the party of four, and their arrival at
the Stafford house, Buffalo, on Feb

ascertained the fact that, on the day
following their arrival, Pelly and Mrs.
Birchall STAYED at the hotel, while
Birchall and Benwell were called be-
fore six o'clock and went away to-

The next step was to follow the
course of Birchall and Benwell after
leaving the Stafford house on Febru-
ary II. Conductor William H. Poole,
running on the Grand Trunk railroad
between Niagara Falls and Windsor,
asserted that he had two passengers
who got off his train at Eastwood
four miles from Blenheim swamp.
Their description answered that Of
Birchall and Benwell. The train
stopped at Eastwood at 11:14 that
morning. Matthew Virtue, a bailiff of

Alfred Hayward and his wife saw

Crosby, a young farmer living in

pleasantly. In response to Pelly's in

to the farm and introduced him to
Mcdonald, the overseer. Later Ben

obstinately and was about to take to
his heels and run when two men came
walking across the bridge. Birchall
then ceased TO argue with his com

back to Canada, keeping several PAGES
apart. The next day Birchall, accom-
panied by his wife, went to Paris, On
tario, to view the body Of the man
whose picture had appeared in the
papers and shortly after their return
to the Falls the arrest followed.
Murray cabled and wrote at once TO

A dog sat out in the moonlight
chill, bowling at the beaming moon;
his knowledge of music was strictly
nil, and his voice was out of tune.
And he howled and howled as the
hours went by, while lodging the
bricks we threw, till the moon was
low in the western sky, and his voice
had split in two. And there wasn't
a thing at which to howl, over which
fool pup should weep, and the
course of the god was foul and wrong
and the people were wild to sleep.
There are plenty of men like this
foolish hound who yell when there's
nothing wrong, disturbing the town
with sensless sounds-the pessimists
