between the crosses row on aw that mark our place and in ire skj the larks still bravely singing fcy scarce heard amid the gun below we are the dead short dajs ago we lived felt dawn saw sunset glow loved and were loved and uow we lie in flanders fields fell for this gould woman ad had to do some twotit on his own ac count the tried to work the thayers both ways benny was gettin all he could from the madam to cover up thatcheque business and at the same time he was workii thayer on ac count of ross and the madam only thayer was too smart for them he pretended to be fallin for it and he came across but all the time he was workin to get back to the dec he did it too that was why he was put out the doc was smart he figured out that he was iil a jam from what benny told him the doc was the one planned the killin that was why he had to know where every one was that night eemy gave the cheque lack to thayer here then he trailed him home went up the fire escape and got in and shot him it was benny burned those papers little idea of his own that was he had another bright idea too thayer had that safe back of the fireplace open and benny wiped the gun clean and stuck it in there but it was the doc who figured out how to use that to frame the madam that line benny pulled on you was a stall they never fig ured on gettin any five grand out of you they wanted you to tell the madam about the gun bein there and then they was goin to tip con- nolly off so hed give her a chance to get it and pinch her as she did it when it wouldnt have any prints on it but hers see you got to hand it to the doc hes full of smart ideas he might have pulled a fast one there but for two things one was that you and me was workin together and the other was that connolly was ready to pinch mrs thayer without any ip from him but the thing that beat him was what always beats that par ticular kind of smart guy that he has to work with dumb ones like benny i had berny sewn up before i ever found the watch something to do with that stunt you pulled down in mercer street firing that gun at the pillows right i got a break there two or three breaks but i had- them coming to me first off i wanted to check up on whether that gun was the one that had been used to kill thayer then there was something else id been figuring on bennys being the one who bumped him off and i had something up my sleeve there was a shootin up here a while back benny plugged a guy one night selfdefence no argument about that i didnt pinch benny an i even let him keep his cannon but i got the bullet out of the fellas arm that was shot seemed to me it might come in handy some time benny be ing the sort of gorilla he was maybe you dont know it but every bullet thats fired carries the signature of the gun that fired it theres markins from the riflin of the barrel thats as easy to read as fingerprints when you know how so this afternoon i had three bullets the one we knew had killed thayer the one i knew benny had pumped into this guys arm and the one you saw me shoot into those pillows i had them all checked up while you waited for me before we ate we got a lot of experts down at head quarters that can do anything from read a chinese laundry ticket to tellin you was a button sewn on to a pair of pants here or in scotland they eat their heads off mostly but they come in handy every so often i well i had benny the minute 1 knew about those three bullets but i didnt have the docsee that was why i pulled the grand stand stuir with the watch it took some thin like that to make benny crumple up and come across hell tell a story now that all the lawyers the doc can hire cant break thayer well i guess he had his faults but his number went up be cause he was game enough to go up against a blackmailin gang that was tryin to do his wife dirt when you come down to it he was the one broke finds out what ive put over on him this night to be concluded to my mother by e ludwig franz meyer student of law

flanders pop pies every armistice day no woodsmen in the world better than canadians in discussing old country markets for canadian timber the statement has sometimes beed made that there is something about the united king dom timber trade that calls for a spe cial kind of woods operation and a special sawing specification that cana dians have difficulty in meeting this statement is denied emphatically by mr george is nicholson ml chap- leau in an article contributed to the canada lumberman he says no greater fallacy could be imag- ltied there are no woodsmen in the world more efficient than canadian woodsmen they can take out saw- logs to any specification required and canada grows the timber and when the logs come to the mill canadian sawmills can saw the timber into any size required with the slightest change in machinery or personnel these facts cannot be stressed too strongly in any discussion or consider ation concerning the canadianunited kingdom timber trade mr nicholson is convinced that with patience and proper srles meth ods eastern canada will regain a sub stantial volume of the united king dom- timber trade he believes thai the british government will
