crime and must be given the lion's
share of the glory.
When Mr.. Guy arrived at the Ex-
press office about O'Clock, on un-
locking the door and entering, he was
amazed to find three windows open,
and, scenting a dark crime, he next
proceeded to take look at the iron
safe, where the strong-box containing
thousands of dollars in treasure,
more or less. taken in during the
course of a days business, is kept.
Just as I expected said he, as he
discovered that the door of the safe
was open.

next deduction, as he glanced at the
three open windows and at the same
time started to the telephone to break
the news to the "Ole Man. who was
then eating breakfast at home. "Ex-
anime the cash drawerr said Mr..
Smith over the phone, as he swallowed
partially masticated mass Of bread
and bacon. Mr.. Guy obeyed instruc-
tions and reported that he found only
some small change left in the drawer.
Mr.. Smith claims that he finished
his breakfast, but corroborative evi-
dence on this point is. lacking At any
rate he was soon on his way to town
and he stopped at the police station
to report the crime. Chief Anderson
happened to be there and he started

Mr.. Smith, closely followed by the
officers, all shifting the air and peer

blue clues, enters the office and pro

hasty examination he waves his hand
at the army Of cops and says, Its all

The drawer contained some papers
underneath which was small amount
