Bill looked at hila fpr inspiration, and, receiving it, said, "011, just let's havo one game, shall we?"

One tray or another, she knew about the secret' passage. So she must' be hurried away. • : Why? Because if she stayed and talked, she-might'make some innocent mention .of it, And Cayley did not Want any mention of it. Why again? Obviously, because the passage, or even the mere knowledge of its existence, 'night provide_e clue, "I wonder if Mark's hiding there," thought Antony; andhe won;; to sleep. CHAPTER X. a Antony came down in a very good humor to.breakfast next morning,' and found that his host`was before him. Cayley looked up from his letters and nodded. . t - "Any and of Mr. Ablett-of Mark?" said.Antony, as he poured out his coffee. "No.- The inspector wants to drag the lake this afternoon." "Ohl Is there a lake?" Thele was just the flicker of, a smile on CayIey's face, but it ,disappeared as quickly as it carne. "Well, .it's really a pond," lie said, "but it was called 'thea lake'," "By Mark,"thought Antony. Aloud he said, "What do they expect to find?" "They think that Marko- " He broke off and sh-ugged.his shoulders. "May have dawned himself, know - "It's all right,"' laughed Antony. ing that he couldn't get away? And "You can talk, it you want to. Just let's put 'em away first, though." They made their way to the shed, and while 13111 was putting the bowls away, Antony tried the Iid of the dol- ed croquet -box. As he expected, it was locked. "Now then," said 13111, as they were walking back to the house again, "I'm simply busting to know. Who was it?" "Coley." "Good Ladd Where?" "inside one of the croquet boxes." "Don't 'be al. ass." "It's quite true, Bill." He told the other what he had seer:. "But aren't we going to have a look at it?" asked Bill in great disappoint- ment. "I'm longing to explore. Aren't you?" "Tomorrow and tomorrow and to. inor row. We shall see Cayley corn- ing along ,this way directly. Besides, I want;ib,get in from the other end, if I 'can. I doubt very much if we can do It this end without giving ourselves away. . . Look, there's Cayley." • They could sees him coming along the drive toward them. When they were a little closer, they waved to him and he waved back, "I wondered where you were," he said, as he got up to them. "I rather thooght you might be along'this way. What about bed?" "Bed it is," said Antony. • Bill left the rest of the conversa- tion, as they wandered back to the house, to 'Antony. He wanted to think. There seemed to be no .doubt now that Cayley was a villain. Bill had never been familiar with a vil- lain before. It didn't seem quite fair of Cayley, somehow; he was taking rather a mean advantage. of • his Wends.

He added dryly, "From what I've read of detective stories, inspectors always do want to drag 'the pond first." "Is it deep?" "Quite deep enough," said Cayley as'he got up, On his way to the door he stopped, _ and looked at Antony, "I'm so sorry that we're keeping you here like this, but will only be until tomorrow. The inquest is tomorrow afternoon, Ifo amuse. yourself. how you like 'till then." • • "Thanks very much. I •shall really be quite all right." Antony went on with his breakfast. Perhaps it was true that inspectors liked dragging" ponds, but the ques- tion was, Did, Cayleys like having them , dragged? as Gayley . anxious about it, or quite indifferent? He certainly did not seem to be anxious, but he could hide his feelings very easily beneath that heavy, solid face. Bill came in noisily- Bill's face was an open book. Ex- citement was written till over sit. • "Well," he said eagerly, as he sat down to the 'rusiness of the areal, "what are we going to do this morn- ing?" "Not talk so loudly, for one thing;" said Antony. Bill looked about him 'apprehensive- ly. Was Cayley under.the table,'for example? After last night one never knew. "Is-er-" He raised his eyebrows, "No. But one doesn't want to shout. One should_ modulate 'the voice, my dear William, while breathing gently from the hips.

Antony went up to his !,edroom to fetch •his pipe. It was occupied by a housemaid, and he,made a polite apology for disturbinher.

OLIVER REZZELWOOD. December 31, 1928 1 Warne ' of Rumania, Beat Themselves To Cure An, ents Vermin "Considered Lucky and Taken to New Abode, Whenever Peasants Move Turnu - Severin, Rumania, -Ru- mania is a land where 'medieval cus- toms, habits and superstitions strangely mix with modern tendencies. Weirdest of all ancient customs which still survive among•the peas- antry is the "practice of the women beating themselves when sick. They believe .their illness is due to an evil spirit having entail the body and that if they chastise themselves the spirit will depart.. When one of their chil- dren dies, they also resort to self- flagellation, believing an evil spirit has entered their body as well as that of the. child. This superstition is particularly common among the gypsies of Ru- inania. Not, infrequently the practice 'is carried so far as to cause', death or permanent disability. One Rumanian gypsy woman whom an American doc- tor recently visited was apparently about to die. She was suffering from pneumonia. The ,,hysician found num- erous bruises all over her chest, which had seriously aggravated her condi- tion. Upon being questioned she ad- mitted the bruises were dile to a beat- ing she had Liven herself because one of her eight children had died. Other beliefs among 'the Rumanian peasantry are equally strange .to Canadians. For instance, it is con- sidered good Iuck to have vermin in the house and 'on one's person. In fact, there is a Rumanian proverb that no living creature is without lice, It is • considered unlucky •to kill vermin.. The simple, untutored Rumanian be- lieves everything, even the lowliest insect, has a right to live, When lie moves to a new abode he usually takes.. with him some of the bedbugs. and other vermin Iron. the old house and transplants it in his new home so as "to bring good luck." The majority of the Rumanian population live in dirt -floored huts. made of woven branches and plaster- ed with mud. Humans and pigs, cat- tle and poultry, all sleep n the same room, In winter the het of the cow's. body is depended upon to keep tri children warm. The men and the women sew en their clothes for the winter, in order to keep al; the cold„ removing their garments only with the advent of summer. Among the masses, bathtubs are almost unknown. fi+ MEAN INDEED. "You say Jack's father is miserably. mean." "Yes, so mean he wouldn't avow give Jack' a liberal education."
