Awfully glad I caught you before you left," a blithe, familiar voice called as the detective oi.ened the front door. "Is poor Lydia still here?" "Come in, Mr. Mi:es," Dundee hi- vited, searching with a puzzled frown the: round, blond face of Tracey Miles. "Yes, Lydia is still here... Why?" "Then I'm in luck, and I think Lydia is, too—poor old girl! ... You see, Dundee," Miles began to explain as he took off his new straw hat to mop his perspiring forehead, "the crowd all ganged up when our various cars reached. Shreidan Road, and by unanimous vote we elected to drive over to the Country Club for a meal in one of the small private dining rooms—to escape the question's of the morbidly curious, you know—" "Yes. . . What about it?" Dundee interrupted impatiently. "Well, 1 admit we were all pretty hungry, in spite of—well, of course we were all fond of Nita, but—" Tracey Miles blundered on, his blithe voice taking on the hush suitable to a house ix. which death had so recently occur- red. "What about Lydia?" Dundee cut him short. "I'm getting to it, old boy," Miles protested, with the injured air of an unappreciated small boy. "While we were waiting for our food, somebody said, 'Poor Lydia! What's going to become of her?' An..' somebody else said that it was harder on her—Nita'; death, 1 mean—than on anybody else, because Nita was all she had in the world, and then Lois—Lois is always practical, you know—ran away to telephone police headquarters to see "I think, Lydia, that she feared what had been done with Lydia, and exactly what happened . today fur- ' see if it would be all right for Flora der!

Either this wo- man would perjure her soul to protect her mistress' name from scar -dal, c,r she really knew nothing. "That is all of the will itself, Ly- dia," he went on fin lly, "except her command that her body be cremated without funeral services of any kind, and that nobody be allowed to accom- pany the remains to the crematory except yourself and Mrs. Peter Dun- lap, in case her death takes place in Hamilton—" "She did love Mrs. Dunlap," Lydia sobbed. "Oh, my poor little girl—" "And there is also a note for you, which I took the liberty of reading, in• which Mrs. Selim minutely describes the clothes in which she wises to ue crenated, as well as the fashion in allele her hair is to be dressed—" "Let me see it!"

"And her money, to do as you like with, if the court accepts this will for probate—as I tl-ink it will, re- gardless of the fact that it is very informal and was not witnessed." "But—she didn't have any money," Lydia protested. "Nothing but what Mrs, Dunlap paid her in advance for the work she was going to do—" "Lydia, your mistress died possess- ed of nearly $10,000! Ten thousand dollars! All of which she got right here in Hamilton! And I want you to "Lydia," .the young detective began slowly, and almost praying that he was doing the rigla; thing, "when I woke you up tonight to question you, I said that Nita her:.+e1f had just told M3 that it was she who had burned your face....

You ,lon't still think I killed her, do you?" - "No, T don't think you killed your mistress, Lydia, but I think, if you would, you could help me find out who dia," Dundee assured her gravely. "No, wait!" an he drew from his pocket the envelope inscribed: "To Be Opened in Case of My Death—Juanita.., Leigh Selim." "Do you recognize this handwriting, Lydia?" "It was wrote by her own hand," the maid answered, her voice husky with tears. "Is that the message, s' -r?" "You never saw it before?" Dundee', asked sharply. "No, no! I didn't know my poor girl was thinking about death," Lydia moaned. "I thought she was happy here. She was tickled to pieces over being taken up by all them society people, . and on the go day and night—" "Lydia, this is Mrs. Seline's last will and testament," Duneee interrupted, withdrawing the sheets slowly and un- fclding thein.

"You see, .he girls felt a little squeamish about coming back, even on an errand of mercy—" Dundee grinned. He had no doubt that Flora Miles had emphatically re- fused the possibility of another gruel- ling interview. "Why do you and Mrs. Miles want to take Lyia home with you?" be asked. "To give her a home and a job," Miles answered promptly. "She knows us, we're used to her poor old scarred face, and the youngsters, Tani and Betty, are not a bit afraid of her. In fact, Betty pats her scarred cheek and says, over and o'-er, 'Poo Lyddy! Poo Lyddy! Betty 'oyes Lyddy!' and Tam—he's 'T. A.

"You mean—?" Miles gas eed, his ruddy face turning pale. "I say, Dun- dee, it's absurd to think for a minute that good old faithfal Lydda had a thing to do with Nita's murder-" "I rather think you're right about that, Miles," Dundee interrupted, "Now will you excuse me?" He found Lydia where he had left her—in her dead mistress' bedroom.

There wee, no use, either, in torturing this woman now with his earlier conviction: that Nita Selim had lived in terror of Lydia Carr's smoldering hatred far the injury she had done her.

"Th:s is the 'me:.rage,'" Dundee said quietly, lifting the sheets again: "r I am herewith setting down my last will and testa.nent, in my own hand writing.

All things are possible to the one who believes them to be possible. When once we grasp this great truth, nothing can prevent us from rising. There are powers lying dormant with- in us which, when aroused, make pos- sible the achievement of our highest fest order, the Divine Order. It is ambitions, and the realization of our 1 possible for man to identify himself dearest hopes.

Unconsciously, through their attitude of mind, and their habit of negative thinking, they have been working towards the very thing they fear aucl wish to avoid. But those who believe that all things are possible and whose mind dwells upon the good of life instead of its evil, and who think positively and constructive- ly, close the door upon Negative ills and open a door through which good only can flow to them.

Life wants to use our hidden powers, to arouse the power that makes all things possible of achieve- ment; and which can make our life blossom like the rose. The improvement of one's life bY the ordinary methods, by strain, effort, and the use of the surface mind, is so difficult and tiring that fevv can suc- ceed by such. means. And so they have to remain as they are, hoping, longing, yet unable to realize their hopes and longings. But, by the use of the Power within, the greatest achievements become possible, with- out strain or undue effort. When in- ward powers are called upo. , all that we need for our highest expression comes to us just at the right moment. Opportunities come to us, doors open, and the so-called impossible (impos- sible only because we think it to b impossible) becomes possible of achievement. Weaknesses of will and character, indecisions and fears, all can be overcome in the same way, by anyone who believes that such achievement is possible, and who will do a little work each day in the silence of his own inner being. All the problems of life can he over- come if we believe they can be over- come, and will call upon inward Gems from Life's Scrap -book "Mind produces all action.
