A spasm of pain crossed the old mans
face, but he quickly recovered.

Smith and Rugby looked at each 9TH
er helplessly. Finally Smith spoke.
'N0u know, of course, Mr.. Compton,
the gravity of this offense and the pen

Compton shivered slightly. His voice
was firm, but so low that the two in
spectors could hardly catch the words.
81 know the penalty, yes-prison. It's
useless to have any trial. l will plead
guilty. The less fuss there's over it
the easier it will be for-for-others."
His voice broke on the last word.
The inspectors instantly suspected that
he was shielding the real culprit Smith
acted quickly. He laid his hand cor
daily on COmpton's shoulder.
"See here, Compton; we can't be-
lieve this of you. It's our duty to place
you under immediate arrest, but were
going to give you another chance
We're going to investigate further, and
we ask only your word that you won't
jump the town."
The old man seemed terror stricken.
He avOwed his guilt in piteous tones
and begged to be arrested, but Smith
and Rugby were firm and sent him
from their presence a tottering, sob
bing man.
For the next few days, while John
went over his route like one in a
dream, Rugby investigated the life of
the old carriers daughter. He quickly
discovered that she dressed far above
her station and income and INDUCED in
several expensive vices. Marked bills
were traced directly to her, and when
taxed by Rugby she broke down and
confessed. Every morning when hel
father stepped into the kitchen for the
cup Of coffee which seemed to strength

route she had rifled the mail bag as i
