THE Story Of a Borrowed Rig and
What Became Of the Borrower" is one
that was recorded In a few brief hours
last night and yesterday. The principal
was Albert c. Morris and his associate
was George Romney, Jr. Two nhmeless
women also figured in the last chapter,
which suddenly opened and closed on
the Salt Palace grounds.
This Is where the tale begins-i ester
day morning Albert Morris met James
w. McHenry, who has charge Of the
Church stables on the Tithing Office
block. Albert saluted him with most
courteous mein and a moment later
McHenry passed on. At noon when he
went To the east barn he found AL
bert's horse and buggy there. The lat
ter was among the Church vehicles and
the former was in a stall eating heavy
feed of oats. Albert was nowhere to
be seen and Melienry walked away,
exclaiming, "Of all the nerve ever
saw, this is about the nerviest"
Some time after lunch McHenry re-
turned. He noted that his own fancy

Morris had greater supply than he
had ever dreamed of earlier in the day
He commenced TO make inquiry and as
certained that Albert had sought con-
vivial companionship and was having
"a time"

the only complaint that could be made
would be tresspass. McHenry decided 60
await developments.
The afternoon wore on with no sign
OF Morris and no indication Of his re-
turn. In the evening, McHenry first To-
Gated the borrowed rig and the borrow

evening drive south on State street,
when he saw the runabout at or near

thought II might come in handy when
the trial occurs, for he says he pro-
poses to prosecute Morris. After the
drive was concluded McHenry began
the search for the runabont and the
harness. lie didn't care so much about
the horse, but he did acknowledge a
desire TO see Morris. Shortly before
Midnight there were interesting devel-
opments. Mclienry had found his map.

meeting occurred. Morris and Romney
were there as were also two guided
females. and Mcllcnry says that all
