of money; the notorious gunner were
not a myth-murder was their trade
But who, he wondered, could be sc
eager to dissuade him from clearing
up the mystery?
On his Way back to the Sutherland
Office he pondered this question deep
ly, but could find no satisfactory an
swer.
Heffernan promised to obtain com
plete records of both Bardeene and
Destin by the next afternoon, and eau
toned his associate from the western
city to be constantly on his guard.

But this aspect of the affair did not

tel was with him and all business
troubles and worries were for the
time being laid aside.
It was not until he and Helen
emerged upon the sidewalk that the
typewriter threats were brought for
chilly to mind. He guided Helen
through the throng Of pedestrians to
the curb, where the starter already
had summoned aStaxi:
And here Hazard abruptly halted:
the conveyance was not the same one
they had used earlier in the evening,
not the one in which they had come
to the restaurant from the theater and
whose driver he had instructed to
wait.
He had no more than paused in his
progress toward the vehicle when
there came a sudden surging among
the pedestrians surrounding him. The
cab door flew open and at the same
instant he was seized by powerful
hands and roughly hustled toward it.
Helen was separated from him, and
at once he lost sight Of her. AS usual,
when such events are precipitated,
not policeman was in sight.

eral of the spectators awakened, and
in a moment that individual was re-
| ceiving the toughest handling Of his
life,
Then the cab glided away and the
thugs tried to lose themselves in the
crowd. All succeeded save one. The
instant that Hazards right arm was
free he was upon the fellow at his left
and bore him to the walk in a flash.
Fhe man lay face downward, and Haz-
ard twisted his right arm back until
he cried out with pain.
Helen, her fine gray eyes shining
and her face glowing with excitement,
stood watching. To her Hazard said
quietly:
"Get an officer; I think I can use
this chap"
But just then a bluecoat forced his
way through the crowd. Explanations
were quickly made, the thug was led
away to the nearest patrol box, Haz-
ard and Helen hurried into another
taxi, and the episode was over.
At police headquarters, some time
later, after Hazard had seen Helen
safely to her hotel, the detective was

lice conditions where protected inter-
ests are involved. The captain of po-
lice was anxious to conciliate man
of Felix Hazards reputation and
standing, he knew he could not de-
ceive him, and he also knew that any
true confession from the captured
thug would lead him back to dead
wall of helplessness.
There's no chance of getting to the
man higher up through this guy"
averred the captain; "at best we can
only lay our hands upon some ward
man who perhaps got his orders from
the swell who sat next to you at the
show tonight or at the next table to
you at the Broadway restaurant where
you dined, and by the time we'd
worked our way to him-if we could
we'd be in hot water up to our necks.
We can do you no good, but can get
ourselves in bad"
Hazard understood and took the
matter philosophically. LET the fell

act, else she could not have held the
position Of trust and confidence she
did with the Sutherlands. Although
forcibly separated from her escort,
she instantly OWNED what was hap
pening, and swift survey of the scene
gave her all the details of the strata
gem by which at least seven men were
trying to kidnap Hazard. Each OF his
arms was grasped by a man and
third was lifting and pushing the de-
tective from behind. Hazard was help
less, and regardless of the brightly
lighted and crowded street the plot
would have succeeded by its very
boldness and audacity-had 1t not
been for Helen Bertel.
She also observed that four other
husky individuals were plunging this
way and that among the crowd, hurl-
ing the nearest ones away from the
Immediate vicinity and keeping the
space about the cab door clear.
Helen pressed forward, cautiously
alert. A huge, evil-visaged man lunged
violently directly at her-and next IN
slant he went sprawling to the walk.
She had Eeatly tripped him. Then
rushing to the cab door, she slammed
it shut and crouched against 1t with
all her strength, for she knew not
what might come through the open
window.
The plot depended for it's success up
on the rapidity with which it could be
accomplished. Without check or him

sured him, "1m with you. You'll save
us police a lot O. trouble"
The next afternoon Heffernan hand
ed Hazard two closely typewriter
sheets; they were the records of Da-
vid Bardeene and George Destin.
Terse and Unconditional in their phrase
ology, they were nevertheless revela-
t1ons-Bardeene's of deliberately
chosen life of gross sensualism upon
which, fortunately, this chronicle need
touch only in cursory way; while
George Destin's was commonplace
save for one circumstance which will
be brought out presently.
The name of Maxwell Howe was so
frequently linked with Bardeene's
that they may be said to have been
partners in systematic career of evil.
There were descriptions of Eleusinian
revels in apartments which the volup-
tuous imagination of Howe had trans
formed into bowers of rich and ele-
CANT luxury, and in connection with
| these appeared the name of-Idabelle
Valette.
Idabelle Valette, the record showed,
| was twenty; she had lived with her
! widowed mother at a given address
| in Harlem and had worked at one OF
the larger downtown department
stores until January, 1913. Thence
forward her name was so closely as
ISOLATED with Bardeene's and Howe's
| that the appended details of her fate
were mere redundancy.
The significant details of George
| Destin's record was that for two years
he had kept company" with Idabelle
Valette, and it was generally believed
by their acquaintances that they were
] engaged to be married.

ply must find flaws, and in order to do SO, put up a straw
man to knock over. In due time the plans will be given in
detail and then they will have real cause to be nervous. :,
New Freedom, in the article above, fails to distinguishes
between agricultural land and timbe rland. Our law
makers realized that better prices could be secured for
timber lands by permitting them to be sold in large bod
les. Hence they permitted the sale of large tracts of tim
Der to one individual or firm. They also realized that the
best interests of the state would be served by placing a
limit on the amount of agricultural land any person could
buy. Hence they made the limit low.
New Freedom is considerably concerned as to who first
suggested the plan of selling our state lands. Probably
nobody will ever know. The Haley Times was the first
to advocate it, but it is impossible to say wheth-
er the plan originated with the able editor of that paper.
is. D. Taylor publicly advocated the more rapid selling of
these lands four years ago. Mr.. Davis was an advocate of
the plan several years in advance of that time and took ad-
vantage of his first possible opportunity to bring it before
the bubble by proposing a constitutional amendment in the
Senate of the twelfth session, which failed to pass. The
idea was too new. Then he brought it before the State
Bankers meeting the following May, and the leading fin
anciers Of the northwest present at that meeting, both
from within and without the state, gave it their endorse
ment. And yet neither party would take it up. Mr.. Davis
is now taking it to the people and he is getting a hearing.
TIL Press believes Mr.. Davis to be the first to suggest
the plan, inasmuch as he advanced the idea several years
before it appeared in print. However, It is of little impor-
lance who first thought Of it. Many have probably said
it would be a good thing if it could be done. Mr.. Davis is
the only one who has ever developed a plan, absolutely
safe and fool proof, by which it could be done, and then
gone about openly championing it, stalking his fortune
upon it's acceptance by the public.

BARBER & BURRELL, Publishers.
POSSIBLY THE BLUNDER is MISPLACED.

In reply to an article appearing in the columns of The
New Freedom, the Nampa Leader Herald makes an as
founding blunder, when it enumerates the safeguards
thrown around the sale of state lands. 1t endeavors to
show that D. W. Davis, who is making a campaign for
Governor upon a platform demanding the quick sale of
all such lands could not carry out this program, as it would
be contrary to certain provisions of the state constitution.
Now, D. W. Davis, while a Republican, is no fool. He is
perfectly informed as to existing laws and what he pro-
poses is to lead the people to amend the constitution, so
that his plan can be worked out. He shows that it would
do away with taxes for state purposes and would make an
ever increasing fund (f the interest is not used as earn
ed) that would ultimately do away with all taxes.
Mr.. Davis proposition is one that is presented in good
faith and is entitled to fair consideration. But the quib-
BILE of The Leader-Herald is mischievous and ill-founded,
all the more so, as the editor, b. Jness, was for years
register of the state land department and should be as well
posted on the laws governing it's disposal as anyone in the
state. Mr.. Jeness asserts the lands can now only be sold in
parcels and not to exceed 100 acres to an Individual. We
do not have the laws before us but our recollection is very
vivid Of the Potlatch Lumber Company deal by which the
state, at the close of the Brady administration entered in
to a deal to sell some $4,000 acres in a body to that COM
pany; a deal which Governor Hawley, upon assuming Of
flee, had examined and succeeded in cutting down the am
cunt by 5000 acres which the Potlatchers were so determ-
ined to have that they made re-application and obtained it
from the Haines administration. The subserviency of both
the Brady and Haines administrations to this big lum-
Der concern is one of the indictments which the people
hold against the Republican party of Idaho, and which
will make them distrust the Davis proposal. 1t is idle to
quote existing safeguards that are real, without in addi-
