Winter Issue Scribulus Page 25 MURDER ON THE DOCKS It was a cooled damp night the town clock had Just struck twelve Jack Smith the detective who knew to much about the underworld was troding along the sidewalk that were allready deserted. He was wistl-ing a gay tune when all of a sudin there was a wizing sound An arrow had sunk deep in his back he fell fase fored on the wet sidwalk and all was quite. Then a dark figure lurched from behind a wall with a bow in his hand. But there was someting peculer about the man he stooped over Smith cold body and took his report out of his pocket. He had a slight limp in his left leg and as he speded away in the mud both his foot prints were left only the right foot was deeper than the left. Lawyer Smith best friend was looking thoughtfully at the two foot prints in the mud he was thinking about the little peace of clouth on the end of the arrow, and he sead to himself the peace of clouth looks very familear he sead he thought of an Idea and follewed it out he took the peace of cloth and went down to the Knight Owl Sallon and he sat at a table and watchs every man who went by them he spoted his man he walked over put the hand cuffs on him fitted the peaces of cloth on he sleave and through him found the biggest crook of the underworld and so crime does not Pay . . . Anon. The old, shabby house set far back from the long, dusty road almost made me feel sad as I gazed upon it. Perhaps, at one time it had stood proudly and borne the reputation of being the most handsome in the surrounding country; but now, sadly enough, the wrath of nature had made it bow down and suffer, seemingly in shame. The paint had long since been worn off, the two large porches sagged pitifully, and the windows drooped recklessly. The west end seemed as though at any time it might drop suddenly and separate itself from the rest of the house. I felt that if I were to walk in and view the interior I would undoubtedly hear the echoes of the many happy families that had lived there but left it so entirely forlorn.
