CHAPTER XXIX. Continued. We crowded out of the elevator at the fourth floor, and found ourselves in a rather theatrical hallway of dra peries and armor. It was very quiet; we stood uncertainly after the car had gone, and looked at the two or three doors in sight. They were heavy, covered with metal, and sound proof. From somewhere above came the metallic accuracy of a piano piano, and through the open window we could hear or feel the throb of the Cannonball's engine. "Well, Sherlock." McKnight said, "what's the next move in the 'fame? It is our jump, or theirs. You through! us here." None of us knew just what to do next. No sound of conversation pene trated the heavy doors. We waited uneasily for some minutes, and Hotch kiss looked at his watch. Then he put it to his ear. "Good gracious!" he exclaimed, his bead cocked on one side, "I believe it las stopped. I'm afraid we are late." We were late. My watch and Hotch ldss' agreed at nine o'clock, and, with tho discovery that our man might have come and gone, our zest in the adventure began to flag. McKnight motioned us away from the door and rang the bell. There was no response, bo sound within. He rang it twice. the last time long and vigorously, without result Then he turned and looked at us. "I don't half like this," he said. That woman is in; you heard me ask the elevator boy. For two cents Td " I had seen it when he did. The door was ajar about an inch, and a narrow wedge of rose-colored light showed beyond. Then, with both men at my heels, I stepped into the priv ate corridor of the apartment and looked around. It was a square re ception hall, with hats, and a couple of chairs. A lantern of rose-colored glass and a desk light over a writing table across made the room bright aud cheerful. It was emntv. None of us were comfortable. The Chinese Center of Industry fan-Making Is the Principal Business Carried On in Village of Pengchow.

"We look like an invading army," he said. "If she's here alone, we w:!t startle her into a spasm. One r us could take a look around and" "What was that? Didn't you hear something?" The sound, whatever it had been, was not repeated. We went awkward ly out into the hall, very uncomfort able, all of us Ind flipped a coin. The choice foil un me. which was right enough, for the affair was mine, pri marily. "Walt just Inside the door." I di rected, "and if Sullivan comes, or anybody that answers his description, grab him without ceremony and ask him questions afterwards." The apartment, save in the hallway, was unlighted. By one of those freaks of arrangement possible only in the modern flat, I found the kitchen first, and was struck a smart and unex pected blow by a swinging door. I carried a handful of matches, and by the time I had passed through a but ler's pantry and a refrigerator room I was completely lost in the darkness. Until then the situation had been merely uncomfortable; suddenly it be came grisly. From somewhere near came a long-sustained groan, followed almost instantly by the crash of some thing glass or china on the floor. I struck a fresh match, and found myself in a narrow rear hallway. He hind me was the door by which I must have come; with a keen desire to get back to the place I had started from, I opened the door and attempted to cross the room. I thought I had kept my sense of direction, but I crashed without warning Into what, from the resulting jangle, was the dining table. probably laid for dinner. I cursed my stupidity in getting into such a sit uation, and I cursed my nerves for making my hand shake when I tried to strike a match. The groan had not been repeated. I braced myself against the table and struck the match sharply against the sole of my shoe. It flickered faintly and went out And then, with out the slightest warning, another dish went off the table. It fell with a thousand splinterlngs; the 'very air seemed broken into crashing waves of sound. I stood still, braced against the table, holding the red end of the dying match, and listened. I had not long to wait; the groan came again, and I recognized It, the cry of a dog in straits. I breathed again. "Come, old fellow," I said. "Come on, old man. Let's have a look at you." I could hear the thud of his tail on the floor, but he did not move. He only whimpered. There is something companionable in the presence of a dog, and I fancied this dog in trouble. Slowly I began to work my way around the table toward him. "Good boy," I said, as he whimpered. "We'll find the light, which ought to be somewhere or other around here, and then " I stumbled over something, and 1 drew back my foot almost instantly. "Did I step on you, old man?" I ex claimed, and bent to pat him. I re member straightening suddenly and many years past every family in the village has been devoted to the work, all the members of the families being occupied in the manufacture. In the city of Chaochowfu itself the fan In dustry is also large, but the Peng chow district abounds in a particular kind of bamboo especially suitable for the ribs and handle, and to this fact is the large output of the latter place attributed. I hearing the dog pad softly toward me around the table. I recall even that I had put the matches down and could not find them. Then, with a bursting horror of the room and its contents, of the gibbering dark around me, I turned and made for the door by which I had entered. I could not find It. I felt along the endless wainscoting, past miles of wall. The dog was beside me. I think, but he was part and parcel now, to my excited mind, with the Thing un der the table. And when, after aeons of search, I found a knob and stum bled into the reception hall, I was as nearly is a panic as any man could be. I was myself again in a second, and by the light from the hall I led the way back to the tragedy I had stum bled on. Bronson still sat at the table, his elbows propped on it, his cigarette still lighted, burning a bole in the cloth. Partly under the table lay Mrs. Conway, face down. The dog stood over her and wagged bis tall. McKnight pointed silently- to a large copper ash tray, filled with ashes and charred bits of paper. "The notes, probably," he said rue fully. "He got them after all, and burned them before her. It was more than she could stand. Stabbed him first and then herself." Hotchkiss got up and took off bis hat. "They are dead," he announced solemnly, and took his note-book out of his hatband. McKnight and I did the only thing we could think of drove Hotchkiss and the dog out of the room, and closed and locked the door. "It's a matter for the police." McKnight as serted. "I suppose you've got an offi cer tied to you somewhere, Lawrence? You usually have." We left Hotchkiss in charge and went downstairs. It was McKnight who first saw Johnson, leaning against a park railing across the street, and called him over. We told him in a few words what we had found, and he grinned at me cheerfully. "After awhile, in a few weeks or months, Mr. Blakeley," he said, "when you get tired of monkeying around with the blood-stain and finger-print specialist upstairs, you come to me. I've had that fellow you want under surveillance for ten days!" CHAPTER XXX. Finer Details. At ten minutes before two the fol lowing day. Monday, I arrived at my office. I had spent the morning put ing my affairs in shape, and in a trip to the stable. The afternoon would see me either a free man or a pris oner for .n indefinite length of time, and, in' spite of Johnson's promise to p- 5uce Sullivan. I was more prepared lor the latter than the former. Lllobs was watching for me outside the door, and It was clear that he was in a state of excitement bordering on delirium. He did nothing, however, save to tip me a wink that meant "As man to man, I'm for you." I was too much engrossed either to reprove him or to return the courtesy, but I heard him follow me down the hall to the small room where we kept outgrown law books, typewriter supplies and, in cidentally, our wraps. I was wonder ing vaguely if I would ever hang my hat on its nail again, when the door closed behind me. It shut firmly, with out any particular amount of sound, and I was left in the dark. I groped m- way to it. irritably, to find it locked on the outside. I shook it fran tically, and was rewarded by a sibilant whisper through the keyhole. "Keep quiet," Blobs was saying htfskily. "You're in deadly peril. The police are waiting in your office, three of 'em. I'm goin to lock the whole bunch in and throw the key out of the window." "Come back here, you imp of Sa tan!" I called furiously, but I could hear him speeding down the corridor, and the slam of the outer office door by which he always announced his presence. And so I stood there in the ridiculous cupboard, hot with the heat ! of a steaming September day. musty with the smell of old leather bindings. littered with broken overshoes and handleless umbrellas. I was apoplec tic with rage one minute, and choked with laughter the next. It seemed an hour before Blobs came back. He came without haste, strutting with new dignity, and passed outside my prison door. "Well. I guess that will hold them for a while," he remarked comfort ably,, and proceeded to turn the key. "I've got 'em fastened up like sardines in a can!" he explained, working with the lock. "Gee whiz! you'd ought to hear 'em!" When he got his breath after the shaking I gave him, he be gan to sputter. "How'd I know?" he demanded sulkily. "You nearly broke your neck gettln' away the other time. And I haven't got the old key. It's lost." "Where's it lost?" I demanded, with another gesture toward his coat col lar. "Down the elevator shaft" There was a gleam of indignant satisfaction through his tears of rage and humilia tion. And so, while he hunted the key in the debris at the bottom of the shaft. I quieted his prisoners with the as surance that the lock had slipped, and that they would be free as lords as soon as we could find the janitor with a pass-key. Stuart went down finally and discovered Blobs, with the key in his pocket telling the engineer how he had tried to save me from arrest and failed. When Stuart came up h was almost cheerful, but Blobs did nut appear again that day. Simultaneous with the finding nl the key came Hotchkiss, and we went in together. I shook hands with two men who, with Hotchkiss, made a not "Only the open fan Is manufactured in this district For the frame the split bamboo is repeatedly rived until each piece is sufficiently slender and flexible. These thread-like pieces of bamboo are arranged in a row, at tached to each other by a thread passed crosswise through the middle. This thread is fastened to a semicir cular strip of bamboo giving the fan its shape. The ribs are then slightly heated and bent at the ends. The fan has now the peculiar and characteristic shell-like shape at the top. Very flimsy silk gauze Is then very animated group. The taller ono, aa oldish man. lean and hard, an nounced his errand at once. "A Pittsburg warrant?" I Inquired, unlocking my cigar drawer. "Yes. Allegheny county has as sumed jurisdiction, the exact locality where the crime was committed being in doubt" He seemed to be the spokesman. The other, shorter and rotund, kept an amiable silence. "We hope you will see the wisdom of waiv ing extradition," ha went on. "It will save time." "I'll come, of course," I agreed. "The sooner the better. But I want you to give me an hour here, gentle men. I think we can interest you. Have a cigar?" The lean man took a cigar; the ro tund man took three, putting two in his pocket. "How about the catch of that door?" he Inquired Jovially. "Any danger of it going off again?" Really, consider ing the circumstances, they were re markably cheerful. Hotchkiss, how ever, was not He paced the floor un easily, his hands under his coat-tails. The arrival of McKnight created a di version; he carried a long package and a cerkscrew, and shook hands with the police and opened the bottle with a single gesture. "I always want something te cheer on these occasions," he said. "Where's the water, Blakeley? Everybody ready?" Then in French he toasted the two detectives. "To your eternal discomfltare," he sail, bowlag ceremoniously. "May you go home and never come back! If you take Monsieur Blakeley with you, I hope you choke." The lean man nodded gravely. "Prosit." he said. But the fat one leaned back and laughed consumedly. Hotchkiss finished a mental synop sis of his position, and put down his glass. "Gentlemen," he said pompous ly, "within five minutes the man you want will be here, a murderer caught in a net of evidence so fine that a mosquito could not get through." The detectives glanced at each oth er solemnly. Had they not in their possession a sealskin bag containing a wallet and a bit of gold chain, which by putting the crime on me, would leave a gap big enough for Sullivan himself to crawl through? "Why don't you say your little speech before Johnson brings the oth er man, Lawrence?" McKnight In quired. "They won't believe you, but it will help them to understand what is coming." "You understand. 01" course," the lean man put in gravely, "that what you sav may be used against you." "I'll take the risk," I answered im patiently. It took some time to tell the story cf my worse than useless trip to Pitts burg, and its sequel. They listened gravely, without interruption. "Mr. Hotchkiss here," I finished, "believes that the man Sullivan, whom we are momentarily expecting, com mitted the crime. Mr. McKnight is inclined to implicate Mrs. Conway, who stabbed Bronson and then her self last night As for myself, I am open to conviction." "I hope not," said the stout detec- live quizzically. And then Alison was announced. My impulse to go out aud meet her was forestalled by the detectives, who rose when I did. Mc Knight, therefore, brought her in, and I met her at the door. "I have put you to a great deal of trouble." I said contritely, when I saw her glance around the room. "I wish I bad not " "It Is only right that I should come." she replied, looking up at me. "I am the unconscious cause of most of it I am afraid. Mrs. Dallas is going to v.au in tne outer omce. I presented Hotchkiss and the two I detectives, who eyed her with Inter-! est. In her poise, her beauty, even in f he-r gown, I fancy she represented a new type to them. They remained I standing until she sat down. I "I have brought the necklace." she began, holding out a white-wrapped I box, "as you a3ked me to." ; ! passed' it, unopened, to the detec tives. "The necklace from which was broken the fragment you found in the sealskin bag," I explained. "Miss West found It on the floor of the car, near lower ten." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Knowledge of the World.

With all their tricks and knowledge of the world, waiters are singularlj unspoiled, good-natured and agreeable, and they are full of Interesting, oft en scientific, information. They see a side of humanity that nobody else ever sees, mostly the comedy and pec cadillo side. Considering their uoused-up condition, it seems remark able how much they know about what is going on. When not busy they are always enthusiastically engaged in swapping pointers and Information, which. In a way. accounts for some of them getting rich In Wall street Difference In Laughter.

If yon allow your young cattle to barely eke out an existence thi3 win ter, they will lose in flesh and bodily vigor to such an extent that it will take two months of good pasture to bring them back to their present con dition. Such management swells the farm loss account and gradually de creases the net profits that you may expect next year. The farmer who grows clover for bay and seed and sells both may think he has done a good thing for the soil, but aside from the roots which have been exhausted growing the crop he has done the soil more Injury than with any other crop he can raise. A good heifer with her first calf at a little past two years of age, if she is from a breed of fairly high producing cows, is worth from $50 to $100. A steer that will bring that much money Is usually fed two to three times as much as the average heifer. Pumpkins are one of the best winter green feeds for almost all .kinds of stock, especially relished by dairy cows, and they are excellent to mix with dairy feed for the production of milk, tho cows relishing them greatly. It Is not to be supposed that every heifer will make a first-class cow, but tho manner in which she Is fed and cared for from birth will have some thing to do with deciding the question. The feeding of dairy cows for best results is more complicated, and in volves more thought than most per sons realize; merely throwing a cow an abundance of food is not all. It is impossible to tell the profitable cows from the unprofitable animals unless you test your milk. The quan tity of milk is not enough. The but ter fat must be considered. It is very Important that when the calves are first placed in the feed lot they should be given the most palat able feed that can be obtained until they have learned to eat There is no known feed that is bet tar for poultry than good clean grains, accompanied by plenty of clean, fresh water and an abundance of charcoal. Now is the time to study up on the new "serum" method for preventing bog cholera, then you will be ready to act at once when you have to. The only way to be sure a cow has good milking qualities which can be perpetuated in her offspring is to be sure she has good blood in her.

RtniV upon their farms are successful farm ers, but not all successful farmers need be stock feeders. Producing what the consumer wants and putting it on the market in an attractive form are two of tho secrets or successful dairying. It isn't much use to keep cows that milk hard. You can find just as good ones that milk by man-power and not four horse-power. Cattle raising presents a promising field of endeavor to those who aim alike at personal satisfaction and financial profit All damaged limbs should be cut out, because they are likely to in jure others while swaying in the winds. It requires skill and a liberal sys tem of feeding to grow and develop a high-grade draft horse for market. The sheep responds profitably to conditions of peacefulness. They need sensible treatment as to surroundings. In the large city markets the best prices for fatted fowls are realized from about February to July. Lousy hogs are a direct source of loss, which, with worms, prevent divi dends in the hog business. Attention to every minute detail In dairying must be observed if the best results are reached. All weeds and dead branches should be cleaned out of the small fruit gar dens and burned. A good 'square walk for a farm horse Is like a good square deal for men. All soli Is made up of ground pul verized rock and vegetable matter. Dairying Is still a peculiar industry as adapted to the northern states. Meats and ground grains are In protein and are egg makers. rich Not one-half the farmers realize the profit there on pasture land. 0 Mares do not usually rive trouble by abortion if given good food and reasonable care. Of course, when pregnant, a mare should not be over driven, nor be compelled to smell blood or offal, and should not back or hold back heavy loads Her stall should not have much incline Nour ishing food, pure water and fresh air are essentials. If one suspect ergot or smut in hay or feed it should be discarded. It Is estimated that barn-yard ma nures have a value of about two thirds that of commercial fertilizers, there fore the careful saving of farm ma nures and their judicial application to the soil are vital factors in farming operations, and as essential to con tinued success as plowing the land or planting the crop. The price of dairy products in the winter is so much higher than in sum mer that only a small extra effort as to care and judicious feeding may re sult in a considerable increase in the profits from the entire herd at this season. The Intelligent flock-masters are fast coming to recognize the fact that the man who makes the most of his opportunities In handling a farm flock must become a breeder and feeder 'of high-class mutton, more especially sheep. The farmer who is breeding a flock of improved mutton sheep and feeding them in an intelligent and painstaking manner, may plan his feeding opera tions so that lie may have a good near by city market every week in the year. Farm-yard manures benefit the soil by acting as a mulch and make hu mus, but their benefit to the growing crops depends entirely upon the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash they contain. It is true that the generality of farm mares aro low In quality, but that is no valid excuse for farmers to persist In breeding horses that no body wants, not even themselves. Sheep raising numbers among its requirements quietness and content ment In a degree perhaps not so es sential to success in the handling of other breeds of live stock. In the production of strawberries the best specimens are obtained only by careful culture, '-he plants should be of a large fruited and firm fruited rarfot v of th ist ii.,vnr Begin to take the chill off the water you give the horses when the weather gets cold. You can heat It cheaper on the stove than you can in the stomach of the horse. A thick coat of paint daubed over the severed limbs when pruning in the orchard or wood lot prevents cracking of the wood and gives the trees a bet ter appearance. The ordinary diversified farm with its abundant use of horsepower fur nishes ideal conditions for growing, developing and training draft horses. It will pay anyone that keeps from 25 to 100 hens to build a shed close to the henhouse in which to deposit the droppings during the winter. It Is best to separate pullets from the rest of the flock, let them have free range and feed largely of whole or cracked corn, wheat or oats J It Is impossible to create capacity. You may breed for It but you can't create It and it's a very important function In the dairy cow. There Is the most money In the long run In dairying by selling tho cream or butter only and keeping the other products on the farm. The Duroc Jersey sows are very , docile; they are easily handled during the breeding and farrowing season and . are very prolific breeders. Under no circumstances should any thing bo added to milk to prcx-cnt its ' souring. Such doings violate the law of both God and man. The problem of keeping the boys and girls on the farmstead is solving itself, for farm life is becoming more and more attractive. While It is some troublo to strain the cream before churning, but when that is dono there will be no wblto specks In butter. The feeder is the only man that can tell how miNh food the colts require for their best growth and develop ment Fresh air Is all right for the hms. but not when it Is sifted through knot holes and cracks between the boards. Ram lambs are a drug on the mar ket, vet thousands of farmers con tinue to flood the markets with them. Sheep that are kept as scavengers soon assume the appearance that their purpose would signify. Good, bright oat straw Is good roughage for idle horses, but some grain should be frd with It. Hold on to some of tho clover for spring feeding. It Is great when the sheep get tired of timothy. Hens are much better breeders than pullets, because a greater per cent of the eggs are fertile. Warm water in winter, given morn ing, noon and night, make the hens sing with delight. One of the great economies in growing of sheep is that the shelter is Inexpensive. Now Is the time of year to feed corn freely to all stock, even including milk cows. If sheep are left out in a cold rain they are almost sure to contract catarrh. PRAYER WITHOUT RESULT Boy's Patience Is Exhausted After Frequent Petitions to Throne of Grace.

The next night Harold's mother wu in the next room when he said his prayers, and she heard him ask God to forgive Dewey for stealing a piece of cake. On the following evening he again was moved to ask forgiveness for his friend, this time for stealing three pieces of candy. Apparently hla patience was exhausted, for the next evening his mother was In the adjoin ing room when he offered his evening prayer, and this Is what she heard: "Gosh darn it. God.
