"Drawings for duplicates taken Ia
manufacturer by young woman. Cave
name of Elinor Holcomb." r
Britz dismissed the visitor, left the
house. and hastened to the office Of
Dr. Fitch. Taking the important
cablegram from his pocket, he handed
It to the physician. The doctors eyes
fingered on each word His face pnled,
his eyes bulged forward. violent
tremor ran up and down his frame.
This is awful" he groaned.
'Tt's great news for you and Miss
Holcomb." the detective smiled.
Fitch eyed him in perplexity. The
detective met his inquiring gaze stead
fly. and, slowly folding the cablegram,
he said:
"It proves beyond question she had
no part in the crime"
How" Fitch demanded eagerly.
"If Miss HoIcomb had been clever
enough to plan the theft she'd have
known better than to go about Paris
ordering the duplicates. Also, II she
had taken the diamonds, she'd never
have permitted one Of them to remain
in her room in Mrs. Missioner's
house. No, whoever stole those gems
deliberately tried to throw suspicion
on her"
"But who could have conceived such,
a dastardly crime?' Fitch blurted, a
wave of anger sweeping his frame.
Whoever It was" Britz returned,
"either was actuated by enmity to-
ward the young woman, or knew
enough about the Missioner household
to realize that suspicion would natur-
ally fall on her, and therefore he de-
cided to use her as a cloak to hide
his own identity. However, | now
have something to work on, something
that will produce quick results. DR..
Fitch, you may tell Miss Holcomb
that in my calculations she is entirely
eliminated from participation in the
crime You may inform her also that
the hunt for the thief has begun"
Before the physician recovered
from the pleasant shock Of the de-
tective's words, Britz was hurrying
down the steps.

Word From LOGAN.


A week of agonized suspense in the
Tombs seemed drawn into an eternity
of suffering to Miss Holcomb. Con-
scious of her own innocence, she had,
nevertheless, ceased to struggle
against the relentless fate that mark
ed her as It's victim, Her sensitive
nature recoiled from contact with the
miserable creatures into whose midst
she was suddenly thrust No longer
could she find solace in tears, for the
long drain had exhausted the supply.
The gloom OF her surroundings pene-
trated the innermost sanctuary OF her
soul.
Doctor Fitch was in the reception
room.
A groan, as Of physical pain, came
from Fitch as ne beheld Miss Holcomb

GATHERING NEWS WAS
A PERILOUS TASK

/ MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 15-At-
tempts to cover the great flood story
along the stretch of levees from South
Missouri and Illinois to Arkansas have
involved many personal risks on the
part of newspaper correspondents.
One of the most daring exploits was
successfully essayed by young cub
correspondent who fioated on log on
broke at Hickman. He made his way
to Tiptonville, Tenn, then telephoned
his story of the flight from the Reel
Foot country to Memphis.
Another news writer, pretty young
woman of Hickman county, half
swan, half waded, in imminent peril
to get from her home to the long-dis-
lance telephone that the first definite
story of the rescue of thousand per-
sons at Dorena, Mo-, might reach the
outside world
Of the striking feats of bravery
which stand out in the fight against
the flood, possibly the most conspicu-
Gus has been that of the couriers who
rode in advance of the tide to warn
villagers and farmers out of the path
of the raging stream.
The telephone has been brought
largely into play. Patrols stationed
at menaced points have watched for
crevasses night and day. The mo-
ment a break occurred the patrols
hurried to telephone stations and
warned the countryside.
A farmer who watched for the breach
in st. Francis levee yesterday after
noon mounted his horse when the tide
broke through the enbankment. AS he
started to ride away his wife grasped
the bride of his horse.
Where are you going?" she asked,
with the horse.
ITO warn my neighbors," he re-
piled. you must get to the boats"
The planters wife managed to get |
her children away in safety, while her
husband braved the food, warning the
farmers out of the tides path. The
probably saved scores of lives.

So far as the Inland Empire is con-
cerned there never was a time when
1t was so easy for all the people to
enjoy three good meals every day, and
have plenty of good clothes. There
never was time when the people, as
whole, were so well off. There never
was time when the farmer could
exchange his products including live
stock, for so much of the things he
needs. And yet there never as a
time when there was so much dissatis-
faction. Perhaps it might be well to
take a. few minutes off and do a little
serious thinking. Is there really any
