tepplating buying something for their

been heard about prices advancing, but

about prices coming down The public

What the Poacher Had to Say.

What the Podcher Had to Say.
a MONG all those dreadful
n days Of which the memory is
& = as Of some horrible night
mare, ! think the Sunday was the
worst. On the others there were
the ordinary daily activities with
which one tried to occupy ones
mind, .but on the Sunday there
seemed nothing to do bat just to
think, think OF { all. of its horror
and of the mystery, wondering how
Il could have come about until
ones mind was in a stupid maze.
1t was by no means the day OF
rest and even of enforced idleness
with Sergeant Crisp that 1t was
with us. He breakfasted early and
came I'D to the Summer house to
see whether the scene OF the crime
would have any new suggestions to
offer him in the morning. ! do not
know that he found anything to in
terest him especially, but he did
meet one whom he particularly de-
sired to see-the keeper, Livesay.
Livesay came along the main path
as the detective was looking out,
from the front Of the Summer
house, up the short path which
Joined the main one. He signed
to the keeper that he would like a
word with him.
He studied the countryman's big,
sturdy frame and uncompromising,
unintelligent face as they met, and
felt almost inclined to acquit him
on sight Of any hand in the muir
der. There was one fact, however,
in possible connection with the
keeper which he wished to deter
mine, but, as usual with him, he
did not go directly to his end. He
preferred to pursue his favorite
plan of appearing to take the per.
son from whom he wished to ex-
tract information into his conf
dence and to ask his help.
"You will realize" he caid, after
a few exchanges of words Of no i'm.
portance. that we should be a
great deal nearer knowing who did
this thing II we could find the
weapon"
Livesay said approvingly that
the same thought had occurred to
him.
In very casual, perfunctory
manner the sergeant then began to
let his eyes rove over the ground
in the neighborhood Of the Sum
Iner-house. If he intended to con
vey to the keeper that this was the
way In which the high command al

Thus adjured to greater effort
Livesay stretched himself at length
on the turf. with his boot soles
looking up to the sky. II was the
moment for which the detective
had been waiting. In an instant
he had the paper soie-pattern from
his pocket and had applied IT to
tn, sole of the keepers right boot
The pattern fell well within the
outline Of the very bread and large
sole which almost took the ser
geant in the face as Livesay, with

were all kinds OF rumors as To the
strange collection OF livestock that
might be found there II anyone was
allowed TO investigate, and strange
sights were seen through the In

fierce canine voices came from II.
and A was said that the neighbors
ON either side did not regard II as

II was known TO be the home OF
ferrets and OF tame rabbits. as we'll

try went a-missing In the neighbor'

That was a permission, however,
which was never accorded. and any
attempt at forcing an entry war

successfully, for in the first place

home, was a very formidable fgure

and abetted by a fierce visaged
mongrel or two barring their teeth

cation of the kind, he surely could
not have been aiming at conveying
TO him a great opinion OF their
methods. Still. in his own observ.
ant way Livesay let his own eyes,
following the lead of the sergeants,
roam over the ground likewise.
"Now, there" exclaimed the ser
geant, as if he had made a sudden
discovery. There now" he point

the keeper. for he said admiringly:

yours-a very likely place"
az wonder now," said Crisp.
would you-would you mind-you
have on such a good suit-but
would you mind, in a case like this,
seeing If you can feel anything
down there?"
Livesay was indeed gloriously ar
rayed in that compromise which is
the recognized cross between a
keepers weekday velveteen and
his Sunday best. They can never
really take a day Of rest, because
their day of rest is likely to be the
day Of the poacher's keenest indus

that he would have try. He took
his coat off and, kneeling down and
pushing up his shirt sleeve, reached
down as far as his arm would 60.

the truth, and let the chance OF

Livesay having failed to extract
anything except much native soil
from the rabbit h 'e, the dete;-
tive's interest seemed to lapse. for
the moment, from the knife prob
lem. He began to make inquiries
of the keeper about the village OF
Upper Scotney and at what point
IN il he might find the residence Of
Mr.. Heasden.
The village consists in the main
of one long street with houses

cottages have little gardens at

had said had been brought to his

words. "but still all those argn-

It seemed a high note on VIII ch
