LOOK our ron wRECKERs.

Representatives of the western
stock growers recently have been in
conference with the meat packers, in
understanding and benefit. The
stock growers say they are losing
money. The packers say they can't
help it. Both parties appear to agree
that the government chiefly is at fault
owing to its threatened and actual in
terfeEence with the meat business.
Most persons are convinced that the
least interference by government with
the creation and flew of business the
better. The great industries of this
nation have been built thru the gen
fus of private enterprise. in some cases
daring and imaginative, in many in
stances efficient to a point that has
won the admiration OF the keenest
producers Of Europe. Individual mer-
it and willingness to risk fortunes In
adventures for more wealth have put
this nation far in the front rank of all
others. and any attempt by federal
laws to regulate the impulses of lead
ers in commerce is sure to result in
disaster
When we found the railroads in the
hands of wreckers who buiIded only
for their own pockets we went to the
extreme of corrective legislation. we
put in. Washington an unwieldy body
to make tariff schedules for the roads
which meant death for some and big
earnings for others. We strangied eff
fieiency and put energy in cloak of
plaster of paris We attempted te
have bureaucrats operate the delicate
| mechanism OF our greatest industry.
and ended by destroying the delicate
fabric in which the welfare of the
people as we'll as the shippers is in
terwoven.
We regulated the roads into bank
ruptcy in most of the nation and de.
stroyed all initiative.

THE DETECTIVE Is TOLD OF THE
RAILROAD TICKET.
A Il
CHAPTER LXV.


While the doctor was examining the
butler, Mrs. Gray went upstairs with
the officer. They pounded on her
door, the noise of the officers stick
reverberating thru the house. Then 1
heard the sound of splintering wood.
and knew they had broken in the
door.
All was quiet for a time. I was so
nervous I could scarcely stay where
was. Finally they. the officer and
Mrs. Gray, came down.
Hes gone." the officer announced
laeonically. Now Wen see what he's
carried off with him."
Hes all right now" the doctor
said. HE will not need me any longer
tonight. I'll drop in in the morning"
The butler was resting quietly in
Everett's bed after the bullet in his
shoulder had been extracted. It
struck me as SO comical. 1 laughed
as I followed the officer and Mrs
Gray to my room to see what the bur-
glar had lifted" as he facetiously re-
marked-altho 1 could see nothing
funny in the idea of having my be-
longing stolen.
When we switched on the lights in
my room, it was evident it had been
hurriedly ransacked. I had given tee
burglar his opportunity when I fled
to Mrs. Gray with Hetty. Bureau and
dressing table drawers were pulled out
and their contents scattered over the
floor. Every bit of jewelry save that
which was in the safe in the library
was gone. The sapphires which I had
taken from my bag and left on the
dressing table were missing ,as we'll as
other things. My purse. handsome
gold one Everett had given me, was
gone. 1t held what money 1 had. my
ticket to New York which l had not
thought to redeem, and some toilet
articles.
You made it mighty easy for him, "
the officer said dryly, when 1 told him
of the ticket. TT amt every crook
who gets his getaway with his swag."
Nothing was missing save from my
room. Finally the officer left, and we
were again a normal household. But
none of us thought of sleeping. 1t
was about 2 o'clock, so Mrs. Gray pro-
posed we go into the dining room and
that Hetty find US something to eat.
Cook evidently had heard moth
ing. and Mrs. Gray said it would be
foolish to call her. She slept in the
same part of the house as did the
butler, and so was ignorant of all that
had happened-as he would perhaps
have been had he remained at home
