He called out from mn der the bed:

 We did. monsieur" explained Dad dy Jacques. When we could not find the assassin we asked ourselves whether there was not some hole in the floor"
 There is not" replied Rouletabille. 'Ts there a cellarg'
 NO, there's no cellar But that has not stopped our searching and has not prevented the examining magistrate and his registrar from studying the floor plank by plank, as if there had been cellar under it."
 The reporter then reappeared. His eyes were sparkling and his nostrils quiyered. He remained on his hands and knees. Thus he made his way to the four corners of the room, so to speak, sniffing and going around ev- erything- that we could see, which was not much, and every thing that we could not see, which must have been infinite.
 The toilet table was simple table standing on four legs. There was nothing about 1t by which it could possibly be changed into temporary hiding place. There was not closet or cupboard. Mile. Stangerson kept her wardrobe at the chateau.
 Rouletabille literally passed his nose and hands along the walls, constructed of solid patchwork When he had finished with the walls and passed his agile fingers over every portion of the yellow paper covering them he reached to the ceiling, which he was able to touch by mounting on a chair placed on the toilet table, and by moving this ingeniously constructed stage from place to place he examined ev- cry foot of 1t.

That's why he pressed on 1t so hard. leaving on the yellow paper the terri. ble evidence. I don't think there are many hands in the world of that sort.

"we see that after leaving It's imprint on the wall the touch sought the door. found it and then felt for the lock"
 No doubt" interrupted Rouletabille, ehuckling. "only there Is no blood either on the lock or on the bolt"
 What does that proveY' rejoined. with good sense of which I was proud He might have opened the lock with his left hand. which would have been quite natural. his right hand being wounded"
 He didn't open 1t at all" Daddy Jacques again exclaimed. "We are not fools. and there were four of us when we burst open the door"
 ~what a queer hand! Look what . queer hand it isr' said.
 Tt is very natural hand" said Rouletabille. "of which the shape has been deformed by it's having slipped on the wall. The man dried his hand on the wall. He must be man about Eve feet eight in height"
 How do you come at thatY
 By the height of the marks on the wall"
 My friend next occupied himself with the mark of the bullet in the wall. It was a round hole.
 This ball was fired straight. not from above. and consequently not from below"
 Rouletabille went back to the door and carefully examined the lock and the bolt. satisfying himself that the door had certainly been burst open from the outside. and. further. that the key had been found in the lock on the inside of the chamber. He finally satisfied himself that with the key in the lock the door could not possibly be opened from without with another key. Having made sure of all these details. he let fall these words. That's betterr Then. sitting down on the

 Perhaps he got away with the mat tress-in the mattress! Anything is possible in the face of such a mystery. In their distress of mind M. Stanger- son and the concierge may not have

 The first thing he did was to exam inc minutely the overturned furniture. We watched him in silence.
 Young fellow, you are giving your self great deal of trouble" said Dad dy Jacques ironically.
 Rouletabile raised his head and said:
 You have spoken the simple truth, Daddy Jacques. Your mistress did not have her hair in bands that even

 At once. We drew 1t right out of its place"
 And between the mattresses?''
 "There was only one on the bed, and on that mademoiselle was placed. and M Stangerson and the concierge im- mediately carried it into the labora. tory. Under the mattress there was nothing but metal netting, which

HACKETT DENIES IT.
Says he did not Make Remorks Which
Have Seen Attributed to him.

Congressman Hackett had the
following to say in an interview
the other day in Charlotte:
"The statement that I intima-
ted that neither of the three gen.
tlemen who are candidates for
governor is fit for the high Office
to which he asplres, or that either
of them is not a man whom the
people can trust to the fullest ex-
tent in the office, or that I am of
the opinion that they are in any
way untitled for it, is gratuitous
and untrue.
I have taken no part in the
campaign for either candidate
nor have I uttered a word derog-
tory to the character of eithsr. I
have stated frequently in public
and private conversation that all
three are honorable men, staunch
and true Democrats, and that eth
er would make as good a governor
as the other. I have deplored the
fact that bitterness and PERSONAL
tiles have been injected into the
campaign have stated tina. I be-
lieved it would injure the Demo-
cratic party, and that such things
ought not to occur in the canvass
for Office between Democrats; and
that l believe it would be for the
best interests Of the party to nom
mate a man who had not engag-
ed ill a campaign characterized
by personalities and strong feel.
ing. This is the substance anc
extent of my statement made il
Winston, az an individual. solely
in the interest Of harmony ano
the success of the Democratic
party"

Tho p1antinu machina in the

The planting machine, in the
hands of careless men, Is respon-
sible for much of the poor stands
of cotton. Most of them plant
entirely too deep, and are adjust
able enough to run more shallow
than three or four inches or to put
less than a bushel Of seed to the
acre. In many of them the wheel,
the slide, or the drag is the last
or hindmost part of the machine.
This leaves the surface comracted
which greatly favors drying out
the soil.
There are now on the market a
few machines that seem to be al
most ideal in construction. They
plant either wet or dry seed, have
a force feed arrangement that
drops one seed from one to four
inches a part, are easily adjusta-
BILE to any desirable depth, have
the wheel to follow the seed thus
pressing them in close contact
with soil. and having such cover
ers to come last, as leave a loose
mulch on the surface.
There is much yet to be learned
about seed termination under the
various conditions named above.
1t is an interesting study and one
capable of paying we'll for the
time spent in understanding it
thoroughly. G. R. HUDSON.
