In fact, he act ually made money on the transaction. I only discovered how he did It by accident, and I’ve been wmmlering at the genuls and simplicity of the scheme ever since.

All of this time Alberta was standing In the room and at this Juncture let fly wbh the heavy goblet of pressed glass she had been carrying in her hand.

Then the flow of blood would recommence. In the meantime the woman, who had come 10 the office with him was In seml hysterh** She needed another Injection of morphine ami she had to leave him while she went to t drugstore and laid In a supply of the drug When l>r. Norton arrived he *{ltched tip the gash and placed tight compresses about Hitker's head. In this manner the flow of blood was stopped and the man o fixed up that he could be helped Into the cab.

The matter was not reported to the po lice and no arresis have been made.
