as good made. He resealed the envelop, put the

that if he tipped them off they would collect the reward

working for. O'Shea was jubilant.
@He found that the address given in Pyes note was
that of small family hotel. O'Shea took front room
and interviewed the chambermald who corroborated
the note. Mr.. Stevens and young boy with black
hair-not red mind you-had a tworoom suite on the
floor below. OShea spent three hours at the window
watching the street. At about four o'clock he saw
Lemon coming in with the boy, and he OF his
quarry. He out and wired Courtenay to come on

office he found from the chambermaid that Stevens and
his pseudo son had already left

through his fingers, but he had given Courtenay evil

nothing to do but get away and start on new
search He cursed his indiscretion with the chamber
maid packed up his valise, and came back to Boston,

child himself Meanwhile, Courtenay had raised his
reward to five thousand dollars, making seven thousand

she was living alone in the Samoset House, as Mrs
Stevens. OShea made the acquaintance of the clerk
posing as federal Secret Service agent and finally got
possession of letter from Pye, giving his address in
Detroit. OShea was off again, mad and tired and
anxious.
3This time, when he got to the address, he bang
into Pye who was coming the door alone. O'Shea
had tried to disguise himself with red wig, court
plaster patches, and bandage; but his little red eyes
and his little black teeth gave him away.
Lemon gave one look at hinn-Lenon's eyes bored
in like corkscrew-and he chuckled Well, he said

of Lemons cleverness went
up. He was considerably
afraid, too, that his own part
in the business might be
traced, and kept pretty
quiet. He was desperately
hard up now, and kept his
eyes open for a means of
raising money more easily
than by working for it.
"His wife's sister, mean

not happy, these days.
@One day he was riding in

and sat down beside him.
They were discussing some
thing earnestly, and O'Shea,
always with his ears open for

he couldn't make out what
they were talking about;
but finally it developed that
one was telling of a basket
of silverware,-a large bas-

compartments, containing a
complete assortment of solid

sounded good to O'Shea. He

Grandmas Quote Spirits in Suit

The evidence, aside from testimony
showing good character of the liti-
gants and their ability to provide for
the girl, deals almost exclusively with
matters spiritual, so that Judge Ran
sier was put in a position where he
must act as umpire between two dis
putatious spooks.
The principal oral witnesses were
the grandmothers, but a lot Of docu-
mentary evidence was submitted, all
purportng to have emanated from the
spirit world. Mrs. Edwards testified
that she was able to get into commu-
nication with her son, Bart, father of
of jeanette, more satisfactory when
she had the child with her and that
he was far happier under such cir
cumstances than when his child was
with her maternal grandmother.
Mrs. Robinson gave precisely SINH
lar testimony with respect to the
spirit of her daughter, and gave this
as the principal cause of action. On
cross-examination she admitted she
was not fully informed on all the ins
and outs of spiritualism and was not
entirely clear as to whether she actu-
ally talked to her daughter or wheth-
er it was only her "subconscious self"
with whom she conversed, but she
was sure the influence of her daugh-
ter was directing her in the suit

ternally indistinguishable from the
gray. time worn abbey itself. Here
the professional order will be formed
before the king and queen proceed to
the place of crowning. The special
coronation committee, the earl mar
shal of England and almost every gov
ernmental department are busy with
some part of the coronation prepara'
tions.
For the decoration Of the streets a
special committee has been appointed,
and an attempt will be made to give
the West end the appearance OF fairy
land. The ceremonial service at the
abbey will be extraordinarily rich and
original.
People from every quarter of the
globe are booking hotel rooms and Wis
itors already are on the way to Lon
don from distant parts Of the world,
intending to make a holiday here dur
ing the brilliant season.

theatrical event in the history Of the

she had sent Wesley home. In the

PREDICT BIG CROPS
Reports From North, West and
South Indicate Good Year.
Soil Conditions Are Excellent and
While Individual Crops May Be
Smaller Than Last Year, They
Are Diversified.

ST. Louis-Reports on agricultural
indications from all the great pro
ducing states of the middle west, the
north, the northwest, the west. the
southwest, the south and the south
east are exceptionally propitious,
Weather conditions have put the soil
into the best of shape and everything
Is favorable tor large and good crops
Interpretation OF the reports, OBJ
tained from authentic and reliable
sources. leads 10 the conclusion that,
while the crops may not be as large,
individually, as last year the produe'
ton will be more diversified and the
total output win be enormous.
Should this understanding OF the
reports materialize, the tendency
would be toward comparatively high
prices. At the same time the volume
Of the general agricultural production
should AFFORD employment to a vast
army of laborers and cause such a
distribution of the revenue as to vital
lie trade.
Taking the producing territories In
their entirety, the soil conditions are
better than ordinary and the crop
prospects are excellent There is one
locality In the southwest and one IN
the northwest which declare weather
and soil conditions 10 be discouraging
and Montana fears that a too rapid
thawing Of the mountain SHOWS might
result In another dry season. Other
wise the reports are more than graft
flying.
All the crops, without exception, are
said to be at least as good as a year
ago. with better soil conditions. In
fact, It would not be surprising II the
grain production should exceed the
forecast, In which case prices would
not be so high.
But the communications appear to
show at present that while individual
crops will not be extraordinary, the
total production will be enormous. In
any event, the farmers look forward
to a very prosperous year, and this, OF
course, means heavy wholesale and re
tail trade
The fruit crop has not been dam
aged much. Most of the reports indi'
cate rather a large and qualitative
fruit crop. The same inference holds
regarding early vegetables.
Probably the most significant fea'
ture of the communications is the ex
pansion of farming in southeastern
and southern states. Diversification
steadily IS becoming a more vital fac
tor in American production. The col
lective reports seem to indicate large
and diversified crops, with work for
many Iaborers and the probability oi
comparatively high prices.
They assure a prosperous year to
the farmer, the merchant and the
workman, provided the turns Of the
seasons are favorable to the crops aud
normal weather promises favorable
| conditions.

IMPORTER OF ANIMAL SKINS
United States Does Immense Business
With South and Central Amer
lean Hunters In Hides.

Los Angeles, Gala large business
is done between the South American
countries and the United States in
the line Of skins, most of which are
made use of in the manufacture OF
gloves.
The trade is particularly active in
deerskins, which are gathered in
Mexico and Central America and in
the northern countries Of South Amer
lea, including Brazil. In these coun-
tries, where deer abound, there are
many natives who make a living col
lecting deer hides, which they bring
by muleback or foot to the various
places where the importers agents
are found
The supply is still large, but with
continued killing the deer in these
countries are less plentiful than they
were
Deerskins are shipped dry in bun
dies Of 100 each. They are tanned in
this country and used here in the
manufacture of light and medium
weight gloves for men and women.
Boarskins come from Mexico, and
the hide of the Mexican pecary, with
fur or bristles of a pepper and salt
mixture in color, the beast being a
savage-looking animal alive. Like
deerskins, boar hides are shipped dry,
The boarskin makes a heavier leather
than deerskin and is used for glove
trimmings.
Goatskins in large number are i'm
ported from the various Latin-Amer-
lean countries, including the West
Indies; but the great source Of the
worlds supply of goatskins are China,
Russia and the East Indies. in the
order named From those countries
there are imported into the United
States annually millions Of goatskins,
which are made into leather, 80 per
cent of which is used in the manufac-
ture Of shoes.
From the countries to the south Of
the United States are brought an
nually some thousands of alligator
hides, mostly from Mexico and the
United States of Colombia, with some
from Ecuador.
Formerly some alligator leather
was used for shoes and boots, but
now it is used chiefly in the manu-
facture Of handbags and suit cases.
Occasionally there are brought here
a few manatee or seacow hides,
which come from Mexico. These
hides are shipped wet salted. The
manatee hide tans into very thick
leather, cheaper than walrus leather,
but used like it for the making Of
bufing wheels for polishing purposes.
From Mexico also come a few tiger
cub skins, which are tanned and
made up into rugs.

ID OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to the
/ story told by Mrs. Mary Gugisa
Of 1917 South Lee street, this city, to
Magistrate Hughes she and her three
children we're sold by her husband for
81 to man who she declares, has
threatened to take her by force,
In broken English she asked that
her husband be found and made to
support her and the three children
whom he had left at home to starve.
Though the alleged transaction took
place some time ago and though the
woman repulsed the man who claimed
her as his property, she declared that
she was still in fear that he might
come forward, now that her husband
has disappeared, and force himself
Into her home.

that my husband sold me. He wanted
money for more liquor. He gave me
and the children for 81, and didn't
know anything about it. When the
