 "f have quit taking farm produce in exchange for my services. said tho ct of Veggs from a horny handed hus- bandman not long a4o and when l opened one of them the people next door sumn1oned the health officers I registered a VOW, then and there, that I would draw the line at farm produce.
 So you will have to come down with the good old iron sesterces, MT. Whooply, if you wish to enlist my val uable services. My price for unravei- ing this tangle is $S. make this low price because can explain everything without leaving the office, so It will not be necessary to disguise myself as the long lost Charlie Ross.
 That's all right, MT. Whooply. Now that the financial part of the matter is settled, let us look into this unusual persecution of yours.
 Tn order to be great detective the first essential is an accurate memory. I have an accurate memory. Anything recorded on it's luminous page is there for keeps. As you told your story glanced over that record and recalled seeing. Charles Feppendike, on several occasions, taking Gertrude Gigway for pleasure rides in his automobile. Ger trude is the daughter of a merchant prince and is as honfely as a. tin roof, but Charles Peppendike is one of these thrifty boys for whom honest poverty has no charms. He would marry an anaconda if there was money in it. Ths fact that you would unload your daughter on such a man makes me ex- tremely weary, MT. Whooply, and es- pecially when she is deeply in love with that extremly worthy youth, Sam Bone set, whoss poverty should appeal to all good citizens.
 ssTl1e natural explanation of the do- ings at your place is that Peppendike heard of your discontinue of Sam, and was afraid that he would be expected to marry your Viola, with whom he used to train. That would be highly embarrassing to him, for he is strain ing every nerve to round up Gertrude and get her into the matrimonial cor ral. He Is man of abesotted 1ntelecS like all the idle rich, and he could think of no better scheme than to per- seeute you, knowing you would blame it on Sam, and hoping that you would compromise with him for the sake of peace.
 Tt was easy for him to go chugg1ing along the road past your house in his automobile and throw bricks at your door and poisoned meat to your dog, and so on. This is the explanation Of your troubles, or I'll eat my shoes. Go to that man Peppendike, where he lolls in useless FuXuryy dnu DsfShS ou uo"ly beds of ease and sflalze your toil-Worn fist in his face and accuse him Of those despica.ble crimes, and, depend upon 1t, he will have no defense at all.
 Then go, with healing in your wings. to Sam Boneset, that admirable young man who lines up so strong for honest poverty, and lead him to your daugh- ter Viola, and join their hands and give them your blessing without any strings to it. When they are married and the family rooftree rings with innocent rnerriment, J. Sleuth Trailer will attend the festivities and dance with the bride, and kiss the bridesmaids and whip the hired man and make all kinds of a lit."-Chicago News.
