Shrugged at the unconventionality of
3t all, then made a hasty survey of the
place. At one end was a sort of closet
ox clothes press. "Snooping?" He
nodded as he opened the door.
Inside bung a nondescript array of
old clothes, In the back earner, on'the
floor where it had been thrown, lay a
girl's cloth hat. He picked it up,
smoothed it out, then with a suppress-
ed "Ouch!" .drew his hand away and
'loosened a pin caught in its •folds.

whispered to Ruth, recalling her moth-

by a laugh --then an unmistakable ra-

Disconcerted after his ardent aten-
tion.to Vire, Glenn for once looked as
if he would have dropped through into
the hold.
Ruth glanced quickly from Glenn's
chagrin to Vita's stony face, then saw
the iiunor,

"Here's a camera, too'" was all Gar-
rick answered. He turned the camera
over, saw the number "6," then deftly
. nloaded it and .dropped the roll of
film into his Goat pocket.
There was a step on the companion-
way. Softly he closed the door, rolled
the hat tghtly and stuffed it in his hip
pocket under the tail of his coat.
The party thawed a little bit as the
ice in the shaker thawed. Finally
Garrick took advantage of 'a lull in
the conversation,
"I may as well tell you just why
we dropped in," he remarked casually,
taking the diamond clasp from his
pocket. "Is this by any chan.:e yours,

CHAPTER III.
THE 11rSTERY CRAFT.
Dick rejoined Garrick late in the
afternoon in his rooms at the Nor10-
evantuc Country Club. Garrick had
been developing the,roll of films.
"Whalt do you see there?" he asked
Dick, holding up the strip.
Dick turned toward the light and
looked carefully. "A boat. Looks.like
one of those scout cruisers built for
the government during the war."
"Ie,s ,The gB Bacchante' is is see. writ en

boy shows signs of tieing incorrigible

that we coddle our children to their

Respect for their elders should be
a cardinal rule with the children in

a boy's life more than developing the
habit of saying'; "yes sir" or "no

more than they do.

of youth in crime. statistics, I would
like to quote you the following figures,

1921 'census, when it was calculated
that there were 3,456,000 males in
Canada.

of age, ], in every 87 is a criminal.

The best time to take Aspirin is the

Why postpone relief until the pain has
reached its height? Why hesitate to
take anything so harmless?

You can always count on its quick
