From that moment Skin O. My Tooth
was a transformed being He always
Is when he has got a case well In
hand" as he calls 1t. He certainly
possesses a weird faculty for following
up the trail of blood. Once he holds
what he believes to be a clue, his whole
appearance changes; his great, fat body
seems, as 1t were, to crouch together
ready for a spring, and there Is a weird
culver about his nostrils which palpably
suggests the bloodhound; only his
eyes remain IDscrutsbly hidden beneath
their thick and f1Ushy lids
It was twelve o'clock the next day
when our train steamed into Pashet
station We had a chase from there
and drove down to Ssltsshe Park,
the IordIy country seat OF MIR. Kelly.
At the door, Skin o Ny Tooth
asked Tor the master of the house; but
hearing that he was out, he requested
that his card might be taken IN to

his head.

He IS innocent, Mr. Mulhgan

closing time, saw the chief cashier,
and explained my Grand and its i'm
portance to him, asking for his kind
help IN the matter. He was courteous
In the extreme, and within a few
moments l had ascertained from him
that checks on Kelly & Co.'S account,
perfectly en- regle, and made out to
:" E. de kerhOet or Bearer" had been
cashed on certain dates which he
gave me. They were IN each instance
presented by commissionaire in

writing as the endorsement on the
checks
The amounts varied between

cashier, still referring to his book
Being bearer checks. and signed in
the usual manner, we had no occasion
to doubt them, and of course We
eashed them The first check was
drawn on July Sd, and the last on
August 18th"
The cashier added one more detail
which fairly staggered me-nameIy,
that the eommissionaire wore a cap
with Kelly & Co" embroidered upon
it. II necessary, there were plenty
OF cashiers and clerks at the bank
who could identify him. He was a
tail man OF marked foreign appearance,
with heavy black hair, beard and
mustache cut very trim On one
occasion when he left he dropped 8
bit of paper which contained the name,
Van Wort, Turf Commission Agent,
Flushing, Holland"
l thanked the cashier and took my
leave
When I got back to the office found
Skin O. My Tooth placidIy sleeping
in his big armchair 1 had had a hard
day and was dead tired, and for the
moment when l saw him there, looking
so fat, so pink and so comfortable,
WE'LL have a great respect for him,
but L really felt quite angry
However, 1 told him what I had
done.
"CaPitaII capital, MugginsI" he
calculated IanguidIy. but, by iove,
that's a clever rascal. That touch
about the name on the cap Is peculiarly
layed the suspicious of the cashiers
at COutts'- Now, listen, Muggins,"
he added, with that sudden, quick
changing mood Of his which IN 3
moment transformed him from the
lazy, apathetic Irish lawyer to the
weird human bloodhound who scents
the track chat foreign commission

SWIFT CONTROLS
PACKING INDUSTRY
IN NEW ENGLAND

BOSTON. Dec. 3O.-It took just two
days Of sharp questioning and cross
examination by Francis ]. Heney,
counsel in the Federal Trade Com
missions hearing on the packing in
dustry situation here, to establish
the fact that Swift & Co. control al
most every slaughterlng and rem
dering plant in the New England
States. and also the hide market.
Armed with broad powers to inves-
tigate all conditions OF the meat in
dustry. the commission here brought
out startling facts regarding combi-
nation methods. all tending to force
the small retail dealer and independ-
ent rendering and slaughtering COM
panies either to sell out or lease to
the controlling element.
Under Swift Control.
1t was shown that stores and
plants throughout New England.
camouflaged under various names.
are directly under the control OF the
Swift interests.
The session OF the Investigation
which closed yesterday will be re-
sumed here in the near future, He
ney announced, and there was prom.
ise OF startling revelations in his
carefully worded statement:
I'VE have scratched only the sur
face"
Heney spoke with calm convictiop
and throughout the hearing he caused
astonishment by his knowledge Of
facts of which even the Witnesses
most OF them meat dealers and rem
dering company officials were
Ignorant. Most of these facts will
not cheer the big packing interests.
Subtle IntImatIOns.
Witnesses told Of mysterious
threats, subtle intimations that
freight delays would result from their
refusal to listen TO reason" ana of
pools to control the trade and soueeze
out the little fellows"
1t was shown that time after time
independent plants fought against
the combination, only to be over
whelmed or bought out in the end
Dealers in an effort to escape the
influence OF the controlling company
often changed to other markets.
which in nearly every case turned
out to be change only in SO far as
the location was concerned.

Of fiscal unity. It is Just as incon-

be neither fiscal unity nor fiscal auton-

both parties are thinking about IL the
old tarir wars between England and
Ireland. put a stop to by Adam Smith

Is stin in the XVIII century. when II Is
not in the XVII. The danger now is not
that these wars will be revived by
home rule, but that. home or no home
rule, Irish industries may be involved In
tariff war between England and the
great powers. In which the interests Of
ireland will be as little considered Is
those Of the Blasket islands.
