up in Glasbury's dump an see for him
self. He seen, all right. How did he get
in first? With key. An where did he
get it? Sho, what's key? Any one can
fix up for key! The thing I'm tellin'
you is that he found out about that door.
An after that it was only an argument
as to when. That was for Maddalna to
tip us to.
"An' she tipped us wrong. She'd got
the idea that Mrs. Fisher was goin' to be
out that afternoon. She'd heard her
'phonin' Mr.. Willin's; an, as Maddalina
got it, the money was to be there for him,
but she, Mrs. Fisher, would be temprily
away That'd mean that Glasbury
wouldn't be there, neither. An, as it was
Jimmys day off on top of it, what more
would anybody want for an open door?
"All right. Come to the day itself, an
us. But, mind you,-an' I'm tellin' you
straight wasn't in that part of it no
more'n to be adviser. Lotufo, he was the
only one of us was ever in them Fisher
rooms. 1t was him went in that day.
We'd found signs that Glasbury was at
home-and we'd gone in, as it happened,
just about two minutes after Glasbury'd
gone out.
"Yes, said Glasbury; "after I'd found
the body and gone out to telephone!'
"You know about that, friend; an
maybe this part of it has all been told be-
fore. What we didn't know was that
frien' Glasbury was going to choose the
same day, an that for croakin' the daniel"
al see, said Laneham; "and you still
believe that Mrs. Fisher was killed by Mr..
Glasbury?'
The man stared. AN who else? Say,
where you gettin' now?"
"Never mind about that. Go ahead
and tell the rest"
"Well, once we was sure of that, an
once we'd learned from the papers that the
jewel box was still waitin' too we made up
our minds to come again, an keep accom-
in. No reason why frien' Glasbury
shouldn't have callers every second night.
We was both swell dressers, at that. So
no need for him to be ashamed of us.
"Only, when it got out that it was
spook job, we decided that wed have to
spook it, too That explains why Lotufo
ghosted himself when he went in the
night he got Hooley. No use denyin'
he did. When he's had time to think it
out, he won't deny it himself. An what,
you'll ask, did he belt him with? Why,
there again we thought we'd play Mr..
Glasbury into it. Since he'd hit Mrs.
Fisher with somethin' leavn' round,
smooth hole about an inch across, that
was the weapon to use in ease another
job'd have to be done in there. An, to
make the weapon, all was needed was to
do a little bendin' an hot-forgin' on pipe
end. There you are again. You'll find
that little golf-stick up in the dump we
had in East Hundred an Twenty-ninth.
Anything else you want to know about?'
INVOLUNTARILY Laneham turned
away from the fellow.
But Judge Bishop was still unsatisfed.
al don't want to know any more about
the later details, Laneham, he said. "But,
as understood it, you were going to tell
us about that door,
"If you care to- the Doctor answered,

you find it for yourself.

"You're quite right" said the Judge
"Laneham, do | tell them at once? God

Better not. It'll come out soon
enough. Gasbury, if you'll finish your
story now, we'll hear the man below"
So Glasbury finished
"There's little more to tell. For the
death of Hooley blame myself as if had
done it myself. There is only this to say:
The two devils themselves had not really
intended murder Till that last night
they believed the pearls were still there
within their reach, that they alone knew
where they We're, and that three minutes

said Laneham. "McGloyne, shall we
have up Horsley?'
"Right away"
THE big Inspector called down from the
landing. Next moment Horsley, the
jewel thief who had been ready to tell his
story, was, with his escort, on the stairs.
They were on the stairs, and they
reached the landing. But at the topmost
stair he suddenly wheeled. In some way
he managed to get one of his hands
free. He was big and powerful man.
His bandaged shoulder seemed to trouble
him but little And with one backward
thrust he sent the patrolman on his right
headlong down. Then he swung the chain
and manacle like sling, and brought it
home across the face of the second police
man, laying him open from lip to ear.
And with a terrific lunge he dove straight
for the landing window.

He was still holding on when McGloyne

FRIENDLY CRITICISM

Cotton said: "In the whole range
of literature, nothing is more enter
tanning, and, l might add, more in
structive, than sound, legitimate
criticism. "
All public matters, and the acts
of all public persons, are subject to
criticism, and, if it is given in a
friendly manner, is not only enter
tanning, but instructive, as stated
in the above quotation.
For a few weeks past promi-
nent citizen, deeply interested in
the welfare of Perrysburg and her
people, has contributed articles to
the Journal in which he has ven
tured to write concerning "What
Perrysburg Needs" His criticism
of existing conditions has been the
subject of much comment among
our people and we have received
many words of approval of his ar
ticles.
1t is, of course, to be expected
that such articles may touch tender
spots somewhere, but they serve to
point out the fact that no person
is so great or so near perfection
that his opinion is always the only
one that is worthy of consideration
The author of the articles is one
who would render any assistance
possible in the upbuilding of the
town and people, regardless of po-
litical or sectarian affiliation, and
only seeks to call attention to those
things which he believes would be
remedied if the people were prop
erly organized and united.
The columns of the Journal are
always open to those who wish to
express their opinions on public
matters, so long as personalities
are omitted.
We invite correspondence.

AFTER FOUR SCORE YEARS

To have lived more than four score
years and to have blessed family and
friends with her gentleness and kind
ly disposition and to pass to the great
beyond with consciousness of having

THE WHITE ELEPHANT

The sewage question in Perrys-
burg was revived last Saturday
day evening at the Civic Rooms.
After listening carefully to all that
was said by different representa-
tives of Toledo, Maumee and Per-
rysburg, the writer inferred that
the agitators were much concerned
over a new law presented recently
at Columbus, which would give the
County commissioners in each h
County the authority to control
sewage.
A new law, giving this authority
to a special board, composed of
civil engineers, seemed to be the
sense of the local meeting resolu-
tions to which effect were passed.
1t seems queer that Perrysburg,
disposing of its sewage according
to the advice of the State Board of
Health given to our local Board of
Health in past years, should suffer
fidgits because of Toledo's $4,000
900 white Elephant.
1t is not admitted that Perrys-
burg is violating State law.
1t is easily understood that some
one blundered when they located
the filtration plant at it's present
site-although it may be conven-
lent to filter their own polluted
water. Any ABC student in hy-
giene would have located it above
lake tide water level, and thus
saved the $3,OO0,00O thing Of
beauty. (but we opine) not a JOY
forever.

MASONS ENTERTAIN

Last Monday night was gala
night for Phoenix lodge f. & AZ M.
as it was the occasion of the visit
of about so members of Toledo
lodge.
There was a good attendance of
the hame members and the work
in the Masters degree was exem-
plified in manner most pleasing,
beautiful and impressive by Toledo
lodge, with Mr.. Frank Palmer as
Master assisted by most efficient
staff of officers.
After conclusion of the work, the
members escorted their guests to

a splendid banquet was spread.
AS soon as the cigars were passed
Mr.. Paul M. Schibrowski, as Mas
ter of Phoenix lodge selected E. l..
Blue to act as toast master, who
bid the visitors a welcome and
then called upon Judge Johnston
who made a brilliant and interest
ing speech, in which he paid high
compliment to the order, to Phoe-
nix lodge and the reception eX-
tended to the Toledo brethren.
Mr.. Palmer as Master of Toledo
lodge was next introduced and af-
ter expressing his sincere apprecia-
ton of the reception rendered HIM
self and brethren, he extended an
invitation for all members of Phoe-
nix to visit Toledo on the evening
of March 13.

Rheinfrank, and Mr.. D. X. Hollen-
beck of Perrysburg, MIR. Herbert
Brockelbank, Rev. E. j. Webster,
and Mr.. Owen Blackmore of Tole-
do, and the 'feast of reason and
flow Of soul' was only interrupted
by the arrival of the car which con-
veyed the brothers of the mystic
tie back to their Toledo homes.
The committee in charge of the
refreshments are entitled to high
praise for their efficient services;
and Mr.. Graft Mouen, who came
over from Maumee to act as Chief
Chef, certainly won a big place in
the hearts of Phoenix lodge men,

There is more Catarrh In this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
fe~ years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney G. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
