Involuntarily now; his mind once more fashioned a map. of the neighborhoodâ€"one that carried the fatal alley straight behind the house across the way. . "I mentioned,” Mr. Flint was pursu- lng, “that this case offered some rath- ism extraordinary features. So far,; puite the most extraordinary is that a; man was struck down on a populous; thoroughfare, in broad daylight, and fibody saw the actual deed. Besides e newsboy, there was a lady almost‘ directly across the street from the alley, who witnessed from a window: the man sink to the walk. But she paw no one running from the scene.’ “Perhaps,” murmured Van Vechten yâ€"“perhaps no one did.” ‘ “Ahâ€"to be sure,” observed Mr. Flint, smoothly. “A crowd gathered very‘ quickly, I believe; what was easier than to remain and mingle with it? An old trick, Mr. Van Vechten. ” That young man did not meet the swift oblique glance that swept his immobile features. Mr. Flint rose: slowly, and stood irresolutely finger-3 ing his hat. He was again absently? contemplating the Silent House. Afterg a moment his eyes crinkled in a smile; He said softly: “I see, Mr. Van Vechten, that the. same thought has come to both of us.“ And before departing he bestowed at final reflective nod upon Number 1313.‘ Tom Phinney’s Adventure. Tom Phinney was so accustomed to what he was pleased to call his friend’s “aberrations, " that at Van Vechten’ s intimation that he desired to be left alone, Tom stalked off to the billiard room without a word. Unluckily for his peace of mind., he intruded upon two of his closest cronies, and interrupted a desultory! game of billiards. And the instant he, appeared he was assailed by a bom-' bardment of questions, all prompted by eager curiosity respecting Number. 1818's tragedy. “Say, you fellows, cut it out!” he cried in desperation. “I'm not going! he tell you anything at all.

Canada has undertaken to supply, largely from its own excess railway mileage, at least one thousand miles of rails and other track material for immediate use in France. The Domin- ion Government roads, the Grand Trunk, Canadian Northern and Can- adian Pacific are all co-operating to meet the sudden demand. Already 300 miles of Government railway sid- ings are in process of being taken up and shipped to France. The Im- perial Government last Wednesday asked the Dominion to help solve the difficulties of the French railway situation, both in the relief of port congestion and the movement of guns andmunitions behind the lines. Thousand Miles of Canadian Track to be Torn Up Total prohibition throughout France of the consumption of such alcoholic beverages as whiskey, brandies and liqueurs‘has been decided on by the Government. Premier Briand’s de- claration before the Chamber of Depu- ties on the subject was greeted with loud applause from many of the ben- ches. Deputy Mayeras interjected: “In the army also?" “Yes, in the en- tire country," said the Premier. The Austrian Government resigned last week. The Ministry of Dr. von Koerber succeeded that of Count Karl 'Btuergkh, who was assassinated in Vienna, Oct. 21. There has been con- stant and bitter criticism of the Aus- trian Government since the beginning of the war. No session of the House has been held since the conflict start- ed, the Government having decided to “run the war” without the House. The official report from British Headquarters in France issued Sunday night reads: “Last night a party of our troops successfully raided the enemy's trenches near Ransart, in- flicting a number of casualties and bombing his dug-outs. We also en- tered the enemy's trenches southwest of Wytschaete, where we destroyed machine gun emplacements.” The total German casualties, exclud- ing those in the naval and colonial service, reported in the German of- flcial statement, was 166,176 officers and men, for November, making the total German losses in .gilled, wound- ed and missing since the war broke out 3,921, 860. ‘ Enlistments in Canada to the anfi 1 last week totalled 381.483. 99‘ The Canadian Military Ho' tals Commission has arranged for the ’commodation of 1,600 more invalide soldiers at various centres through. out Canada, besides the 2,615 already “ench Took 11,387 Prisoners and Many Guns North of Douaumont â€"Tota|s Grow GIVE FRANCE RAILWAYS ANSWER TO HOLLWEG France Abolishes Alcohol Austrian Cabinet Resigns Huns Lose Four Millions British Trench Raids St. Catharines, Ontâ€"“Two yeam ago I was in a very nervous, generqlly run- down condmon, so 5’ ,3. “:1\\‘ that I awoke in_the ' ’ " ' \. mormng more tlred :5? 2:. 3"" ‘3 than whenI retired. - '3 T hedoctorsthought =5; '» {”11 I had heart trouble '“- ~~~~ 53;": and treated me for ';;~==_' jig-f? it but I got no w" -1 ,; benefit.
