Absurd Low Prices

Panic in the stock market has been followed in a price panic by merchants everywhere.
 It seems senseless for our store to have cut prices in as drastic a manner as we have, but we have felt that the big New York City stores, leading in the slaughter of prices to almost a point of panic. could not be ignored by our store. So we also have joined in the mer- ry business of selling goods, re- gardless of cost in our 21st An niversary Sale.
 We can honestly say that it will not occur again for a long time when the business world figures up what the present panic has cost 1t.

a cocktail, but neither of them felt like

however. He came back, looking on the
whole, Peter thought, relieved.

that. Peter was beginning to understand
what had made Connolly hold his hand
so far. The police, of course, didn't
very often come into contact, in their
work, with people of the sort who ap-
peared at every. turn in this case; people
with far-reaching connections that
might, for all Connolly knew, extend
to the mysterious political potentates
upon whom not only his future, but his
tenure of his present extremely de-
sirable post depended.
And Jimmy Watson, by chance, was
dressed for the part he was playing, in
q, cutaway coat and trousers that even
Peter had noticed with a certain adj
miring envy. He had been a speaker,
Peter learned later, at some medical
congress during the afternoon. He came
back, after a few minutes, during which
Peter and Connolly hadn't exchanged a
word.
It's as 1 thought" he said. "'Mrs.
Thayer is asleep, and / will not assume
the responsibility of allowing her to be
awakened. Her sleep isn't normal, you
understand, Inspector, but one induced
by drugs; even If she were aroused, she
would be quite incapable of talking to
you nationally, or understanding any
questions you asked her"
I'D like to decide that for myself,
doctor" said Connolly, obstinately. "1've
got authority"
Authority be damned" said Jimmy
Watson. I'm dealing with medical
facts, inspector, and there my authority
| is greater than yours. I'll guarantee
that Mrs. Thayer will wake up tomor-
row morning in full possession of all
her faculties. You'll have to wait until
then, and that's all there is to it,"
Deadly as he felt this game was, high
though he knew its stakes to b., Peter
couldn't help enjoying the s. ct2cle of
Connolly, with all the weight and power
of the law and $4,000 policemen behind
him, being put in his place by Jimmy
Watson.

IN the critical moment, there was an

arrival of Steve wentworth and Arthur
Bouton.
Bouton nodded. with certain con-
descesion, to Connolly-who had. Peter
knew, taken orders from the lawyer
more than once in the past.
Good evening, inspector" he said
whats on your mind?"
Hes insisting on seeing my patient
and he can't!" said Watson.
"I must" said Connolly, heavily.
We've got Ross, Mr.. Bouton, and he's
made a statement. You'll under

at understand that DR.. Watson's de-
cision in a matter like this is flnal,'
said Bouton, interrupting, sharply. "How
soon can Mrs. Thayer see the inspector,
Jimmy?"
I'm the morning. She'll be as right
as rain by that time"
"And, meanwhile, she's bound to stay
where she is, Connolly. What's the
matter with you?"
"I know my duty, Mr.. Bouton-and
so do you. None better, You'd have
held me responsible for doing it in your
time-just as Mr.. Barclay does now"
"Of course-of course. But my point
is that since Mrs. Thayer is not able
to talk, your duty won't be neglected
if you wait IL hours. Mrs. Thayer Is
my client, but I haven't seen her yet
myself"
"Your client, sir? WhyP Mrs. Thayer
doesn't need a lawyer like yourself"
mo? That may be a matter Of opin-
ion, Connolly. At any rate, I'm acting
for her. And you can't see her tonight.
"I can II I choose" said Connolly
"She may not be able to speak, but
can put an of11cer in her roon-aftel
I've satisfied myself that she can't talk.

he being detained?"
