would complete the circuit and dis
charge the weapon. But he had done
more. That nothing untoward might
mar the success of his scheme he had
somehow become possessed of Bent
ley's exact height and had carried
on long series of experiments until
he could be sure that the line of the
bullets path would cleave the center
of Bentley's skull. And only when
standing in a certain exact spot would
Bentley complete the circuit. He
must have crossed and recrossed the
floor a hundred times before his foot
found the terminal; he might have
lived weeks, months, even a year
but sooner or later, coincidence would
bring about that pressure Of his foot
upon the terminal and Bentley's con-
sequent destruction.
AS to the face which Sewell had
put on the clock, it came about In
this wise, as he confessed the day be-
fore his execution. In removing the
front, Sewell had dropped and frac-
tured the piece of porcelain which
bore the lettering of the numerals.
He had not dared purchase another
clock, and, since the parts of the
clocks of the two rival companies
were identical, Sewell had gone to
his own factory by night, after it had
been forced to close, and, setting up
the printing dies, had printed new

CYPRESS FOR TOBACCO BOXES
1t Is Good Substitute for Sycamore

pensive.

The suitability Of cypress for tobac.
co boxes has been made the subject
Of tests for some months by the ma.
tional department of agriculture in
cooperation with packers of plug to-.
bacco and manufacturers Of cypress
lumber.
Results have been obtained which
are announced as highly satisfactory,
according to the Manufacturers Rec
ord. The manufacturers Of plug tobac.
co have been large consumers OF
wood for many years. Owing to the
tendency of tobacco to absorb taste
and stain from wood when brought in
contact with it in the box much diff.
Guilty has often been met in procuring
suitable box material.
Sycamore has always been consid
cred one of the best woods for that
purpose, but it has become scarce
and expensive, and the search for sub
stitutes is active. The tests which
have recently been concluded werd
brought about through the desire oil

lumber which accumulates at THEFT
plants because there is small demand
for it.
In size and grade it is such lumbe,
as tobacco box makers use. The mill
men furnished the cypress lumber fol
the tests, and the tobacco manufac
turers made the boxes, filled them
with tobacco and subjected it to CON
ditions that would bring out any ur
suitable properties the wood might
have. A summary Of results shows
that plug tobacco kept four month";
in cypress boxes remained sound and
in good condition and absorbed No
taste from the wood.
The box itself is not considered

considering when large shipments ari

invited me here for purpose. Have
you any further questions to ask of

He snapped his watch ostentatious-
ly, as though he grudged each moment
spent in the presence of us amateurs.
Crewe remained silent for a moment,
more through abstraction than inso-
lence.
"Only one, sir" he answered
finally.
"And what is that?" asked Sewell,
sneering.
Crewe rose and placed himself be-
tween our guest and the door. He
peered into his face. 'Why did you
change the front of the clock?" he
demanded indolently.
The effect of this question was
amazing. All the insolence went out
of Sewells face. He sank back into
his chair and pressed his hand over
his heart. A blush pallor spread
over his features. He could not reply.
Come, Sewell," said Crewe, more
kindly. TELL us the story of how
you killed Mr.. Bentley"
But Sewell's face remained of the
same pallor. and he stared up into
his inquisitor's countenance, his mouth
partly open, his eyes CLASSY and fixed.
