After Mr. Doolittle lay down I locked the shop and .went upstairs to my room and got me a bite to eat. Then I lit a lamp an jlay down on a bed an read some jstory papers. I didnt have a telephone. So when Mr. Doolittle woke jup and asked me to let him out of the shop about half past eight I didnt (know of the shooting. I told him then jthat hed better look out for the tinker or hed be done up. I was at jDoollttlea the day that Cyrus put ihlm off his place. The old man acted dreadful vicious." The doctors and other witnesses were sworn.. Motive was proved to the satisfaction of the judge. The tinker stood by the statements he had made on the night of the murder. The rubbers were put In evidence. Shad and the sheriff testified as to the finding of the cartridges and the revolver. The district attorney presented his theory. It was conclusive. The only dissenters in the courtroom were the boys, Bony and Shad. Old Bumpy Brown was held for the grand jury, which promptly Indicted him for murder In the first degree. The prisoner limped out of court with the. sheriff and his deputy. The district attorney stood receiving the 'congratulations of friends when Shad and Bony approached. Colonel Blake greeted them. I know it looks bad, but I dont think he's guilty, said Shad. What are your reasons? was He Is not mean enough, Shads answer. It's the same old reason that has been pleaded since Cain killed Abel, the colonel laughed. I dont complain because a boys heart is better than bis head. It ought to be. Come over to the house and spend the night with us. Id like to, but I must get back tonight. Could we go and see Bumpy a few minutes?" Certainly, Ill go with you. Bumpy was glad to see them. He smiled, reaching through the bars and shaking their hands cheerfully as he had been wont to do in Browns cove. We wanted you to know that youve got at least two friends," said Shad. Friends t I used to have more friends than you could, shake a stick at Theyre all gone but you an the woman.' I miss her dreadfuL I guess you aint scared, this from Bony. Scared I By Jeedix!

"Well, sir, I have an idee, but I may be wrong. I can be purty mean, to say that a man but I aint done murder less I know what Im talkin about It aint manners." Bumpy reached through the bars and shook their hands. Were going to find the guilty man, said Shad. Boys, I like you by Jeedix, I do I" Bumpy exclaimed. "But you stick to your jobs. Im nigh the end o the road anyhow. That ended the Interview. It was supper time. Colonel Blake went with the boys to the railroad station. Thei boys rode to Ashfield, got their suppers at a restaurant and walked home! They were talking of the vents of the day. looks awful bad for Bony said: Bumpy. Do ye suppose he could have I gone an done it In a kind of crazy fit? No, I dont He Is not that kind of a man." Seems as if he didnt care much whether they hang him or not, Bony added. Maybe hell fool em yet. That ol man is smart. Shad spent the night with Bony, The people were almost unanimous in the conviction that Bumpy Brown was guilty of the murder, even those who had little knowledge of the damning evidence. In spite of their familiarity with every detail of it, the boys stood firmly for their friend. Their voices were the only ones that had a word to say in favor of the suspected man. They were openly criticized for being the friends of a murderer. It was nearing nine oclock of a chilly November night. The usual band of murder gossipers had left the store of Ephraim Smithers.

He had a hat on. He was walkin like Sam Hill towards Ashfield. He limped like Bumpy Brown. It was so dark Jack couldnt see his face. Away down just above the road that goes into the village Henry Lockwood cornin home in a hay wagon met a man wearin a hat He was walkin fast. He had his hat tilted sideways so Henry couldnt see his face. The moon was out then. This man didnt limp. Theres a funny thing about It. He didnt limp. Henry is sure o that It was within half a mile of Ashfield an most two mile below Bumpys on the other side o the river. Henry says It was a little after eight oclock. They say that the Bensons hired girl passed the same man almost in the edge o the village a little later, but I didnt have time to look her up today. Do ye see how it all Jibes the time an the hat an the fast walkin? Who was this man with the hat who left here right after the murder an dodged you because you had a lantern an went off the road? Why did he hide his head behind his hat brim when Henry Lockwood passed him? I say that was the murderer." Shad was thrilled by the news that broad-brimme- . .

Suddenly Bony Squares entered. He had been running and was breathing hard. Shad was in the front end of the store stacking some tools. Bony was excited. He whispered to his young friend. By Jeedix! he exclaimed, quoting the favorite oath of old Bumpy Brown, Ive run a mile. Fraid Id be too late. Ive learnt a lot o things, an Ive got to have a talk with you. Ask e ol if you can come and stay all night with me. Always Bony had been wont to speak of the bearded Smithers as old A Man Who 1 fur-fac- fur-face- ." Shad knew that the request was full of danger, but he felt that he must hear what Bony had to say, even if it involved his dismissal. He asked for permission to spend the night with his friend. Mr. Smithers turned upon him with a vexed look. He never got angry. Do you want to lose your job? he queried, in a tender tone. I am No, sir, Shad answered. not so happy here as I was. But I Id hate to lose the job and your your friendship, sir. You and Mrs. Smithers have been good to me. I guess wed better settle up toTheres a morrow, said the man. lot of talk about you an Bony, but I havent anything against you. I wish you well. Shad went with Bony to his little garret room.

Well just hang on to it an make It go as fur as we can. Weve got a Job to do for ol Bumpy Brown.

First read that He took from his pocket a poster which he had torn from a telegraph pole in Ashfield. It said : "REWARD! I will pay $1,000 for the conviction of the criminal who wounded my wife and killed her father. CYRUS DOOLITTLE. we can make a lot o Maybe If we do, money, Bony went on. well go snacks. IU i tell ye why , it o These two boys had interested the doctor. Because they needed friendship and good counsel the doctor had sought them out He had been like a wise father to Shad. He had told his friends that these boys had good stuff in them. He came now and put his hand on Shads head and gave it a friendly shake. My young friend, I heard you were here, he said. I came over to tell you not to worry. Youll come out all right. He had called to see Mrs. Smithers, ill with sick headache and had learned of Shads dismissal Were going to see if we can get Bumpy Brown out of his trouble, said Some one is trying to put this Shad. murder on him. Bony repeated to the doctor his suspicion of the man with the hat and the circumstances on which it was founded. Im inclined to think you are right, the doctor began. It is a curious case. I think that the officials have been misled by strong probabilities. Now in the case of an amateur, crude, bungling criminal, probabilities may lead to the truth. But when you are dealing with an able offender it is an axiom of the best procedure that you must distrust whatever is probable. It will lead you astray. I think that I know the case of the district attorney. It would seem to be strong enough to hang Bumpy Brown unless The doctor paused. They waited but he sat looking downward gravely and said no more. What are we to do?" Shad asked. Ill tell you what I would do. I hat would follow that down the road tomorrow morning. If it was worn by the criminal, he probably hid the colored handkerchief and perhaps the hat somewhere on or near the road. Look in every hole and under every culvert Examine the fence corners and the crevices in the stone walls. Go and find that hired girl at the Bensons. What kind of a man was it who passed her in the road that night? Did he limp? How was he dressed? Did he wear a hat? Supposing we found . the handkerchief?" Shad asked. Take it to the district attorney with all the information you have been able to gather. You know Colonel Blake. I have heard that he has the revolver and the bullets discharged in committing the crime. If this is true, tell him that you would like to know where the revolver came from. No doubt it came from some store in this part of the country. Who bought it and when? The good man left them. broad-brimm- broad-brimme- (TO BS CONTINUED.) 5 Pile sufferers from Protruding, Bleeding, Itching or Blind Piles, can now get relief from very first treatment by using II Q.R.Pilo Ointment One has to get np a lot of steam to be as Indignant at the age of sixty as at thirty. art thorough bowel ecdoi ton yon feel dizzy, headachy, lions.
