he took no precautions to guard

innocence or a craft almost dia-
bolical in its cleverness.

around the room, hoping for in
spiration. A book lying close at
hand caught my attention. Idly
| took it up and glanced at the
title; 1t was The Works of Ed
gar Allen Poe"
Like fash of inspiration the
clue came to me. This Poe, as
you may know. might have made
the greatest detective the world
ever saw; his story of the Pur-
loincd Letter was the whole art
of the detective in a nut shell. Its
presence here on Ms desk
meant but one thing. He had
taken leaf from Poe, and had
concealed his packet by artisti-
cally revealing it.
Yet N was not one slavishly
to copy an original, no matter
how good. The stolen maps
would not be found hanging on
the wall, as in Poe's story-but
they would be in some equally
conspicuous place.
My eyes turned to the heap of
papers on the billiard table,
passed over before as not worth
taking INTO account. For who
would throw a bundle OF stolen
plans worth thousands of pounds
into hodgepodge apparently of
no value. except to the rag man.
AT the least estimate there
were over FIVE thousand bundles
of papers piled there, each exactly
like all the rest. 1t would take a
full day to examine them. and |
had but an hour at the most. Ha!
that was an ideal How was N
to find them when he wanted
them in a hurry. as he ALMOST
certainly would? He must have
some way of identifying them
without searching through the
pile.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE DISMISSED.
U. S. S. franklin,
Norfolk, Va.

The suit for divorce brought by
Lille c. Bridge against Fred
Bridge, the preliminary hearing OF
which was reported in this paper
last week, was dismissed before
the parties left the city on Tuesday
evening of last week. Both the
husband and wife made certain con-
cessions and agreed to blot out the
past and begin a new page in their
lives.
1t is understood that one of the
terms of the agreement is that they
will sell their holdings and move
away, thus isolating themselves
from the conditions that first start
ed their disagreements.
The settlement of the trouble is
commendable. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Bridge appear to be worthy young
people and they have many friends
in Cedar and Hazelton townships.
The settlement was largely due
to the efforts of several of their
friends and neighbots.

EXCITEMENT AT ISABEL.

Dr.A.H. Nossaman and the local
authorities at Isabel had a round
IN court last week. DR.. Nossaman
is the owner of a drug store at Isa-
bel which he has in connection
with his practice but for some time
there has been a suspicion that
liquor was also dispensed behind
the prescription case, and on Tues
day evening of last week the drug
store was raided by the Isabel con-
stable and his deputies by virtue of
a search and seizure warrant issued
by Justice Valentine on complaint
OF ]. F. Blackwelder. When the
officers took possession DR.. Nossa-
man threw a fve-gallon keg of
whlskey out of the back window.
breaking the glass and taking the
sash out with the liquor. He ex-
planned that the liquor was not
his, but afterwards admitted that
1t was his but said he was using it
IN connection with his practice. In
addition to this, the officers found
a bottle of whiskey. DR.. Nossa-
man was arrested for violating the
prohibitory law and was released
on bond of $500.
On Wednesday Dr.. Nossaman,
Justice Valentine and several other
Isabel parties came to the CITY to
consult with the county attorney
and other attorneys. The papers
IN the case were COTTON up without
legal advice, so far as is known.
and there was no way in which the
district court could have assumed
Jurisdiction. Finally the parties
got together and DR.. Ncssaman
agreed to quit selling liquor and
the parties instrumental in bring
ing about his arrest agreed to not
press the case any farther provided
he quits. The docssor has eight
barrels of malt on hand and the
Isabel people agreed that he Should
be allowed to sell that in the regu-
lar retail way but that he should
not be permitted to lay in another
shipment.
S. B. Rohrer was probably the
most active man in bringing about
a settlement. He says if the agree
mentis broken in any respect he
will positively not interest himself
in any future troubles.
r. L. L. Barnstable, who is re-
garded as one of Isabel's staunch.
est temperance leaders, was in the
city Saturday. He denies that it
had been agreed to drop the mat
ter and did not concede that it
would be settled on those terms,
but popular opinion seems to be
against that view.

BITTEN By A SNAKE.

DR.. w. Van Dewalker had the
worst scare of his life last Thursday
and he is still pale from the effects
of it. He and DR.. lUpdegraff were
fishing in the river and they took
off their shoes and waded down
stream stopping here and there to
drop in their hooks. DR. Van De-
walker, at time when he was
contemplating a bite and landing
5-pound channel cat,stepped on a
cold, clammy water moccasin and
the snake simultaneously gave him
'bite' in the foot that stung for
hours DR.. Updegraff says his fell
low physician made an outcry that
indicated murder and jumped at
least ten feet up in the air, the
snake maintaining its hold. II
was comica1 sight to DR.. Upde.
graf but DR.. Van Dewalker can
see any fun in it. The snake was
an exceptionally large one, but the
bite had no bad eject.
