In Which Thlnes Happen In Half

Hugh Drummond folded up the
piece of paper he was studying and
rose to his feet as the doctor came
into the room. He then pushed a sill
yer box of cigarettes across the table
and waited.
"Your friend" said the doctor, "is

In your diagnosis that wound was
caused by the application OF an un-

as thumbscrew."
The worthy doctor looked at him in
amazement "A thumbscrew, You

briefly. IF you want to know, II

thumb didn't share the same fate"
He blew out cloud of smoke and
smiled inwardly as he noticed the look
of scandalized horror on his compan-
ions face. at isn't his thumb that
concerns me-" he continued; its his
general condition. What's the matter
with hint"
The doctor pursed his lips and
looked wise. while Drummond Won
dered that no one had ever passed a
law allowing men of his type to be
murdered on sight.
His heart seems sound" he an
swered after a welghty pause. "and 1
found nothing wrong with him con-

respect most healthy man. Except

Drummond exploded. "Damnation

Then he controlled himself. 81 beg
your pardon. doctor; had rather a

HIS companion accepted the apology
with an acid bow. "Some form Of

Hugh walked quickly along the pass

At twelve o'clock precisely the bell
rang, announcing Il visitor, and Drum

into the room.

question on which he always let him
self go.
''Sot much meat-no alcohol. Right.
Good morning. doctor. Down the
stairs and straight on. Good morn

and he descended to his waiting car
with cold dlsapproval on his face.
Excuse me, sir The doctor
paused and eyed weli-dressed man
who had spoken to him uncompro-
misingly Am l right in assuming
that you are doctorr'
You are perfectly correct, sir. in

The man smiled: obviously a gen.

his hand on the door OF his car

say the same of his friend" He
stepped into his car. why not 20 up
and see for yOurselff"
The car rolled smoothly into Pic
cadilly, but the man showed no signs
of availing himself or the doctors
suggestion. He turned and walked
rapidly away, and few moments later
in an exclusive West End club
a trunk Call was put through to
Godalming-a call which caused the
recipient to nod his head in satisfac-
tfon and order the Rolls-Royce.
Meanwhile, unconscious OF this sud
den solicitude for his health, Hugh
Drummond was once more occupied
with the piece Of paper he had been
studying on the doctors entrance.
Beyond establishing the fact that the
man In the peculiar condition was
Hiram c. Potts. the American multi
millionaire. he could make nothing
out of II.
'If only I'd managed to get the
whole OF it," he muttered TO himself

FREIGHT RATES ON
GRAIN LOWERED

The Clayton Chamber of Com
merce, thru Secretary J. +. Luns-
ford, yesterday received wire from
II. A. Johnson, freight traffic man
ager of the C. & s., that he had re-
ceived information That the New
Mexico-Texas grain rates would be-
come effective Sept. 10.
This information surely will be
satisfactory to both the farmer who
markets his grain here, and the buy
er, as the new rate will be big re-
duction and gives the local dealer
"a better opportunity to compete with
our Texas towns.
This rate proposition has been one
of the projects that has been han
died by our local Chamber of Com
merce, and it is TO be congratulated
ION tho success achieved.

MANY TOURISTS ARE NOW
PASSING THRU CLAYTON

In order that the readers may
realize the extent of the tourist
travel thru Clayton, we took the time
This week to examine the register
kept by the Pioneer Garage and we
find that in the neighborhoOd of 400
cars have been registered at this
garage. 1t is to be supposed that
other garages of the town have re-
ceived their proportionate share of
patronage.
Besides, many tourists use the
municipal camp grounds. We be-
lieVe that a conservative estimate Of
the cars passing thru Clayton for the
month of July would be 2000 Aver
aging four persons to the car would
mean that 5000 people have passed
thru our town this month. It is
believed that the traffic over the
Colorado-to-Gulf Highway this year
will exceed any previous year.
