den in her suitcase. She tries to
tell Bill. He cuts her off with,
"Bill Yardley's shoes fit the prints
found by the police."
CHAPTER XI
"Oh, Bill no!" Christine cried
miserably.
"And then sone." His voice was
a little grin. "But at any rate, I'm
still in circulation, And I've got a
little sleuthing of my own to do
while I ant. I'n be sewed up tight
till noon; but how about meeting
• me for lunch about 12:30 at the
sante place where we ate last
night?"
Christine said, "I11 be there,
Bill," and hung up, trembling a
good deal.
But Inspector Parsons, she re-
membered after a moment, did not
arrest people for murder until he.
was sure they would stay arrested.

Spector Parsons herself, as soon as
site could find him,
Just outside her own front door
she had to snub three reporters.
She was not' sufficiently experi-
enced to dodge the news cameras.
* 4 *
She was admitted to Inspector
Parson's office at once. He looked,
Christine thought, as if he had
hardly slept; but he was as cool
and alert as ever.
"I've come to tell you," she be-
gan, "that I've been a good deal of
a fool."
"You — and several others," he
agreed pleasantly.
"Last evening," Christine hur-
ried on, "I went to a public read-
ing by a clairvoyant called Chan-
dra--"
"And he told you," the inspec-
tor put in with a tired smile,
"among a lot of other things you
didn't believe any one but your-
self could possibly know, that yoti
were going uhder alt assumed
name?"
"Why — yes," Christine ad-
mitted; "but he also told me some-
thing that may surprise even you,
Inspector — that someone had dis-
turbed my things at the Crest-
view."
"So you Nave called to tell me
that it was Chandra's dagger you
,found so opportunely last night.
.. A little late, isn't it?"
After a startled breath, Chris-
tine asked, "How do you know
that it is his?"
* * 4
"Practically every one in Surf
City has seen that dagger. You
drew his picture yesterday. Art-
ists don't miss picturesque details
like that... 1 wonder if you
would be interested if I told you
that two hours after that merger
between Amalgamated and Na-
tional Went through yesterday,
this Chandra sold a piece of land
he's been paying ruinous taxes on
for years to the reorganized com-
pany, for a new plant they're
plan ning."
"Then you've arrested him?"
"Not yet That dagger was
a little too obviously a planted
clew."
Christine thought in sudden pa-
nic, Can he imagine that I put it
there?
"It didn't occur to you, I sup-
pose," she said, "that as shrewd- a
man as Ile might have planted it
himself- guessing that the police
would reason that Way?"
"It did," the inspector told her
wearily, "even_ after one medical
officer told us that Mrs, Talbert
was not stabbed in that booth at
all, but was brought there after
the murder."
"Ohl" Christine said blankly.
Then she rushed on in her eager-
ness to get on with her own er-
rand, "But what I really came to
tell you is that, when I did. exam-
ine my things, T found these hid-
den away among them."
* * 4 She pushed the envelope across
his desk,
He opened it, riffled through the
contents; then looked up, a frown
between his brows.
"And;" Christine finished hast-
ily, "I haven't any idea who put
_ them there or whose they are, if
that's what you're going to ash:,"
He glanced from her to the pa-
pers -and back again with such
cool, mirthless amusement that
Christine thought in sudden panic,
He's found something I missed.
should have looked more care-
fully•
"You mean," the inspector de •

manded, "that you don't know that
these bonds were the: property of
your cousin?" -
it's Victory Canning Time Again!
There's one rule about canning
that you'd best remember when
you put up those jar of fruits and
vegetables: "Two hours from gar-
den to kettle." That means using..
only foods at the peak of con-
dition, for you get out of your can
only what you put into it.
If vegetables turn brown in their
jars and look unattractive as com-
pared with the fresh produce, it's
probably because of overprocessing
(overcooking) or lack of fresh
vegetables when you started can-
ning.
When you overcook thosebright
red berries, they can't possibly be
fresh looking or taste like a reason-
able facsimile of the original prod-
uct. Follow directions and cook
just long enough, and the result
will be well worth the effort,
Ripe Sour Cherry and Currant
Jelly
454 cups juice
7 cups sugar -
% bottle frust pectin
To prepare juice stem, but do
not pit, and crush about VA quarts
fully ripe cherries. Crush about 1%
quarts fully ripe currants. Combine
fruits; add 34 cup water, bring to
a boil, cover and simmer 10, min-
u*es. Place fruit in jelly bag and
squeeze out juice.. Measure sugar
and juice into a large saucepan
and mix. Bring to a boil over
the hottest fire and at once add
bottled fruit pectin, stirring con-
stantly. Then bring to 'at full,
yz
rolling- boil and boil hard min-
ute. Remove from fire, skits and
pour quickly. Paraffin while hot.
Raspberry -Cherry Conserve
3 cups cherries
3 cups red raspberries
4% cups sugar
Cook cherries in very little water
until shins are tender. Add rasp-
berries and sugar, Cook until
thick and clear. Pour into ster-
ilized jars and seal while hot.
Commercial pectin shortens the
jelly -making process considerably
and preserves the fresh fruit color
and flavor in the finished product.
Three -Fruit Preserves
2 pints raspberries
2 pints strawberries
1 to 1% pounds cherries
Equal amount of sugar by
weight, of all fruits
Combine all ingredients and •boil
2 minutes. Add l cup lemon juke
and boil 2 min-
utes longer. Re-
move from fire
and allow to cool.
When cool, pour
into sterilized
jars and seal. Al-
though the pre-
serves look thin
when you finish cooking, they will
thicken upon standing.
After a moment's blank conster-
nation, Christine shook her head
wordlessly.
"Well, now that I have told you,
does it suggest anything to you
that you had not thought of be-
fore?"
"But," Christine hazarded, "if
someone killed herfor those, why
wouldn't he keep them?"
"There are other reasons for
murder besides robbery, Miss
Thorenson, Suppose Mrs. Talbert
was not killed for the bonds after
all, but from any one of a num-
ber of other motives,., In such
a case, mightn't the guilty person
reason that the smart thing to do
was to make it seem as if she had
been robbed by someone else —
especially someone who might be
thought to have a motive for the
murder ,. You, for instance,
Miss Thorenson — with a fortune
at stake if that -will is authentic."
* * *
When she only stared at him
without speaking, he went on, "Or
supposing the bonds do explain
Mrs. Talberth's death, perhaps the
mtirderer thought that, after the
first shooting was over, he could
get them front you as easily as he
left them with you... Perhaps,"
he added softly, "it was even some-
one who counted on your keeping
them safely for him."
"You — you can't believe that,
Inspector Parsons."
"Frankly, I don't know what i
:believe except that finding these
has completely changed the com-
plexion of this whole business. 1
have been supposing that your
cousin's death was tied up . with
her opposition to the Anialgamat-

gins to look as if it had only been
very neatly tinted to look that way •

except what's really back .of it...
Have you read the papers, Miss
Thorenson?"
"Yes," Christine told him, dread-
ing she hardly knew what. "That
is - ., the extra, after I left here
early this morning."
"Then perhaps you saw that
your cousin's shoes had been
found to fit one pair of those foot-
prints leading from that stranded
rowboat toward the booth where
she was found?"
"Yes"
And Bill's shoes, Christine was
remembering, fitted the other pair,
"That story happened to be true,
except," Inspector Parsons was
going on, "that they weren't made
by the shoes she. was wearing; but
another pair, identical in meas-
urement with one slightly broken
heel. We haven't found those
shoes yet; but we are reasonably
sure that they were taken from
your cousin's house by someone
who entered it after it was closed
the other everting — taken for the
express purpose of making that
false trail,"
"You mean that my cousin's
house has been broken into?"
"I didn't say that. It was entered
by someone who had a key."
When Christine did not speak,
he demanded, "Do you happen to
have a key'to Mrs. Talbert's house,
Miss Thorenson?"
Christine moistened her dry lips
and said, "No," hating the wood-
enness of her own voice as she
spoke.

When she began to thinkhe
would never go on, he asked, "Do
you know anyone else who has
one?"
"No," Christine said woodenly
again.
Talien she thought, But of course
— Jasper.
The inspector shrugged and de-
manded with one of his disconcert-
ing shifts of subject, "Was your
cousin's vision particularly poor?"
"I don't know.. r Of course she
wore glasses."
"Do you know who her optician
was?„
"I don't, but Jasper would, of
course. 3e knows more about her
affairs than anyone else."
"Jasper?" He glanced at some
notes on his desk. "Oh, yes, That's
the name of ItIts. Talbert's butler.
