He moved him from the downtown beat to the Madrona district. He couldn't suspend him or fire him, for Hagen was guilty of nothing learned positively the And so it happened that Ed Hagen, scapegoat for Lang, was shot while on duty on his new beat—shot while “spying” on suspicious characters—shot by thugs because Hagen, on his post of duty, did not shut his eyes to what was going on, either at Madrona park or at Tate's. ed under the same pretext Premier Radoslavoff is under. stood to have informed the Serbian the ambassador went to say good- bye to bim.

Gates began to eat. Gussie Can’t Resist the Temptation Gussie bit her lip, rose, carried her plate and eating tools to Gates’ table, sat down, and said: “Bill, for the love of heaven, give me a couple of those eggs!” And so ‘they were reconciled But “Swiftwater” did not marry Gussie, tho it was com- mon talk in Dawson that he offered her “her weight in gold” to become Mrs. Gates Instead, “Swiftwater” married Gussie’s sister, Grace, a striking beauty, and they descended upon San Francisco.
