I got up and started toward the
door that gave upon the upper gal-

was a patter of bare feet on the
floor behind me, and the next min

Of a sudden Bobby Jerked oon-

ber free hand pointed downward
and to the left.
I looked where ahe was pointing,
. In the yerv heart of that blackness,
something was moving; something
' that was too la's for a dog. Then
it passed from the shadow Into the
moonlight, and I saw with relief
that it actually was Uncle Raoul.
"He's probably looking for that
darned dog." I replied. 'THe's got a

"Wilkes wants to see all of us

He wouldn't say what It's to be

The sheriffs attitude, when we

thing which he laid on the bule
table beside which he was standing.
It was a bright, new silver dollar.
Henri was tne iirat to speaa.
"What's so funny about my cousin
having a dollar In his pocket?" he
demanded.
"Nothing," the sheriff answered.
"Only, this wasn't in his pocket. It
was In his left hand."
The sheriff brought a worn leath
er wallet from the inside pocket of
his coat and extracted from it a
torn niece of naoer. which he laid
on the table beside the dollar.
"We found this crumpled up in
his right hand pants pocket, he
announced. "Maybe some of you
know what It Is."
The paper, obviously part of a leaf
from an ordinary pocket notebook,
had some writing on It; but because
of the way it had been torn, the
words were not continuous.

"Which one of you bought Claude
Dumont's share in his grandfather's
estate for one dollar?" he demanded
at last.
Even Beau looked surprised.
There was the sound of footsteps
descending the stairs Just then, and
Cousin Eft came Into view. At sight
of the sheriff, he stopped.
The sheriff picked up the paper,
and handed It to htm.
"Maybe you can tell me some
thing about this, Mr. Marshall," he
suggested.
"I'm at raid I cant," ne said after
a moment. "What's It supposed to

have sold one of us his shares in
Orandpere's estate," Amedee ex
plained. '
The sheriff glanced around the
circle.
'Where's Mr. Raoul Dumont?" he
demanded suddenly.
"My father hasnt come down
stairs yet," Lee explained.
"Then send up after him."
Uncle Bountiful returned.
"Mlstuh Raoul ain't In his room."
he announced, addressing himself
to Lee. "Shall Ah go look fo' him?"
Lee glanced lnoulrlnslv at the
Isheriff.
No. I don't guess thatll be neces
sary," Wilkes said unexpectedly.
"One more thing," he said as he
was about to leave. "We forgot to
take the sword along with us when
we were here yesterday. The coro
ner thinks we ought to have it for
the Inquest."
"Do you remember what the coro
ner did with It?" Cousin Jeff in
quired. "I mean after ..." He let
the sentence trail away unfinished.
At that, I saw Bobby open her
mouth to say something. I shot her
wraning glance, and she closed
It again.
"Well, you can ask him when he
gets back," the sheriff said. "I don't I
guess It matters a whole lot, , but
some o' the Jurors may want to see

Sewage Plant
Nearly Fini
Woodburn A report was
given at th regular meeting of
the Woodburn city council
Tuesday evening that the city
sewage disposal plant would be
completed within the next 30
days. The mains and all of the
disposal plant except installa
tion of machinery were com
pleted last summer and fall.
A letter was read from the
Southern Pacific company in re
ply to r request for a signal at
the Bradley street crossing
where a man 'was killed by a
freight train last month. The
company stated that the small
amount of traffic over the cross
ing did not warrant the expense
of such a signal. A counter sug
gestion made was that the city
improve Ogle street as the exit
for the area and close the
Bradley street crossing.
The city recorder was in
structed to contact property
owners who were over ! 18
months delinquent in city as
sessments.
A complant was made by the
highway commission on the con
dition of Young street at the
sewer crossing and the contrac
tor was given five days to repair
the street. ,
A complaint was made by the
park board about water from
the south side of Oak street at
First which washes out the park-
