"The victim was George Flushing,

Yesterdays Mystery Solution

HARVEY HUNTS deduction in the
IL case Of "How Judge Faxon was
Killed. was very simple one.
There was no murderer, because no
body could have deliberately killed
Judge Faxon under those conditions.
His death was an accident, one of those
accidents which happen once in mil
lion times. 1t was a stray bullet that
killed him.
Harvey Hunt knew this because he
knew Il was impossible to aim a rifle

RETAIN THEIR WILD INSTINCT
In Common With Their Brethren
e.. Who Have Freedom.

The tame" buffalo Of Yellowstone
National Park, are tame only in the
manner of speaking. They retain all
the habits Of the original wild species.
For instance, they are able, without
fail to predict heavy storm for one
or two days in advance. As the BUT
falo Of the old plains were known to
do, they point the storm, standing
with the head toward the point from
which it afterward breaks. Another
sign Of uneasiness induced by heavy
weather is the stiff-legged leaping and
running about in circles which often
mark the herd just before storm
breaks on their range. They live prac-
tically in all respects the wild life Of
the so-called wild herd Of the park,
with the exception that they are
watched by horsemen and are fed hay
during the most inclement weather Of
the winter. The ranges Of the tame and
wild herds overlap to some extent, and
without doubt they occasionally inter-
breed. The original hope, which has
not been realized, was that some Of the
tame herd would drift of and becomt
members Of the wild herd.

BELL CASTING IN OLD JAPAs.
People Gather In Thousands 70 VIII.
ness Ceremony Which Has Deep
Religious Significance.

The making Of the bell in old Japan
was accomplished by great and solemn
rites, Marjorie Latta Barstow writes
in Asia. For months, sometimes for
years, the community had been con-
tributing Of its bronze and copper or
naments and precious possessions.
For many days before the casting
there were prayers to determine the
suspicious moment at which to begin,
and to put all spiritual beings and
ministers of grace in a pr0pitious
mood. Pilgrims came from all the
surrounding country, for the Japanese
Of long ago loved a pilgrimage as
much as do their descendants today;
and made Of their act Of piety an OPP
p0rtunity to enjoy little festivity
and see something of the great world.
On the appointed day, men gathered
In their finest attire. Then the priests
appeared in rich ecclesiastical bro
cades and the workmen in robes beau.
tiful and sanctified. With prayer and
ceremony the work reached its climax.
The great molds were prepared and
the flaming, molten mass, into which
had gone so many precious things,
was to them what the dedication Of
cathedral was to the believers of the
middle ages. Before their eyes and
with their own cooperation, some
thing intangible and divine assumed
shape and tangibility. Many went
away to become heroes in their VII
lagos because they had participated
in the making of the great bell, which
became more precious and mysterious
as time went on. and they passed on
to their cllildren's children, even down
tS' this day, the souvenirs of the occa-
sion, inscribed with prayers by the
presiding priests.

One who had as much claim as any
other to the distinction of most emf

the greatest figures of the past. Vol.

other great man who remained single
In' the realm Of warfare few of the
really great have remained bachelors.
Perhaps the most eminent Is Lord
Kitchener, who was so largely re.
sponsible for England's military
strength In the World war.
Eliminating these few the list pre-.
sents a more complicating problem to
one who would pick the greatest.
There are several others of about
equal prominence. Among the paint.
ers Raphael stands out as one of the
greatest to die unmarried. Chopin
and Beethoven achieved fame In the
realm Of music without the inspira-
ton of helpmate.
Several modern writer's, poets and
essayists achieved prominence by
themselves. Charles Lamb, Alexander
Pope, Walt Whitman, Phillips Brooks,
Henry James, Whittier and Swinburne
head the list.
Petrarch was an unmarried histori-
an, and Cecil Rhodes, also single, at
tanned great prominence. Few men have
become famous as statesman without
marrying before the end of their ca.
reer. President Buchanan was q
notable exception.

rage. AS she entered the brilliantly

arisen from the maid having laid out
