DR.. Bernstein puffed a thick cloud
of smoke into the air and said quietly:

unfortunately 1t Is life"
Suddenly the door opened and Capt.
Clinton appeared, followed by his fidus
Achates. Detective Sergeant Maloney.
Both men were In plain clothes. The
captains manner was condescendingly
polite, Nhe attitude of a man so sure
of his own position that he had little
respect for the opinion of any one
else. With an effort at amiability he
began:
Got your message, judge-came as
soon as l could. Excuse my bringing
the sergeant with me. Sit over there,
Maloney." Half apologetically, he
added "He keeps his eyes open and
his mouth shut, so he won't interfere.
How do, doctor?"
Maloney took a position at the far
end of the room, while DR.. Bernstein
introduced the captain to Mr.. JEFF

"Yes, I know the gentleman. How

The banker nodded stif1y. He did
not relish having to hobnob in this

the policeman.
"You mean," said the Judge, peering
at his Wis a Wis over his spectacles,
"that you don't want to change your

Capt. Clinton settled himself more
firmly in his chair, as II getting ready

"In other words" went on Judge
Brewster calmly, you have found this

The latter say. that the results OBJ
tanned from the late mill run have
mere than met their expectations and
the story which they viii carry to
shareholders In the northwest will
be- one Of optimism fully substanciat.
ed by facts.
Notwithstanding that the recent
mill run was undertaken under some
disadYantageous conditions, an extrac-
ton Of q little better than ninety per
cent was obtained from the crushed
ore placed In the solution. This,
