had been tested under the most
trying circumstances, and always
he was cool, alert and absolutely
fearless. He was devoted to his
work, which had won him wide

later was special agent for the

For about eight months he had

Nearly year ago, and again

These attempts failed, for the

safe from the attacks of these
