THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1914. PLATTSMOUTO SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. rAGE 7. .7 f AyiePetktive "'" Cofjrht. 1913. by 22- tiejketh Prichard PROLOGUE. One of the most" interesting characters in fiction, November Joe, well deserves to take his place in the hall of fame along side his more famous prototype, Sherlock Holmes. In the woods Sherlock Holmes no doubt would have been of little value in ferret ing out criminals, because wood craft was not in his line. In the city, too, November Joe would not have compared in merit of achievement with Holmes, but in J I. .. -.-..J lilt; ivuuus t v.i y n;; iihi i stone and bit' o f moss where it has been in contact with human beings or animals tells its story to the keen eyes and analytical mind of November Joe. CHAPTER I. November Joe. ST happened that t!je early au tumn of IIX'S 1, James Qu;rit( h if (Juebec, wont dn.n lo Montreal. I was at tlio thin; much cnajied In nn important business transaction, which afte r Ions ami comp lien ted nego tiations appeared to be iir:iriiitr a suc cessful issue. A few elays ::fter my ar rival I dined with ir Andrew McLer rick, the celebrated rerve specialist sind lecturer at McCill university, who Lad been for many years my friend. On similar occasions I hart usually remained for half an Lour after the other puests hal departed, so that when he turned from saying his last goedby Sir Andrew found tne choosing a fresh cigar. "I cannot call to mind. Jnmef, that I Invited you to help yourself io another smoke." he said. 1 laughed. "Don't mention it, Andrew; ! am ac customed to your -manners. All the same" lie watched me licht up. "Mrke the most of it. for it will be some time be fore yon enjoy another." "I have feit your searching eye upr me more tuanence tonight. What is it V" "My dear James, the new minim; amalgamation the papers are so full of, and of which I understand that you .u-e the lending spirit, will n doubt be a great success, yet is it really worth the sacrifice of jour excellent health?" "But I feel quite as usual." "Sleep as much as usual V" . "Ferhars not," I admitted unwill ingly. "Appetite as good as usual?" "Oh, I don't know." "Tush, man, James! Stand up." Thereupon be began an examination "Which merjred into a lecture, and t!i lecture in due course ended in my de cision to take a vacation immediately a long vacation, to be spent beyond reach of letter or telegram in the woods. "That's right! That's right!" com mented Sir Andrew. "What do the Lorns of that fellow with the 1U; hell, which you Lave hanging in your ollice. measure''" "Fifty-nine inches." "Then go and shoot one with n spread-of sixty." "I believe you are right." said 1. "but the worst of it is that my guide, N'e! Tribonet, is laid up with rheumatism and will certain!' not be tit to go with me Just now. Indeed, I doubt if h" will ever be much good in the woods again." "But what if I can recommend yo'i a new man?" "Thanks, but I have had the trouble of training Noel already." "I can guarantee that you will not rind it necessary to train November Joe." "November Joe?" "Yes, do you know h'.ui?'' "Curiously euough. I do. lie was with me as dishwasher "when I was tip with Tom Todd some years ago in Maine, lie was a boy then. Once w hen we were on the march and were overtaken by a very bad snowstorm. Todd and the loy had a difference of opinion as to the direction we fahould take." "And Joe was right?" "He was," said I. "Todd didn't like it at all." "Tom Todd had quite a reputation, hadn't he? Naturally he would uot like belnir put right by a b,oy. Well, that must be ten years ao, and Joe's twentj'-fonr now." "And a good man in the woods, you "None better. The most capable on this continent. I verily believe. If Joe is free acd can go with you. you will get your moose with the sixty , inch horns. I understand that be has en tered into some sort of contract with the provincial police." "With the police?" I repeated. "Yes. lie is to hc!p them in such cases as n;ay lie within t lie scope of ht-s special experience. He is. indeed, the very last person I should like to have upon my trail had I eotninlttol i murder. He is a most skilled and minute observer, and yon must not for get that the speciality of ; Sherlock Holmes is the everyday routine of a woodsman. observation and deduc tion are part .n.d parcel of his daily existence. lie literally reads as lie runs. The t'oor f the forest Is his page. And when a crime is committed in the woods these facts are very for tunate. There nature is the criminal's best ally. She seens to league herself with him in many ways. Often she delays the discovery of his ill doing; she covers his detds with her leaves and her snow; his track she wa.-hc away with her rain, and more than all she provides him with a vast area of refuge, over which she sends the appointed horrs of darkness, during which ho can travel fast and far." "All tkintrs considered, it is surpris ing that .so many woods crimes are brought home to their perpetrators." "Thorp you are forgetting one very important point. 1 have been present at many trials and the most dangerous witnesses that I have ever seen have been men of the November Joe type that is, practically illiterate woodsmen. Their evidence has a quality of terrible simplicity. They give minute but un answerable details. All their experi ences are first hand. They bring for ward naked facts with sledge hammer results. Where a town bred man would ?"o rr V.v.rg hri n srru-s i f h!nr red footsteps in the morning dew, an ordinary dweller in the woods could learn something from them, but No vember Joe ran often reconstruct the man who made them, sometimes in a manner and with an exactitude that has struck me as little short of mar velous." "I see he has interested you," said I, half smiling. "I confess he has. Looked at from a scientic standpoint I consider him the perfect product of his environ ment. There -are few things I would enjoy more thnn to watch November using Ms experience and bis super normal senses in the unraveling of pome crime of the woods." I threw the stump of my cigar into the fire. "You have persuaded me." I said. "1 will try to make a start by the end of the week. Where is Joe to Le found?" "As I i that, 1 believe you might get Into touch with him rt Harding's farm. Silent Water, Bcanee.'' "I'll write to him." "Not much use. He only calls for letters when be foels inclined." "Then I'll go to Harding's and ar range the trip by word of mouth." "That would certainly be the best plan, and, anyhow, the sooner you pet into the woods the better. Besides, you will be more likely to secure Joe by doing that, as he is inclined to be shy of strangers." I rose and shook hands -with my Lost. "Itemembrr me to Joe," aid he. "1 like that young man. Goodby and good luck." Along the borders of Beauce and Maine, between the. United States and Canada, lies a land of spruce forest and of hardwood ridges. Here little farms stand on the edge of the big timber, and far beyond them, in the depths of the woodlands, lie lumber camps and the wide Hung paths of trappers a:id pelt hunters. I left the cars at Silent Water and rode off at once to Harding's, the house of the Beauce farmer where I meant to put up for the night. Mrs. Hard ing received me genially and placed an excellent supper before tne. While I was eating it a squall blew up with the fall of darkness, and I was glad enough to Cud myself iu safe shelter. Outside the Avind was swishing among the pines which inclosed the farmhouse, when iuside the telephoue bell rang, which connected us with St. George, forty miles distant, rang suddenly and incongruously high above the clamor of the forest noises. Mrs. Harding took up the receiver, and this is what I heard. "My husband won't be heme tonight; he's gone iuto St. George. No, I have I no one to send. But how can I? There is no one here but me and the chil dren. Well, there's Mr. Quaritch, a sport, staying the night. No, I couldn't ask him." "Why not?" I inquired. Mrs. Harding shook her head as she stood still holding the receiver. She was a matron of distinct comeliness, and she cooked amazingly well. "Yon can ask me anything," I urged. "They want some one to carry a message to November Joe." she ex plained. "It's the provincial police oa the phone" "II 1 go." "Joe made me promise not to send any sports after him." she said doubt fully. "They all want him now he's famous." "But November Joe is rather a friend of mine. I hunted with him years ago when he lived on the Montmorency." "Is that so?" Her face relaxed a little. "Well, perhaps" she conceded. "Of course I'll carry the message." "It's quite a way to his place. No vember doesn't care about strangers. He's a solitary man. You mast follow the tote road you were on today fif teen miles, turn west at the deserted lumber camp, cross Charley's brook. Joe lives about two acres up the far bank." She lifted the receiver. "Shall I say you'll go?" "By all means." A few seconds later I was at the phone takin-z my instructions. It ap peared that the speaker was the chief of police in Quebec, who was of course well known to me. I will let you have his own words. "Very good of yon. I'm sure. Mr. Qua ritch. Yes. we want November Joe to be told that a man named Henry Lyon has been shot in bis camp down at Big Tree portage, on Depot river. The news came in just now. telephoned through hy a lumberjack who for.nd the body. Tell Joe, please, success means !." to him. Yes. that's all. Much obliged. Yes. the sooner he hears about it the better. Good night." ' I hung up the receiver, turned to Mrs. Harding and told her the facts. "So November is connected with po lice work ikw?" Iidn't you read in the newspapers about the 'lng Island Murder?'" I remembered the case at once: it had been a nine days' wonder of head line and comment, and now I won dered how it was that I missed the mention of Joe's name. "November was the man who put to gethcr that puzzle for them down in "And placed an excellent supper before me." New York," Mrs. Harding went on. "Ever si;;'o they have been wanting him to work for them. They offered him SJOO a month to go to New York and take on detective jobs there." "Ah, and what had he to say to that?" "Said he wouldn't leave the woods for a thousand." f "Well?" "They offered him the thousand." "With what result?" "He started out in the night for his shack. Came iu here as he passed ami told my husband he would rather be tied to a tree iu the woods for the rest of his life than live on Fifth avenue. J The lumberjacks and the guides here abouts think a lot of him. Now you'd best saddle Laura that's the big. gray mare you'll rind in the near stall of the stable and go right off. There'll be a moon when the storm blows itself out." By the help of the lantern I .saddled Laura and stumbled away into the dark and the wind. Tor the chief part of the way I had to lead the marc, and the dawn was gray in the open places before I leached the deserted lumber can; p. aud all the time my mind was busy with memories of November. Boy though he had been when I knew him. his personality Lad impressed itself upon me by reason ofa certain ade quate quietness with which he fulfilled the duties, many ami disagreeable, which bearded old Tom Todd took a delight in laying upon his young shoul ders. I remembered, too. the expression of humor and mocking tolerance which used to Invade the boy's face whenever '!Hl ir old Tom was overtaken by one of hU habitual fits of talking big. Once when Tom spoke by the camp fire of some lake to which he desired to guide me and of which he stated that the shores Lad never been trodden by white man's foot Joe bad to cover his mouth with his hand. When we were nlone, Todd having departed to make some necessary repairs to the canoe,'! asked Joe what he meant by laughing at his elders. "I suppose a boy's foot ain't a man's anyways." remarked Joe innocently, and more he would not say. The sun was showing over the tree tops when I drew' rein by the door of the shack, acd at the same moment came in view of the slim but power ful figure of a young man who was busy rolling some gear into a pack. He raised himself and, just as 1 was about to speak, drawled out: "My! Mr. Quaritch. you! Who'd a' thought it?" The young woodsman came forward with a lazy stride und pave me wel come with a curious gentleness that was one of his characteristic, but which left me in doubt as to its geni ality. I feel that I shall never be able to describe November. Suffice it to say that the loose knit boy I remembered had developed into one of the finest specimens of manhood that ever grew up among the balsam trees; near six feet tall, lithe and powerful, with a neck like a column and a straight fea tured face, the sheer good looks of this son of the woods were disturbing. He was clearly also not only the product but the master of his environment "Well. well. Mr. Quaritch, many's the time I've been thinking of the days we had with old Tom way up on the Koustik." "They were good days, Joe, weren't they?" "Sure. sure, they were!" "I hope we shall have some more together." "If it's hunting you want, I'm glad you're here, Mr. Quaritch. There's a tine buck using around by Widdeaey pond. Maybe we will get a look at him come sunset, for Le 'most always ! moves out of the thick bush about : dark." Then humor lit a spark in his splendid gray eyes as he looked , up at me. "But we'll hare a cup o' tea first." ' November Joe's (by the way, I ought to mention that bis birth in the month of November had given him his name), as I say, November Joe's weakness for tea had in the old days been a target upon which I had often exer cised my faculty for irony and banter. The weakness was evidently still alive. "I had hojed to Lave a hunt with you. November." said I. "Indeed, that is what I came for, and there's nothing I'd like better than to try for your red deer buck tonight, but while I was at Harding's there was a ringup on the phone, and the provincial police sent through a message for you. It appears that a man named Henry Lyon has been shot in his camp at Big Tree portage. A lumberman found him and phoned the news into Quebec. The chief of police wants you to take on the case. He told me to say that suc cess would mean $50." "That's too bad," said Joe. "I'd sooner hunt a deer than a man any day. Makes a fellow feel less badlike when he comes up with him. Well, Mr. Quaritch, I must be getting oft", but you'll be wanting another guide. , Tbere'9 Charley Paul, down to St. Amicl." "Look here, November, I don't want Charley Paul or any other guide but you. The fact of the matter Is that Sir Andrew McLerrick, the great doc tor who was put with you last fall, has told me that I have been overdoing it J and must come Into the woods for rest- I've three months to put In. and from all 1 hear of you you won't take three months finding out who murdered Lyon." Joe locked grave. "I may take more than that. said he. "for maybe I'll never find out at all. But I'm right pleased, Mr. Quaritch. to hear you can stay so long. There's plenty of grub In my shack, and I dare say that I shan't be many days gone." "How far Is it to Big Tree portasre?" "Fire miles to the river aud eight up it." "I'd like to go with yen." He gave me one of bis quick smiles "Then I guess you'll have to wait for your breakfast till we are In the canoe. Turn the mare loose. She'll make Harding's by afternoon." Joe entered the shack and cane otit agalu with one or two articles. In five minutes he had put together a tent, my sleeping things, food, ammu nition and all necessaries. The wLole bundle he secured with his packing strap, lifted it and set out through the woods. (To De Continued.) L. J.

This morning about 11 o'clock Harry Worthen was the victim of a most unfortunate accident while out hunting a short distance south of the ferry, which will probably result in the loss of several fingers of the-right hand, but as yet it is hard to tell how serious the accident may prove to be. Mr. Worthen, in company with his friend, Leonard Jay, had gone out for a few hours' sport in hunting and he was walking some twenty feet in front of Jay, when the gun of the lat ter slipped from the position in which Lbe was carrying it, and as he pulled it back up to his arm the trigger of the gun caught on a button of his clothing and the weapon was dis charged, the charge from the shot gun entering the right hand of young Worthen. Jay at once ran to his side and assisted him to the city, where medical assistance was given the in jured man and his wounded hand dressed and made as comfortable as possible, but it will be a few days be fore the extent of the injuries can be fully determined. Mr. Worthen was just married some three weeks ago, and his misfortune falls with great force on his young wife, as well as his parents and friends in this city. RUDOLPH RAMSEL HAD TWO NEPHEWS KILLED IN THE GERMAN ARMY ''rora Wednesday's Daily. Rudolph Ramsel of this city has just received a letter from a brother in Germany which was mailed there on October 25th, and that contains some very sad news in that it con veys the information of the death in battle in France of two of the nephews of Mr. Ramsel, as well as the tidings of the wounding of another nephew in one of the big battles that have been almost continuous for two months there. The brother of Mr, Ramsel resides in Wesfalen, Germany, and at the outbreak of the war his sons entered the army and were at once sent to the front to do battle for their native land. The letter starts out with the statement that one of the sons had been killed, and while it was being written the news was received of the death of another son and the wounding of one. This blow falb heavily on the family in having two of their young men carried away by the bullets on the battlefield. The glimpses given of the horrors of war in Europe show a little of the condi tions that prevail in all the countries there and makes one glad they live in America. Methodist Conference.
