he disappeared he had gone off on his
bicycle.
From all I have learned" I said in
conclusion, 81 am convinced that Rou-
ser was the tool-in all probability the
innocent tool-of Hugh Crandall in
carrying out his ~nefarious schemes.
Crandall apparently had him take the
Lock Box II mail to some agreed
meeting-place. 1t would not surprise
me in the least if CrandaIl, finding
himself in danger of exposure, had
made away with the postmaster. 1
am convinced that Crandall is aware
that he is being watched. In his des-
peration he had the hardihood to visit
the Parrish home and to abstract that
fragment of the yellow letter, lest it
should be used as evidence against
him. l am convinced, too, that he has
succeeded in terrorizing Louise. by
the same methods that he used with
her sister, so that she is trying to dis
suade me from pursuing Crandall.
Rouser, when he left the post office,
went away on his wheel on the road
that leads from the station. If you fol
low that road with me-, perhaps we can
find him. Pretty good for one days
work, don't you think?"
"Not bad" said Davis, eff only you
would not persist in mistaking your
own deductions for facts; but you
overlooked the most important fact"
What do you mean?"
"You didn't happen to find out from
Miss Cox or from the Widow Smith,
did you, whether or not the missing
postmaster was left-handed?"
whats that got to do with it?" l
cried, convinced that as usual he was
amusing himself at my expense.
Much more than you think" he
answered gravely. cit was the knowl-
edge that the criminal must, or at
least one of the pair, must have been
q left-handed man that gave me one Of
the most important clues in this case"
"Confound you and your clues!" I
exclaimed. Where have they led
you? What more do you know about
this chain of crime than when we
~started?"
He listened unrufied to my TRADE
and as finished remarked calmly:
Il only know this much: Constable
Dodds and I are going out at eight
o'clock tonight to arrest. the missing
| postmaster and his accomplice. l
know where they both are, or where
they will be tonight. You may come

going to get a couple of hours sleep.
expect we will have a rather busy
night Of it."
AS he concluded his amazing state
ment he rolled over on his side and
closed his eyes,, and in a few seconds
was apparently fast asleep.

CHAPTER XII.
The Ride in the Dark.

Not since my early boyhood has the
terrible fear of darkness come over
me as it did that night at eight as the
three Of us set out from Ardway. The
mystery Of the journey, too, added to
it's terrors. l had not seen Davis after
his startling announcement Of his
nocturnal mission until he came into
the hotel dining-room for supper. All
through the meal he had laughed and
chatted on all sorts of immaterial sub
jects, influenced undoubtedly by the
fact that there were several others
seated at the table with us. There
had been no opportunity for private
conversation between US before we
left the hotel together a little before
eight for a side street where Dodds,
the constable, was waiting for us with
a vehicle.
We had fingered at the table until
all the others had left. Just as we
got up, Davis turned to me and in a
hardly p%erceptible tone asked:
Have you got that revolver I gave
your"
tits upstairs" i answered, in the
same understone. do you want ito"
NO" he said significantly, touching
his hip pocket, "but you may"
fastened upstairs to get the
weapon and when I returned he was
waiting for me at the door and hurried
me around the corner and into the
blackboard. With Dodds crowded in
between US we drove along the street
leading away from the station and
soon struck what is locally known as
the Plank Road, skirting a chain of
hills which the residents dignity by
the name Of mountains. So precipit-
Gus and rocky are these that little eff
fort had been made to cultivate them

insisting that drop the investigation;
how I had seen her again, crossing
the ferry with Crandall in the ma
chine; how l had returned to Ard
way and had learned that Lock Box II
was held in the name Of Henry Nal

master himself had been in the habit
of putting the mail that came to that
address into his own pocket and go
ing off with it. and finally, how Miss
Cox and I had determined that when

gresham who had severed his
connection with a certain clique
of bosses:
There's some dispute as to
whether the man left this clique
on ethical grounds or whether he
was kicked out.
THE dispute reminds Of a con-

a fashionable restaurant.
Mrs. Blanc said the first
woman, over a seasonable dish
of turkey and cranberry sauce
Mrs. Blanc isn't in your set any

No, poor thing! She had to

A SENATE.

The appeals made by Governor
Wilson in the closing days of the
presidential campaign to give
him a Democratic Congress if
the great reforms he is pledged
to carry out are not to be defer
red by the opposition of a Re
publican Senate with reactionary
ideas, met with a favorable re-
Spouse from the voters.
The indications are that the
Senate will have a Democratic
majority which may be depended
upon to stand with the Demo
cratic President in the fulflment
of the pledges he has made. The
people seemed to realize how
necessary it was to give him a
Congress in sympathy with his
policies, for they expect with the
election of Governor Wilson to
see needed tariff and fiscal re-
forms carried out, and this would
be impossible unless his hands
were upheld in Washington.

SALARY NOT PAID.
General School Board May Resent Action
Of state School Board.

Baton Rouge, Nov. Sit be-
came known today that the Gen
eral Board Of Education had not
made the first quarterly payment
of the salary Of A. C. Bernard,
the new high school inspector,
who was elected by the state
Board of Education to succeed
Leo NJ. Favrot.
The high school inspector is
elected by the State Board of
Education and is usually named
BY the Department of Education
and the General Educational
Board, which pays his salary.
There have been but three men
to hold the office since the Gen
earl Education Board argeed to
make appropriation for Louisi-
ana. S. E. Weber, of Pennsyl-
vania, was selected by Superin-
tendent AsWell as high school in
spector, and served during DIR.
AsWell's superintendeney and
well into that of Prof. Harris.
Leo M. Favrot was next selected.
In both instances the State Board
elected after the selections had
been made.
At the last meeting of the
board A. G. Bernard of st. Mar
tin parish, was elected and Leo
M. Favrot was put out. The
General Educational Board,
which has its headquarters in.
New York, wrote at the time
that it was well pleased with the
services of Mr.. Favrot, but gave
no positive statement what would
be its attitude should the State
Board make a selection that did
not meet with its approval.
The first quarter-remittanee
time from the General Education
al Board has rolled around and
no check has been received to
pay the salary and expenses of
the high school inspector. One
letter has been received from the
General Educational Board. stat
ing that it was presumed that
Louisiana did not want its money.
The members of the General Ed
ueational Board have not held a
meeting since the action of the
State Board in displacing Mr..
and eleeting Mr.. Bernard.
is understood that the board
meets in December, and some
fosmal action with reference to
sae cooperation with Louisiana
n the high school work under
present conditions will doubt
ess be made.
