"If anybody thinks this job‘s a snap, let him try it," the boss added aggrievâ€" ediy. "Oh, public your grandmother!" Cochran replied impatienly. "Get all that tommyrot out of your head, son. If the government of this town was left to the public, there wouldn‘t be any government inside of a year, beâ€" cause the public don‘t give a damn about it. Who told you to draw $200 a month when you couldn‘t find any other job?" * Certainly Donavan did owe the keep of himself and family these last seven months to the boss‘s benevolent interâ€" est, and he was not the man to deny an obligation. It popped into his head that if Cochran‘s powerful hand should be withdrawn now the family would probably be set out on the sideâ€" Donavan swallowed and asked, in helpless candor, "Why don‘t you leave it to the law and the courts?" And by way of vague reply to his relative‘s last remark he added, "It‘s the public‘s business." boss repeated. "You was excited. You made a mistake. When you get a good look at Handy Andy Hatch you‘ll see he wasn‘t the man." That sounded easy, the way Cochran t it, and Donavan was aware that m would be powerfully protected in correcting his "mistake." But there was that stubbornness in him; he swallowed and replied unhappily: Donavan, drawing a hand across his brow, could only mutter. "I don‘t see how you could be held responsible in a case like this." Then he blurted in amazement: "Why, this is murder, Uncle Frank!" Cochran then took the novice someâ€" what farther inside the works: "Andy knows what‘s coming to him as well as anybody does. He‘s done gocd work all along. If aman de‘ivers the goods he‘s entitled to claim his pay. You see, son, you‘re credited to me. I put you in. Whatever you do I‘m held responsible for."

Hatch was a gangling, middleâ€"aged man with a bony, smoothâ€"shaven face and a neutral, sandy sallow comâ€" plexion. He sat crosslegged in what might have been called the bar. His lawyer, astute Abe Truman, sat near him, but not next to him. The chair between Hatch and Truman was ocâ€" cupied by a man whom Donavan "ad never seen before, but whom the Assistant State‘s Attorney knew to be a cousin of Hatch. Sitting side by side, the cousins did not look strikingâ€" ly alike, yet both were gangling, middleâ€"aged, _ with _ smoothâ€"shaven, bony, sallow faces. Seen separately, one might be mistaken for the other. Seeing the cousin, Mangler had no doubt what the trick was going to be, nor that the cousin could prove inâ€" dubitably that he was elsewhere when !t‘he holdâ€"up and murder_ cccurred. After the first look Donavan carefully kept his eyes away from that pair. i (To be continued.) Thke carrying power of the eagle is not more than ten or twelve pounds.

Tell your druggist whether the material you wish to dye is wool or silk, or whether it is linen, cotton, or mixed goods. Diamond Dyes never streak, spot, fade, or run. In due time the investigator came to report and laid a sealed packet on the table. Without opening the packet the profiteer asked how much his fee was. "I want one thousand pounds," the man replied, "to say nothing." Men act from impulse and find a reason afterwards, while women act upon impulse and do not troub‘e about the reason. Dye Skirt, Dress or Faded Draperies in Diamond Dyes Donavan looked ill when he entered the musty and crowded room. _ The usual healthful color of his face had gone off to a sickly hue and there were dark circles under his eyes. He took one quick look at the sight which had inspired Mangler‘s derision and then swiftly looked upâ€"never again turning his eyes in that direction until he was or the witness stand. Hatch had calmly iiven himself up, which suggested to the cynical proseâ€" cutor that he was confident of going free. Mangler wondered what the trick was going to be this time; but presâ€" ently he perceived what it was going to be, and the satirical little smile beneath his mustache broadened for an instant. While beaming Gus Whelpley was driving Eugene Donavan home Cochâ€" ran was telephoning, briefly and cryptically. to an acquaintance. About the time Donavan was getting into a sleepless bed Hatch walked coolly into & police station and gave himself up, averring he had just learned that the police were looking for him, denying that he had been concerned in the holdâ€"up, saying he had a perfect alibi. Assistant State‘s Attorney Mangler attended the inquest upon young Benny Mitchell in behalf of the public prosecuton. It was clear to him, as to everybody else, that the charge against Hatch rested entirely upon the paymaster‘s positive identification, and Mangler entered the Coroner‘s court in a cynical state of mind, a satirical little smile lurking beneath his dark, thick and curly mustache.
