“Don’t bo talking to me about them

as to the rate at which doctors are to

the singular way In which Welsh mon

court of the Gwynedd kings the phy

officials, and bls 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. But tor cur

fee of to and his maintenance during

A Crochet Woolen Motor Cap Trimmed With Pheasant Feathers.
“The Case of Oscar Slater”
By S/r Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes in Rea) Life
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT
There „re still one or two singular
points which invite comment. tine of
these, which I have incidentally men
tioned, is that neither th* matchbox, nor
th* 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 T>r. Adams,
who was the first medical man to view
the hotly, is worthy of attention. He
considered that the wounds might have
been Inflicted by prods downward from
tjje leg of a chair, in which case the
seat of the chair would preserve the
clothes, and, to some extent, the hands of
the murderer from bloodstains. The con
dition of one of the chairs 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
ticular 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
bratn would represent a thrust from the
other end.
Falling a jimmy, 1 should choose a ham
mer, but a very different one from the
toy thing from a hajf crown card of tools
which was exhibited in court. Surely,
common sense would say that such an in
strument could burst an eyeball, but could
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
tn the handle, long and strong in the
head, with a broad fork behind. Hut how
such a weapon could be used without the
user bearing marks of it Is more than I
can say.
It has never been explained why a
rug was laid over the murdered woman.
The murderer, as his conduct before Um
ble and Adams showed, was a perfectly
cool person. It Is at least possible that
ho used the rug ns a shield between him
and his victim while he battered her with
his weapon. His clothes. If not his hands,
would In this way be preserved.
f have said that it Is of the first im
portance to trace who knew so the exist
ence of the Jewels, since this might great
ly help the solution of the problem.
In connection with this there is a paa
agc tn Lumble's evidence lr. New York

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
GIVE HIM TIME.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am twenty, and dearly i n ] ove
with a young man. and, oh, I l ove
him so much that I would give In
life for him. But I don't know if
lie loves me. I was out with him a
few times, and he took me horn.
. from a dance. Now, do you think
he loves me? And, oh, I am w
happy when in his company!
Whenever we meet he always st.*ni
to talk to me. He is so dear tn m.
I just can't forget him. What shall
I do to find out if ne really loves
me? Oh, please help me.
DOLLY dimples.
He shows every symptom, but you
must give such a serious ailment a**
love time to develop.
Don’t let him see that you would give
your life for him. On the contrary >t
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
dlcate.
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 tne dearly and
hopes to make me his wife some
day. He works both day and night,
as he supports his mother and G
trying to gather something for the
future.

tion to a party. I also asked him
I*> go with me (as he would nut g*>
I alone, being a stranger). He gav.
I me his reason why he could not g* .
I 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. The \e v

about me before other boys (whom
w.* both know very well), to ’vhl*-h

and said if 1 really cared for hl n I
would not mind him doing stieh a
little thing before anyone, not alone

Marriage with him seems h**;.i •*.«•
for two p-easons. It will be a long tlm,

wife, and the difference in religion dot**
not promise happiness.
He shows a proprietary air toward
you when no engagement exists. H**
is selfish. Try to forget him, my dear,
If his mother .ill not let him take you
to a party, cj you realize how much
more serious her objections will be
when he takes you for a wife?
