Dear Sir
Considerable discussion seems to
be going on at present among the
Citizens as to the advisability of
haying a municipal :'contest for
our next years representatives why
not elect all by acclamation , and
give what we would save in the
expense of our Election, give to
the, Red Cress or any other War
Fund. Thu idea is a good one and
should meet with the approval of
all our Citizens. This idea has been
mentioned' In many other places
'and if adopted would in the aggre
gate amount mean alarge' sum of
money to a good care,

bore the figures 1:03 over its doorway, although it stood,
down Gramercy Parkway, and that was not its street
number at all. The House of Mystery had been un-
occupied for many. years. And then, one Stinday.morn-
ing, two Young meri in a club window across the way
noticed that every time the clock struck, someone' en-
tered the House of Mystery. They watched,'breath-
lessly, to see what would happen next; and even while
they watched, a man was murdered.
