by the lake and discovered some one
had been in his cottage during his

the key to Mr.. Morrow's cottage he
went there and found that it had
also been entered and evidently used
for some time for a stopping place.
Mr. Terrill came to town soon after
and found his cottage had been brok-
en- into and quantity of goods TAX
en-. A close watch was maintained
and the last of the week young man
