ROBBER WOUNDS YOUTH
Filling Station Attendant at Marion
Shot When Back Is Turned.

BIZ United Press
MARION, Ind, March 12.-Rus-
sell Sheridan, 10. filling station at
tendant, was robbed of $50 and shot
In the back by a Negro bandit in
the station.
The Negro entered the station on
the pretense of asking for informa-
ton. He then pulled out a revol-
yer, took all the money and ordered
Sheridan to go to the basement.
AS Sheridan was walking down
the steps the bandit fired. Physi-
clans were unable to determine i'm
mediately the seriousness of the
wound.

called over his shoulder. II should
have thought of 1t before"
We followed him uncomprehen dinghy
into DR.. Bliss study.

he said, striving to control his eager
ness. THAT would be logical i.
and this case is unbeilevably logical,
Markham--so logical, so mathematical,
that we may eventually be able to read
it Alright. It's too logical, in fact
that's its weakness. :"
He was already delving into the spilled
contents of DIR. Bliss waste basket.
After q moments search he picked Up
two torn pieces of yellow paper. He
glanced at them carefully, placed them
to one side, and continued his search.
After several minutes he had amassed a
small pile of yellow paper fragments.
81 think that's about all" he said,
rising.
He sat down In the swivel chair and
laid the torn bits Of yellow paper on the
blotter.

Vance went at once to the little desk
table beside the obellsk. He looked at
the yellow pad and tested the color of
the ink. Then he pulled open the
drawer and turned out its contents.
After q few minutes inspection Of the
odds and ends, he restored the drawer
to order and closed It. There was a
small mahogany waste basket beneath
the table, and Vance emptied 1t on the
floor. Going down on his knees he
looked at each piece of crumpled paper.
At length he rose and shook his head.
II don't like this. Markham" he said
''I'd feel infinitely better if could find
that letter."
He strolled about the museum looking
for places where letter might have
been thrown. But when he reached
the iron spiral stairs at the rear he
leaned his back against them and re-
garded Markham hopelessuly.
I'm becoming more and more fright
ened," he remarked in low voice. IF
this devilish plot should work! -
He turned suddenly and ran up the
stairs, reckoning to us as he did So

scum, realized that the Metropolitan
did not open until 10 o'clock, and on
some sudden impulse / sat down and
began working on this letter"
Most unfortunate, !" Vance sighed
'for your phraseoIogy in that letter
made it appear that you were contem-
plating taking drastic measures"
II know it'll" Salveter caught his
breath. That's why lied to you.
But the fact is, Mr.. Vance, the letter
was innocent enough. know 1t
seriously. Honest. sir, it was really
lesson in Egyptian composition-not
an actual communication"
Vance nodded on-committally.
And where is this letter now?" he
asked.
I'm the drawer of the table in the
museum. hadn't finished 1t when
Uncle Ben came in, and L put it
away"
"And you had already made use of
the three words, ankh and was and
temp"
salveter braced himself and took a
deep breath.
"Yesl Those three familiar words
were in it. And then, when you first
asked me about what I'd been doing in
the museum I made up the tale about
the papyruS-"
And mentioned three words which
were suggested to you by the three
words you had actually used-eh,
what?"
Yves, sirl That's the truth"
Were most grateful for your sudden
burst of honesty" Vance's tone was
frigid. will you be so good as to
bring me the uncompleted epistle? I'd
dearly love to see 1t, and perhaps
can decipher it."
Salveter leaped to his feet and fairly
ran out of the room. few minutes
later he returned, to all appearances
dazed and creStfallen.
1T isn't there!" he announced. 'It's
gone!"

"Why should I know where It is?--
provided, of course, you ever wrote It.
I'm no divining rod" Vance was deep
~ troubled, though he sought to hide
the fact Didn't you know better than
to leave such q missive lying loosely
about?"
"It never occurred to me-"
"Oh, didn't it? wonder"
Vance looked at Salveter sharply. This
is no time to speculate. Please go
to your room. I'll speak to you again.
Don't ask any questions-do as I
tell you'll"
Salveter, without word, turned and
disappeared through the door. We could
hear his heavy footsteps ascending the
stairs
(FRIDAY, JULY Is, 4:45 P.M)
Vance stood for a long time in I'M
easy silence. At length he lifted his
eyes to HenneSsey.
81 wish you'd run upstairs" he said
and take post where you can watch
all the rooms. I don't want any COM
munication between Mrs. Bliss and Sal

Vance turned TO Markham.
maybe that priceless young ass ac-
tually wrote the silly letter." he COM
mented; and worried look came over
his face. "I say let's take q peep In
the museum"
"See here, Vance"-Markham rose
"why should the possibility of Salveters
having written a foolish letter upset
you?"
II don't know-Tm not sure" Vance
went to the door; then pivoted sudden
". But I'm afraid-I'm deuced afraid
Such a letter would give the murderer
a loophole-that is II what I think is
true. If the letter was written, we've
got to find it. If we don't find 1t there
are several plausible explanations for its
diSappearance-and one of EN- is f1end-
ish. But come. Well have to
search the museum-on the chance that
it was written"
IF DR.. Bliss and Guilfoyle return
while we're in the museum" he said to
Snitkin, who stood leaning against the
front door, take them in the drawing
room and keep them there"

ooh, is It, nowP :. Most unfor-
tunate."
Vance lay back pensively for several
moments. Then suddenly he sprang to
his feet.
'It's not therel It's gonel" he
murmured. II don't like this situation,
Markham don't at all like it.
Why should the letter have disap-
peared? Why why?"
He swung about to Salveter.
What kind of paper did you write
that indiscreet letter on?" he asked
with suppressed excitement.
''On yellow scratch pad-the kind
that's generally kept on the table"
And the ink-did you draw your
characters with pen or pencil?"
With pen. Green ink. It's always
in the museum"
Vance raised his hand in an impa-
tent gesture.
That's enough. Go upstairs
go to your room and stay there"
But, Mr.. Vance, Tim worried
about that letter. Where do you think
it is?"

well ought to accomplish the task
without too much difiiculty, don't y
know"
He began arranging and fitting the
scraps together. At the end OF 10 min
utes he had reaSsembled the letter. Then
he took large sheet OF white paper
from one of the drawers Of the desk
and covered it with nnlcilage. Care
fully he transferred the reconstructed
letter, piece by piece, to the gunnmed
paper.
There, Markham, old dear" he
sighed, is the unfinished letter which
Salveter told us he was working on this

CORN STRENGTH

MARKET HIGHER
Dry Weather, Crop News
Responsible for Heavy
Buying Orders.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 25.-The strength
in corn and the active demand for
winter wheat at the seaboard gave
wheat a strong rally from the in
side figures in the latter part Of
the session on the Board Of Trade
today and at the close prices had
recovered to stand evenly steady.
Little attention was paid to the re-
ports of Russian export sales.
Corn met severe profit taking
and some selling on the forecast
for unsettled weather, which caused
prices to ease slightly but rallied
late to again show a strong gain.
Oats followed corn and was firm.
At the close wheat was &c lower
to sc higher, corn was &c to 1@4c
higher and oats was sc to &c high
er. Provisions were weak.
Liverpool steadied somewhat near
the close and at the last was &c
to &c lower. There were further
sales of wheat overnight, but in
moderate amounts with nothing
definite in the way of figures. Cash
prices were unchanged to &c high
er. Receipts we're STA cars.
Tnes dry weather and further re-
ports of deterioration from the corn
belt sent that grain up sharply at
the start and prices in all deliveries
reached a new high on the move
ment. There was huge buying in
small lots from the country. The
forecast for unsettled weather in
parts of the belt caused some profit
taking and selling by locals, but at
the market still held fair
gains. Cash prices we're &c higher.
Receipts we're I'll cars.
Oats opened higher with corn,
but when that grain eased and
wheat weakened the market sold
off and did not recover by mid
morning. Trading was dull. Cash
prices were unchanged Receipts
were sixty-four cars.

VOTE CONTEST
Plays Pitch With Friend for
Nomination.

By United Press
HERKIMER, N. Y, July rs. -
Uncle Dan Stroebel was telling his
friends today about the hard that
won him the Republican nomination
for sheriff of Herkimer county in
Thursday nights game of pitch
against his old friend Fred Sauer.
when I saw that hand" Dan
told the boys, II knew I had Fred
licked. I figured he couldn't have
anything better than an ace, queen,
jack, so bid three, and when Fred
said pitch 1 slammed them down.
one two three, and finished my IL
points.
Where Fred made his big mistake
was after We tied. He had three
and I had three. Fred got too
anxious and bid three all at once.
He played his ace; 1 played low.
Then he played his jack and I took
it with my queen, and Fred Went
back to zero on that trick"
Fred's over-eagerneSs lost him one
of the most interesting political
battles in Herkimer county, but re-
tanned for him Dams friendship,
which caused the contest in the
first place.
Both had announced the sheriff's
job at the same time and in order
not to become involved against each
other in politics, decided to let the
cards settle it, with $50 stalwarts OF
county republicanism looking on.
