SHOVELS GALORE
BEING MADE
AT NEW PLANT
Of the Mount Pleasant Tool
Company Here.
BIG SHIPMENT ABOUT READY
TO BE MADE TO BUENOS AYRES,
SOUTH AMERICA.
Tills Order. Which Is Only One of Many
Others Booked, Calls for 1.200 Doz-ens,
and the Management Is Making
Preparation to Put the Works on
Double Turn. A Local Industry That
Knows Nothing About Dull Trade.
In these piping times of quietness in
trade it’s a pleasure to find an industry
that has more than it can do, and all the
more pleasing when this happy state of
affairs is found to exist right at home.
The big plant of the Mount Pleasant
Tool Company, near the Standard plant
of the H. C. Frick Coke Company, en-joys
this distinction.
This factory, which makes a specialty
of shovels, from the big western grain
and potato scoops to the long-handled
blade for the use of bakers in handling
their bread in the oven, sent out its first
samples to the Wholesalers and jobbers
less than five months ago and today it
has so many orders booked that the
management is preparing to put the
works on double turn. Orders have
been received not only from many
points in this country but from Ger
many where one firm has contracted for
1,2('0 dozens to be shipped to Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic, South
America.
The plant is a model one, being equip-ped
throughout with the latest tnachin-ero,
operated by electricity. All the
furnaces are heated by natural gas. The
steel, cut in widths to suit the different
sizes manufactured, comes in carload
lots and, figuratively speaking, walks
from the furnaces through the big ma
chines that cut, trim, bend or weld,
shape and polish the shovel until it is
all ready to receive its handle.
The wooden handles are all bought,
being received straight and then soaked
and moulded to fit the shovel straps.
This work is all done by machinery as
is also the pressing of the straps about
the handle. Wheels made of cloth with
emery glued on the surface and belts
covered in a like manner with emery
and ground flint do the final polishing
before the steel part is dipped in a bar-rel
of varnish to keep it bright before
the finished shovel goes to the ware-rooms
to be packed for shipment.
It is, indeed, a busy place from the
office, where the chief clerk, Charles F.
Rumbangh, presides, out and through
the factory, every department of which
comes under Foreman Greenwood’s
sharp eyes many times each day.

MURDER AT IRWIN-James
Risbin Shot and Killed by One-
Legged Thomas Stack.
James Risbin, a well known citizen of
North Huntingdon township, near Ir-win,
was shot and killed by Thomas i
Stack early Sunday morning. Risbin,
John Tray, Mantin Thornton and several
others were drinking at a shanty on the j
outskirts of Irwin when Stack came j
along. A dispute arose, it is said, as to
the distribution of a quart of whiskey.
Without warning, Stack is said to
have pulled a revolver and fired at Ris-bin.
The bullet entered the man’s breast
at the right of the heart and he lived
only a few minutes. Stack, who has bnt
one leg, and walks with a crutch, left
the crowd immediately after the shoot-ing,
and disappeared, yelling back to his
companions that they need not look for
him, for he intended to hunt a quiet
place and there kill himself. He went
to Coal Hollow, in the direction of
Paiutertown. The alleged murderer
was captured the next evening at the
Coal Hollow home of his father and is
now in jail at Greenshnrg. The prison-er’s
father claims the $100 reward.
The Case was Settled.
Edward Strawder, colored, formerly
of this place, was arrested at New Cas-tle
and brought back here Thursday
evening by Constable Porter, of Mount
Pleasant township, charged before Jus-tice
Elliott with having broken a buggy
belonging to John Hanse, a local livery-man.
The case was settled by the de-fendant
paving all costs.
Many Dunbar Robberies.
Dunbar has been the scene of a num-ber
of daring robberies during the past
few weeks. More than 24 business
houses and private residences have been
entered in less than one month, and no
action has yet been taken by Council to
furnish the town with protection.

AB. COOPER’S THRILLING
TIGHT ROPE PERFORMANCE .
IN BULESKIN TOWNSHIP.
He Was at One End of the Rope Across the Barn
When a Playful Colt Got Tangled in
the Other End.
ALBERT WENT UP TAST AND THEN DOWN HARD.
Ab. Cooper, the well- known Bullskin township farmer, had a thrilling;
tight rope experience the other day and as a result still limps from a mighty
sore heel. He had his son, Myrl, patching his barn roof, allowing him to
hold on to a rope, one end of which was tied about a log in the barnhard,
while the father held the other at the upper side of the ham, the rope thus
stretched across the roof being moved about*to suit the patcher.
Everything was moving along nicely until a playful colt got tangled up
in the barnyard end of the rope and broke for a neighboring pasture field, the
rope following so fast that the shingles smoked. Myrl loosened his grip,
grabbed the comb of the roof and yelled to his busy parent to let go. But
Ab., believing his son was sliding down the steep lower side to almost certain
death, gripped the rope all the tighter and was shot up until his head struck
the eve. Then the rope broke, or rather pulled apart where it was tied, and he
dropped back to the ground, striking one heel on a piece of timber. Although
too badly hurt to walk, he crept around the barn, expecting to find his son’s
broken body lying there. The reader is left to imagine just what Albert said
when he discovered the true state of affairs.
ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT
Given Visiting Red Men by the Local
Tribe.
About 150 Red Men from Connellsville

Following this demonstration the vis-itors
and their local brothers repaired to
the orchard on the old James Nell farm
where Joseph Snyder and his genial
wife and family now reside and to whom
the entertainers desire to thus express
their deep sense of gratitude for the
many kindnesses shown. The capture
of John Smith and how he was sayed
from death by that pretty Indian maid,
Pocohontas, were given in a manner
historically correct. Then there were
speeches bv Past Sachem Sechrist, of
Connellsville, and Prophet Walker who
presented Edwin Cope, Sr., of this place,
the oldest member of the order in the
state, with a handsome Bible. Dancing

the Slavish Roman Catholic Church at
Connellsville.
After the ceremony the two went to

PLEASANT VISIT
PAID THE HOME
OE HIS YOUTH
By D. S. Metzgar, of Port Byron,
Illinois.
MOVED FROM MOUNT PLEASANT
TO THAT PLACE OVER HALF A CEN-TURY
AGO.
He and His Wife Just Returned Home
From an Eastern Trip, Probably the
Last the Former will Take, and While
Sickness Followed it, He Has Recov-ered
and Tells of the Pleasure he had/
in Once More Meeting Old Friends.
POET BYRON, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 1,
1904. My wife and I have just returned
home from onr eastern trip and, to begin
at the end, I had to take my bed from a
severe attack of dysentery with other
complications, the first experience of th»T
kind for me in over a score of years. 1
am, however, about well again. I had
intended seeing the St. Lonis fair, but I
find home is the best place for me. Onr
visit was rather a hnrried one.
We started on Jnne 4th and spent
Sunday in Chicago with my son, George,
leaving there the following Monday
evening over the B. & O. road for Pitts-burg
where we remained with my old
and esteemed friend, B. W. Stouffer,
until Wednesday. The next day we
visited my neice, Mrs. C. K. Harvey,
and her happy family at McKeesport
going on the next day to Scottdale, now
a thriving little eitvvof some 4,000 in-habitants.
while there was only a mill
there when I left that section in 1853.
Wespent thenight withRev. A. Loneks,
a cousin by marriage, landing in Mount
Pleasant Friday.
A9 my wife went on the next day to
Philadelphia to visit her brother and
other relatives, I was left alone at the
National Hotel, where Robert Hitchman
kepf a tavern when I first visited the
town in 1832. I met a dozen or more
old friends and went back Monday to
Scottdale to be the handsomely enter-tained
gnest of Harry Hubbs, Esq , and
his kind family. There I met other old
friends and many new ones, among
whom were the sturdy sons of my boy-hood
friend, Solomon Keister.
On returning to yonr town I accepted
of Robert Goodman's most kind invita-tion
to take a buggy drive to Pleasant
Unity. It was a most edjoyahle ride
over the old road and I found Jordan's
Hotel a model house. I was sorry to see
the genial proprietor afflicted with rheu-matism,
bnt bis heart is just as big as
ever. It did my heart good to be told,
when I asked for my bill, that it was
paid and that a week's stay at the same
price was what “Johns" would like to
have. I found the old town much im-proved
since 1827. I spent a pleasant
night with my good friend, J. J. Harm
that genins of the bellows, anvil and
hammer. I then hired a rig to take me
to Latrobe where I visited my nephew,
D. A. Hnffman. I was told there that
when Latrobe people wanted a good
meal they always drove out to Jordan’s
Hotel at Pleasant Ugity.
William Fetter, another old Scottdale
friend, who was away from home when
I was there, came np to Latrobe to sea
me and we had a good long talk of long
goneby years. We spent the following
Sunday in East Liberty, leaving the
next evening for home where I found
that I needed the services of onr good
doctor.
T feel most grateful for the many
kindnesses shown me by my eastern
friends during my visit which may be
my last as I am going down the hill to-wards
life’s setting sun.

A Farmer Badly Hurt.
A. R Loneks, a well known farmer
living north of Scottdale, while working
about his barn Monday afternoon, at-tempted
to move a ladder and in doing
so knocked a hatchet from the wall at
its top. The hatchet fell, the blade
striking Mr. Loucks on the head and
sinking into his skull. Bnt little hope
is entertained for his recovery.
Street Gar Collision.
The street car, in which some sixty
specially invited Connellsville people
were tonring the system south of that
place, collided with the relief car near
Morrell Friday morning. Mrs. J. C.
McClenathan and Mrs. Rockwell Mari-etta
were painfully hurt, while the oth
ers were all severely shake*! np. The
accident was caused by Motomian
Hney’s car getting beyond control.
SEILL SOME MYSTERY
Surrounding the Death of a Well Known
Loyalhanna Man.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
death of John Lowery, of Loyalhanna,
and although an investigation was made
by the coroner and several physicians
Sunday night, his friends are not satis-fied.
Lowery had left home on last Tues—
day and was visiting friends near Per— •
ryopolis. Together with some compan-ions
he went swimming in the Yongh-iogheny
river on Friday evening and is
alleged to have been attacked by cramps,
causing him to drown. His body was.
not recovered for some time. Some
marks about the head aroused suspicion
of foul play. One hundred dollars he
had with him is missing.
Alleged Elopement.
It is said that Samuel Morrison, of
Greenshnrg, and Mrs. Roseby Hann,
both late residents of this place, have
eloped.

PRACTICAL
HELLO MAN
What a Youngstown, Ohio, Paper Has to
Say of George G. King, an old
Mount Pleasant Boy.
HE IS HOW II TELEPHONE MANAGER THEBE,
George G. King, the new manager of the Youngstown Telephone Com-pany,
says the “Telegram,” of that place, is a thorough telephone man. He
knows the business in every department and can do anything from stringing
a line to managing the business of the exchange.
In the 11 years in which he has been in the business, he has worked in
all departments. He came here in 1896, when the plant of the Youngstown
Telephone Company was being built and superintended the construction of a
large part of it. When the system was rebuilt, later, and considerable under-ground
construction put in, he had charge of that.
For a number of years he has been general superintendent of the com-pany
and has worked incessantly for it. Before he came here he was em-ployed
on the South West Coal and Coke Company’s telephone system at
Mount Pleasant, Pa., and a short time at Uniontown, Pa. Previous to that
ntfime he had been in the employ of a railroad company. He was born at
Mount Pleasant, Pa., in December, 1868.

NEED II TO HELP DHGANIZE COKE HEM,
The hope of the United Mine Workers of America to organize the coke
workers of this region has, it is said, not been abandoned. On the contrary,
there has been more activity on their part recently than there has been since
the movement was commenced last September. 1 he work of the organiza-tion,
however, is being done quietly and but little information is allowed to
escape.
Officials of the union have been exceptionally active and have struck up-on
a new scheme to further their cause among the coke workers. Their plan
is the establishment of a newspaper in either Westmoreland or Fayette county.
It has been stated that negotiations have been made for the purchase of a
newspaper plant in Scottdale.

A Continual Strain.
Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
“a continual strain” because of some
financial or family trouble. It wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically, affecting their nerves badly
and bringing on liver and kidney ail-ments,
with the ; attendant evils of
constipation, loss of appetite, sleepless
ness, low vitality and despondency.
They cannot, as a rule, get rid of this
“continual strain,” but they can remedy
its health-destroying effects by taking
frequent doses of Green's August
Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates
the kidneys,■''Tnsnres healthy bodily
functions, gives vim and spirit to one's
whole being, and eventually dispels the
physical or mental distress caused by
that “continual strain. ” Trial bottle of

A BAD EXAMPLE.
Bishop Potter, the eminent New York
Episcopal divine, attended the opening
of the “Subway Tavern, an underground
saloon, in that city the other day, join-ing
in the Doxology which followed at
the close of the speech-making, and the
anti-saloon people of the country are up
in arms, claiming he has done the cause
of temperance a great injury. In an
authorized statement the Bishop says;
“I have publicly stated that I never
dreamed of regarding the present saloon
as either a blessing or a necessity, and
no word of mine, whether uttered re-cently
or at any other time, warrants
any such inference. I have simply re
garded it as an inevitable and necessary
evil until it is displaced by something
better.
“To close it, whether on Sundays or
on any other particular day, is not to
displace it by something worthy of pub
lie respect and legal protection; and my
controversy is simply with those who
have no other aim in dealing with a
mischevious institution than to suppress
it, whereaathe only hope of reform here
is in displacement by substitution.”
Without questioning the honesty of
the Bishop’s motive, however, the fact
remains that his action will be so con-
Btrned as to make him an advocate of
the saloon. At all events, it was a bad
example for a high churchman to set.
the General Assembly of the Presbyte-rian
Church held at Buffalo last May.
The Turkish rnler promised American
Minister Leishman that a reply favora-ble
to the American demand for the
same favored treatment in the matter of
schools, hospitalsand charitable institu
tions as is accorded to other powers
would be given over a week ago. The
giving of the answer was then postponed
until last Thursday, but up to the pres
ent time no answer has been received.
Tiring of broken promises made to its
representative at Constantinople only to
be broken, this country ordered its Eu-ropean
naval squadron to proceed to
Smyrna to make a demonstration. This
move has, it is said, greatly exercised
the Sublime Porte who is expected to
have a good fit and speedily adjust mat-ters
to our entire satisfaction. Abdnl
has a weak heart.
EVEN with the brush cut away, the
the old Church street graveyard pre-sents
a mighty unsightly appearance.
THE Japs haven’t taken Port Arthur
as yet, but that does not say that they
will fail when they are ready to make a
general assault.
THE PORTAGE TRAGEDY.
The hunt for the three bandits who
killed Driver Charles Hays, severely
wounded Paymaster Patrick Campbell
and robbed the Puritan Coal Company
of almost #3,000 pay money near Portage
last Saturday week has passed the whoop
and hurrah stage with the bloodhound
trimmings that led to the arrest of
nearly every strange Italian not only
in Cambria county but in bordering
towns.
The wounded paymaster, however, is
doing nicely at the Altoona hospital and
is growing stronger daily. He talks but
little of the affair that almost cost him
his fife and says that he would be una-ble
to identify any of the men who
figured in the dastardly deed.
The rewards offered for the arrest of
the desperadoes by the county and the
coal people, some $2,000, have led pri-vate
detective agencies to take up the
hunt and it is to be hoped that the ban-dits
wifi yet be brought to justice; for,
to permit them to escape would be a
state, if not, indeed, a national calamity.
CONTROLLER BROWN has neither
come out as an independent nor said he
would accept the nomination if offered

aware of the Republican rod in pickle

SIX YEAR PRESIDENTIAL TERn.
Hon. Joseph C. Sibley, the well known
oil region representative in Congress,
intends to introduce a bill which relates
to the Presidential term of office. Mr.
Sibley declared himself absolutely op-posed
to the plan of allowing any man
to hold the office of President twice. He
said that at the next session he would
introduce a bill to lengthen the Presi
dent's term of office to six years and
make it impossible for one man to re
ceive more than one term.
That would, as he says, prevent the
national business excitement which
plays such havoc with our trade every
four years. And the knowledge that
he could be President but once would
deter the incumbent from doing the
many things . which Presidents do to-ward
the end of their first terms in the
hope of being elected again. It would
make honesty and a clean administra-tion
the thing sought after—not another
nomination. And it would, as Mr. Sib
ley also claims, remove the principal
cause of trade convulsions.
THE Presidential campaign can now
be said to be wide open, Judge Parker
having been officially notified yesterday
that he was the Democratic nominee.

Murder will out. The slayer of poor

him for two years and only yielded it
up when about to mount the scaffold to

Monessen News.
Last week County Commissioner
Hugh Price, of North Belleveruon,
rushed into print with a statement that
the county was out of debt, having paid
all claims against it. The Greensburg
“Democrat” says that “Me-too” Price’s
statement is misleading and was only
printed for a purpose. At any rate it
won’t make John Brown many Repub-lican
votes on a fusion ticket. The next
John to fill the', office of controller of
Westmoreland county will be John D.
Hitchman, of Mount Pleasant.

THE SULTAN nUST BE GOOD.
Considerable interest attaches to the
threatened trouble between this country
and Turkey. The main reason why
Uncle Sam is preparing to adopt rigor-ous
measures to bring the Sultan to time
is the fact that Abdul Hamil has dis-criminated
against the American schools
, in the Turkish empire.
This matter was brought to the atten-tion
of the President of the United
States by committees representing
church bodies who have missionaries
and schools in Turkey and these com-mittees
were the outgrowth ot a report
of the Board of Foreign Missions for
Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church,
whose headquarters are in Pittsburg, to

PROVED
AN ALIBI.
Gundo Menzi, the Pittsburg Italian Arrested
for the Portage Tragedy, was
Innocent.
PAYMASTER CAMPBELL MADE # MISTAKE,
The identification of Gundo Menzi, the name under which Gaetano
Giampoli, the Pittsburg Italian, was arrested at Blairsville, as one of the three
bandits who murdered Driver Hays, wounded Paymaster Campbell, of the
Puritan Coal Company, and stole $2,965 at Portage last Saturday week, was
a mistake that, as noted in these columns last week, was made by Mr. Camp-bell
himself, before whom the prisoner was taken in the Altoona hospital.
Menzi and the three other men arrested at the same time were released Friday
and the police authorities of Cambria county have settled down to a realiza-tion
that their chances of capturing the Portage murder trio are now small.
Mine officials at Portage are open in bitter criticism of the police and, as
they say, tired of the melodramatic way in which the case has been conduct-ed,
have organized a posse of their own and guaranteed money to pay for a
systematic search. The coal men, headed by J. J. McDonnell, H. M. Tomp-kins
and Theodore Adams, say the murder was done by an organized band of
robbers, which has operated in all the mountain towns and profited between
robberies by the sale of moonshine whiskey.

“Cobbler, do you mean it?” she asks.

“How silly you talk!” she says, mit
a blush.
“Rut she don’t get your feller. Some-tings

It was an unwelcome thought, but
the woman could no longer doubt that
her child was dull in school.
“Whyf here she’s thirteen years old,”
exclulmed the woman, with something
like a sob, “and she has never yet ridi-culed

It was possible that the girl was too

L CHAPTER VIII. ET me repeat. The person who
had left the marks of his pres-t
once in the upper chamber of
' the Moore house was not the
man popularly known as Uncle David.
Who, then, had it been? Itut one name
suggested itself to me—Mr. Jeffrey.
It was not so easy for me to reach
this man as it had been for me to
reach Ills singular and unimaginative
uncle. In the first place, his door had
been closed to every one since his
wife’s death. Neither friends nor
strangers could gain admittance there
unless they came vested with authori-ty
from the coroner. And this, even if
I could manage to obtain it, would not
answer in my case. What I had to say
and do would better follow a chance
encounter. But no chance encounter
with this gentleman seemed likely to
fall to my lot, and finally I swallowed
my pride and asked another favor of
the lieutenant. Would he see that I
was given an opportunity f°r carrying
some message or of doing some errand
which would lend to my having an in-terview
with Mr. Jeffrey? If he would
I stood ready to promise that my curi-osity
should stop at this point and that.
I would cease to make a nuisance of
myself.
I think he suspected me by this time,
but he made no remark, and in a day
or so I was summoned to carry a note
to the house in K street.
Mrs. Jeffrey’s funeral had taken
place the day before, and the house
looked deserted. But my summons
speedily brought to the door a neat
looking but very nervous maid, whose
eyes took on an unmistakable expres-sion
of resistance when I announced
my errand and asked to see Mr. Jef-frey.
The expression would not have
struck me as peculiar if she had raised
any objection to the Interview I had
solicited. But she did not. Her fear
and antipathy consefpiently sprang
from some other source than her in-
Loretta, the Jeffreyt’ maid
most likely to win me Ills confltlenet!.
entered straight upon my business in
these plain words:
"Pardon me, Mr. Jeffrey, I have
something to say which is not exactly
fitted for the ears of servants.” Then
as he pushed his chair suddenly back
I added reassuringly: "It is not a po-lice
matter, sir, but an entirely per-sonal
one. It may strike you ns im-portant,
and it may not. Mr. Jeffrey,
1 was the man who made the unhappy
discovery in the Moore mansion which
has plunged this house into mourning.”
This announcement startled him and
produced a visible change in his man-ner.
His eyes flew first to one door
nnd then to another, ns if it were he
who feared intrusion now.
“I beg your pardon for speaking on
so painful a topic,” I went on ns soon
as I saw he was ready to listen to me.
“My excuse is that I came upon a lit-tle
thing thnt same night which I have
When the leaders ot the Greensburg Christian Civic Union appeared be-fore
Justice of the Peace Baldridge there Friday evening to prosecute suits
against four of Greensburg’s druggists for alleged violation of Sunday closing
laws, they found they had been cleverly outwitted by the druggists, and were
compelled to pay the costs of the four cases, amounting to $30.
When the time for the hearings before Justice Baldridge arrived the jus-tice
and the members of the Civic Union were surprised to learn that the de-fendants,
S. P. Brown, John P. Stephenson, George Steele and D. Arter Miller,
had been fined $7 each for the same offense by Justice of the Peace Elcher
early Monday morning. A friend of the druggists, in accordance with an
arrangement with them, had made the information as soon as the justice’s
office was opened Monday morning, and the minimum fine was imposed.
The hearings were kept secret until Friday night, when the blue law ad-vocates
were put to complete route and retired in confusion after paying the
costs.

terest in the mnn most threatened by
my visit. Was it, could it be, on her
own account? Recalling what I had
heard whispered about the station con-cerning
a maid of the Jeffreys who al-ways
seemed on the point of saying
something which never really left her
lips, I stopped her as she was about to
slip upstairs and quietly asked:
“Are you Loretta?”
The way she turned, the way she
looked at me, as she gave me a short
affirmative and then quickly proceed-ed
on her wny, convinced me that my
colleagues were right as to her being a
woman who had some cause for dread-ing
police interference. I instantly
made up my mind that here was a
mine to be worked nnd that I knew
just the demure little soul best equip-ped
to act the part of miner.
In a moment she came back, and I
had a chance to note again her pretty
but expressionless features, among
which the restless eyes alone bespoke
character or decision.
“Mr. Jeffrey is in the back room
upstairs,” she announced. “He says
for you to come up.”
“Is it the room Mrs. Jeffrey used to
occupy?” I asked, with open curiosity,
as I passed her.
An involuntary shudder proved that
she was not without feeling. So did
the quick disclaimer:
“No, no! Those rooms are closed.
He occupies the one Miss Tuttle had
before she went away.”
“Oh, then, Miss Tuttle Is gone?”
Loretta disdained to answer. She
had already said enough to cause her
to bite her lip as she disappeared down
the basement stair. Decidedly the boys
were right. An uneasy feeling followed
any conversation with this girl. Yet,
while there was slyness in her man-ner,
there was a certain frank honesty
visible in it, too, which caused me to
think that if she could ever be .made to
speak her evidence could be relied on.
Mr. Jeffrey was sitting with his
back to the door when I entered, but
turned aB I spoke his name and held
out his hand for the note I carried. He
appeared to shrink from observation
and shifted uneasily as long us I stood
. in front of him, though he said nothing
and did not lift his eyes from the letter
he was perusing till he heard me step
buck to the door I had purposely left
open and softly closed it. Then he
glanced up with a keen if not an
alarmed look, which seemed an exag-gerated
one for the occasion—that is,
if he had no Becret to keep.
"Do you suffer so from drafts?” he
asked, rising in a way which in itself
was a dismissal.
I smiled an amused denial, then,
with tlje simple directness I thought

not thought of sufficient importance to
mention to any one else, but which it
may Interest you to hear about.”
Here I took from a book I held a
piece of blotting paper. It was white
on one side nnd blue on the other. The
white side I had thickly chalked,
though this was not apparent. Laying
down this piece of blotting paper,
chnlkod side up, on the end of a large
table near which we were standing, I
took out an envelope from my pocket
nnd, shaking it gently to and fro, re-marked:
“In an upper room of the Moore
house—you remember the southwest
chamber, sir?”
Ah, didn’t he! There was no mis-doubting
the quick emotion—the
shrinking nnd the alarm with which
he heard this room mentioned.
“It was in that room that I found
these.”
Tipping up the envelope, I scattered
over the face of the blotter a few of
the glistening particles I had collected
from the place mentioned.
He bent over them, astonished; then,
ns was natural, brushed them together
In a heap with the tips of his fingers
and leaned to look again Just as
breathed a heavy sigh which scattered
them fnr and wide.
Instinctively he withdrew his hand,
whereupon I embraced the opportunity
of turning the blotter over, uttering
meanwhile the most profuse apologies,
Then, as if anxious not to repeat my
misadventure, I let the blotter lie
where it was, and, pouring out the few
remaining particles into my palm, I
held them toward the light in such a
way that he was compelled to lean
across the table in order to see them.
Naturally, for I had planned the dis-tance
well, his finger tips, white with
the chalk he had unconsciously han-dled,
touched tiv* blue surface of the
blotter now lying uppermost and left
their marks there.
I could have shouted in my elation
at the success of this risky maneuver,
but managed to suppress my emotion
and to stand quite still while ho took
a good look at the filings. They seemed
to have great and unusual interest for
him, and it was with no ordinary emo-tion
that he finally asked:
“What do you make out of these, and
why do you bring them here?”
My answer was written under his
hand, but this it was far from my pol-icy
to impart. So, putting on my friend-liest
air, I returned, with suitable re-spect:
“I don’t know what to make of them.
They look like gold, but that is for you
to decide. Do you want them, sir?”
“No,” he replied, starting erect and
withdrawing liis hand from the blot-ter.
“It’s but a trifle—not worth our
attention. But I thank you just the
same for bringing it to my notice.”
And again his manner became a plain
dismissal.
This time I accepted it as such with-out
question. Carelessly restoring the
piece of blotting paper to the book
from which I had taken it, I made a
bow and withdrew toward the door.
He seemed to be thinking, und the deep
furrows which I am Bure had been
lacking from his brow a week previous
became startlingly visible. Finally ho
observed:
•■Mrs. Jeffrey was not In her rigm.
mind when she so unhappily took her
life. I Sue now thnt the change in her
dates buck to her wedding day; conse-quently
any little peculiarity she may
have shown ut that time is not to bo
wondered at.”
“Certainly not,” I boldly ventured.
If such peculiarities were shown aft-er
the fright given her by the catas-trophe
which took place In the library.”
Ills eyes, which were fixed on mine,
Dashed, and ills hnnds closed convul-sively.
“We will not consider the subject,”
he muttered, reseating himself in the
chair from which he had risen.
I bowed again and went out. I did
not dwell on the interview in my own
mind, nor did I allow myself to draw
any conclusions from it till I had car-ried
the blotter into the southwest
chamber of the Moore house and care-fully
compared the impressions made
on it with the marks I had scratched
on the surface of the mantelshelf.
This I did by laying the one over the
other after having made holes where
his linger tips had touched the blotter.
The holes in the blotter and the
marks outlined upon the shelf coincid-ed
exactly.

What the Advertis-er
Pays For
BAKING I
VAVA,N/WV/
The man who pays money for ad-vertising
needs a cheerful philosophy
to sustain him. He needs nerve and
faith and patience. The time goes and
the money goes, and the returns linger.
Advertising is the greatest force in
modern business, but it takes nerve to
use it. It is hard for on advertiser to
realize what it is he pays for. He
draws his check for the $4,000 page,
and the page doesn't look as if it were
worth 30 cents. It is hard to project
the imagination into a million homes
and see the advertisement doing its
work.
The advertiser doesn’t pay for type
and ink and paper. He pays for an ef-fect
in people’s minds. It is as intan-gible
ns air nnd as permanent as steel
beams. It is almost ns imperishable
as time.
Monuments crumble, bridges fall,
mountains are disrupted; thought goes
on forever. Teach a man a word, an
idea, a fact, and lie will never wholly
lose it. Your investment in the minds
nnd memories of the people is the safest
thing you own.
The best asset of a business is a well
known trademark. Do you realize what
that means? It means that in the con-volutions'of
the thousands or millions
of human brains that trademark is in-delibly
impressed. You can’t see it,
but it is there, and it is property—you
can capitalize it. It is worth more than
you paid for it.—Advertising Experl-

We Have Often Heard This Remark:
‘ I do not want to buy a Gas Range for fear the gas plays out”
This is it penny wise and a pound foolish policy. (las
us a fuel has come to slay and is beiug more generally used
every year, and, iVi all probability, there will lie plenty of
it to burn when we are not here to use it.
Here is Something for you to
Consider:
At the present cost of natural gas per
thousand feet, you can save the price of
a Prizer Gas Range in a short time, over
the crude and extravagant way of burn-ing
gas or coal in the ordinary stove or
range-—say nothing about the comfort,
convenience and cleanliness. If the price
was doubled, it would be still cheaper to
burn it in a Prizer Gas Range than to
burn coal in (lie ordinary cook stove.
The Prizer Gas Range is complete in all its appointments and con-tains
advanced ideas ot practical worth, and great advantages to the
housekeeper, that are not found in other gas ranges.. You can bake,
roast, boil or broil to your eptire satisfaction with the least cost.
Come in and let us tell you more about them.
