For an instant imagined that Ban

I soon saw that the intruder had left
other traces of his presence besides the
rumpled papers. On the table in the
window were several shreds from a
pencil which had been sharpened. A
broken tip Of lead was lying there also.
Evidently the rascal had copied the
paper in a great hurry, had broken his
pencil and had been compelled to put
a fresh point to it."

and put friend Soames out of his pain"
The unfortunate tutor was certainly
in a state Of pitiable agitation when we
found him in his chambers. In few
hours the examination would COM
mence, and he was still in the dilemma
between making the facts public and
allowing the culprit to compete for the
valuable scholarship. He could hardly
stand still, so great was his mental agi-
tation, and he ran toward Holmes with
two eager hands outstretched.
"Thank heaven that you have Gomez!

"Yes, let it proceed, by all means"

Bannister entered and shrank back
IN evident surprise and fear at our jul
dicial appearance.
''You will kindly close the door, said
Holmes. "Now, Bannister, will you
please tell us the truth about yester-

The man turned white to the roots of
his hair.

There were only four stationers of
any consequence in the town, and at
each Holmes produced his pencil chips
and bid high for a duplicate. All were
agreed that one could be ordered, but
that it was not a usual size of pencil
and that it was seldom kept in stock.

shoulders in half humorous resigna-

Holmes made no further allusion to

in thought for long time after our be-

came into my room just as I finished

suddenly the happy thought occurred to
me that you were in the town, and

Holmes, rising and putting on his over

Hoo 80 DAYS in a Well.

Howard c. Garrison, a prominent
farmer Of this county, was in town
recently and had a remarkable incl
dent to relate. On the night OF the
18th of June ne lost fine 800 pound
hog. He searched high and low, but
could not find trace Of the animal.
He finally gave up the hunt, coup
ling the disappearance of the hog with
some emancipation day barbecue.
Some one had occasion to look in an
old dry well, ten or twelve deep and
100 or 200 yards from his house. At
the bottom he discovered the hog, ap-
parently unhurt. It had been in the
we'll thirty-two days without food or
water.
Mr.. Garrison threw down an ear OF
corn, but the hog would not eat. He
then lowered bucket of milk and
bran mixture, which proved to be
more to his hogship's taste. Mr.. Gar
rison has decided to feed the hog
down in the well for a day or two,
and then raise it out by filing in the
