the spot in which one wants to en-.

be wage earners, and money makers,
but not be home makers. The apart

heartstrings will miss 1t. 1t is hard
to imagine great person living that
way, except in the early days of strug-

venience and easy to give up.
| One of the unifying influences OF
the old home was the fireplace, where
the carbon went UP the chimney, the
oxygen into the air, and ozone into the
spirits. Around the fireside was
fine place for story telling and read

Hospitality was one Of the priced vir-

came in for the evening or to "stay
all night" or longer, it was enjoyed
without nervous fear of an outside

a peddler found food and shelter and
apples and cider, as once, on a snowy
day, we filled up jolly German with
cider that had grown too old, and he

was the sexton of the village church.
He was an intensely religious man and
hungered for discussion of theological
subjects. Brooks accommodated him
more than once, and it was not long
before he found himself among the
boarders of Ezra Wallace's humble
home. The old man would have cheer
fully lodged and fed him for moth
ing for the sake of religious controver-
sizes on which he lived, and thrived,
and had his being. One night the
two men needed book to verify some
disputed point 1t happened to be in
the church library. Brooks yolun-
teered to go after it. The sexton hand
ed him the key and he went to the
church and obtained the book, but he
conveniently forgot to return the
key.
Some time after midnight he quiet
" hurried to the church, and using
the purloined key, made his way
into the edifice. 1t was quite
dark and the place was unfamiliar, but
he managed to grope along until
he reached the stairway leading to the
choir loft. From thence he climbed
to the dingy attic at the base OF the
church steeple. He crawled up by
EASY stages until he reached the bel
fry. A rustling noise startled him.
This was followed by another and then
still another. He realized that the
rats we're scampering from their ac-
customed haunts. The fiuttering or
wings near the top of the structure re-
minded him that he had disturbed the
bats. 1t was still quite dark and he

He had 20 COWS and a distillery, and
farm of a hundred acres. Everything
seemed to be open and above board
Davis apparently worked hard, and
with son and his hired men, did not
seem to have much spare time on his
hands.
Brooks managed to come in contact
with Davis, but there was nothing
about the personality of the man that
gave him any clue. Davis wore look
as though he were constantly exhaust
ed through lack of sleep His coun-
tenance did not give any Indication of
the operation of his mind. He was
man of few words He had prefer
ences, but no friendships. The dull
horizon of his life seemed undisturbed
save by occasional streaks of tact in
business matters. One of the 1oungers
in the hotel credited him with having
once brought about a corner in pork
on limited scale. Another indicated
that he had once mixed fine white
meal with his lard. These things did
not seem very important in them
selves, and yet they were traits Of
character which made it possible to be-
lieve the charge that he had habitual-
ly withheld from taxation nearly three
fourths of his yield of whisky.
Brooks contrived to visit his farm
on various occasions. He went through
the dairy, examined the live stock and
managed to get a peep into the distil-
lery. He arranged his visits so that
one day he went in the morning, an
other in the afternoon, and still an
other ia the dusk of evening, but he
was never able to find anything out
OF the way. From time to time whisky
was sent out in casks, but it was al
ways properly gagged and the govern
ment appeared to be receiving its tax.
Among other persons with whom the
detective became acquainted was a
queer old character named Ezra Wal

PAID THE PENALTY.

With his wrist tied to the tail of wild young horse, the body of what was identified to be a Papago Indian was found We'd nesday. at Yuma by a detach- ment of the First U. $. cavalry on the edge of the Gila river near the mesa.
 The Indian was about 23, Phy- sicians say he had been dead for four days. His skin was dry and leathery from the heat, and one side of his face was mutilated by dragging on the ground, but was still recognizable. In order to secure the body the horse had to be shot, the soldiers being unable to catch it as it darted about with it's ghastly incum- brance. It is believed the young Indian was condemned to die in that mannar because he violated some law of the tribe.
 Members of the tribe were very uncommunicative the horse bore no brand, and the officers do not expect to secure a history of the case. se.-TOmbStOne PrOSpectOr.
