viewed the case in my mind. was
strongly tempted to break with him
and continue the investigation my own
way, and yet what had I to gain by it.?
After all, we had learned very little
except that Crandall was conpected
with the mystery. Where We're we
likely to find Crandall? Davis had had
much more experience in tracing men.
He was resourceful, as the method in
which he had affected entrance into
Crandalps apartments showed. Just
as l made up my mind that I would
be wise to continue to follow his lead,
lacking one Of my own, Davis re-
turned, an expression of annoyance on
his face.
Kent" he said, abruptly, you've
got to start at once for Ardway. I had
planned to go out there, but as have
to appear in court tomorrow there is
no use in my going tonight"
'IIl go first thing in the morning, :"
said I, determined to see Louise again
and have talk with her.
There's a train out there at four
o'clock this afternoon" he said, look,
ing up from a schedule he had picked
up in the lobby. ct takes nearly three
hours to get there. Never let a trail
get cold if you can help it"
But" protested.
You can telephone her," he said.
ct is for her sake that you will be
going, and she viii appreciate your
energy in the matter more than any
thing else

had implanted, removed all obstacles

As he flung open the door TO Gran
dall's apartment after unlocking il
with his pass key, Davis turned, and
handing him q coin, said:
Can you get me q hammer and
couple Of tacks till put up z notice ??
Sure, said the janftor, as he tucked
the coin IN his pocket. I'll go down
stairs and get one right away"
The apartment into which he had
admitted Us was a two-room-and-bath
suite, with furnishings indicating that
its occupant was a man of comfort
able means and good taste. There
were some well-chosen pictures on the
wall and fine lot Of books. There
was none Of the display of stage IA
vorites and sporting pictures found in
bachelor dens; but two framed photo
graphs Of Katharine Parrish, one with
an inscription, smiled down from the
walls, almost the only touch of femi-
ninity about the place.
AS soon as the ianitor disappeared
Davis made Decline for a desk that
stood open and began a hasty search
Of the papers. I stepped into the bed
room and glanced about. Something
on the dresser caught my eye and I
crossed and picked it up. I started
as I realized what it was. The small
object in my hand was to me more
and more convincing proof Of Gran
dall's guilt
Come on, Kent" called Davis from
the adjoining room; I've got what I
came for"
Still clutching the object I had
picked up, I returned to the sitting
room to find Davis impatiently wait
ing for me at the head of the stairs.
Quick" he said, lets get out be-
fore the janitor returns. There is no
use waiting to make explanations, as
long as We have all We need"
AS we reached the front door we
heard the janitor shutting up the
stairs, but we were around the corner

CrandaH with the Parrish case, 4
criminal using the mails for Illegal
purposes naturally locates. If possible,
in another state from the scene Of his
operations, foreseeing the better
chance Of legal delays and possible
escape. A criminal working in New
York naturally seeks New Jersey as
headquarters. If CTandau was cOgni-
zant Of the yellow letters, whether his
connection was innocent or guilty, he
naturally would have known or would
have tried TO find out whence they
came. 7 went into his rooms with one
question in my mind and soon
found the answer. In CrandalIs adj
dress book viii there not be some ad-
dress in New Jersey that may give
a cIue?' Almost the first thing I
turned to was this one Of Lock Box
II. Now in the postal business one Of
the first things We learn is that the
criminal always tries to get a post-office
box. For that reason two references
are always required. In spite Of that
precaution, many of the boxes are con
stantly being used for fraudulent pur-
poses. When We find out who rented

close on the trail Of the yellow let

Were there any letters of Katha-
rine Farrish's in the degk?" I asked.
81 guess So" said Davis uncOncern-
eddy Il saw a bundle Of letters in g
woman's handwriting, but I didn't
even look to see whose they were"
7 was disappointed thus far with the
inspectors handling of the case. His
disregard of what appeared TO me to
be vital evidence and the decision he
had made about this address being
that Of the sender Of the yellow let
tiers seemed to me wholly illogical"
You'll grant, of course. that Gran
dali is a morphine user" I yentured.

Bull Made Merry lime.

Two men injured, several more seek
ing refuge in trees, and a panic
among pedestrians, were few of the
results which attended the recent es-
capade of a young and ferocious bull
at Burton-on-Trent, England. The
animal escaped from sale yard, and,
after causing CONSERVATION by its an
tics through several busy thorough
fares, entered a recreation ground,
where it proceeded to play havoc An
inmate of the workhouse was knocked
down. While a man was trying to eff
feet a rescue the animal rushed away,
and knocked down q second person.
While several betook themselves to
trees for safety, one man sought safe
ty behind tree, and for ten minutes
had to continually circle it and defend
himself by his belt. For two hours
all efforts TO capture the animal prov
ed futile, but the eXpedient Of fetching
a herd of COWS had the desired effect.

CHAPTER V.


Where are We going now?" I asked
sarcasticaIIy.
I was thoroughly indignant at the
levity with which the inspector had
received my theory of CrandalI's
guilt. Firmly convinced of my sound
logic, the thought of Davis laughing
at me before Louise ranked. AS I be
gan to eXpound, as forcefully as
could, the reasons for my belief, he
cut me short.
Come along, Harding" he said in
authoritative tones, we've no time to
lose"
Almost before I knew it I found my
self by his side in the taxicab he had
hailed. In my indignation had failed
to hear the direction he gave the
chauffeur.
According to your theory, Mr.. De
tective Kent he said with assumed
gravity, for he was still in a chatting
mood, where would be the best place
for Us to go next?"
ITO Hugh CrandaIi's apartments" I
cried, determined to convince him of
my view Of the case.
THAT is exactly where we are
bound, he replied to my amazement.
But" I stammered, 81 thought from
your manner that you disagreed with
me as to CrandalTs guilt"
q do. 7 doubt every mans guilt
until it is definitely proved. I admit
there is plenty of evidence Of Gran
daII's connection with the case. l do
not admit that any of the evidence yet
shows it to be a guilty connection"
Again I started to explain my rea-
sons for thinking Crandall guilty, but
again he refused to listen.
My dear fellow" he said Gin my
years of Investigating crimes l have
thoroughly learned one lesson, and
that it the unwisdom of Jumping at
conclusions. There is only one rule
that never fails. Collect all the evil
dence possible first and then see to
whom it pOiats. Most detectives, both
professional and amateur, make the
fatal mistake of deciding on a theory
and then setting out to prove it. That
is the reason so many innocent men
are convicted and so many guilty ones
escape. You can prove almost any
thing about anybody if you work hard
enough. Starting out with the theory
that no such man as Napoleon ever
lived, [ could gather many convincing
proofs"

ard social Activities in Fem
mime World.

The modern society woman has
multitude of expenses that her grand
mothes never even dreamed Of: her
visits to the masseuse, the hair
dresser. the chiropodist, are a neces-
sarv part Of her grooming today.
While grandma tucked her switch
g7,iltiIv away in the drawer of her
dressing table and could not be bull
lied into the admission that she used
powder, today her granddaughter I'M
hesitatingly admits that she wears
false braids and curls and that the soft
glow of health on her rounded cheek
was skillfully applied by a perfect
wonder of a beauty doctor.
Social affairs have increased in num-
Der as we'll as in variety, and this
has brought about a great change in
my lady's wardrobe. Our grandmoth-
ers talked about their best dress

And then, like a foolish man, he
fell into the trap and produced the
letter from his pocket to see. The
envelope was not addressed to him;
but a long and severe lecture was

our absence from the rooms.
See what I found" ! exclaimed in
triumph, drawing a silver hypodermic
syringe from my pocket and laying it
on the table "Crandall's morphine
fiend."

unconcernedly. See what l found!"
Tearing off a corner of a menu card

How do you know" I asked in as
constituent. I had supposed that the
one thing of Importance We would be
likely to find in Crandall's apartments
would be a bundle Of Katharine Far
rish's letters. In fact l took it for
granted that they were what Davis
had been searching for in the desk.
1t seemed to me such an obvious thing
I had not suggested it to him, yet
here We were after our visit to the
rooms with only two things-the by
podermic syringe and a pOst-off1ce ad-
dress. Surely there must have been
in those rooms something more def
mite, something more damaging to
Crandan than the things We had OBJ
tanned, and Of the two I believed that
my discovery was the more stgnifi-
cant. How could Davis possibly know
that this was the address from which
the yellow letters emanated?
ct is a simple problem in addition
and subtraction" said Davis. THE
yellow letter connects the Parrish and
Elser cases. Many things connect

WESTERN GANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
uRAL DEVELOPMENT,

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. W. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was rot a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustriOus farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
1,077; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1884; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filed of half a billion busheI crop of
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise,

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
Of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry. potatoes, oats. etc
these things are digested in the small
iutestines, ana if we eat too much,
most Of US do, The organs that should
digest this kind Of food are overcome
by excess Of work, So that fermenta-
ton. indigestion. and q long train of
ails result.
Too much fat also IS hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestibIe foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
