Sergeant Channing, as he threw I feet up on a chair and settled hlms< comfortably. --- ti was a winter's night, cold, bai .nd frosty, eight or nine. #enrs since? bad been down tovClifffc to spend few hours with a friend, and w going on to Sharnal street, the ne station down, to spend the night wi another friend. I "was walking up and down the d serted platform, thinking of Tari.01 things, -when my ' foot;: kicked i 'J ' ' against something which went slidii along the 'platform, and foll" upon tl down line. My toquislt?v?nessf ir pe lied me to jump* down and search fl ft with the "aiding light of a lnolfe lt turned out to he a. nove?-^1 Xorgi ... the title-and was in a very ??magt condition. My explanation of the tot cover and the beut corner was thi they were the outcome of the boc having-been flung out of! the windo of a passing train. '.' I took lt Into the" litrht of an astl matlcal lamp and examined it. Tbei was writing on the fly leaf-writing i 4 pencil, and the shakiness of lt and tl: uncertainty of the lines Immediate] suggested to me that they had bee . written In tbe train. The words then selves convinced me. They were: "Man hiding under tbe seat of th! compartment. Believe he has design ; on .valuables I have about me. Con . muuic?tion cord broken. Only way t Inform in case anything occurs; an with anchor tattooed on wrist. " Lei hand." For a moment I half suspected i was a practical joke. Then it occurre to me that there was more In the affai than lame humor. Oliffe is on the lin to Queenborough, where one can tak boat for Flushing, which is in Hollant the principal town of which. Amstel dam, Is .well known as a trading plac for% dealers In precious 'stones.' Th logical deduction was, therefore, tba the"writer of the message was travel lng with Jewels from London to Am sterdam via Queenborough and Flush lng. Possibly he had a small fortuit in gems upon his person, and was un easy in bis mind. Possibly the mai traveling under the seat of his compart ment, but for whose presence the othei would have been alone, had deslgni upon the valuables he carried, and realizing he could not. stop the expresi owing to the communication cord beim; broken, he decided upon the nove method of giving the police a clue tic the possible event of the hiding mar killing bim to obtain th?'val?nbles. I knew quite well that the Queen borough express had run through Oliffe three-quarters of an hour b?fore. ahd it had by that time reached its destin ation. GToinsr over to the station master'? office, I showed that official the mes; sage and explained my conclusion. He agreed that the affair might be serious. The only thing he could not under ' stnad was the point that the man rai der the seat must have taken up bis position before the other man entered the compartment, and this did not s^fi" ; gest that he bad designsupoh the other, because he could' not 'rely" 'upon {ne other choosing that particular com partment. But I pointed ont to him that the hiding man may have taken up his position in a compartment next to that of his intended victim,1 expect lng to get along by the footboard .at tlie first opportunity and that the other man, for some reason^ might hav-e changed Into the next compartment -at Gravesend, thus walking Into the enemy's camp unconsciously, and pot ? discovered his enemy's presence until the train was running .between- Graves end and Cliffe. To oblige me he wired down the Hue - to Port Victoria, and shortly ' after wards came the news that nothing; absolutely pointing to a crime bad come under notice. But that, ;'ia. jt second-class smoking compartment, a quantity of blood had peen found, by * a guard. A peculiar fact was, however, that no body bad been found. If a murferr had been done, what had become of the body ? If only an assault li?d beet? committed, why had the victim neither been found in the compartment nor given information? So he wired b?c?c to Port Victoria, giving them details, .advising them to make immediate in quiries and to search the line. Very shortly after that we recei"?d a meg-, sage to the effect that blood had also been found upon the footboard on the down-side of the' comp?rtment oh the floor of which similar stains had been discovered. The police bad been In formed, and already a search party had been sent up the une. I wired full particulars to Scotland Yard, and, on receiving Instructions to personally conduct the inquiry, I or ganized a search gang, and, armed with naphtha lamps, we set out down tbe line to meet those coming from Port-Victoria. * We went along as fi r as Sharnal street without discovering- anything, and from that station we wired on for. information. In reply we were advised that stains of blood had been found at the side of thc down metals, half way between Sharnal and Port Vic-, torla, ind that a'track of*stains had: been followed dovrn the embankment and half across a field, j- . This" new fact appeared;- important, * seeming te suggest that either the assailant or bte wounded victim had jumped out of the running train, and escaped across the fleld?. Bat if it were the assailant where was his vic tim? If the victim, where was, jtbe assailant? Could it be that the lattfcr had by any means taken the former with him? I rather fancied it possible. It might turn out that the tattooed , man bad killed bis victim, thrown him from the?train, jumped after hizn, and disposed of .thc body ' in some way, reckoning that the crime could not be discovered except by accident, and not until be was without *be reach of the Jaw. . ..

But noi h.^d sent any one traveling with vc u?bles, and advices from Amsterda informed me that no messenger wi expected there with stones or gen from. London. I was sorely punted, and hard) knew what to do or to think, when received a telegram from Scotian Tard saying that Robert Ryan, wt bad broken jail ? few days befor was described as having an anche tattooed on the wrist of his left limy Here was a clue Indeed! Wp were n longer hunting a .mere hand, b?t man. I had not 'been advised unt that moment that Ryan, who. ha been an officer In the navy, but wn sentenced: to four years for forger] had escaped from prison. Bnt I kne} a lot about him, and tbts knowledg suggested to me that he would see his erstwhile sweetheart th? mom en he felt he could safely rio so. Bat th same knowledge of him precluded m from thinking that he could have con mitted a murder for mere gain, unies -good gracious, the whole case seeme to be clear as day to me! . The mer name denied-the whole mystery. Robert Ryan had always proteste his innocence of the charge of forgeq But the evidence was dead agains him. I had seen him in custody on on occasion, though it was not my cast .and he had darkly hinted that a cousli of his had worked up the whole charg against him to separate him from hi fiance, whom the cousin loved and h said to me that when he had regains liberty he would be able to prove tha he was the'victim of jealousy, am that he h?d suffered for another'i crime. The story, though I could not bel levi I It, interested me so much that I wai led into making a few private inqulrlei as to who the cousin could be; and finally, I decided that the only persoi possible was Herbert Ryan. And nov it rushed across my mind that the tw( Ryans might be the persons of tb< nnystery; Robert/ the hand tinder th? seat; and Herbert; the writer of th< message. - Possibly, Herbert had noi recogiilzed-.-tro'?.hand, and honestly be lie ved the hiding juan had designa up?r, property he -carried. Or he may hav( -*eeogn?ed-tbe hnudv and feared tht anger Of his' cousin. In any case, Robert's belief that his'cousin had pul hira in prison w,5s ample motive for hk seeking to murder'Herbert. ?i l wired up my suspicions to the yard, arid set out for the place where I be ?eved Robert Ryan's sweetheart ww staying, for I had reason to know the charge against him hsd not changed her, as I have expia hied. 1 reached the house in the afternoon, and was informed that the young lady, Miss Duncan, was ont I mentioned a.time when T would return io see J?iss, Duncan, and went away. But I did not go far. ^Slaking sure that no one was watch ing, I crept round the wails of the gar den' which surrounded the house, and Listened for the sound of any voices. BthV'X could hear no one-no sound but the distant sea beating Upon the beach. I thought I might as? well haye a look a? the stretch of blue waters to while away the tim?; before going back to see Miss Duncan. So I w?abd?red over the dawns towards tho! edge of the steep cliffs. As I stood or. th'evedge of the ?l(ff I caught sight Of ;.two ^lonely flgu?esf . slowly.?wt?kmg on . my left One. -was -that of a woman; the other if as that of a tall man!, " . .. .."-'Fancying I could gtiess' who they trere, and noticing they were coming ia myydirectlon, \ threw; myself down Hest they should see* ine^ silhouetted against thesky. I watched them draw nearer. Then they turned and retraced their.-..steps. Once I siw, .the woman ^thro-v^ ont her hand" -impetuously to the man, wboseizfd it and;pressed it tb his lips. There was now little or no doubt la my mind ns to who they were, and walking along the cliffs untri I came to a place where the descent-was fair ly easy, ? made my way slowly down. Reaching the hard beach, T .stayed in hiding; where I could '"watch them. I/s?tf them turn, agalti, and . come leisurely towards me. I could hear the murmur of their voieei overthe babble of the sea, but I'could not catch their words-they talked in undertones. As they drew up ' near to where I stood I Jumped out and ran towards them. The man started ot my ap proach, but made no attempt to elude me. j "Robert Ryah," I cried, "F arrest you!" "It is of little consequence," he re plied, coldly. "But I would rather have surrendered myself. I am now In possession of evidence which will prove my Innocence and that I was unjustly punished." "That, is not the only thing for which we want you," I said. "You are sus pected of having murdered a gentle man between Oliffe abd Port Victoria." "Is he dead?" he cried. .."We have reason to think.so.'' He-laughed lightly, . but rather, an eviL unnatural laugh. * 'T don't think so" he sot?. "I was very near strangling him at one;ruo-; ment but he gave In like the wise.and' cowardly wretch he is. Shall I tell you all I know?

NO. 35 IAH IWMEB?E mi?m FARM TOMmYMYI!??B?H'; LUXURIOUSLY HOUSED HENS, j "TL -y EW YORK is soon to have \ in its suburbs the ; larg l_\ est chicken ranch in thc > world, states the Herald. At Manasquan, N. J., a, com pany has secured a tract of three hun dred acres to establish a giant hen Industry, conducted on sc len ti Qc meth ods. . . The company, say its promoters, in tends to control the New Yortymarket for "guaranteed" fresh laid eggs. They win, they say, deliver eggs in boxes, each box stamped with the dato of laying, and delivered to customer with in twenty-four hours after the eggs are laid. The city of New York last year paid $20,000,000 for eggs, most of. them more or less stale, the consumption being 100,000,000 dozen. The first year's output of the enormous new chicken ranch now being laid will be thirty million eggs. This will be. the product of a laying "herd'? of from one hundred and fifty thousand, to two. hundred thousand chickens. The es tablishment ls being planned to rapid ly Increase to. double that amount Tho?e Cocks will be herded under the system Invented by Mr. J. R. Ben PATENT FOOD DISTIUB?T?B,. OPEBATED sor;, an authority on everything per taining to the hen and its product Mr. Benson, is the general manager of this gigantic concern, which will be the biggest ianthe world. In a recent lecture Professor A. A. Brigham, of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture, at the Poultry Experi ment Station, Kingston, said: "To make an industry of the chicken and its product ls not a question of the market, which can always be had. It Is not the expense of keeping, which ia always low. It is not a question pf profit, which, if properly conducted? ls large. It ls the question how to reach and conduct on a business scale large herds pf hens, the chicken busi ness of to-day being merely a home in dustry. Something, therefore, must be done to make hen raising ? national business on a business scale." - This will be accomplished, says Mr. Benson, fit the Manasquan egg farm. Under his system any number of chick ens can be herded. Instead of allow ing them to run at large and mingle freely, as of old, picking their food from all kinds of refuse, they are to be divided into colonies of not above thirty hens. Each colony will have Its own reservation, kept In hygienic cleanliness and order, and separate and Isolated at all times from the others. ' This makes feeding of each fowl possible to Insure the greatest product iveness, with, as experience has proved, an average yearly, yield of twp hun dred eggs from each hen. The sec ond advantage of the segregation of the fowls ls that should a chicken by any chance become sick or breed ver min, the trouble cannot spread beyond that one reservation before lt is de tected; hence there can be none of the epidemics which have- sometimes played havoc with the fancy stock fowl on chicken farms.. Moreover, the new system permits the Immediate Identification of any hen failing in pro: ductiveness, and her prompt replace ment by one able to keep up to the high average. The system Includes the extensive use of-several patents, which bring the business of chicken ranching and egg producing to a new perfection. One of these ls an automatic nest. Without this it would be impossible, where more than one hen is kept, to guaran tee that an egg would be free from the .taint of incubation. When hens lay ID the narnu nest nndf roja, one; to abai: down Bit OD tho nest -rvbllo laying, tta vmm OE hateliiBg I?M actually begun before tho eggs aro gathered for the market. This ls the main cause why so many eggs spoil. The new'system is the only one which prevents eggs from undergoing some degree of Incubation, becanse the ?egg is takenfrom the nest immediate ly after lt ls laid. Thc Invention con sists of a nest with* a hole In the bot tom suspended Immediately o VJ. a re volving disc, which receives the egg as soon as J t is laid and moves it away from the nest when released by the rising of the hen. The disc is then ready to receive the nest egg, and in this way no egg is incubated for an instant The second invention saves the ex pense of numerous attendants and the lives of the smaller hens. One of the greatest troubles nnd trials of poultry farms has been that of feeding. Un less time wfre taken to scatter the food far aud wide the larger fowls beat away thc smaller from it, and the result was that the smaller vre imperfectly nourished, impairing their laying capacity. As small hens may be as prolific as larger ones, and'as overfeeding produces fat and dimin ishes the laying, the importance of fair and even distribution of food to laying hens is plain. To make this cheap and easy, an electric food scatterer has heen invented. The attendant places the feed in it and upon pressure of a button at a central station the food is scattered simultaneously In all sections evenly over the surface of the reservation. The. third improvement is to destroy tliG vermiu, the enemy of fowl. Most vermin pass from fowl to fowl at night, when the fowls are roostlng.and crawl up the walls of the chicken house and out upon the perch. These assaults are rendered vain hy a perch j which ls set in a cup, in which the ver min are caught and destroyed before they can reach the fowls. The eggs will be collected from the nest disc several times a day. Packing .and shipping will go on continually. A few hours will bring them to New York In the cars of the company and delivered by their own trains each morning. The fresh laid eggs will be packed ana shipped ' In paper boxes containing from one-half dozen to three dozen. Each box will be secured by a sealed label stamped with the date of laying. | The extent of this ranch is to be very great Nothing like it exists any-1 INTERIOR OF LATEST IM: ;OVED IiROOO INO HOUSE FOR CHICKENS. where. The largest chicken, farm to day is at Sydney, Ohio. This plant has the capacity of raising one hun dred thousand broilers per year, but It does not sell the egg product To accomplish this it has a flock of less than fifteen thousand hens. Cudahy, the great packer, has a chicken farm of eighteen thousand head near Mil waukee, ahd this is considered one of the largest in the country. One New Jersey concern ls said to be the largest chicken and egg purchaser In this country, but never have its flocks ex ceeded eighteen thousand, i "Pew people know that the Insig nificant little hen is one of the great est profit makers and wealth produc ers. The revenue from keeping fowls for eggs if the herds can be properly handled, watched and controlled is greater than in any other industry," said J. R. Benson. "Becoming convinced years ago that there was big profit and room for great improvement in poultry raising, I started experiments and study, not in methods of breeding, but to devise proper methods of herding. I found tb nt it is possible oa a small area, .to heep an uallraitod numbor ot faull Ms, ?biB ift\m OBMB-34 tbs grttt> est. production. Two ' hundred eggs per year per fowl was not a high aver age, and each hen could be made to pay a profit of at least $2.50 per year. I started with fifteen bens, then in creased this to ten families of fifteen each. The result was the same li not better." Mr. C H. Wyckoff, of Groton, N. Y., one of the successful small poultry rais ers, keeps about six hundred head of laying fowls, In small colonies, solely for eggs for the market His total egg yield was 117,600 eggs for the year! ending October 1, 3899. His receipts were $4.08 per year for each of the' six hundred hens. He figures $1.08 per year per hen for keep and expenses, showing a net profit of $1800 per year for this colonized Hock of six hundred. And this is the profit, says Mr. Ben son, on an Investment of less than $000. Mr. Benson estimates that this mam moth egg ranch will cost, equipped and stocked with 150,000 hens ready for a daily lay of 80,000 to 100,000 eggs, about $260,000. The yearly ex-; pense of running this plant will be, Including feed, delivery system, etc.,: about $210,000. The yearly Income Is figured at $510,000 for eggs and $75, 000 for non-producing fowls sold as broilers, etc.. or a total of 5585,000. If this large gain ls borne out In practice, as these gentlemen confidently be lieve, the docile little hen will become a bigger money maker and profit bring er than even the biggest of money making Inventions and investments. The Orango Belt In CallfornlH, The orange producing belt of Califor nia includes the counties of Los An geles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Or ange, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. Added to this is the foothill region skirting the Sierras. In this principal belt there are now 48,000 acres. The bearing trees in Southern California number 2,072,400, the non bearing trees 1,227,300, but as the lat ter will soon be productive it Is easy to see the time when the output will amount to 27,000 carloads, and the In come be $10,000,000. The capital In vested ls already about $44,000,000. While oranges were first grown by the monks nt San Gabriel Mission as long ago as 1804, the present industry is all of recent growth. It was in 1870 that John Wolfskin planted the flrit or chard in California. Land adapted to the purpose of the orange-orchardlst went from a valuation of $30 per acre to $600, and a single tree that once could have been procured from the nursery for ten cents reached a valua tion of $1.60. Of course, In being brought to Its present stage of.devel opment, orange-growing was attended by many costly experiments. For tunes have been sunk, but fortunes have been made, and from the lessons of experience the Industry has been placed on a secure footing. Swordfish In Plenty. A busy and lucrative swordfish sea son has opened, and from now until October visitors at T Wh "rf will see more big fish than at un j other time In the year. Every year, shortly after the Fourth of July, the fleet of fishing vessels, changing its base of operations from Georges and other ledges, takes a stand in the vicinity of Minot's Light looking for the fish named. Sev eral cargoes hare been brought In, and the average catch was about sev enty-five fish. Their weight Averaged about 150 pounds, although one was landed which tipped the scales at 560 pounds, and several weighed between 300 and 500 pounds. Many people on the wharf watched the workers get their catch from the holds of the vessel to the big fish carts and not a few se cured one or more of the swords. Some will have the edges sharpened, a point and handle put on, and will keep the sword as a relic. The fish brings six cents a pound.-Boston Transcript Cecil Rhodes and tho Ladle?.
