tered and a rich haul Of jewelry
made.
Murray and his brother officers
worked vigorously. They forced every
stranger in town to account for him
self. They sent out the drag net and
gathered in all the regulars" in the
suspicious character line. Patrols at
night were doubled and a vigilant, UNI
ceasing watch kept, but the ~burglaries
continued as usual. One night a house
in n end of the town would be
robbed and the next night the bur-
glars would operate successfully in an
opposite direction. Murray, annoyed
by the audaciousness of the criminals,
devoted all his time and energy to the
task Of running them down, but the
only clue or trace of them that he
could discover was a popularity in
the jimmy marks, showing that a
piece had been Clipped or cut out of
one end of the jimmy.
One night about IL o'clock, while
talking to an acquaintance in the
Reed house, he CHANGED to notice a
woman slip quietly down the back
stairs of the hotel and out into the
street. On three succeeding nights he
observed her doing this. On speaking
of the circumstance to the clerk that
worthy informed him that she was a
scrub woman who worked late and
lived outside the hotel. There was
nothing suspicious about that, but
as the clerk declared that he did not
know where the woman lived, Murray,
out of sheer, idle curiosity, determined
to shadow her to her home. When she
slipped down the stairs as usual Muir
ray followed her into the street, but
before he had traversed five blocks
realized that his trailing was useless.
The mysterious scrub woman had dis
! appeared as though the earth had
swallowed her. Murray, surprised at
the seemingly elusive powers Of the
ancient dame, laughed over what he
considered a good joke on his ability
as a shadow artist and went home.
On the following morning the Erie
papers reported another burglary as
having occurred in a house four blocks
from where the scrub woman had
vanished into thin air. Murray said
nothing to his associates but that
night he took up a station at the
Reed house and waited. About one
o'clock in the morning the figure Of
the scrub woman fitted lightly down
the stairs and Murray followed her
into the gloom Of night. For is blocks
he trailed behind, when his quarry
turned a corner. and when he came
UP she had again disappeared. That
night yet another burglary took place,
and Murray, still with his mind cen
tered on the vanishing scrub woman.

Murray thought of his weary ram
bles in the dark. 1t did not seem as
though his ~aggravating old scrub
woman could have had a hand in the
affair for he had never lost sight of
her. All the same, acting upon an i'm
pulse he could hardly explain but was
not disposed to resist, he resolved
upon paying her a visit. He went out
to the house where he had last seen
her. On n side of the double build
ing lived Mrs. O'Brien, a respectable
woman. Her knowledge Of the occu-
pants Of the other side was limited to
the fact of their being women who
had resided there less than a year.
Murray knocked at the door and
received no answer. He raped
loudly again. There was a scurry of
feet in the hall and finally the door
swung open. A big robust girl, 20
years old, stood on the threshold.
Without further ceremony the detec-
tive strobe in.
what is your name?" he asked.

"Do you live alone?"

the girl.
Call her." said Murray shortly.
Mary Ann complied, and in answer
to her m the ancient scrub
woman skipped out of an adjoining
room in a I'M that suggested the
activity of 16 rather than the natural
d~ecrepitude of go.
Murray fixed his penetrating eyes
upon her and was greeted with a CO.
quettish leer.

said.
"My name is Mrs. Julia Hail." re-
piled the old woman, still grinning
broadly.
Just So" remarked Murray. We'll

For answer the old woman's mouth
opened and gave vent to a yell of
"Maggiel"
This call brought to the front a
small shaIN-faced woman some ten
years younger that the active Mrs.
Hall. The latest arrival smiled at her
comrades and confronted the detec.
tive unabashed.

FIND DIME UNDER SKIN
OF CONTESTED STEER

Baker City, Ore.-After having cut
into the steer over which the suit
arose, the jury in the case of Kirby
VS.. Johnson yesterday found under
the skin a silver dime Of the date of
1905, which the defendant claimed
he had placed there as means of
identifying the animal.
According to the story told by the
defendant, he had had several cattle
stolen, and he placed seven dimes
under the skin of as many animals
as a second means of Identification
The dimes were to supplement his
brand, Diamond A." which also was
Identical with the brand of the plain
tiff.
The story Of the dimes was sprung
by the defendant as a surprise upon
the plaintiff. The presence of the
dime seemed to make the identifica-
ton of the steer complete.
The jury, however, didn't seem to
attach much importance to the find
ing Of the dime.
When they brought in their YER
dict they found that the animal be-
longed to the plaintiff The verdict
and the dime were both handed to
Judge Smith.
The steer was turned over to the
custody Of Kirby, but the dime, since
none but the defendant claimed it,
was given by the court to him.

my trouble began about three years
ago with little black swellings scattered
over my face and neck. They would
disappear but they would leave little
black scars that would itch at times so
] couldn't keep from scratching them.
Larger swellings would appear in the
same place and they were SO painful

would stick TO the sores. The first
doctor ! went to said the disease was
scrofula but the trouble only got worse
and spread. BY this time it was all over
my arms and the upper part OF my
body in big swellings as large as dollar.
1t was so painful that could not bear
to lie on my back at night. The second
doctor pronounced my disease inflam-
nation of the lymphatic glands. He
stopped the swellings, but when they
would break the places would not heal.
He tried everything that he could but
to no effect. He said might be cured
but it would take long time. bought
