Word From Logan.

Word From Logan.
A week Of agonized suspense in the
Tombs seemed drawn into an eternity
Of suffering to Miss Holcomb. Con-
scious of her own innocence, she had,
nevertheless, ceased to struggle
against the relentless fate that mark
ed her as Its victim. Her sensitive
nature recoiled from contact with the
miserable creatures into whose midst
she was suddenly thrust. No longer
could she find solace In tears, for the
long drain had exhausted the supply.
The gloom of her surroundings pene-
trated the innermost sanctuary Of her
soul.
Doctor Fitch was in the reception
room.
A groan, as Of physical pain. came
from Fitch as he beheld Miss Holcomb
in the wan light that filtered through
the window. Her distress reacted on
his sensibilities; he could utter no
word Of encouragement.
1T Is awful" he moaned, as he led
her into corner of the room.
And they all believe me guilty?'
she asked despairingly.

trict Of Russian and Hungarian Jews.
The teacher was explaining the
meaning Of the word judicious. She
asked the children to give her stories

After several had given illustra-

But 1t is cruel, 1t is inhuman. to

Missioner.
"It is necessary" assured Britz.
my dear madam, don't excite your
self. My blundering colleagues have
done all the harm they can possibly
do to Miss Holcomb. Far more i'm
portant than the recovery of the neck
lace is the establishment Of her in
nocence in the eyes Of the world.
With all the suspicious circumstances
Of this case woven about her, your
mere belief in her innocence will not
clear her. Therefore, you will have
to leave this entire matter in my
hands"
The widow bowed submissively. A
shade of sorrow crept over her face
as she contemplated the plight Of her
secretary.

that the proportion Of Indian meal In

Is mentioned In the selectmen's or.

the use of Indian meal as substitute

Mrs. Missioner.
Britt eyed the woman impressively.
I'VE must bear in mind" he said,
that whoever stole the jewels must
have been in possession Of the real
necklace long enough to have a du-
plicate made. Either that, or he must
have been so familiar with every
stone In the setting as to enable him
to have duplicates made from descrip-
.tion. The only reasonable supposition
is that the duplicate was made direct
ly from the original. 1t Is barely pos
sible, however, that some other means
were employed"
"That Is the most puzzling feature
of the theft" said Mrs. Missioner.
How long have you known Mr..
Sands?" asked Britz.
From girlhood."
"And Mr.. Griswold?"
About five years."
Both saw the necklace on you fre.
quently?"
VERY often"
After several thoughtful moments,
Britz remarked: ..--
"The only one who could have taken
the necklace out Of the safe without
your knowledge was Miss Holcomb.
One Of the original diamonds was
found in her room. 1t Is absolutely
clear to me that she Is innocent"
do you really think so?" the Wild
ow asked eagerly.
1T is as certain as that someone
stole the necklace" answered Britz,
Then we must get her out of jail

Putting Down Well
H. J.. AlcROberUs and Walter Bradshaw
are putting down an irrigation well for
Wade Herren four miles southeast OF

The screen and casing VIII be OF No. 10

with a No. 8 pump and a So b. p. engine.
1t Is curious that when the test hole
for this well was put down two months
ago that the first water was encOun-
tered at So feet, whereas the machine
putting down the regular well encOun-
tered the water yesterday at 40 feet. Tt
is thus seen that the Water-level has
raised six feet in two months. John
