Work Touches Many Angles.
The work of the officer has many
angles. Ordinarily humane officer
is supposed to watch out for mis-
treatment of dumb animals and be a
nemesis to those who take advantage
of their pets or beasts Of burden. HUI
name officer Karnes has also always
gone in investigate cases where he
heard that men, women or children
were suffering; during the year he
used the power given him by virtue
of his office to come to the aid of
twelve children whom he found abus-
ed by their parents and also to aid
eight wives who were mistreated by
their husbands.
Preferring to use reason rather
than force he demonstrated with most
of them and gained the results de-
sired; in the one instance given above
he resorted to legal measures and
brought the offender into the tolls Of
the law.

WHISKY RUNNERS

John BARLEY, noted criminal In
vestigator. recently returned from
Secret Service work during the
war, is asked by the governor OF
New York to investigate a mys-
ferrous attempted robbery of the
Robert Slyke home at Circle Lake,
near Saratoga, and to establish the
guilt or innocence of two men in
the penitentiary for the crime. A
miscarriage of justice is suspected.
BARLEY finds in it the restaging of
an old case, is interested and agrees
to solve the mystery. With his
friend, Pelt, q newspaper man,
BARLEY goes to Circle Lake, the
pair becoming the guests of Bob
Currie, an old friend. The three
visit the Slyke home. Slyke re-
sents Bartley's coming, saying he
is satisfied the two men in prison
are guilty. BARLEY is not. Next
morning Slyke is found dead in
bed, apparently having shot him
self. Miss Potter, the dead mans
sister-in-law, the village police
chief, Roche, and the family ply

killed himself, but Barley insists

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
ing Lifetime of Individual.

The finger print is a scientific method
Of Identification. A movement is afoot
in Michigan for a statewide registra-
ton system under which every one
would be finger-printed. 1t is also
planned by the government to establish
a central bureau Of Identification with
a national registration. 1t is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, as PSYCHOLOGISTS tell US
that the tissues of the entire body
change once in about seven years, but
whorls, curves and lines of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formity with the lines Of childhood.

He paused. then added suddenly,
'Listenl There ii Is once more"
This time we all heard the. faint
sound of a motor running slowly and
with difficulty. There was no doubt
of 1t; 1t came from the woods before
us. It sounded az If car we're run
ming a few feet, then stopping, as 1t
would do on a very bad road when
having difficulty in getting through.
AS we stood listening to the strange
sound coming through the woods,
BARLEY said: you say, Currie, that
there Is no road there, yet by the
sound of it 1 should say that was a
truck. What do you say to going and
finding out what it neans?"
Currie gave an exclamation of dis
gust. But it's none Of our business,
John"
"Just at the present moment, every
thing that takes place on Sykes es-
tate Is our business. 1 want to know
what a car is doing in those woods at
this time of night"
"Oh, I'm game If the rest Of you
are" Currie responded.
With a caution from BARLEY not to
make any noise, we left the road and
entered the woods. 1t was lucky for
US that there were not many vines or
much underbrush, or we should not
have gotten very far. There was no
path, and we fell over sturlps and
broken branches and bumped into
trees at almost every step. Barley
had a pocket torch with him, but he
did not want to use 1t. Once or
twice. though, he did flash it for a
second so that we could disentangle
ourselves from the vines that had
wrapped themselves around our feet.
We had not heard the motor for
several moments when a car doomed

ness ahead of US that we almost fell
over 1t. 1t was a great truck, loaded

MOON is NOT DEAD WORLD

Astronomers cling to the old

is surrounded by a mountain ring

AS the truck, lurching from side to

miles an hour, we had no difficulty in
keeping up with it. We had followed
1t for perhaps five minutes when it
came out suddenly onto the road that
Currie said led to Sykes house. Here
it paused. the motor running softly.
We crept closer and heard a voice
say, "Well, Jim, here's to luck. We
will make a run of It."
Just at this moment Currie tripped
over a root. He tried to save himself,
grabbed at my arm, missed, and went
to the ground with loud crash. AS
he fell, BARLEY jerked me to one side
and threw me on my face. The sound
of Currie's fall was like a young

one of the men turn and fire. The

Bartley's light flashed over him, we

APPEALS TO KILL
INDICTMENT BEGUN
Counsel Present Arguments
in Lumber War Fraud
Case.

Justice Bailey of the District Su-
preme Court today took under adj
visement arguments Of counsel in the
war fraud lumber indictment on the
question of the invalidating of the
indictment by reason of the alleged
unauthorized presence in the grand
jury room of J. G. Winston, a stenog-
rapher of the Department of Jus
tice. Those indicted are John L.
Phillips, republican committeeman
from Georgia.; John Stephens. his
partner in the lumber business; En-
nest c. Moore. former sales director
of the War Department; Charles s..
Shotwell, George NJ. Chambers, Frank
T. Sullivan, Roland Perry, Charles
Phillips. jr, Gus Bitten and Mitchell
A. Touart, jr.
Counsel for the accused claim that
Winston acted only as a stenographer
and his designation as a special as
sistant to the Attorney General was
unsound. The government denied this
and asserted that Mr.. Winston was
duly appointed by the Attorney Gen
eral and was thereby authorized to
be present in the grand jury room
when the witnesses were examined.
The lawyers for the accused averred
that his presence was unauthorized
and that 1T invalidated the indict-
ment.
Attorneys Conrad H. Syme and
George Sullivan appeared for the
accused.
