You think yourself smart, but you'll

Just then Honker the Goose and
his flock, who all the time had been
cabling excitedly, began to laugh.
At least 1t sounded that way. This
made Yowler angrier than ever. He
snarled and he growlcd moro than
ever and dug up the ground with
his claws. And he threatened to do
all sorts of terrible things to Paddy
the Beaver.
Paddy didn't say word Those
dreadful threats didn't trouble him
in the least He knew that Yowler
had tried his best many times to
catch him and hadn't been smart
enough to. He didn't believe that
Yowlcr would be any smarter in tho
future, so he didn't worry. Yowler
couldn't possibly be any more OF an
enemy than he always had been. So
Paddy simply grinned ae he listened
to those angry threats.
Finally, still snarlinR and splitting,
Yowlcr went Off through the Green
Forest, for he knew that it would be
useless to try for a dinner Of fine
young Gooss again that night. Honk-

says, In the Ottawa Hospital.
He was first identified at tho hospi-
tai, Mrs. Solomon says, by newspaper
clipping which was found In his pocket,
containing All advertisement which she
had caused to be inserted, giving q
description Of her husband and asking
for information as to his whereabouts.
According to Mrs. Solomon, there was
attached to tho clipping n letter, bear
ing a Montreal date line, which read
as follows:
,"If the police will promise not 70
harm us, We will como and toll them
what has happened to this man. We
arc afraid they will act against US
for smuggling him into Canada"
Found in Old, Shabby Suit
Mrs. Solomon said that when found
her husband was attircd in an old,
shabby gray suit, from which all marks
Of Identification had been removed.

said Mrs. Solomon, who explained that
her husband was in bed under physi-
clans care and could not talk for publi-
cation. "He had no family worries, and
we know Of no enemies. 1t surely is
like to get at the bottom Of it,"
while Mr.. Solomon had had some bust
ness worries, these we're not exccs-
sive. 1t was explained that he former
ly was partner in the Sport Suit and
Coat House, Of 86 West Twcnty-fifth
Street. but that ne had severed his
connection with that concern a year
ago.
But for tho appearance Of the lettsz

night by Andre Tridon. the psychic
analyst, when the main facts were told
to him. e,E

One such case recalled by M. Tridon
was that Of New England clergyman
who, after falling and striking his head
on a curb. became wholly different

not remember his "other self" after re-
covering his own perscnality.'

On The afternoon Of June 2S Of this
year Sol Solomon, we'll to do New
York clothing manufacturer, sought
refuge from the excessive heat by 60
ing to Far Rockaway Reach, where he
donncd bathing suit and went for a
plunge in the soothing surf.
While in the midst Of his abIutions q
heavy object, apparently propelled by
considerable force, came into sudden
and violent contact with the back of
his head.
II have no idca what 10 was that
struck me-" he says. at may have
been floating log or weapon in the
hands OF some one; but whatever it
was it was both hard and solid. 1t cer-
tainly was no jellytish, anyway"
BE that as 1T may, the next clear
recollection Of the incident possessed
by Mr. Solomon was one day last
week when, as hospital patient, he
suddenly hlinked his eyes, looked up
inquiringly at his nurse, and wanted
to know why he had been hauled out
of public ocean in as rude and abrupt
manner as that. Also he threatened
to take the subway to New York and
"call cop"
"Why," said the nurse, "there's no
ocean around here. You arc in St.
Luke's Hospital, in Ottawa, Canada, a
thousand miles from New York. The
local police found you here last night,
lying unconscious under q sidewalk" )"
Memory Of Five Months Blank
From these facts, which are based
on statements given reporter for Tho
Tribune yesterday by the clothing
manufacturers wife and other rcla.
tives. there arose "the mystery Of Sol
Solomon" The Anai chapters OF the
story have vet to be written In solving
tho questions OF where and how he
passed the more than five months OF
his disappearance, and Of whether il
is case Of dual personality or Of kid
mapping.
Mr. Solomon, who WAS brought back
to his homo, 1896 University Avenue,
the Bronx. on Sunday, according to his
relatives, says that. try as hard RS he

Bedtime Stories
Yowler Makes Dreadful Threats
BY Thornton W. Burgess
There's nothing been discovered net
SO silly as an idle threat
Paddy the Beaver.

Not even the bang Of terrible
gun is more startling than is the
unexpected sound of the broad tail
of Paddy the Beaver hitting the
water when he slaps it down with
all his might. And this is the way he
had. slapped it down when he had
made up his mind that two of the
sleeping flock of Honker the Goose
had drifted dangerously near the
shore.
Geese, like all the other people of
the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows, are wide awake the in
slant they open their eyes. They
are Just as wide awake rs if they
had not been asleep at all. They
have to be, for otherwise they would
be almost sure to lose their lives.
So the instant Paddy wakened Honker
and his flock they were wide awake
and started SWIMMING for the middle
stop to ask questions; there would
be time enough for that later.
Now, Yowler the Bob Cat hadn't
seen, Paddy. His eyes had been fixed
on the two Geese which had drifted
in very close to the shore. He had
gathered his feet under him ready to
spring. The sudden noise of Paddy's
tail on the water startled him for
just an instant, and in that instant
those two Geese had awakened and be-
gun to swim out in a hurry. Then
1owler sprang with all his might.
But he was just too late, his claws
just touching the tail feathers of
the nearest Goose. He landed with a
splash in the shallow water, with only
a wetting for his long wait.
Nov, like all members Of the Cat
family, Yowler hates q wetting. He
was now thoroughly wet and had
nothing to show for it. No angrier
Cat ever lived. So hc screeched.
Yes, sir. hc screeched. Then he
waded ashore and shook himself, all
the time splitting and snarling and
growing. He was in a terrible
temper. was Yowler the Bob Cat.
He knew just what had happened
He had heard Paddy slap the water
with his tail as d,nger signal more
than once before. so he knew now
that Paddy had given the alarm. He
guessed that Paddy had been watch
ing and had seen the danger of those
Geese. He couldn't see Paddy. for
Paddy had divcd and come up in The
blackest Of the Black Shadows close
to his house. But he knew that
Paddy wasn't far away and could
hear
"I'lI pay you for this ono Of these
days. he snarled. "you've cheated

CAMEL Ardeu. NIishawaka man.

Of Charles Van Holsbeke's garage.
located at SIG s. Burdett St. Misha-
waka. was acquitted Of the charge

was committed.

ost the first criminal case he has
been interested IN as prosecutor, al
though he had the services OF anoth-
or member OF the St Joseph
county bar TO assist him in
the preparation and trial OF the
case. The evidence relied upon
lv Pros. JeilisCn To convict Ardeel
was circumstantial. and some OF the
threads were not strong enough TO
stand the scrutiny Of the jurors,
even al a time when the crime wave
swceLing over the city and entire
country has an undOubted psyche
logical effect upon every man who
sits as a juror.
Tho new prosecutor introduced
witnesses whose reputation and
manner Of fife would not bear close
scrutiny. which left them open TO at
tack. Pictures OF the scene near the
home OF Van Holsbeke. and OF a
street corner near where Mrs. Irma
Vincent testified she saw the de-
fendant on the night of the fire. were
introduced as exhibits, and showed
that the street lights were not near
the corner and that on a dark night
it would have been impossible for
Mrs. Vincent TO recognize any face.
An almanac was also introduced.
which showed that there was no
moon on the night the alleged crime
was committed. and that Mrs. Vim
cent could not have recognized Ar
decl by moonlight.
Though il was shown on the stand
that Ardeel had made an attack up
on his wife and Van Holsbeke about
two years ago, counsel for the de-
Tense showed that Van HOlsbeke and
Mrs. Ardeel were living alone in thu
house at the time. and that the
woman had not been divorced from
Ardeel. though a complaint for di-
vCrce had been fled.

that was supposed to be able to give
testimony that would clinch the case
for the state, Mrs. LeOna StrObbe-
laere. was finally forced TO admit
that she had been convicted Of as
sauit and battery with intent to kill
her husband by shooting him FIVE
years ago, and that she had been
sentenced TO serve from TO IA
