MRS. RINEHART'S FOLLOWING

Detective stories have become the
recreation of great minds. Men who
would not think of reading the ordi-

said that Chief Justice Fuller pre-

Whenever Curtis Guild, the Massa

clerk automatically hands him the
latest mystery yarn.

WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

The crest of high pressure has
moved to over South Dakota, and
low pressure is following from
western Canada. Fair weather has
prevailed between the Pacific and
the Rockies, excepting rain in Brit
ish Columbia. The center of the
tropical storm is still near the
south Atlantic coast and rain has
fallen along the Atlantic seaboard,
in the Mississippi valley and the
middle Rockies. The eastwardly
advance of the crest thigh pres
sure to South Dakota has caused a
somewhat general and considerable
fall of temperature from the
Rockies to the Mississippi river.

teen minutes after Miller was last seen.

ing his loss Mr.. Summers notified the
local police and Chief Martin put a
number of officers to work on the case
at once. Miller did not leave Gary on
train as there were none leaving the
city at that time Every street car
leaving the city was closely watched
and the police of the neighboring cities
were notified to watch all incoming
cars but to noon today no trace of
Miller has been found.
