A Dismal Failure.

A young jobbng firm in New YorA
overbought for the fall trade. Their
heaviest mistake had been in line of
overcoats, which, it looked, they would
have to carry over season. Efforts to
get cash for the stock were fruitless
except DIT ruinous rates. At last the
firm went to an old-timer in the trade
for advice.
WELL" said the man of experience.

toner's Just divide the coats up into
lots of thirteen each. Send batch
apiece to some of your sharpest Gus
toners, but make out the bills for
twelve. They'll be so tickled to get
one coat for nothing that they'll take
'em ALL"
The scheme had been tried before
the men met again. The old-timer
waited for his praise.
'Well, didn't they keep the coats?"
he asked.

NOTED HOTEL CLOSED
Fifth Avenue of New York to Be Torn
Down..


New York, April Sat midnight
Saturday the Fifth Avenue hotel, one
of the most famous hostelries of the
city. ended it's existence of half CEN
fury. but not until the old-timers had
once more sat on the plush cushioned
seats in the amen" corner and once
more breathed an acquiescent amen"
to the words of the easy boss whose
political plans, there promulgated,
gave the spot world renown. In the
old days Tom Platt was secretive. To
night he confessed that the amen cor
ner had made and unmade presi-
dents" Chauncey Depew spoke with
caution when a part of the inner circle
in days gone by. Tonight he fairly
boosted that he had known governors
who thought they did things from
the executive chamber, but they were
done from the amen corner"
1t was a jolly, half-sorrowful party
that gathered to bid the old place
goodby
After 40 years life as hotel, dur
ing half of which time it served as
headquarters of the republican party
of the state, the house is to be torn
down to make way for monster office
building. About the entrance, in a
wheel chair and assisted by friend
on either side, Senator Platt tottered
to the amen" corner and again
heard the shouts of PLAT, Platt,
Platt" The aged senator was visibly
affected, but managed to speak for
some moments in the crowd that
surged about him and which was kept
from pressing too closely upon the
sacred spot only by Gordon of police.
Ia great modern building will replace it.

Gophers, Sage Rats and Prairie Dogs
annually devastate our fields of growing
grain. Their number may be greatly
diminished by systematic warfare upon
them. Every female killed before the
young are born, reduces the number of
pests at least ten later on.
"Woodlark" Squirrel Poison is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised
for their determination. 1t is absolutely
certain in its action and every kernel is
warranted to kill. Climatic changes or
moistuue of the earth do not destroy its
strength. 1t requires no mixing or prepa-
ration, and is always ready for use. No
other is SO good. Dealers will refund the
purchase price, if not as claimed.

CHAPTER vi.


DR.. Paul Mason found opportunity to
whisper in Charles Van Lith's ear, as he
was led away:
DO not despair. 1 will leave no stone
unturned to establish your innocence"
Them as he wrung his hand, he added,
"Oh, If you would but speak"
Van Lith said nothing in reply. He
was 80 overcome with the horror of his
situation that he could barely stammer
out his thanks for the Doctors kindness.
Overwhelmed by the magnitude of the
misfortune which had overtaken him, he
suffered himself to be conducted unresist-
ingly to that sombfe vehicle, in which,
closely barred and huddled together like
sheep, prisoners are carried to the dark
and gloomy cells of La Mazas. Paul Ma
son Immediately took a cab to the Rue de
Reverdy, where he ate, though sparingly,
of the breakfast which his housekeeper,
Louise, had long ago prepared against his
coming
well, Madame Roupell was murdered
this morning at the Chateau Villeneuve,"
he said at last.
The old servant started violently. She
set down the pot from which she was
about to pour fresh cup of coffee for the
doctor, and trembled from head to foot.

1T Is not only possible, but, alas. 1t is

day, my friend Monsieur Charles Van

woman's eyes nearly started out Of her
head.
Monsieur Charles How can he be
guilty of such a thing? He, 80 gay, so
cheerful. so polite to everybody l will
never believe it,
He was in the chateau last night, and
positively refuses to tell even me how he
came to be there. But there is report
of the whole affair in the morning paper.
You can read it for yourself"
The old lady put on her glasses, and
simply devoured the paper which the doc
tor handed her. Suddenly she exclaim-
ed:
Monsieur Van Lith's silence has some
thing to do with one of the young ladies,
you may depend upon it."
Louise pointed to a certain paragraph
in the report of the tragedy, which had
already, In the shape of an extra" found
its way thus early into print:

Ing this letter."
II was not 30 engaged during the en-.
tire time; the point Of my pencil broke,
and had no penknife with which to re-
sharpen it."
You were right, monsieur lie prefect,"
exclaimed the judge, with a meaning
glance at the official. How long time
elapsed between the breaking of your
pencil and the report of the pistol?"
About five minutes. l should say
Probably longer. 1t might have been
mere and 1t may have been less 1 could
not say for certain"
1.-The letter you have shown me-" said
the Judge, II think sufficiently explains
why you did not retire to sleep. You
we're the invited guest of Madame Rou-
pell, and occupied the room shown you.
BY the by, at which door did you go into
Madame Roupell's room? The one which
led to it from your chamber"
"Oh, no, monsieur, that was locked
had first to 20 into the corridor"
THAT will do, Monsieur Chabot you
can CO." said the judge, and the French
man, considerably relieved, bowed and
retired.
The servants were then called, and they
swore positively that none of them had
admitted Van Lith into the chateau, and
had no knowledge of his being there until
they saw him in Nine. Roupells cham
Der. The project here stated his discov-
cry of the bruised vine leaves, and the
open window, and gave it as his opinion
that the entry had been there effected
The examination of the local physi-
clan and DR.. Paul Mason then followed
They both testified that Nine. Roupell
had died from the effects of pistol bull
let entering the base of the brain. This
concluding the proceedings, the judge of
instruction then committed Van Lfth to
the prison of La Mazas.
"Shall l keep Monsieur Jules Chabot
under surveilance?" asked the project,
when all had retired.
II see no occasion for it," replied NJ
Bertrand. HE may be a FOOL but he
doesn't look like a murderer"
But Victor Lablanche still adhered OBJ
stinately to the opinion that NJ. Chabot
would bear watching. Slipping from the
room he instructed one of his most relia-
BILE secret agents to keep him in sight I'M
til further orders. He had said nothing
about his discovery of the open door. He
would keep that to himself. 1t might
lead perhaps to one of those grand coups
for which he was SO famous.
Another thing the project was dissatis-
fed with. Upon the certificate of the ply
sicians that the Miles. Weldon were pros
trated by the death of their aunt, they
bod Iof1
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The project
considered this as ill-timed leniency but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of SO famous a physician as DR.. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge Of
instruction.
