Hull of all he knew. Moreover, in
his fear Hull had let slip one admis-
sion. Shibo, the little janitor, had
some evidence against him. Hull knew
it, Why was Shibo holding back?
The fat man had practically said that
Shibo had seen him come out of Cun-
ningham's rooms or at least that he
was a witness die had been in the
apartment. Yet he had withheld the
fact when he had been questioned by
the police. Had Hull bribed him to
keep quiet?
The cattleman found Shibo watering
the lawn of the parking in front of
the Paradox. According to his cus-
tom, he plunged abruptly into what
he wanted to say. Be had discovered
that if a man is not given time to
frame a defense, he is likely to give
away something he had intended to
conceal.
"Shibo, why did you hide from the
police that Mr. Hull was in my uncle's
rooms the night he was killed?"
The janitor shot one slant, startled
glance at Kirby before the mask of
impassivity wiped out expression from
his eyes.
"You know heap lot about every-
thing. You busy busy all like honey-
bee. Me, I just janitor—mind own
business."
"I wonder, now." Kirby's level gaze
took the man in carefully. Was he'as
simple as he wanted to appear?
"No talk when not have anything
to tell." Shiba moved the sprinkler to
another part of the lawn.
Kirby followed him. He had a ca-
pacity for patience.
•Did Mr. Hull ask you not to tell
about him?"
Shibo said nothing, but he said it
with indignant eloquence.
"Did he give you money not to tell?
I don't want to go to the police with
this if I can help it, Shibo. Better
come through to me."
"You go police an' say I know who
make Mr. Cunningham dead?"
"If I have to."
The janitor had no more remarks.

stubborn silence. For nearly half an
hour Kirby stayed by his side. The
cattleman asked questions. He sug-
gested that, of course, the police would
soon find out the facts after he went

brief and implied that shortly Shibo

he murmured to himself. "I reckon

He was not sorry that Mrs. Hull

CRANBERRY GAMES.
Cranberries are as good in games as
in sauce. Be sure to use firm red
berries for the following games.
First a large glass of cranberries
is shown. Each child makes a guess
as to how many berries are in the
glass. The one who guesses nearest
to the right number becomes leader
for the next game.
The children sit in a row with their co
hands laid together in an upright po-
sition on their laps. The leader, with
a cranberry between her hands, which
are laid together just as those of the
other players, goes down the line slip-
ping her .hands between those of the
other children. Into one pair of hands
she slips the cranberry. When she
has finished she says, "Cranberry,
cranberry, who has the cranberry?"
The child who was farthest from the
right count in the guessing game must
guess who has the berry.
For another jolly game line the
children up in tido rows having equal
numbers in each. Give the first child
in each row a handful of cranberries.
At a given signal each.child passes

"You can't prove thatl" Jack cried,

Kirby smiled, easily and confidently.

go. Jack also got up, white to the lips.

had arrived at the Jones' household.
Little Mary was rather fed -up with all
the attention that was lavished on the
newcomer—attention which had, up

"Does the baby talk yet, Mary?"
asked one of the friends of the family.
"No," replied the baby's disgusted
sister, "the baby doesn't need to talk."
"Doesn't need to talk," exclaimed
the friend, astonished.
