ney's office. Anderson was likely
looking young chap and hadn't the
least indication of a crook, unless II
be his shifty eyes. Cheney never ad
mired a man who couldn't look you il
the face. Anderson was not under ar
rest when he came in and acknowl
edged Pughitt's introduction couT
teously.
"Sit down, Mr.. Anderson Guthrie
stood to the right and rear of Ander-
son, and Cheney, Pughitt and the sus-
pect were grouped around the coIoneJs
desk.
Cheney came right to the point.
"Mr. Anderson, the registered mails
on tie route running through BOydston
have been Systematically robbed.
Some time ago the government asked
me to take the case. | agreed to DO
so and also offered to apprehend the
thief without leaving my Office. That's
why have asked Pughitt to have you
come here
Anderson paled as he heard Che
ney's words and half rose.
sit down, Anderson, sit down, and
be calm. / know you're quick on the
trigger, but there's a man standing
behind you who is a damned sight
quicker
Anderson recovered himself and
snapped out: It's an Internal out
rage to be brought in here and accused
of something | know nothing about" "
well, Mr. Anderson, if you know
nothing about the case YOU need have
no fear at all, and I'll stand any dam
ages you may call for. But you do
know about the case, you know all
about it, On the 2Sth of last month
you opened a registered letter adj
dressed to Kuhn & Co.. bankers, New
York. You steamed open the letter,
extracted therefrom $4,000 and substi-
tuted paper in it's place. You've done
it before But this time you're caught"
your saying so doesn't prove it,
derson: but wait a moment. After
you had extracted the money you re-
sealed the letter, using a small muci-
lage bottle, such as will be found on
any p0stmaster's desk. The mucilage
in that bottle was doctored, as was
the mucilage in every office on that
route"
Anderson paled again; the coils
were tightening around him. Pughitt
sat fascinated by the simple work of a
great man Guthrie was on to the
whole game Cheney proceeded.
Some few weeks ago post office
Inspector went over the route. My
man Guthrie there was temporarily
the inspector. l knew some pOstmas-
tered packages and then re-sealing
with mucilage The robbed letters
showed that So ! gave Guthrie lit
tie black box containing 20 different
LIQUID essences. At each office he used
a different liquid and made nOtatiOns
as to Just what they were. Yours hap
pened to be the worst of the lot--es-
sence of quinine. Therefore, When
the last robbery occurred and the en-
velope was brought in here | merely
opened the resealed flap, tasted the
mucilage, and-the bitter quinine taste
was there. Looking over the list of
essences and offices Guthrie had pre-
pared for me, | saw: BoydstOn: Es-
sence of Quinine.' Simple little thing,
wasn't it, Mr.. AndersOn?"
Good God man., gasped Ander-
son, that's uncanny!"
No" smiled Cheney, "quinine isn't
uncanny, it's just bitter
Pughitt was dumbfounded, but took
his man away.
The dinner was had some time later,
and it opened with an Essence Of
Quinine cocktail" Only it wasn't Bit

FEW EARLY MARRIAGES NOW.
Men and Women Await Arrival OF
Years of Discretion.

The marrying age is steadily re
ceding, and it is quite within the
range of probability that Il viii De
regarded in the future as the equiva--
lent of the present II.
This is partly due to the keenness
of the struggle for existence; man
desires to attain a position before
marrying, and he finds the years
slipping by with disturbing rapidity
while he is climbing the ladder,
Both men and women too, fear that
they may be deceived and many
enter into partnership with one who
will turn out to be undesirable.
So they will spend the earlier years
and then the glanlOr of his single life
will wear off. They will have gained
experience enough to enable them TO
Judge character with fair accuracy
and then will thus be less fearful OF
being taken in"
They will feel that after all, it is
better to settle down with a partner
And then marriage will come in mid
die age. The love making will not be
the same, but it may we'll be a more
solid fire-quieter, but more enduring
