ThitiKM ain't a hit like they was when I was young, and whun they gets the new railroad I a'pnae I ahull have to go into the pnoihonso. A runilile in the distance growing nearer and louder gives wurning of the approaching train, and in a few seconds the extireas from Chicago comes to a ataiiitstill in Itarnstaplo depot, and a solitary paaaeiiger alighta and stamps his feet vigoronaly njnin the platform. The station muster, forsaking the in dividual whose sole conversational (tow ers seeuied to Imj ouilined to reminis- "Be you the o nl as trout to yo lo A'oa cumlief cetices upon the nntiniely death of his 20 cows, enters into a lively conversa tion with the engineer aa to the state of the road between llarnstuplo and the end of the jonrney. The few passengers in the train gaze anxiously out nf the steamy windows and growl disconso lately. Then the engine gives a mourn ful hoot, a disconsolate and fatigued kind of pnll, and slowly they leave the station and issue forth into the niht. The lights are lowen-d, and Barn staple relapses into rIiiiiiInt. "Well, that's a bad journey over," aoliloqnizes the traveler left upon the phitform as he endeavors to restore lii ciicnlation by a variety of ingenious adaptations of thecellar flap. "Now for tin! woret part seven iiiilea along conn try roads in some ramshackle convey ance, I snppose. " "Be you the gent as wants to go to Ni iri-oiube?" "Ye. Have you got a carriage?" "It would lie no matter of rise a-try-in to get four wheels to Norcomlie, so I've brought a dogcart, and I don't s'poxo we'll get there in that. It lie a mortal had ni'-rht." "Well, we'll try, 'eh?" "Y'ep, we'll try," the man answers In a melancholy voice as he clanila-rs into the high dogcart, while the pas senger takes a wut by his side and. glancing at the horse, estimates that the driver is not very far wrong and that they are not likely to get to Nor combe after all. But in two seconds he has altered his opinion altogether and arrived at the conclusion that he don not know a horse from a tenpeuny nail. "Old man." he would often say aft erward in ri-coiinting the incident to Mine particular i lium, "if yon want a nre cure for etinfli or a tdnggish liver try a ac.ven mile ride on a frosty nigH. with the roads like a shi-et of glass, i liind a Kentucky nag. Tolmgganing in Canada's a fool to it. If yon'd seen that horse, that looked as if he conldn't raise enough energy to drag a hearse, take a alipi-ry hill, nearly as steep as the side of a house, nt an easy trot, without so much as winking, yon'd have gasped, and when he got to the ton and went full sia-ed down the other side your only regret would have lieen ' that yon hadn't ilonbl.il the amount of your accident insurance. Of all horses in the world give me a Kentucky horse, ' as fast as a railroad train and a sure , footed as a mule. Imagine, niy toy. a seven mile drive on a frosty moonliuht ' night behind a qnadrnped that trestiil I the whole affair as a joke, aifl then Imagine jay. with the reins in his hand, who did nothing bnt say: 'He an t go like he nsod to. Ite'a gettin eld and lazy.' It was a drive I've never forogtten and one I'm never likely to f.'Vget." "It's a mortal bad winter." the driver again olwrve as they spin over the friwt Imnnd road, "mortal bad." , "Ye, It a bit severe. " "Ah. we've never had such a winter ri"! 'SI, when I had SOinwg all froze to Hi ath in one night. " I ".Mi?" "Y , and the atrordinary thing waa that I said to myself a I went to bed. - rr. s, a ii i i ii a & m i JB1 11 I J a a Now, I almnldn't be 'prised if some of them was froze in the uiornin. That what f said the night afore." "Then why didn't yon get np and trv to make them wanner? The driver turns a look of blank astonishment on Herbert Purreut It is the first ti h thut snch a reasonable suggestion tieeii offered to him, and its novelty is a bit bewildering. "City folks don't understand cattle, he grnmbles at last and falls to rumi nating why hedidn't get npand do some thing for those 30 cows, but aa he can not arrive at any satisfactory solution lie presently breaks the silence again. "You've just come np from Chicago, eh?" "Yea." "Ah! What do they think of n?" "Think of yon?" "Yep What do they think of onr murder?" he explains, with a ghoulish appreciation of the tine uviuhlo notoriety that Norcomlie had suddenly achieved. "Have ynn heard alxmt it, sir?" "Oh. yes: I saw something in the pa pers Mr. Marsdeii, the old Britisher, at the country place he called The Orange. " "Yep: that's right old Marsden, close fi.-ted old Marsden. He was a great miser, he was. sir. If young Marsden collies into the property, things will he better, bnt he's a wild devil." Shi?'' "Kh ?" "Marsden's son?" "No; pickeil him np somewhere. Perh:iis he is. Yon never know." "Who murdered him?" "Dun no. Like to shako hands with him. " "Indiiil ; Y'on atem an amiable kind of individual. " "Buhl Oood riddance to bad rubbish. I was goin along all right till he raised my rent so that I couldn't make both ends meet, and it's hard times, sir, with snch a bad winter. I mind me, sir, that we never had such a winter uiuce 'HI. " "Yes, yes; yon told me alxint that and the cows. Now, as to this murder. Have the police no clew?" "No; can't have any. It waa done by ghosts. The Orange ig haunted. " - "Oh. iudivd! Then yon'd like to shake hands with a ghost?" TheHriver shivered and glanced haif apprehensively over his shi;nlder. Then, sinking his voice to a mysterious key, he continued, "Home one went into the house and murdered old Marsden and never came out again, and he's not there now, unit no one bnt a ghost could do that. " "Really?" "And I expect we'll have one of them clever detective! coinin down from Chicago, but he won't find ont anything, 'cause it was done by a ghost, and no detectives can catch ghosts. Whoa!" The horse is jhi Hod np with a sudden jerk. "This is Norcomlie. The Palace hotel, ch, sir?" "Yes." "If yon'd like to have a look at The Grange, it's almnt a qnarter of a mile np on the right. " "Thanks. I'll stroll np in the morn ing. Oood night " "Ootal night. " Ilerla-rt 1 )u r rent climbs ont of the dogcurt, and the driver gathers np the reins, seta the horse's head homeward, and the animal cunters off aa lively as ever. The man stands at the door of the village hotel in the ruddy light stream ing throngb Its short crimson curtains nntil the vehicle is out of sight and then turns and walks thoughtfully down the main street nntil he reaches a cottage dignifii'd by the legend "Po lice Station" inscribed in large black letters on a white Isuird primitive alxxle of the law as represented in the person of a yonng policeman in a very badly fitting uniform who is just quit ting the house and smartly salutes as he opens the gate. "Are yon Mr. Dohaont" "No, sir; he's inside. " "Off duty?" "Y'es; it's my round. " "Then I won't detain yon, bnt I shall want to see you in the morning, early." "Very good, sir. I'll lie here at 9 sharp. Oood night" "Oood night." "Smart young fellow that," Darrent observes to himself as he pushes open the door. "Thank gotslness they're not all so old fogyish as my prosy driver!" The door opens right into the kitchen of the cottage, where Dobson. chief of police of Norcomlie, is lounging in his chair before tne fire. The police cares of the day are over, and he is smoking an exceedingly dirty clay pipe and rev eling in the luxury of purely animal idleness as only a man of absolutely en fcchlcd intellect can. Still, he can be pointiona at times, as befits one who holds and hat held for a round doien year the Important post of chief of po lice of Norcomlie, an office that is little more than a sinecure, and, removing his pi)ie from his month, he gazes at his visitor with an expression of min gled annoyance at being disturlwd and the importance that befits hi position. "Well," he inquire after examining Darrent from head to foot, "what's the matter with yon ?" "Yon are Mr. Dobson, I believe?" Mr. I)iliwn noils. "Polio man?" "Yes; chief of police of Norcomlie." "Well, It's all the same," Darrent rejoin. "I'm an officer from Chicago. Perhaps yon have heard my name Hi-rU-rt Durretit " "No: never heard of It before," an swer Mr. DolMin, at once conclusively proving himself to bean idiot of thefirrt water by confessing that he is unac quainted with the name of the man Whom tne npapers are never tired of calling "the American Leoua" t. "never heard it l-fore. " "Ah. well, that doesn't mutter, aftet all " tlej visitor continues good ha inoredly. "Of course von know that Chicago detectives rarely interfere out side Chicago, leaving everything to the local authorities, bnt in this murder at The Orange, Mr. Dolmm, your mavor baa deemed it expedient in face of the fact that there is more mystery than "Well, trhnt't Hit mutter with inuf" usual ensnrouaing the matter, not to leave the case entirely in the hand of the village police. He sent for me, and I am here. Mr. Dobson again nods his bead. "Here are my credentials. You will see th'ii from today I relieve yon alto gether of the case, and yon are instruct ed to afiord me all the assistance I may require. " Mr. Dobson is nettled and shows it "Then," he answers sharply, "you'vs come on a wild goose chase. No one can solve the mystery of the murder." "Just the sort of case I lika Now, then, let me know all the particulars, or, rather, let me see if I'm right in my facts so far, aa yon seem rather slow of speech, Mr. Dolieon. " The chief of police pnffs his fat cheeks in indignation, bnt something seems to warn him not to answer, and he is wise enongh to olay. "Now, then," says Darrent cheerily aa he takes a seat and refers to his pocketbook, "stop me when I go wrong. " Again Mr. Dobson merely mala. "Josiah Marsden, a queer old British er, lived in an old rambling house known as The Orange, a qnarter of a mile from here lived a solitary life; reported to be a miser; only two or three rooms nsed ; no servants. A wom an came every morning for a few honrs and did what was wanted. She weut, as nsual, on the 12th of this month; found Marsden dead, killed by a stab from a large clasp knife which was found there; no other clew of any kind. Is that right?' Mr. Dobson, w ho has been sagacious ly nodding his head in assent to each sentence as Darrent, haa read it ont. now nods it more emphatically as he concludes, and, after taking a few whiffs at his pipe, asks, "What's the reward?" ' "Nothing unless the relatives offer it" "Oh I" "Now, thon, what can you add to what I've read?" "Something that will puzzle the clever Chicago detectives, with all their brag," Dolisou answers, with a grin. "On the night of the murder there was a heavy fall f snow it la'gan at 11 and ceased at 1 and none has fallen since in Norcotubo. " "Well?" "The mnrderer entered at the front of The Orange; went right in through the street door. I traced his footsteps from the gute to the door." "Yes. " "That's all." "What do you mean?" "He never left There were no foot steps from the house. " Herbert Darrent bends his head in thought for a moment. Here was the chief of police rein-ating exactly the same story as the driver of the dogcart had told him. He knits his brows and ponders, attempting to solve the prob lem. "Very well ; go on," ho says at last. "Anything else?" "Nothing," shortly replies Dobson, annoyed at the indifferent airof the de tective. "I snpioee you know the mur derer already, eh?" "I think, Mr. Dobson," he quietly answers, "if you've any respect for the poet yon hold, you'll keep that fool tongue of yonrs qnieter. Murder is not a joke specially arranged for an ordi nary 'cop' to air cheap wit npoii. " The man flushes with wonuded pride and glares nt the lira "I'm getting sick of the whole blessed thing," he growls at last. "Being croas questioned twice in one day by Chicago detectives is enough to try any one's temper." "What?" "First one detective, then another It's sickening. " "Do yon mean to tell me you've had a detective here before me?" "Yes; this morning. " "From Chicago?" "Yes." "How do yon know?" "He said so." "Oh I Ho said so, did he, Mr. Dob son, and yon believed him? Did yon ask him for his authority ?" "No." "Then yon are a fool I Wake np, man, wake np! Bouse yonrself I What Was he like? What did he do? What did he say? Where is he?" shonted Dnrrent in short, snappy sentences like pistol shots. "How do I know where ho is? He rame this morning and aid he'd jnst arrived by train from Cbicago and had Iriven over. " "What time was that?" "Ten." "Then how the deuce conld he come from Chicago?" "I never thought of that." "Nu, of course yon didn't, Mr. Dob son. Oo on." ne said he'd come to look into the murder, sol fcsk him nptoTbeOrange and told him all abont it" "Well, is that al.?" "i owed him the knife." "Which, of course, yon let him take W7." "No. I didn't He didn't ask for it" "Oh! That's a relief anyhow. Then he didn't take anything away T "Yea, he did." What?" Oonf Ism on fourth Page. SilllKHAX Sll'I'OKT THK PKE1- vr.r. Oi) the queeMon of (lie settlement, immediate and ultimate, of the Fil ipino luo Jacob C. Schurman, the head of tho Philippine commission, stands with the administration end the great body of expansionists of all parlies. In an address Just delivered at the opening of the school year of Cornell Uuiverstiy he declared that while a year ago he was opposed to the taking of the Philippines fiom Spain, he haa altered his opinion sulwtequently. The Phi.ippiues have, by the Spanish treaty, become Ami r icnn territory, which settles I lie ques liiui whiclilwas open twelve months ago, when, he gave his adverse opin Ion, ami now ib only issue m as to what sort of government is to be giveu to the Islands after the rebel lion is suppressed. lie, like ail other practical and patriotic Americans, wanis to have the insurrection put down at the earliest possible mo. ment, ami then the issue of civil gov. eminent for the islands will come up, but not before. SchurujHu's attitude toward the administration's ideas aa In the ulti mate government of the island tuny be misinterpreted by the "anti-imperialists." He declares that our mission "is to educate aud elevate the Filipinos, and to aid Ihem in gov erning themselves." This has un loubledly been the idea of the presi dent from the beginning, and this will probably be recommended to to eongrtsa in the annual measHire which will be presented to that body in December.Thia couulry, he says, will "not adopt (he policy of scuttle." It will establish American sovereign ty "even by force," but there will be no "abandonment," "extermination" or "desertion." The people of this country will give "honestland fra ternal co-operation with the Filipir os for the establishment of a just and stable government of the natives who shall have ever-increa ing par ticipation in proportion to the devel opment of their (Kilitical capacities, the growth of their political exper. lence and I he progress of the masses in education aud civilizition." All this has been the aspiration of the president and the .expansionbts in general from Ihe outset. The adop tlon of this policy will undoubtedly be urged In congress by the republi cans just as soon asathe rebellion is ended, or when the end is brought in sight. There will Ik as little chance for the contractionists to make parly capital out of Hehurman as there is out of Dewey. On IhiIIi of these per sonages the "anti-imperialists" relied for support, but both have gone against them. The American people are in favor of home", rule for every community under the flag, if that community is fit for it. Hut neither Schurman Dewey or anybody elsewho has been in the islands, or who has studied the conditions with Intelli gence and impartiality, supposes the Filipinos are fitted for a large meas ure of home rule at this time. They have been under the sway of iSpain for centuries, and noNsly of sense has ever yet declared that Spain's colonial sys'em Is a good schisil in the ait of self-government. Hpniti it k If kuow very little alaiut the wsy to intelligently govern itself, and Ihe S.ianlsrd, as even the most bigoted f the AguinahlistSj In. Ihe United Slates will concede, is superior In in telligence, morals and general bal ance to the masses of the Tagals. and they are supposed to be farther ad vanced in civilization than any other of the Irils-s in the archipelago, ex cept two or three. The adminislra lion, Ihe tepohlican party and the masses of the.American people are in harmony with Dewey and Sjliur inan on Ihe question of the ultimate government of the Philippines. Af ter American sovereignty is estab lished and recogniZ'Mj the Filipinos will be granted as large a share of home rule aa they, in their own in terest and the Interest of the United States can stand, and that self rule will be increased just as fast and just as far as I hey are loutiii capanieoi using it wisely.
