His ire wrought up to the point of

British citizen, formerly a soldier in

doctors office
The doctor at once started out to look
Tor the Cuiprlt He had his sus-
piciOns. and soon he laid a mass of evil
dence before local officials. When al
most week had passed. and the cuIprit
had not been apprehended, the doctor
chaied so much at the slOWneSs of the
wheels of Justice in the little American
city. that he promptly mailed a written
statement of his grievance to the en-
pasy OF his King in this city. He asks
that prompt steps be taken with thc
state Department TO bring the guilty
