Swiped two tons of coal. from MacPhee.
N SPITE of the fact that there
were outcroppings of coal here
and there, and that seHlers could
cart lie notso-bitumimuis stuff
away i',r two d3lars a |.011, some-
,ne went to the trouble to steal two
t-n. of the wretched stuff from a
settler's back yard one night, and
the incidcat gave rise to some un-
usoaJly delicate situations. The los-
er, a hard-working and worthy na-
tive Canadian, kept the news of his
loss to himself for several days,
meanwhile trying to do a bit of am-
ateur detective work on his own.
Ten days passed, without results, so
one morning he saddled up and vis-
ited the nearest post of the Royal
Mounted.
Both the Mounted and the settler
realized, of course, that the amount
involved was rather small. Never-
theless, the laws concerning prop-
erty rights must be upheld, and an
experienced member of the Royal
Mounted was assigned to look into
the matter. Starting in on a "cold
trail" has many disadvantages, and
the Mounted failed to turn up the
slightest clue, for it is impossible
to identify stolen coal when all the
coal in the district came from the
same vein. Furthermore, cold
weather had set in and, somewhere
that coal was being burned. At any
rate, it began to appear that the
case of the stolen coal was to join
the rather small index of unsolved
cases. It was not forgotten, though,
by the three men of the Royal
Mounted stationed in that district.
They stored the details away in the
index of their minds confident that
some day, somewhere, the first clue
would come to light. Nor was their
confidence misplaced.
Then one morning a chap known as
the "Smiling Constable" was trot-
ting his horse along the patrol when
he observed a settler, away over
to his right, waving and beckoning
him to come over. In a few min-
utes the settler and the "Smiling
Constable" were deep in whispered
conversation behind the small stb-
ble.
"My daughters know the whole
story about who stole the coal
from MacPhee's place," said the
settler, "but unless you promise to
protect their modesty and woman-
hood, we refuse to help you."
"Protect themI" exclaimed the
Man of the Mounted, "Why . . . of
course I will. Witnesses, oh? That's
fine. Now, just where were they
when they saw the robbery?"
"That's just the point. To shout
that information in an open court
room would be extremely em-
barrassing to them. One's fourteen,
the other's sixteen . . . and to go
into details would . . "
"Why 'extremely embarrauipg'
• . was it so awful . . .?"
"No, perfectly natural. Fact is
they were taking care of a little
matter that isn't mentioned in po-
lite society." And so it developed

started shouting for witnesses, but
the Royal Mounted objected. The
Judge demanded explanations. The
Man of the Mounted prosecuting the
case asked the judge to step down
from the bench for a moment. His
honor complied, and the mounted
policeman was soon whispering
closely into the judge's ear. The
Judge resumed his seat, at which
the shyster began a display of tan-
truss. Finally, the lawyer ran out
of breath and words, and the judge
asked if he were finished.
"Yes . . . I am . . but what
does your so-called British law
amount to when witnesses are for-
bidden to take the stand?" he shout-
ed.
"Why, my dear sir," smiled his
honor, "it amounts to 18 months
for your clients, imprisonment at
hard labor, and if you don't .behave
yourself, you'll do part of it with
them. Next case." Later the shy-
ster learned why the girls had be@n

ened to reopen the case. The
Mounted promised to run him out of
