went in search of the servants
and learned from them two i'm
portant facts: First, that the H.
brary had not been swept since
Monday night, although it had
been busted; second, that the
maid who busted it distinctly re-
membered seeing the bronze pa
per-weight in its usual place, and
also asserted that the large ink
stand was undisturbed, and that 1t
did not need re-filling.
/ went to the library, determin-
ed to discover something, IL I
had to remain there all day.
First, l looked at the bronze
horse as It stood on the library
table. This table, which was real
ly flat-topped desk, was cover
ed with books, whiting imple-
ments and bric-a-brac.

He placed in my hand a large

The design, deeply cut into the
stone, was a crest, coat-of-arms
and motto, that | realized at once

Reassured by the forgiveness of
her theft. the maid showed us
where she had found the seal. be-
meath a chair near the library
window.
Ii seemed she had found 1t early
Tuesday morning, before | my
self had looked for clues and had
found the black spang1es. Since
she had dustet-but not swept, she
had not noticed the spangles; but
the seal had naturally attracted
her attention as being valuable,
and she had dishonesty kept it.
Hunt" said, there is one
thing | can swear to, and that is
- Wait moment" said
Hunt, giving me a warning glance.
Emily, you may go now, and I'M

theft, only on condition that you
tell nobody about the matter"
She left the room and Hunt closed
the door.

You're wrong, Hunt, 1t does

Great goodness" exclaimed
Hunt. How do you know"
We were I'm Mr.. MaxwelPs

ginning to arrive for the dance.
We happened to be speaking of
seals. and Lord Clarence showed
us this one. So, my lard was in
this room that EVENING""
But 1t might have been before
the murder, King"
But he said at the inquest he
wasn't in this room all the even
ing. And, you know, he didn't
come up here when We rushed up.
He stayed below, and looked after
the guests. l thought that was a
particularly clever thing for him
to do. But now"
And also his lordship has
about half an hour on the west
veranda unaccounted for, just at
the time of the murder. Don't you
remember, he said he was smok-
ing a cigaret, and a long gray
motor whizzed past him-and all
that? 1t looks little queer, King.
What's the explanation"
Il don't know, I'm sure; but
let's put it right up to him. I
know If anybody found evidence
against me, I'd rather they'd
come straight to me with it,,
than to go nosing around"
I'm not sure that's the, best
plan said Hunt. doubtfully;
but YOU know him better than

Hunt put the seal in his peck

IcHABOD'S REPORT.
Graveiy Put Into Rhine by an old Time

About the year 1871, according TO an
old collection OF historical miscellany
published nearly a century ago. sloop

about the Boston wharves by the name
of Copper Bottom was owned by VIII
liam Rotch and others, among whom
was said to be the Hon. John Hancock.
BY order OF the board OF war, then
sitting in Boston, this vessel was
seized for some violation of the law.
Ichabod Plaisted, the naval officer OF
the port, made the seizure. He was
not man of any learning or of very
much wit, and he begged a certain
Captain DOwse of his acquaintance 10
help him write the letter in which he
should advise the board OF war Of the
proceedings under its order.
The worthy captain, who loved a joke
very dearly, composed the following
epistle, which Mr.. Plaisted very grave

of war;

NATIVES OF ALASKA.
Both Glasses of Them Seem to Be OF
Asiatic Origin.


Asiatic Origin.
There are but two classes Of ma
tives In Alaska-Eskimos and Siwash
Indians. Eskimos live along the north
ern coast line, while the Siwash Is
found in every part Of Alaska.
The Eskimo is probably of Mon
golian extraction, and the Siwash GER
tainly is. In a mixed company Of ST.
wash Indians and Chinese coolies, all
dressed In similar garb, 1t would be
impossible to distinguish one from the
other by physical appearance alone.
Likewise In speech the cultural tones
are identical, and peculiarities Of In
Election and the UNCONSCIOUS little
mannerisms of orientals and Siwashes
are as strikingly similar as their phys
ical characteristics. The Siwash vo-
cabulary contains between 200 and 300
words-some villages using more and
others fewer words, but all containing
some words Of oriental origin.
The language OF all Siwashes was
unquestionably the same originally,
although at present the inhabitants OF
some villages are unable to under
stand the language spoken In others.
The speech Of these natives on the
Aleutian islands probably shows the
widest divergence from the original
of all the various dialects.
Many Indians speak Russian, and
not few speak the provincial idiom
called Chinook, common In British Co
lumbia. Washington and some other
states.
