do you say, friend Downs?"
The Methodist minister, an elderly
person. looked a trifle dashed for a
moment or two. and then heartily de-
clared himself as with Father Ma
loney. Whereupon Mr.. Maltby said
he guessed 1t would be all right, pro-
yided Mr.. Squires promised not to

Harry Squires promptly announced
that he intended to save labor and
space by stating briefly and concisely
that II any of his feminine readers

alphabetically by consulting the tele-
phone book.
The outcome of the meeting may
be recorded in very few words, al
though a great many were required
in its achievement. After Mr..
Squires had announced that any man
who voted in the negative would
automatically convict himself, there
wasn't a man present who failed to
subscribe fifty cents toward the civic
honor fund. 1t was found, on COM
putation, that the total amount was
one hundred nine dollars and fifty
cents. Marshal Crow at once in
creased his contribution to one dollar,
declaring 1t would be notifying to
offer a reward of less than one hum
dred and ten dollars to any decent,
detective.

the batting case, and it was so

than magnanimous. He as much as
said that he couldn't bear the idea
that any one of his numerous friendR
was innocent.
Now, while Mr.. Loop may feel
that he is being extremely generous,
we must feel otherwise. Gentlemen,
we have arrived at the point where
we must take our regulations out of
Eliphalet Loops hands. We cannot
afford to let him trifie with them any
longer. Mr.. Loop refused to employ
a detective. Therefore 1t is up to US
to secure the services of competent,
experienced sleuth who can and will
establish our innocence. 1t will cost
us little money, possibly fifty cents
apiece but what is that compared to
fair name? am confident that
there isn't a man here who wouldn't
give as much as ten dollars, even If
he had to steal 1t, in order to protect
his honor. Now, gentlemen, you
know what we are here for. The
meeting is open for suggestions and
discussion"
He sat down. but almost instantly
arose, his gaze fixed on an object in
the rear of the hall.

in, Perhaps he has some news for us.
Have you anything to say, Mr..
Loop?"
Mr., Loop got UP and cleared his
throat.
"Nothin'," said he, except that
I'm as willin' as anybody to subscribe
fifty cents"
Harry Squires suddenly put his
hand over his mouth and turned to
Marshal Crow. The Marshal arose.

The Astonishing Acts of Anna

I out OF Gertrude, but something told
him that 1t wasn't the country air
that was doing it. She weighed in
the neighborhood of one hundred and
fifty pounds when she few in for the
visit. AT the end OF six months she
strained the scales at two hundred
and twenty. There was a good deal
of horse-sense in his contention that
II all this additional weight was
country air, she'd have to be pretty
securely anchored or she'd float away
like balloon.
But he did not openly complain.
He had acquired the wisdom of the
vanquished. He was surrounded by
conquerors. Moreover, at butchering-
time. he had seen his wife pick up a
squealing shoat with one hand and
slit its throat with the other in such
skillful and efficient manner that
goosehesh crept out all over his body
when he thought of It.
And during those long, solitary
nights IN the barn he thought of IL
so constantly that everything else,
including the encroachment Of the
homewrecker, slipped his mind COM
pletely. He never ceased wondering
how he screwed up the courage to
institute proceedings against Anna
notwithstanding the fact that the
matter had been vicariously attended
to by his lawyer and a deputy from
the county sheriff's office.
Marshal Grow fell into a state OF
profound cogitation after leaving Mr.
Loop. The old man had put a new
idea into his head. Late in the after
noon he decided to call meeting OF
citizens at the town hall for that
night. He drafted the assistance OF
such able idlers as ALT Reesling. Newt
Spratt, Rush Apologize, Henry Plumb
and Situate M. Jones, and ordered
them to impress upon all male citi-
zens of Tinkletown between the ages
of twenty-one and seventy-five the

Anderson Grow, wearing all his
decorations, occupied chair between
Mr.. Founder and Harry Squires, the
Banner reporter, who arose and
stated the object of the meeting.
Gentlemen" he began, "the time
has come for action. We have been
patient long enough. A small COM
mittee of citizens got together today,
and acting upon the suggestion of our
distinguished Marshal, decided to
make determined effort to restore
peace and confidence into the home
of practically every gentleman in this
community. 1t is moral certainty
that all of us can't be the individual
In Mr.. Loops woodpile, but it is also
more or less an immoral certainty
that Mrs. Loop obstfnately refuses to
vindicate an overwhelming majority
of the citizens of this town.
"The situation Is fntolerable. We
are in a painful state of perplexity.
One of US, gentlemen, appears to be
Lothario. The question naturally
arises: which one of us is it? No
body answers. AS matter of fact,
up to date, nobody has actually de-
MED the chargee. Can it be a matter
Of false pride with us? Ahem! How
ever. not only does Mrs. Loop decline
to lift the shadow of doubt, but Mr..
Loop has assumed most determined
and uncharitable attitude toward his
friends and neighbors. He positively
refuses to come to our rescue. We
have put up with Mr.. Loop for a
great many years, gentlemen, and
what do we get for our pains? Moth

shall today proposed to Mr.. Loop that

apprehension Of the man in the case.

lquaintances. What does Mr.. Loop
