only sehous-I will not call It break -
but hiatus-in my theory. From $50
o'clock the noxt morning. however. her
movements can be easily followed. A
young lady. dressed AZ you know, ap-
preached the station with obvious ner.
vousness.
Three things attracted the atten-
tion Of the officials; first. the discrep.
ancy between the simplicity-I might
almost say the poverty-of her clothes.
and the fact that she purchased q
first-class ticket: secondly. that she
was 20 heavily veiied that II was evi.
dent that she did not wish her features
to be seen. and. thirdly. that she had
no luggage except a small handbag.
How her ladyship managed to elude the
police. and what has subsequently oc-
Cured to her. do not need to tell

that the young lady 10 her ladyship-
not in the least. You yourself admit
that there IL hiatus In your story; we'll.
that hiatus 10 to mo q gulf which you
have failed to bridge. Because one lady
disappears from Geralton, and another
appears the next morning IN New
haven, you insist the two are identical.
But you have not offered me one iota
of proof that such Is the case"
"What more proof do you want? She
by train or boat whoever vaguely re-
sembled her lsdyship."
THAT means nothing. Hcr ladyship
may not have come to NewhaVen at all.
but have been driven to some hiding
place in the F'renchman's car.
II think that quite impossible. for
every house, every cottage, every stable
and barn even for twenty-five miles
around has been carefully searched.
Besides, this would mean that the muir
der had been premeditated and the com.
ing OF the motor had been prearranged;
and, lastly as the gardeners wife testi-
fes that the car left Geralton certainly
no earlier than II 80. and as the two
men reached the hotel before II. this
precludes the possibility that they could
have done more than drive straisnt BACK
to the Inn. as the motor IL by NJ means

"Impossible, In the first place, they
left aione-the porter saw them on; and,
secondly. no one except the two
Frenchmen purchased q ticket for tho
Continent, either In the Newhaven office
or on the boat"
logic was horribly convincing: no small
| est detail had apparently escaped him.
As the man piled argument on argu.
ment he found himself slowly and
Srudgtngly accepting his conclusions.

OBITUARY
Job Sh.ppard

Job Sheppard, son of Job and Har-
riett Sheppard. was born at Shawhill,
Wiltshire, England, April 8, 1860. He
was married to Eliza Burden December
rs. 1881. To this union seven children,
four daughters and three sons were
born. He. with his wife and two
children. came to the United States in
1887.
He was engaged in the lumber and
milling business for years at Mt. Carr
mel, Ind. He retired to Hood River
ranch four years ago. He belonged to
the Established Episcopal church of
England and to the Presbyterian
church of this country. He was al
ways an earnest christian worker both
in the church and in the organization
connected with the church. As a man
he was strong, kind, and charitable.
successful in business. loved by his
family, and respected by all who knew
him.
He passed away at his nome in Hood
River Valley, August IL, 1912. His
wife, seven children and two grand
children survive him. The following
lines from his pen give expression to
the steadfast faith that ruled his life :
stood at the foot of old Mount Hood
One beautiful moonlight night,
And as | gazed at its lofty peak
Towering above the clouds so meek
| thought of God and his might.
How long it has stood against the
storm
Is more than | can tell.
| only know that it stands there now
with its icy mantle and snow capped
brow
A Grand old Sentinel.
Just as it left the hand of God
Who doeth all things we'll;
To direct our thoughts up to him
Who lived and died yet knew no sin
That we with Him might dwell
And as stood in the valley below
Viewing Gods work so grand
| thought to myself what brought me
here?
Was it the guiding hand Of my
heavenly Father?
That, did not understand.
But knew whatever the cause might
be
could trust it was Gods will
Who holdeth the seas in the palm of
his hand
And placed these mountains with his
command
And now says, peace. be still.
Then | thought of the psalmist's words
When looking into the skies
And seeing Gods handiwork above
Knew all things were made by him
in love
And in his possession lies.
