to the modus operandi of his means
of getting them!
The Spirit of the Law —

The wily Indian went into action.
He arrived at the American’s camp,
and made a deal with him to guide
him to his destination, the Cariboo
goldfields. He-also collected half his
pay in advance! That night he waited
until snores from his new employer’s
blankets indicated that he wasn’t
troubled by an uneasy conscience, and
then left his own bed. Crawling to
where the two horses were tethered,
he cut the ropes; after which, he filled
his mouth with grass and chewed the
cut ends, to make it appear that the
horses themselves had used their teeth
to get their freedom. Quietly driving
them away from the camp, the next
morning he turned them over to the
waiting sheriff and collected the
promised reward.

Once again British justice had been
served, even though by a reputed
horse thief. In all the long history of
law enforcement in British Columbia,
it is doubtful if any other case can be
found where a properly constituted
officer of the law connived in theft to
return stolen property to its rightful
owners. This was indeed serving the
spirit, rather than the letter, of the

law! ye >&

He Wants the Tough Hero to Call
for a Double Passion Fruit - Neat

As the cell door slammed shut on the
chief of the spy ring, the steely-eyed
detective hurried off down the road
and turned into the first milk bar.
“A double lemon squash neat,’ he
ordered.

THIS IS THE KIND of thriller
ending that temperance worker Dr.
Charles Marsh, 69, hopes to be read-
ing soon. Heroes in popular fiction
are much too expert at swallowing
whiskies and other strong drinks, he
thinks.

“They NEVER seem to drink any-
thing else,” he complained at the
annual meeting of Western Temper-
ance League, of which he is president.

So the League decided to appeal to
writers of Britain’s thrillers: “Make
your hero go into a milk bar and have
a fruit drink for a change.”

Dr. Marsh, of Bath, said if enough
authors adopted this suggestion, the
idea would die that a man was a soft
kind of fellow if he didn’t drink hard
liquor.

“The problem is to find a satis-
factory substitute for the hero to
drink. Milk isn’t very exciting.

His Idea Is...

“If I were writing a novel my hero
would swallow aerated pineapple or
orange juice, or maybe a dash of con-
centrated passion-fruit juice with
soda.”
