EIGHTH EPISODE
The Hidden Voice.

Jameson, wake up!"
The strain of the Dodge case was
beginning to tell on me, for II was
keeping US at work at all kinds Of
hours to circumvent the Clutchine
Hand. BY far the cleverest criminal
with whom Kennedy had ever had
anything to do.
leaped out of bed, still In my pa
5amas, and stood for q moment staring
about. Then I ran into the living
room. looked about, rubbing my
eyes, startled. No one was there.
"Hey-Jameson-wa up!"
II was spooky.
"Where-the deuce-are your" I de-
manded.
Suddenly I heard the voice again
no doubt about It, either.
scratched my head, puzzled. There
was certainly no one on that couch.
A laugh greeted me. Plainly. though.
It came from the couch. went over
TO II and. ridiculous as It seemed. be-
San to throw aside the pillows.
There lay nothing but . little OBJ
long oaken box. perhaps eight or ten
inches square at the ends. In the face
were two peculiar square holes. and
from the top projected q black disk.
about the size Of . watch. fastened on
. swing metal arm. In the face OF
the disk were several perforated holes.
! picked up the strange looking
thing in wonder, and from that magic
oak box actually came . burst Of
laughter.
Come over to the laboratory. right
away" pealed forth . merry voice.
I've something to show you"
Well" I gasped. what do you
know about that"
Very early that morning Craig had
GOT up. leaving me snoring. Cases
never wearied him. He thrived on ex-
element.
and set to work In q corner over an.
other OF those peculiar boxes. exactly
like that which he had already left In
our rooms.
Half an hour afterward I walked
into the laboratory. feeling q little

DID NOT
GET CARNER'S GOAT
TARIFF BILL PUT WOOL ON FREE
LIST BUT THE TEXANS AN.
CORA WAS MADE SAFE.

~ s
When Bryan and President Wilson
were insisting that wool should go
on the free list, Congressman Jack
Garner of Texas, democratic member
of the ways and means committee,
held out for fifteen per cent duty
on hair of the Angora goat, which un-
der the republican tariff had always
been. classified as "wool, class two"
Two thirds of the Angora goat popu-
lation Of the United States are found
on the plains OF Texas. Garner won
his point. Wool went on the free list
but hair of the Angora goat was pro-
tected. Such startling example of
the beneicence of the protective pol
icy encourages the bard to smite the
Tyre as follows:
