The doctor was following this theory
with breathless interest. go on" he
said
"He was about to retire as he came.
when the thought occurred to him to
divert suspicion from himself by placing
the pistol he had picked up on his way
through the rooms, near his victim. But
there must be a report and a pistol
wound. He raised the window, and noted
the distance to the tree. He went over
and fired the pistol at Madame Roupell,
who was stitl insensible. Then he threw
the pistol down and jumped from the
window. We must search for the man
in two places; in the haunts of the poor
and in the palaces of the wealthy We
have little to guide US but the scraps of
parchment and the gold locket | also
found"
Let me look at the locket," said the
doctor. "Can you get it open? 1t may
contain lock of hair or something"
~ have already done that. 1t contains
a picture" responded Cassagne. II will
show you"
The detective took penknife and pried
up the little gold lid. A small photo
graph was disclosed to view. 1t was the
portrait Of man Of about twenty years
of age.
"What does this mean? cried the doc
tor. Henry Graham cannot have com
mitted this murder. This Is a portrait
of Henry Graham himself"
Impossible !" calculated the detective.
ut is fact" replied DIR. Mason. He
ran into the drawing room, and picking
up an album, turned the pages over rap
idly. Finally he stopped at certain
photograph.
THAT was Henry Graham when he
was decent member Of society,"" he said
The detective put the locket down close
to the photograph, and compared the two
pictures carefully.
"There is no doubt whatever about It,"
he remarked. "You are right they are
portraits of one and the same man."
"Then 1t couldn't be Henry Graham"
inquired the physician. "A man doesn't
carry locket containing a picture Of
himself"
ut may not be Henry Graham at all"
replied the detective. ~ hope it isn't
for the sake of the family; but he's the
man we've got to look for first, and the
sooner we find him the better your
friends prospects are of regaining his
liberty"

Wheat I'm the Cotton BeIt.

The first week in November Is early
enough to SOW wheat throughout the
middle portion Of the cotton belt. This
crop often succeeds we'll sown as late
as Dec. 1, provided the conditions shall
be favorable for termination for two
weeks after sowing (not too cold and
wet). Land covered with thick
growth Of grass or other vegetation is
not considered the best condition for
wheat, for the reason that wheat likes
a compact, smooth surface soil. Turn
your land well, then harrow, then roll
with heavy roller, then SOW the seed
A one or one and half ton roller run
over freshly plowed surface once or
twice will compact the three or four
Inches of surface soil. The wheat seed
should then be put in with a regular
wheat drill, says a Southern authority.
