Now that there is so much discussion as to the rate at which doctors are to paid for their services under the in surance net. It I* 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 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 ing any of whsi were . ailed "the three dangerous wounds" he waa granted a fee of to and his maintenance during lie cure, besides the blood-stained gar • nents.

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.

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. week I gave him an invita 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 . .ime day he tried to put him arms about me before other boys (whom w.* both know very well), to ’vhl*-h 1 objected.
