The car used was a new Ford touring car, the numbers being ascer- tained by the girl. With the numbers known and the excellent description furnished the authorities had little dif- ficulty in running down the would-be robber. The numbers on the car proved that it was stolen from Mildmay and a de- tective was soon on his trail. He traced the lad through Tara to Bad- en, where he Ieft the stolen Mildmay car and stole another machine, While Detective Faulkner was driving along a sideroad near St. Paul, he spotted the number of the stolen car from Baden and turned his machine and gave chase and as soon as he did so. the driver of the other car "stepped' on the gas:" The chase kept up for about 15 miles until the driver of the first car attempted to make the turn on to the Huron highway. He was going too fast, however and had to slow down. As he did so Mr. Faulk: tier's car struck his and threw the first car into the ditch: Faulkner immediately jumped from his machine and "covered" the fugitive driver, who was later found, according to the po- him to, he would likely be in a much pocket. His name was Chas. Erb of Tavi- stock and he was taken to Stratford, but Mr. Faulkner ..states, refused to make any statement except to admit that the car he was driving was stolen, Band Concert In Park Listowel's Fine Brass Band will play in the Wingham.

Many missionaries give up their lives carrying the Gos- pel of Christ to these degraded can- nibal tritesa but volunteers have - nev- er been wanting to take their places.
