I -e admitted that he usually threw away or destroyed any moulds or impressions of keys as soon as the job was done and the customer satis- fied, and there was not much hope that, on this occasion, he'd kept the soap. Well, he invited Braintree into his workshop, and they made a thor- ough search. They did find a piece of soap, and ib was Primrose—and it had got the impression of a key in it —and stere it is. And I think we can say definitely that the impression is that of a key of the right type of Safe, though the print, is not good eno>tgh to bring out the maker's make clearly enough to read." There was a note of triumph in the Chief Conntable's voice as he came to the end of his story. "You've helped a whole lot, Foster. It's the first really definite clue we've been able to follow up with any sort of concrete results." "But there's one more thing," Fost- er continued. "Trimlet was able to remember the appearance of the per- son who brought him the soap im- pression. He was a man — a young man—who looked and spoke as if he were probably an undergraduate — a student anyway. We made enquiries then through the University and had an interview with Professor Pratt. And now"—lie got up and went to the door, "I'll introduce you to Mr. Ced- ric Branksome himself." "Pailpott!" There was an answering cry from the passage beyond. Taunton sat up; this was a denoue- ment he had not expected. It was a� strange figure that made its appearance in the Chief Con- stable's office. "Come in Mr. Branlchome and sit down," said Foster cheerfully. "There is nothing to be nervous about. Let me introduce you to Chief Inspector Taunto of Scotland Yard." Mr. Cedric Branksccnte had looked nervous when he entered the room, and the Chief Constable's introduc- tion did nothing to restore his equan- imity. He was a tall, pale young man, with lank. dark hair, and a pro- nounced stoop, and wore large horn - rimmed spectacles. His nose was thin, long and rather red. He peered round him in a myopic way, and his hands were trembling with fright. "Pleased to meet you," said Olin - ton; his voice was bluff but kindly. "Do sit down Mr. franksome," said Foster. 11• t+l. ferthcam. ung, but It is obvious that the man is dead. 1n the audience are two Young People, Lettlee Manton and Stephen Garton, 'Braintree pressed the man further. "1 get little sympathy," complains my correspondent, "1 aim always trying myself to be quiet and con- siderate of other people's comfort, and would never think of entering a house late at night, tramping through a hall and slamming doors. I consider it very bad manners and a moan and selfish thing to do." In that last sentence I feel. my- self almost in agreement with her. If folks would only think about these seeming little things, they would be more considerate of others. But they dont think and thought- lessness is very often the parent of unconscious selfishness. We live in a world of noise. In- deed, there is so Hutch noise in the world that civic, and other public bodies here and there feel that something ought to be done about it. In New York City, for example, a movement to eliminate noise was sponsored recently by the Mayor of that city. But there seems to be so little that can really be done o elim- inate noise. We cannot expect or hope to eliminate it altogether. My own opinion is that, if we could only get men and women to take a little more thought for others, that would go a long way. There is so much noise that will always be necessary that we should try to eliminate all that is unnecessary. After all, if we must be out late at night, we need not let the whole neighborhood know about it. And if we do want to listen to some late programme on the radio, there is surely no need to keep the radio at full blast. We can tone it down, and radios are so well constructed today that it is an easy natter to tone down so that the programme may be heard quite clearly within the room without disurbing anyone without. If only we would try to be a little more considerate of the other fellow, haw .much more pleas- ant life would be for all of us. On the other hand, I feel that per- , haps my correspondent is somewhat sensitive. It may be that she is of a -nervous temperament and easily disturbed. Or, perhaps she is among so much noise during the day that she longs for the quiet of the even- ing and night and, when she does not get that quiet, she feels that more disturbed. There are many who will know how to sympathise with her. I believe we can school ourselves to such a pitch that these things will not trouble us. For ex- ample, if one should happen to be Mr, Branksuine accepted the invi- nation, but he gave the impression that he would not have been surpris- • ed' had the c,;tair seat exploded. sud- denly beneath him, or had a pair of hapaceffs materialized in the air be- fore him. "Well, I've heard what you've got tc: say; of course, But I think Mr, Taunton would be glad to hear it from your own lips. if it's not giv- ing you too inuch trouble." The wretebed young man stared from one to the other of the two mon whom he obviously looked upon ea his tormentors, "It was I who had the copy of Pro- fessor Pratt's key made. It was I who borruwed Mr. Itowlandson's own key of tiro safe, and it was I who Wok the poison from the laboratory." The witness grew more and more nervous and terrified. He peered around through hie huge spectacles fust at Taunton and then at Foster, as it trying to divine the effect of his aliening on each. But they were men of experience. The only sort of emotion that they displayed was a polltr, inten'cst. I sueenee I've done something very vies:; ---something I oughu't to have done ----something, well — that you'll think very silly." he ended ra- ther lamely. Taunton looked across at Foster. "P,efore we go any further with this matter there's a point we will have to discuss. Do you propose to charge Mr. Braulteenne with nett?" The unfortunate visitor sat up as if he hacl been shot. "Look here," said Foster quickly. "I don't want to alarm you. At pre- sent we'll consider that you've come here in the capacity of witness. But you are, as you see, laying yourself open to a .cetarge of theft. And it is now my duty to warn you that every- thing you say will be taken down in writing and that it may, if necessary, be used against you." The Chief Constable had already made a few sketchy notes on a piece of paper torn from a pad before him. He now drew a sheet of foolscap from a stationery rack on the desk and prepared to write at greater length. To the officer's surprise Mr. Bank - some showed signs of becoming more cheerful—more at his ease. His fea- tures widened into what the two men imagined to be an attempt at a smile. "Oh, I suppose than I can, ought, really, to be charged with theft. I'm no lawyer, I've never studied it. What I want to be is a doctor." It struct Taunton and Foster that the young man was not likely to suc- ceed in his profession if success de- pended on a good bedside manner.

The hero of "Go West, Young Man" labours on rail- way section crews, sells sills stock- ings from door to door in Winnipeg, works on construction gangs and mines in Ontario. He often starves, is often down but never out, and in the end achieves contentment in a modest job, with a happy, contented wife as his partner. Many of the in- cidents come from the personal ex- perience of the author — and many Old Country folk will recognize some of the difficulties that they too encountered during the first years of taking net in a new country.

"GO WEST YOUNG MAN" — by Bernard J. Farmer (Thomas Nelson and Sons, Ltd.) $2.00 is the story of one Peter Cochrane, ambitious young Briton emigrating to Canada. There have been few good novels about Canadians who comprise sev- enty per cent, of the population — the farm and rural people and the mass of "Shirtsleeve" city workers. .Admittedly a number of books have been written about farm life— although real farmers often have some difficulty in recognizing them- selves. This new novel by Bernard J. Farmer should be greeted with a warm welcome as it shows accurate- ly, yet poignantly in simple, unpre- tentious prose, the experiences of a young man, fresh from the Old Country, tossed into the whirlpool of "unskilled labour" before he is able to land on his feet. Ontario readers will find it en- lightening — the manner in which the unskilled workman obtains a reading, it is possible to master the art of concentration to the extent that he can concentrate on his read- ing to the exclusion of all else. I know this to be true. Or, if it is a case of trying to get to sleep, one can escape from the disturbing noises by suggesting to oneself the need for sleep and the ability to sleep. Sleep can be induced in spite of noise. Granted, it is not easy. One has to go in for some mental training and to learn the art of self- mastery. My advice to this correspondent is to try and not give way to her feelings. Perhaps her physician would prescribe a nerve tonic, but I rather think that what she should do is try to find a nice quiet locality in which to live and to go in for � some kind of mental training that will enable her to adjust herself to her surrounding environment. Of course, one could always recommend living in the country, but even the ' countryside is not always free from noise these days, end the necessity of having to earn a living has to be considered. I'm afraid that, apart. front schooling oneself to paying no attention to noise, this is a probleln which, for many people, will never he solved until we all learn to take thought for the other fellow. * s '1 NOTE: The writer of this column is a trained 'psychologist and an au, thor of several works.

Stevenson And His Beloved Nonny Many a man has cherished the tender memories of his old nurse. In the instance of Robert Louis Stevenson, it remains a moot point whether his love for his old nurse "Gummy" (Alison Cunningham) did not pass that deep natural affection for his own mother. The auction room may be held to give supporting evidence. Recently at Sotheby's (London) Stevenson's "Child's Garden of Verse," 1885 (de- dicated to his old nanny), which he had inscribed 'to his mother, "M. 1. Stevenson from her loving son, the author," was purchased by Mr. Ern- est Maggs for 330 pounds. A very good price indeed, but let it be re- called that, in the Kern sale, New York, six years ago, the copy which Stevenson had given to his old nurse realized 1,700 pounds. It must be borne in mind, how- ever, that this well -thumbed copy was accompanied by a wonderful let- ter, in which Stevenson explained to his mother why he had dedicated the volume of his childhood's verses to his old nurse. The "family" had been a bit annoyed by this preference. Let Stevenson's letter speak for it- self: "I stick to what I said about Cum - my, which was that she was the per- son entitled to the dedication. If I said she was the only person who would understand, it was a fashion of speaking; but to Cummy the de- dication is due because she had the most troubles and the least thanks. As for Auntie, she is my aunt, and I am often decently civil to her; four advantages that could not be alleged for Gummy. That is why I chose Cunvny; and that is why I think I chose right." It was the great-niece (living in Alberta) of Mrs. Stevenson who sent the presentation copy to Sotheby's, along with 27 others given to Stev- enson's mother, which totalled 2,221 pounds. "Treasure Island," 1883, proved to be the highest. This was inscribed, "from her afft. son. The Author," and realized 580 pounds; "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes" To be glamorous you don't neces- sarily have to be a raving beauty.. In fact, if we use some of the screen stars as examples we discover that natural beauty doesn't have much to do with the elusive quality which all women want. Many an actress has achieved glamor and fascination for her public by emphasizing what Might be called a bad feature or simply by playing up one good point. First of all, keep in mind that you have to stand out vividly as an in- dividual. You must be you — no copyhat tricks. Just because your best friend with the too -high fore- head has emphasized it and made herself look fascinating, don't go ahead and point up your own high forehead unless you are perfectly sure the effect will enhance -your allure. The best idea, of course, is to study your features—the bad ones as well as the good, Then learn how to make the most of the nicest one, If you have unusually large eyes, but a rather bad chin line, use a touch of mascara on your lashes and keep rouge well up on your cheek bones. If on the other hand, you have a good mouth, but just average eyes, omit the mascara, use plenty of lip- stick and place rohge just below cheek bones. Women with beautiful hair should go in for attention -getting coiffures. Thick, luxurious locks blend them- selves well to halo braid effects. The beauty of a handsomely shaped head is emphasized by a plain, brushed - backward hairdress. "It was not Germany which lost the last war; it was Europe.

Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well - Being to Unknown Preparations 1CPEFORE you take any prepare- " you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it -- in comparison with "Aspirin." \Ve say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called "pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods pet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and safe for the average person to take regularly.
