Nothing was to be seen there but the
marks left by the removal Of its base
from the blackened boards.
Disguised with myself If not with
this object of my present disappoint-
ment, l left that portion of the room
In which it stood and crossed to where
I 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 it 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 chagrin. 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 1 re-
membered its title, and had the means
OF reaching it been at hand I should
certainly have stolen another peep at
It,
Upstairs l 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 1
had left 1t, and when opened the clos
ct door it was to find the floor bare and
the second candelabrum and candle re-
moved.
"All gone" thought Teach and ev-
cry clew."
But was mistaken. In another mo-
ment 1 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, I
swept them, together with the dust in
which they .ay. into an old envelope I
happily found In my pocket. Then I
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
thankfulneS the result Of my own
foresight I mada haste to leave thu

TEACHERS MEET At MANILA

AT Manila last Saturday was held
one OF the most successful teachers
and patrons meetings that this corner
OF our county has had for many years.
twenty-five teachers were present to-
gether with about thirty or forty
school patrons. Besides these there
were present about twenty-five school
children bringing the attendance up to
about ninety or a hundred. This has
been the best attended district meeting
thus far held in the county. In point
OF numbers it beats the Denison meet
ing by some odds Besides Manila S
excellent schools the people have a
fine live school spirit and Prof.
Richter and his teachers had it
thoroughly aroused last Saturday. A
few OF the patrons present and taking
part in the discussion were Messrs
MacMurtry, Stephens. Robertson.
Campbell, Jackson, Brokaw and SUIT
ton and Mrs. Stephens. Among the
many good thing on the program there
were good, strong, helpful papers and
talks by Misses Emma Brown, Lottye
woodward. Susie Gibbs, Name Pros
ser and Messrs. Mitchell, Richter,
Jackson, Sutton and Hoffman.
A remarkable number was a exercise
by fourteen girls with music and bells
which they rang with almost perfect
RHYTHM. These were from MISS Gibbs
room.
All but three of the teachers in this
district were present, the best record
thus far of any district meeting in the
county

appeared very peculiar. Planting It
squarely on the hearthstone-notw with

what the results might be to myself

craving which have already described
as hanging over this manteIpiece.

lambs of the fireplace. mounted the
chair once more and carefully sifted
over the high shelf the contents OF q

me for this purpose.
Then, leaving the chair where 1t was,
betook myself out Of the front door,
ostentatiously stopping to lock It and
to put the key in my pocket.

A SUCCESSFUL RECITAL.

The recital given by the pupils of
Miss Lille Raine last Wednesday
evening at the college chapel, to her
friends and patrons was a great tri-
umph for both Miss Raine and her
pupils.
Each number was we'll rendered,
showing a great deal of talent.

all speak highly of Miss Raine's abil-

The words came as easily from his
lips as if his practice in affability had
been of the very longest.
II wonder how the old place enjoys
its present Distinction" he went on,
running his eye over the dilapidated
walls under which we stood, with very
evident pride in their vast proportions
and the air Of gloomy grandeur which
signalized them. "If it partakes in the
slightest degree Of the feelings of it's
owner, l can vouch for its impotence
at the free use which is made of it's
time worn rooms and halls Are these
1ntrusions necessary? Now that Mrs.
Jefrey's body has been removed, do
you feel that the scene Of her demise
need hold the attention Of the police
any longer?"
"That is a question to put to the su-
perfntendent and not to me-" was my
deprecatory reply. '"The major has is
sued no orders for the watch to be
taken off, so we men have no choice
I am sorry If it offends you. Doubt
less few days will end the matter,
and the keys will be given into your
hand. I suppose you are anxious to
move in?"
he cast a glance behind him at his
dog, gave whistle, which passed un-
needed, and replied, with dignity, if
but little heart:
when man has passed his seventh
decade he is not apt to be so patient
with delay as when he has prospect
OF many years before him. I am anx-
tous to enter my own house-yes. I
have much to do there"
remounted the steps, careiessly re-
marking:
"Ill see you again after taking a
turn through the house. If I discover
anything, ghost marks or human
marks which might be Of interest to
you, I'll let you know"
1t was necessary for the success Of
my plan that some time should elapse
before I reapproached Mr.. Moore. 1
therefore kept my word to him and
satisfied my own curiosity by taking a
fresh tour through the house. Natural

there. Not only had the fender been
drawn out and the crate set aside, but
the huge settle had been wrenched
free from the mantel and dragged into
the center of the room. Rather pleas
ed at this change, for with all my ap-
parent bravado I did not enjoy too
close proximity to the cruel hearth
stone, stopped to give this settle a
thorough investigation. The result was
disappointing. To all appearance-and
I did not spare it the experiment Of
many thump and knock-it was per-

clumsy of build, but solid and absolute

plain the tragedies which had occurred

musty old cushion and shut my eyes,

sions or disturbance Of any sort. Nor
did the floor where it had stood yield
any better results to the inQuiring eye.

ANNUAL FALL TRACK MEET.
No Handicaps Will be GiyenGrea Opportunity for New Men.

No Handicaps Will be Given Great Opportunity for New Men.
 On Saturday, October IA, the annual fall track meet will be held, beginning at 2 o'clock. The contestants in this meet will not be handicapped as has been the rule in former years, and all will start scratch in each event. Fur thermore no man who has won his Y in the track may compete. For these reasons the new men will have an ops portunity for showing what they can really do. As the period of training is of necessity short, all the distances be- tween the 200 yard dash will be short ened in order that the endurance of the men competing may not be overtaxed. The fact that the distances are to be shortened and that the Y men and most of the Y. A. A. men will not com pete, ought to prove suf1feient induce rnent to every man who has any abil- ity, whether or not he has had any previous experience, to come out and train for this meet. The meet will comprise the following events: 100 yards dash, 22O yards dash, $50 yards dash,s 660 yards run, three quarter mile run, 70 yard high hurdles (ffve fiights), 120 yards low hurdles (five fIights) high jump, broad jump, pole vault, shot put, and hammer 1 throw.
 Cups will be given to the winners of first, second and third places.
