bitterly. why did we let him get
away?"
This man has been dead for several
hours" said the young doctor in low
tone.
As long ago as ten o'clock last night? -
asked Haynes.
Very probably"
What killed him: the crushing of the
skull or the stab-wound?"
Whichever came first.
Assuming the correctness of your
hypothesis. that this unhappy man
rushed into the oak-patch from the other
side, Mr.. Haynes, how is the fact that
we find the body here, several rods
distant from the apparent end of his
flight, to be explained" asked the pro-
fessor.
"On the ground that he rushed out
again, " replied the reporter dryly.
Then you discerned returning foot
prints?"
No; there was none there, so far as l
could see
And there are none here, said Cotton,
who had been examining the CRASHES
soil under the thick canopy. But see
how the thicket is broken, almost as if
he had flung himself upon it. Haynes!
What's wrong?"
Without any warning the reporter had
thrown up his hands and fallen at full
length into the oak They rushed to
his aid, but he was up at once
Don't be alarmed he said smiling
I'm all right. Just an experiment
shall 60 over with this man to make some
inquiries at the fishing colony and ar
range for the disposal of the body. 1t
may take me all day. In that case, I'll
see you this evening"
He took the fisherman by the arm
The man seemed dazed with horror, and
went along with hanging jaw. Cotton
and Professor Ravenden returned to
Third House, in pondering silence.
At the house Dick found himself suffer-
ing from a return of his own restlessness.
In the afternoon he saw Miss Ravenden,
but she evaded even the necessity of
speaking to him. With vague hope of
finding some fresh clue, he returned to
the lake, and studied the land not only
near the spot where the kites had fallen
but between there and the sea-cliff,
without finding anything to tighten the
mystery.
At nine o'clock Haynes came in, ap-
pearing pale and tired, and stopped at
Dicks room.
They have arranged to ship Mr. Ely's
body back to Connecticut where he
lived he said. The fishermen are in
a state of almost superstitious terror"
Anything new?"
Yes and no. It's too indefinite to
talk about. What little there is only
tends to make the whole question more
fantastic and less possible. l can't talk
about it tonight"
Cotton looked at him. No" he said
You certainly ought not to. You
need sleep, and you need it badly. Any
pain?"
"Oh, the usual A little more, per
haps."
Take this, - said the other, giving him
powder 'That1l fix you. l wish it
would me; feel tonight as if sleep had
become a lost art. "

Long about ha'-past seven. Looked

come again so uneasy, just before that
shower. But no Mr. Ely"
Is that one of his kites?" asked the
reporter, pointing to the broken rhomboid
which he had laid in the long grass.

"Whered you find it?"

While they were talking Professor
Ravenden had been making a rapid cal
culatiOn on pad.
Il believe that l can lead you ap-
proximately to the point whence these
kites were flown" he said will you
follow me?"
For more than a mile, the small and
slight professor set them an astonishing
pace. Presently he stopped short and
picked UP the end of string at the foot
of a small hillock.
This also seems to have been cut, - he
said and followed its course.
Beyond the knoll was a hollow, and
on the slope Of this a small windlass.
That's his'n!' cried the fisherman.
But where's he?"
HAYNES walked over to a small oak
patch beyond. For several yards in from
the edge the shrubbery showed, by its
bent twigs, the passage of large body.
Patches Of cloth on the twigs told that a
man had torn through in hot haste.
On the soil underneath were footprints.
But at the end of the path and the foot
prints was nothing
Look here" Haynes exclaimed. He
rushed in here to escape something.
Here's where the trail ends. You can

1t was the fisherman on the other side
Of the oak-Patch. They ran around and
found him bending over a body almost
hidden in the edge OF the thicket, where
the shrub was low
That's Mr. Elyl" he cried. He's
been murdered"
The head was crushed in as by
terrific blow. Near the right shoulder
the arm-bone protruded from the flesh.
Cotton lifted the corpse, and there through
the breast was the same kind of cash that
had slain Petersen
Its that cursed juggler, said Haynes

Dudley Sinclair was a good-natnred
bachelor who liked boys, always had a
kind word for them and they in turn were
fond OF him. He told them stories, fished
with them, knew where berries were to be
found and was as companionable as
though of their age and size. The writer
looks back upon the time when he shared
his friendship and enjoyed his companion
ship, as bright periods in his early life.

ELLSWORTH MARKETS.
Thanksgiving Boosts the Prices,
With Turkeys on Top.

These are Thanksgiving days in the Els
worth markets, but the ''provider" who
has to pay 30 cents pound for his turkey
and 40 cents dozen for eggs is not apt to
feel very thankful.
Way out in the big, indefinite West
somewhere somebody mas got a corner on
the turkey market, and it's pretty poor
Yankee turkey-raiser who wouldn't take
advantage of that western corner And
so we poor folks way down here in Els
worth who have to eat turkey on Thanks
giving Day, have to go hungry a week Or
two before Thanksgiving to save money
enough to pay for turkey. This year the
price of Western turkeys in Ellsworth is
Is cts, while ''natives" cost cents more.
Eggs have offered the usual Thanksgiv-
ing Day excuse, and jumped up to 40
cents. There may be an easing off after
Thanksgiving, but eggs are scarce, and
the price may hold until Christmas.
Potatoes are up little, though some
dealers still quote 80 cents a bushel. The
prevailing price is 20 cents, which Will
probably rule for the greater part of the
winter.
There is general advance all along the
vegetable line. Pumpkins, squash, sweet
potatoes, and cabbage are in the process
sion.
For the man who has horses to feed,
corn is here, and the price OF hundred
pound bag in Ellsworth has dropped from
Il 40 to = 30.
The quotations below give the range of
retail prices in Ellsworth.
