| at the end Of it old Brexford notified
! Winton that he would go up to Lon
don on Monday and cut him out of
his will, and Winton left the house.
HRREXFORD told Sir Henry Mar
quis what he had told the grand
jury. He was sitting alone in his
drawing room reading, when a shot
fired from the darkness outside
crashedd through the window; it hap
pened just as Brexford leaned for
ward to get cigarette from a box
on the table. That accident of chance
saved Brexford's life. for the bullet
passed by his shoulder instead Of cut
ting its way through his chest An
instinct of safety caused the man to
fall forward onto the floor and lie
| there as though he were dead. That
saved his life again. for the man out
side came up ito the window and
looked in, and Brexford out of the tail
| of his eye saw that it was young
Winton. Winton thought, he had
killed Brexford and got out Of the
| country"
$50 that was it.'' said. THAT was
the reason Winton was willing to
come out. Marquis brought him the
| assurance that his shot had missed"
IT'S of no use to guess. Sir James.
The first thing Sir Henry Marquis
said to Brexford, after he had look ed
| over the drawing room, was:
Are you sure the shot was not
fired from the other side Of the draw
ing room?"
This was impossible, and Brexford
pointed out at once that it was i'm
possible. True, the easement window
directly opposite on that side was
open, for it was through this open
window that the bullet directed at
Brexford passed out of the drawing
room; but the country on that side
fell away from the house sharply in
a deep hollow; there was no tree or
elevation; one to have fired such a
shot from this side of the house
| through the drawing room at Brex-
fosd in his chair would have re-
quired an elevation Of at least fifty
feet, and, as I have said, there wasn't
even a tree on that side.
But Sir Henry Marquis refused to
be convinced.
"'The shot he said. came from
this side
"Brexford lost his temper.
That's impossible! he cried.
Wasn't I sitting here; didn't I hear
the bullet pass me; didn't I see the
glass break?'
| 'Sir Henry only repeated what he'd
said.

Pig AriStOcracy.

IONE may amplify the observation
of the humorist that pigs is
pigs by adding that there are pigs
and pigs; pigs plebeian and pigs pa
trician; common, unskilled pigs of
anywhere. whose life is of the sty
and whose early fate is pork. and
particular pigs of high degree and
I distinguished professional ability that
live, labor and are cherished in the
green, clean fields and woodlands of
southern France. This kind of pig.
the aristocrat of the race, is known
as la TRUE.
La truie is the most aristocratic
pig in the, world, but also the most
unhappy, the most dissatisfied, the
most deceived. She is truff1e hunt
cure whose scent, e4quisitely fine
through long inheritance, is most
carefully guarded from deterioration;
indeed, she is bred and looked after
with as much care as a thorough
bred racer.
There is as much difference be-
tween this pig and the ordinary pig
as there is between d motor car and
a steam roller. Sometimes as much
as $500 is paid for truff1e pig. From
youth upward she is. fed on the dain-
tiest morsels; she eats nothing that
might injure her fine taste: and
thence springs the tragedy of her
life. When she has grown up a little
the end of slack rope on her first
who leads her knows no more where
the truffles are actually hidden in the
earth than a half-blind owl; but la
TRUE can scent one, even though il
be nearly two feet underground.
Down goes her head, with its pecu-
1iarly long, fine snout, and she roots
at the brown earth with all the en-
ergy she has Perhaps a foot down,
perhaps two, she finds the truffie she
has smelled. Forth shoots her snout,
her mouth is just opening to receive
back with a sudden painful jerk and
a sharp pointed stick prods her away
from the delicious morsel.
The most famous truff1e district in
the world is around Perigueux. AS
much as a thousand pounds of these
uninviting looking but delicious sub
terranean mushrooms have been col
lected in one day upon one of the
large estates there. They are usually
about the size of an egg or a potato
and almost black. Peasant women
trained to the business carefully scrub
them with hot water and brushes:
others even more carefully peel them,

know you're liar!'
Then he went at him, and before
he got through old Brexford admit
ted that he fired the shot through the
window himself from the drawing
room; and Marquis made him put up
the money to find young Winton and
bring him back to England. That's
what took Sir Henry Marquis on that
journey into Central Africa-justice
to young Winton, not justice to the
peace. and dignity Of the county of
Hampshire. Young Winton hadn't
been near old Brexford that night; he
had gone to Christ Church. deter
mined to settle matters with this
American girl. He was mad about
her; she must take him, or he would
get as far out of the world as he
could. He missed her by an acci-
dent. She had gone out to tea some
where in Hants; the motor had broken
down and she could not get back, and
being Sunday she could not telegraph.
Winton took it for intention, because
she had given him her word that she
would be there, and he went on into

of it,
Barclay had gone over to the win

Marquis know that it was fired from

That was simple" he answered
When bullet passes through pane
of glass it always breaks off a little
