from end to end with books and
papers, while the drawers of the
desk had been taken out and left
lying around. About $1 worth of

visitors in the doctor's study.
"They have not taken one of my
sermons," said the pastor ofBroad-

they had taken the one on the ne
temere they would have had some-
thing to ponder over."
In the passage leading from the
study to the first bedroom they

and two bank books.
The bedroom. was a scene of,
great disorder. Everything in the
room was turned inside out ap-
parently. The bedding was up-
turned and a valuable grip was
ruined in the eagerness of the visi-
tors to rifle its contents. From an-
other room a revolver which the
doctor used at Muskoka to shoot
ground hogs when they are
troublesome was taken. A box
containing forty-two bullets was
also taken.

side /passage has three sides, ansi

where there are two Hydro lights.,

clergyman and his wife returned
from church the front door was
found wide open, so that presum-

front door.
