But in this difference lies the great mystery which the au thorities are at their wits end to solve No bottles are found in the pockets oI these trunks; their breaths are per fectly odorless; not the faintest seen of rum, gin, whisky or other prohibited beverage hangs in the circumambienI atmosphere about the booze fighters And more than that, the topers all re fuse to reveal the dark secret of theiy tnebriation.
