"But I tell you there wasn't no pack age In the safe." the otti<er declared positively. "1 was there two seconds after she popped, an' they didn't nave a chance to touch a thing.

Mr. Holt, the cashier, is the only persou to whom the combination is known." "Looks like you are right, though I wouldn't ha' thought it of Jimmy," the sheriff agreed sadly. "We'd better go look him up." Holt's boarding place lay on the fur ther side of the Manning cottage, and as the sheriff and Peterson hurried to ward it they observed Jimmy standing at the Manning gate chatting gayiy with Elsie aud the now entirely recov ered Lord Cecil. "The safe was blown open last night, Jimmy," the sheriff announced reluc tantly. *'l know the payroll money wasn't in it. and Mr. Peterson says ynti tnust have removed It. you bein the only one who could open the safe."

He stopped the sheriff with a gesture. "I rather think, y' Know, that Mr. Peterson has the money in his pocket, Mr. Sheriff, he said quietly. For an Instant Peterson stared wild 'y at this unexpected accuser, while ;ianic tore at his brain "Oh, I am glad—glad!" the eirl cried and clung closer to iter sweet heart. With a snarl of fright and rage I'eier soti leaped back, drawing his revolver. "Rut I'll get you. if I hang for it'" he screamed, and leveled bis weapon. With blazing eyes Elsie strove to cov er the body of her sweetheart with her own. The revolver cracked murder ously. but the bullet sped futilel.v to ward the sky. As the assassin's linger had tightened on the trigger Lord Cecil had sprung forward and caught his wrist with a steel like grasp An in stant later the smoking revolver had been twisted from Peterson's hand. "Ton might, ah. remove this person, Mr Sheriff." Cecil suggested, "but. to make sure, if you will permit me"— he slipped his hand inside the cont of the now cringing man and produced a brown packet, which he handed to the sheriff with a smile "If yon think it worth while to open it yon will find my surmise was cor rect." he added Then suddenly tx«e dom settled upon him like a fog.

WEIGHT OF AIR One Cubic Foot of Atmosphere Weighs More Than an Ounce The common belief that air weighs nothing or almost nothing, a belief which has given rise the simile "light as air," needs correction. A toy balloon filled with a cubic, foot of air weighs 564 grains more than the same balloon collapsed. This shows that the weight of a cubic foot of air is 564 grains, which is a good deal more than an ounce. Accordingly a small room (15 by 15 by 10), contain ing 2,250 cubic feet of air would weigh 2,900 ounces, or 183.7 pounds avoirdu pois, as much as a large man. Could you life a room full of air? The air in an automobile tire under pressure of 150 pounds a square inch weighs proportionally ten times a* much, while air under the pressure of fifty atmospheres weighs fifty times as much as an equal volume of ordinary air. When air is liquefied its volume is reduced to one sixteen-hundredth normal, so that the liquid is 1,600 times as heavy a 9 gaseous air, or about as heavy as water. —St. Liouis Post Dis patch.

Grauel Let Us Go Fishing Uncle Sam lias condemned our meats, warned us against using potatoes in quantities, and declared that poultry and eggs are infected from chickens being exposed to cattle diseases. But so far as we know he still permits us to eat tisli in peace. How long this good food will be loft us we can only guess but we can have it now in safety so let's do. So far as the wholesomeness of fish is concerned it seems to occupy the middle ground between the meat and the vegetarian diet. Because fish is almost bloodless and lacks the juices of meats it does not stimulate as meat does. But fish contains chemical salts that are as useful as the properties of meat so that it is as good as meat for the work man or the invalid. Though fish satisfies bodily needs it does not fatten; racing men wishing to reduce weights arc given fish in pref erence to other foods. For the family table the absence of certain elements in fish is met by adding rich sauces or other articles of food. Small fish are best fried, after being dredged with flour and seasoned. A good way to do is to fry rashers of bacon first and then cook the fish in the remaining fat. Use the bacon for the garnish. Do not let the fish remain long in the fat but dish them as soon as done. Fish should be cooked rather slowly and very well done. Ten minutes is the time allowance for the small ones of a pound each. Some fish have a rare and ethereal flavor that is all their own. Mountain trout, shad. and fresh water fish are BARES SCHMIDT'S PLOTS Story of Four Schemes to Escape Chair Used in Fighting Motion for New Trial New York, Dec. 12.—Supreme Court ; Justice Davis has reserved his decision after hearing arguments for a new trial for Hans Schmidt, the convicted murderer of Anna Aumuller. He was told by Acting District Attorney Dcle lianty, who appeared in opposition to the motion, that Schmidt had invented four stories in an effort to save him self from the electric chair. Mr. Delc lianty said that Schmidt admitted that he shammed insanity, that being his de- I fense to the murder charge. A prisoner in the Tombs started in ; an affidavit that Schmidt had discusse<l the four plans with him. One scheme J was to put the entire blame for the j killing on Bertha Zech, a young ser vant girl who was in the employ of Finest Muret, a dentist, now in the ' penitentiary at Atlanta for counter i feiting. Another plan was to send Bertha | Zech out of the country to a land where there is 110 extradition treaty with the United (States. It was suggested that she would there make a statement to the United States Consul that she had performed a criminal operation on Anna Aumuller, thereby causing death, and exonerating Schmidt, of the charge. The third plan was for another man I to go to a foreign land and there take j the blame for the crime, and the fourth t was to get Bertha Zech to throw the : entire blame on Dr. Arnold [<eo, who at the trial of Schmidt admitted that he had once examined Anna Aumuller. According to Mr. Delehantv all of these schemes failed because the Zech girl would not take the part assigned to her. Schmidt in trying to induco her to aid him is alleged to have writ ten: "I prefer to think more of woman's generosity than of their truth. My ! life is in your hands." Miss Zech showed the letter to the j District Attorney. She later saw I Schmidt at Sing Sing and denied that she had anything to do with the mur der of Anna Aumuller. A Worm in Paganini's Violin When Paganini died he bequeathed j his violin, a superb Guarnerius, to his native town of Genoa with instruc tions that it was to be "preserved per petually." In 1907 fears were enter tained that a woodworm was wreak ing damage to the instrument, and a special commission of experts was ap pointed by the municipality of Genoa to examine and report on its condition. The commission decided that the wood- Isuch and they should be cleaned, cooked |and served as soon as possible after >they are caught to preserve this lovely flavor. They are best broiled. A broiler lof wire that folds is very good for broiling fish and can be used on any flame. A strong one can be had for ten cents. Rub the wires with a little fat, broil the fish and salt it; spread it over with butter and squeeze on a few drops of lemon juice as you eat it. 'The thickness of the fish and the sort of I fire you have will decide how long to cook the fish. j There are some men housekeepers in this town who love to go fishing and J will go as soon as the season is open, jl have something for them if they will send a stamped envelope for it, and that is a sure-enough thing to make fish bite. I .lust now some of us must be satis fied with salted and smoked fish. As jthe Finnan Haddics are in, all moist and | pungent from their smoke bath, this is I not hard. Beside there is the freshly j opened keg of salt mackerel and the jnew shipments of canned tunny fish ami [Salmon to draw on. As long as the fish supplies hold out we will not worry jover a little thing like a shortage of I beef, milk, potatoes and eggs. [ If you cook the smoked huddie, first warm it a little in the oven and the skin will peel off like a glove, then you can cream it, or broil it. There is a knack about freshening mackerel, too, that I will just have time to tell you about. It is, always lay this salted fish flesh side down when soaking it in water; if it is skin side down the salt cannot get out of it. worm was nonexistent. The preseni-a of the worm is now fully established, and the Genoese are greatly excited lest this memento of one of Genoa '* most illustrious sons should ho ruined. It is statod by experts that the worm will not make inroads in a violin which is regularly played, as it is expelled by the constant vibration. A New Disease Professor Krich Harnack, the famous Jena pharmacist, announces the dis i covery of a new disease. It is a sort of chronic copper poisoning which J may prove fatal. It is caused by j bridge work on the teeth. Some of this work which was examined show ed that only one-third was gold and the rest other metals, especially cop per. This resulted in slow poisoning, nervous collapse and general decay. I Professor Harnack warns peoplo , j against this inferior alloy, saying that, ,| it is even more dangerous than pure jcopper or zinc.—New York 81111.
