~ 1AUL'S reason for advertising IF the name of Lemuel Krill was MNsN a very natural one. He be- HHHsU lieved that in the past of the dead man was to be found his reason for changing his name and living in Gwynne street And in that past, be- fore he became a secondhand book seller and a secret pawnbroker, might be found the motive for the crime. the discovery of the murderer of Lem- uel Krill, alias Aaron Norman, some thing might come to light relative to the mans early life. Once that was known the clew might be obtained. Then the truth would surely be dis covered. He explained this to Hurd.
 T think you're right Mir. Beecot," said the detective in his genial way and looking as brown as coffee bean.
 But now that business is ended and you know what you are to do. will you tell me plainly why you warned me against Grexon Hay"
 "To be particular, Hay is one of those we'll dressed blackguards who live on mugs. He has no money''-
 "I beg your pardon. he told me him. self that his uncle had ldst him a thousand a year"
 Pooh. He might as well have doubled the sum and increased the value of the lie. He hasn't a penny. What he did have he got through pretty quickly in order to buy his ex- perience. Now that he is hard up he practices on others what was prac- ticed on himself. Hay is we'll bred. good looking. we'll dressed and plausi- ble He has we'll furnished rooms and keeps a valet. He goes into rather shady society. as decent people. having found him out. won't have anything to do with him. Bu. he is a card sharper and a fraudulent company promoter. He'll borrow money from any juggins who is ass enough to lend it to him. He haunts Piccsdilly. Bond street and the Burlington arcade and is always smart and bland and fasci- AlAAuk.

Hay Is Captain Hawk. and those he svindles are pigeons"
 Paul was quite startled by this rev elation. and it was painful to hear 1t of an old school friend ~He does not look like a man of that sort" he re- monstrated.
 You are rich now through your promised wife. and Hay vii find it out"
 Miss Norman's money has nothing to do with me And I may mention that ss soon as the case is in your hands. Mr. Hurd--

gIdrd"
 T shall, and thanks for the warn | ing"
 So the two parted Hurd went away to have the. bills printed, and Paul re- turned to Gwynne street to arrange with Sylvia about their early mar. riage. Deborah was in the seventh heaven of delight that her young mis- tress would soon be in safe haven and enjoy the protection of an honor able man. Knowing that she would soon be relieved from care, she told Bart Tawsey that they would be mar ried. at the same time as the young couple and that the laundry would be started as soon as Mr. and Mrs. P cot left for the continent Bart, = course, agreed-he always did agree with Deborah-and so everything was nicely arranged. ..
 Meanwhile Fash worked to prove the will, pay the death duties and to place Sylvia in full possession of her prop erty. He found in one of the safes the certificate of the girls birth and also the marriage certificate of Aaron Norman in the ncme of Lemuel Krill. The man evidently had his doubts of the marriage being legal one if COZ tracted under his alias He had mar. ried Lillian Garner, who was describ ed as a spinster. But who she was and where she came from and what her position in life might be could not be discovered. Krill was married in a quiet city church, and Fash, having searched, found everything in order. Mrs. Krill, or Norman, as she was known, lived only year or two after her marriage and then died, leaving Sylvia to the care of her husband. There were several nurses in success. sion until Deborah grew old enough to attend alone on her young mistress. Then Norman dismissed the nurse, and Deborah had been Sylvia's slave and Aaron's ser, 1t until the tragic hour of his death. So, everything being in order, there was no difficulty in plac- ing Sylvia in possession of her prop erty.
 Fash was engaged in this congenial work for several weeks, and during that time all went smoothly Paul paid daily visits to the Gwynne street house, which was to be vacated as soon as he made Sylvia his wife. Deborah searched for her laundry and obtained the premises she wanted at moder- ate rental. Sylvia basked in the sun- shine of her future husbands love, and Hurd hunted for the assassin of the late MT. Norman without success. The handbills with his portrait and real name and a description of the circunl- stances of Es death were scattered broadcast over the country from Lands End to John O'Groat's, but hitherto no one had applied for the reward. The name of Krill seemed to be a rare one and the dead man apparently had no relatives, for no one took the slightest interest in the bills beyond envying the lucky person who would gain the large reward offered for the conviction of the murderer.
 Then one day Deborah, while clean. ing out the cellar, found a piece of pa per which had slipped down behind one of the safes. These had not been removed for -''"'' "'"s. and the pa.

was Krill-Lemuel Krill."
 Sylvia looked amazed; Deborah ut tered her usual ejaculation, Tor" but Paul's expression did not change. He considered that this was all of piece with the murder and the mystery of the opal brooch. Undoubtedly Mr. Lemuel Krill. alias Aaron Norman, must have had good reason to change his name and to exhibit terror at the sight of the brooch. And the reason he dreaded, whatever 1t might be, had been the cause of his mysterious and tragic death. But Paul said nothing of these thoughts, and there was silence for few minutes.
 Paul addressed the lawyer. "I know little about the legal aspect of this will, but I should like to lSlow if there will be any difficulty in prosing it?'
 q don't think so I have not gone i through all the safes below and may come across the marriage certificate of Miss Kril's-I. beg pardon, Miss Nor man's-mother and father. Then there's the birth certificate. We must prove that Miss Sylvia is the daughter of my late esteemed client"
 What's thatT shouted Deborah. "Why, I knowed her mother as died. She's the daughter right enough, and"-
 There's no need tcsp.out," chattered Fash angrily. "I know that as we'll as you do. I must act however, as reason dictates. I'll prove the will and see that all is right" Then, dread ing Deborah's' tongue, he hastily added. Good day." and left the room. But he was not to escape so easily. Deb- orah plunged after him and made scathing remarks about legal manners all the way down to the door.
 Paul and Sylvia left alone, looked and smiled and fell into one another's arms. The will had been read and the money left to the girl, thereby the future was all right, so they thought that Pash'. visit demanded no further attention.
 q tell you what, Sylvia" said Paul refectively, "after this will business is settled and a few weeks have elapsed we can marry"
 "Oh. Paul, not for year! Think of poor fathers memory!'
 Marry me next montls" persisted Paul. You can't stop here in this dull house, and it will be awkward for you to go about with Deborah, faithful +bo,rb ebo ;c No dorlip0 1ot TIC mar ry, and then we shall go abroad for a year or two until all this sad business is forgotten. Then hope by that time to become reconciled to my father, and we can visit Wargrove"
 Sylvia reflected. She saw that Paul was right, as her position was really very difficult She knew of no lady who would chaperon her, and she had no relative to act as such. Certainly Deborah could be chaperon, but she was not lady, and Fash could be a guardian, but he was not relative. Paul as her husband would be able to protect her and to look after the prop erty, which Sylvia did not think she could do herself. These thoughts made her consent to an early marriage.
 "You are an angel" Paul said, em- bracing her But there's one thing we must do'-and his voice became graver i've must see Fash and offer a re- ward for the discovery of the person who killed your father. I suggest that we offer a reward of f500 for the dis covery of the murderer of Lemuel Krill." l!

The prohibitlve laws against sending

A DOUBTFUL SCHEME

There Is n good deal Of activity in con-
nection with proposals that the federal
government undertake the reclamation by
drainage OF some 5o.00o,0co acres OF swamp
landF. IL is urged that IL II Is good bus-
ness for the nation TO reclaim large areas
OF arid land by carrying water TO them.
II is equally good business 10 reclaim
swamp lands by taking the water away
from them. The argument is plausible,
but II does not work out

On each sightseeing automobile Inn
pressed into service 10 show New York
to the Japanese sailors there stood n
merchant or student who explained
things through a megaphone This guide
was OF the Japanese type familiar In New
York, with thin face, pipe-stem neck and
bird-claw fingers. He was the kind oil
man who has made America wonder how
the Japanese ever endured the mere ply
sical labor of outmarching and outfighc-
ing the big Russians.
The sailors furnished the explanation.
Forty generations of hereditary caste
have left enduring marks I'm physique and
in facial type throughout the East. The
veterans OF the Chitose and Tsukuba
were short men but sturdy. Their necks
were big, their chests full and round
their arms and legs efficient. They were
a shade or two darker than the mer-
chants and students, and their eyes either
were or seemed to be set less obliauely In
their broad. good-humored faces.
They laughed as heartily as children.
Occasionally darker face heavily ring
ed with black beard spoke of Ainu blood
but most OF the men were or the arisan
or peasant stock OF Nippon, which In tho
old Japan was held in greater estimation
than the merchant caste.
Seven hundred sailors ashore who did
not get drunk or desert or fight the po-
licemen. and who visited Columbia un!-
versity but not the Bowery, violated all
the traditions OF a seafaring town. but
they gave New York its first real lesson

man who does things Is like.-New York

ANANIAS CLUB

One subject about which Mr.. Roosevelt
certainly has not revealed lack of in
formation is wild animals. His superior
equipment for criticism in this depart
ment OF literature is turned TO useful ac-
count in a conversation with Edward b.
Clark which is reproduced in the June
Everybodys.
The president has been examining the
wild animals that various nature realists
think they have seen with results inter-
esting TO their readers If not creditabe to
the writers. He finds that the wolves of
Jack London and William j. Long could
not exist except in fiction, while the lynx
OF Charles c. -. Roberts is OF a degree
of ferocity altogether out of proportion to
the kind OF kitten with which our exalted
critic is intimately familiar. Even Thomp-
son-Seton (or is IL Seton-Thompson? in
dulges In some description of jungle folk
which properly belongs, according to Mr.
Roosevelt, In the domain OF fable. The
complaint voiced TO Mr.. Clark about the
nature fakirs" Is that they have robbed
the literature of pure imagination of some
valuable inventions, In the way OF quad
rupeds doing all manner of impossible
things, by solemnly insisting that they
are writing authentic animals biographies
which can be used as text books.-New

BILL OVERSIGHT

In making the draft OF the public SER
vice commissions bill which passed the
assembly, the fact seems TO have been
lost sight of that the city OF New YORK
has quite as much concern as any other
part of the state In the regulation OF the
trunk lines running out of this city. En-
tire jurisdiction of rates, equipment ana
service which the New York Central may
give out of this city, or the Pennsylva-
MIA may give when Its tunnel under the
city is completed, is vested by the bill
in the commission OF the Second district.
which is to be In practical operation the
general state commission. while the First
district commission has local functions.
Yet from this Second district commission
all residents OF this city are excluded.
The Tribune cordially favors the gov
ernors policy in dealing with this ques-
tion and would not wish 10 see the meas
ure endangered or delayed by any un-
necessary amendments. but IL believes
the existing provision must have been
put in the bill without due consideration
and kept in by oversight. Certainly. this
great city. containing half the people or
the state, has such interest in the gen.
eral transportation problem as II relates
to the trunk lines whose terminals are

ton on what is 10 all intents and pur-
poses the public service commission OF

While II seemed likely that the senate
would accept the assembly bill without
change. we did not think II wise TO ad-
wise any delay for what is, after all, a
minor amendment: but now that some
changes are being made and the bill
must go back to the assembly anyway,
we suggest the desirability of avoiding
any future complaint that the metropolis
has no voice in the regila ton OF It's own
railroad outlets.-New York Tribune.

INCREASE OF
THUNDERSTORMS

One feature OF hte recent cold season
has been the infrequency or thunder
storms. which apparently mark at this
period the approach OF more set
tied and warmer weather. Thunder

I'm the middle Atlantic states and they

The disturbance which caused them was
quite widespread, and local rains occurred
yesterday over many districts east OF the
Mississippi valley.
II is doubtful whether the tempera-
lures will now exceed the seasonal aver
age in the central and northern states
generally during the remainder OF this
month. Cool waves from the northwest

be expected. But the epoch OF ebnormaliy
