This northeastern political gar

regarded as a forecast Of the ma

In 1920 the republicans elected a
governor by a majority Of $4,000
and Harding received a majority OF
65 900 over Cox in the national elec-

as he followed at a more letsurely gait,
pausing to light cigarette from a
crumpled package which he exhumed
from his overcoat pocket, 'he may

Peters evening assignment was by
no means concluded. He returned to
the dark and almost invisible 'Bossy at
the corner, and looked carefully up and
down both streets before he decided
that he might properly venture the glow
OF his lighted cigarette behind the side
curtains.
He did not know precisely what he
was waiting for, but he waited in a
state of alert quieScence. If the police
should force the pace and come with a
warrant to search the house, Peter was
going to be there.

fairly sure to be held as material wit

and Peter was of the opinion that Els
worth would bear with equanimity Mrs.
Kane's absence from his house. Or
something altogether unforeseen might
break. You never could tell. He might
better have followed Ellsworth; but
after all, he had nothing to go on there
and anyway, his present job was with
the house.

MARSH MURDER ss1irv sass

Copyright, 1928, By Ben Syndicate, Inc

"I have nothing whatever to say In
which the public is interested" The
voice was controlled, but the heavy
browS drew together in a single line
across Don Ellsworth'S forehead.
I'm sorry, but the public already is
interested. It's painful to you. but you
can't help it. Certainly I can't help it.
It's news. That news will be printed,
despite you and me.
IF it we're news about somebody else
you'd read it. It happens to be news
about you, and other people insist on
reading it. Believe me, I'm not in
vading your privacy because it's my
personal idea of fun. But If you an
say will derive an immense advantage
from being said by you of your own
free will. You can't keep the public
out of it, so you'd better have them on
your side. I'm giving you your chance" Z"
Peter spoke rapidly emphatically, but
without raising his voice. His head was
thrust little forward, his bright, near
sighted gray eyes steadily fixed on the
dark face before him. -
He saw that face whiten about the
lips, saw the veins bulge at the tenn
ples-and stepped back just in time to
avoid the lunging sidewise blow whose

him.
Don required Peters steadying touch
on his elbow to recover his balance and
prevent his plunging forward down the
steps. He was not even conscious Of
that briefly supporting hand.
II may not keep the public out, but
I can keep you out!" he said, turning
toward the er7vague blot of shadow on the
dafkened porch which was Peter And
every other newspaper reporter, too.
I've not one single word to give to the
press, now or at any other time. That's
my answer!"
Every well," said Peter impertur-
badly; but he said it to Don Ellsworth's
back, rapidly losing its form as a
shadow among other shadows as he
dashed down the driveway, his feet

offending gravel,

to take your chances in this game,
Bossy, old girl" he remarked.
Then he marched debonairely up
the graveled driveway and rang the
doorbell of the Ellsworth house. When
on business Peter lost no time over
doorbells. And he was on business
now-on "detair' to cover the Ellsworth
house and not to come back till he got
something.
That it was now o'clock in the eve
ming and Peters working day supposed

To be fair, it meant very little to Peter
either His gray overcoat was worn
: smooth at the cuffs, so that the crisS-
cross of threads was plainly visible to
the observing, and one pocket was
ripped half way down by the jamming
of copy paper, folded magazines, and
large apples into its capacious NAV, but
he wore it as jauntily as If it were an
opera cape.
Peter on an assignment was not to be
intimidated by men, angels or buffers.
The door opened with surprising
promptnesS and revealed a young man
with eyebrows done in charcoal, sui
len mouth and eyes puffy from lack of
sleep, whose hat and overcoat indicated
that he was just leaving the house. He
had the air of one not SO much an

Peter stepped at once into the shaft
Of light that streamed from the open
door,

man would have brushed past if Peter
had not obviously and bulkily stood in
the way.

wanted to see," Peter remarked easily,
with one of his friendliest grins.. "In
that case, mayn't we consider the door
already answered? You're Mr.. Don

voice was brusque and noncommittal.

but puzzled, peered at Peters kindly

You don't. I'm Peter Piper of the

WHAT A DOC
ABOUT
CONSTIPATION

There rs a way of overcoming
the tendency to constipation. And
here is how you can PROVE it.
The next time your bowels need
any assistance, don't take the first
laxative that comes to mind. Take
one the druggist can assure you
is made with CASCARA. Just as
effective as using force, and it's
good for the system. Indeed, it
helps make good blood. For
caScara is nothing but the bark
of tree. The Indians chew this
bark, and live to an old age with
out a days sickness.
What happens when you
cascarize the bowels? They will
usually function well for SEW
ERAL DAYS. One more dose
no larger, and perhaps smaller
than the firSt-and the bowels

behind him and was half way across
the street when he paused.
After all, I can't very we'll trail IA
doctor like faithful pup" he pondered
He's been pretty good to me, and
don't want to break the charm. It's
just possible I might be in the way"
While he still hesitated, the front door
closed and the house turned to him a
shut, impenetrable face.
Peter, however, did not recross the
street. Instead, he turned the corner
and gazed upward at the dark side of
the house. A pergola led to a garden
at the rear, and above the pergola to
the left faint gleam of glass indicated
what was probably sun porch.

slipped through the squares of the

his thighs, looked into the brightly
