Now that there is so much discussion
as to the rate at which doctors a're to
paid for their services under the In
surance act, it is interesting to read of
the singular way in which Welsh mon
archs used to pay their doctors. At the
court of the Gwynedd kings the phy
sician or surgeon ranked twelfth in or
der of precedence among the household
officials, and his fees were carefully de
fined. For curing a flesh wound that
was not dangerous the doctor was al
lowed no other perquisite than such of
the garments of the wounded person as
were stained with blood. Rut for cur
ing any of what were called “the thr. .
dangerous wounds” he was granted a
fee of and his maintenance during
the cure, besides the blood-stained gar
ments.

A Crochet Woolen Motor Cap Trimmed With Pheasant Feathers.
“The Case of Oscar Slater”
By S/r Arthur Conan Doyle
i
i Sherlock Holmes in Real Life
TODAY S INSTALLMENT
There are ‘till one or two singular
points which invite comment. < m»* ot
those, which I have incidentally men
tioned, i?i that neither the matchbox, n«»r
the box opened in the bed room, showed
any marks of blood. Yet the crime had
been an extraordinarily bloody one. This
Is certainly very singular.
AN EXPLANATION.
An explanation given by Dr. Adams,
who was the first medical man to view
the body, is worthy of attention. He
considered that the wounds might have
been inflicted by prods downward from
the leg <d a chair, in which case the
seat of tlio chair would preserve the
clothe. , and, to some extent, the hands of
the murderer from bloodstains The con
dition of one of the ('hairs seemed to
him to favor this supposition.
The explanation Is Ingenious, but I
must confess that I can not understand
how such wounds could be inflicted by
such an instrument. There were in par
tlcular a number of spindle shaped cuts,
with a bridge of skin between them, which
are very suggestive. My first choice as
to the weapon which inflicted these
would be a burglar's Jimmy, which is bi
furcated at one end, while the blow which
pushed the poor woman's eye Into her
brain w< old represent a thrust from the
other end.
Failing a jimmy. I should choose a ham
mer, hut a very different one from the
toy thing from a half crown card of tools
which was exhibited In court. Surely,
common sense would say that such an in
strument could burst an eyeball, but eouhl
not possibly drive it deep Into the brain,
since the short head could not penetrate
nearly so far
The hammer which 1 would reconstruct
from the Injuries would be what they
call, I believe, a plasterer’s hammer, short
In the handle, long and strong In the
head, with a broad fork behind. But how
such a weapon could be used without the
user hearing marks of it is more than I
can say
It has never been explained why a
rug whs laid over the murdered woman.
The murderer, as his conduct before Uni-
Ide and Adams showed, was a perfectly
cool person It is at least possible that
he used the rug as a shield between him
and tiis victim while ht battered her with
his weapon His clothes, if not his hands,
would tn this way be preserved.
1 have said that it is of the first im
portance to trace who knew to the exist
ence of the jewels, since this might great
ly help the solution of the problem.
In connection with this there is a pas
sago In Lambic a evidence in New York
which is of some importance. I give it
from the stenographer s report, condens
ing In places;
Q "Do you know In Glasgow a man

CONCERNING THE PRESS.
Mrs. lysander john APPLE
TON was entertaining her fool
est friend. Having told her
foole.- t friend all her troubles, and sigh
ed so heavily she tested the staying
powers of her straight front corset, she
made a mental acrobatic turn from het
domestic woes to the wrongs of the
world. She attacked the daily newspa
pers, referring to it In pompadour tones .
as Tile Press.
"If I had a voice in The Press.” she
said, "I would make every news item
in the paper an appeal to the heart.
Ati 1 by that I mean the heart of the
woman reader. The men,” reverting to
her domestic woes, “have no hearts.
“The Press tells of the fall of some
town in Turkey, whose name is abso
lutely unpronounceable. It tells what
the effect, of this war will be on the
map of the world, but not one hint is
to how it will affect the price of Turk
ish rugs!”
Her foolest friend agreed that The
Press was run by a lot of men who
don't know anything, anyhow.
"Why," continued Mrs. Appleton. in a ;
sputter of indignation al the ignorance !
of The Press’, "one day I called up a
I.ending Newspaper and asked the pop- <
illation of Kalamazoo before the Civil!
war, and do you know, the man who:
answered the telephone' couldn't tell me? !
"And. just to test them, I called up
five Beading Newspapers, and not one |
could tell off-hand in what year tin :
wife of President Madison died!"

Mrs. Lysander John continued in :
more sympathetic tone. "1 am so sorry
for Mrs. T ift. I know what, it is to I

for the next tenant."
Then she expressed her deepest sym- I
pathy for Emperor Wilhelm, who was j
Jumped in the Reichstag, "though." she
complained, "The Press is so ignorant
it doesn't say if the Reichstag is a hotel,
or part of his anatomy. One must

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
GIVE HIM TIME.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty, and dearly I n lOV91 OV9
with a young man. and, oh, I love
him so much that I would give inj
life for him. But I don’t know if
he loves me. I was out with him a
few times, and he took me home
from a dance. Now, do you think
he loves me? And, oh. I am s «
happy when in his company'
Whenever we meet he always stuns
to talk to me. He is so dear to me
I just can t forget him. What shali
I do to find out if ne really love«
me? Oh, please help me.
dolly dimples.
He shows every- symptom, but yon
must give such a serious ailment as
love time to develop.
Don’t let him see that you would give
your life for him. On the contrarj let
him see that you are not sure you
would give more than an occasional
evening. Be a little more indifferent
than the tone of your letter would In
dicate.
DON'T TELL HIM NOW,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Some time ago I met a young
man of whom I have grown very
fond. He cares for me dearlj- and
hopes to make me his wife soma
day. He works both day and night,
as he supports his mother and is
trying to gather something for the
future.
Last week I gave him an invita
tion to a party. I also asked hint
to go with me (as he would not go
alone, being a stranger). He gava
■ me hU reason why he could not go,
which I know was the truth, as his
mother will not allow him to go
with a Gentile girl. The next time
we met he asked me who I went
with, and he seemed to be disap
pointed when I told him. Tha very
same day he tried to put him arms
about me before other boys (whom
we both know very well), to which
I objected. He grew very' angry
and said if I really cared for him I
would not mind him doing such a
little thing before anyone, not alone
close friends. I have never told
him I cared for him.
A BROKEN-HEARTED GIRL
Marriage with him seems hop"lose
for two reasons. It will be a long time
j before he earns enough to support a
wife, and the difference in religion does
hot promise happiness.
He shows a proprietary air toward
you when no engagement exists. He
is selfish. Try to forget him, my df-at.
If his mother Trill not let him take yon
to a party, do you realize how much
more serious her objections will be
when he takes you for a wife?
