Going to Gee - bon's office they find the employer's body on the floor. Garbon has been murdered, And the housekeeper says that Garbon went to his office to see Tirrell. So circumstantial evidence turns toward the innocent Tirreld as the murderer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "How many people know that you are Garbon's confidential clerk?" I asked. "Hundreds, I suppose," he answer- ed dully. "How many of them are of the tem- perament that would make you : sus- pect thein capable of murder?" "How can I possibly answer that?" he retorted. I nodded. Of course, a boy like this would not be a reader of char- acter. haracter. "Do you know anyone who could imitate your voice?" I asked. • "It isn't hard to do is it?' he re- torted. The shock of the tragedy had almost stupefied hien. ' "Its extremely hard," I told him. "You've been working for Garbon several years. The person whose voice imposed upon him so that he believed it yours must have been an excellent mimic," A light flickered in his eyes.

Things were going splendidly with him in Greece when he took it into his head to interfere with women's skirts. Short skirts must go, said he; but it was the General who went. Women do not vote in Greece, but from Aspasia and Phryne they have been famous for indirect influence. How different the experience of Kemal Pasha! Just fifteen years ago the women of Turkey began their agi- tation against the veil. Lifting the veil was then a penal offense. Slowly but surely the reform made itself felt until now Kemal Pasha has practi- cally abolished the veil, in some cities at least. In Constantinople and Angora women to -day dress as do the women of New York, London and Paris. .A. little more darkening around the eyes, per- haps, and with a thin scarf wound judiciously about their heads, some- times with a hat, sometimes without, 'but altogether in the European way. Kemal Pasha might not have been so successful in other things had he not advocated emancipation from the veil. Queen Souryia of Afghanistant has done much toward the withdrawal of the veil. Her triumphal tour in Occi- dental dress throughout Europe was a practical object -lesson. The reactionary measures against dress in Italy, Brittany, Exeter, Greece, Deauville, Geneva and else- where are contemporaneous with the contrary movment in the East. There the effort is all the other way. Eastern Women Revolt Islam does not guarantee sufficient re- spect for women with the face uncov- ered. Kemal Pasha has settled that question successfully by giving his police unlimited license for the pro- tection of women and the right to inflict the severest punishment upon offenders. The result is that in Tur- key a, man ]Hardly dares to look upon a woman in the streets, ]et alone mo- lest her.

Shaw Anxious to Meet Gene London.—There is a good chance that Gene Tanney will achieve his wish to meet George Bernard Shaw, who is taking a holiday at Antibes, France. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Antibes told Shaw of Tunney's ex- pressed desire to meet him, and the latter replied: "Tell Gene I will be delighted to meet him, in fact I had every intention of making his ac- quaintance. I will be back in London September 15, and hope to see him then." Shaw added that he did not intend to allow reporters or photographers at the meeting. "We will meet as pri- vate gentlemen," he said. "I will dis- cuss boxing and Gene will discuss literature, so we ought to get along very well." Joan, aged five, out to tea was puzzled when she saw the family bow their heads for grace. "What are you doing?" she said. "Giving thanks for our daily bread," she was told. "Don't you give thanks at home, Joan?" "No," said Joan, "we pay for our bread."

The keeper in the bird -house gives orders to the visiting public just once a day, at closing time, when he calls; "Al] out, all out!" Such conservatism on the part of the keeper was unappreciated by one of the parrots of the menagerie. Once a day seemed entirely too seldom to issue the order, the utterance of which brought such prompt and satise factory results. So one day recently`' he took it upon himself to act asj spokesman in the absence of the, keeper. In a peremptory voice he, shouted: "All out, all out. Hurry up, all+ out!" The result was a disconcerted pubs tic. It was not closing time, yet a mysterious voice was ordering them out. Surely this wee not in keeping! with the regulations. However, when; the orders came the visitors left andi not even James Coyle, head keeper at' which of the solemn -looking green birds was the guilty one. Mr. Coyle even changed his clothes to disguise his identity, but the parrot is either a modest fellow or a very wise old bird, for he says not a word. in the presence of his superiors. But once Mr. Coyle has retired to his offices comes the order: "All out, all out. Hurry up, all out!" - Man is born to suffer. By the time he is too old to be in love, he gets rheumatism.
