are satisfactory and favorable. The

with pistols and told to lie on the

The bandits continued the search

At the regular meeting of Rob-
ert Swift Post, American Legion,

On November 18th ten years
will have elapsed since the signing
of the Armistice. "A special COM
mittee has been appointed by
Commander Weisner to arrange a
suitable anniversary program to
commemorate the important event.
In former years the officers Of
the Post have made an intensive
drive for members. Present
members will be notified that their
dues are due, and all those not
paying before Jan. /, 1919, will
be dropped from the membership
roles.
The American Legion since its
organization has performed very
valuable service for all ex-Service
men, and a former veteran of the
World War who does not affiliate
with his organization is the loser.
Robert Swift Post has closed the
most active year in it's history, the
high light, of course, was the en-
tertaining of the Sixth district con-
vention in June, in which all pre-
vious Sixth district records were

Before Markham could reply, a

attracted our attention.

We moved expectantly into the

over the end of the library table
almost directly behind the place
where Margaret Odell's body had
been found.
He took out an ir1suff1ator, which
was like very small hand-bellows,
and blew fine light-yellow powder
evenly over about square foot OF
the polished rosewood surface of
the tabletop. Then he gently blew
away the surplus powder, and there
appeared the impression Of hui
man hand distinctly registered in
saffron.
The bulb of the thumb and each
heshy hummock between the joints
of the fingers and around the palm
stood out like tiny circular islands.
