charge of breaking into cars of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railways standing on sid
ings in the yards of the West Street
Station. and maliciously destroying
the metal containers of drinking cups,
while Adams and Spencer are accused

fears several days ago. 1t is claimed
frequent acts of the sort have been
committed. In course OF the hearing,
Spencer gave testimony to the effect
that two older colored men made an
offer of 81 to break the part of the
penny slot-containers and get the
money therefrom, and that Digges
tho yuonger of the three, attempted

Much For Whole Year
QUALITY VS.. QUANTITY

George /. Gardiner, while referring
to the tobacco situation at La Plata
the other day, spoke very encourag-
ingly. saying that the association had
sold last week one-third as much to-
bacco as it sold the entire rsof
1920. at satisfactory prices. taking all
things into consideration. He also
spoke very highly of the cooperation
of the State Tobacco Inspector, Mr..
Blackjack. and his assistants in get
ting the old tobacco re-inspected of
which about 1900 hogsheads have
been recently sold
He said, however. that conditions
have now reached a point where for
the next thirty days it will be almost
an impossibility to get the old tobacco
re-inspected, but he thinks that the
farmer will gain by this, as recent
sales of this old tobacco were slightly
better on account of the poor outlook
for the 1921 crop, and the fact that
the farmers of the tobacco growing
area of Maryland seem TO be just
realizing that they were within an
hours run of the big city by truck,
and this connected with the fact that
there has been established large

CHAPTER V.
In Which There Is Trouble at Goring.
 ONE.

The car slowed up before the post office and Hugh got out. There were one or two things he proposed to do in London before going to Goring, and it struck him that a wire to Peter Darrell might allay that gentleman's uneasiness if he was late in getting down. So new was he to the tortuous ways of crime. that the foolishness of the proceeding never entered his head; up to date in his life, if he had wished to send wire he had sent one. And so it may be deemed sheer luke on his part, that a man dawdling by the counter aroused his suspicious. He was a perfectly or dinary man, chatting casually with the girl on the other side; but it chanced that, just as Hugh was hold ing the postoffice pencil up, and gag ing at it's so-called point with an air of resigned anguish, the perfectly or .dinary man ceased chatting and looked at him. Hugh caught his eye for fleeting second then the con versation continued. And as he turned to pull out the pad of forms, it struck him that the man had looked away just trifle too quickly. ..
 grin spread slowly over his face, and after moments hesitation he proceeded to compose a short wire. He wrote it in black letters for addi- tional clearness; he also pressed his hardest, as befitting blunt pencil. Then with the form in his hand he ad- vanced to the counter.
 "How long will it take to deliver in London?" he asked the girl
 The girl was not helpful. It de pended, he gathered, on variety of circumstances, of which not the least was the perfectly ordinary man who talked so charmingly.
 q don't think Fll bother, then" he said, thrusting the wire into his pocket. Good morning. ."
 He walked to the door, and shortly afterward his car rolled down the street
 With what the girl considered pecu- liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary man concluded his conversation with her, and decided that he too would send wire. And then, after a long and thoughtful pause at the writing bench, she distinctly Eeard an unmis- takable "D-n." Then he walked out, and she saw him no more.

"Every time ! sit down to a juicy steak now i give thanks to Taniac for taking ne off that milk and hush diet 1 had to live on for veal" said Joseph k. Towns, the well-known ana popular proprietor of the Sanitary Meat Market, of Marshall, Mich.
 q had stomach trouble of the worst sort and was going down hill so fast 1 thought I would have to give up my business. 1 was so nervous and worried 1 dreaded to see night come as it meant little for me and then in the morning I was so Jagged out I dreaded to go to my market.
 "The money I spent for Tanlac was the best investment l ever made. never dreamed medicine could do the work it did for me. Three bottles was all needed to make me as sound as a dollar. l never felt better or more like working in my life than I do right now. I eat anything 1 want, my stomach Is in good shape and am brimful of energy. 1 sleep all night without turning over and get up In the morning as happy as boy.

Moreover. if is to De regretted that the perfectly ordinary man told lie little later in the day, when giving his report to some one whose neck ap- parently inconvenienced him greatly. But then lie is frequently more tactful than the truth, and to have announced that the sole result of his mornings labors had been to decipher wire addressed to The Films, which contained the cryptic remark, "Stung again. stiff neck, stung again." would not have been tactful. So he lied, as has been stated, thereby showing his wisdom.
 But though Drummond chuckled to himself as the car rushed through the fresh morning air, once or twice a gleam that was not altogether amuse- ment shone in his eyes. For four years he had played one game where no mistakes were allowed; the little incident of the postofiice had helped to bring to his mind the certainty that he had now embarked on another where the conditions were much the same. That he had scored up to date was luck rather than good manage ment, and he was far too shrewd not to realize it. Now he was marked, and luck with marked man cannot be tempted loo far.
 Alone and practically unguarded he had challenged a gang of international criminals; gang not only utterly un- scrupulous, but controlled by mas ter mind. Of it's power as yet he had no clear idea; of it's size and imme- diate object he had even less. Per haps it was as we'll Had he realized even dimly the immensity of the is- sues he was up against, had he had but an inkling of the magnitude of the plot conceived in the sinister brain of his host of the previous evening then, cheery optimist though he was even Hugh Drummond might have wavered. But he had no such inkling and so the gleam in his eyes was but | transitory, the chuckle that succeeded it more whole-hearted than before Was it not sport in land flowing with strikes and profiteers sport such as his soul loved?
 T am afraid Mullings," he said as his car stopped in front of his club, that the kindly gentleman witt whom we spent last night has re pudiated his obligations. He refuses to meet the bill l gave him for your services. Just wait here moment
 He went inside, returning in few moments with folded check Wound the corner, Mullings, and an obliging fellah in black coat will shovel you out the necessary Brad burys"
 The man glanced at the check. Fifty pounds, sir." he gasped ''Why-it's too much, sir.
 "The laborer. Mullings, is worthy | of his hire. You have been of the | very greatest assistance to me; and 1 Incidentally, it Is more than likely that I may want you again. Now, where can I get hold of you?"
 "13 Green Street, 'Oxton, sir, II al ways find me. And any time, sir, as you wants me, I'd like to come just for the sport of the thing"
 Hugh grinned.
 Good lad And it may be sooner than you think"
