The writer Of the article had ex.
haustod the possibilities of gentle
suggestion and vague innuendo in an
effort to create an impression of mys-

against the newspaper, which he as.

who was causing the finest and noblest
girl in the world infinite anxiety and

THE thing is prcposterous." he said
lightly. "The idea that your father
would attempt to enter his own state

these days when public men are de

mans right to deceive the press II he

Il was a painful subject; and the
fact that she was driven by sheer

be ignored; and he assumed at once
lighter tone.
Come We must solve the riddle
of the lost prisoner at once. and your

that he is personally carrying the
war into the Applewcight country
must be maintained. and / shall step

Columbia newspaper in his name that
he is in Mingo county on the trail OF
