"Not If I can help It!" ,
"I don't see how you can help it. An

from being bound over.''
"We'll cross tjiat bridge when we
come to it," retorted Mr. Royce. "I
think the case against her will soon die
of inanition."
"Oh. very well.". And Singleton
abruptly went back to his desk, biting
Ms mustache thoughtfully. He had
. made something of a reputations since
his election a year before, as a solver
of abstruse criminal problems and
had secured a conviction n two or
three capital cases which had threat
ened for a time to baffle the police. He
, evidently scented something of the
same kind here or he would have In
trusted the casa to one of his ' as
sistants. It might be added that, while
his successes had made him Immensely
popular with the multitude, there -had
been about one or two of them a hint
of unprofessional conduct, which had
made his brethren of the bar look
rather askance at him.
He nodded to the coroner after a
moment, the room was called to order
and the first witness summonea. '
' ' It was Rogers, the confidential clerk.
I knew Rogers, ofcourse; had talked
with him often in a business way and
' had the highest respect for hlca. He
had been with Mr. Holladay much lon
ger than I had been with Graham & ;
"Boyce and had, as Mr. Graham had
pointed out, an unimpeachable reputa
tion. There were the usual preliminaries
name, age, residence, and so on, Coro
- ner Goldberg asking the questions. He
was a really good cross examiner and
soon came to the core of the matter.
"What Is the position of your desk
in Mr. Holladay's officer' he asked.
"There is an outer office for the
clerks; opening from that a smaller
room, where my desk is placed. Open
ing from my room was Mr. Holladay's
' private office."
"Had Mr. Holladay's office any other
door?"
. "No, sir."
"Could entrance be had by the win
dows?" '
"The windows open on the street
side of the building. We occupy a
part of the eighth floor." ,
"The fire escapes" , : "
"Are at the back of the. building
thr nr none on the street side-
nothing but a sheer wall."
"So that any one entering or leavin;
the private office must necessarily pass
by your desk?"
"Necessarily: yes, sir."
"Could any one pass without your
seeing him?"
- - "No, sir; that would be quite tmpos-
iwr
' xne coroner leaned back In Ms chair.
There was one point settled. -
"Now, Mr. Bogers," he said, "will
you kindly tell us," in your own way
and with as much detail as possible,
exactly what happened at your office
shortly before 5,o'clck yesterday aft
ernoon?" - I could see that Bogers was deeply
moved. His face was very white, he
moistened his lips nervously from time
to time, and his hands grasped con
vtiIsIvpIv the arms of his chair. Plain
ly the task before him was far from
an agreeable one.
"Well, sir," he began, "we had a
very busy day yesterday and were at
the office considerably later tnan usuai,
but bv 5 o'clock we bad closed up
work for the day, ana an tne otner
clerfcs, with the exception of the office
boy, had gone home. I had made some
notes from Mr. . Holladay's dictation
and had returned to , my desk to ar
range them when the outer door open

in. She asked me whether her father
was engaged, and upon-my saying no
opened the inner door and entered his
office. She remained, I should think,
about ten minutes, then she came out
again, walked rapidly past without
ira-in at me and. I suDDOse, left the
buildinz. I finished arranging my
notes and then entered Mr. Holladay's
office to ask if he had any' further in
structions for me, and I found him
lying forward on his desk with a knife
sticking in his neck and the blood
SDurtlhg out. I summoned aid, but he
rliPd without regaining consciousness,
I should say, he was practically dead
when I found him.
I felt rather than heard: the little
stir which ran through the room. There
was an indefinable horror in the story
and in the conclusion to which it in
evitably led.
"Now, let us go back a moment," said
the coroner as Rogers stopped and
mopped his forehead feverishly. "I
want the jury to understand your story
thoroughly. Mr. Holladay had been
dictating to you?"
"Yes." f ,
"And was quite well?"
"Yes; as well as usual. He'd been
suffering with indigestion for some
time past." . " .
"Still he was able to attend to busi
ness?" -
' "Oh, yes, sir. There was oothing at
all serious in his illness."
"You then left his office and returned
to your own: How long had you been
there before the outer door opened?" "
"Not over five minutes."
."And who was It entered?" -
' "Miss Frances Holladay,' the daugh
ter of my employer.'
"You're auite sure? Yoa know her
well?" x
"Very well. I'vfr known her for many

the evening to take her father home

for yesterday."

For thirty years Mr. Lovett, a Penn
sylvania farmer, has been an enthusi
ast on the subject of chestnut culture.
He now has about fifty acres planted
to chestnuts, thirty acres in bearing
and twenty acres in young trees and
nursery rows. The bearing trees are
mostly ten and twelve years A& (from
the graft), and at the time of my visit
these trees were heavily loaded with
Immense nuts, a bushel or a- bushel and
a half to a tree.
"All Paragons?". I asked him. "And
how mnch ' do they bring in market
during average years?"
"Mostly Paragons. I've a very few

"Vnt.mnni than tnree' or iout min

"And you found him,-as you say,

knife in his throat and the blood spurt

"Yes, sir. , It. was Ms knife a knife
he kept lying on his desk to sharpen
pencils with and erase and so on.
"Sharp, was it?"
"It had one long blade, very sharp,
sir."
The coroner nicked up a knife that
was lying on the desk, before him.
"Is this the knife?" he asked. .
Bogers looked at it carefully.
"That's the knife, sir," he said, and
it was passed to the jury. When they
had finished with- it, Mr. Boyce and I
examined it. It was an ordinary one
bladed erasing knife with ivory han
dle. It was- open," the blade being
about two inches and a half in length,
and, as I soon convinced myself, very
sharp Indeed.
"Will you describe Mr. Holladay s
position?" continued the coroner.
"He was lying forward on tne aes,
with his arms outstretched , and his
head to one side."
And there was a great deal ,of
blood?"
"Oh. a great deal! Some one appar
ently had attempted to check it, for a
little distance away there was a nana
kerchlef soaked in blood." . '
The. coroner picked up a handker
chief and handed it to the witness.
"Is that the handkercMef ?" he asked.
"Yes, sir,", said Bogers, after a mo-
Is it a man's' or a woman's handker

"Oh, a woman's, undoubtedly !"
The jury examined It, and so did we.
It was a small square of- fine cambric,
with no mark that I could see, soaked
through and . through with . blood un
questionably-a woman's handkercMef.
Then Bogers told the rest of the story
how he had summoned am ana in
formed the police.
"Now, Mr! Bogers," said the coroner,
when be had finished, "there is one
point more- Has there been anything"
in, your' knowledge of Mr. Holladay or

variety originated on my farm. I am
now propagating it as fast as possible."
How do you market the chestnut
crop?"
"Just sit still and the orders and Duy-
ers come to me. The demand for chest
nuts is steadily increasing because the
country's population is growing. But
the supply is rapidly decreasing. Why?
Because the native chestnut trees are
being sacrificed to supply lumber. And
where are the trees to replace those
eaten by sawmills? As regards Para
gon or other large varieties, the supply
is verv. very limited. The rew : at
tempts that have been made to estab

the foreign variety of nut is too inferior
in flavor to deserve notice.'

H. E. Van Pelt, writing in the Jersey
Bulletin, tells as follows of the value of
linseed oil as a remedy for ailments of
cows. After describing its successful
use for a case of bloat during the St
Louis demonstration he goes on to say
There is no remedy of so much value
about the cow barn as a good supply
of raw linseed oil. and for us it cer
tainly saved a great deal of trouble
throughout the test. I cannot help but
believe that without its speedy use on
several occasions that are now pointed
out by "off feed" the cows would have
suffered very seriously. The writer has
always thought that, whatever may be
the ailment of the animal, the first
thing to do is to make certain that the
digestive tract is in proper working
order before further treatment is re
sorted to. In nine cases out of ten the
feeder will find that, with cows on
heavy feed the worst of the ailment is
past when the digestion is made per
fect, and I have never known d good
dose of oil to harm any beast at any
time. So if you wish to be on the safe
side when you are giving your cows
their best record have at hand in the
barn a supply of raw linseed oil.

No time should be lost in sowing

Selling Milk, Cream or Butter.
The comparative profits of selling
dairy products, as milk, cream or but
ter, have been carefully figured out by
the Maryland experiment station. It is
found that cream is one of the most
profitable forms of sale, since 20 per
cent cream' can be sold at 50 cents a
gallon, and even at this low price re
turns 23 cents per pound for the but
ter in the Htilk, besides leaving the
skim milk for use on the farm. Of
course cream ean usually be sold for
than f,0 cents Der gallon. It also
appears that milk shipping is ordinari
ly more profitable than buttermaking.
Thus 12 cents per gallon for 3 per
cent milk is equal to 23 cents, per
pound for the butter, while at 15 cents
per gallon for 3 per cent milk the
butter is sold at 32 cents per pound.
In selling cream at 70 cents per gallon
the price obtained is equal to 33 cents
for the butter, but creameries never
pay this amount for butter,, and no
homemade butter brings any such
price except for a very few gilt edge
takes. ' . . - ' " -
