Marcus Huxelby Moors could not
bring himself To believe hia father had
committed suicide, Notwithstanding no
had been found dead In his office from
gas. the door locked on the inside. and
no evidences of intrusion. In conse-
guence of which II coroner's jury had
decided that he died by his own act.
Marcus discovered that the safe had
been skillfuliy opened. and his fathers
notes of a discovery how to extract
radium from uraninite stolen. lie be-
lieved this intruder was the murderer
and he set himself to the task of run
ming him down. bringing him to JUS
tiee. and clearing his fathers good
name.
II took time. The war intervened.
and Marcus did his Bit with yalor
and credit. Then he returned and once
more took up the trail of the sehemng
murderer. As sergeant In the famous
Royal Northwest Mounted Police he
found the opportunity he desired TO pur-
sue his Investigations.
He had but one purpose--"get your
man and he allowed nothing TO in
terfere with Ii, not even love. And
what an exciting and thrilling story is
given of his efforts and their results.
He was indefatigable. but he was sue
cessful. He got on the trail OF the
chief manipulation of tho gang that
sought TO obtain possession of his
fathers uraninite mine. and learned
that they also were the authors of n
daring and most mysterious theft OF
nearly a haif-million dollars of gold
dust from under the very eyes Of the
mounted police at station in North
western Canada. He fastened both
crimes upon them. after following a
tran that bristled with continual dam
gers, and brought them to justice.
He met his iife-love, of course, and
for awhile 1t did not seem certain that
he would gain her; also. there Is a
brief dread that her father would be
involved in the theft of the gold. But
this calamity was averted. and all ended
well. Thus, the story Is None of love
and adventure most satisfying, and also
it Is further testimony Of the daring
and ability of that famous body OF
law upholders, the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police. whose doings have fur
nished the material for so many tales
of duty and adventure.

more of Edgar A. Guest in the Amer
