.1 The Trail of the Dead: f THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE f OF DR. ROBERT HARLAND ly I. FLETCHER ROBINSON art J. MALCOLM f BASER (CeByrlght, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowie) CHAPTER V. II. THE MYSTERY OF THE LEMS- DOUF HAM. IIow UUdolf Marnac, tho venerable savant, brought about the death of his rival and critic. Professor Von btock mar, of Heidelberg University, I have already explained. I have, moreover, Re lated the accident by which my cousin, Sir Henry Graden, the famous explorer and scientist, chanced to bo visiting me, a student of medicine at the German mil versity: and I have endeavored to outline the steps by which the baronet arrived nt the discovery of the crime that had been committed. I have now to tell of he pursuit of Marnac, the murderer; a pursuit as strange in its outset as it was terrible in its conclusion. For this, the tirst adventure in the chase of this In liumnn monster, it may be said that I Jiave chosen r fanciful title. Yet "The Mystery of the Lemsdorf Ham" Is too Appropriate to bo neglected for that rea son. At the first the Heidelberg police met our theory of Von Stoekmar's death with Incredulity. When they moved in earn est it was too late; all trace of Professor Marnac had been lost. It was discov ered that he had taken from his rooms a small traveling valise and a consid erable sum in ready money; but beyond theso facts nothing was known; even his manner of leaving Heidelberg was a mystery. For myself, the weeks that followed were In every respect intolerable. From a peaceful student I found myself trans formed into a secret ally of the police, an unhappy being whoso privacy was liable to be disturbed at all hours by some inquisitive official. Even worse, the authorities had detained my cousin. and those who are intimates of Sir Henry Qraden will understand that I suffered at his hands. In the capture of Hie murderer as we knew Marnac to be he took a passionate interest. He was forever in my rooms, denouncing the authorities for their delay, -advancing theories, or cursing his own inaction The lieutenant in charge of the Heidel berg police went in absolute terror of the Englishman, and, indeed, refused all Interviews in which he was not adequate ly protected by his satellites. On a calm October morning I was sit ting reading by my window, thankful of the momentary quiet I enjoyed, when the door burst open and my cousin come frolicking into the room. I admit the ab surdity of the expression when applied to a middle-aged giant of Bixteen stone; but frolicking describes it. Without a word of apology he seized my book, a new edition of "Digestive Organs of Mol luscs." and flung it into the fireplace. It was too much. "Henry Graden," said I, starting up indignantly, "you are my cousin, but you presume on that relationship. These chool-boy a'ntics are insupportable." "Capital! Robert! capital!" he an swered, regarding me with a comical expression. "I say ! there's stuff in the boy! You'd like to punch my head, I suppose?" I was somewhat ashamed of my out burst, and picked up the book, which vaa greatly damaged, before I replied. "It's all very well, Cousin Graden," I said, sulkily enough. "But between ' you and tho police, I am worried to death." "Good! Then you can have no ob jection to leaving Heidelberg this after noon. "Leave Heidelberg! Why should I leave Heidelberg?" He strode over to where I stood and laid bis great hand on my shoulder with a touch that implied an apology. "A -schoolboy you called me just now. That's just what I am, a schoolboy let loose on the playgrouud. The police have raised their embargo. An address which will bring me when tiiey have need of my evidence that is ail they ask. Now, I want a traveling companion a man I can trust. You cau guess my errand, Cousin Robert. Before a week is out I shall have my hand on him, I shall, by heaven! You will conio with me? Good lad, I knew it. The train leaves at three. 111 call for you." "But where are we going?" I shouted, running to the door; for already he was down a score of stairs. "St Petersburg. You have a pass port?" "Yes but Cousin Graden, Cousin Graden, I say " It was no use. I heard the street door slam behind him. St Petersburg and the winter coming on. Eugh! I had always detested cold. But next to escaping misfortune it is best to possess a philosophic mind. I commenced to pack my bag with my warmest underwear. At thirty-five minutes past two Graden aent up word to say that he had a cab waiting my pleasnre, and In three min utes more my luggage was upon it. Half way down the main street we chanced upon Mossel, the fat lieutenant of police. He glanced at us keenly, with, as I thought, a certain suspicion. Graden saluted him coldly, muttering maledic tions upon him for a stupid ass. There was no great friendship between the two. I paid the cab while my cousin saw to the tickets. Five marks provided us with a subservient guard and au empty carriage. "And what are your plans for this Intolerable Petersburg expedition?" I asked, as the train thumped lta way out of the station. "We are not going to St. Petersburg. We are going to Lemsdorf." "To Lemsdorf! I have never heard of the place." "No more had I an hour ago. Allow me to discover It." He pulled a red-bound Baedeker out of hi pocket and fluttered through the page. "Here we have It 'Lemsdorf: four teen to fifteen hours from Berlin. Rising town in West Prussia; 12,000 Inhabi tants. Law dye-works. 'Prims voa PreuMua,' 'Ge4dBr Adler' hotels well tpokMt of. Cab from the ftatkw, 75 pg. UUU U kUUrleal laterwt, Bxenrioaa to Dcnker and tho Hurcn, a wild and desolate district with several large lakes, on the Russian frontier.' Not altogether an Inviting prospect at the latter end of October, eh, Cousin Robert?" "I did not Imagine we wero going thero for pleasure. "Pessimist! Do neither tho 'Print von Preussen' nor tho 'uoldncr Adler,' 'well spoken of,' as Baedeker describes theso hostelrles, attract you? Then tho dye- works, they are sure to be Interesting." '.Henry Graden." cried I with dotcr mlnatton, "you try me too far! I am as eager as yourself that this criminal should be brought to justice. For this reason alone I have every right to know tho why and wherefore of an expedition which will entail upon me, as I see clear ly, the most cxtraordmaryidlcomforts." "It seems a pity, my dear cousin, that Nature, which endowed you with so many admirable qualities, should have omitted the saving grace of humor," he rejoined And then changing his tone to a groatcr sobriety: "You shall hear all that I know or conjecture. It will, at least, help us on our journey. "First, as to the facts at my disposal. For myself, I had heard much of Rudolf Marnac, but only as a Heidelberg pro fessor of distinction, whose stupendous effort, 'Science and Belief,' had set edu cated Europe by the ears. From you I learned of his quarrel with Von Stock mar, a quarrel originating in tho tatter's attack on the work in question, of which Marnac was inordinately vain. Then came the chain of facts that proved to our mihd at least that Marnac had mur dered his colleague with a diabolical in gennity. Could such a crime be inspired by a quarrel so trifling? It was almost past belief. Further evidence was nec essary; and this evidence the Investiga tions of the police have supplied. "When I learned that his father, Jean Marnac, had died in a Paris asylum, I began to see my way. But It was the statements of his servants that cleared up my last doubt. An eccentricity which at one time amused them had of late been changed to a violence that filled them with terror. He had presented them with copies of the book, elaborately bound. A housekeeper who had served him for twenty years was loaded with abuse and discharged because the old creature admitted that she could not fol low his arguments. He was the victim of a partial mania. Such cases are not uncommon. "Whither had this dangerous creature fled? It seemed a mystery insoluble, He was well provided with money; on all topics but one he was admirably sens ibie. The police admitted that he had beaten them. But only yesterday I ob tained a clue. It may be valueless; but for myself I think otherwise. At least it is worth the journey I am asking you to make in my company. "At my urgent request the police ad mitted me to his rooms. His papers they had already examined, without re sult. I found that he possessed a fine library. I am a book-lover, and my first step was to examine it. Tucked away in a corner of a shelf, yet within easy reach of his customary chair, I found a vol ume. It was typical of the man that it should be elegantly bound. Within were collected the hostile criticisms with which his book had been loaded. The more severe were scribbled over with the vilest epithets. Von Stockmar was personally threatened, as was also a certain Mech- ersky, a professor of the Imperial Uni versity at Petersburg. I .abstracted the volume. You may like to examine It." He drew it from the capacious pocket of his traveling ulster and gave It to me. The cover was of the choicest morocco; upon it, in gold, were emblazoned the arms of the university. It was a triumph of the binder's art, yet I handled it with a singular feeling of disgust. The interior was oddly divided. The greater part consisted of clippings from papers and magazines, neatly gummed upon blank pages. But here and there were interpolated pamplilets, lield in their place by elas.tlc bauds. In contrast witii this orderly arrangement, scarcely a page but wus defaced by penciled re marks, satirical or abusive. I ran through them hastily until I came upon the arti cle whicli bore Mechcrsky's name, ex tracted apparently from Home French re view. Its severity seemed to have lashed Marnac to fury. It was covered with a maze of penciliugs. But my attention was soon centered on a portion of the text which, being underlined in red, stood out from the page with some prominence. The author of 'Science and Belief," for thus It ran, "seems to have lost touch with humanity. His deductions might be correct if men were bloodless, merciless automatons. He regards them as might some reptile let us say, a toad scientif ically inclined." Across this criticism, which seemed to me unnecessarily severe, was written in German: "Infamous scoundrel! Would that I might crush you like a toad!" "A curious wish," I said, pointing to the passage. "And from Marnac a most dangerous one," he answered. "I can only hope we shall reach Lemsdorf in time." "Lemsdorf again! And' why Lems dorf?" "For the excellent reason, Cousin Rob ert, that Mechersky, who comes of land owning Polish stock, is holiday-making at Castle Oster, a place he has In that neighborhood. And as sure as I sit here, where Mechersky is, there will be that madman, Rudolf Marnac. If he means jto murder the man, be will have bad nigh on a month to bring it off. Heaven grant that we're In time!" The tone in which he spoke thrilled me with a dreadful anxiety. The danger was indefinable; but fear draws its dark est terrors from the unknown. "One thing more." I said. "How did you discover Mechersky's whereabouts?" "I bad thought him at St Petersburg: but a wire to a friend there gars aie the Information I required." CHAPTER VI. I kava Blither the atcewlty Mf Um inclination to dwell on that Journey. It was very lato when we rolled into tho station of tho good town of LlpIc, whero we spent tho night at a convenient hotel. Yet It was at an early hour that Graden roused mo from a tired sleep to catch the Poson express. Tho country through which wo now Journeyed was of a melancholy similitude, and the broad plains, though reasonably cultivated, ef fected me with a mental depression which the cheery efforts of my companion could not conquer. The day was draw ing to Its close as we reached Posen and nasiinil tlirnnirh thnt fnrtrrns cltV Into! i .. I . tr I. Ire Mtock. a land of desolation.

(To be continued.) DEED OF A MERRY RASCAL- Posed nm a Detetstlve In Order to Get Montr from Victim. One French became ncquainted wIMi. Gerry Harlow, a leading citizen ,of Dlxileld, while the two were spending a few days In Portland. The two seem ed congenial nnd decided to be com rades on n little excursion to Rnnge ley. They passed a linppy week nt Mnlne's lake resort. One morning French came back with the story thn.t he had found a moose In the woods. He asked Harlow If he did not wnnt to help him bring It in In the after noon. Hnrlow nssented nnd the two started off. When they reached a lone ly spot they left tho road nnd went Into the woods ; French suddenly point ed n pistol nt Harlow, nnd told him to. hold up his hands. French showed a United States de tective's badge nnd told Harlow that he was under arrest on the chnrge of passing- counterfeit money. Hnrlow at tempted to escape, whereupon French shot nt him, the bullet striking Har low's neck, where It Is still embedded. French told Hnrlow thnt two other olllccrs were In the woods watching his every movement and should he attempt to escape would shoot nt hlin. French then said he wns going to town after n team with which to take the prisoner to the Fartnlngtou Jail. Harlow was completely terrorized. French com pelled him to give up his money, his diamond ring, two signed checks nnd then forced him to write two more checks to his (French's) order. French then left Hnrlow In the woods and wns gone about two hours, returning, as he said he would, with a tenni. Then ennio nn all-night drive, with n brief halt for n few hours' sleep, and In tho morning- French reached Fnrmlngton with his prisoner and marched him Into Jail. French showed his budge nnd told the Jailer thut tho prisoner wan n des perute man nnd no one should be al lowed, to Be him. French went to the bank In Fnrmlngton and tried to cash his check and this Is whero he made his mistake. The man from whom he rented the team appeared with inpcrs two pounds each of the bran and corn meal, giving, of course, n liberal quan tity of roughage. As gluten produces considerable body heat, and more when fed in conjunction with comment, It Is essentially a valuable winter feed, but is best cut out of the summer ration. Hand? Knit Uox.

In fact, It Is duo to a small Insect belonging to tho Hemlptern or true bugs, which live Inside tho frothy ninss.

This Is n view held by the best shep herds. The view Is protmbly correct nnd the practice might well Is: Inaugu rated by sheepmen. The purple-top-ped, strap-leafed turnips have general ly given best results. They should be sown somewhnt thick, and thinned to four to six Inches In n row. The thin ning can best be done when tho drills are made iiou ridges provided for Mie puriKW. With these crops should Ih drilled either n hit of turnip or radish seed.
