looking in the direction OF the desk
he observed that the cash register
was not in its accustomed place. He
quizzed the night clerk. who was
taking little nap an one end OF the
office. and he also noticed that the
cash register had disappeared. An in
vestigation developed the fact that
the room engaged by the Syrian had
not been occupied and that the man
was missing. Still later the register
was found In the alley in the rear Of
the hotel, II had been broken open
by removing the bottom, and the con

mechanism was not injured and IL
still works as Of old. There is no
