The newspaper press in this

OF disaster from flood ever since it's

previous to the present i%nundation

brought death and destruction of
property upon the town. The first OF
these floods occurred in 1906, the very

carelessly hid in the cash-drawer. My
private opinion was that the money
was probably counterfeit and that
when We had solved the mystery we
would find that Hugh Crandall was at
the head of a band Of "slkilful rogues

More than likely they had ~headquar-
tiers somewhere in the vicinity. Prob
ably with the cOnnivance Of the post
master they conducted some sort OF
green goods or other swindlinU game
through Lock Box II. 1t seemed to
me more than possible that Crandall,
taking advantage of Katharine Far
rish's love for him. had shared her
father into some nefarious scheme.
Such a theory would explain her sud
den break with him and might even
account for her fathers terror at the
sight OF the yellow letter that had re-
vealed to her his error. The knowl-
edge OF her fathers plight, too. might
have driven her to try suicide. Old
Elser possibly was one Of the gangs
