cents hundred, the rate from Mime

.or handed over the key to the Swedish
p Union hall, Lake street and Nicollet
avenue. The stranger went into the
place, locking the door after him.

key to the janitor, saying that every
thing was found in good order, and
disappeared. Next morning it was dis
covered that the pseudo sleuth was
himself one of the meter thieves. The
