Quietly taking possession of that choice specimen of literature, he stuffed it into the pocket where so re- «ently his cap and that scrap of soft, black, glossy fabric had reposed, and then remarked: “Reckon you've heard folks havin' words before, where you worked, and that didn’t have nothin' to do with Mr. Benkard gittin’ killed, because he was all right long after Mr. Lane had gone back to the city in that there car o' Ain't sayin' it did!"

He held out the dream book, and Mazeppa pounced upon it with an exclamation of pleasure, and then, picking up her grip, she started for the door; but a bulky thickset stranger barred her progress.

What's he doin’ now?” H observed. “So dutside examining all the doors and windows to see if any of them were foreed during the night” There was amused contempt in the doctor's tone. “He don't take any stock in the fact that the terrace doors were wide oven within a dozen feet of where the body was found!” till somebody would have had to walk across the loose sand on the fioor from the doors o' the terrace to the bench, and, from all I heard tell Mr. set facin' ‘em.” Geoff spoke meditatively as if to himself, and his companion watched him with a shrewd, attentive light in his eves. “How'd he git hit on tha back o' the head?

Dr. Hood paused with ar® uncon- seion dramatic effect, but his com- panion’s expression did not change. He stared straight before him in stolid ~reflection, and his thumbs sought the straps of hi# overalls and crooked there, “Well, Doc.” he vouchsafed at last, “T don’t'aim to put forward my opi ion, but since you're askin’ me for it, the wind last night was from the south. not the north that those ter- race doors open out on: and If it had a-been north how could it have got under and behind that bench to blow away the footprints there, too, if the feller walked around it? Then why would it wipe out his footprints and leave Benkard's there in front of the | bench, whers we both =een ‘em as plain as day? The rest of it seems a likely enough idea— 3 “It's the only one!" the doctor in- terrupted, nettled in spite of his ha- bitual good nature by the unenthu- siastic reception of his theory. “No |matter which way the wind was from, a little scurry of breeze was likely to swirl in at the open door and just {by. chance scatter the sand and smooth over the footprints in that one spot, leaving a space a few inches away undisturbed. Tt's the only ex- lanation for thers being none visible this morning, and the murderer may not have gone around behind the hench; that's a mere detail. 1 tell you, Geoff, you'll find that I've hit it be- fore this case is finished!" “I ain’t got no idees about it a-tall,” admitted Geoff. “Reckon vou're right about my bein' slow-thinkin’, Doc. Seems to me, though, that no matter how rich and successful T'd be, Id want somethin’, even a dog, to grieve when my time come to be took! Who do you s'pose is a-comin’ in Hank's jitney? He ain’t driv so fast since the town hall burned over to the corners!” A dilapidated smal wild pace up the dr from side to side, and the two spec: tators hopped nimbly out of its way, as It drew up before the steps with & clatter. “Hello, Doe!" the cried eagerly. youthful driver cried o “How’s things? Any But Dr. Hood Was present on offi- cial business, and he merely nodded to his interrogator and stepped for- ward to Intercept the single passen- ger who allghted. Geoff retreated to the shadow of the entrance hall, “I'm the medical examiner in charge. What's your business here, sir? The newcomer was a frall, slender, stoop-shouldered man -who seemed prematurely aged. He hesitated, be- wildered, and the face he turned to the doctor showed deep, furrowed lines while he blinked nearsightedly in_the sunlight. “I am Willlam Dumn, Mr. Benkard's private secretary.

That great log had actu- ally walked n short distance down the bank. This hadn't frightened Danny, because his funny little furry head had been so filled with astonish- ment that there hadn't been room for fright. Then at the very edge of the water the great log had come to rest again, and there for some time it had remained as motionless as when Danny had first watched it.

Without any warning at all, one end of that old log, the end nearest the water, suddenly opened. It opened wide, wide, very wide, Indeed. It opened so wide that it looked as if it were going to spring apart. This in itself was enough to frighten any one. Don't you think s0? But it wasn't just the opening of that end of the big log that frightened Danny so. It was what he saw in that great opening. He saw teeth! Yes, sir, he saw teeth! He saw ever and ever so many teeth. And they were such teeth as he never even had dreamed could be ywhere In all the Great World. 'hey were big and they were point- ed, and they were all along the edge of the two halves of the opened end of that old log. At the sight of those teeth Danny Meadow Mouse knew that that wasn't old log at all. He knew that he should have known that it wasn't an old log when it began to walk. He knew that this was some strange creature of which he had never.even SIR, HE Do you think the medical profession a sultable one for woman?

CLEVELAND, December 15.—A reso- lution opposing any change by Con- gress in the present transportation act as regards the regulation of rail- way frelght rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Rall La- bor Board provisions was adopted by the associated traffic clubs of America, rle[prenenung shippers of forty-two cities. e ‘This stand was taken, said G. A. Maxwell, general freight agent of the New York Central Railroad and a member of the board of directors of the clubs, because of fear that the present “progressive bloc” in Con- gress would force ‘“vicious rather than beneficial” legislation if the sub- ject were opened.
