CHAPTER xxx.
In the DINING Room.

That was Saturday night, two weeks
after the wreck. The previous five
days had been full of swift-following
events-the woman in the house next
door, the picture in the theater of a
man about to leap from the doomed
train, the dinner at the Dallaes, and
Richey's discovery that Alison was
the girl in the case. In quick success
sion had come our visit to the Carter
place, the finding of the rest of the
telegram, my seeing Alison there, and
the strange interview with Mrs. Con
way. The Cresson trip stood out in
my memory for its serio-comic horrors
and its one real thrill. Then-the dis
covery by the police of the sealskin
bag and the bit of chain; Hotchkiss
producing triumphantly Stuart for Sui
Ivan and his subsequent discontinue;
Mcknight at the station with Alison,
and later the confession that he was
out of the running.

And the said apex was at that mo-

carriage block, and smoking a pipe
that made the night hi9eous. The

SIGNS PUZZLE THE
G0OSEB0NE SAGES
CONVENTION OF FORECAST IN
TERPRETERs BREAKS UP IN
DISGUST AT REPORTS.
DISCUSS WINTER OUTLOOK
Much Conflicting Evidence for Belev-
ers In the Goosebone, the Ground
hog, the WrinkIed Tomato, the
Thick Husk and Other Signs.

Channahon, lll.-The local nature
coming off this winter in the way OF
weather. There is much conflicting
evidence, for believers in the goose
bone, the grounding, the wrinkled to-
mato, the thick corn husk and other
signs supposed to give correct fore
cast to consider that at gathering
of the prophets here no final forecast
was risked.
One prophet had the courage TO rise
up and state that he had been in the
habit Of basing his prediction for the
winter on what the weather Was each
September 20, but that last year all
signs failed, due, he thinks, to the dis
concerning advent of Halley's comet
then approaching the earth. At the
finish, he had a choice lot Of unfulfill-
ed forecasts on hand.
Following this abject confession Of
prophecies that failed, another mem
Der of the convention announced that
he pinned his faith to the appearance
of tomatoes. Each autumn he digs up
tomato vine and hangs it in the Gel
lar. After giving the tomatoes on the
vine two weeks in which to line up
as weather prophets, he examines
them. If they are soft and wrinkled
the winter will be mild. This years
test found them in that condition.
The consensus Of opinion among
those who have faith in worms as
weather prophets is that the winter
will be mild because worms have been
seen everywhere, and if it was to be
cold winter the worms would be in
their steam-heated flats or some 9TH
er comfortable home by this time.
Some new. work in crude meteorol-
ogy was introduced at the convention
by making the grounding do a semi.

annual instead or an annual stunt.
Heretofore his appearance on Feb.
has been the only time in the year
when the little animal had the center
of the stage, but they said at this
meeting the little grounding is just
as reliable in the fall as he is In Feb
ruary.
On Candlemas day he Is supposed
TO come out at noon, look for his
shadow and go back, If he can see it,
for six weeks annex to his winters
nap. In the fall what he thinks about
prospects for the winter are based on
the approaches to his home.
Every grounding with any preten-
sions to class has two entrances to
his domicile. One of these faces the
north and the other the south. As
signs are observed he closes one en-.
trance, and this year, according to
those who had wandered about the
woods, the northern entrance was
closed, an indication that the ground
hog expected a cold winter.
To Offset this, another delegate re-
ported seeing turtle and two black
snakes wandering about as II they
thought it was May instead of Novem-
Der. This, he insisted, was sure
sign that the winter is to be mild.
Squirrels are depended upon by
many for a tip on the winter. This
year the squirrels have laid in a very
small supply of nuts for the winter.
According to those who back the
squirrel as an authority this means
that the ground is to be bare and the
weather mild.
The moss on the trees was reported
by another delegate to show conclu-
sively that a hard winter is coming
Go out in the woods" said the moss
man, land look at the trees. On the
north side of them you will find a
heavy growth of moss. That's natures
protection for the tree and a sure sign
of hard winter.
Among all the varying signs the
goosebone is still the most credited
one. Where the breastbone OF young
goose shows black spots II is con-
ceded that the winter is to be severe

some sensational charges. She states
they were married February 1, 1896,

beat and wounded the plaintiff and
threatened her life-that he locked
her up in the house and stood at the
door with a revolver in his hand and
threatened to kill her on the spot

Of The Visit To This City On
The 25th Of May
OF The Members OF. .PittSburg
Chamber Of Commerce
Party To Remain In Mt.
Vernon One Hour

Details for the eleventh trade extern
sion tour of the Chamber of Com
merce of Pittsburgh are being gradu-
ally worked out. The big special train
vile over the B. & o., Thursday, May
25th, at AS a. M, and leave over the
Pennsylvania lines for M'llersburg at
945 a. m, central time. 1t is desired
to meet the local business men social
ly, utilizing as much time as possible
in this manner. Little speech making
is wanted. 1t is understood that the
Pittsburghers prefer to meet Mount
Vernon merchants on the arrival of
the train and go direct with them to
their various places of business. No
orders will be solicited
One of the many novel features of
the special train will be the special
telephone and telegraph service. Both
the Bell and Independent companies
will connect their lines with the train
during stops. This will enable the
tourists to be practically in constant
touch with their offices, or places OF
business or homes. Arrangements
have also been made with the West
ern Union Telegraph company to in
stall an office in the observation cal
of the train. This will afford the bes
facilities for the newspaper cores
pendents aboard the best facilities fol
sending their matter to their publica
tions with the least possible delay. The
indications are that it will be the bes
and biggest trade tour that ever lef
