When Fosdick tells him will have to wait, Mark accepts an vitation to' a. party to help Te Banks Win a bet with Archie Land Although Mark tells them his r name, Archie introduces him- as "S wart B.yian." At the party Ma meets Bur('eson, the man who sent h to prison, and Burleson's niece Pa ela Rodney. Burleson does not reco nize him; and Mark decides not to veal his identity to Pam until he fin d the real murderer. When Teddy Ba learns Mark's identity from Fosdi he tells Archie. Landon, jealous Mark's attention to Pain, hails a to directing the driver 'to Burleson's a dress. Meanwhile, Mark is at Burl son's with Pam. He tells her about t wager and confesses that he has he in prison, Suddenly he sees a lam iar object—a little jade god.

He turned it over, holding. it; close to Burleson, "Will; you tell me, when it came to you?" Burleson's hands clenched, he grew grayly white, then, suddenly that red streak ran up between his eyebrows to his hair.' The effect was ghastly. Mrs. Lynn caught Pair's -wrist in clutching fingers and whispered: "Send that man away—your uncle's going to have a fit!" Her voice was only a murmur, ,but it broke the spell that held them- staring at the jade god. d. ck of xi d- e - he en fi- Is to le They were still standing thus, Tool ing at each other, when there was th stip of an arrival in the hall, voice and therude of cold air that come from the opening of big doors, Ma looked at her questioningly; she ro ded. "It's Uncle—and Aunt Lynn." Something like triumph came int his face; he gripped the jade god one powerful hand, the other fell a his side, clenched, "You're going to ask him now?" th gill breathed. She was only vague! aware •of the thing it meant to hit but she knew that it had some dee significance. He nodded, They were standing together on th hearthrug, the light of the lamp ens a soft glow behind them, outlinin them. Mark looked like a man fro another world, powerfully .built, prim itive, a pagan in his freedom fro all the little rules and convention that made un the lives of the poepl who lived ther TI • e Burleson's nostrils quivered; his lips tightened until they were white, and the red streak was like Saint An- thony's fire across his face. "Yes" he said slowly, "I know you now!" As he spoke -he took an un- steady step forward and laid one hand upon a chair. "Then—tell me!" Mark demanded hoarsely; "help me that much now!" and he followed•the older man holding out the mocking god. Burleson turned and looked back at him. He was breathing hard; suddenly a fire leaped into his eyes, he stretch- ed out this shaking hand, seized the god and flung it with all his fort s, into the corner. It struck the edg s of the great mantel, slanted, • spu Mai like a top against the brass fend d- and fell, broken in a thousand piece on the floor.

Landon himself was no long impatient, he was glad of his chane e to order his thoughts. It seemed Ger y tain that the bird had flown.

They stood waiting .They were still waiting si- lently when Mrs. Lynn came rustling in and, behind her, a little bowed about the shoulders, looking a little older, the millionaire himself. Mrs. Lynn, seeing the two, exclaimed, "Why, Pamela, I thought you were out! Mr. Byranr, please touch that light -switch behind you, I hate. gloom! Burleson laughed a little harshly Butterflies like light," he remarked humorously, smiling at his sister.( -in- law. "Pam, I want some tea—" her aunt began, and then she stopped. She had :become abruptly aware of their at- titude, and she saw Mark's face "Why Mr. Byram." He did not seem to hear her; small courtesies were lost to him just then. He was as primitive as be had been t marching in the prisonyard with his i fellows—year after year. He walked i slowly over to the library table where f Burleson stood,' and the older man, t searching' his face in the new strong light, did not move. He seemed sue- p denly to see something in it that held him. Mark came nearer and opened t his hand. In the hollow of his palms w the jade god squatted like a toad. Bur- e leson stared at it and stared up at -the young man. He apparently linked the • Yet he was uneasy; so uneasy that he mad up his mind to see Mrs. Lynn and feel -his way, find out if she knew anything, and if Mark Grant had been there again. If he suspected any effort to hold on to his acquain- tance the would denounce the convict rather than risk his making love to Pain Rodney. Girls were peculiar. The modern girl was independent; she might carry on a correspondence with ,unknown to her re- au undesirable 'latives.• The brought made Land furious, he was still stinging from t tone of her refusal; she had ma it a little too plain that lie, Land was totally uninteresting: He was ri for mischief when the taxi drew up the house.

"My businegs here' isn't with you, but with Mr. Burleson," he answered crisply; "after, that—perhaps!" ' "Your business is with me," Lan- don panted.

No one else moved; the color deepened in Pam's face' but her hand still rested on Bur- leson's shoulder, "I've already told Miss Rodney that," said Mark, coolly; "you're a trifle late, Landon!" "No I'm not!" Landon retested with a sudden wicked intuition; "you didn't tell the truth. Mr. Burleson, this man murdered his uncle for his money. Ask Fosdick—he knows." Int THURS., APRIL, 1, 1943.

Trfss- tence of using good clean seed and the rotation of plantings apply with equal force to such a garden as to the farm. It pays to get the best seed pos- sible, and the saving of a few cents in the purchase of seed is not pro- fitable as a rule. One ounce of celery seed may produce 2,000 plants or more one ounce of tomato seed 1,500 to 2,000 plants!; and an ounce of cab- bage or cauliflower seed, 1,500 plants or more, Just as with farm crops, vegetables in the home garden should not be grown on the same .plot of ground trots of wool in Canada and at the same year after year.

DIVISION J TNEYAREURCENTIY NEEDEDFOREXPIOS/YES Wartime Prices and Trade Board has Encourage Alfalfa issued a rationing• order to ensure, as far as possible, an adequate amount to those rated as essential users. In this category are persons who depend on hunting for food, trappers, pros- pectors, members of the'R.C.M.P. and some other police forces, and persons guarzling property or livestock. Users in settled areas have to com- plete an essentiality certificate sett- ing forth for what the ammunition is' required and they are prohibited from using it for other purposes. In some cases they must obtain written appro- val of the ration board which has power to vary the quantity or disap- prove the purchase. "Authorized` purchasers" include persons requiring ammunition to pro- tect livestock, poultry or crops from predatory animals-, rodents and birds. Meal Production As a means of encouraging maxi- mum production with available mach- inery, alfalfa meal processors will be paid a subsidy of $3 per ton, states the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. The subsidy will be paid on meal ground and ready for use. The ceiling prices of alfalfa are to be maintain- ed. This means that, although the pro- cessors of alfalfa meal will be encour- aged by the payment of the subsidy to produce more, feeders will not have to pay realtively more for alfalfa meal in mixed feeds.! As a result of the subsidy, it is hoped to bring into production a number of mills which recently have not been operating be- cause of somewhat unattractive re- turns.
