He was afraid of O'Brien, who had science and was a big man, besides.” Speaking yet further of fighters in old Putnam, Mr. Reel told of Jim Goddard and Jennings Pearson, who had a terrible fight over a game of cards near Reelsville. Pearson was a huge, finely built fellow. But he tackled a policeman on Washington street, in Indianapolis, one night, and the policeman, w’ho had ben a prize fighter, wrestled him down the street two blocks and locked him up.

called Deputy Game Warden W. W Ireland who shot the deer, a fivepointer. It had suffered a fractured foreleg in the fall. From tracks on the battleground it was apparent the two bucks had fought for some time. The trail led to the brink of the canyon ami back Perhaps one of the deer was trying to force the other over. Perhaps they , could not even see their danger in ' the faint light of the clouded morning sun. Perhaps their horns had become locked and one fell and pulled the other with it.

publicly.

"You said yourself you d never have him over here," complained

the General.

"I have a very good reason this time," rejoined Aunt Katharine with a cryptic tightening of thin llpu. "Sh ir! Th, y’rc at the doer.” Since Nick was cqua.ly impervieus to having a fuss mado over him or being totally ignored, It did not disturb him to receive a mas: of icy looko from ancient and the medlum-agi d members of the For-

“He's with some woman,'' ropiled

Selma. They sent me a vanity case, once, from a Chinese restaurant.

worships you," interposed Aunt

Katharine. He wouldn't—" "You know he hatea me!" cried

Selma. "He only married me for my money. He never did love me.

Sometimes I wish he was dead!”

Nick frowned.

“I'm a little confused,” he said "Do you want him back or don't

you?”

"Of course she wants him back!” rejoined Aunt Katharine. Selma began to cry, Aunt Katharine took bar arm, to lead her from the room, and Nora turned for a flnai

word.

"Don't worry, darling,” she Held. ''It'll be all right. Nick will find

him."

When Nick found himself alone with his wife he looked at her suspiciously. “Didn't I tell you I'd retired?” ho

asked.

“Hut thle is different,” she said.

Encouraged by the success of New York’s drive on racketeering, headed by brilliant Prosecutor Thomas Dewey, other cities are considering similar tactics. Now investigating the shakedown activities of the underworld which annually exempts millions from New York businesb men for "protection", Dewey is gunning for the political “higherups” allegedly connected with the racket. Backed by Mayor Florello La Gunrdia, Dewey has cleaned up various phases of criminal activity, climaxing his drive against the powerful ring preying on the public through the policy game and prostitution by convicting Charles (Lucky) Luciano and his henchmen.
