"I should have known you at once
from your portrait, mademoiselle,"
he said.
"My portrait ?"
eyes; have seen it many times.
Your uncle showed it to me-"
Admiration was in his glance as
his eye travelled from Jeanne's red
gold hair to her perfect complexion
and delicately veined hands.
an. Velizay is new friend,
Jeanne dear" said her mother SIM
ply by way of introducing her Wis
itor.
"Then you, for one, feel that my
, father is Innocent" asked Jeanne
gravely.
"Indeed do. And want to help
you and your mother, il you will let
me. Anything that is in my power
to do will do"
He stayed few minutes longer,
then rose to take leave Of the two
women.
81 may call again, madame?" He
asked the question Of the mother,
but his eyes were on the daughter.
Whenever you like, M. Velizay.
We are very much alone now, and
we shall always welcome true
friend"
"She is adorable-perfectly ador-
able" he murmured, as he drove
through the Bois on his way back to
Paris. Hair like Furnished copper,
and what figure"

mo; If he is not guilty of murder
he is at least guilty of resisting
police authority. / shall be obliged
to detain him."
II think you are doing him an in
justice, sir. M. Velizay had every
reason to be indignant. l should
think that under the circumstances
reprimand would be quite sufficient
for his offense."
M. Beaulieu felt the justice of this
remcrk, but he decided to hold him
for that day. He tried in vain to
find evidence that would iucriminate
him, but at last he was forced to ad-
NIT that he was innocent.
Jacques had quite recovered his
good natdre.
"I wish you would tell me who II
was who caused my arrest" he said
to M. Beaulieu as he was leaving.
"The two Farades spoke of you
from the first"
eyes, but who told you, M. Beau
lieu, that I was coming in on the
Bordeaux express yesterday morn
ing?"
"Never mind. I'm sorry to have
detained you," said Beaulieu affably.
"Ah, I know who it was" cried
Jacques. as in a flash he recalled the
man who had travelled with him from
Saint Jean; "wait until get hold Of
HIM"

"That detective who was on the
train with me. III make him smart
for this"
Better be careful or you might
find yourself back here again." said
Beaulieu with smile.
"If you can't find the murderer,
III turn detective" said Velizay, as
he shook hands with Beaulieu.
He strolled along the boulevards
until he came to the street where he
lived. AS he passed the various
places Of amusement and read the
glaring posters he said to himself:
"Poor old Jean, and ! promised to
take him TO all the places worth see
ing and give him a good time! Now
he is lying stiff and stark in the
morgue."
Velizay lived six months in Paris
and six months in foreign lands.
When he was in Paris he only went
occasionally to the business house.
He went to study the public taste, so
as to be able to make better selec-
ton of merchandise for the next
season.
During the six months that he
stayed in Paris he lived in 4 very
handsome apartment. 1t was filled
with tapestries, rugs and curiosities
that he had brought from all parts.
He went at once to his room upon
leaving the prison. His trunks had
now arrived. He scarcely ate any
dinner because of his eagerness to
unpack the various objects he had
brought back with him. From time
to time he looked up from his un-
packing and shook his fist at an
imaginary person.
"I'll teach him to trail an innocent
man. Confound him" he muttered
fiercely. He opened the last trunk
and took out large parcel upon
which was written:

MILE. JEANNE FARADES.

His old friend had brought many
presents for his two nieces, but one
special gift that was for Jeanne, the
old mans namesake, had been put
into Velizay's trunk. His old friend
having already sent his luggage
down to the steamer,
"A present for that pretty Jeanne.
What a peach she must be-" he said,
staring down at the packet he held
in his hand. "No wonder the old
fellow swe!led with pride when he
showed me her photo. never
thought that I'd fall in love with a
girl just from gazing at her photo
graph"
His bright face became grave and
"Isoor little girl" he mused, "she
won't care about all this stuff now
Indian silks and jewelry won't
interest her much now. I'd love to
take the parcel to her myself, but
it will be embarrassing to speak to
to her Of her uncle, and yet somehow
l feel l ought to CO."
The next day after luncheon he
took cab and drove cut to Boulogne
"I need not go again if they are
COOL" he thought. "They may not
believe that / am innocent"
The servant asked for his card,
which he refused to give.
"Mme. Faradas does not know
me-" he said; "but would like to
speak to her on an important mat
ter"
Nine. Farades had just returned
from Paris. She had been to the
prison to see her husband.
Excuse me for intruding upon
you," began Jacques as he came into
the room, her face pale and her eyes
red with weeping: "My name is
Velizay-Jacques Velizay."
There. was an embarrassing 81
lence. Nine. Farades had thought,
as did every one, that Jacques We
lizay was the murderer.
~ do not understand what brings
you here" she said, trying to steady
her voice.
at is only natural, madame, that
I should call upon you. M. Jean
Farades was an old friend of mine,
and before leaving Calcutta he put
a packet in my trunk. 1t is ad-
dressed to your daughter"
Nine. Farades took the parcel he
ilClu Outp HulStly.
"Thank you. AS the object of
your visit is accomplished, permit
me"
"You are sending me away! Will
you not allow me to express my sor-
row for you in your great trouble, !
have seen your husband only twice,
but I am convinced that he is inno-
cent. %
an. Jean Farades had spoken to
me many times of his relations, and
/ had looked forward to meeting you
Do not treat me as a stranger, If !
can be of any service to you"
He stopped. His frank kindly
manner seemed to have won Nine
Farades. She looked at him in
silence for one moment; then she
held out her hand and said:
"Many of our friends have turned
from US, and yet this is the time we
most need them. I would like you to
meet my daughter"

tate that his brother had ieft, and
this had been taken possession OF oy

The theory was that he had been
killed so that his two nephews would
not be forced to share the estate with
him. The accused stated in the most
positive manner that their uncle was
accompanied by man named Jac.-
ques Velizay. The police neglected
to mention this man to the newspa-
per reporters, because here was
something that baffled them.
Either this Velizay did not exist
and it would be wiser not to mention
him for fear of being ridiculed; or il
this man did exist it was almost GER
tain that he was implicated in the
crime. In the latter case it would be
more prudent to keep his name out
of the papers, for il the alarm were
given he might escape.

PREPARE LAND FOR
STAND OF ALFALFA
Best Method of Inoculating Is
to Use Soil From Old Field
Keep Weeds Out.

Alfalfa Is hard crop to start. 1t is
delicate and tender, and to put alfalfa
on ordinary land without any protec-
ton or help is about like throwing
away four dollars an acre.
Put on 20 to 80 loads of manure per
acre; you are preparing the land for
ten years.
But the land must first be worked
over and over until it is free from
weeds. It may take a disking or har-
rowing every ten days all summer to
do this.
II the soil 10 acid, as shown by the
simple litmus-paper test, put on the
ground limestone. Inoculate the
ground and SOW the alfalfa the last of
July or the first of August.
The best method of inoculating the
soil is to use soil from an old alfalfa
field or from a patch of sweet clover,
. wagon load or more per acre, but
this soil must not lie on top Of the
ground In the hot sun many hours or
the bacteria WIN be killed.
There is littk danger from sweet
clover, which - = two-year plant, and
will not survive in the field when the
alfalfa Is moved as often as 1t needs
moving.
