ICE-CREAM FACTORY.
Rapid Progress Now Being Made On
twill Open June IL.


P. S. Thorsen, of the Thorsen
Farms Products Co., has been in Ellis
worth the past week, and Is speeding
up work on the new ice-cream factory
and creamery. He has promised the
opening of the factory for business
on June II, and is going to make
good the promise. In fact, he says
he expects to make ice-cream on June
g., or perhaps sooner, but the real
opening for business will be on
June II.
Mr. Thorsen has invited the farm
ers of Hancock county to meet him at
the board of trade room in Hancock
hall next Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock, when he will talk over with
them the plans of the ice-cream
factory and creamery, and ask their
cooperation in making it success.
He hopes that the farmers of differ
ent sections, at or after this meeting,
will organize for the systematic col
lection and shipment of cream to the
factory He believes the creamery
offers rare opportunity to the farm
ers of this section, and he hopes that
they will take advantage of it.
During this visit here, Mr.. Thor
sen has added to his creamery lot by
the purchase of the Charles Pierson
house and lot The house is being
moved by Mr. Pierson to new To-
cation. The entire plot now owned
by Mr.. Thorsen is to be cleared of all
except necessary buildings, and grass
will be sown. Cleanliness, not only
within the factory building, but in
all it's surroundings, is to be the
watchword of the plant.

Relief from
Rheumatic Pains

Rheumatism is a constitutional
disease. 1t causes local aches and
pains, inf1amed joints and stiff
muscles; but cannot be permanently
relieved by local or external appli-
cations. 1t must have constitutional
treatment.
Take the great blood-purifying and
tonic medicine, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which corrects the acid condition of
the blood on which rheumatism de-
ponds, and gives permanent relief.
1t combines the most effective agents
in the treatment of this disease.

bish. The passage on which these rooms opened terminated in two stone steps :ead- ing into the kitchen, which was the full width of the house. notable piece of furniture in this room was an oaken dresser with shelves reaching to the ceiling. There were also deal table. some kitchen chairs and an armchair.
 From the blackened beams of it's low sloping ceiling some hams and strings of onions hung, and an open tea-caddy stood on the table, with leaden spoon in it. as though somebody had recently been making tea An old brown earthenware teapot stood by the fireplace with tea leaves still in the pot, and Crewe noticed on the mantelpece a churchwarden pipe, with q spill of paper alongside. He found a pair of horn spectacles and an old newspaper on the top of the press beside the old-fashoned fireplace. Evidently the kitchen had been the favorite room of Frank Lumsden's grandfather-the eccentric old mans who had built the landing place.
 Before examining the upper portion of the house Crewe closed the doors and win dows he had opened, restoring things to the condition in which he had found then Then he went upstairs, and, after opening the windows and blinds as he had opened them downstairs, entered the room in which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-01

the murdered man had been discovered
 It was while Crewe was thus engaged that his quick ears detected~a slight crunch of footsteps on the ground outside, as through somebody was approaching the house. The room he was searching looked out on pasture lands, but he was aware that there was a gravel path on the other side, running from the outbuildings at the side to the rear of the house. He crossed over to the corresponding room on that side of the house and looked out of the open window but could see no one
 He ran quietly downstairs and intos the kitchen. His idea was to watch the in truder by looking through one of the kitchen. windows, without revealing his own presence, but he found to his annoyance that the little diamond-shaped kitchen win dow which looked out on the back was so placed as to command view of only a small portion of the bricked yard at the back of the house.
 He waited for moment in. the hope that the visitor would enter the house through the unlocked kitchen door, but as he heard no further sound he decided to go in search of the person whose footsteps ne had heard. He opened the door and looked over the empty yard Suddenly woman's figure appeared in the doorway of the barn on the left. Immediately she saw Crewe she retreated into the shed in the hope that she had not been seen. In order to undeceive her on this point, Crewe walked down the yard to the barn, but before he reached it she came out to meet him. She was young and pretty and well dressed.

You arc MT Crewe," she said with com rosure.
 And you are Miss Maynard. We have not met before, but I have heard great deal about you"
 She read suspicion in his use of the con- ventional phrase and she decided to meet it.
 T came out to look at the old place at the scene of this dreadful tragedy-be- fore finally deciding what I ought to do"
 He realized that having said so much she had more to say, and he gave her no as- sistance.
 Perhaps Mir. Marsland has not told you, Mr. Crewe. that I was with him in the house when he discovered the oody.''
 He has not replied Crewe.
 That makes it all the more difficult for me- do not mind telling you, for you are his friend, and you are such clever man that feel I will be right in taking your advice.'' Crewe's mental reservation to be slow in offering her advice was an indication that his suspicious Of her were not allayed.
 T also sought shelter here from the storm on that fateful night" she continued. But because I was afraid of the gossip of Ash lingshea I asked Mir. Marsland if he would mind keeping my name out of it. And he

 "A grave error on both sides" said Crewe.
 ing he gave her.
 That is the conclusion have come to: that is why I think I ougn; to go to the police and tell them that I was aere They may be able to make something out of my story-they may be able to see more in it than l can. My simple statement of facts might fit Tn with some other information in their possession of which I know noth- ing, and in that way might lead to the ,:e- lection of the man who killed Frank Lums- den. But how can I go to them and tell them I was here after I begged Mr. Mars land to say nothing about me? He would never forgive me for placing him in suca an embarrassing position. It would not be right"
 And it is not right to keep from the police any information to which they are entitled"
 "That is my difficulty" she said, with a smile of gratitude to him for stating il 50 clearly.
 q have no hesitation in advising you to tell the police the whole truth" said Crewe.
 And Mr. Marsand?"
 "He must extrcate himself from the po- stion in which his promise to you has placed him. He knows that the prom. ise should never have been mace, and doubt less in the end he will be glad to have been released from it."

which suggested possibilities of clue. It was a small room, which had evidently been used by a former occupant as an office, for it contained an oak case holding account books, some files of yellowing bills hanging from nails on the wall,, and an old-fashioned writing bureau. It was this last article that attracted Crewe's attention. It was un- locked, and he examined closely the papers it contained. But they threw no light on the mystery of Cliff Farm, being for the most part business letters, receipted bills and household accounts.
 There was a bundle of faded letters iii one of the pigeonholes tied with black rib; bon, which had been written to Mrs. James Lumsden from somebody who signed hlm- self. "Yours to command. Godfrey La Touche." These letters were 40 years old, and had been sent during period of three years from "Her Majesty's sloop Hyacinth' at different foreign ports. They were stiff and formal, though withal courteous in tone, and various passages in them sug- gested that the writer had been an officer in the royal na&V and relative of Mrs. Lumsden. They ceased with letter writ ten to "James Lumsden, Esq.," expressing the writer's "deep regret and sincere sor- row. on learning of his "dear niece's sad and premature end"
 There was another room opposite this office which had doubtless heen intended for breakfast room, but was now stored with odds and ends; superfluous articles of furniture, some trunks, pile of bound volumes of the Illustrated London News, and few boxes full of misce Ilaneous rub

there in the winter evenings. The latter hypothesis seemed most probable to Crewe !; only a very untidy member of the other sex would have left alarming needle sticking in the sitting room wall.
 Crewe then examined the room behind the front room in which Marsland and Miss Maynard had sat before discovering the murdered man. It was the front room of an English farmhouse of bygone age, kept for show and state occasions, but not for use, crowded with big horsehair chairs and a horsehair sofa. There were two tables--a large round one with mahogany top and smaller one used as stand for the lamp Marsland had lt-a glass case of stuffed birds; an old clock in black case on the mantlepiece, which had been stopped so long that its works were festooned with spiders webs; few dingy oil paintings on the walls, alternately representing scenes from the Scriptures and the English chase, and motheaten carpet on the floor. There was also small glass bookcase in corner containing some bound volumes of the Leisure Hour of the sixties, Peter Parley's Annual, JOhnson's Dictionary, an ancient Every Day Book, and an old family Bible with brass clasps.
 It was in the room next to the sitting room that Crewe found the first article

 less.
 Crewe commenced to examine each room and it's contents with the object of trying to discover something which would assist him in his investigation of the Cliff Farm murder. He worked carefully and infinitely, but with the swiftness and method of a practiced observer.
 The front room that he first entered de- tained him only few minutes. Originally designed for the sitting room, it had been dsmantled and contained very little furni- ture, and had evidently not been used for a considerable time. A slight Assure in the outside wall explained the reason; the fis- sure had made the room uninhabitable by admitting wind and weather, causing damp to appear on the walls, and loosening the wallpaper till it hung in festoons.
 Crewe next examined the opposite front room, in which Sergeant Westaway con- ducted his preliminary inquiries into the murder. This room was simply furnished with furniture of an antique pattern. Ap- parently it had been used at a more or less recent date as the sitting room, for few old books and a couple of modern cheaply bound novels were lying about; needle with . piece of darning cotton which was stuck in the wall suggested woman's oc- cupation, or perhaps the murdered man or h3 grandson had done bachelor alarming
