Cottage Re-searched The sun was hardly up over the Cornish hills before the Yard men were re-searching the dead man's cottage fore possible clues.

Coroner's Remark The only relative of- the dead man present was George Edmund Wakefield, of Scotter, Lincolnshire, who said that his grandfather and Mr. Roadley's mother were broth- er and sister. The jury was com- posed of local farmers. But for a single question the proceedings might have passed un- eventfully, That question was when Dr. Holtby, after describing the old man's injuries, was asked by Detective-Isnpector Prothroe wheth- er he had seen an instrument which might have caused death. "We do not want to go into that question yet," said the coroner, explaining that by the amended Coroner's Act the matter would be raised in the Police Court. FOUR MINERS ARE REPORTED DEAD Explosion Occurs in Penn- sylvania Mine--Six Men Escape Greensburg, Pa., April 16.-- Four miners were reported dead following an explosion in the Hut- chinson mine of the Westmoreland Coal Co. Ten men were said to have been in the mine at the time and six escaped. The United States Bureau of Mines which sent rescue crews to the mine made known that fire had broken out in the workings, but that the extent of the flames was undetermined. The blast occurred just after some 200 miners had completed the day shift of duty. Three men, brought out by rescue workers were reported in a serious condi- tion, but were expected to recov- er. Three others walked out assist- ed. Two bodies were recovered. It was not until a number of hours after the blast that news of the occurrence became generally known, even in the immediate vi- cnity of the mine. Mine officials continued reluctant to discuss the explosion. AB.O makes bathtubs gleaming white . . .

EO eS (Chapter XXIX Continued) Then, with a manner and voice that was apparently normal, he said, "Did I ever tell you about how I got that patented process of mine, Wallace?" The Interpreter knew by his use of that name, so sel- dom heard in these later years, that Adam's mind was back In the old days when, with Pete Martin, they had worked side by side at the same bench in the Mill' Hoping to calm him, old basket maker returned indifferently, "No, Adam, I don't remember that you ever told me, but don't you think some other time would be better perhaps than to-night? It is get- ting late and you n The other interrupted with a wave of his hand. "Oh, that's all right. It's safe enough to talk about it now. Besides," he added, with a cunning leer, "nobody would believe you if you should tell them the truth. You're nothing but a crazy old basket maker and I am Adam Ward, don't forget that for a minute." He glared threatening ly at the man in the wheel chair, and the Interpreter, fearing anoth- er outburst, said, soothingly, "Cer- tainly, Adam, I understand, I will not forget." 'With the manner of one relating an interesting story in which he himself figured with great person- al credit, Adam Ward sald: "It was Pete Martin, you see, who actually discovered the new proc- ess. But, luckily for me, IT was the first one he told about it. He had worked it all out and I per- suaded him not to say a thing to any one else until the patents were secured. Pete didn't really know the value of what he had. But I knew--I saw from the first that it would revolutionize the whole bus!- ness, and I knew it would make a fortune for the man that owned the patents, "Pete and 1 were pretty goed friends in those days, but friend- ship don't go far in business. I never had a friend in my life that I couldn't use some way. 8o I had Pete over to my house every eve- ning and made a lot over him and talked over his mew process and made suggestions how he should handle it, until finally he offered to give me a half interest if I would look after the business details. That of course, was exactly what I was playing for. And all this time, you see, I took mighty good care that not a soul was around when Pete and I talked things over. So we fixed it all up between us -- with no one to hear us, mind you--that we were to share equally-~half and half--in whatever the new process brought. "After that, I went ahead and got all the patents good and tight and then T fixed up a nice little document for Pete to sign. But I waited and I didn't say a word to Pete until one evening when he and his w!fe were studying and figuring out the plans for the house they were going to build. I sat and planned with them a while until I saw how Pete's mind was all on his new house, and then all at once T put my little document. down on the table in front of him and sald, 'By the way, Pete, those patents will he coming along pretty soon and I have had a little contract fixed up just as a matter of form ~you know how we planned it all. Here's where you sign----"" Adam Ward paused to laugh with document without even reading a line of it and went on with house planning and figuring as If nothing had happened. But something had happened--something big had hap- pened. Instead of the way we had planned it together when we were talking alone with nobody to wit- ness it, Pete signed to me outright for one dollar all his rights and interests in that new patented pro- cess." Again the madman laughed tri- umphantly, "Pete never even found out what he'd done until nearly a year later. And then he wouldn't believe it until the lawyers made him. He couldn't do any- thing of course. I had it sewed up too tight. That process is mine, I tell you--mine by all the laws In the country. What if I did take advantage of him! That's business. A man ought to have sense enough to read what he puts his signature to. You don't catch me trusting anything he puts before me with- out reading it. Why--why--what are you crying for?" Adam Ward was not mistaken-- the Interpreter's eyes were wet with tears. The sight of the old basket mak- er's grief sent the insane man off on another tangent. "Don't you worry about me. Helen and John and their mother worry a lot about me. They think I'm going to hell." He sprang to his feet with a hoarse in articulate cry. "They'll never get me into hell! God has got to keep His contracts and U've fixed it all up so He'll have to save me whether He wants to or not. The papers are all signed and every- thing. My lawyer has got them in his safe. God can't help Himself You told me I'd better do it and 1 have, I'm not afraid to meet Gon' now! I'll show Him just like ° showed Pete." He rushed from the room arc abruptly as he had entered. The Interpreter heard him plunging down the stairs. The roar of his automobile died away in the dis- tance. In an early morning extra edl- tion, the Millsburgh Clarion an- nounced the death of two of the most prominent citizens. James McIver was killed in the explosion that burned his factory. Adam Ward's body was found in a secluded corner of his beautiful estate. He dled by his own hand. The cigar-store philosopher put his paper down and reached into tne show case for the box that the judge wanted. "It looks like Meclver played the wrong cards in his little game with Jake Vodell," he remark ed, as the judge made a careful se- lection, "I am afraid so," returned the judge, The postmaster took a handful from the same box and said, as he dropped a dollar on the top of the show case, "I see Sam Whaley has confessed that the blowing up of the factory was all set as part of their program. The plan was to wreck the Mill first then Meclver's place. Where do you suppose Jake Vodell got away to?" "Hard to guess," said the judge. The philosopher put the proper change before them. "There's one thing sure--the people of these here United States had better get good and busy findin® out where he fs." It was significant that neither the philosopher nor his customers mentioned the passing of Adam insane glee. 'Pete did just what I knew he'd do--he signed that Ward, (To be continued.)

There is a cer- tain type of man, and he is large- ly in the majority, who never loves a woman. He may write sonnets and present diamond bracelets and languish and sigh, but all this while truly absorbed in oniy one person--himself. A few men in history have be- come immortal because they lovea one woman with a great devotion. They deserve to be remembered. forever, if only because their ace tions were so far removed from the behavior of the average male as to be truly noteworthy.

The differ- :nce between the cost of power in Toronto and Clinton, for example, is well known, Professor Sisson notes that the rate in Toronto pe kilowatt hour is two cents and th rural rate in the county of Yor, is fifteen cents, Assuming thst the former shares the ownershfp of the Niagara waters and haps shared as well in providing the capital for development and d)s- tribution, it is not a satisfactory justification of this inequality to allege the mere difference in the cost of distribution.

'ghout each field of distribution. at is, Toronto, for instance, ough. to pay such rates as would enable similar rates in the townships and remote towns. That is, the electricity it- self ought to be so priced as to overcome the differences fin the cost of distribution. Shocking as this view may seem, it has in principle been adopted by the legislature in a most inequitable way, It pays half the cost of a rural distribution, for which halt the province receives nothing at all. Even this aid is enjoyed by few farmers, Professor Sissons says, at all events, that he doubts, if ten thousand of the consumers taking power from the rural lines are farmers, The users seem to be, for the most part, villagers, THE RETORT COURTEOUS | (Hamilton Herald) | Premier Taschereau®s comment on a remark of Miss Agnes Mac- phall, that it was "the thoughtless utterance of a young girl," comes under the head of the retort court- eous, ECHO FROM OTHER DAYS |!

Photographer Declares That Legal Celebrities Easily Distinguished | London-- (By Mail)--I5 it pos- sible--without being a Sherlock Holmes--to tell a man's profession by his face? That there is, at least a legal face, legible almost as a parch- ment, seems apparent from an ex- hibition of legal celebrities at the Royal Photography Society. Mr. Walter Thomas, the photo- grapher, who is also an artist, does not believe in posing his sitters, and has thus caught them all in some characteristic pose. So lifelike are they that one, indeed, gets the unhappy impres- sion of being under cross-examin- ation, The features vary from the sharp eagle face of Viscount Fin- lay to the placid and philosophic Lord Haldane; from Lord Birken- head, intellectually aloof, to the dispassionate incisiveness of Sir John Simon. Yet one would almost know without the robes and wigs that here, indeed, was a collection of famous lawyers. Mr. Thomas, to whom I put the question (writes a correspondent) replied: -- "Yes, there is, with certain li- mitations, a legal face.

There is practically no waiting for Long Distance connections nowadays, if you give the operator the distant number. She makes the connection usually while you hold the line. If you don't know the distant number, and the Long Distance operator has to look it up for you, it naturally takes a little longer.

Montreal, April 16.--The dang- ers of having privacy invaded by a telephone device is not very great, according to Dr. Robert King of the Bell Telephone Com- pany, who addressed the Montreal Branch of the Engineering Insti- tute on the subject of television. Dr. King dispelled some of the popular illusions on the subject in response to some remarks from J. T. Farmer, Dr. King sald that for the pres- ent the transmission of moving plc- tures events as they are actually taking place is confined to grey tones instead of colors, but the transmission of colors will be pos- sible also. High expense is involved in the sending of a large field of view, he said, for instance a boxing ring or a field where a game is in pro- gress, As many as a thousand pairs of wires might be necessary in order to accomplish thig, but just for a head and shoulders the equivalent of 10 phones would suffice. The sending of sporting events is the most promising field for the use of television, Dr. King thought. In television, H. M.
