Miss Carmody. She, looked at Mr..
Chalmers with an expression half OF
Interrogation and half of confidence
In his ability to solve the riddle. The
chatter of Miss LIE Roy sounded must
cal as it came through the drawn
portieres. Two. 1iewsboys were
working the street" with late edi-
eion. In the distance their cries
sounded like the ''honking' of wild
geese:
'It is remarkable that so many
things should point to this man Vim
cent" said Mr.. Chalmers. "He disap-
pearcd the same time your father
did. He had been here several times
the week before. And. on top of this,
our man Seymour wires that Vincent
is the man."
':Do you think that he is, Mr.. Chal.
mers ?" Miss Carmody looked eagerly
into the eyes of the managing edi-
tor. and that gentleman was so hyp-
noticed that he was lost at the mo-
ment for an answer.
; "I-I-no, I do not think he is
said Mr.. Chalmers. ct is probably
nothing more than a coincidence" :
! .'But your Mr.. Seymour seems sc
sure that Vincent is at the bottom OF
the mystery" said Miss Carmody.
Seymour is a good reporter. but
he is too emotional at times,'' said
Chalmers, smiling. "He is like many
of our detectives who first make uI
their minds, and then make the facts
1T to prove their theory. It is bet
ter to get the facts first, and form
your theory later. OF course Sey-

BERNARD SEYMOUR
Chalmers expressed the opinion
that Seymour was barking at a
knot" but he answered the telegram
and sent the money as requested.
The managing editor was far from
sharing Jack Stevens high opinion
of Mr. Seymour's detective abilities,
but was too much of a disciplinarian
to interfere with the latter's plans.
He knew that Mr. Seymour would
prove an expensive luxury, but
Chalmers had been trained to ignore
money as a factor in newspaper ven
lures. He dismissed the enterprising
Seymour from his thoughts.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens returned from Provincetown.
He had learned nothing, but had as
signed. his men in such a way that
he predicted results would follow.
Chalmers explained to Stevens what
he had learned from following up the
clew offered by the letters found in

"Be very careful what you say or

fact that Hestor bought lot of fur

WAGONS ARE BACK
Pa ckers Return TO Practice of De.
IiVering Products to
Retailers.
PlovJs Az IxP Ns1vE PLAN
Other Concerns Making Large In
roads on Their Business
Here.

The foreign packing companies hav-
ing local branches here and in Dayen-
port have returned to the practice.
abandoned last August. of delivering
products to the retail markets.
Those in the non-delivery agree
ment were the Hammond. Swift, Ar
m0ur. Nelson Morris and Cudahy con-
Germs. while adhering to the old GUS
tom were the local packers, I. NJ. Sin
clair. of Cedar Rapids, and Schwartz
schild & Sulzberger. of New York
The decision to dispense with the
wagons was apparently made by per-
sons not familiar with the situation
here, although doubtless the head
Offices of the companies were
advised that the new arrangement
eide TO those in the agreement, and
such it was proving when the deter
mination was reached to go back to
the old order Of things.
There is packing house owned by
local capital in the west part of Dav-
export. The management declined to
enter into the nOn-delivery agreement
for the reason that the company had
no uptown offices or storage accom-
mCdations and consequently the trade
would be obliged to visit the house
in the outskirts of the city, entailing
the loss of the greater part of day
to the prospective purchaser if he
wished TO visit the concern and look
over what ii had to offer for sale. This
was an unfair advantage, and Sinclair
and 5. q $. held out on the grounds
that they could not afford TO buck
home establishment that intended to
continue delivery of products.
Intended as economy Measure.
ut was purely an economy idea"
said the representative of one of the
big packers today. I'm some cities it
operates successfully, but it was dis
covered by the head offices il was
proving to be a money loser. 1t was
DECIDED that Il mistake had been made
here and the companies got together
and remedied it. In many other
places, where conditions are different,
the nondelivery system is still in
vogue
