I know I know, I tell you because I feared for his safety, and when he went to his room I locked him in!" "Superintendent!" The word was voiced by every man present, and six pairs of eyes turned toward Narkom with a look of despairing comprehension. "Get to the cellar. Head the man off! It's he the Cracksman!" he shouted out. "Find him! Get him! Nab him, if you have to turn the house upside down!"
Superintendent Hawkins had rounded up the foremen, and now sent them to the checker's hut to deal with the men. "Some of you are my men," said Payson, looking the lot over. "You're discharged." "What's that?" roared the same indignant spokesman, a big, bull-necked, red-faced fellow. "Discharged," said Payson briefly. "All of you who belong to my gang.

On his leaving Superintendent W. D. Jarvis, who had seen service in Africa and became a very popular officer, took over the duties of Adjutant and Riding Master, Griesbach took charge of discipline and foot-drill, while S. B.

"If you think it will do any good," she volunteered, "I'll go and call on the Davises this very afternoon.
There were possibilities about the former theory which I pointed out to Superintendent Galloway, who subsequently investigated them, and declared that there was no ground for the theory that the murder had been committed from outside. The theory that the murder had been committed by somebody inside the inn turned my attention to the inmates of the inn.
"Weel," admitted the superintendent, "we maybe have our notions, but there's no evidence yet, Robbie; that's the fair truth. As the fiscal says, there's no evidence."
