A WeII-kept Murder Secret.

That the identity of the man who
killed Campbell of Glenure on May
IA, 1852, should still be handed down
from father to son, solemn trust,
among a few members of the Stewart
clan, is one Of the curiosities of his
tory:
The mute trees know who fired that
shot,
But the secret we'll they're keeping.
The 'Highlanders refused it to Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson. Mr.. Andrew
Lang says that, like William of Del.
oraine, "he knows, but may not tell"
Mr.. Mackay, the author of this most
complete and interesting account of
the crime and trial, leaves us a little
doubtful whether he is among the in
itiated. II should be the last" he
writes, ito make public a secret that
has been so well kept; Its antiquity
makes it sacred" Spectator.

SINCLATR'S
SCOOP
(Copyright.)
By FRED c. SMALE

"How the deuce did he get the
! work?" asked Sturgess of the County
Daily. 'He couldn't write Flasher
stuff to save his soul"
And it would take a genius to make
anything out of this show-that is to
say anything in their line," remarked
Bond of the Central

ster, with sandy hair and pince-nez,
certainly the last sort of individual
one would expect to find representing
a smart up-to-date paper like the
Daily Flasher. He carried a handful
of miscellaneous papers, prominent
among which was telegram. The
orange colored envelope had been
stuck hastily in his outer breast pock-
ct where it protruded like rosette.
'Pressmen are not supposed to wear
party colors," observed Bond.
Sinclair blushed and plucked out the
envelope.
Il say, you chaps, what do you
think of this?" he suffered, waving
the telegram.
Nothing unusual in the color of the
paper" said Sturgess, calmly.
"No, but list"l," and Sinclair read
the following:
Send exciting details o. polling

Sinclair gazed through his glasses at
the others, who looked up with cold
unconcern.
Well" said Sturgess.
WELL" exclaimed Sinclair, "but it
isn't well. They want exciting details.

We'll, give 'em exciting details, my
dear boy, give 'em lots" replied Stur-
CESS, stolidly, whilst the others chuck
led.
"B-but, l can't There are none.
There won't be any," protested Sim
clair, looking klankly at them.
Sturgess sighed.
What of that?" he murmured,
wearily. They want exciting details"
But they wouldn't be true
The others laughed loudly.
"My dear fellow, why be so irrele-
vant?" put in Bond. What has truth
got to do with the Flasher?"
Sinclair looked nervous.
"But ny duty to the public"

Yes, yes said Sturgess, but what

Bond whistled softly and Ricketts,

expression in his eye.

Sturgess. I'm fact it will give him a

Sturgess laughed It'll be better
1t will be readable. Of course they
may have to contradict something, but
they won't mind that. The stuff will
be on the front page one day and the
contradiction away down at the bot
tom of the Money article the next"
Its a rich idea," said Bond. Il
should work it out
After some consultation a paragraph
was concocted, setting forth that the
home secretary, Lord Herbert Barra-
dene, was coming down from London
the following evening in order to place
his famous oratorical powers at the
servi"s of his old college friend Rich
ard Deller, the ministerial candidate
for Ripplestone, and it was sent to the
Flasher.
The next morning, Ricketts,, Stur-
CESS and Bond were at the hotel in
time to meet Sinclair sallying forth
from his bedroom in state of hope
less bewilderment. A telegram had
come from the Flasher of!ce-a most
enigmatical mysterious, maddening
telegram. Sinclair was quite encyclo-
pediacal in his adjectives.
What is it this time? More ex-
citing details wanted?" qusried Rick
etts, good-humoredly.
No, nothing of the kind. They were
actually praising him. TIE message
was brief-it said:
"Congratula tons Good stroke; no
other papers have it,
What did they mean? No other
papers had what? What was a good
stroke? And Sinclair collarless and
distraught, struck his forehead de-
spairingly.
Ricketts, patted him on the shoulder
reassuringly.
Great Scott" suddenly exclaimed
Bond, who was standing by the win
dow looking on the street. Look
Sturgess-what's the meaning of
this?"
Sturgess fastened to the wondow.
A man was posting a huge placard
on some boardings opposite and the
name "Barradene" already appeared
in flaming letters. The two watched
breathlessly and presently they read
the full announcement that Lord Her.
bert Barradene, the home secretary,
would speak in the market at Pendle-
by the following night.
They looked at one another but
neither said word.

They want exciting details. Give it to
'em, bless 'em. l only wish they'd
ask me-"

anything. Sinclair shook his head.
Ma he said. decidedly. There
is nc excitement and l won't invent
any. I'm going to tell 'em so"
Il wouldn't do that" said Ricketts,,
quietly. Something may turn up. The
poll isn't till Saturday, remember
three days. Things may happen yet"
Lots corroborated Sturgess.
Sinclair nodded.
"Ah, yes-well, 1 won't wire yet
but there won't be anything anyhow
just the usual crowd, 1 expect. Well,
so long! I've got half a column to
do for my own people"
Sinclair's regular work was that of
a small country agricultural paper and
it had puzzled more than those pres
ent to know just how the Flasher peo-
pie had appointed him their CORE

When he had gone the others looked
at each other.

wrong address," said Sturgess, en-
viously. "Now if I'd had that wire

one of the ballot boxes or something"
Sturgess had tried hard to get the
Flasher work himself, and the fact
that this milk-andwater youngster had
secured the coveted post CALLED him.
especially as 1T appeared that Sinclair
had no notion Of making the most of
his opportunity. Suddenly he started
and slapped his thigh.

softly. "the Flasher wants stuff. This

Hunt, Lincolnshire postman, can
claim to have tramped distance Of,

than the equivalent of ten journeys

Not long ago George Thompson
retired from service as postman in
the Langrick district of Yorkshire, af-
ter covering on foot 125,O0O miles in
twenty-six years of letter carrying, a

that of his Lincolnshire rival.

John Simmonds of Henley-on-
Thames retired with a record of 49,
900 miles of fair "heel-and-toe," the
result of forty years tramping; while
most amazing of all, Thomas Phipps,
postman in the Chipping Norton
district, was credited with an aggre-
gate journey of 100000 miles between
the years 1910 and 1898.

Coin From the Sea

The erosion of the sea at Colachel,
in South Travancore, has caused very
old and curious gold, silver and cop
per coins with beautiful Inscriptions
and engravings to be unearthed in
large quantities. People from differ
ent places are pouring in to purchase
them.
The coins are supposed to have
come from remote places, owing to
some volcanic eruption or earthquakes
in far off places.
