naerous difficulties the servants deserted

veranda- She passed terrible night,
which was allied with unseemly noises.
In the morning Miss Innes found a
strange link cuff button in a clothes
hamper. Gertrude and HalSey arrived
with Jack Bailey. The house was awak-
ened by a revolver shot A strange man
was found shot to death, in the hall
1t proved to be the body OF Arnold Arm
strong, whose banker father owned the
country house. Miss 1nneS found Hal
sey's revolver the lawn. He and Jack
Bailey had disappeared The link cuff
button mysteriously disappeared De-
tective Jameson and the coroner arrived.
Gertrude revealed that she was engaged
to Jack Bailey. with whom she had
talked in the billiard room few mo-
ments before the murder. Jameson told
Miss lines that she was hiding evidence
from him. He imprisoned an intruder in
an empty room The prisoner escaped
down a laundry chute 1t developed that
the intruder was probably a woman. Ger

turned home with her right ankle
sprained. A negro found the other half
of what proved to be Jack Bailey'S cuff

He said he and Bailey had left because
they had received a telegram: Gertrude

CHAPTER x.
The Traders Bank.


The morning after Halsey's return
was Tuesday Arnold Armstrong had
been found dead at the foot of the cir
cular staircase at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. The funeral services
We're to be held on Tuesday, and the
interment of the bo5y was to be de-
ferred until the Armstrong; arrived
rom California. No one, I think was
Asry sorry that Arnold Armstrong was
dead, but the manner of his death
aroused some sympathy and an enor-
nous amount of curiosity. Mrs. Ogden
Fitzhugh, a cousin, took charge of the
arrangements, and everything, 1 be-
Heve, was as quiet as possible. l gave
Thomas Johnson and Mrs. Watson
permission to go into town to pay
their last respects to the dead man,
but for some reason they did not care
to go.
Halsey spent part of the day with
Mr. Jameson, but he said nothing of
what happened. He looked grave and
anxious, and he had a long conversa-
ton with Gertrude late in the after
noon.
Tuesday evening found IFS quiet,
with the quiet that precedes an ex-
plosion. Gertrude and Halsey Were

California Growers May Find
Profitable Markets r.

In his annual report Consul Alfred Is.
Moe of Bordeaux states that the total
production of wine in. the Bordeaux, or
Gironde district. amounted to- 22,624,6ll
gallons in 1909. against 222,3S4,SOa gal
Ions In 1908. Regarding the export OF
wine from that district he says;
It should be of interest to California
wine producers: to note that the coun-
tries adjacent Ito the United States.r as
well as countries of South America,
that are actively engaged .in,the trade
of the Pacific coast -nf. .4i1e United States,
purchase large quantities of table wines
from this district of France. Mexico
and Cuba are ALSO heavy purchasers,
the former taking nearly twice as much
wine as the United States, and the lat
ter four-fifths as much wine in cask.
The United States takes a very large
quantity of wine from this district in
bottles, a larger quantity. in fact than
anv other. country The Importation of
wine from Bordeaux into the. United
States still falls short of the quantity
that Mexico and Argentina. take Cuba,
Mexico. Canada, Brazil and Argentina
are excellent. wine markets, and the
other Central and South American couA-
tries purchase in Sufficient quantities
to make an attractive trade.

Best Team Won, Says
Maori Captain

Most Of the New Zealand Maori foot
bali team that played the combined
California team last Saturday left yes
terday on the Mariposa for their native
land fully convinced that the. reports
they previously had heard of Rugby in
this country had not been complete.
The Maoris yesterday gave full praise
TO the wonderful ability of the calf
fornians and said that they had no idea
the local men had so completely mas
tered the game in so short a period.
Captain Tuoro said that in Saturday S
game the best team undoubtedly had
won. and that his team was perfectly
satisfied. Given proper conditions,
however, and on a turf field with a
properly trained team; Tnoro is Of the
opinion that bis countrymen could de-
feat The Californfans, and pointed to
the two victories of the Maori team in
Australia over the American university
team there as proof of his statement.
The team in Australia at present, said
Tuore, is a thoroughly representative
Maori team and not a travelling troupe
Of theatrical people, as most of the
team shat played here last week
The Maoris are "a. peculiar race in re-
gard TO sports They are Very enthlI-
siastic in. anything they undertake. but
they are very easily disheartened. Had
the Maori team in Saturdays game
been able to score first. and particu-
larly had they scored early in the game.
their enthusiasm would have won the
game for them.

AUSTRALIAN DEEP SEA
l.. i. FISHING OPPORTUNITIES
Several Profitable : Localities
Are Discovered ~.

Vice Consul General Henry D. Baker
of Sydney furnishes as follows the re-
suit as given of II cruises of an Aus
tralian commonwealth investigation
ship to study the commercial possibiIi-
ties of deep sea fisheries:
Tile waters, examined were sections
of the south coast Of New South Wales,
the eastern part of Bass straits about
Wilson's promontory and Flinders
island the western part of Bass straits
about Cape Otway and King
island the norih, east and south coasts
of Tasmania and preliminary surveys
of South Australian waters. These eX-
plorations have shown that certain
parts of the Australian coast are eX-
tremely prolific in marketable fish, in
Guiding especially the south coast of
New South Wales, where in Disaster
bay '902 large marketable fish were OBJ
tained in one houx of trawling. and in
the vicinity of Flinders island where
on what is known as Flinders ba.k,
with water from 20 to 40 fathQms deep
and harboring excellent fish food. such
as small shellfsh and crustaceans, about
so drags gave an average of 362 mar
ketable fish per hour.
In open portions of Ra.ss straits
where the tides are stro e there Is an
abundant growth of coral, sponges, etc,
which renders trawiing difficult, and in
none of these places were many good
fish met. with. The more quiet waters
about Bass straits appear: to be par
ticularly suited for founder Over. vast
areas of sea investigated the bottom
consists .of coarse sand. which is barren
and desertlilze, though in some in
stances covered with 'sponges and. otier
growth. In South Australian waters In
particular, along the Great Australian
blight large sections of the sea have
white sand at the bottom, and in these
cases fish life is very scarce. In gen
eral, the richest trawling grounds were
found in localities where reversal Of
eddies or currents facilitate. the accu-
mutation of fish food:
1t seems possible that if Australian
fisheries. are: to develop. along such
lines as are, suggested by the director
of fisheries that additional capital and
improved boats and gear for deep sea
work. which are necessary for such
might :be supplied. per-
haps. by the. United States, If those in
terested in the fishing industry in the
United States and. in manufactures. of
fishing gear would turn their attention
