followed by the Ohinaman's voice in-
termingled with boyish accents de-

Kent had quietly removed "The Roe

"Spedal from the village," announc-
ed young Mercury: "Sign here."
After the eignature had been dilly
set down and the :signer had read the
message with knit brows, the urchin
'lingered, big with news.
"Say; heard about the body on the
beach?" • . •
Kent turned quickly to see Sedg-

unmoved as be replied: -
, "No. W13ere was it found?"
"Lonesome Cove. Woman. Dressed

"It's curious, hew they all come in

"And it's a corkerinol" said the boy.
"Sheriff's on. the ease Body Body was all

"I'm sure they need you at the office

said Kent "And bet you this

With a grin the boy took the coin.
