“There was some purpose distinctly
criminal connected with the yellow
letters," he said, as If for the first
time aware of my presence, nnd be-
coming as loquacious as he had before
been silent. “When we have' run this
mystery to earth we will find that
there are two of the criminals—ponljr
two guilty.”
"Guilty of what?" I asked In amaze-
ment.
”1 haven’t the slightest idea as yet,"
he replied with Buch apparent frank-
ness that I suspected he was not tell-
ing me all his thought. “Evil IdeaB
are of three kinds—the solitary, the
pair, the group. Crimes are merely
the physical expression of evil ideas
and bear the same classification. The
solitary evil Idea manifests Itself In
a variety of crimes. In this class be-
long defalcations, poisonings, crimes
against women and generally the as-
sassination of private Individuals.
These are the hardest crimes to dis-
cover and punish. The evil Idea Is not
communicated. This sort of criminal
seldom hns confidants. Ofien, in lact
almost always, he masks bis villainy
behind the clonk of respectability.
Most of these offences are.due to mu-

Jlust.rlous names. j attributable to money-lust. In such
crimes as burglary, highway robbery,
blackmail, you will find two persons
equally guilty, always the pair. Some-
times It Is the man and tho woman,
somotlines the strong man and the
weak man, sometimes two women,
though seldom, for women have little
uf the Inventive or creative faculty,
even In crime. Notorious women erfm-
Inals, Just like all other feminine ce-
lebrities tn literature or art, have
much of the masculine In their make-
up.
“The third kind of evil idea, that of
the group, is responsible for the
strike, the mob, the conspiracy. It is
the contagion of crime. The Black
Hand Is a typical example. The mem-
bers of- this notorious organization,
while they profit financially by their
misdeeds, care little about that end
of It. Their greatest pleasure Is In
the torture of their victims, tn the
agony they Buffer from the time the
nameless dread of.the Black Hand
first seizes them until finally they are
put to death for refusing the society's
exactions. It Is this evil spirit that
kills kings, burns witches, destroys
property and lynches negroes. The
Farrlsh mystery, however. Is of the
second clnss—the crime of the pair
I am certain of It."
* “The Important thing then for us
to do,” said I, trying to bring him
from the abstract to the concrete, “Is
to find Hugh Crandall and also to dis-
cover who was his closest associate—
man or woman.”
"Do you think so?” he asked enig-
matically, adding a second later,
"Can’t you take me to see Miss Far-
rlsh?"
Hardly another word passed be-
tween us as the taxicab whirled us up
Madison avenue to the general’s home.
I was thinking about Davis' strange
theories of crime and his opinion that
this was a crime of the pair. 1 felt
sure that he, as well as I, must be
convinced of Crandall’s connection
with the matter and surely his flight
did not argue Innocence. But If this
was a crime of the pair, who was the
other guilty person? Whpm did Davis
suspect? He had said that It might be
either tw-o men or a man and a wom-
an. A woman? Could It he that he
suspected Katharine Farrlsh of shar-
lng Crandall’s guilt?
No, no It was Impossible, too ab-
surd. Yet certainly the yellow letter
seemed a link between her and Elser.
It was she who for a long time had
been Crandall’s closest associate. That
association apparently had been re-
cently renewed In secret. Was It pos-
sible that back of the mystery there
was some crime and that Katharine
was guilty?
For a moment I was tempted to or-
der the chauffeur to stop. It seemed
almost desecration to take this heart-
less analyzer of crime into the lmjji
where death stalked so close. Sup-
post Katharine was—No, I had pledged
my word to Louise that I would
solve the mystery and I would keep
my promise, no matter where It led
me. After all, the important thing
was my beloved oue’B peace of mind
As long as the shadow hung over her
father and Bister, her happiness mus;
be marred. Better tho knowledge
evil than the terror of mystery.
Davis wasted little time In cere-
mony. Ab soon as 1 had Introduced
him to Louise, he said nbruptly:
"I’d like to see the room w here It
happened—alone."
As ^Louise called one of the serv-
ants to escort him upstairs I was re-
jclcli S At the opportunity to lie alone
with lier.„ The cold formality of her
greeting would have troubled me had
I not attributed It to the Inspector’s
presence. As Boon ns he had left us,
with the memories of the evening be-'
fore glowing In my mind, I turned to
embrace her.
"Don’t, please don't!" she said cold-
ly.
'Why, dearest!" 1 stammered In
amazement.
She offered no explanation but said
In the meat matter-of-fact tones—too
matter-of fact to be natural, 1 thought
"Tell me, #Mr. Kent, what you
learned at the place where Mr. Elser
lived." •
1 was dumfounded. Wlfat had
come over her? What could have
happened to make this sudden change
In her attitude toward me? Could
this cool, distant young woman be the
same girl who only a few hours before
had clung bo desperately to me and
had wept out her sorrows In my arms?
Had she overnight forgotten the kiss
with which we pledged our Joint ef
forts to Bolve the mystery?
“Tell me, Mr. Kent,” she persisted
quietly, "is there a yellow letter In
that case, too? Do you believe there
can be any connection between Mr.
Elser and—and what Katharine did?"
Greatly perturbed, yet trying to con-
vince myself that her attitude was
only a girl’s natural reaction as she
recollected the events of the evening
before,I was Just beginning to rehearse
what little we had learned In the
boarding-house when Davis came run-
ning down the stairs.
"Tell in*," he said abruptly to Lon-
ply to Louise's look of inquiry. | »«»*• ““ £"”h'

night before. He seemed to me strug
gling with his deadened senses to ask
us something. While 1 did not know
whether or not his hearing had been
impaired 1 thought he might be worry-
ing about Katharine's condition, and
carefully and slowly I began to enun-
ciate something about her, hoping that
I had guessed wha’t It was he wished
to ask. But even as I spoke 1 saw
that hts eyes had left my face. Into
them returned the same acute terror
lie had exhibited at the sight of the^
yellow letter. If those eyes could have’
spoken, tlielr shrieks would have filled
the room. I followed the direction of
their glance. He was staring In ter-
ror at the one strange face tn the
room—the Inspector's.
Seeing how much his presence dis-
turbed the Invalid, Davis turned quick-
ly and left the room. Louise and 1
followed, leaving only the doctor and
nurse.
”1 wonder what made him look so?"
breathed Louise.
“He’s afraid of something—for
some one?" I Bald, hurrying to over-
take Davis, hoping to learn from him
hlB opinion as to what caused the pa-
tient's fears.
"I was right. It's just as I thought,”
I heard him mutter as he hastened to
the hall and reached for his hat and'
coat I saw that he was making prep-
aration for Instant departure and I
was In a quandary what to do. I felt
it my duty to accompany my friend,
for from his manner I was convinced
that he was on the track of the mys-
tery. Yet I did not wish to leave Lou-
ise until I had gained some explana-
tion of the barrier that she seemed to
have raised between us. I was con-
scious of no way In which I could
Invited us to go, so Louise and I fol-
lowed Davis from the room.
The inspector seemed to have for-
gotten his haste to depart. He sat
down abruptly on a divan In the up-
per hall, with his face resting in hts
hands, and gave himself up to Intent
thought.
Louise and I stood a little apart, dis-
cussing in whispers Katharine s
strange outcry. What could she have
meant? .
“She meant Crandall, of course,"
said Louise. “She mentioned Hugh—
did you hear It?”
I nodded assent.
"Probably she was repeating a con-
versation she had with him just be-
fore she shot herself,” I suggested.
"What do you suppose she wanted him j
to promise Jier?”
Louise shook her head
grasses demanded and deserved from
their prominence and quality the at-
tention they received. The grain In
the straw, bright in color, and carry-
ing, heads that gave evidence of the
truth of the statements of Mr. W. J.
White of Ottawa, and Ids attendants,
that the wheat would average 28 to
35 bushels and over per acre, the oats
55 to 105 bushels, the,flax 12 to 28
bushels, were strongly in evidence,
and arranged with artistic taste on
the walls. The vegetable exhibit was
a surprise to the visitors. Potatoes,
turnipB—cabbage, In fact, all of It
proved that not only In grains was
western Canada prominent, but In
vegetables it could sUccesfully t com-
pete with the world.
One of the unique and successful
j features of the exhibit was the suc-
I racked 1 cessful an'1 systematic daily distribu-
list
or
my brain in vain for some theory to
fit her words to her own desperate
act, to Crandall's flight, to her fa-
ther’s terror. I judged from Davis’
abstracted manner that he, too, was
similarly engaged.
"Everything,” 1 said-to Louise, "ev-
ery single thing we have learned
points to Crandall’s connection with
the mystery that has hung over yout
father and Katharine. When we havs
found him we shall learn what It was.
I am more and more convinced that
he Is guilty of some crime, something
terrible, something that your fathe*
and sister knew.” «
The Inspector laughed aloud.
We turned toward him, I in Indigna-

smile. *

marked difference In her attitude tow-

debating the question and Davis had
all but reached the door, seemingly In-
different to whether or not I accom-
panied him, a nurse came running to
Louise.
"Miss Farrlsh,” she said, "1 think

ness. I thought you would like to
know It and to be at her side In case

tlon of bread made from Canadian
flour.' It was a treat to those who got
It. Canadian butter, Canadian cheese
ind Canadian honey helped to com-
plete an exhibit that revealed in a
splendid way the great resources of
a country in which so many Amer-
cans have made their home.
*A feature of the exhibit was tho
placards, announcing the several re-
cent successes of Canadian farm
produce and live stock in strong com-
petition with exhibits from other
countries. There was posted the
Leager Wheeler championship prize
Tor Marquis wheat grown at Rostheru
In 1911, beating the world. Then I.
Holmes of Cardston entered the com-
petitive field at Lethbridge Dry Farm-
ng Congrq^s, and won the wheat
championship of 1912, beating Mr.
Wheeler with the same variety of
wheat. Hill & Sons of Lloydminster,
Saskatchewan, In 1911 won the Colo-
rado silver trophy for best oats grown,,
competed for in a big competition at
Columbus, Ohio, In 1911. The produce
pf British Columbia at the New York
Land Show in 1911 carried off the
world’s championship for potato*,
and incidentally won a $1,000 silver
trophy, and then, but a few yeais ago,
the Bame province carried off tne
world's prize for apples at the Horti-
cultural Show in London, England.
But that was not all. These Cana-
dians, who had the temerity to state
that corn was not the only feed for
finishing high-grade beef cattle, en-
tered for tin I, 1 championship
at the Live Stock Sliotf in Chicago a
polled Angus—“Glencarnoek Victor.”
Nearly 300 entries were in the field.
‘Glencarnoek Victor" didn’t know a
kernel of corn from a Brazilian wal-
nut. There were Iowa, Illinois, Ne-
braska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and their corn-fed article, deter-
mined to win, bound to beat this black
animal from the north, and his "noth-
ing but prairie grass, oats and barley
teed,” a£ his owner proudly stated, but
they didn't. Canada and McGregor &
Sons, with their "Glencarnoek Victor,”
won, and today the swelldom of Amer-
ica is eating of L-fi steaks and roasts
—the champion steer of the world.
But onco*more the herd of cattle
that won the Sweepstakes at the
same show was bred and owned by
the owners of "Glencarnoek Victor,”
fed only on prairio grass, oats and
barley, near Brandon, Manitoba. The
royal reception given to Mr Mc-
Gregor ou his return to his home
town was well deserved.
Omission must not be made of the
wonderful and beautiful display of
apples made by British Columbia, oc-
cupying a full half section of lUe
great Land Show. This was in per-
sonal charge of Mr. W. E. Scott, dep-
uty minister of agriculture for that
province, who was not only a host to
those who visited the exhibit, but
was also an encyclopedia of Informa-
tion regarding the resources of that
country. With 200,000 Americans go-
dig to western Canada this year, It Is
pleasing to know that so many from
ibis side of the line can participate in
ihe honors coming to that new coun-
xy.—Advertisement.
