How Incompatible with the theory
of suicide ara The closed blinds in
Mrs. Killers rooms and the use Of
this wrongly labelled bottle The neigh
boris say they positively noticed that
the tell-tale blinds were closed on the
fateful morning before they had heard
that Mr. Edwards was shot. They had
been accustomed for years TO see these
blinds open. One Of them was almost
fastened open by a huge vine which
had grown over it,
Why should man contemplating
suicide take the trouble to close these
blinds? Yet no one else in the house
closed them, according TO their state
ment

ing into consideration the testimony
that Two shots were heard. has not
been recovered A mark found in The
door iamb did not contain the bullet
as has been supposed. Therefore
there is a possibility that the first
bullet. if two were fired as alleged was
fired into the air
One other puzzling feature is the
blood stains. From the bottom of the
stairs TO the top and for a short dis
lance along the hallway above, drops
of blood were found in zigzag line
They are generally in the centre OF

Hard to Explain.
On he wall--and on the right hand ;

If Mr. Edwards had. for instance, been
dragged mp the stairs, thus bringing

lists remain silent, and apparently
doubt the possibility Of such a feature

The Island Of Rats


copyright. 1905, by Homer sprague.1
Between the Philippines and Borneo
D. a group of small islands. In 1880
me touched at one Of them, and the
natives reported white woman
among them. We induced them to
bring her to US. While dressed as a
native, her face was scarcely more
than sunburned, and she was what
any one would call handsome. She
was only about thirty years old ana
In the best Of health, Her story was
queer one. She was a resident OF
Saigon, capital Of French Cochin China,
-Four years previous she had married q
Frenchman named Du Gin and al
most at once had set out with him in
sailing vessel for Singapore Two
days after sailing they had encounter
ed a typhoon. She was not very clear
as to what followed, being very iii at
the time. She thought the ship strug-
gled with the storm for two days. She
then sprung a leak aud foundered.
The woman had been brought on deck
and dashed to the bnlwarks along with
her husband while the crew Were try.
ing to construct some sort Of craft.
Al great wave suddenly overwhelmed
them, and the next that Mrs. Du Cllf
remembered was waking up on the
shore of an island She was still
dashed to the wreckage, but she was
alone When she was able to move
about she found fresh water aud plen-
~ OF wild fruits, and in the forest she
constructed a hut out of limbs and
bushes. Every day for long months
she expected rescue. She could see
ships sailing up and down, but none
came within miles of her. OFF TO the
east she could family make out other
islands or the main shore, but no help
came from that direction. If she had
had the means to build FIRE and
raise smoke signal, some one would
have come, but she was helpless in
that direction. 1t was three months
before she thoroughly explored her u.s.
land. Then she found 1t to be about
two miles in circumference. 1t was
well wooded, and in the center was q
high hill of almost solid rock. There
were birds In plenty, but not wild
animal or reptile Of any sort.
One day. after six months bad gone
by and while inspecting the hill to see
If she could not set up signal there
the woman made great discovery

GOO more. There was jewelry worth
thousands OF dollars. She said there
We're diamonds, rubies and other pre-
cious stones. There were innumerable
bales and boxes that she had not med
died with and did not know their con
tents. SO far as she could judge, no
one had visited the cave for years
When we pinned her down to particu-
lars she remembered that ships chro
nometer she had found among the stuff
bore the name of "Antasia." and she
gave us the markings Of several bales.
1t was story to stir the imagina-
ton and would have found ready be-
levers anywhere in the world. We
were convinced within an hour that the
woman had seen what she declared she
had and that the island was the one
known now as "0uter island" 1t
stands today the westernmost of all
the group and is still without inhabit-
ants. After full year on the island
Mrs. Du Cliff became desperate. She
gave up all hope Of being taken off and
determined to rescue herself, She built
raft and one day trusted herself to
the treacherous sea, A west wind was
blowing, and she hoped to be carried
across TO other land before it changed
For five days she drove up and down
the China sen and was then cast ashore
on the island where we found her. That
the natives had been kind and respect
full to her was owing to the fact that
they thought she was out Of her mind.
Half day after the story had been
told we were on our way TO the is
land. We reached 1t without incident,
but to meet with surprise and a BIT
ter disappointment We had no sooner
approached the shore In the yawl than
we discovered that the whole place
swarmed with rats. The creatures
were there by the hundreds Of thou
sands. They were water rats of the
largest size, and their deneanor was
80 ferocious that we dared not land.
We pulled all around the island doz-
en- times over, but met the rodents
everywhere. They were gnawing down
the trees and eating the grass out by
the roots Where they came from
cannot say There was not one on the
island when the woman left We tried
powder and shot and fire TO brighten
them, but Ii was not to be done After
week we bore away for Saigon.
Here the womans story was fully cor
roborated as to her residence, mar
rlage and the loss OF the ship, but the
story Of the cave and the treasure had
also to be told The French governor
at once sent a ship to the island and
brought everything away after having
spent fortnight throwing poisoned
food to the rats We Of the trading
Schooner were promised fair share,
but no man of us ever fingered q dol
lar. We were put of on one excuse or
another and finally threatened with i'm
prisonment IL we moved further in the
matter. The woman was given a
share, / believe, but the greater part
OF the singular find went TO enrich two
or three officials of the colony.
