| IPON reaching the home of the murdered
~ man Mr. Gubb handed the bagpipes to
Chief Schultz to hold and got down on his
hands and knees and went over the floors with
what was practically fine-tooth comb. Thus
he discovered on the floor Bible much worn,
and between the pages he found receipt or
acknowledgement of money paid.
The receipt was written in pencil on a scrap
of waste paper and for a transaction for
which receipts are not often issued. 1t was for.
as a matter of fact, taxcab ride:
"Receired from Rufus Pauerty As cents for
taricab ride.
MALCOLM MacGUILLIGUISH"
"Hah!" said Mr. Gubb when he had studied
the receipt for Is minutes The crowd OF
citizens who gathered in the doorway
stretched their neckS peering at Mr.. Gubb.
For several minutes more Philo Gubb sat
on the floor. moving only once or twice to pull
his kilt more modestly down toward his knees,
and then he arose to his feet
Getting pencil and paper he did little
figuring. Then he summoned Henry Burg
meister and Amos Tucker and learned from
them that Amos, on the night of the murder,
had paid Rufus Paverty precisely $40 in bills,
and that Paverty had taken the money with
eagerness, remarking that he had not another
cent in the house. Then Philo Gubb wrote this
bit of arithmetic his paper:
$4,000
.05
Evening star., 1932-02-14
Sl9.95

How much" he asked Chief Schultz was
the money that was found onto Mr.. Paverty
when he was found in a deceased condition out
onto the edge of town in the form of a corpse?"
Nineteen dollars and forty-five cents said
Chief Schultz without hesitation and Mr.. Gubb
glanced at the figures of his scrap of paper.
"Baf1ed!" he muttered, scowling, and Chief
Schultz whispered, "Gubb is baf1ed," and the
word passed back through the crowd-"He's
baf1ed! Gubb is bafaed! Detective Gubb is
bafhed!"
The great detective knew well that he was
close upon the track of the murderer of Rufus
Paverty. More-he knew, he positive
the murderer and the reason for the crime
The receipt he had found in the Bible point
ed straight at Sandy MacGuilliguish, and Mr..
Gubb could easily imagine the anger Of the
sandy-haired taxicab owner when the rather
parsimonious Mr.. Paverty refused to pay more
than As cents for taxicab ride for which Mr..
MacGuilliguish demanded so cents. Mr.. Mac
Guilliguish had murdered Mr.. Paverty.
'Is Sandy MacGuilliguish out there, Chief?"
asked Mr.. Gubb.
"Gubb wants MacGuilliguish," Chief Schultz
called
Hes not out here" some shouted.
GO get Sanity MacGuilliguish, quick!" Or
dered Chief Schultz. "Gubb wants him!" and
a moment later the popping of two motor
cycles was heard, growing rapidly less in the
distance each moment.

haughtily. This is Disguise Number Nineteen,
Scottish Highlander, and this skirt petticoat is
a kilt Into case like this, which has got a
dead Scotchman into it, it is appropriately
right that should be disguised up like a
Scotchman."
Sure, yes!" agreed Chief Schultz. only
don't you take off your pants before you put
such a kilt on yet?"
Normally in usual do So" said Mr.. Gubb,
"but into the months of January and February
I leave nv pants on on account of the reason
that when my pants are off, my legs get cold
The result was that Mr.. Gubb presented
rather odd appearance when he went down TO
the street with Chief Schultz The gay kilt
above his Impressed trousers gave his lower
half a bizarre look which was not entirely
celed by the bright red jacket and jaunty
Scotch cap, while the bagpipe he carried made
him seem rather like something that had
strayed from a circus band.
1t was not unnatural that this should attract
quite few citizens of Riverbank who had
nothing else to do, and as quite few Of these
were in automobiles, and as the sidewalk was
too for automobiles to drive on, MI
Gubb took the middle of the street.
In this way the procession proceeded toward
the scene of the crime, Detective Gubb leading
with the bagpipe followed by Chief Of Police
Schultz, and after Chief Schultz the citizens
of Riverbank.
Half way to the home of the murdered man
a worn and weather-beaten black taxicab pulled
up alongside of Mr. Gubb.
"Hoot, Gubb.' called the driver. "A word
wi you, Gubb.'
The speaker was Sandy MacGuilliguish,
owner and driver of one Of the few Riverbank
taxicabs
"Hoot, Gubb!" MacGuilliguish calculated.
"Quit yon distressin yowls the bagpipe or
yell be havin' Paverty poppin' out of his cof-
fin. 'Tis way to play the pipes, mon."
Mr. Gubb stopped and looked at Sandy Mac
Guilguish.
Into the first place. MacGuilliguish,' Mr..
Gubb said haughtily II am into disguise as
a Scotsman and nobody Is supposed to know
I am Gubb. The rightly proper way to ad
dress me IS Donald Macdonald. And into
the second place these here bagpipes is part
of my disguise, and it don't make no difference
how I play onto them"
"Verra weel," said Sandy MacGuillguish.
"Yen have it your own way, doot, and if
yen no let me play tn pipes for ye how aboot
takin' my taxi? Feefty cents Is the rate"
"roo much" said Philo oubb "11l give
you IS cents
The taxi driver looked at him darkly.
"Feefty cents Is my rate" said MacGuilli-
guish. "Feefty cents is what always get II
not sooner" he added with a dark scowl then
later. I'm an honest man. Gubb, and take
nothing that does ma belong to me, but what
Is mine get"
With that MacGuillfguish swung his cab
around and drove off, little thinking that his
careless words remained lurking in Philo
Gubb's wonderful brain, sooner or later to
lead to the capture Of Rufus Paverty'S muir
derer.
Evening star., 1932-02-14

IN short time two motor cycle patrolmen
appeared with the taxi driver. Mr. Gubb
rolled up his pants legs until they vanished
beneath his kits, took from Chief Schultz his
bagpipes, and looked, in fact, as much like
Scotchman paperhanger who resembles q
famingo could be expected to look like one.
aye have got me- Gubb" said MacGuilliguish
with resignation. Il admit 1 went bit too far
in collectin' the five cents Paverty defrauded
me out Of and confess that in the argument
I was a bit rough when chokin' him, forgettiF
to take my hands from his neck before he
stopped breathin'
mot that would kill any man for a cent,
ye understand" he added, for am no that
close, Gubb, but nickel is nickel"
In the silence when MacGuilliguish paused
any one could have heard a penny drop.
Il to the house to ask Paverty to pay
me the five cents he rightly owed me-" con.
tinued MacGuilliguish, "hearin' he had received
$50 from Tucker yon, and tn skinf1int refused.
sayin' he had good and proper receipt from
me, and the argument went beyond all bounds
of reason
$50 you can do what We will wi me- Gubb,
and not the deevil care, for I got the five
cents, but there is one thing would ask of ye
as one mon to anither."
What Is the request you want to ask?"
asked Mr.. Gubb, and then, remembering that
he was disguised a Scotchman- Scot or
Scotsman, as some prefer the name-he cor.
rected himself and asked, "Wha' is't We wud
be askin,' MacGuilliguish?"
Don't play the pipes, Gubb," said Mac.
Guilliguish; "twould be more than I could
bear to hear the noble instrument mishandled
at the present doleful moment"
II dare say I am no grand hand wi the
pipes MacGuilliguish." said Philo Gubb, mo
mair than wi the Scots language talk, and
have no deesire to torture you, but am an
baf1ed up with so cents and I give you notice
of warning that if you don't unbafne me right
away at once will play this here bagpipe.

Then why did you take the other half dpa-

Shouse Sees Postmaster-General As
G. O. p. Miracle Man CD On
Two-Wav Dry Plank
C..E.R.

Observation-Disclosures Shouse, chair
man of the Democratic National Ex-
ecutive committee, pays the following
tribute to the spectacular achievement
alleged to have been accomplished by
Postmaster General Walter F. Brown
in preparing plank for the Repub-
lican National Convention on prohibi-
tion to make everybody happy:
Perhaps this may be the era of the
miracle man of the administration
after all.
Postmaster General and Republican
Generalissimo Walter F. Brown is au-
thority for the statement that pro-
hibition plank satisfactory to every
body, vets and drys alike, will be
written into the Republican platform
two weeks hence. 1t would be, indeed,
a magical plank that would be equally
pleasing to Nicholas Murray Butler,
Grand Prophet Of the Republican vets,
to the Anti-Saloon League which has
just declared that any party making
a gesture in the wet direction can ex-
pect organized, relentless opposition,
to Senator Borah who has advised the
president that no referendum or re-
submission on the prohibition amend
ment is possible except that afforded
by the usual election of Congressman,
and to the authors of the proclama-
tions of nearly every Eastern Repub-
lican State organization-and quite a
few Western states as well-that the
people must be given a direct vote on
the question.
Professor Einstein seems to have
demonstrated that straight line is
not necessarily the shortest distance
between two points and the axiom that
two objects cannot occupy the same
space at the same time is fallacious
from the standpoint of super -mathe-
mates. Professor Walter F. Brown
makes these abstruse deductions easy
and puerile compared with his own
accomplishment.
