I A Story of "Retributive g
I Justice" I
* — i
g By CLARISSA MACKIE 5
Although wo composed the luw firm
of Hurley & Ropers in the Spindle
building, my partner. Jack Rogers, and
I had so successfully solved a number
of littl e- mysteries that we were often
consulted on matters thn£ really be-
longed to the sph ere of the detective.
I suppose that is how it happened
that one fine April morning our office
door opr-nwl to admit a tall, lank, dark
man of past middle age, -who gazed in-
quiringly at us from melancholyblack
eyes.
"Harley & Rogers?" he Inquired po-
litely.
My partner arose and offered him a
chair. "This is Mr. Harloy," he intro-
duced me, with a flourish of his arm,
"and I'm Rogers."
"I presume it will be necessary to
consult both of you," began the stran-
ger, producing a card -which bore the
name of Mr. Melancthon Thorne,
known to us by reputation as a rich
man and an eccentric one.
"Well , what can we do for you, Mr.
Thome:" I asked briskly, for it was
our custom always to appear to be
heels over head in business when as a
matter of fact we had not as yet an
extensive clientele of the right sort—
the litigant port, I should pay.
"I have hea rd of your success in un-
raveling a number of mysteries, and
I have called upon yon for similar serv-
ices."
"Yes?" Jack's tone was alert, and I
was agog with Interest. We dearly
loved our adventures in "sleuthing."
"I have suffered a loss." Mr. Thorne
frowned heavily, and I ccruM have
sworn a tear* came into his hard eye.
"It is murdor, downright murder!"
We gasped. This was something
new.
"Hum!" said Jack in a businesslike
tone. "Give us the particulars, please."
"Well, when 1 arose this morning he
was dead on the floor," declared Mr.
Thorne.
"Who was dead?" we asked in uni-
p.on, and I furtively reached for the
morning paper on Jack's desk.
"Ulysses was stone dead on the rug
in the library. lie sleeps there most of
the time. lie has the asthma, and it is
a warm spot."
"Ah. Ulysses is—er—your butler?"
ventured Jack.
Mr. Thorne stared savagely at my
partner. "Butler? Good heavens, no,
man! He is my dog."
A tear dimmed the other hard black
eye of our new client.
"You suspect some one of killing
your dog? Ilave you an enemy—had
your dog an enemy?"
"I suppose I have enemies—most rich
men have them—but poor Ulysses
could not have hud one. I've owned
him for years. lie was a pug, a thor-
oughbred and a blue ribbon winner in
his younger days. He was always of a
kindly disposition and greatly beloved
by all my servan ts. Indeed, I had a
butler who felt quite honored when
Ulysses once bit him playfully on tho
calf of his leg."
Jack's hand hid the smile on his
face. "I suppose Hawkins felt no 111
effects from the playful bite?" he asked.
Mr. Thorne shrugged a careless shoul-
der. "I believe he suffered from a
slight limp after that, but he always
said he didn 't mind as long as Ulysses
didn't mean any harm. In fact, 1 am
positive the fellow didn't hold malice,
for often alter that I have come upon
him standing In close proximity to
Ulysses and looking at him fixedly-
kindly, I should say."
"No doubt," murmured Jack hastily
"Is Hawkins with you now?"
"No; he has retired to a small farm
outside the city, ne has a family of
grown up sons and daughters."
"You say you found the dog dead—
you are positive he did not die from
natural causes7"
"I called in a physician.' He pro-
nounced It a caseof arsenlo poisoning."
"Have you any Idea who might have
done this thing?" queried Jack.
"No. The servants In the house are
above suspicion,"
"Suppose we walk around to the
scene of the—er—crime and look over
the situation," suggested Jack, and I
arose with alacrity to accompanythem.
Fifteen minutes later Mr. Thome's
electric car discharged us before the
door of his dignified stone mansion.
He led us directly to the library, whore
a pathetic sight met our eyes.
There, lying In state, was the de-
ceased Ulysses.
A -white fur rug had been laid on a
table and upon It was the pug dog.
Around his neck was a gold collar
Btudded with turquoises.
Rogers and I took a survey of the
room. It was a handsome apartment,
the walls lined with bookcases and the
desks and. tables littered with books

and pamphlets. In one corner was a
typewriting machine.
"You have a private secretary?" ask-
ed Jack.
"I did have one, but he left me re-
cently. I have been advertising for a
young woman to take his place," re-
sponded Mr. Thorne, turning from a
Bad contemplation of his dead pet.
"You say you left Ulysses in excel-
lent health when you retired last night,
but that you found him dead this
morning?" queried my partner.
"Tea, and, gfcnt'einou. r«.
-member thac
I exonerate all my servants," he said
solemnly.
"Did you have any visitors yesterday
In this room?"
"Several young women came in re-
sponse to my advertisement for a sec-
retary."
"Ah! Did Ulysses appear to object
to the presence of any of them?"
"No—cr— I believe he was rather
playful with one young woman. She
had removed her glove to show me a
sample of her writing when Ulysses
snatched at it and hid It somewhere. I
was mortified that it could not be
found, but the young woman was very
gracious about It and said it did not
matter in the least"
"You have not recovered the glove?"
"No; I haven't thought of it since."
"Did you hire the young woman?"
"No; I didn't decide upon any of
them. She impressed me favorably.
She is employed in a law office at pres-
ent, but Is dissatisfied with the situa-
tion. She appeared bright enough, but
she had a bit of a Cockney accent that
might grate upon me if I was com-
pelled to listen to it daily." Mr. Thorne
polished his eyeglasses with fastidious
care
"She was English, then?'
"Yes."
While my partner was talking to Mr.
Thorne I was quite busy looking for
the dropped glove. I found It presently
and examined it with interest.
Its color impressed me at once. It
was rather an unusual color in a lady's
glove. It was bright green kid, or,
rather, had been bright green until the
playful Ulysses bad chewed it Into a
dull looking rag. There were traces of
Its orlginarcoloFin spols, ana" tEe glove
appeared to have been new. The name
of the maker was there—"Panwith,
London."
"I believe I have a clew, Mr. Thorne,"'
I said, stuffing the glove Into my
pocket. "I will return In fifteen min-
utes;" and without further explanation
I left the house and repaired to the
shop of a friend of mine, a chemist
He made a test and assured me that
the green glove I showed him con-
tained a deadly poison in the dye.
"Would it kill a dog if he chewed it
up?" I aHked.
"So dead that he'd never yap ngaln,"
assured Pills solemnly, and I hastened
with this information to the Thorne
house.
"As a matter of fact, then, my poor
Ulysses committed suicide, for his own
playfulness led to his death," lamented
Mr. Thorne when I had concluded,
"Some one should warn the young
woman of the deadly nature of the
glove she still retains. I wonder If an
advertisement inserted In the paier
would be effective? Unfortunately, 1
have forgotten her name and address."
"Leave It to us, Mr. Thorne," I said
confidently. "We will trace the young
woman and warn her; also we will
write to the manu facturer of the gloves
and tell him of this fatal accident"
"You are indeed clever," said Mr.
Thorne amiably as he shook hands
with ub, "and you merit the reputation
you have gained along these lines.
Poor Ulysse3 wiU be interred at the
dog cemetery tomorrow. If you gen-
tlemen care to attend"—
"With pleasure!" we murmured In
unison, nnd It was not until we were
out of sight of the house that I real-
ized what we had said.
"How are you going to make good
on the girl with the green glove?"
asked Jack when we bad stopped
laughing.
"I'll show you," I said proudly. "I
have remembered seeing another glove
of this particular hue. Watch me!"
Jack watched me closely as wo re-
turned to tho office and I entered my
private room. I could hear Miss Daw-
son tapping the type machine In her
cubbyhole of a room beyond. I pressed
the button that would summon her to
our presence.
She came, a large, fat, pink and
white golden haired girl, who quivered
like a blanc mange whenever she
moved.
"I have found your other green
glove, Miss Dawson," I said without
preface.
"Oh, Mr. Harley!!" she gasped, los-
ing her pretty color. "You never dldl"
"Yes. The pug dog at Mr. Thome's
snatched It from your hand yesterday
and chewed it. It may interest you to
know that the dog died from the ef-
fects of the feast. Are you related to
the Hawkins who was formerly butler
for Mr. Thorne?"
She nodded. "He's my grandfather
Mr. Harley."
"That's all, Miss Dawson-onl5
there's a new pair of gloves coming tc
you; perhaps we better make it a dozer
pairs."
Jack grinned appreciatively at me at
she left the room smiling. "How dk
you ever bring her into the game?"he
asked.
I lifted my waste paper basket and
bade him look into It
There on the pile of paper was an
almost new bright green kid glove

name was plainly legible. "Panwith
London," it read.
"I noticed it there this morning, and

because when I found the chewed
glove there in the library I saw the
name inside and found my first cle-w
to our first murder myBtery. MissDaw
son had thrown this odd glove away,"
"Queer—queer as the devil, isntit?'
asked Jack.
"Yes, all of it Think of the dog bit-
ing that old butler and laming him foi
life, and then the girl, his granddaugh
ter, going there and by accident wear-
ing these new gloves and the beast
chewing one and dying. What do you
call it?'

How Our Wtizens Can Find Freedom
From Kidney Troubles
If you sufior from backache—
From urinary disorders—
Any curable disease of the kidneys,
Use a tested kidney reinody.
Doan 's Kidney Pills have, been test-
ed by thousands.
Grateful people testify.
Can you ask more convincing proof
of merit?
Mrs. R. M.# Keene, State St., Sand-
wich, Mass., says: "Two years ago a
dull ache in my back robbed me of
energy. My kidneys were also out of
order and the kidney secretions were
unnatural. As soon as I commenced
using Doan's Kidney Pills, I felt bet-
ter in every way and in a short time
my trouble disappeared."
The above is not an isolated case.
Mrs. Keene is only one of many in
this vicinity who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan 's. If your back aches—
if your kidneys bother you , don 't sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—ask
distinctly for Doan 's Kidney Pills , the
same that Mrs. Knene had. TiOc all
stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Props
Buffalo, N. Y.
For sale by all dealers. Price HO
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo
New York, foIc agents for the United
States.
Remember the name—Doan 's—an d
j take no other.
