man named Houseman, and somebody
else was sure that when Clark was
last seen he was in Houseman's COM
pany.
MIR. Houseman, who also had u
somewhat ragged reputation, still in
Tested the community. SO he was
rounded up by the centurions and ask
ed to explain the disappearance of his
o1d.time running mate. At first he pro-
fessed to be greatly shocked that any
body would think him guilty of con-
tributing to Daniels disappearance.
His righteous indignation was worth
going miles to see. But when he had
spent u few days in the village toll
booth, his conscience got in its work,
and he made confession. The bones
which had been dug up were not those
OF Daniel Clark. He didn'r know whose
they were. Daniel was buried in an
entirely different place, and he guided
the officers to the proper spot. They
went to work with spades and dug up
the bones of the late Mr.. Clark. That
he had been murdered was obvious.
Some Of his bones were fractured and
his skull had been caved in.
In the excitement and enthusiasm
over this discovery the original bones
were forgotten, and the mystery they
represented never was cleared up.
They also Indicated a murder, but the
sea must give up its dead before the
identity Of the victim will be estab-
nshed.
Then Mr.. Houseman made an elab-
orate explanation Of the whole busl-
ness, He and Clark and Eugene Arnm
had been associated for some time in
4 general scheme of swindling. Aram.

who was educated and clever. directed
operations. and Clark and Houseman
did the course work. Aram wasn't
exactly popular with his associates.
He was domineering and treated them
contemptuously. He spent his even
ings in his cottage, reading and study
ing. while they were out rustling. and
then they had to call upon him and
divide the spoil. Naturally, they felt
that their faces were being ground by
the iron heel of tyranny.
One evening they made an especial
ly good haul, having disposed OF some
goods which had been obtained by
fraud, and when they called upon Eu-
gene to declare a dividend, he COM
planned that the cottage was close and
stuffy. and invited them to take
walk with him. Aram and Clark went
on ahead. into field. Presently
Houseman heard them quarrellng and
then heard the sickening thud of a
club striking human flesh. He ran to
the scene of the disturbance and found
Clark lying dead. Houseman was
badly ratified and ran away. The next
day he visited Aram's cottage. and Flu
gene threatened him with all kinds of
catastrophes If he spoke of what he
had seen. Knowing that Eugene was
dangerous. Mr.. Houseman preserved
mastery silence, and the murderer
moved away from the neighborhood.
The village sleuths got busy and
traced him to Kings Lynn, where he
was quietly employed as an usher In
school, and from that school he was
led forth with gives upon his wrists"
He made strenuous defense when
placed upon trial. There is no record
that he ever denied committing the
crime, but he tried to prove his inno-
cence by technical stratagem. The
weak point Of the prosecution was
that the only direct evidence against
him was the testimony of Houseman,
and 1t was generally agreed that
Houseman couldn't tell the truth with
out undergoing severe strain. Aram's
first contention was that the bones
were those of woman, but the medi-
cai practitioners soon disposed of that
There were many witnesses who testi-
fed to the good character of the pris-
that his days were honestly laborIous,
his nights Intensely studious. Then
his lawyers tried to show that the
condition of the bones didn't necessar-
lily indicate murder. The bones of this
skeleton were fractured, but so were
those of the Archbishop of York when
exhumed in 1923, and he certainly was
not murdered. Every trick known to
the lawyers of that period was resort
ed to, but hll In vain. The jury found
him guilty, and Aram was returned
to his cell to await the executioner.
This Is the history of crime which
was sordid in itself, crime commit
ted by man who had no other claim
to distinction than a handsome face
and an education better than the com.
mon. Yet, after a century and n half,
crime and criminal still live in song
and story because they happened to
engage the attention of two great
geniuses of the pen.

Record Load Of Legs.

The largest load OF logs ever drawn
by team of horses hitched to a sleigh
was recently hauled fifteen miles from
lumber camp in Beltraml county,
Minnesota, to the town Of Pine Island,
where 1t was shipped on nine freight
cars to the nearest saw mill. Six
horses we're required to haul the mon
ster load, which consisted OF 200
twelve.foot logs, weighing approx
mately 250 tons. When sawed up
these logs produced over $4,000 feet
of lumber. The flfteen-mlle trip was
made in a little more than eight hours
with occasional breathing spells for
the horses. In winter logs are always
hauled on sleighs. which Ia much
easier method OF transportation than
by wagon inasmuch as the runners OF
the sleighs do not sink into the
ground.

MENACE OF THE UNFIT
ClRE EVIL OF WAR POINTED OUT
BY SCIENTIST.
Best Blood Of the Countries Inv lived
u Poured Out on the Battle Fields
and Future Generations VIII
Be the Sufferers.

The racial damage which has been
done to the people Of Europe by the
killing and manning OF the higher type
OF manhood was discussed recently
by Mai. Leonard Darwin, son OF
Charles Darwin, the naturalist, at o
meeting OF the Royal Statistical 30
ciety in London, observes the New
York Sun.
In the course OF his paper on The
Statistical Inquiries Needed After the
War in Connection With Eugenics,'
Major Darwin stated that the British
casualties might be about 6h per cent
Of all the fighting men available.
Major Darwin stated that unaues'
tionably the war was killing OF tho
better types OF men. He pointed out
that the active causes OF the racial
damage would not cease with the war;
because the birth rates OF the higher
types would continue to be adversely
affected Only those born in the last
eighteen years would be entirely un'
damaged by the war, he said. and
would be increasingly necessary dur
ing the next twenty years to empha'
size the fact that in cases where both
parents are fairly healthy II Is unps-
triotic and immoral to limit the size
OF the family except in view of bring
Ing the children up in comfort
He stated that the racial damage
would be at it's worst when peace was
declared. The checking OF the multi
plication OF the ur4t would never be
more needed than then, he added.
Prof. Arthur Keith, conservator OF
the museum and Hunterian professof
of the Royal College Of Surgeons,
when interviewed on the subject AZ
the Royal College OF Surgeons by a
representative OF the Pail Mall ca
zette said he was not aware OF the
existence OF any statistics which went
to show that the stature of the French
nation diminished after the Napoleon
ic wars.
"The question is: Are we losing
our best men? There is no doubt We
are losing our bravest men. The men
OF the highest physical courage, OF the
highest patriotism, have volunteered
but have these men left children be-
hind? If they have, and, of course
we know they have, then the nation
cannot be affected as a whole.
1T should be remembered that our
males up TO the age of eighteen re-
main untouched and that part OF tho
population cannot be injured. .
There is another point to consider
The men who are most eminently ht-
ted for our modern civilization-for
our industrial civilization-are not the
bravest men of the nation at all The
extremely brave man is of no use In ir'
dustrial life. II is nonsense to talR
about war being the cause OF the catas'
trophe OF eliminating the best men.
Warfare goes on in the industrial
world, but the warfare Of the indrs'
trial world is waged by competition
not bravery. In the one case 1t Is
physical courage, bravery, that counts;
In the other versatility and brains'
