BY ELINORE COWAN STONE Last Week: Newspapers brand Christine "Mystery Girl" of the Talbert rnurder. At her room she finds a sheaf of $1000 bonds hid- 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 some." His voice was a little grim. "But at any rate, I'm still in circulation. And I've got a little sleuthing of my own to do while I am. I'll be sewed up tight till noon; but how about meeting MC for lunch about 12:30 at the same place where we ate last night?" Christine said, "I'll 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. ...And she had business with In - I • 859 atelgirkezict Simple crochet that pays big div- idends in beauty—these pineapple - design doilies.

Toronto ISSUE 28—h4r spector Parsons herself, as soon as she 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. * * * 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 you were going under an 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 have 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?" * * * "Practically every one in Surf City has seen that dagger. You drew his picture yesterday. Art- ists don't miss picturesque details like that... I 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 planning." "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? ax.., "It didn't occur to you, I sup- pose," she said, "that as shrewd a man as he night have planted it himself — guessing that the police would reason that way?" "It did," the inspector told her wearily, "even after our medical officer told us that Mrs. Talbert was not stabbed in that booth at all, but was 'brought there after the murder." "Oh!" Christine said blankly. Then she rushed on in her eager- ness to get on with her own er- rand, "But what I really carne to tell you is that, when I did exam- ine my things, I found these hid-• den away among tltent." * * * She pushed the envelope across his desk. He opened it, riffled through the contents; then looked up, a frown between his brows. ".end," Christine finished hast- ily, "1 .haven't any idea who put them there or whose they are, if that's what you're going to ask." He glanced from her to the pa- pers and back again with such cool, mirthless amusement that Christine thought in sudden panic, Idles found something I missed. I should have looked more care- fully. "You Mean," the inspector de- n andcd, "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 those bright 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.

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 her for 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 murderer thought that, after the first shouting was over, he could get them from. 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 ex ept that finding these has completely changed the com- plexion of this whole business. I have been supposing that your cousin's death was tied up with her opposition to the Amalgamat- ed -National merger. Now it be- gins to look as if it had only been very neatly timed to look that way — or planned to suggest anything You Will Enjoy Staying At The ST.

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?" 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 evening — taken for the expre$s 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 think he would never go on, he asked, "Do you know anyone else who has one?" "No," Christine said woodenly again. Then she thought, But raf course — Jaspar. 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... Of course she wore glasses." "Do you know who her optician was?" "I don't, but Jaspar would, of course. He knows more about her affairs than anyone else." "Jaspar?" He glanced at some notes on his desk. "Oh, yes.
