Making Timber Heavy

TIE lighter the stand of timber, the heavier
the timber is.
This sounds like paradox but it isn't. Ex-
haustive investigation conducted by the Forest
Service indicates clearly that the wider the
spacing of trees in a forest or wood-lot, the
heavier the timber-that is, the specific gravity
Of the wood-becomes. Incidentally, and this
Is matter Of Importance, the wider spacing
accelerates the speed Of growth of the trees
Tests have indicated that ash and hickory.
along with other hardwoods. can be brought to
maturity for numbering purposes in SO to 90
years by proper spacing of the trees, while the
coniferous trees, like the Southern pines, may
be used in as few as 20 years.

THAT was Q clue It caused me to hazard
q fantastic guess-and I'm not sure yet I'm
right. Yes, am. Here comes one OF my Boy
Scouts on the run"
A bright-eyed boy came painting up.
well, Freddy?" said Matthew Kelton.
Got it, SIR" said the scout.
"Take us there" directed Matthew Kelton,
and he and the bewildered lawyer followed the
scout into the woods.
FIFTY yards in the scout stopped and
pointed The eyes of the two men saw,
hanging from the lower branches of pine
tree, the body of q giant horned owl, feet
tall, with talons the size Of q mans hand The
owl had been killed by some small nocturnal
climbing animal. The bird had been unable
to defend itself, because a piece of Irvine, tied
about one of its legs, had become entangled
in the branches.
"Climb up and carefully release the OWL"
said Matthew Kelton. The scout Skinned up
the tree, and presently the bird fell at the feet
of the men. piece Of Irvine about feet
long was attached to the foot of the dead owl.
and at the other end of it was a small pistol.
Its like Oakley's," cried Evan Turner.
Exactly. It's Skomak, a 'murderess," said
Matthew Kelton. And, look, Evan. The
cartridge has been fired. The bullet you have
seen. It was the one Cope fired into his own
heart"
Matthew Kelton held out the tiny weapon.
&c.," he said lit has hair trigger. Goes
OF at touch. Cope, who was very tall and
had unusually long arms, as you may have no.
ticed held it at arms length from his chest,
and touched the trigger. The little pistol fell
from his lifeless hand, and naturally the owl
few away, as Cope knew 1t would, with the
pistol dangling from its foot"
Turner whistled.
Cope" continued Matthew Kelton, figured
that the owl would head for the woods. There
the pistol would be knocked OF against a tree
and be lost forever, or the owl would get en-
tangled IN branch, and starve to death, or be
killed. and in time the string would rot, and
the pistol would drop down. Small chance Of
its ever being found in woods so little FREE
quented."
But how could Cope keep the owl quiet while
he was shooting the pistol?"
TT must have been tame OWL" said Mat
thew Kelton. Cope probably caught 1t and
raised it for this very purpose. A methodicaA
man. Cope. The owl was accustomed to hina.
He kept 1t pactfied last night by feeding it bits
Of meat. No doubt, he tied it to bush when
he went in to interview Oakley"
Matthew Kelton sighed.
Poor Cope!" he said. Like the foolish
wasp. he died for hate. Here, take the owl and
the pistol and go to the house and tell Oakley
and the police the story. I'm going home to
work on a new puzzle!"

end of lane. Not near any other human
habitation.
Hardly cheerful place." said Kelton.
what do you expect to ind here, Matthew"
questioned Evan Turner.
The house was deserted The front door was
locked, but the lock soon succumbed to Matthew
Kelton's skeleton key, and the two men entered.
The house was simply furnished, and Cope
had been a fairly neat housekeeper.
Lets see what he read" said Kelton, ganc-
ing about the living room. He shook his head
as he looked at the small bookcase. Lewis
Cope's library consisted of an old set of. the
works of Poe, and a fairly new encyclopedia Of
ornithology in four volumes.
Queer combination" said Matthew Kelton.
Significant, too. It's a bad sign, Evan, when
o man lives all alone and hasn't large library"
He stopped in the kitchen long enough to
rummage about in an odds-and-ends drawer.
He bounced on something there, took 1t out,
put it In his pocket The mystified Turner saw
that it was nothing more exciting than a small
ball OF Irvine.
Lewis Cope had devoted some of his solitude
to saving wood. It was arranged in neat piles
in the shed.
Nothing here" said Turner.
"No?"
"I don't see thing but some wood an ak,
q saw, chopping block, few rakes and hoes,
and an old parrot cage"
Matthew Kelton, humming to himself, was
what do you make of it?" he asked the
lawyer.
81 deduce," said Turner, with mock serious
ness, that at one time Cope, in common with
many other people who live alone, kept q pet
parrot I further deduce that at some time
the bird died escaped, he put the cage
out here"
Anything else?"
'I am unable, with the data at hand, to
determine the age. sex or name of the parrot"
said Turner,
Look at the condition Of the cage" said
Matthew Kelton. Look at those small red
stains Go on, deduce some more"
Evan Turner surveyed the cage more closely.
I'D say that polly met a violent death, and
within the past two days Possibly she said
something Cope didn't like, and he wrung her
neck"
All Matthew Kelton said was 1.-THE face Of
a man. even in death, tells you things about
him. Now, didn't think Cope looked like
a man given to uncontrolled outbursts of emo
ton. He seemed to me to be of the type that
has strong, hot passions, but a cold brain that
guides them. Come we must be going"
Where now?"

OF mine," said Matthew Kelton, "at the main
gate to Oakey's estate"
AS the car drew near the house of Guy

sprang to attention as Matthew Kelton stopped
his car.

about him. Turner saw him talking 10
them, gesturing, and saw them listening with
respectful attention. Then the scouts trotted
away into the woods that bordered the Oakley
estate. Matthew KeIton and the lawyer made
their way to the spot beside the main drive,
where Cope's body had been found.

something that must have fallen from Cope's
pocket. Here it is"
He handed small object to Matthew Kelton.
It was a black pearl stud, set in platinum.
Quickly Kelton bent over and stared at the
body
Its not Copes," he announced. His studs
are plain gold. and they are all in place. He
wheeled round to Guy Oakley, and thrust the
black pearl stud under his eyes.

100000 P AID
FOR STREETS
IN LURAY

LURAY, Va, Jan. 29.-Luray
is planning to spend 100000
within a short time in street and
bridge construction, enlargement
of it's water system and Install
ing a modern sewerage system.
w. v. Ford, the towns attorney,
has outlined the following pro-
gram of municipal improvement:
Water system and fire protec-
ton, $50 900; street construction,
S26, 900; erection Of a bridge over
the Hawksbill creek, $26, 900; sew
erage system, $4,000. The Vir-
ginia Highway Commission will
furnish $4,000 toward the street
building campaign. Streets of
Luray are now under control of
the State.
The improvements will be made
by additional levies Of property
within the corporate limits Of
Luray. The taxable value of
properties amount to about $727,-
684 90, divided between real estate,
tangible personal property and
property of public service cor
porations.
An increased levy Of Is cents
on the assessed valuation of town
property would raise the money
required for the contemplated
improvement and provide a sink.
ing fund. 0The program also con-
templates widening of the prin-
cipal streets of the town and the
building Of a 100000 gallon
reservoir to be added to the
towns present 100000 gallon
reservoir. The wafer from the
two reservoirs will be transferred
to a 100000 gallon equalizing
tank on the highest point near
Luray. From this tank a l0-inch
iron main will run to the towns
present water main. The plan
of improvement also contemplates
enlarging the towns present cor
porate limits.
