Honeymoon “Murder - CAROLYN WELLS Copyright by Carolyn Walla. WJttJ Service. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued *' —ll—- — made abort work of bls Job When the door swung open they saw a dark, tousled bead on the pillow, with the bedclothing drawn close up round the neck. Buckle stepped to the bed and said loudly. “Come, Mr. Coles, you’ll be late." There was no reply, and Buckle, going closer, laid a band on Bob’s forehead. Be looked at Field’s significantly. Hay went to the bed, and. pulling down the blanket looked at the still form and felt for the heart and pulse. "The boy te dead." be said, turning back to Buckle. "What does it mean} Ho was locked In here alone—" "Then be wasn’t murdered. If that’s ~ what you’re thinking. And nobody could get through those windows’" I The windows, there were two, were each open about six Inches at the top. admitting air. yet giving no possibility for the entrance of a human being. 1 And they Were immovable, owing to the efficacy of the patent fastenings. "Don’t touch anything," said the capable Buckle. “Maybe It’s all right and maybe It isn’t No doubt Mrs. j Malden will take her party right back | home. I’d better go and report this to i her. Lord, what an awful thing 1" “But Buckle, It can t be foul play, you know—” "No. Mr. Held, we don’t know that But the people downstairs must be j told—at once. Mr. Garth will know I -just what to do; he’s a lawyer, and | he's a wise one. Poor young fellow; Mr. Coles was a nice chap.” j • Yes, | liked i>fin. We can’t lock this door. Mike. So you’ll have .to stand by and keep guard. You’ll be relieved as soon as the police get here.” “Why the police?” queried Buckle. "But we ought to call a doctor at once." “You’re right.” said Hay. “Will you . look after It?" | i Buckle went Into the dining room, and going straight to Perlila. said. ”1 have to tell you. Madame, that y Ur. Coles passed away in his sleep.” “What!" ‘ “Yes. we found him dead In bls bed. I am at your orders, but 1 think the first necessity is to call Io a doctor." “Walt. Buckle You’re sure be Is dead?” •Yes, Mrs. Malden. I am sure." ■ "Then a few moments’ delay can do no harm. Send a telegram, first of all, to Mr. Stone, asking him to come as soon as be can Wait, I will write It.” Perlila scribbled her message. "There, get that off. and then call a doctor. Or will you (hrfhut Kosy?” •Til Hilda jnd jumped up and went to the telepthme. “Don’t say mifeh.” advised Perilla. “Just ask him to come immediately, as the case is urgent” When Hilda returned all listened while Buckle told all there was to tell. “Heart trouble, I supjwse." said Mai * colm, “They say every other person has It” But Perlila shook her heath She knew bow free from heart trouble Corey was, and how he slipped sway from her. And now Bob I She could scarcely believe it Though intensely sorry for him. and for bls mother, too, there was not the poignant grief of Corey’s death, and Perlite felt strong to cope with this new tragedy. Hilda said I doctor Crane would be over at once. Perilla had been silent, and It was evident from what she isext Mid that she considered It Important “I want to ask.” Perilla said, “that whatever the doctor may say. we do not call the police In until after Mr. Stone gets here. As you doubtless know, he Is the most celebrated detective In America. I want him to Investigate Bob’s death, whether it is a natural death or a suicide or a murder. Doctor Crane will give his opinion, of course, but If. except tor him. we cm keep tbe room untouched, it will be of immense assistance to Mr. Stone. I'm not knocking your police force, Hay, but since Mr. Stone is at present employed by me I feel justified tn asking this favor for him.” t, -Oh. that’s all right. Perilla,” FteM returned. “Our force Is nothing to brag of. A sheriff, and whatever goes along with that. Our big cases are token care of in Columbus." ■That s all very well, but Pm sure we must all get back to New York, and have the matter investigated at that end.” "You’re turning back, then, madame.” asked Buckle. -Ob. yes, we must,” said Perlila, ■ quickly. “I’m sorry. Rosy. but we shall ; probably have to stay here another night and then go back home." “Oh. Perilla. dear, the bouse ta yours | for as long as wo can be of service to you. Here’s the doctor." Doctor Crane, verging oa the elderly, paid he would go upstairs al once to see tbe body. But first be asked a few random questions at tbe crowd, now gathered in the lounge. "How old was he young man}" be asked. "Between twenty-three and twentyfour," answered Perilla. "Have you knows him iongF "No. but he was ray brother’s friend, and often was at tbe house." "Did be seem to yon like one who voeM Haraflf adMMsF "Good heavens. Ml The test (« 1 should suspect! Bob was too f«»d of Hftk* After Held left with tbe arefieal man Per Ute said to Garth, “What da yee think. BogerF •Met enough data to wort m yet,’ - i .

Garth returned. “It seems like a natural death. 1 hope It trill prove to be something ot that sort; are don’t want any more tragic deaths I bop® we can keep tbe way clear for Fleming Stone. He ought to get here about noon or soon after." "But If Doctor Crane orders us to have the police In at once, we must do it* They waited mostly tn silence for the doctor. When be came down his face eras very grave. “IPs a queer thing," be said, "but 1 find no sign of any heart weakness, yet there is no sign of anything else. There was actually nothing the matter with that tod; be was sound from head to foot." “Well, tbenF Malcolm spoke a Utile Sharply. “Then I don’t know what to say. It to too much for me. I’m no detective and If 1 were I doubt If 1 could solve this puzzle." "Even considering outside possibilities," Mid Held, “be couldn’t have been shot There Is no weapon of any sort in tbe room." "Then.” said Garth, "It Is one of those ’locked room’ problems so frequent In the detective stories” “It’s all of that" said Hay. “and then some. 1 wonder what Mr. Stone will make of It You see. Bob went upstairs with tbe rest ot as. I showed him to his room myself, showed him how to work tbe windows—they’re • trifle complicated—showed him the snap lock and tbe key lock, and then I left him. “We have to agree with Doctor Crane that It must bare been a natural death, brought about by an unsuspected weakness of the heart He died alone, and, presumably, while asleep. What else could it be but heart failure! He certainly had no enemies bere, and no one could get In at these windows either of them, nor could be get out again. A long tad der would hare been needed and even then a man could nor get through those narrow openings.” "Exactly five Inches, sir," said th* meticulous Buckle. “Well, Doctor Crane, what do you say? May we wait a while for Fleming Stone, or must we call the police nt once?” “Well, It’s this way, Mr. Field." The old man shook his head slowly. "I’ve been coroner here a long time. I’ve never gone back on my duty yet a»d 1 guess I can’t begin now. But 1 tell you there won’t be such a lot of time, after all It’s getting on to ten or eleven o’clock now. and while the sheriff may mosey along sooner, the police from Columbus won’t arrive he fore late afternoon or so. Mebbe your Mr. Stone will even get here first See what 1 mean? 11l call ’em, and they'!’ come when they get ready, and they don’t work so everlastin' fast, anyhow." “That’s all right doctor,” said Perilla, catching on to the fact that the old man trad no intention of hustling the strong arm of the law. The day was a strange one. Twice they bad word from Stone and bis plane that be would arrive probably about four or five In the afternoon. Perilla and Jane went off together to write letters home and to Bob’s mother. the latter, of course, being a heartbreaking task. Early In the afternoon the sheriff. John GlUmore, came. Field took him In charge, and after showing him th* body and giving him the main facts said, "Do yon know, 1 think it would be belter all around to shut up that room until Fleming Stone, the famous detective, gets here. You know, he’s going to help us. Then you snd De start ou your work together." ‘ “1 sgree." and Sheriff GUlmore beamed. “I’d llkta see him work. That is. If the police don’t get bere first If they do I’ll string along with them.” Hay nodded and left GlUmore to bto own devices. Shortly after. Stone came, and at bnce took possession of Bob’s room. “One o’ them locked room puzzles, hey. Mr. StoneF and tSlllmore almost chuckled at the thought of what a treat this would ba to the detective. “Yea. sheriff.” said Stone “What’s your opinion F "Suicide, air, nothin’ but suicide Why, It couldn’t be anything else Could It mwF “Well, that well bare to puzzle out I wonder if I could be here all >kme for a little. Leave me to myself. ffrill o K “It’s « Queer, Thing," He SaH. you! I won’t be long. Oh. by tbe way, to Doctor Crane still beret Good send him up. And say, sheriff. Ute a good chap, keep everybody else downstairs, won’t you? Except young Fairfax—send him up here." Scarcely realizing that be was being excluded. GUlmore did as he was bld. Doctor Crane came ponderously up the stairs, and Malcolm impatiently fed“Now, Doctor Crane," Stone began, "tot’s get quirt action berg. You agree this ta a tnurderF "No, sir, I do not It to a etesf ease of •Meld®."

“You decline to consider other poo stollltieer “Ain’t no other possibilities. Can’t be murder—no way for the criminal to g»< in or out Can’t be natural death, subject too well and strong. Gotta be poison, even If we haven't found the container—yet” “Logical enough, doctor, but you’ll admit there bad to be a container and since we find none we can’t go on with ti e suicide theory." “Oh. I guess we con. Let's leave tbe container for tbe time bein’." “Very well, that point will keep Now, as a medical man, what poison wSU allow Its victim to swallow It, and then have time enough to undress and go to hed calmly, and puli up the corers and die quietly, and no fuss about ItF From tbe corner of bis eye Stone could see tbe doctor begin to look era berrasaed. “There’s lota of poisons," he said, "that don’t act right straight off the minute you take ’em.” “True." Stone agreed, “but those poisons, when they do act, draw the victim up into spasms and writhing "You’re up on poisons, I see,” and the doctor scowled. "Not so much as you are, not as much as I’d like to be; that’s why I want your knowledge and skill. How far does your experience carry yon? Do you know m-’cb about tbe rarer poisons T* ! "Not so very much. Mr. Stone," and Doctor > Crane made bls admission frankly if a Mt unwillingly. “If Bob was killed by one ot those little-known drugs that always erop up In tiff story books,” Malcolm put in. "then It’s no suicide. Where could be get a thing of that sort? That argues for murder, eh, Mr. StoneF “And tbe motive?’’ Stone looked thoughtful -As to clues?” He looked about Bob’s room. “Nothing has been touched. What do we read? Only that Coles came up to bls room last night, somewhat hastily undressed and tumbled into bed and fell asleep at once. He never woke, not even when the murderer came to his bedside with the deadly draught—lf that was the way it was done.” “How else could It have been done’’ asked Malcolm. “It might have been administered by a hypodermic needle. In that case a tiny puncture should show." “That will be discovered at the au topsy,” said Crane, rather pompously “I will attend to that" “Poor old Bob.” said .Malcolm, “be was so happy to be working with you, Mr. Stone." “He had the Instincts of a detective. Stone paused, then said. “1 wonder why was he so terribly tired and sleepy that he tumbled Into bed.” “How do you , know be did do that?” “By the way he left things. His clothes are properly folded, but not meticulously so. 1 know bls ways you see. He did not take a tub bath: the bath soap still has its paper jacket on. At home I beard Bob splashing in his tub every night" “Just lack of time, 1 think.” Mai colm answered. “We had to hurry to change for dinner last night" “I know, but that doesn’t explain his haste to go to bed, later, and d> omit his bath.” L “No.” said Malcolm, "tris queer." Just then Field entered with the Itotice. A big. burly detective looked anything but pleased to see Fleming Slone. Tbe medical examiner fol lowed. “Here you are. Doctor Merritt." said Field. “Let me introduce Fleming Stone." Doctor Merritt tbe medical examiner from the City, was a man of few words He fiung«the bedclothes off the dead man and made a few preliminary testa. “Died about two or three o’clock this morning,*’ he declared. "Can't tell nearer until we have an autopsy. Better get to tbe morgue right away and hold the post-mortem soon as possible.” “Walt a minute," said Stone; "what killed him, doctor?" “You people been bere all day and haven’t found that out? Why. somebody bad it In for him snd came up bere and killed him. Then said person undressed him and put him to bed. went out, pulled the spring-locking door abut after him, and there you are." "What did be kill him withF per stated Stone. "Polson, I suppoee as we find no signs of shooting or stabbing. Yet we may find tboee things when we X around to a real examination. Stebbins, you call up the morgue end Jet’s get started." “You don’t agree to a natural death, theor Stone looked straight at him. “Well. I’m glad you’re to have an autopsy; Pm curious about some points. And 1 certainly want to be ssraeent" "Yon may, of course. Are yon a medical man, Mr. StoneF "Not quite, but my calling brings me up against medical matters more er teas, and I can’t help learning a bit here and there." “I see. And are you looking tor anything defitfito as a result of the post mortem F "Well, yes, 1 think I may say 1 am. That is, I'm /tookiat for corrobora Lon." \ “Os your own theoriesF "Os my own deductions. I have small use for theories In a murder case." "1 see. I suppose, now. Mr. Stone, you know who did this murderF “Yes 1 suppose I do" “And you know tbe motiveF "Oh, that, of course." "And the method usedF •I think so, but that must be corroborated by the results of the autopsy." Doctor Merritt's eyes had grown larger and rounder as this conversation went on, but these three matementa «,-ere more than he could awallow. Sarcasm crept into bls voice. “Tben, air, if yon know the murderer, tbe motive and the method, why not divulge your secrets and let us make an arreotF “Proof, my dear air; poof is tacking. My Eductions and coDrimdons. are so »• improbable, no difficult of belief, that I dare not deciare them until I can »wge them into one perfect statement, and prove it If tbe autopsy carries tail m*sn t mw neiiea pomww» * «t-

plain. I don’t mean to be mysterious. That sort of thing Is silly. But I can’t risk spoiling my discoveries by handing them out half-baked. You must see that tor yourself." "I see." Stone knew he would say that, even though be saw nothing whatever. “I’ll get over to the morgue now," Merritt added. “You come along in about an hour.” When Stone went down the street to tbe morgue be was admitted to the operating room. Without seeming to give orders he issued explicit directions about the care of the remains, and made sure his advices would be carried out. Photographs and X-rays were made, and much minutiae was listed. At last Ho Found Nothing of Interest In the Suitcase. the unpleasant task was over, and full results promised by late evening. Fleming Stone looked perplexed, but Doctor Merritt seemed satisfied. “1 told you so,” he said. “Nothing to hint at poison of any sort." Tbe doctor bad told him nothing of the sort, but he had no wish to rouse a controversy. Tbe sheriff had been persuaded not to order an Inquest. “You see.” Stone said to him, “It isn't a case for a coroner a* all. Both Doctor Crane and tbe medical examiner report that nothing was learned or dis covered at the autopsy which pointed to anything but death from natural causes. They have both given certifi cates to this effect. Therefore, sheriff, you have no crime, no criminal, and no victim. This somewhat garbled statement bad the desired effect, owing, doubtless. to its source. Fleming Stone bad no intent of wropg-doing; on the contrary, he was working, and rather rap idly, toward his own ends. He wanted to get back to New York, where be felt he had his work cut out for him. He sought out Perilla and had a talk with her. Malcolm was with her, and Garth. It seemed to Stone Garth was always with her, but that was none of hte business. “You want to go homeF he asked the girt "Just tell me when we can start" “We are sending Bob’s body on in charge of Fairfax." Stone went on, “and 1 assume you’ll want to go by train. All of youF “I shall go by train, of course," said Perilla. “Mr. Stone, 1 hope you’ll go with me, and tbe rest of you can go as you prefer." The train was faster, and Perilla felt she had much to attend to. Stone, too, felt be was nearing the light at tbe end of the tunnel, and though be couldn’t see It all clear himself as yet, be was ready to get to work on what promised to be tbe greatest case of bls career. For no definite reason Stone bad wanted another look at Bob’s room, so be went up to the third floor again. He found that it had been so thoroughly cleaned and set In order by tbe servants that no sign of a clue or bit of evidence could be expected. Then be saw Bob’s luggage, a suitcase and a smaller bag. He found nothing of interest In the suitcase, and was about to close tbe bag, too, when be saw a small packet of letters or papers. These be extracted and thrust into hte own pocket On bis way downstairs be met Perilla and Garth. Perilla cast a troubled glance at Stone, and be paused by her ride. “Ready for my report Mrs. MaldenF be asked. "I don’t believe I can make It any fuller tonight” “Yes. glad to bear tt at any time," and with a calm smile, she dismissed Garth and walked away with Ftemlng Stone. He led her to a little reception room and closed the door. "It la not exactly that 1 want to make a report." Stone beffaiL “but I want to ask you some questions. Some serious questions, which will, perhaps, offend you. Os that 1 mast take the chance, but if annoyed with me I trust you will answer them." "I certainly shall. Mr. Stone, to the bent of my ability. I am beginning to feel uneasy about that Farman man and Madame Malden. I’ve tried to throw tt off and (gacee tt. but since Bob’a death rm filled with vague fears.” “Coles was In love with youF “Yes, he baa said so for a long time.

Keeping Up O Science Service.—WNO Service. Elimination of Headlight Glare With New Material May Also Make ThreeDimension Movies Possible BOSTON.—A new optical material which promises to save thousands of lives now snuffed out in night driving because of headlight glare is announced by the Land Wheelwright Laboratories of this city. Known as Polaroid, the new material Is also to be used for sun glasses which take away light dazzle without darkening the view, and even more Important, make possible motion pictures in three dimensions that have the optical illusion of depth similar to viewing a scene with the naked eye. Other uses promised Include one-way glass for cross-court privacy In apartment buildings and brilliant building exteriors that change color as one walks by. Substance Polarizes Light. Polaroid resembles a sheet of glass but has the ability to polarize the light .which passes through It Now ready to be produced In unlimited quantities, the new material Is the first practical use of what has formerly been a laboratory and research phenomenon. Polarized light is light which vibrates only in one direction in contrast to the helter-skelter vibrations in the ordinary light ray. Polaroid acts to produce the polarized light. The best way to think of the complex phenomenon is to regard ordinary light vibrations as a mass of straws tossed up In a wind. They are blown against a picket fence. All straws are stopped except those parallel to the slats In the fence and all straws coming through are lined up in one direction. The material polarized acts as the picket fence. Would Ban Blinding Headlight. For use in automobiles all headlights would send out polarized light vibrating in one direction and all windshields would be "crossed” so that they would not permit such headlight rays to enter and blind the driver. The light from one’s own headlights would strike the ground ahead, be scattered with a destruction of the polarization and hence such light would enter the car and make possible vision dbwn the road just a9 headlights act now. The three-dimensional motion pictures are taken with a double camera having two lenses as far apart as the human eyes. When such films are shown the two views are projected on the same screen through polarizing sheets set at right angles to each other. The audience is supplied with special glasses. New Auto Springs Look Like Hot Water Bottles; Iron Gives Way to Air DETROIT. —Air springs for autos, consisting of bellows, are being used to replace the ordinary leaf springs, it was revealed at the meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers here by R. W. Brown. Still under experimental study, the air springs look somewhat like two large hot water bottles laid one on top of the other. Through tubing they connect with an air reservoir. As road shocks are encountered the air passes back and forth between bellows and reservoir. Tests have already Indicated, said Mr. Brown, that the rubberized fabric material la the air springs will stand 8.000.000 two-lnch deformations under 25 per cent overload. Body roll on curves Is eliminated by the use of a small pendulum device bung Inside the air spring which controls a valve mechanism. By valve action the air pressure on the air springs outside (on s given curve) ta maintained at a higher pressure than on those on side toward the inside of the curve. In comparable fashion the pendulum device is used to increase the pres sure on the air springs of the front wheels when the brakes are applied and thus “nosing down" of the car is prevented. Road testa of tbe newest development are under way on the Stout Scarab ear and already indicate good driving characteristics. Extreme Skull Distortion Found in Indian Burial WASHINGTON. — Calling a person a “pinhead” would have been a compliment, not an insult, in at least one tribe of Indians that lived In the South when white men first came into that region. Binding. Infants’ beads tn boards, to make them higher and more pointed, was carried to such an extreme that one old woman’s skull, recently found near Natehltochea. Ul, Is “pointed and almost the shape of a btehnp’s miter.” tn the phrase of the discoverer, Winslow M. Walker, formerly of the staff of the Bureau of American Ethnology bere. The Indians of this part of tbe Gulf country ware skilled potters, making beautifully shaped bowls and bottles ornamented with patterns of Incised lines. That they had contact with early white explorers ta now proved by tbe discovery of glass beads, scissors and other objects of European manufacture, burled along with their

What Happens to a Victim of Electrocution? Science Here Gives an Answer to the Curious WHAT happens in the body when a man is electrocuted? How does an electric current snuff out the spark of life? Can the victim be revived? Questions like these come to mind whenever an electrical accident ip the home or in Industry ta reported, or when a criminal is legally executed by electrocution. The questions can be Answered, but medical scientists are still working to find a sure way of restoring the victims of accidental electrocution. Victims of certain kinds of electric shock can be resuscitated. The victim of an Intentional electrocution, an executed criminal, cannot possibly be restored to life, authorities agree. Nervs Centers Destroyed. In the legal electrocution, important nerve centers In the central nervous system are hopelessly destroyed by the heat generated In the electrocution. A number of physicians have examined the bodies ot criminals after such executions. Dr. E. A. Spitzka made 27 such examinations and reported to the Medical Society of New Jersey that the temperature of the body rises and may reach 129.5 degrees Fahrenheit. (Normal body temperature Is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Water bolls at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.) The brain of an electrocuted criminal shows hemorrhage of the small blood vessels, anemia of the arteries and congestiofi In the veins. In some cases parts of the brain and spinal cord are Inflated and look as If gas or air had been blown into them. The blood itself can undergo electrolysis, be broken up into electrically charged lons and consequently Is decomposed. Electrocution “Most Humane.” Horrible as the details may sound, electrocution Is said to be beyond doubt the “most humane method of executing criminals.” There is no pain, consciousness is at once abolished. death is certain when from 7 to 10 amperes current at 1,800 to 2.000 volts potential are passed through the body. What about the all-too-frequent accidental electrocutions: the man who reaches from the bathtub in his own home to turn on an electric heater and Is killefl by the 110 volt current of his household lighting circuit: or the lineman of the telephone company, working on a wire carrying a minute current. too low to shock him. Who may nevertheless be fatally shocked if the current is unexpectedly stepped up by induction from a nearby transmission line? Artificial respiration may save these victims and should always be tried, starting immediately and continuing It, for hours, if necessary, until the patient breathes again or the rigidity of death sets in. In some cases of electric shock, however. artificial respiration cannot restore the victim to life because the electric current has affected his heart, causing what physicians call fibrillation. In this condition, each fiber of the heart muscle acts Individually, Instead of all contracting together aS they normally do. New Englanders Lose Famous Accent; Boston Abandons Broad “A” PROVIDENCE, R. I.—New England is losing its famous brand of speech. Even literary Boston, strongbold of the broad A, Is succumbing to tbe example „of non-Bostonian accents beard over the radio, on the movie screen, and in other contacts. Fading of New England’s individual way of talking Is detected by Dr. Hans Kurath of Rrown university, who has completed the first systematic survey of New England speech ever attempted. The survey Is for a Linguistic Atlas bf the United States and Canada, which Doctor Kurath is directing. H has taken four years to survey New England alone. Doctor Kurath reports. His staff visited 225 communities. talking with people, and making phonograph records and notations, ail the way from the Green mountains to Cape Cod and from Maine to Connecticut. Way down east, along the seacoast, New England phrases and pronunciations sre best holding their own, Doctor Kurath learned. A wheelharrow la still a “weelbarrow” in a coast village. And forty Is still “foty” with the vowel sounded like s in “all.” But western New Englarders pronounce their “r”s and central New Englanders are taking to the western fashion. Tbe playwright or novelist who portrays New England farmers, fishermen, and school teachers will In future have to achieve realism, it appears, not by odd dialect and quaint sayings, but by making his characters talk prosaically like other people from the northern United States. Feeding Sheep (Cornstarch Improves Yield of Wool LONDON. —Starch is usually thought of in connection with linen or cotton rather than wool; but two English researchers, A. H. H. Fraser and J. EL Nichols, of tbe Wool Industry Research Association of Leeds, state that they have used cornstarch for the Improvement of wooL The use Is an Indirect one: they feed the starch to the sheep. But the effects claimed are positive: the sheep, they state, produce more meat In less time, and the yield ol wool is Increased in both quantity and quality, individual fibers showing Increase in weight and length.

Monnties Get Their Man Today, the Royal Canadian Mounted police use more automobiles and motorcycles than horses. Their detectives are skilled in fingerprints and the science of ballistics. Canada’s Scotland Ya»d ta armed with all that the modern world knows of criminal psychology and methods of detection. The one-time riders of the plains have been developed Into a federal police, charged with the enforcement of the criminal code In six of Canada’s nine provinces, and with the enforcement of federal statutes throughout the whole Dominion. £ Changed conditions In living present the police with new crime problems. Fewer cattle thieves but more pay-roll bandits. Fewer Indian raids but the mystery of feuds begun In Europe culminating in a series of murders in the New world. The f tentacles of the drug traffic laid hold on city life. Gangsters, bootleggers, "big shots" of the underworld appeared. At tbe same time, along the frozen shores of Hudson bay In thepfukon and tbe far twilit Arctic, which eleo tricity, airplanes, radio have Invaded but failed to conquer, the Mounted patrols on snowshoes and dog sleds keep order and a benign surveillance over all. And the tradition, they get their man, goes on, upheld by the records of scores of recent crimes on file at headquarters in Ottawa. — Dorothy Giles tn Cosmopolitan.
