manned the question how the shooting
was accomplished. The murderer was
in Number Seven; he could not and did
not go into the corridor. for the COR
ridor door was locked. But the billiard
player was in Number Six. He was
in Number six, and he died in Num-
Der Six. How were these two facts
to be reeonciled? The seamstress'
testimony alone might be put aside, but
not the dogs testimony. The murderer
certainly remained in Number Seven.
Holding this conviction, the detective
entered the oom of the tragedy and
turned up the lights, all of them, SO
that he might see whatever was to be
seen. He walked back and forth, ex-
aiming the carpet, examining the
walls. examining the furniture, but
paying little heed to the body. He
went to the open window and looked
cut. he went to the yellow sofa and sat
down, finally he shut off the lights and
withdrew softly, closing the door be-
hind HIM. 1t was just as the COM
missary had said with the exception of
enc thing.
When he returned to Number Seven,
NJ. Paul found that Gritz had kept his
promise and sent him Il pot of fragrant
Turkish coffee, steaming hot, and a box
of the choicest Egyptian cigarettes. All,
that was kind! This was something
like it! And, piling up cushions in
the sofa corner, Coquenil settled back
comfortably to think and dream. This
was the time he loved best, these prec-
ious silent hours when the city slept
and his mind became most active
this was the time when chiefly he re-
ceived those flashes Of inspiration or in
tuition tina had so often and so Won
derfully guided him.
For half an hour or SO the detective
smoked continuously and slipped the
powdered delight Of STEAMBOAT, his gaze
moving about the room in friendly
scrutiny as if he would, by patience
and good nature. persuade the walls or
chairs to give up their secret. Pres
entity he took off his glasses and, lean
ing farther back against the cushions,
closed his eyes in pleasant meditation.
Or was it q brief snatch of sleep?
Whichever it was, a discreet knock at
the corridor door shortly ended it,, and
Papa Tignol entered to say that he
had finished the footprint molds,
NJ. Paul reused himself with an effort.

against the sofa back, motioned his az

had scarcely n margin beyond the
cost of her clothing.
Another hint may be in order. AS
a young woman i'll business do not be
condescending to customers.
Intending TO give a large order in the
d~ressinaking department of one of the
finest stores in New York, a friend Of
mine stepped into the elevator and
assembled to the designated floor. She
found soft carpets into which the foot
SUM as into velvet moss; luxurious
chairs and dtvans were placed at inter
walls and tall mirrors gave back and
increased the magnifcence of the apart
ment. Along one side were small rooms
evidently intended for the fitting of
costumes.
The visitor waited q moment in ex-
pectation that some one in the several
groups of well-dressed women who
stood about or talked to one another
and who were evidently in charge
would advance and address her.
AS no one did so she took the initia-
tive, and, stepping up to a spruce young
woman. inquired for what price the
simplest of dresses could be made. The
answer, fippantly given, named an abb
surdly e~xtravagant price.
The intending customer OWNED al
once that the young woman to whom
she spoke was making fur of her, and
she therefore said mildly, You mus
be mistaken. I could have such a gowr
made at Blanks for a third less thar

Airily tossing her head, the saleswom'

Slightest Inattention to Duty
May Throw the Whole
Mechanism Out of Gear.
BY MARGARET E. sANGSTER.

IF YOU are a young woman in bust
= ness you want to succeed. You do
not want to stay at the foot of the
ladder.
If there is a chance for you to rise
in your department you certainly wish
to avail yourself Of it and to show that
you are worth a great deal to the firm
that employs you.
You do not want to see a person from
the outside coming in and taking d
. place higher than you have been able
to secure after several years of con-
.scientious effort.
What are the rules of success that
the business girl should study and
make her own?
Ia the first place, the girl who would
be really of value must solicit no
favors on the score of SEX.
She must be at her desk, behind the
counter, at her ledger or her type
writer by the appointed hour every
morning. and must fill her day with
work we'll done.
She must be above wasting her time
IN idle gossip with a girl near her or
in Irritation with a man in her neigh
borhood.
AS a business person she is a cog
in the machine, and If h fail to do
her whole duty she will throw the ma
chine out of gear.
The girl in business who means to
succeed is not ~perfunctory in her
method of working. She takes pride
In doing her best, and she has the in
terests of the firm at heart.
A young woman who sells goods at
the counter must show an ability TO

@oQUENIL'S examination OF the
~ pistol showed hat it was a
weapon of good make and that
only a single shot had been fired from
it; also that this shot had been fired
within a few hours Which, with the
evidence of the seaInstress and the
dog, gave a strong probability that the
instrument of the crime had been
found. If the ball in the body CORE
sponded with balls still in the pistol,
this probability would become q prac-
teal certainty. And yet. h detective

The Dangerous Fly

We are spending considerable
time and money in war on mos.
quitos. The cases of malaria re.
ported in Greater New York in 1905
were but 359 and the deaths only
so.
Much more to be feared is the
common house-f1y. This so-called
harmless insect is one of the chief
sources of infection, which in New
York City causes annually about
$50 deaths from typhoid fever and
about 1000 deaths yearly from
other intestinal diseases. The sta
tistics in practically all American
cities-and in many foreign cities,
too, for that matter--show a mark
ed rise in the number of deaths
from typhoid fever and intestinal
diseases during the fly season.
In cities where flies are the chief
cause of intestinal epidemics the
other seasons of the year show COM
parative freedom from the disease,
while in cities where water and
milk epidemics exist, these Cpl
denies may occur at any season
of the year. The milk epidemic,
however, often takes place during
the fly season because of the in
fection lof milk by flies at the
farm or in the local milk depots.
The danger to health is greatest
in parts of the city where sanitary
precautions are most neglected; but
even if you live in a comparatively
well-cared-for part of town do not
receive the fly into your home as a
harmless visitor, for he may come
in a carriage or on horseback from
the filthiest spot in the city.
Hitherto the fly has been regard
ed complacently as q harmless nui-
sance and considered to be an an
noying creature with great persist
ence and excessive familiarity. Re-
garded in the light of recent know
ledge the fly is more dangerous
than the tiger or the cobra. Worse
than that, he IL, at least in our eli
mate, much more to be feared than
the mosquito, and may easily be
classad, the world over, as the most
dangerous ahimal on earth. From

ARIZONA'S CONSTITUTION

The making of Arizona's constitu-

every citizen within its borders.
Great care should be taken that
only the best men, those who have
the best interests of Arizona at
heart, are chosen by the different
political parties as delegates to the
convention.
The constitution should be short.
Its provisions should be concise in
form and to the point. and gotten
up with view of giving the people
of Arizona the very best laws to
live under, with all the frills and
isms cut out.
The people of Graham comfy, as
a whole, are interested in the max
ing of the constitution. The demo

lection of those who are to be dele.
gates. There should be no deal or
agreement with the republicans to
chose a non-partisan delegation.
Non-partisanship is a delusion
and a snare and means nothing.
Nothing could be worse than to
select a non-partisan delegation.
We advocate a straight out de-
mocratic ticket for Graham county.
We are not in favor of the non.
partisan scheme. We believe that
the best constitution will be that
nodded by democracy.
In a successful democracy the
people get nearer to getting their
own, for it is the real party of the
people.
In choosing delegates to the con-
stitutional convention the democrats
of Graham County should pick the
best men in its ranks and then work
as a unit and secure their election.

SLAIN IN PISTOL DUEL
Clarence May Fatally Wounded
by Earl Sands

Clarence May, a young man re-
siding at Paradise, was shot three
times and fatally wounded in a
pistol duel with Earl Sands, Mon
day morning, June 26th. May lived
but three hours after the shooting,
never regaining consciousness. His
side of the story is, therefore, I'M
known, as the only witness to the
affray, beside the alleged murderer,
was his mother. Mrs. May,
May, who lived on mining claims
he owned in the vicinity of Paradise
with his parents, and Sands, who
lived on adjoining property, had in
the past considerable trouble over a
herd of goats Sands owned and that
May silsgad was allowed to roam as
the minds Of its faeHbers willed.
According to the story of Mrs.
May, the two men had heated
argument q few days before the
shooting afffay aaa on Monday
morning her son was ambushed by
Sands, who did not show himself
until after the exchange of shoots
had ended. Sands alleged that
May and he aet IN the middle Of
the road, and May without Bariey
drew his revolver and commenced
firing at him. In reply, he alleges,
he returned the fire, killing his an
tagopis, in self defense.
Be that as it may, yeung May
was struck by three bullets, once in
the left knee, in the left wrist, and
the third and fatal shot taking eff
feet below the left armpit and en-
tering his heart. Both men kept
firing until their revolvers were
emptied.
Sands was taken into custody by
Deputy Sheriff Hicks.
Sands is a brother of Alvin Sands,
of Solomonville.
