Gregson pushed it open. Within all
was absolute silence and darkness. I
struck a match, and lit the detectives
lantern. AS did so, and as the flick
er steadied into a flame, we all gave
gasp of surprise. On the deal
boards of the carpetless floor there
was outlined a fresh track of blood.
The red steps pointed towards us, and
led away from an inner room, the
door OF which was closed. Gregson
flung 1t open and held his light full
blaze in front of him, whilst we all
peered eagerly over his shoulders.
In the middle of the floor of the
empty room was huddled the figure of
an enormous man, his clean-shaven,
swarthy face grotesquely horrible in
its contortion, and his head enclrcled'
by a ghastly crimson halo OF blood,
lying in a broad wet circle upon the
white woodwork. His knees were
drawn up, his hands thrown out in
agony, and from the center of his
broad, brown, upturned throat there
projected the white haft of knife
driven blade-deep into his body. Giant
as he was, the man must have gone
down like pole-axed OK before that
terrific blow. Beside his right hand
a most formidable horn-handled, two
edged dagger lay upon the floor, and
near II a black kid glove.

To Make a Split Log Drag.

Editor Laurensville Herald:
Take cedar log, six or seven feet
long and ten or twelve inches in dia-
meter, and split in the middle. Set
them 30 inches apart by three cross
stakes, broad side foremost. For a
blade, use a strip Of iron, four feet
long, four inches wide and fourth
of an inch thick, on the ditch end Of
the front slab, wedged out about an
inch by a three cornered piece OF
wood, so as to give it a set like the
bit Of plane. The end Of the blade
next to the ditch should be a half
inch below the wood, and the end at
the middle of the slab should be flush
with the wood. The drag should be
run at an angle of about As degrees,
and when the ground is moist, but
not sticky. Two medium size horses
can pull it. The blade can be fasten-
ed on with about ten penny nails,
through small holes punched through
the blade. The blade can be priced OH
and lowered when it wears down.
