A man, then, whom I would have
considered it a pleasurable duty TO
kill, had me at his mercy. And if I

sen while he was burglarizing my
apartment, the police would newt
ably aske me certain questions which
would not care to answer.
"A sensible man knows when he's

The murderer shook his head.

And now sheer wrath at his inso

The mystery of that much-pic-

1t helps Dawes keep cool with
Coolidge.
Not that the smoke serves as a
sedative and thus keeps the high

though it may have that effect,
too, but the smoke from this par
ticular brand of pipe is supposed
to have lost all of its heat and bite

The stem of the Dawes pipe, as
you have noted from the pictures,
is affixed at the top, not the bot
tom of the bowl. But it enters
merely an outer shell.
There is an inner bowl contain

Roup is one of the most contagious

fowls, and is especially prevalent in
the fall and winter months. 1t is a
contagious catarrhal disease charac-
terized by running at the eyes and
nostrils, pulled eyes, swollen head,
while later on the mouth and throat
become filled with fowl smelling
mucous or cheesy matter. The dis.
ease Is caused by its own special
germ but the germ is fostered by
exposure to cold and draughts, while

birds, dirty quarters, neglect and
