• CHAPTER XII
X'RAYS
On the morning 'following Scott's
interview with 'Hobson, he awoke at
an early hour, vaguely conscious of
some, disturbing influence, though
unable to tell what had awakened him.
He.lay for a moment recalling the
events of the preceding day, then
suddenly remembered that this was
the day fixed for the funeral of Hugh
Mainwaring, None of the servants
were astir about. the house, but Scott
soon became conscious of the sound of
stealthy movemenets and subdued
voices coming through the open win-
dow, and, rising, he looked out. 'At
first he could see nothing unusual. It
was just sunrise, and the river, at a
little distance shimmering in. the gol-
den light, held him entranced by its.
•beauty. Then a slight rustling in the
shrubbery near the lake attracted his
attention, The golden shafts' of sun-
light had not yet reached that small
body of water, and it lay smooth and
unbroken as hie surface of a mirror,
so clear at that hour, that one could
easily look into its 'depts, Soddenly a
light boat shot out from ',the side near-
est the grove, breaking the smooth
surface into a thousand rippling. waves
of light. In the boat were two sten,
one of whom Scott instantly recog-
nized as the detective ; the other, who,
was rowing and had his back towards
the house, seemed to be a • stranger,
Some one concealed in the shrubbery
called to the boatmen, • whereupon
they rowed across in that direction,
stopping a few yards from shore:
Here they rested a few moments till
the surface was again smooth, when,
both men having carefully peered in-
to the depths of the little lake, the
detective proceeded to let down a
drag into the water.
"By George !" Scott ejaculated,
"the sly old fox is improving the
opportunity, while every one is asleep,
to drag the lake in search of what-
ever the coachman threw in there.
All right, my dear sir, go ahead I
But I'm somewhat interested in this
affair myself, and 1 don't intend that
you shall monopolize all the facts in
the case."
Keeping an eye on the boat, he
dressed quickly and, letting himself
out at the front entrance, he hastened
down the walk through the grove to
the edge of the lake, keeping himself
concealed among the trees. The
boat was moving slowly back and
forth, and was now in such a position
that Scott oould see the face of the
man rowing, who proved to be, as he
thought, a stranger b* the other
side, seated under the flowering
shrubs and trees bordering time lake,
was Joe, the stable -boy, watching
proceedings with intense interest.
With a smile, the young secretary fol-
lowed his example, seating himself at
the foot of an ancient elm whose
branches drooped nearly to the
ground.
"All right, Mr. Detective ! " he
said, '1 can stay as long as you. If
you fail to make a success of your
work this morning no one will be the
wiser, but in case you tied anything
1 propose to know something about it
myself,"
The sun was now shining brightly,
but the hour was yet so early that
there was little danger of any one
else appearing on the scene, especially
as it was Sunday morning.
For nearly an hour Mr. Merrick and
his companion rowed slowly back and
forth in constantly wiling circles,
meeting with no success and saying
little. Suddenly, while Scott was
watching the face of time stranger,
wondering who he might be, he heard
a low exclamation and saw that the
drag had fastened itself upon some
object at the bottonm of the lake, He
watched eagerly as they drew it to the
Ottawa, June 20.—The Cost of
Linving Branch reports to the Hon. T.
W, Crothers, Minister of Labor, as
follows, concerning food in cold stor-
age:
Reports from the cold storage
companies for June 1 indicate an
increase in quantity in store of but-
ter, eggs, pork, mutton, lamb and
fish ; and a decrease in the quantity
of cheese, beef and fowl, compared
with May 1 of this year.
As compared with June 1, 1917,
we have nore butter in store, more
beef and more fish. We have less
cheese, eggs, pork products and fowl
than a ytear ago. The most striking
comparison is in the case of beef of
which we have 11.72 per cent, more
than on June t. 1917. Since the
Purchasing Commmisson of the Allies,
is fully aware of this fact. and we
have the statement of these gentle-
men to the effect that a large pro-
portion of this stock Is already under
Contract to them, we find no grounds
for any charge of hoarding,
The most striking feature recently
in the market ,situation of storage
products has been the great rise in
the price of beef. There has been
a general rise in all beef •products
throughout the Dominion, but the
West, starting from Port Arthur and
Fort William, has suffered the worst
Naturally the consuming public has
resented the rise very much.
The Matter has been carefully in-
vestigated with the view to detecting
profiteering, and while the merchants
In some localities have apparently used
the general rise in prices to cover an
undue increase, we have not been able
to lind any evdence that the general in-
crease throughout the country was due
to unlawful aotion on the part of the
meat packers. The increase is general
throughout the whole of North America
and is fully as marked in the rase of
live cattle .as in the case of meat. On
ascertaining these facts, we night have
stopped, for this office has no jurisdict-
on over the farmer, but we have been
able to go further and have (mond that
the increased price is due entirely to
the war situation.
The amount of food commodities in
storage June 1, 1918, were: Butter,
2,251,673 pounds; cheese 2,966,997
pounds; eggs, 8,422,588 'dozen; beef
(fresh and pickled) 19,333,470 pounds
pork (fresh and pickled) 31,218,944
pounds; bacon, ham and smoked meats
54,721,221 pounds.

in This time they had not long to wait
for success. The drag was brought to
the surface, but carrying. in its clutches
an entirely different object, and' one
with which the young secretary. was
totally unfamiliar,—a somewhat rusty
revolver.
Mr.' Merrick's back was now towards
Scott, but the latter saw him take
something from his pocket which he
seemed to compare with the revol-
ver, at the, same time remarking to
the stranger, who was watching with
an appearance of great interest,—
"A. pretty good find, Jim, pretty
good I However, we'll have another
try for that box, what ever it is. It
may amount to something or it may
not, but It will do no harm to make a
trial.”
Having let down the drag once more,
he glanced at the house, then at his
watch, saying, "No signs of any one
astir ; We're all right for another
hour yet."
After a few more turns, Scott saw
then suddenly pulling in the ropes,
and once more the box appeared, rusty
and covered with slime, but stili
familiar. iie at once sprang to his
feet and sauntered carelessly down
the walk, humming a tune and watch-
ing the occupants of the boat with
an air of mild curiosity. The stran-
ger was the first to see him, and with
an expression of evident disgust gave
Merrick warning of his approach. If

did not betray it as he turned and
sodded to Scott' in tete most nonchal-

e,nce.
"You've been fishing, 1 see," said
Scott, pleasantly, "flow did you

Scott made no reply until• the de-
tective had sprung ashore ; then, as
the latter proceeded to examine the
box, leaving his companion to take
care of the boat and drag, he said,
in n low tone,—
"That is likely to Prove an impor-
tant discovery,. Mr, Merrick."
"You are familiar with, it then ?"
queried the latter.
"1 have seen it In Mr; Mainwaring's

kept the old jewels that were stolen
on the night of the murder."
Mr, Merrick whistled softly and
studied the box anew. "Well, there

FACE COVERED WITH
PIMPLES
ASHAMED TO GO OUT.
Many an otherwise beautiful and at-
tractive face is sadly marred by unsightly
pimples, blotches, flesh worms and vari-
ous other blood diseases.
Many a cheek and brow cast in the
mould of beauty have been sadly de-
faced, their attractiveness lost and their
possessor rendered unhappy for years.
Get rid of these unsightly and obnoxi-
ous skin troubles by using Burdock Blood
Bitters.
Mrs. Katherine Henry, Port Sydney,
Ont,, writes: "Two years ago my face
was so covered with pimples I was a-
shamed to go out. I tried several reme-
dies, but they were of no use. At last a
friend advised me to try Burdock Blood
Bitters. I got a bottle, and by the time
it was used I could see a difference. I
then got two more, and when I had used
thein the pimples were completely gone.

They proceeded to the stables, and,
arriving there, Scott was puzzled to
see Merrick's companion at work and
evidently Perfectly at home.
"We are going to use your room a
while, Matthews," said Merrick, care-
lessly. Then, noting the surprise on
Scott's face, he added, "This is. Matt-

1 thought you knew of his coming."
"At your service, sir," ' said Matt-

"Yesterday afternoon. He applied

door of the room they had entered,
"we will open this box as quickly as
possible. I suppose there is no key
to be found, and, if there were, the
lock is too rusty to work."
With the aid of a file and chisel
the box was soon opened. The satin
linings were somewhat water -soaked
and discolored, and the box appeared
to be empty, but on opening an inner
comgprtment there were exposed to
view a pair of odly shaped keys and a

Pe ce due a to o 1ittLL Leave of Absence.
Men Nineteen and Twenty Years of Age.
11 has come to the attention of the Government that there is a wicicspreatl
inmpression that young men of nineteen years. and thf',c' who l,cc':riit' twenty
since October 13, 1917, -as well as those who may become nineteen from time to
time and who have been or will be called upon to register under the Military
Service Act,, are to be immediately called to the colours.
This impression is quite incorrect. No date has yet been fixed for calling
upon such men to so report for duty, nor has the question been brought before
the Cabinet fol• decision. Irl view of the need of labour on the farm, it is most
unlikely that consideration will be given to the matter until after the harvest is ,
over, although of course the Government's action must be determined primarily
by the military situation.
There is no further obligation incumbent upon young men of the ages
above mentioned who have registered or who do so hereafter, until they receive
notice from the Registrars.
Harvest Leave.
Some enquiries have been received as to the possibility of granting harvest
leave to such troops as may be in the country at that time, No definite assur-
ance can be given on this point as advantage must be taken of ships as they
- become available. On the other hand, harvest leave will be given if at all
possible.
Leave of Absence on Grounds of Extreme Hardship.
.It is desired that the Regulations respecting leave of absence in eases of hard-
ship should be widely known and fully understood.. Such leave will he granted
in two cases:--- (a) where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the
man concerned is either the only son. capable of earning a livelihood, of a .father
killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas, or in training for'
such service, or under treatment after returning from overseas; or the only
remaining of two or more brothers capable of earning a livelihood (the other'
brother or brothers having been killed or disabled on service, or being presently .
in service overseas, or in training for overseas or under treatment after his or
their return from overseas); brothers married before 4th August, 1914, living in
separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted,
in determining the fact that the man is the "only" remaining son or brother;
(b) where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional circumstances such as
the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed mother, an
invalid father or other helpless dependents.
It is to be noted that in all these cases the governing factor is not hardship,
loss or suffering to the individual concerned, hut. to dthe><•a; that is, members of
his family or those depending upon' him.
Procedure to obtain leave of absence.
A simple system for dealing with these cases has been adopted. Forms of
application have been supplied to every Depot Battalion and an officer of each
battalion has been detailed whose duty it is to give them immediate attention.
The man concerned should on repotting to his unit state that he desires to apply
for leave of absence on one or more of the grounds mentioned and his application
.form will then be filled out and forwarded to Militia Headquarters, Ottawa. Ism
the meantime, if the case appears meritorious, the man will be given provisional
leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home and continue his
civil necupstion while his case is being finally disposed. of.
