Smith (presiding), Flint, l. Schad, Hen

Some cases of cruelty to animals were
reported as attended to. One party was
arrested by officer Healy for driving
horses with CALLED shoulders. The man
was convicted and fined 81 90. TWO
horses were killed, being disabled.
Richard Vaughn was elected mem
Der of the society.
Poundmaster Cooksley was present
and advised with the directory on what
ever it wished to know concerning the
pound. The moral effect of the So
ciety is so generally felt that cases OF
cruelty have greatly declined. whereas
the society in it's inception used TO nave

the badge officers were kept on the jump,
now the fact that the society is Vlgl-

with open arms.

muttering curses.
HE seemed surprised to see me-" said

the great lawyer, gazing at our hero in
admiration. But tell me- have you Sc

and taking a small paper from his pocket
he unrolled it and showed false tooth.
This is a porcelain tooth and was not

CHAPTER III.

Before starting on his perilous night trip
to the chemical laboratory our hero had
studied a plan of the interior of the vast
structure, so that, even in the pitch dark
ness, it required but a few moments for
him to find the tank in which the ozo-
motto gas had been generated.
Taking can-opener from his pocket, he
cut circular opening in the tank and
crawed in.
After a few minutes he emerged with a
satisfied smile on his face.
AS he approached the doorway at which
he had entered he saw four men standing
in the moonlight. The other men on guard
had discovered the bound and gagged
Waterman!
They were waiting for our hero to re-
turn!
II will not be captured" he said, draw
ing his trusty revolver
AT that moment his foot struck a bottle,
which fell and broke with a crash!
The four men came through the door
way. Our hero turned and ran.
He knew that all the doorways were
locked. His only hope was the stairway!
The pursuers were close behind He fed
up one flight of stairs after another! Be
low he could hear the curses and ejacula-
tons of the enraged Waterman.
Suddenly he emerged into an open tow
er. He had reached the topmost point of
the great building! over 100 feet below
him was the placid river
The pursuers came painting at his heels
There was no time to be lost
With a defiant shout he leaped far out
from the tower and dived for the river!

CHAPTER VII.

As soon as our hero had finished his
testimony the prosecution called other wit
nesses to prove that Mrs. Goodlot had a
false tooth and that she was the only one
around the house who chewed gum.
Little remains to be told.
Our hero was again recognized as the
greatest detective of the age.
The defense could not shatter his testi-
mony in regard to the tooth.
Without leaving their seats, the Jurors
brought in a verdict of 'justifiable homi-
oil
