That day the boy was com fortably settled In a furnished room. dolHis wages were to be twenty-fiv- e lars a month. He was to get his meals at a small restaurant. It was a speculation on the part of the generous lawyer like that of putting a colt in a training stable. The boy was quick to learn. Moreover, he had a mind of his own, and agreeable manners. The country was now at war with Spain. A messenger came one day from the War department to consult the colonel. It was then that Shad learned that Colonel Blake was an acknowledged authority in devising and reading cipher messages used in war. Facts of vital Interest were discovered regarding the weapon used in the killing of Oscar Perry. The brief of Colonel Blake submitted to thq Appellate division of the Supreme court recites the testimony of Sergt. William E. Petty of New York, an expert on revolvers and ammunition, who examined the weapon. He weighed its bullets and counted their grooves. He said : This revolver was called in its time the American Bulldog Thirty-eighIt was manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms company. They ceased to make and sell it in 1890. The weapon has this peculiarity. When It is fired the trigger must be released the trigger finger must cease to press it before it is cocked for another discharge. While the sergeant examined the bullets, Colonel Blake made a note of this Illuminating fact These cartridges were undoubtedly revolmade for the Winchester-Col- t They ver, the sergeant resumed. are thirty-eigh- t caliber, long, central-fircartridges, with a square base. The weight, the shape of the point, the form and faces of the cannelures leave no room for doubt Colonel Blake learned that the trade in northern New York bought their t. e north-centr- al d me. Never, Shad answered. The colonel spoke: This boy had almost convinced me of your innocence until I learned today that a part of your testimony is false. You once owned a revolver. Bumpy answered: No, I didnt I bought a revolver one day at Cobb and Maxwells in Norwalk, but I bought it for another man. I never owned It a minute. I took It to Robert Royce that day. He said that in travelin around I might see a chance to buy a good revolver cheap. If I did, I was to git it for him. The island was overrun with cats. He wanted to shoot some of em. He give me exactly what the revolver an catridges cost. It was a bill he give me. It had been tore in the middle an pasted together. He said he had got it from Henry Lockwood that day an that hed guarantee it was good. Was anyone present when you delivered the revolver? Not as I remember of, no sir. He was alone in the shop. He went upstairs an got a present for me. It was a knit muffler with his initials wove into it He said that he never used it. What did you do with that bill that was torn in the middle? Colonel Blake asked. , Bumpy Brown thought a moment Well, sir, I might as well tell you I give it to my wife to keep for me. Your wife! the colonel exclaimed. I thought that your wife had been dead for years. I dont blame ye fer thlnkln so, the old man went on. I put her in her grave years ago, but she aint dead, no, sir.

Well, sir, you'll find out aint no liar, said Bumpy. five-doll- supplies of Winchester arms and ammunition from a store of the company in Utica. On his return the colonel stopped at this store. Its record of sales for some years prior to 1890 were still on file. A bookkeeper was paid to make an Immediate survey of those records and ascertain to what tradesmen in St Lawrence county the American Bulldog revolver had been sold. His report was that only one revolver of that type had been sold in St. Lawrence county. It had been shipped in September, 1889, with three boxes of thirty-eigcalibei, long, central-fir- e to fit it, to E. J. Bonfield, cartridges a hardware dealer of the village of Massena. A little later Shad went with Colonel Blake to Massena. They learned that Mr. Bonfield had sold his stock and gone out of business in 1890. His goods had gone to some merchant in Norwalk. Shad and the district attorney drove to that small town, which was five miles from Ashfield. In the general store run by Cobb and Maxwell they found the long resting-plac- e of the antiquated weapon which had killed Oscar Perry. Mr. Cobb had bought the revolver and its boxes of cartridges from Bonfield in 1889. To whom and when did you sell it? the colonel asked. We sold it Mr. Cobb answered: cheap to old Bumpy Brown, the tinker. He said that he was getting it for another man who wanted to shoot some cats. This is important evidence. Why didn't you report it to me? was the query of the district attorney. Well, I was In California when I didnt get Bumpy was arrested. back until a week ago. I thought that Id wait and see what happened. Have you any Idea or suspicion as to the last owner of this weapon? No, sir, but I think that Brown told me the truth. As Colonel Blake and his young clerk went to the hotel for supper the former said : This is a curious case. Again it comes up to Bumpy Brown. Well know more of this matter before we sleep. They returned to Canton by the evening train and drove directly to the jalL Bumpy was brought out to the ht . that I If I do any murderin it must be that I do it in my sleep. I aint never ketched myself in the act not yet As Shad and Colonel Blake were leaving the jail the latter said : It is almost clear to me that the old man has been the victim of a plot I think that we shall soon be done with him save as a witness. The sheriff drove out to Browns cove next day with the district attorney and the tinker. They found the mended bill with other money In the hiding place Bumpy had described. Henry Lockwood was at his farm near the cove. He Identified the bill in question. He gave it to Royce in paying a bill and guaranteed its validity. In doing so he had made a note in his memorandum book of its number. The identification was perfive-doll- ar fect As they left Lockwoods house the district attorney said to the old man: It does look as if your wife was still alive. I think that she is going to get you out of this scrape. Oh, she shes a wonderful woman said the tinker. I could always count on her in the day o need. Colonel Blakes mind was nearing Its decision. Theban suit, the motive, the possession of the revolver and the rubbers seemed clearly to indicate the guilt of Royce.'

(TO BE CONTINUED. ) Origin of Japanese Modem authorities believe that the Japanese do not differ physically from the Koreans and the Chinese to any great degree. The late Doctor Baels of the Imperial university of Toklo, who made an exhaustive anthropological study of the Japanese, divided them into three distinct types Mongol and Malay. The first are believed to be descendants of Korean colonists, who, in prehistoric times, settled on the west coast of Japan. There is no satisfactory theory as to the route by which the Mongols reached Japan, but there is very little doubt that they did find their way thither at one time. The third type is found in nearly all the Islands along the east coast of Asia as well as in southern China and in the extreme southwest of Korea. They probably landed in Kyushu, the most southerly of the main Japanese Islands, ultt mately pushing northward. Peterman's Ant Food b rare death ' touts.
