owes his landlady for five weeks board,
and bade his friends good-by, :.
An eight-foot piece of rubber tubing,
which he brought with him, was at

in his mouth. The tube was still held

The dead man is of slender build, five
feet ten or eleven inches tall, had dark
gray eyes, black hair, was slightly bald,
and wore a brown moustache, which
dropped over his lips in the form of a

quality and his general appearance was
that of a neat, we'll -to-do clerk. A black
derby hat, from which he had cut that
portion of the hat-band containing his

Calvin a Man Of the World.

Calvin had many advantages. He
was not a scholar merely, he was a
man of the world. He had travelled,
was familiar with the life of courts,
was on terms of intimate friendship
with many of the most distinguished
persons of his day. He had COM
handing intellect, a literary style
which was the envy and admiration
of the learned He knew law as well
as he did theology. French as well as
he did Latin. His grasp of wide
range of subjects and his attention to
detail were things to marvel at. Add
to these an inexhaustible patience and
bulldog tenacity of purpose, vivid
human interest and an amazing ca
pacity for work, and we begin to I'M
