old acquaintance Samuel Terrill, whose
knowledge of books--old books-is, or
rather was, for he passed over to the
great majority last year, something ex-
traordinary. He could do more Won
derful things with books than Prof.
Hermann with dozen eggs and new
silk hat. He professed to know 10000
books by their shape and weight. That
is, provided they were old books; for
new books had no value in Terrjlps
eyes. New books, he was wont to say,
lacked character.
One day a friend of mine who wasted
his substance at book auctions was
passing Terrill's shop, carrying under
his arm some prize that he had just
bought; it was rather rare book-~a
copy of the first edition of Lambs
farewell to Tobacco" printed in Lon
don in 1928.
''Struck a prize?" growled Terrill,
glancing up from his seat near the open
door.

For a few moments I sat dazed at
my discovery. That, however, was no
state of mind for a detective, especially
tor a detective who had detected some
thing. What was to do? Denounce
this young girl as possible thief to the
library authorities? Such a course
would put an end to her chances for
copying any more English stories for
American newspapers; but it would
mean disgrace, and in all probabil it
would not result in recovering the $500
that the Gazette had lost. Moreover,
the more 1 thought of the girl and her
pleasant ways, the less liked the idea
of accusing her Of wrongdoing. pom
dered the problem for a good hour.
Danders' note was in my pocket. It
was some encouragement to find that

Miss Robertson opened the door with
a latch-key. After climbing two flights
of stairs l was ushered into a plainly
furnished but exquisitely neat and
clean room. There was a lamp on the
table, under the light of which an o!t
woman sat sewing. Before CRATE frt,
sat a man who must have been an eN
ceedingly handsome fellow in his
youth. Even at 65 his white hair and
bushy beard and eyebrows gave no sign
of illness, for his complexion was as
rosy as that of child, and as his keen
ears detected the step Of a stranger
there was almost the elasticity Of youth
in the way he stood up and, holding 10
the arm of his chair. waited for eN-
plantations.
Miss Robertson nodded to the old
woman and kissed her father.

smiled as she took her fathers hand ia

waited silently.

has been very kind in helping me at

sisted upon bringing me ho1ne.'
"Iou are welcome, sir. Ellen, has the

According to this Havre man the

5 O'Clock came, the hour for opening
the polls, the ballots had not arrived.
Quite a crowd had collected. and the

The ballots and other supplies

The story goes that the judges did
not formally open the polls, but that
they handed to each man a ballot,
