coldly. But it is no use discussing
such a thing at 5 in the morning. X
you can do without me, Major, l shall
return home. am tired
But J~aSgurd?" asked David, rising
stiffiy from his chair.
He is all right for the time being.
| have detailed Il h~ouseraid as nurse,
and she knows what to do. I'll come
back in the morning and see if he has
recovered his senses
When Etwald took his departure,
Major Jen sent David to bed, in spite
of the young mans remonstrances. but
remained up himself to talk to Arkel.
For u long time Jen discussed the mat
ter with the Inspector. but the conver-
sation proved extremely unsatisfactory.
Arkel was not a k~een-witted man, and
in a case like the present-difficult and
involved--he was quite at a loss how
to proceed. Finally, Major Jen dis
missed him in despair, and while Arkel
went to see his men. who were posted
ound the house, Jen remained alone
to think of what he should do.
Il must be my own detective" he
thought, pacing the library. Il must
do the work myself, with the assist
ance of David. To find out who stole
the devil-stick; that is the first step.
To discover who killed Maurice: that
is the second step. TO learn who car
ried away his body; that is the third
step. Three very difficult things to
find out. and l don't see where to be-
gin. l must learn all / can about Maui
rice's past life. for he may have ene-
mics of whom | know nothing. I shall
so and sleep. and when I awaken 1
shall set to work to solve these mys-
~teries."
AS he spoke, the Major unbarred the
shutters of the window. The ain a
ceased, the dawn was breaking, Inc
the terrible night was at an end.

mo doubt. But in the meantime
they would make themselves scarce.
Jaggard has been insensible or raving
for over a week. Major. The scoun-
drels counted on that"
Il say again hat / believe in Jag
CARDS honesty, and do not agree with
YOU said Jen, putting on his hat, and
after all, | do not see how you deduce
this ~drugging theory"
"Oh. as to that, l was once a bit of
a chemist explained Arkel; and
when you took me to see Jaggard l
snelt q curious perfume which seemed
to be hanging about him. AS a servant
is not likely to use perfumes, | thought
it curious"
Did Etwald notice it?" asked Jen,
thoughtfully.
Yes; but he processes his inability
to explain it. He thinks the man was
stunned, and not drugged. l think that
he was first ~drugged and then stun
ned"
HIM; it's queer, I'll have to think
it over. But when the body was taken
out of the window, Arkel?"
The thieves carried ! across the
lawn!"
Then down through the bushes to
that winding lane, I suppose" said
Jen. Il know all that; but after
Wards."
They put it into a cart and took it
away"
How do you know that?" asked the
Major, all on the alert.
Why" said Arkel, lingering his fat
chin, lit was raining, as you may re-
member, on that night. We found the
mark Of wheels in the lane. which
would not have been left had not a
considerable amount of rain fallen"
Did you follow the trail" asked the
Major.
T the hiSh-road only, and there
the wheel marks became mixed up
with those Of other vehicles. I never
met the like of it before, and I am
fairly puzzled. Why should these
wretches steal the mortal remains of a
murdered MANI"
True" said Jen; and why should
these wretches have murdered that
man?"
las to that, we are by no means
certain that they are the same"
Il don't follow YOU"
NO? And yet it is easy enough. If
those who slew Mr.. Aylmer wanted
his bodyl, they could have stolen it on
the high-road, where they struck him
down. 1t vas mere foolishness to VEN
ture liberty n life in a raid upon the
house."
1T may have been an after-thought."
People don't have afterthoughts in
grim matters Of this kind" said Arkel,
rising. We'll, Major, good-by; good
by. Should l learn anything else, 1
shall let o know; but depend upon
it; the truth of the matter is to come
from Jaggard."
He is honest. Honest!" cried Jen
I'll stake my existence upon that"

FOREST FIRES MORE; LOSS LESS.
Figures Compiled at Washington for
1909 Show Damage Less Severe.

Figures Compiled at Washington for
1909 Show Damage Less Severe.
Fire, the bane OF the forest, played
less havoc in the woodlands of the ma
tlonal reserves last year than in 1908,
although the number of blazes was 40
greater, according to statistics which
have been compiled by the Department
OF Agriculture. By reason of the pro-
tective measures adopted by the de-
partment, almost 80 per cent OF the
fires were extinguished before as much
as i've acres had been damaged; the
fires covered less than one and one
half acres to the square mile of ma
tional forest land, and the damaga
done 20 the b~urned-over area averaged
only $1.25 an acre.
Fol- the year ended Dec. 81, 1909,
there were 3,13S fires in the forests.
burning over 10000 acres, of which
about $1,000 were private lands in ma,
tional forests. against 100000 acres in
1908. About 49, 600, 900 board feet of
timber were consumed, OF which 49,
100000 feet were owned privately,
against 100000 in the previous
year. The loss in value of timber de-
stroyed was less than $500 900, of
which $4,000 belonged to private par
ties. The loss Of the year before was
about $450.000. Damage to reproduc-
ton and forage showed a remarkable
decrease, less than 100000 being the
record for 1909 and over S70O,0 900 that
for 1908. Locomotive sparks were ac-
countable for more blazes than any
other cause.

DEAD IN 100000 HOTEL FIRE
Heart of the Jamestown, N. Y, Bust
ness District Riddled by Flames.

A large square in the center of the
business district of Jamestown, N. Y.
was a mass of smoldering ruins Mon
day morning as the result Of the worst
fire in the history of the city. The
loss will be between 100000 and
$500, 00O. The dead: Hanson, John.
captain of fire police; crushed by fall
ing wall. The falling of telegraph
poles caught several persons in a net
work of wires.
The fire broke out in the GOkey
building the other night and supposed
ly was well under control early the
next morning with the loss of n life
and 100000 property. Twenty-four
hours later q high wind kindled the
embers into fresh flames. What was
left Of the Gokey building vent like
finder and almost before the tiremen
reached the scene the Duffy building
was beyond hope. The rising wind
made the tiremen helpless nj the in
creasing blaze swept across the 10
foot wide street to the Sherman house.
n of the finest hotels in western New
York. There were l25 guests in the
hotel, but all escaped unhurt and most
of their personal property was saved.
At S o'clock in the morning, after it
was believed hat the fire was under
control. the flames communicated to
Erie Hall, occupied by the Bijou The
alter, which was destroyed, as was the
j. S. Briggs Block, occupied by a sa-
loon and restaurant.
