quietly informed Keefe that he had
broken an agreement TO pGy a certain sum

and started TO strike al the doctor with
the evident intention of making Ii neces-
sary to call the services OF another physi-
clan for DIR. Marston. He counted with
out his host, however, for the doctor was
quicker than Keefe, and the latter was
soon on the floor with cut on his head
that increased his Indebtedness to the
medical fraternity. keefe's new way Of
paying old debts was not roaring sue
cess. Just before he raised the chair to
attack the doctor he tried TO run away

signed, which the doctor had let him in
spect. Officer McElroy investigated the
case.
