The coroner took three deep breaths and dropped dead.

It looked like Choplin had been poisoned too. It was now becoming evident someone wanted him dead. The detective assigned to the case was the famous Surelock Combs. He took a close look at the body and said, "How was he killed?" Surelock picked the 12-gauge shotgun up from the floor, pulled the bayonet out of Choplin's back and unwrapped the guitar string from his neck. "These must be the murder weapons," he said in a reflective mood.

"What's this?" Bending overf the great detective picked up a leaf of lettuce from the floor. iiMil' fl "1 Then To School PERM'S If) ll' Sears Catalog has everything for back-to school With all the hustle and bustle of getting the JljS BEAUTIFY AND CONDITION YOUR HAIR 1 1 By HARRY REYNOLDS J-G Staff Writer CHARLESTON, 111. Most of us get the urge at one time or another to write a best-selling murder mystery. Everyone loves to read about people getting shot, strangled, stabbed or talked to death. The killer is usually the last person suspected in most murder mysteries.

Take the case of Sloppy Choplin for example. Sloppy hated people. He was a rich old man who lived in a mansion on the top of a con- ventional spooky hill in a foggy swamp. Choplin had a butler, a maid, a chauffer and a worthless nephew named Reginald. The nephew carried a butcher knife in his hand at all times and enjoyed carving up neigh-, borhood cats.

It seems there was a will involved in the plot. Sloppy -had decided to deed his wealth to his maid, a young lady. of great beauty. Reginald not get cent of his uncle's estate. When Reginald found out about the will he swore to kill his uncle in a letter to the local newspaper.

One morning the maid went in to clean up Choplin's room. Reginald, the butler and the chauffer were sitting at the -dinner table on the first floor eating breakfast. Suddenly, there was a scream and the maid ran out of Slop-py's room yelling, "Mr. Choplin's been murdered." Everyone rushed upstairs and looked into the old man's room. He was dead as a doornail.

Someone had shot him 42 times, stabbed him 54 times and him 12 times with guitar string. yj know whohemttrtteref itids ready to head JT 1 1 PERMANENT SPECIALS.

Everyone in the room looked shocked aT- this unexpected revelation. "How do you know?" said Dr. Ciotson, Combs' faithful companion. "Elementary, my dear Ciotson," replied piece of lettuce is wilted." Suddenly, the maid pulled a shotgun out of her apron pocket and said, "You will never live to put my sweet love in prison, Combs." Quicker than Superman without his suit, Combs threw the leaf of lettuce, knocking the shotgun out of the maid's hands.

Later, Surelock explained the maid and the garbage man had planned the murder in order to get the inheritance faster. It seems the garbage man needed a new truck. 4 ALL WORK DONE BY STUDENTS UNDER SUPERVISION OF Ft 1 LICENSED INSTRUCTORS. la I i (ft I do the rest. What could be easier?
