both client and suspect, and whichever has
the most money they skin. Very often
they skin them both"
This little piece OF gratuitous advice made
Hartley vince. While the judge was gone
to the telephone, he wondered what had
prompted the giving OF II. Johnson was a
private detective!
A few minutes passed, and the judge re-
turned.
VERY sorry, old man. he said, but II
appears the whole force is out on a muir
der case. trying to find who drove a GER
tain cab last night. It seems they found
a bloody cab at daylight this morning,
somewhere on the river front Very in
teresting case, they tell me, and it's all in
the afternoon papers. Here, boy, get US
two Of the latest afternoon editions you
can find. Any OF the picture papers will
do"
The two men sat down TO enjoy their
cigars and five minutes later both were
looking at picture Of a cab, with the door
open, the cushions lying on the ground
beside it, and mob Of curious people
standing round, just far enough from the
vehicle TO give the photographer room.
1t appeared that the cab, with the horse
stil in the shafts, had been found at the
end of a lonely dock, close to the rivers
edge, at daylight. There was no driver with
It, and nothing in the cab itself; but the
cushions were slashed here and there, and
the whole cab was soaked with blood, some
of which had run out from under the door
and frozen on the step and on the ground
The curious thing about the cab was that
on the lamp was NO a." but that when
the police went to look up that number
and find the owner, they discovered that
cab No. A had left Che stable that morn
ing at o'clock and was on the rank al
the Central Station, with its proper driver
Judging from the traces Of frozen blood
that led to the edge of the dock, whatever
had been in the cab had been thrown into
the water, and they were then at work
dredging the river. AS no one knew what
time the tragedy had occurred, 1t was diff
ficult to say whether the tide had beer
running up stream or down at the time
the body, If there were a body, had beer
thrown in.
Having read over the account and glanced
at some other items in the paper which in
terested him more, Hartley went back L
his office, leaving the judge still porting
over the mnutest details OF the cab mys
terry. AT parting, the judge promised tina
one OF the central office men should cal
on Hartley next day or the day after.

CHAPTER Nv.

The next morning Hartley was al his
office at 10 o'clock sharp. on his way
downtown he had looked over the morn
ing papers with sort Of idle curiosity
and had seen that the latest development
in the cab murder case was the finding
OF some other part Of the body; this time
an arm and hand with the same evidence
Of rough-and-ready surgery in the separa-
ton.
The theory Of the police was that the
driver OF the cab was an accomplish, and
that the story Of the horses running away
was a lie pure and simple. All their efforts
had been directed to tracing the driver.
and, strange 10 say, they found him in

Chdnue on Rural Route No. 2,

The Government authorities
have changed the time of the de-
parture of the mail from the city
on Rural Route No. 2 from 10
a. m. to 1 p. M, so that the pa
irons will be enabled to get the
mail off of the 1921 train. This
makes the carrier get back to the
Office at 6 o. m, instead of 3 D. M,
as formerly and if the Govern
ment makes the change perma-
nent one the carrier will be forced
to deliver mail in the dark. 7 The
change is popular with some of
the patrons, while Objectionable
to others.

Mainleaf won the first two
heats and would have won the
third but, for a punctured tire, the
race was postponed urtil the fol-
lowing day and was won in
straight heats by Peter Thompson.
Mainleaf trotted under great diff
fculties, having badly cracked
quarter, which made him very
lame, and it was the opinion of
the majority of horsemen present
that had he been sound he would
have won in jog, as it was he
put up a far better race than
most horses would have done I'M

Mcgowan had world of friends

A picnic for the Bible School
of the Christian church had been
announced for Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock at the fair grounds.

lunch consisted of sandwiches,
pickle, lemonade, cakes, bananas
and apples. There was an abun-
dance and to spare, provided by
generous and willing men and wo-
men of the congregation. The
table was decorated with such as
the season and community affords:
Flowers, many candles, (the cleo
trio current is available at night,
and happy, bright-faced children.
The music was captivating, an i'm
provised chorus of 80 voices. The
table accommodated 30 at time,

Dear Mr.. Editor:-Please allow me
just a little space in the columns of
your valuable paper to express my
thanks for the kindness and sympathy
shown and expressed by my neighbors
and friends during my dear wife's re-
cent illness. II there is any thing that
makes a man feel iise lifting his hat
to his neighbor it is deeds of kindness
done in times Of sickness. This is
truly my attitude. feel so grateful
to those who assisted me in tho many
ways that they did, that | will have
to ask them to pardon me for rot be-
ing able to find words to express my
true feelings. For the many visits
and attention paid my wife while sic
was at DR.. Know.cu's hospital I can
never repay them and my thankful
nessjs beyond ali meaps Of expression.
lily children were cared for with
mothers care while my wife lay i'll,
ard my blighted feelings were ever
encouraged by the CONSTANT wishes
for her speedy recovery.
had always had a tkrror for hos
pitais; I had always Thought them a
place where nothing was seen bat the
frowning faces O. grabbed old doctors,
and 70. hing heard but the Insulting
giab of cross nurses. But now I am
willing to lay at their feet and ask
their forgiveness for any Ill feeling
that might have had against them.
While at Knowlton's hospital my
wife received every attention that
could have been given to any one.
Everything was altogether different
from what had expected to find it.
The nurses were very pleasant, cour-
teous and encouraging to the patient;
also were all those connected with the
hospital in any way.
I am glad that we have place like
DR.. Knowlton's where our sick ones
can be cared for. We can take them
there ard rest assured that they will
be properly cared for and, if possible,
restored to health again My advice
to any one who might have to undergo
an operation is to choose Knowlton's
for the place.
