Old Abuses Corrected

Thorn also said that railroad Offices
buying and selling TO themselves the
properties which they held in trust
had also affected the railroad credit.
Thorn thought, however, that this
abuse had not existed In late years.
Railroad credit commenced TO de-
cline In 1910, said Thorn. The actiyi.
ties OF so many regulating commits.
sions did not appear until that time.
Another factor affecting credit at
that time. he said, was an Increase FIN
wages OF 100000 and adverse de.
road revenues. IL was brought out
by Robinson that mismanag e1hent OF
railroads had had q marked effect
upon credit, but, according to Thorn,

good authority on that score" McInerney shrugged his shoulders. You have only to look at him to learn how mistaken a mans fancee may be-" He turned to Hazard. Want to see him?" he asked
 Hazard signified that he did; but Helen was indifferent, having no in- clination to view the prisoner.
 Hazard was shown to a cell where tall, well-knit young fellow lay stretched upon an iron cot. He ap- peared to be in a drunken stupor His handsome. refined face was marred by a ghastly pallor, his black hair was rumpled, and from time to time he moaned and stirred uneasily in his sleep.
 Suddenly Hazard leaned over the sleeper and sniffed. At once the du- bious expression cleared from his face, and in another instant he was back in McInerney's office.
 Its Gentry all right" he assured Helen. Then, to the police captain: Say, don't you bulls know the diff ference between raw whisky and whis- ky that's been drugged? You'd better call a doctor. The booze is on the young fellows clothes, not his breath.
 Send out the word for 'Gyt' Pur- cell, cap. There's been a rotten plant here that you fellows are blind to, and it's more important than ever that you get him. Stick him in soli- tary to get in condition to be worked on tomorrow.
 He and Helen returned to the Suth- erlands, and an hour or so later they were informed that Purcell had been brought in and that Gentry had in a measure recovered his sober senses, though he was still dazed and un- steady
 Five minutes later Felix Hazard swas again in the young mans cell. The talk lasted until long after night fall, at which time the detective left.
 The early hours of the following forenoon Hazard spent with McIner-
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-02-10

AS he and Helen left the detective bureau and proceeded south in La Sale street, the girl observed:
 One thing sure: the police really haven't the slightest idea where How ard Gentry is"
 No, they haven't And they are afraid we'll tag him before they do." His thin face widened in grin. Tt would be joke if they didn't know what to do with him-if they do make the pinch"
 What do you mean?"
 I've an idea the young man can keep them guessing Right now, though, it looks pretty dark for him; yet there is one factor in his favor that made me say what I just did
 Tt is: he was not obliged to frisk his uncles safe to get the $20,000-if his uncle didn't tell that simply to shield him"
 Or" appended Helen, there may be something behind this affair that forces him to remain under cover Something unforeseen may have turned up unexpectedly that caused him to make hurried getaway"
 We haven't hint of anything of the kind yet. We might as well go round to the Palmer house. It's bit early for the night force, but we might pick up something"
 As Hazard had guessed. they did not see any of the night clerks who might have remembered Howard Gen. try but instead one of the young men on day duty.
 AS soon as he heard the nature of their errand and who Felix Hazard and Miss Bertel were, he beckoned to the day house detective, who at that instant was crossing the lobby.
 Immediately the circumstance that Howard Gentry had arrived Tuesday night instead of Wednesday was con- firmed. Then, as an interesting ad- dendum to this, the clerk averred that about 7:30 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the twentieth, man had applied at the desk to see Gentry on matter of pressing importance. In few minutes the man was invited up to Gentry's room. Shortly the young man, accompanied by the stranger, came down in one of the elevators and went hurriedly away. Neither had been since seen about the hotel,

where the young mans baggage still
 remained.
 At this juncture the house detective took up the recital T was just relieving the night man
 when they left. The fellow with MT Gentry was-this is why I came to
 notice them-was 'Gyt' Purcell Felix Hazards eyes took on a pe- | culiar gleam.
 That crook" he exclaimed under
 his breath. Excepting for two short stretches at Joliet he's never been out
 of Chicago. How did he come to be | asking for" The question trailed off
 into deep reflection You're right" confirmed the house | detective, when Hazard did not con. tinue. Hes bad clear through; an
 unpleasant reminder of the old days
 when walked beat" A moment longer Hazard remained plunged in thought, then all at once
 came out of his revery, and with a mumbled "Thanks!" he and Helen de. parted.
 What next?" quered the girl. Police headquarters. I believe ] see a glimmer of light 'Gyt' Purcell why, that names a gold mine of suggestions"
 As they hurried along Hazard re-
 mained thoughtful, seemingly survey
 ing the case from a new angle. Helen
 refrained from breaking into his cogi, l tations and herself reviewed the facts in an effort to grasp whatever fresh development was suggested
 The phase that perplexed her was the implication that Gentry was in
 league with crook as notorious as "Gyt" Purcell.
 Their destination was the old Harri. son street headquarters, where Hazard asked for Captain McInerney, and he and his companion were immediately ushered into the captains presence. Hazard began without preamble. How long will it take you to lay your hands on 'Gyt' Purcell?"
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-02-10
"As long as it will take me to phone

AS long as it will take me to phone Levinskfs pool room and pass the word for him to come in. That's his hangout, you know Whats the hur- ry?"
 Co ahead, then, and do it. I have lunch that he knows a whole lot about the Fleuroy murder"
 The officer studied him an instant, as he reached slowly for his desk in strument.
 "I'll do it." he acquiesced without enthusiasm; Out what's the use? We know pretty much all we need to about that case.'
 What do you mean ?' Hazard quick ly demanded. Helen's eyes took on more alert look because she was beginning to see the drift of her companions hypo- thesis and could not understand Nc lnerney's manner.
 The captain finished with the tele- phone and showed it away from him. Said he:
 Purcell hasn't been at his old hang out today
 T knew he wouldn't be-" Hazard brittily broke in. Get him, cap, be- fore he makes clean getaway" oh, we can get him If necessary But ask: what's the use? Not more than twenty minutes ago the man who did the killing was brought in"
 Hazard could not restrain a start He and Helen exchanged surprised glances.
 You mean Gentry?" he demanded.
 q mean Gentry Right now he's sleeping of as beautiful jag as you ever laid your two eyes on. And if you are interested in the sort of com pany he keeps, he was found in room up over this same Levinski's."
 Again Hazards eyes gleamed. Both he and Helen relaxed from their strained attitude and the latter ap- peared to lose interest.
 Co on, cap" Hazard softly urged, you interest me strangely"
 Well, if you need any further evil dence that he's the man, we found it on him-the three gold dollars taken from Kendal's safe"
 Helen interposed Said she:
 T have very good reasons for be- lieving that MT. Gentry is not a drink ing man. A mans fiancee is pretty

This story throbs with real ism in the words narrowest meaning. 1t Is a faithful ren- dering of an authentic expert ence in the career of a high official of detective agency whose name is household word throughout the English speaking world.
