weeks for failure to keep their dis
tricts free OF undesirable women
May Curtis. owner OF house direct
ly across the street from where Lee
gate was slain. was arrested and
fined in police court on testimony
offered by Police Inspector Hans
Damn.
Rumors were current at police
headquarters that Lcgate had talked
too much regarding conditions near
May Curtis place. and that he had
incurred the III will of other persons.
Tom Walsh. brother officer,
also testified that Legate might
have been slain by bootIegger,
citing an episode In which he
said Legate had asked him TO
Join In knocking over" liquor
runner.
The grand Jury called many wit
nesses who did not testify at the in
quest. and who are believed TO have
furnished much additional evidence
OF corruption and graft In tho depart
ment. That indictments were not re-
turned against several accused per-
sons by the grad jury is supposed to
indicate that their testimony was dis
credited by the character OF the wit
nesses.

aster. She produced a little white
roll. and with high glee opened it
Tor him to see. Wrapped in a min
iature face towel was her comb. a
small brush, and a toothbrush!
Bill then walked, with some .tri-
umph. to the bunk on which Vir-
ginia had slept the night before.
1srd lifting it up, revealed a great
box beneath-bag of rice and
beans, dried apples. marmalade and
canned goods, enough for some
weeks at least
The one thing we haven't got is
meat" Bill told her, except a little
ierky: but there's plenty of that in
Pine woods if we can just find it.
And / don't intend to delay about
that. II the snow gets much deep
or. we'd have to have snowshoes
TO hunt at all"
"You mean-go hunting today?"
"As soon as we can stir up a
meal"
Dressing warmly, then ventured
out into the snowy wastes. Bill
walked in front, breaking trail. He
carried the ancient rifle ready il
his hands.
He earnestly hoped that they

might run into game at once. Later
the moose would go to their winter
feeding grounds, far down the
heights. Every day they delayed,
their chance of procuring meat was
less.
He led her over the ridge to the
marshy shores of Gray Lake. They
waited In the shade of the spruce
Don't make any needless mo-
tions," he cautioned, and don't
speak aloud. They've got eyes and
ears like hawks
1t was not easy to stand still, In
the snow and cold, waiting for
game to appear. Virginia was un-
comfortable within half an hour
shivering and tired
1t was a long wait that they had
beside the lake.
Then the girl felt his hand on
her arm. BE STILL" he whispered
Here he comes"
Although she had never seen such
an animal before, at once she rec
ognized its kind. The spreading
horns, the great frame, the long
grotesque nose belonged only Il
the moose-the greatest of Ameri-
! can wild animals
At the roar of the rife she cried
out in excitement The old bull
had traversed the marshes for the
last time.
The shoulder of bull moose was
! never a load for a weak back.
Bill skinned out the quarter witt
great care; then, STOPPING, worked
it on his back. Virginia took his
gun and led the way back ovel
their snow trail.
Twilight had fallen again wheI
they made the cabin.
Bill showed her how to broil the
steak in its own fat, and he cooked
hot biscuits and macaroni to 81
with it. No meal of her life hat
ever given her greater pleasure
Afterward he lighted his pipe.

While Virginia cooked lunch, Bill
cut young spruce trees and made
a sled; and after the meal pushed
out through the whirling snow to
bring in the remainder of the moose
meat
1t was the work of the whole
afternoon to urge the sled up the
ridge and then draw it home
through the drifts.
Virginia was lonely and depress-
ed all the time Bill was absent.
You can call me Virginia, IL you
want to-" she told him. Last
names are silly out here"
Bill looked his gratitude. and she
helped him prepare the meat.
Some of it he hung Just outside
the cabin door; one of the great
hams was suspended in a spruce
tree, so feet in front of the cabin.

She looked at this man with
