for many centuries.
Prince Michael was the only son
of Louis de Lusignan, who was driven
from the throne of Cyprus by the
Turks In 1921. He had intrusted his
vast treasures to the Patriarch of
Constantinople, but the Turks confis-
Gated these and appropriated them
to their own use. In the war for the
liberation of Greece the prince tried
to regain his throne, but in 1897 he
had to fee to Russia, where Gear
Nicholas gave him commission as
captain In the army.
Prince Louis fought in the Crimean
war, but the result Of this was disas-

front Of the ancient hall, and then
across the lawns, over the sparkling
beyond.
WAS it for this?" l asked with a
wave of the hand.
"Yes," said Peace, Il believe 1t to
have been for Airlie Hall that he
tried to kill Fenton Heaven knows
what dismal scandal the man held
over him; but it was probably sufh-
land for ever From inquiries that
we have made, 1t appears that Fen

over two years. 1t was undoubtedly
bad case of blackmail. The young
man, on hearing of his uncle's death.
gave his prosecutor the slip, and
crossed to London. Fenton followed,
ably he demanded large sum, which
was refused him. Whereupon he de-
clared that the baronet should never
SO much as see Airlie Hall unless he
paid, and left, the young man with
that threat upon him.
For days Sir Andrew stayed sulk-
ing in his rooms. He was a man OF
violent temper and INSCRIPTIONS past.
Heaven knows what schemes of re-
venge he Matched in his rage and de-
spair. Finally, on Monday last, he
rislned discovery, disguised himself In
the beard and went down to see the
old place again. His meeting with the
keeper was chance, and their talk
of spring guns an equal accident
But the suggestion gave the baronet
an idea "A spring gun for a fox

He made the excuse of the Indian
friend, and saw Fenton again on
Tuesday, giving him an appointment
on the island at eleven o'clock on the
following Thursday night, and at the
same time promising to pay him what
he asked at the meeting. BY the

plans to Warner In disguised hand

The MYSTERY OF

(Continued.)

he said.
We tramped up the great staircase,
\ wide sweep of polished oak. where
\ dozen men could have walked
abreast. and SO down high-roofed
passage into a majestic bedroom. In
the center stood a venerable fourpost
bedstead. The columns that support
cd the canopy were finely carved, and
over the head was a faded coat OF
arms pictured in the needlework OF
two hundred years ago. The lattice
windows were open. From without
came the faint piping of the nesting
birds
Upon the bed lay something covered
with white sheeting
Peace walked up to it and
paused, staring hard at the keeper.
who stood beside me. Then with a
gentle hand he lifted the sheet. On
the pillow lay the head of an elderly
man, dark and full bearded.
Warner stepped back. clutching my
arm.

YES" said the little detective; he

For moment he stopped busying
himself about the head With a gen.

Peace gave me the details. We were

above the foliage, lay to our right,

said. was a strand of pack-thread tied
to young sapling at the spot where
the body of Sir Andrew was found.
On the other side of the path was a
narrow hole between the slabs OF
granite. where a peg had lately been
driven in. The rushes about it were
broken here and there The conclu-
sion Of spring gun was obvious,
and the reason suggested by the track
of foxes along the edge of the reeds
Was the death an accident, after all?
If SO. what business had the stranger
under arrest-Fenton, | now find is
his name-upon the island at SO late
an hour?
my conversation with the keeper
gave me some interesting results. 1t
was plainly murder. and no accident.
Some one had raised the muzzle OF
the gun so that 1t might kill a man
and not fox Some one had ex-
pected visitor to the island that
night against whom he desired to re-
venge himself. Was Fenton guilty?
The evidence against him seemed al
most conclusive He had admitted,
you will remember, that he had an
appointment with Sir Andrew. Yet,
after he had set the trap, why had
he continued to risk discovery by
lettering about the causeway? How
had he known that the spring gun was
there at all? Why had he brought q
loaded revolver? Why had he Dor
rowed the punt and reached the
island by SO unexpected manner?
Was he also afraid of some one on
some thing? Ny mind began to turn
from him to the second stranger. the
botanist with the collecting case. He
at least had information about the
setting of the gun.
There was still further point

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Although the recent heavy rains
which fell throughout Pacific North
west, did slight damage to strawberry,
cherry and alfalfa crops in some sec
lions of the country and crushed down
grain in some instances, the result on
the whole has been beneficial. Local
grain dealers who have been investi-
eating throughout. the Big Bend coun-
try, report that farmers are jubilant
over the outlook and that a conserva-
tive prophesy of the crops for that
section this season will place the yield
at from fifteen to twenty per cent in
excess of the yield of last year. In
the Palouse country the soil retains
moisture longer and the yearly pre-
c1pitation is greater, consequently the
rain was not so helpful in that dis
tricr, but in the Big Bend country, the
principal grain producing section of
the Pacific Northwest, conditions are
different and every drop of water has
it's distinct advantage.
Reports from the principal fruit
growing districts are to the effect that
the apple crop this year will range
somewhere between so and 80 per
cent of the bumper yield of last sea-
son.
In the various Industrial fields re-
ports continue to show an increase in
activity over the corresponding period
OF last year. LAUNDERING and mining
stand out especially prominent
Jobbing and retailing trade contin-
ues normal in all lines, with a steady
demand for seasonable goods. But
few advances have taken place In the
markets. Those noted were in hams,
bacon and sugar. The following com
modities declined: Lemons, oranges.
cabbage, beets, carrots, beans, cucum-
bers, tomatoes, wheat and oats.
