Lin Loo was dead. She was buried with the new-born baby beside her. Lin Loo was left alone. Xot a change appeared upon his itoild, smiling Mongol face. "Hut he feels It." said Rev.

But outwardly this second blow had left Lin Loo unscathed. He still preildtd over the chop suey restaurant, hit voice was still raised In the hymns on Sundays. Whatever the Inward rtange, he had succeeded In concealing Ids feelings from the eyes of the world. -He’ll get another wife” suggested IP*. Sturgis Jones. But no other Chinese bride appeared. and Rocklngton gradually forgot the tragedy that had wiped out the family of Its one Chinese Iphal - Ittnt. However, the chop suey restaurant continued to prosper. Then an astonishing thing occurred. Loo was not In his seat at church wie Sunday. And the restaurant was dosed. The Itev.

E. Terry a minute description of the purchaser of tho tape last Friday. | Tape waa used by the robbers in binding the aged vouple. I)r. Glthens was released following his arrest, under bond of SSOO. To strengthen the suspicion against Glthens of having a hand In the Wren robbery, Mrs. Harmon Informed Sheriff Terry that the physician had given her medicine on Wednesday night and that tt was of such strength that she did not awaken until late Thursday morning.
