ness" He paused n moment. and
then went on, I'VE have .incontro-
vertible evidence that yesterday
afternoon Sir Anthony Clyde called
upon the man Klein at q cottage on
Blencarn Fell. In Cumberland: that
he stayed here an hour and left with
q black bag In his hand. Now, mark
you. this boy. Lewthwaite. had his
eye on the cottage the whole time.
A very few minutes after Sir
Anthony's departure he peeped
through the window and saw tho
murdered body of Klein lying upon
the floor. The whole mass Of evil
dence goes to show that there were
only two men concerned In this
tragedy. Clyde and Klein. for Lew
thwaite saw no one In the room"
might a third man have been In
hiding In an upstairs room?" put In
Inspector Long.
HE might, but II Is highly i'm
probable. Besides, We have no use
FOR a third man. for the crux Of the
thing Is this: Clyde murdered Klein
and decapitated him. The head found
in the cupboard was the head re-
moved from Klein's body; We are al
most bound to believe this. from the
two surgeons' reports as to the man
ner Of decapitation-well. the head
removed from the body OF Klein was
not krein's head, for. leaving small
points aside, Klein was q clean
shaven man and the head was the
head Of bearded man.
I'VE can say now. almost for q GER
talnty, that Klein has not been MUIR
dered. and that the real victim Is q
man extraordinarily like clyde, the
supposed murderer: more. several
people have given evidence that the
head Is that of clyde"
II believe" said Freyberger. that
Sir Anthony Clyde Is innocent"

Flo examined the face.
II was a face TO give n physiogno-
mist (to use FreyberRer's e. pression)
pause. A face quite impossible to de-
scribe. One might say that ihe thssk
bones were abnormally nat and the
face very wide across them. That
the nose was terribly pinched at tho
root; that the eyes were somewhat OF
the Mopgolian typo; all this would
give no Idea Of the physiognomy upon
which Frcyberger's eyes we're nsed.
1t was n repulsivo face. even In re-
pose. and the most distinctive thing
about Il was tho expression. an sx-
preston cold and evil.
Between this faded photograph and
the retinai picture there lay u world
OF difference, all tho difference be-
tween q landscape seen In tho calm
OF a still winters day and the same
landscape tempest torn: yet they were
pictures Of the same person. and OF
this Freyberger felt sure.
He turned the back Of the photo
graph TO the light and examined IT,
There was no writing upon It: and
yet. on closer examination, there were
some indlstinct scratches on the upper
part, as though pencil writing had
once been there and erased. on
closer examination still. he could Just
make out what seemed n capital M,
and close to tho NJ some letters
vaguely denied into tho shiny card

He wrote out a receipt on a sheet OF
paper torn from his notebook. and
with the photograph In his possession
left tho house.
When he reached the Yard II was

The chief was absent. snatchinG a

Freyberger found him aud put the
evidence he had collected In his
hands.
There Is something on tho back Of

Something has been written with 4
pencil; tho writing has seen rubbed

II have quito cast Clyde out OF my
mind" said Freyberger. Il have quite
come to the conclusion that Clyde has
no more to do with this whole case
than the child unborn. I am firmly
convinced--mind, / say this to you
privateiy--that the only criminal in
this case is the man whom Clyde Is
supposed to have murdered. that ~ to
say. the artist Klein alias Koibecker.
II believe this face to he a portrait

Nothing material has turned up. only

on the preceding day Sir Anthony

Home Products
Week.

With the proclamation of a
week to exploit our home pro-
ducts, we feel it a pleasure to
advocate such a move. to have
our peOole boost for Idaho and
our Idaho products. Our Gem
State produces nearly everything
essential for our well being. Our
natural and manufactured pro-
ducts are second to none.
Our Idaho fruits and our veg.
etables are known where
for the delicacv OF texture and
flavor. Idaho grain leads the
world. Indeed Idaho products
excel those of all Western States,
The trouble has been that we
have not emphasized them as
coming from Idaho. Our Idaho
products are beginning to get
known throughout the entire
country and the state will take
her place as one Of the leading
states in the Union for product
iveness
All next week has been set aside
Tor Home Industry week, and
we earnestly urge that everyone
Will unite and make this move
ment a successful one by buying
all Idaho goods wherever it is
possible to do so, and thus help
to build up our own industries
and boost for Idaho.
