter, had
not the same thing been repeated
night after night. l watched
round about the Hall-partly be-
cause this business has interested
me, and partly because | have
been doing a little detective busi-
ness on my own account. | sur-
mise this much: that Mrs. Warren
waits up to talk with that hopeful
son of hers. And | am inclined to
think that a little knowledge of the
situation on our part would pro-
duce whole lot of information"
g don't like spying" objected
Lester, a note of decision in his
voice.
Neither do l" retorted Brad
shaw; but l should like still less
for that winsome young girl to
be charged with murder, as Brad
ing proposes. Anyway, it is not
your funeral. l am only telling
you a plan of my own"
eff there is anything I can
do to help Miss Holt" began
Lester eagerly.
Well. it doesn't need a stack
of us to spy on one window, but
if you really want to do violence
TO your nlSh-tOned 1ee1nSS, you
might just go and mix some liquor
with the wealthy gentleman they
call Leigh, and shadow him home
too. l wouldn't be at all sur-
prised if that skunk Warren
dropped into the game before
you are through"
Bradshaw looked at his watch.

can laconcally, pushing the whisky
decanter invitingly toward his new
visitor.
Brading, unaware that Lester was
acquainted with his theft of Edith's
second letter, responded to the young
doctors curt nod with the ingratiating !
smile of one who would have bvgones
be bygones.
Well said Lester in biting
accents, addressing himself to the =
detective, may l ask if you have
posted that other letter of Miss /
Holt's, or whether you have appro- |
priated for your own use the draft I
contained in it >
For once Brading's inscrutable
countenance betrayed emotion. He
went deathly pale. and the excuse
that was trembling on his lips gave
place to the truthfulness of honest
indignation. Il don't think I have

OF natural dignity. Miss Holt's letter,

The answer came from Lester, who fou

he has been tampering with the post-o
order 20 get hold of Miss Holt's private

Professor Cation, the leading business
educator, President of Cation College,
submits AN interesting problem to
graduates of the public schools. Parents
are requested to assist their sons and
daughters in working the following
problem:
I'm August, 1901, Henry and James,
eighth grade Of our public schools.
Henry entered the Cation Business Col
lege for course in bookkeeping,
stenography and associate studies.
James entered the high school, from
which he will graduate next June.
Henry, after eight months, had COM
pleted the business and stenographic
at $l0 per week. Within three months
ne received $50 per month. Before the
end of the year his salary was increased
to $65 per month. The past year he
has received $75 per month. Both
boys lived at home, and neither were
charged for living expenses. Henry
early commenced to invest his salary
in western land and today owns $50
acres worth $15 per acre, some of which
worth today about $4,000, has a splen-
did business education, a good stand
! ing with his firm, and is on the high
road to a most successful business
career. James can talk entertainingly
for about five minutes on ancient his
tory, knows little Latin, less Greek
something, he thinks, about the sun
moon and stars; can tell what Cesar
said and did twenty-fv hundred years
ago, but knows nothing about what
business men are doing today
| Now, the problem is: Which boy pur
sued the wisest course, and why7 Which
boy is likely to be the most valuable

and to his family, and why's

.COMBES MINISTRY
DECIDES TO QUIT
Cutlery Against Secret Reports
on Army Officers Lives
Leads to Change.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The ministry of M.
Combes, after emerging from it's bitter
midnight struggle in the chamber of
deputies with a majority Of ten on a
vote supporting the declaration Of the
ministers, has decided to abondon the
field while some portion of it's prestige
still remains, and has signihed its in
tention Of resigning after tempestu-
GUS career Of three years only.
the presentation of the designations of
the ministers has been deferred until
Wednesday morning. President Loubet
will begin on Wednesday afternoon con-
situations for the formation of new
ministry.
Rouvier Next Chief.
NJ. Rouvier appears to be practically
decided upon as the future chief of the
has asked M. Delcasse and M. Ber-
teaux to retain the foreign and war
portfolios respectively.
Friends of the ministry maintain that
its retirement is voluntary, as M
Combes has succeeded in resisting the
effort to compel his fall. The opposi.
ton, however, halls the decision, as a
victory, claiming that the small ma.
jorities for the ministry Saturday night
left M. Combes shorn of effective
strength to carry out his policies.
The effect Of the change upon the
government s policies is not considered
to be great. The new ministry will
have the same majority as that sup
lporting Premier Combes, and so there
cannot be radical change.
The issue which proved most decisive
in fastening the resignation Of the min
listers was the popular cutlery against
secret reports on the lives of army
officers. The change will undoubtedly
insure the abandonment Of the last
vestige of this system.
