A MYSTERY SOLVED,
CV niCItAHD DOWLISO.
"Hallo, Bracken!" said I, ono
brisk April afternoon, as I saw my
friend tho detective leaning against
the parapet, liko idlest loafor alive,
"who would havo thought of meeting
you on Loudon Bridge?"
"Como hero, Mr. unll," said ho,
catching my arm. and drawing mo to
his side. "Do you know that I havo
this morning solved tho mystery of
that." IIo pointed to tho burnt out
shell of a great wharf on tho Middle
sex sido of the river not far from tho
bridge.
"What!" I cried, "solved tho mys
tery of tho great Thames street flro!
First of all tell mo what the mystery
waa, for candidly I do not know; and
thon tell mo how you solved it, for by
that timo I shall bo dying to hear."
"Let us step into tho recess and get
out of tho pooplo's way," said ho.
"You saw, of course, in tho pa
pers," said he, "Schoflcld's w harf had
boon burnt down, and that there was
no way of accounting for tho fire."
"Unfortunately, Brackon," said I,
"my newspaper reading for tho past
week or ten days has been absolutely
nothing ; but I saw on tho placards
something about a 'Great Conflagra
tion iu Thames street.' "
"Thon I supposo I must tell you all
about it," snid Bracken, with a sigh
of resignation. "Well," ho went on,
strotchiug across tho stone sent of the
recess and resting his elbows on tho
parapet, "last Saturday afternoon Mr.
Tomilson, who owns Scholleld's
Wharf, locked tho Towor street door
at 2 o'clock and from that timo until
4 o'clock on Monday morning, when
the plaoo waa found in flames, that
door was not opened by him or any
body else. There are two doors, to
bo sure, bnt the other ono on the wa
ter can be opened only from the in
side, and when tho firemen pot on the
spot the river door showed no signs of
having been tampered with, although
tho flro seemed to have originated in
the rear of the building. At the rear
of the building wero a few bales of
jute, and at first Mr. Tomilson said he
snpposod they had heated, bnt,
strange to toll yon, they were found
uninjured savo by water, aud wero
about tho only thing iu tho building
which escaped.
"Schoficld's was very heavily in
sured, aud on Monday peoplo begun
to sny it was a good thing for Mr.
Tomilson it had gone up the flue, as
his affairs were in a bad way.
"By Tuosdoy morning the bad ru
mors got stronger, and peoplo whis
perod that the cause of the burning
ought to bo looked for in Tomilsou's
difficulties "
"Iu fiiot, that he Lad set fire to the
place," said I.
"Well, yes," suid Bracken, petu
lautly, "but they did not put it in
those words exactly j maybe I'd tell
my story just as quickly, if I told it
my own way. "
. "Then by all means go on your own
way. I will not interrupt again,"
said I, sitting upon the parapet, with
my feet on the stone seat
'Tuesday evening I was called in.
It was plainly put to me that there
were strong suspicions in tho case,
and I was told that it would be made
very well worth my while if I found
out all about it. You ,kuow that in
surance companies will hardly ever
set the law in motion ; here they
could hot but do something, the crime
was so glaring "
"You oould not expect it to be
otherwise than glaring," said I "with
such a blaze."
Bracken shot n glance of scorn at
me, but took no further notice of my
interruption.
"The first thing I did was to find
out all I could nbont Tomilson. His
home was at Putney. To Putney I
went. I discovered he lived quietly in
ft dull road, a conplo of hundred yards
from tho river. Ho is a childless
widower of forty-five. He never saw
any company, and his household con
sisted of himself, an old housekeeper
and ono maid servant On week days
he never made more use of his I'ntney
houso than to sleep and eat breakfast
in it. Even on Saturdays he did not
como Loino nntil it was timo for bed.
In summer he spent a good deal of his
leisure ou tho Thames, but had no
boat of his own, nlways hiring one of
old Greenfoll, tho boatmau.
"Littlo timo as Tomilson devoted to
Futnoy, ns a rule, thoy told mo ho
spent less than usual thore that week j
for tho maid servant had gono homo
on Friday to Hertfordshire to sco her
mother, who was ill, aud Tomilson
hnd given his housekeeper A holiday
from Saturday to Monday to visit her
innrried daughter, he saying ho would
himself spend from Saturday to Mon
at Brighton.
"Now, many men without families
nro in tho habit ot going to Brighton
from Saturday to Monday, but ho was
not ono of these. Iu fact, his visiting
Brighton was a most unusual event j
and for years ho had not done any
thing of tho kind. This sot mo think
ing aud inquiring further and more
closely about Tomilsou's manner of
accounting for his timo. Ho hnd
given out that ho wont to Brighton by
tho G. loon Saturday and ca mo back
by tho 8.30 on Monday morning. I
made sure that ho had not boon seen
at Fntncy from Saturday to Monday
night, when ho went home after tho
fire.
"Tomilson told them in Thames
street that ho hud stopped at the Boli
var in Brighton, so I took a littlo trip
for myself down to tho sea, and drop
ped into the Bolivar. At tho hotel
it is a big one, as you Uuow I found
out thnt ho had been thero from Satur
day tight to Monday morning accord
lug to tho books, for ho had paid for
his bod on Sunday night and breakfast
next day. I lounged about aud found
a chatty chambermaid wuo said that
although tho bod was rumpled she did
not think my man had slept iu it on
Sunday night Then I met a waiter
who would, in tho ordinary course,
have served Mr. Tomilsou's breakfast
ou Monday morning, aud who could
not remember having served him or
seeing him that day.
"Tomilson was not known,' iu
Brighton, and I lost all traco of him
thero tho moment I put my foot out
sido tho hotel However, tho facts I
had picked up put an idea iu my head,
and I camo buck to Loudon aud went
on to Putney ouco more aud dropped
in on old Oreenfell. Of course, the
boating season has not begun yet for
him. I found him doing some var
nishing in expectation of tho season,
and fell into chat with him.
"Ho had not seen Tomilson for
weeks months. It was of him the
tea merchant always hired boats iu the
season, but Tomilson would not be
likely to take to the river for a month
or six weeks yet. . Greeufoll had noth
ing but good to say of Tonilson, and
was very indignant at the rumors re
specting the fire in Thf.mes Htreet.
'Why,' said Greenfoll, 'the mon
was fifty miles away at the time the
fire broko out'
" 'S'j I have heard.' I said. Green
fell had no notion I was a dotuctivc.
I had come moroly to see about a boat
for next Sunday.
" 'They tell mo," tald old Oreenfell,
'that tho fire began at the rivor side.
Well, I'll tell you a curious thiug.
Sunday night or Monday morning ono
of my boats, a pair oar, was taken by
some one who did not say "By
your leave.or pay a penny. " '
"I wai all atteutioa ujw, you
may be sure.
"Whoever borrowed tho boat
brought it baok all right, and nothing
tho worso if it wasu't for a stenoh of
paruffiu. Whoever had tho boat must
have upset his lamp iu it'
" 'Which boat was it?' I asked.
" 'That one there' said Oreenfell,
pointing.
" 'Has anyone used it since?' I said.
" 'No. It's not fit for hire. I must
wash it well out before I let anyone
have it'
"I got into the boat aud found even
still a smell of purutllu. I lifted up
tho stem sheets. , There was a little
wuter iu the boat, and in the water I
found this." .
'Brsoken handed me a brokon link
of a gold watch chain. ' 'l slipped
the link into my pocket," he went ou,
"without saying onj thing to Oreenfell
about it, and in a few minutes was ou
my way to Thames street As I went
I examined the link. It was a long H
loop, flattenod and marked 18 carats.
"When I got to Schofiold's Wharf I
asked for a private intorviow with Mr.
Tomilson. Ho did not kuow who
Bracken was, and saw me at once. 1
told him I was a detective put on th
job, as it was feared somo of his men
had flrod tho placo out of spito. 1
said :
" 'Mr. Tomilson, I have a theory as
to how this 11 ro arose I think tho
man who did tho job borrowed a boat
from old Oreenfell, of Futnoy, with
out saying anything about it to Green
folL I think ho hnd a few gallons of
paraffin, and that ho just lot the oil
flow In under tho river door and thon
et flro to it. Muiejvcr, if I could
only put my hand on a man who wore
A watch chain with links like thnt i
could put my hand ou tho man who lit
tho blaze.'
"I placed tho broken link on th)
desk before Tomilson and looked at
him for tho first timo. Ho mndo a
clutch nt wliv-ro his watch chain ought
to lie, but ho was not wearing ouo. IIo
fell back iu his chair and gasped aud
turned deadly white. Ho triod to
speak, bnt no word came. I picked
up tho broken link and left him. That
was at noon today. Tomilson is now
out of tho couutry. No claim will be
mudo upon tho insurance companies,
and tomorrow Tomilson will bo known
as nu absconding bankrupt."
"And," said I, getting down off tho
parapot of tho b:ld?o, "will no at
tempt bo mndo to bring tho scouudrol
to justice?"
"I think not," said Bracken. New

"Very few peoplo understand how
corks nro made or whero cork trees
grow," said a wiuo tout tho other
evening in a Broadway cafe. "Of
Cottrso I understand all bi-auches of
tho business," tho corkclogist wont
on. "The cork tree on nu avcrago
lives 100 years, and its average height
is 23 or 80 feet. It is a nativo of the
Mediterranean basin, in Northern
Africa, Corsica, Southern France aud
tho Siberian Peninsula. It doos not

Thcso trees nro very rare aud consid

A maker of corks had obtained per
mission to strip tho trees of their
bark. Tho cork troo is valuod for its
bark; the best tima to strip it is iu
July or August Tho outer bark of
t'.io troo is first stripped when it is
about twenty-five yonrs old. This re
moval of tho rough bark, or outer
skin, as some would call it, causes a
growth of finer quality. This requires
about eight or uino years, and tho
quality improves with each successive
stripping. So you will sue that the
cork tree, as well as man, changes its
skin iu about tho samo number of

The Vitality of Men.
Thero aro two parts of tho human
organism, Dr. Balfour tells us, which
if wisely used "largely escapes senile
failure." Thcso two are tho brain and
tho heart. Persons who have often
wondered why brain workers, great
statesmen and others, should continue
to work with almost unimpaired men
tal activity and energy up to a period
when most of tha organs and func
tions of the body are iu a condition of
advanced senilo decay, Thero is a
physiologicul roason for this, and Dr.
Balfour tells us what it is. Thu nor
mal brain, he affirms, "remaius vigor
ous to tho last," aud that "bucau-ie its
nutrition is specially provided for."
Who is there among those who have
reached or passod middle ago that will
not be rejoiood to find such admirable
physiological warrant for the belief
that tho brain may continue to work
and even to improve almost to the
very last hour of life? As iu the case
of the brain, thuro seems to be excel
lent physiological warrant for tho con
clusion that coateris paribus the aged
heart sucooeds to, at auy rate, a rela

cate luces to the cleaning of heavy
blankets; also the bust muthod of re
moving stains, starching, ironing,
etc.
Try hanging the tablcoloths and
linen sheets ono-hulf or two-thirds
thoir length over tho line, without uso
iug clothes pins, uuless absolutely
necessary; us rough clothes pins iu
careless bauds will often ruin delicate
fabrics.
Try to have the damask ironed so
that tho pattoru will be clear aud dis
tinct, sometimes shines like satin, but
more often it tcurcely shows the pat
tern at all. It takes a "moderate"
iron and an even pressure to do it
properly. Too hot or too oold an iron
never does good work.
Try sprinkling dulioatowash dresses
with thisguiu water when it becomes
necessary to i ron them in the oourse
of wearing, when they have not been
washed. For mixing with the starch
for the white clothes, use about a
tablespoonful of gum water to a pint
of the warm, boiled starch.
