senger train to pull out of his way, he was so absorbed in thought that he didn't see the peculiar actions of passenger on that train. This person bore in his hatband slip which authorized him to ride another hundred miles on that road, but getting a look at the fat map of MT. Singleton, the passenger had trotted out and hopped from the opposite side of the train. He was in the waiting room, observing MT. Singleton through window, as the train pulled out. Then he took up the trail of the absorbed fat one, and a block to the rear. He saw MT. Singleton enter the stair way leading to regions above MT. Cam pani's shop, and took walk around the block.
 The person who occupied the three rear rooms of the Franklin block was caretaker in name only. Even a correspondence school sleuth might have followed the dusty trail down the hall to MT. Singleton's door, hence there were no false stops at other doors before the stranger tapped on the portal.
 "C'min,H called MT. Singleton as hs threw himself into budnesslike position and . newspaper over the paper-mounted telescope near the window end of the long

across the way. With little finer adjust ment, it was truly remarkable how the very figures on the comgination dial seemed to stand out like numerals on box car MT. Singleton found this dial a subject of in- terest and after several attempts managed to pile some of the geological reports and other ancient literature in such manner as to afford rest for the glass as it stared inquisitively at the safe.
 This having been accomplished, Mir. Sin gleton glanced at his watch, then at the elderly, seedy-looking cashier, who had ceased his janitor work, laid aside his duster and showed symptoms of opening up for the days business. He approached the safe, and Mr. Singleton, 100 feet away, glued an eye to the little end of the tele- scope. As the cashier twirled the knob, MT. Singleton jotted down figures, each preceded by curved mark to right or left. A look of pleasure crossed the puffy face of MT. Singleton as the round door of the safe swung back and the cashier re- moved first black tin box, then number of neat, green and yellow tinted packets.
 For three mornings, MT. Singleton and the cashier enacted this sams program jus about 3 o'clock. Each time MT. Singleton

You probably know what I mean"
 "Meanin', of course, my half of Baldy Taylor's map"
 "The same. You have dug up the whole country around there while was doing time and couldn't get anywhere with it. Baldy was bumped off and took the key to the situation along with him, so it's up to you and me to watch our scraps of paper and try to arrive at something without his help."
 ''I think l get yuh," said MT. Singleton. "Methinks. as the guy says, get the fine point of yer talk. You'd like to get temporary slant at my half of that map. With your faculty for remembering things, you could draw it onto yours and complete the layout. Then you'd slip me the double X@"
 "But hesitate, kind sir" implored the Deacon. "You are forgetting the key to

table. The knob turned, the door swung slowly inward, and the face of Gasburg's newest visitor appeared. It was . thin, middle-aged face, decorated with horn trimmed spectacles and neat little sideburns and topped with conventional hard straw hat. For an instant the eyes behind the clear glass "cheaters" and those in the pudgy face of MT. Singleton remained locked, then the stranger came inside and closed the door behind him before stating:
 Hen, you keep on getting fatter."
 Cant see as you've changed any, ex- cept for couple-a panes of glass in your face and them lamberquins,'s countered MT. Singleton. "How-come? Wocha doin' here in the sticks? I knew you'd work 'em for plenty of good 'time.'"
 The caller moved forward, slid into the spare chair and crossed his thin hands over the handle of his cane before countering:
 "That's question that applies two ways. Whats your graft in this-why, I even forgot to read the sign on the end of the depot-what town is this?"
 "Calls itself Gasburg. Prncipa, occupa- ton of all hands, waiting for somethin' to turn up. Deacon, I'm right glad to see yuh. Have cigar? No, forgot You have no habits worse'n grand larceny and assault with intent. How's tricks since you got out?"

started to throw out a collection of old oil journals, geological reports and maga- zines, Mr. Singleton besought him to de- sist. The reports were right in line with his business he confided, and might come in handy.
 Thus it was that MT. Singleton acquired an office. To be sure he stuck up no sign to guide customers to his lair and occupied his quarters at infrequent hours. On the second morning, when he left the hotel, he carried a roll of important looking papers, geological maps, no doubt. Upon unrolling this parcel in the privacy of his office he disclosed small but efficient looking tele- scope, which he focused and devoted to an inspection of the scenery. Curiously enough, as the small field of the glass rovs1 around, it took in the globular safe in the bank

Harding Sets Nation Example
BY Total Liquor Abstinence

curity of American institutions de-
pends on the attitude that the
wealthy folks of the land take to-
ward the Volstead law. If one law
can be ignored, and an amendment
held in contempt, he fears the whole
self, the President has taken the mat
ter to heart, and while the public
hasn't known it, nevertheless it is
fact that for some time Mr.. Hard
means to keep his household dry and
will refrain even when away from
the White House from accepting the
invitations of friends or their gifts.
No Sudden Development.
Mr.. Harding's sense of increased
responsibility has been no sudden
development, his intimates say. He
has been gradually coming to the
conclusion that the sooner universal
prohibition is actually practiced the
better will it be for the moral fiber
of the nation and the sooner will
come those notifications in existing
law that the people shall desire. His
own prediction is that the longer
prohibition is in effect the greater
the Likelihood that the changes in the
law will be in the direction of effec-
tive enforcement rather than relaxa-
tfon, but even If the sentiment of
the nation were to swing to a ais
per cent beer the chances are that
such change would follow a period
or absolute drought so far as strong
drink Is concerned, instead Of an era
OF continued bootlegging of whisky.
That seems to be the trend of the
Presidents mind at present. So long
as the Volstead law is on the
statute books the PresideE. himself
will set the example Of the nation
in refraininR from acceptiuR amy
pre-Volsteadian drink or any other
from his friends in the intimacy of
the White House circle, for Mr..
Harding has taken the pledge, not in
written form, but with his conscience,
and the time may not be far of when
he will appeal to the nation to do
likewise.

RAWL1NS, Wyo., June 26.-Presi-
dent Harding has become total
abstainer. He meant literally the
speech he delivered at Denver ap-
pealing to the people of America to
give. up strong drink even though
their stocks were lawfully acquired
before the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead act were adopted Mr. Hard
ing, it was learned today, feels very
deeply that as chief executive of the
nation he should set an example of
restraint, although there is no law
against drinking liquor one has legal
ly acquired. and Mr.. Harding violated
no law in taking an occasional drink
in the White House.
1t has become known that in the
last several months the President has
refused gifts from close personal
friends, and has told them he meant
to conform to the implica tfons Of the
law as we'll as it's specific obligations.
Since the Harding administration be-
gan no liquor has ever been served
at the table for official guests.
Feel Glass Rivalry Keenly.
Close reading of the Presidents
speech at Denver will reveal that he
feels very keenly the rivalry OF
classes in America; the resentment
of the working people over the fact
that the rich can secure all the liquor
they want, irrespective of price
What Mr.. Harding realizes. Of course
Is that there always will be available,
through one channel or another, some
supply from sources that cannot be
stopped to the wealthy. Mr.. Harding
appeals In the hope that they will
voluntarily abstain from violating the
law in purchasing liquor, and that
they will either DESTROY what they
have or fail to renew their supply
when 1t is exhausted.
The President thinks the very se-
