is only waiting a favorable time to re-
cover them and escape on a trans Allan

The robberies and the hunt of the
detectives are not without their anus

of professional and amateur detec-

wayiaid acquaintance Of sthe families

auctions on the strength of their
claimed ability to ferret out criminals.
These men have not hesitated to crit

they could solve the riddle forthwith.
