IMMY BARTON'S knowledge of
J Richard Conley, plus my Infor
mation gained from Madge and
Margaret, gave. us a fairly complete
story and a very definite feeling that
we understood the young lawyer with
all his lovable weakness. But there
was Just one gap in our evidence—one |
gap which neither of us could bridge.
And that was later to prove a yawn
ing abyss before the feet of one or
two greatly surprised people,
As we made our return trip to Bluc
Cove Jimmy told me his part of the
story. Directly we suspected that
Conley was the man {n the case. Jim
my had gone down to the law offices
of Conley & Conley and had sent in
his card requesting an interview.
Later that redoubtable youth per
anaded me to involve myself in the
situation. Our position was desper
ate—and we fought fire with fire, as
you shall see,
“The Interview” was readily grant
ed, but surprise swung to instant dis
may when Jimmy fairly hurled a
question at the younger man, “Do you
know Madge Minturn?™
Of course, young Conley swore he
had never heard of the girl—but as
tute Jimmy noticed that the match
with which the lawyer was striking
his cigarette had flickered out very
suddenly—but not before it burned
the trembling fingers which were
holding it.
A tiny bit of evidence that—but
Jimmy, the sleuth, knew it was worth
following up, and when half an hour
later Richard Conley burried into the
Grand Central and embarked on a
train for Blue Cove, Jimmy was close
on his tracks.
Jimmy Follows Conley.
Conley took the second of the town's
supply of ramshackle cabs, and Jim
my had to purchase an even more
ramshackie bicycle. As you know, he
passed me on my return to the sta
tion—but, as you do not know, he
turned to wave a frarewell and blow
me an audacious kiss.
“That kiss didn't get me much, Miss
Beatrice,” laughed Jimmy. *“Nothing
but an encounter with a stone and a
tumble which smashed none of my
ribs, but all of the bicycle's vital or
gans. I had to go on foot after that,
and by the time I caught up with my
quarry he was coming out of the
woods, and I concluded that he had
finished his interview with the girl—
but I was in time to see another in
terview begin.
“Conley bumped into a queer look
ing chap. Say, do yeu know he looked
like some of those mental defectives
cn were working over this winter.
orse than that, he seemed to me. I
found out later that he's the village
character—some of them call him
looney and some of them say he's a
hermit, but all the brave inhabitants
of Blue Cove seem a little afraid of
him."
Jimmy had discovered this much
and that the chap's name was Harry

- fi “Cuticurs, Dept. T,
that boded very little good for your
[tflond. Miss Madge Minturn!”
I remember my glimpse of the
man’s sullen, evil face, with its loose
lipped animal outh and its furtive
eyes. 1 remembered, too, how weak
Richard Conley's good-looking face
had seemed to me as 1 glimpsed it in
passing ——, and sudden fear took
hold of my heart. |
Mrs. Woods had not seen Madge
for all the long hours during which 1
had gone to New York, interviewed
Margaret Payne, and made the trip
back to The Journal office.
Agaln my terrified fancy leaped to
the portentous question, “Where was
Madge Minturn?” And hard upon it
followed a second question of equal
portent, “What affairs could Richard
Conley and Harry Wilkins, the village
ne'sr-do-well, be discussing 7
“Do you remember just where Con
ley and Wilkins went?” I asked,
“Yes, and that's where we're bound.
You're going to see a tumble-down
little cabin which houses an absolute
renegade. And I think there'll be a
rather startling denouement and a
crusher for the plans of Wilkins, Con
ley and Company.” And more than
that, Jimmy refused to say, though
I begged him to tell me exactly what
he did expect to dlscover when we got
to Wilkins' cabin.
In a lonely nook of the woods we
came upon the cabin. It had a brood
ing, sullen look strangely ke the ex
pression on the face of its master.
Jimmy hi 4me behind a clump of
bushes and hurried forward alone.
For a minute I permitted him to man
age the situation to suit himself.
Suddenly a sound came to my ears.
It was a woman's shriek—a call for
help in & voloe which sounded defi
nitely familiar,
Automatically I rushed out from
hiding and hurried toward the cabin.
As Jimmy turned the knob of the door
there was one wild, agonized scream,
which became suddenly muffled and
was followed b a thick pall of silence
——sllence unbroken and sinister—si
lence Suggesting tragedy of the most
evil sort.
One moment the woods had been
alive and thrilling with agonized
sound; the next moment they wereo
stil—and dead,
I stumbled forwarq with hot tears
Smarting in my eyes and my heart.
1 felt that terrible harm had come to
the girl who had written to me with
such pathetic pleading that I help
;hcr &€et a name for a baby,
A Fearful Struggle,
While Jimmy and I were going
about things in a methodical, plodding
way, forces of which we knew nothing
might have been at work, and Madge
Minturn had perhaps suffered greater
evil than that from which he had
begged me to free her, -
As these thoughts raced Across my
brain 1 was forcing my body to race,
too, and a second later | followed Jim
my across the threshold of the cabin. |
A second more and 1 was the wit
ness of a wild struggle, Wilkins WAS
fighting with the physical strength a
man whose mental ability is far below
par often displays. It took all Jimmy's
sclence to master him. But at last hol
conquered, and Wilking became uttor»l
ly cowed—subdued ana frightened—
and entirely respectful in his attitude
toward the man who had been able to
galn physical control of him. |
In a corner of the cabin crouched
Madge, sobbing violently that we had
come just in time, and that if we had
been & minute later there would have
been nothing for her to do but kil
herself, |
“But my babz. Miss Fairfax-—-make
him find my baby. It anything's hap-i
g@ned to little Richard, I'm going to
il myself. I couldn't bear It——noth-‘
ing matters but auut baby. If he's
only alive and wel. everything will be
all right,
“Don’t. you know where your baby
Is, Madge *" 1 asked a little severely,
“No—he stole my baby-—Willlams
did. Oh, Miss Fairfax, do you think
he's done him any harm?"
“Wilkins,” sald Jimmy sternly, “it
will be just as well for you if noth
ing unpleasant has happened to Httle
Richard—first, we'l! find him, and then
you'll give a lttle explanation of your
performance this afternoon. 1 think
I can guess just about what it has
been, but I won't do any Kuessing.
You'll talk and I'll take down In writ
ing every word you say. Now, march
and be quick about it.”
The frightened creature obeyved al
most automatically., Sheer terror had
possession of him,
“1 left the kid ‘n the barn,” sald he.
- Xnm he's all right.”
& we passed out of the door he
lunged out vind'ctively and kicked a
amh which came fawning across M’]
path,
And as Madge watched him the
Agonized fear on her face showed that
she wondered what sufferings this evi)
Creature might have made her inno
cent little baby endure, 1

'Picked Up Here and There
The Humble Shawl
The working women ana girls of Lan
cashire and Yorkshire regard the shaw!
A 8 A necessity, and especially is this
the case In the colllery districts. A
writer In The Miligate Monthly says:
“Domestic duties, performed in varying
temperatures, on washing days and
cleaning days, in the house or about the
yard, are rendered safe under the pro
tection of & shawl. The mill girl could
scarcely get on without it. It shields
her between the mill and home, winter
and summer, in snow or rain. It is eas
ily donned and doffed. It is the handi
est of all articles of wearing apparel,
and, as made in England today, {s mod.
erate in cost. A warm, soft shawl
would save many a racking cough and
stave off inciplent pulmonary troubles.
It is a tried and proved sanitarium, and
is growing in patronage and popularity
with ladies of the upper middle classes.”
The Monk's Wit.
An excellent story is recorded of a
monk named Mainus, who, In the reign
of Francis I of France, owed his first
advancement to a clever retort. The
r"' was very fond of the game of ten
is, and was playing a match one day
with Malnus. The monk finally ended
the hard-fought game with a brilllant
stroke.
The king was somewhat out of humor
on account of his defeat.
“Remarkable!” he exclaimed sarcas
tically, “To think that such a stroke
should be made by a mere monk!"
“But, sire,” replied the monk, who
was as quick with his wit as he was
with his racquet, “it 18 your Majesty's
own fault that the stroke wag not made
b’A“m::t“:i;c afterward Mainus re
ceived his a

A Primitive Community,
Described as “very near being an
earthly paradise for the poor,” the Mex
lcan Island of Cozumel, off Yucatan, is
Inhabited mainly by the poor, satisfied
to lead a hand-to-mouth existence. To
gain a livelihood requires the minimum
of effort. The natives Pay no rent be
cause they are able to squat on a bulld.
Ing site with all necessary material at
hand from which to construct a cottage;
they have free fuel, free fodder for cows,
food for hogs and fowls: small game and
wild fruits are plentiful, fish for the
trouble of throwing in a line, turtles for
the taking, to say nothing of turtles’
eEEs. And to provide such things as
the island does not produeo—-c!othlng.l
for Instance—a day's work is sufficlent.
Dcnlopmt of Steamships,
In 1543 Blasco de Garay, a sea cap
tain of Spain, exhibited in the harbor of
Barcelona, In the presence of Charles
the Fifth and his court, a steamboat ca- |
pable of a speed of three miles an hour. }
For nearly two hundred years Blasco de
Garay's invention was lost sight of, and
not till the end of the eighteenth cen
tury was the subject taken up again.
European sclentists became interested,
and the result was the construction of
A steamboat on the River Saone by
Marquis de Jouffrey in 1750. In 1788
Patrick Miller, of Scotland, built a
steamboat. It succeedea s 0 well that a
larger one was bullt in 1789, when seven
miles an hour were made. Eventually
Robert Fulton bullt the Clermont, which
made its trial trip In 1808,

I“G OOD manners are the pleas
ant way of doing things,”
says an aphorism well worth
rnotln(.
~ In the rugged democracy on which
& good many people pride themselves,
charm of manner has lost its ancient
prestige. We have a Bohemian way of
announcing that conventionality doesn't
count with us, that we act as wa feel,
that we believe in simplicity and nat
uralness. That all sounds rather fine
and independent. But it won't do.
We have all to adapt ourselves to
an ever-varying stream of clircum
stances. And If we learn to adapt our
selves gracefully we shall at once save
ourselves friction, annoyance and an un
necessarily awkward appearance.
“Don't be affected,” says many a
well-msaning adult to an Impressionable
child. And the child who was probably
only trying to be graclous and pleasant
and to meet its eiders with a little al
rence tness suyly won-
