A MAN IN THE 00A0H.
Itr C. t I1IM.UF.TII.
It wn past ten o'clock, iinil one of
the colilcst nights that over blew. Tho
Dmstu enmo roannc tlirounh-ihn mmm

11 uotiiiiein xiaiuisuit ni 110 iltslatit 1110
ttient.
Wrapped in my cloak I lay shivering
in ii winter 01 1110 vctituic, tho sole pas
senger, in tho very wpistt framo of miml.
I was a disappointed and disheartened
man. I was then at tho outset of my
uateer as a detective, young and ambi
tious. Hitherto 1 had been intrusted
with tio ease of impoitauce, but on this
occasion fortuno had thrown a grand
opportunity of making n reputation in
my way,only to llotit me with complete
failttie.
The caso was one of murder, a very
interesting ouo from its complicated
and mysterious character, .Imnes 1'latt,
a well known citizen of N , a vil
lage in Northern Vermont, hnd been
found dead in a pit beside tho very
road 1 was now traveling. There were
marks of violence upon his person,
death having resulted from a heavy
blow wi li a wooden cudgel upon the
back of the head. Robbery could not
havo been tho inotive,siuce a lartro sum
of money was loft untouched in his
pockets. The man was not. known to
have an enemy in tho world, and tho
1110U searching inquiry into his private
history revealed no secret enmity or
quarrel. Tlio onlv iierson in nnv wav
intorohted was his nenhew. Thomas
Ttidson, his only relative and heir-at-law.
This individual had been the Hist
object of my suspicions, unfounded it
should scein. Personally he impiusFcd
nw unfavorably. He was ono of those
rigid formalists who-o verv freedom
from nil of the petty weaknesses of
men is puma facie evidence of the
capability of crimes of greater magni
tude at illlV late in IllV oxnerienen
with humanity. He was a nale faced.
pale-haired, light-eyed and altogether
washed out-looking person, with a -oft
voice and quiet manner, nnd withal in
great favor with the tea drinking gos
sips of N . His past record, so far
as I could get it. was simply perfect.
At the death of his uncle, moreover, he
was known to be in nossession of
several thousand dollars in cash. While
lie was the dead man's heir ho exhibit
ed no impatience to know tlie terms of
his will or lo benefit thereby. On the
contrary, lie seemed to be crushed with
sorrow, and no one lent my efforts to
discover the assassin such ready aid as
lie.
If there had been nnv i.luusihle
doubt it was. to sav tho least, balllnl
by tlio fact that he co'uld, if necessary,
have a nearly perfect alibi. I say,
nt-aily, because there was, t0 mv think
ing, a Haw in it. At a quaitcr to 8 ho
was seen in conversation with the dad
man on the corner of tlio village street,
wuero iney separated, the undo going
down the road toward his home, a
little way out of town, and tho nephew
proceeded to attend a church sociable
at the town church. Ho was kno.vn
lo havo arrived here, certainly, .it.-i
tiarler pasl 8. The evidence as lo
time was doubtful, no ono b"Iug able
lo swear to the exact moment of his
arrival. There wa, however, in my
viow tho nossiblo hiatus of tuontv
minutes, it requiring onlv ten minutes
to reach the church from the
point
whero ho hail last been seen.
It must not bo imamncd that T
gleaned tf'eso fragments' through Jud
son's own testimony. I lis niinio never
i ipeared in connection with tlio a fa r.
and if I hnd ventured to hint at his
pos.sibln eompliuily, I should have b.-eu
hooted out ot thu'villago by his intlis
nant neighbors. Such information as"!
tequiretl was tlnoiigli the medium of
patient and cautious study of all of the
points piveented. When I had sum
mod them up, I had no evidence that
would hold water for a single moment.
I was thus at a standstill, and afiev n
short interval of obstinate waiting I
started for the city, disappointed and
usgusieti.
The coach nassed tho verv snot wlim n
tho deed had been committed, anil as
the vehicle jolted up to the place 1
peered out of tho window to catch a
glimpse of it. At that moment, with
a Heavy thump, the coach stopped, the
oor new open, admitting a second pas
L-iiger, who threw himself into the
corner facing me, and the coach pro
ceeded.
I was some what nstonished that a
passeu'gir should wait for tho coaoh in
uch a place, 'lo sav nothiiirr of tho
uncomfortable uroxiinitv of tho scene
of the mttrder, theto was no dwelling
within a quarter of a mile, and it was
altogether thu most desolate upon tho
road. With thu instinct of my profes
sion, I cMiiniiied my neighbor closely
but cautiously.
There was onlv ono smokv lamn in
thu iuurinr of tho coach, and tho pas-
hunger s.u immediately beneath it in
hu shadow. Ho appeared to be an
ldeilv and rather feeblo norsnnnirp. lmt,
I ciiultl discern littlu more, for ho was
ntillled to the oyus, and his hat was
pulled well down upon his foiohead,
i here was something nainelessly dis
lgreuablo in his presence a feeling of
inward reiiiimiauco and revolt simh as 1
had uevur before experienced, It was'
allied to kiiuIi dread and disgust as on
might involuntarily draw back with
om a peison suH'crimr from an infect-
tious disease. So strong did tho feeling
become that I turned nwav ami hurled
my head in my cloak in tho effort to
forget him, Vresently 1 bocamo uwaio
that ho was gazing at iipj with btrnngu
inieuiiiuss,
In spito of myself, I turned ng'du
and met his o,,o. with my own, and, for
a moment wo sat s tiring straight into
each other's faces. Dining that ino-'
ment a shock passed over me, liko that
of n heavy current of galvanism. My
llesh crept with internal cold, my hair
stood up, and every nervo in my body
thrilled witli something virv liko hoi1.,
ior. " 1
I could not comprehend mv own emo
tions. Why this harmless 'and weak
old gentleman, looking at mo silently
fiom his uoi nor, should havo put mo
into a imnio was moio than my philoso
phy could account for. I could, how
ever, trace my sensations to the str.iu
ger'Hi yes. Though hUd.n bi'iuath his
hat, thoy shone in their hollow sockets
with a deep lurid lustro exactly liko
tho rod glare often seen in tho eyts of
n dog. Ju tho head of a human being
tho elTect was startling beyond descrip
tion, Deterniiiud to overcome my nervous
ness t ventured to break tlio silenco
with a ctMiimonplaeo lemark :
"Very cold this uvciilnir sir,"
Tho stranger made no reply, but con
tinmtl to stare al me ns before. After
a moment of hesitation I made another
attempt.
'Tho snow is likely to block up tho
roads before morning"
Instead of answering in the spirit of
my remark, the stranger, in a hollow,
fnr oir sounding voice, abruptly said:
"Tho murderer of James l'latt has
not yet expiated his crime t"
"No," I replied, "ho has not yet been
discovered."
'O, bund and deluded humanity 1" ho
ciied, with tv sudden vehemence. "Ho
walks among you daily, respected for
his false viitues, laughing in his heart
at your weakness ,'
'What!;' I exclaimed, suddenly for
getting my nervousness in professional
excitement. "Can you give me a clew 7
I am tho detective sent hero to woik up
thu case "
"I know you well," ho interrupted.
"I havo been with you daily witnessing
your labors nnd your disappointment.
Why havo you given over so soon ?
Does not tlio blood of the murdered
man still cry out for vengeance?"
"I have done all lhat ingenuity could
suggest or patience accomplish. I an
swered, in secret nwe. "If von can,
give me a hint as to tho murderer."
"Only to-day you clasped his blood
stained hand in friendly farewell." re
turned the stranger.
"Can you mean 1 Is it ?"
"Yes," interrupted thostif nger, inter
preting my thoughts, "it is Thomas
ludsoii, remorseless, sou ess vill.nn
that ho is I"
"I havo suspected as much myself." I
answered, "but there is no proof "
"ics, ho replied, with startling en
ergy, "prool that will condemn him.'
" hat is it? 1 asked in a suppressed
voice, " ho can mvo it mo ?"
"I," answered he, quickly. "Why else
am I hero ? Listen, and lose not a "word,

of assumed virtue, and dofving the law

"'in iiiiisimuiuai i;ui!i finance tin us
precepts. No man was ever kinder to
the son he loved than was James l'latt
to this man. He, too, was deceived by
his plausible ways, and never until tho
bitter days of his life, did the unfor
tutiato man suspect his evil nephow.
Judbon was secretly a speculator in
unlawful schemes, and in ono of them
was stiipped of nearly all his propetty.
Huin and exposure stared him in tlio
face. Iu this dilemma, instead of tak
ing an honorable course, he forged a
check upon a wealthy business hotisu
and drew tho money." Tho forgery was
discovered by his uncle, who obtained
possession of the. chock aud informed
Judscn of his discovery
"From that moment, finding that ho
could not obtain possession of tlio
check, the evidence of his crime, from
his uncle, Judsou determined upon get
ting lid of him. On tho night of the
murder Judsou nut his victim in tlio
village street and made a final demand
upon him for tho check, which ho sup
posed his undo carried about him. Tho
demand was refused, and James Piatt's
fate was sealed. They separated, the
undo to leturn to his home, and Judsou
to attend a church festival. But before
appealing in Uig house of God ho had
a plan worthy of thu devil to execcute.
"Ho followed cautiously iu tho fool
steps of his victim, meditating thu
safest means of destroying him. Just as
the two entered thu' loneliest pait of
thu road, chance helped him to tho ac
complishment ot his design. A passing
wood sled had lost part of its load. A
large, heavy stick ot timber lay in tho
road a weapon at onco deadly, silent
autl safe. If it were found, it would
merely offer good presumptive evidence
that some traveling vagabond had done
thu deed.
"He suized the club, aud stealing be
hind his uncle, crushed his head witli
ono blow. Ho fell forward on his face ,
without a groan."
Tho stranger paused a moment, as if
overcome with his recital, and sat fau
ing mo iu silence. I, too, was speech
less with wonder, excitement, and I
know not what sensation of horror was
stilling my pulses.
"The murderer then mado a hasty
search of his victim," continued the
stranger. "Tho check was not upon
him. There was no time to waste. Hu
well knew that some ono might puss at
any moment, mid detection under such
circumstances meant sure conviction.
Ho lifted tho body and flung it into a
pit beside the road ami hurried on,
"As hu passed out of tho shadow of
the trees into tho inoonlitrht. ho wns
startled to discover that thu cull' on his
right hand was spattered with blood.
There was no time to wash out the
teniblo evidence. IIu dared not return
homo for a fresh pair, nor in his guilty
terror tlid hu daru secreto it about' him.
"At that moment a sleighing party
came along tho adjoining cross road,
and iu his alarm tho murderer torn off
tho cuff and flung it over tho fence bo
sido thu road.
"It was not until hu had reached tho
church that Judon remembered that
the button iu tho cuff was engraved
with his initials, nnd could bo identified
by a scoro of persons as his property.
Ilo waited in anguish of fear until
after tho body had been found and tho
neighborhood was clear; then ho spent
hours iu search of the lost cuff. Hut
ho nover found It. Tho wiml had
blown it away and it remained hidden
until tho venguaucu of God should, pro
duce It to his ruin."
"That cuff must bu found," I cried
eagerly.
"A hundred yards below tho sceno of
tho murder," said tho stranger solemn
ly, stands a withered pine, a littlo oil'
tlie road. iMitangled in tho roots lies
the cuff, with the blood stain upon it
autl tho button btill fast to it."
"1 will find it to-morrow," I ejacu
lated, "Stay," said tho stranger, "ono last
proof. Tho forged check is in tho right
hand lower drawer of James Piatt's
desk, ntnoug u number of old papers.
With those two proofs you will oxocuto

When 1 reoovcred from the momentary

been dreaming, sir,"
"Yes," I replied, not wishing to dis

Nevertheless, 1 stopped at tho next
village and put up there over night.
Early on the following morning I re

With these two pieces of cvidenco I
procured tho at rest of Thomas .ludson.

State Grange.
At tho ineetinir of tho Stato Grant?o
at Harrisburg last week V. E. Piolette
made a speech, of which tho following
is an extract :
This is our tenth annual meeting of
thu statu organization. You are awaro
that we could uot mako a stato organi
zation until wo had a certain number
of subordinate organizations. Although
we feel that thu farmers havo been
derelict in not embracing this organiza
tion with greater alacrity and read
iness, still wo recognize that wo havo
made commendable progress. Wo
havo awakened those of our own class
to an appreciation of tho importance of
encouraging such intimate social and
bu3inesss rulatioim among ourselves as
would, in a measure, compensate for
tho disadvantage of our comparatively
isolated manner ot life. Wo could not
have farms in tho towns ami cities.
Indeed it has been well said that gen
erally, whero there is a town or city,
there is a good farm spoiled (merri
ment) ; and not only have wo to live iu
the country, but wo have to labor, on
an average, thirteen or fourteon hours
of tho twenty-fo'ir. It seems that it is
impossiblo for a farm establishment to
bo conducted without this extraordina
ry amount of labor an expenditure of
effort not common to any of tho iudus
trienof the countiy other than our own.
This is accounted for not only upon
iho fact alluded to by tho gentleman
w ho preceded me, that ours is the
greatest fountain fiom which all the
channels of tiado emanate and from
which alt the industries annually re
ceivo their recruits not only do wo
constitute thu great corservativo reser
voir which serves to keep society in or
der but wo tako care of tho flocks and
herds. Tho whole animal creation de
pends upon our toil and euro and it is
jiuito as much of a task to rear them ns
it is to nutture our own species Here
in wo Inn o a labor audi osponsibility that
do not coinu within the purview of any
other industry ; and when listening to
remarks such as wero uttered by the
gentleman who pn ceded me, I feel
that thu grange, in its progress, is in
deed leaving tho imprint of its influ
ououupon our own times' Applause-
Wo have, this j ear, added to our
numbers more than ono thousand incut
hers. Otio thousand farmers who had
nut or before come within our grange
have agreed to its secret formula nnd
aro satislied ami pleased with its pur
posts. Wo propose to go on increas
ing and we propose, moreover, ns we
progress, to meet boldly every exigen
cy that arises. This leads mu to en
quire, what is it, farmers, that stands
in our way what is the evil from
which wo seek relief. It is tho samo
that has mado thu task of tho farmer
an onerous ouo in all ages of civiliza
tion. It is tho evil of unequal repre
sentation ami its immediate nnd con
sequent result.uncqtinl taxation, It is tho
story of every government that has had
an existence, that its burdens have
been thrown upon tho agricultural
class and that this class has been un
reasonably and unfairly dealt with.
This lias In on dono by tho
force of law. It ha3 been dono nr.
bitrarily nnd by no better warrant than
that by which it was attempted to
foioo tho American colonies into sub
jection to a distant and foreign govern
ment. When wo investigate the condi
tion of tho agricultural classes of tho
world nuil particularly of, that class iu
our own country, wo find that thero
nro laws upon our statute books which
nro not snnctioned by any principle
known to republican government or
enunciated in tho creation of freo gov
eminent. Wo therefore mean to agi
tato this question, and, by our voico
and by what is more potential, by our
votes, to teach all other classes that
wo must bo allowed to stand upon a
broad plane of equality with every
indmti v and with every other class of
our fellow citizens. Enthusiasm.

laws. Wo mako no war upon any

demand justice and equality before thu

edge of a wet meadow. Tho meadow-
is covered with tadpoles cany in tno

The Best Oows.
Thero is no point iu issue between
the breeders of dairy cattle about
which there is such a diversity of
opinion as that of judging tho merits
of milch cows. With horses the watch
makes tho criterion with runners and
trotters, while draft animals cap bo
tested by the dead pull, and carriago
or pork horses need most to please tlio
eye. With beef cattlo tho scales and
handling generally give very good
satisfaction, thougll tho butchers' block
should bo the ultimate criterion.
When, however, wo como to cows in
milk to determine which is the best,
thero aro so many innate or latent vir
tues and vices it is hard indeed to tell
which is tho best in a herd without
long and patient study, aud even then
they vary so in each year's perform
ance, the decree of ono season is often
overruled by tho experiences of an
other. In the showing, of course tho exam
ination upon which tho judges must
rely is of necessity the mot super
ficial. To bo Btire, tho cow can bo
milked, and tho question as to which
is the best when fresh, may be, wilh
proper precautions against trickery,
tolerably well determined, but after
all, the best co.v is not tho one lhat
does best immediately after calving,
but, on the contrary, it is generally tho
ono that does best immediately befoio
calving. Tha is, the ono that holds
out best throughout tho year, is tho
ono that returns greater profits to the
owner. This is often proved by actu
al experiment to tho utter amazement
of the owner, especially tho first season
that tho owner uses tho scales. It is
tho old story of tho loitoisu nnd the
hare.
Again, tho question of quality of
yield is of tho greatest value only to
the man who sells milk, whilu tho but
ter maker is more anxious about thu
cream. This point is difficult to de
termine on a shot t acquaintance with
the cow. Practical science seems un
able to solve tho problem. Cream
gauges and lactometers alike nro mis
leading. Nothing but the churn
seems to be able to settle the question
outside of elaborato and oxpensivu
analyses. Having tried all tho modern
appliances for cheap aud expeditious
tests, wo aro inclined lo think the
mouth tho best judge, after all. With
caro and considerable practico most
people can tell rich milk when they
taste it, though thero ato many way's
to deceive tho tongue. Milk that hits
stood long enough for tho cream to
riso and ' is then thoroughly mixed
again, will all tasto much richer than
it would when Hint drawn from tho
cow. This is probably owing to tho
lumpiuess of tho cream, which takes
hold on the organs of taste more read
ily. Tho men who havo probably had
tho greatest trouble and accomplished
the least in tho matter of testing or
judging nro those who manage the
various cattlo club s. A meriemi
