The scent is strong and unmistakable and clings ineradi ; cably to a garment that has been 1 worn even for a few moments where the remedy is used. Mrs. iiohbio’s children had the whoop ing cough; she was using the remedy the day the murderer stopped at her little shop and, threatening her with this very dirk, forced her to deliver the message he dictated to the police station. ‘ ‘ It was a clever ruse and would have remained undetected but for the quick witted youth who noticed the odor and remembered it when whooping cough was mentioned.” A string ot lies, sneered Hoyt, “made up by the notorious street gamin who glories in his jobriquet of liar!” Still unheeding, Stone went nn: “In search for a motive for the murder of Howland Trow i bridge by Leslie Hoyt, I exam ined the will of the deceased, and discovered what I am prepared to prove is, in part, a forgery. The instrument was duly drawn up by Judge Hoyt, as lawyer for the testator. It was duly wit nessed, and after—” Fleming Stone paused and looked fixedly at Iloyt, and tho latter at last quailed before that accusing glnneo. “iLnd after, at his leisure, the lawyer inserted on the same type writer, and with greatest care, the words, ‘and herself become the wife of Leslie Hoyt.’ This clause was not written or dictat ed by Mr. Trowbridge. It was inserted after his death by1 his 'awyer. ” “You can’t prove that!” cried Hoyt, springing to his feet. “I can easily prove it,”..de clared Stone. “It is written on s new ribbon known to have been put into the typewriter the after coo the murder took place. And, too, it is of slightly different slant and level from the rest. Of course, it was only by microsco pic investigation I discovered these facts, but they are most clearly proven.” “Gee! lie’s goin’ to brash it out!” exclaimed FibSy under his breath a* lloyt rose with veu genifee in his eye. Hut. the judge waved him buck as Stone proceeded. “I understand Mr. Hoyt claims as an tftibi that lie wai in Phila delphia that day.” “I was,” declared the accused. “I brought home an afternoon paper from that, city.” “The paper was from that city, but you bought it at a New York news stand to prove your case should it ever he necessary.” “What rubbish! I wrote Mr. Trowbridge the day before that l was going. The letter was found in his pocket.” “Where you placed it yourself after the murder!” shot back '■none. “Ridiculous! I also tele graphed to—” “The telegram was faked. I have examined it myself, and it Is typewritten in imitation of the | usual form, hut it never went | through the company’s hands. I That, too, you placed in Mr. : Rowland’s pocket after—after ! the cane killed him! You re j member, Mr. District Attorney, a lead pencil was found on the ground at the scene of the crime. ( am prepared to prove this pen cil the property of Judge Hoyt. And this is my proof: Until the day of the crime Judge Hoyt had been in the habit of using a pat ent sharpener to sharpen his lead pencils. I have learned from Judge Hoyt’s Japanese servant that the day after the murder Judge Hoyt discarded that sharpener, and used a knife. This was to do away with any suspi cion that might rest on him as owner of the pencil. On that very date lie resharpened with a penknife all his pencils, and thus cleverly turned the tide of sus picion.” “Also a clever feat, the finding of this out,” murmured Whiting. “The credit for that is due to thfe lad, McGuire,” said Stone. “At the time of the inquest the B——— Mwwaw—» boy noticed the pencil particu larly; anti afterward, telling me of his surmises, I looked up the matter and found the proof. Again, the man 1 accuse se cured a handkerchief from Sery ker's room and carried it away for the purpose of incriminating the butler. It seems, owing to a past secret., the butler was in the power of Judge Hoyt. How ever, circumstances led suspicion in other directions. The telltale handkerchief seemed to point first to the Swedish couple. La ter it. seemed to point to the but ler, Stryker, and, later still, was used as a point against Kane Lan don. But it is really the curse that has come home to roost where it belongs, as a condemna tion of Judge Leslie Hoyt. This arch criminal planned so cleverly and carried out his schemes so carefully that he overreached himself. His marvelously com plete alibi is too perfect. His di abolical skill in arranging Ilia spurious letter, telegram, news paper, and finally a picture post card which I shall tell of shortly, outdid itself, and his excessive care was his own undoing. But, in addition to these points, L ask you to hear the tale of young Mc Guire, who has suffered at the hands of Judge Hoyt not only in justice and inconvenience, but at tempted crime.” Fibsy was allowed to tell lus own story, and half shy, half frightened, he began. “At first Judge lioyi he ed me to go *o woik in Philadpl phia, an' 1 thought it was queer but t went, an’ I discovered in was payin’ me wages himself That was funny, an’ it was wha gimme the foist steer. So I cam< back to New York an’ 1 staye* here, makin’ b’lieve me aunt . needed me. So then one day j Judge Hoyt lie took me to di** ' er at. a restaurant, sayin ’ lie to* a notion to me an’ wanted me learn to be a gent’man. We when we had coffee he girnme little cup foist, an’ then he p some sugar in it fer me. Well, seen the sugar was diffrunt—” , “llififaront frnru what?’’ utlri Whiting. “From the rest’rant saga That was smooth an’ oblong, a what the judge put into my ei was square lumps, an’ rough on the sides. So I s’picioned siiin pin was wrong, an' l didn’t drink that coffee. I left it on the table. An’ soon’s T reached the street I ran back fer me paper, what I'd left on poipose, an’ 1 told the waiter to save that cup o’ coffee fer evidence in a moider trial. An’ lie did, an’ Mr. Stone he’s had it examined, in’ it’s full of —of what, Mr. Stone?’’ “Of nitroglycerine,’’ asserted Stone gravely. “Ifes, sir, Judge Hoyt tried to kill me, he did.” Fibsy’s big blue eyes were dark with the thrill of his subject rather than fear now. He was absorbed in his recital, and went steadily on, his manner and tone, unlettered and unschooled though they were, carrying absolute convic tion of truth. vv lien 1 seen umi queer sugar goiu’ in me cup me thinker woiked like lightnin’ and I knew it meant poison. So I thunk quickly how to nail the job onto him, and I did. Then soon after that I was kidnaped. A tele phone call told me Mr. Stone was waitin’ fer me in a taxi, and when I flew meself to it, it wasn’t Mr. Stone at all, but a Japanese feller, name o’ Kite. He took me to a swell house and locked me in. If I tried any funny business he gave me a joo jitsy ’til I quit tryin'. Well, I didn’t know whose house it was, but I’ve senee found out it was Judge Hoyt ’s. He lived with his sister, an’ she’s away, but the Jap told me it was another man’s house. Well, in that house I found one o’ them postcard pic tures of Judge Hoyt in the Phila delphia station. I didn't think even then 'bout, me bein’ in his house; I just thought maybe it was a friend o’ hisen. But when I ’zaruined that picture I saw the judge had pertended it was took a diff’runt date from what it was. Now, I thought he kinds lugged it in by the ears when he showed it to me anyway, an’ I began to s’piciou he meant to make me think sumpin’ what wasn’t so. ’Course that could only be that he wasn’t in Phil' delphia when he said he was. And ho wasn't.” Fibsy’s quietly simple state ments were more dramatic than if he.had been more emphatic, ami the audience listened, spell bound. Judge Iloyt sat like a graven image. lie neither denied nor admitted anything, one might, al most say he looked slightly nttiused, but a trembling hand and a constant gnawing of his quivering lip told the truth to a close observer. “And you were held a prisoner in Judge ilovt’s house how log?” ‘ Nearly a week. ’ “And then?” “The I jumped down a clothes chute and rati out the (To lie Continued Next Week) IS IRELAND’S NEW GOVERNOR GENERAL -<^6.

From the Detroit Free Press. John Doc, Jane Doe, Richard Roe, are ictltlous names which even today are ised frequently In legal proceedings, al nost invariably referring to the defend ,nt who Is known by character and oc upation but not by his right name. Warrants for John Doe are issued al nost every day, but in old times both She plaintiff and defendant were fre quently bo designated and this happened most often when the authorities brought n5«in.t ovMinihu In a oaea where, as we call It today, the "people" were the prosecuting party. The origin of the expression harks back to the days when violations of the game and forest law's were far more frequent than today, when, particularly In Kngland, the small man owned noth ing of the soil while the fields, woods and the meadows surrounding his home stead were the property of the ^feudal lord. Venison was a sacred possession in the eyes of the law and venison was the most convenient loot of the poacher. Thus John Doe and Jane Doe were ac cused of stealing the protected meat and It Is presumed that Richard Roe was usually the fellow who robbed the stream of Its finny denizens, which were the property of the lord or lady on whose lands poor Richard had hts hut. The German Communist Cry. Manifesto of German Communist Party. Nothing can help the German working class but the immediate fight for the overthrow of the German bourgeois government. the revolution has produced only a con tinual sinking Into the slough—the con sequence of the burdening of German production with tho cost of maintain ing the German exploiters. From now onward your shoulders are to bear the further burden of the maintenance of the bankrupt entente bourgeoisie. Workmen and comrades! You cannot endure this. If you do not wish to drop dead in the gutter from this double burden you must begin a fight for existence. • * * Your fate Is not being decided-In London. It is being de cided in Germany by you! The choice is yours. On your decision In this hour It depends whether we are to sink further in the capitalist abyss or go forward and upward to the com munist regime. • * • Demonstrate on Sunday; rouse the sluggards? March against ybur oppres sors! Against the double yoke of German and foreign exploiters? For construc tive communism! Away w'lth all bour geois governments! For the rule of geois governments!

A London publishing house lias Just got out a war book by Sir William Orpen. Orpen spent nearly two years In France as official British painter, and styired with Augustus John the honor of doing the peace conference for posterlty Slr William didn't like the great per sonalities of the peace conference. They were very small personalities to him ir comparison with the fighting men. There wras one exception—our own Col House. Sir William found him "a charming man; very calm, very sure of himself, yet modest." He sat for Sir William and asked the artist whether he had painted President Wilson. "No, replied Sir William. "He then asked me whether I was going to do so and I replied: "No," that the president had refusr-d ir 'Ut. W-\said ‘Refused?’ "I said "Yes; he hasn't got the time. " ‘What damned rot?' said the colonel; ‘he’s got a damned sight more time than I have. What day would you like him to come to sit?' ' "1 named a day, and the colonel said: •Right? I'll see that he's here,' and he did." Nearly 3.500 men of Minnesota made the supreme sacrifice on land and sea In tht world war. according to records cutpplled In the war records commission.

The recent drought In Switzerland has lowered the lakes so much that archaeologists are having a great op portunity to examine the old lacus trine or pile dwellings which date back to the stone age. Old pottery is be ing discovered In two lake dwellings revealed on the shores of Lake Neu chntel, says a cablegram to the New York Times, and hundreds of piles in perfect preservation and on which these dwellings originally rested are now clearly visible. Many persons have volunteered help for excavating the remains of these ancient dwellings, which, according to Doctor Kellerchlef, the Swiss authority on the subject, censed to be Inhabited about the first century of the Christian era. Numer our boats, which apparently were wrecked and sunk In past times, are now visible. Cement-Coated Nails. Approximately one-tenth of the wire nails manufactured are now cement coated, according to II. A. Knight, who writes on the subject to the Iron Age. The nails are coated by shaking them up In a hot tumbling barrel with a compound consisting mainly of resin, from which they Issue with a thin, tough coating which greatly increases their bolding power. The friction of the driven nail -with the wood melts the. cement and forms a glue, which cakes fast the nail.—Literary Digest.

Rend of the lives of three-quarters of the successful men, and you will see that they started poor and became successful without “pull.” If that is being done today, as it is, you can do It. But you can’t do It by souring on the world. You have got to want to succeed, and want to succeed more than anything else. If you don’t want to succeed enough, you will not suc ceed. But it won’t be unfairness and favoritism in the world that holds you back. It will be your unfairness nnd favoritism to yourself.—John Blake in Chicngo Daily News.
