IM CREADY li!d dDirn his book as I entert. "I'm glad you droppM In." he tald "I'm full o dope oa these newfangled ways of catchla crook b

finder .prints, eipar shtB cjid all that ort thing. Honest, I believe if I wa to s you steal the cuckoo clonk off tto wall tber. I'd run for a piece of papr and some lamp black to takr your fiagor prints. Iz&Uafr of bumpln you on tl head and drafcln' you off to th CAn, "Science has made wonderful strides In yenr profession," I began. "Scfenc mo fycf ho Interrupted toe. "It . listeria all rlfcht In a book, but for m. Ill take a rbunce atonKaid ny of these inaxnifytn glass Investigator. AU I ask 1? a hunch from old rruLn Human Nature, a good drag-nt rytrtetn, a couple o' stool pigeon where lht-yre raost nekd and some luck. Gtv me all that and then bring on your robbery or mur&er or whatever t!s you got a mind to, and Til come pretty near to gtttln hold of somebody that known something about It. "After that. It's not the hardest thin? In the -world to get at the truth, the

3 whole truth and nothuV but the truth.

Tifelp mo. There's ways of doin' It that work cut pretty Kood." "You mean th thtrd degree V I lAkcd. knowing I would bring a ptorm about my ears. "Third desroe, h J" he shouted i inarilv. "Yon bn anln trt th movies

J igafn. ain't you. No. It don't take the third decree, and It don't take one of

these new-fangled machines that tell when a guy'e tellin the truth, either." He poked the book on the table with a contemptuous forefinger. "Them machine may do all they aay they will, but I'd hate to depend on a lot of aig-zag lines instead of the shifty look In a liar's eye and the slip-up he always makes. The more a mr.n trl3 to alibi himself, the . more chance there is for him to gir himself away. If they'd gay a thing and no more, and Just Hick to it. they'd get by mucn better, but they're always txyln' to strengthen their story hy -addin' this and addin' that until, finally, they r.lip up and crab the whole work?. Too many times th tip-to-date methods add lot cf frills and make a mystery out of what ought to be nothin but a plain pinch." Now that Cr-ady had gotten under a full head of steam. I carefully refraintd from making any comments. Nor did I five him any visible aigp.s of enconraeuient. I know well th? bT way to get a story from this veteran of the police department. "Take that Iyona murder two years ago." h continued. "To the public that looked like a dead open and shut proposition. Dick Lyons was killed ond Harris Andrews waa arrested less than an hour later. Of course, you remember the outcome of the trial Guilty, first-degree murder. "I made that pinch and there was lots of chance to do eome scientific Investigating that may or may not have ended. In the same thing, but I'll bet a week's pay that the stories that flew around for a few minutes after I got there on the Job would hare tied that truth machine up in a double knot.

"I'm stallin' around headquarter the night It happened, with not much on my mind except a Stetson. Things are Blow and I'm waltin' for four bells when it's my time to hit the hay. "Along about twelve o'clock the telephone rings and a few minutes after the Chief yells for me. "'Jimmic,' he says; 'take a couple of men with you and get up to the Everglade Apartments on Ninty-first street. A Mr. Harris Andrews telephones that his friend Lyons was shot by a burglar who made a get-away. Get up there as fast as you can and keep your eye-peeled for bad actors in the neighborhood.' "Well, me and three cops start off and it don't take us no 'time to get to Ninety-first 6treet. We're Just going in the door of the Everglade when. I'm a sucker if there ain't a guy dodgln' behind steps and actin mighty suspicious. "I got one of the cops to grab him and he makes a holler and swears he's waitfn' for somebody. I give the sign to bring him along. It won't hurt him any and it might do us some good. Anyway, his actions looked bad. "We go up to apartment five, which is the number the Chief gets over the 'phone. I goes in first with one of the cops and the other two stay outside with the guy we picked op. "Andrews meet us, and he's excited as h . As soou as I looked at the man stretched out on the floor, I knew he was dead. The whole top ot his head was blowed off, pretty near. "Andrew's story Is as straight as a whip. He and Lyons had been out on a theater party with a woman and

they had come to the woman's apartment. They're sitting and talking when the door opens and In cornea a fellow with a gun. "Lyons makes a Jump to get the gun and the crook lets him have it. Then, frightened, he corers Andrews and rrakcB his get-away. "When he had finished, I mentioned the guy we picked up and had tha cops bring hlna in. Andrews gets oao lock at him and says "That's the man!' "'Are you surer I asks him. The other fellow, who was not rauch more than a kid, looked puziled and wanted to know what waa coming off. " 'Positive,' answers Andrews. 'Walt and he calls out: 'Blanche! Come here!' "Out of the next room there comes a woman who looks about thirty-five, although I gues she might be more. She's all dolled up In erening clothes and she's been cryln. " 'Com here,' said Andrews. Here's the police and they've caught the man that killed Dick. Take a look at him.' "The womn comes aver and takes one look at the kid. '"Walter!' she crie, holdln out her arms. " 'Mother.' says the kid and makes as though to go to her, but the cops yank him back. 'What doe this mean?' he asks her. "The woman tumi to me. 'Let him go,' she says, and her voice la awful weary and tired. 'Iet him go. H .didn't do It. He did It,' and she pointed to Andrews. "iys a He.' hollers Andrews. 'She's tryin' to save her boy. Take him away.

"I don't know what gave me the idea, but I had a hunch that Andrews was as much surprised at the kid being her son as he was although hr Joc't say anything about iL "The woman iß cryin now and ringln' her bands. Here's different stories and it's up to c to nd out which 1 nearest to the truth. I guess one of them machines woulda had to go some, eh? "'How did it happen?' I asked the wohl:- n. "She look at the kid for a minute and then raove her shoulders in a funny way, Just &s If she was throwin' off a heavy weight. I live here in thle flat. Tonight I had gone to bed. I did not expect Andr.ws. After I had retired Dick Lyon came to the door and I got up. He was in love with me and wanted me to break away from Andrews.' It8 a llel' shout Andreus, "You shut up!' I tells him and motions for 1 the wcraan to go oa. '"Dick begged me to go with him. and then Ajvdrews came in. He is very Jealous and without Raying a word h shot Dick. " 'AfLer he shot him. he called up tha police department and made me change to these clothe. Tlun he invented the story he told you and mad me promtae to back him up in it, "I guesB I would have doae It, too.' she went on. 'only ' and her look at the kid finished what sh meant to "Of course, by this time Andrews was wild. One of the cops hd grabbed him by the arm while the woman, was talkln' or I guess he'd a made a snrinc at her.

'"Well." I said to him when she finished; 'what about itr "AH this time the kid stood lookia' from one to another witöout aayln a word. "It's a lie. Captain." eald Andrewa. I guees he thought that "Captainstuff would help some with me. "I'm a fool to have let myself In for thla, but it's my own fault. I didn't give It to you quite straight before, but I will now," and he phot a glance of hüte at the woman. " 'Dick Lyons wig my best friend. and it waa to save his reputation tfct I lied. I figured that as long as you got the right man. a Uttle He wouldn't do any harm, particularly If It saved othora from pain and suffering. . '"Lyons was in love with this woman. He was making a fool of himself over her and neglecting his family. I knew he was here tonight and that he was going to try to get this woman to run away with him. I came to prevent it. She pretended that she loved Lyons, but she wanted only what money fche could get out of him. and when she saw that Lyons was listening to roaon and was beginning to get a little setve and see her in her true light, she signalled to her confederate and tried 0 pull off th old badger ;aice. '"The badger same?' I asked him. "'Yes; this fellow whip in and pretended he was her husband. He swore he waa going to shoot Lyons for leading his wife astray. You know how tbr work it. I rues. They had It framed up well. Thetr game was to have Lyons come across with a lot of rnony to keep it quiet and get out of trouble. '"T cuess it mich! hive worked rr

cept for one thing. Lyons wasn't th sort to stand for that kind of a holdup, and huddrnly he made a dive fsr this fellow, who was corning Mrs with a gun. "'As soon as Lyons Jurap-vl. I Jumped also, but he,' pointing to the kid, 'grabbed me by the throat and held me off at arm's length whMe be shot Lyons. '"Then he covered me with tr r::ri and got away. After had foce, 1 made the woman drea ani we rehearsed the story I told you. I a anted to save his family. I told ter if she didn't back me up I would tell tha truth and thru she would be held as an accomplice, so she agreed "'There's the man that killed Iick Lyons, and now you know the truth.' "'Yep,' I faid to hrm. I know !he truth.' and I motioned to the co;e o put the bracelet on Andrew. "The woman stood with Ln head hanging down, and when the cor? t the kid go. he wpr.l over o her ar.d looked into her eyes. The next m'n ute she wa cryin' and obhm' ill ovr him. "You see." said Cready, "there was a plain pinch that came rar being a mystery. And from the lies that as flyin' around that rom. I'll bet on of them machines would have bu!tM a spring." "But." paid I. "I don't see -"Certainly you don't soe. UA if rra had listened to Andrew fell how the kid hMd him ofT with -r.e hand wLll he shot Lyons with the other, you'd see. Especially," he mused, "if you knew, as I did, that one of the kid's arms was paralyzed so that he couldnt move it an inch "

The United Statts department of i-'riculture has sent to local board of health a number of suggestions tor milk comumeis for the saleguarding of their lualth during the summer season. The suggestion follows: P.uy only the best milk obtainable, il is eheanest in the long run. Consult the lualth department before selecting jour milk dealer. Huy only bottled milk if possible. J'iiped milk is iif'oi dirty and deficient in cnain. Take milk into the house as soon as it is delivered and place it in the refrigerator immediately. Pacteria increase rapidly in milk which Mand.s in the si.n or waims up, and such milk will sour quickly. Keep milk in the original bottle in the refrigerator until the moment ot Miving. Milk which has been poured from the bottle covered with pappei cap or an inverted tumbler, to prev nt the entrance of fib's and dust, which may carry dangerous bacteria into the milk. Keep the rcfrigeiator clean and sweet by means ot pi oper drainage ind frequent .vashing with stabling water and sal soda, since milk quickly alworb'.s unpleasant odors and becomes less palatable. Wash milk botths as soon as emptied, by rinsing first with lukewarm water and then with hot water. If there is an inlet tious disease in jour house, do not return any Nttbs t-e.-qu with knowledge of the health deparmcnt and undci conditions which it may prescribe. I let urn empty bottles promptly, and do not use' them for anything except milk. lit member that they are th property of the dealer and li pr- s- ia cash, Uemember that clean milk, pro-p-rly aied tor. is one of the best foeids obtainable. It is nourishing, digestible, and usually economical.

Tin; spinn r.M.isrs' n:v. Fditor News-Times: Spiritual people- here on our earth plant do not need to ask: Is there a life after death V They know. The majority of us have had absolute proof through the remarkable demonstrations brought forth from the spiril side of life hy nur spirit friends. Are vve a religion? Yes. I'o we have a IMble? Indeed yes and the very same' as the orthodox. There is hardly a page in that (Ireat Hoed; of (Joed but that gives us some insight to spiritualisn.. If spiritualism was taken from the Pilde there would be little left. We admit that nine-tenth-? of the people who read the Bible aro educated nun and women but all do not comprehend its pages alike. F.osides the Bible the Spiritual People have declaration of principles to which they try their utmost to live. First We believe in inlinite intelligence. Second We believe that the phenomena of nature, physical anil spiritual, are the expressions of inlinite intelligence. Third We atrirm that a correct

understanding of such expression and living in accorelance therewith constitute true religion. Fourth We aflirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death. Fifth We alhrm that communication with the so-called oead is a fact scientifically proven by the phenomena of spiritualism. Sixth We believe th'at the highest morality is contained in the golden rule: Whatsever ye would that others should do unto j-ou. do je also unto thr-m. Seventh We attirm the moral responsibility of the individual and that he makes his own happiness or unhappiness as he obeya or disobeys

nature's psjehie laws. Kighth We affirm that the doorvva' to reformation is never closed against any human sou), here or hereafter. At this moment I do not call to mind any orthoelox rel.Vion that holds out such a great and grand belief as the 1 ist m.med principle. The worbl's great conflict has advanced spiritualism .'eft v-ears. No religion in the worl 1 has held eut the hope and given the consolation to the grief-stricken fathers and mothers of tear fillen heroes rts spiritualism has doie. Fach religion holds out that which seems best for each and ever.v one: but the ejuestion of life after death is a momen'.ous one aiul upon it de
