The event has aroused very great interest. The hall is crowd- ed, and millions of listeners are waiting for the performance to come over the radio. Parelli makes his entrance, and rais- ing his baton suddenly collapses. Medical aid is immediately forthcom- ing, but it is obvious that the man 1s dead. In the audience are two young people, Lettice Manton and Stephen Garton. Branksome, a student is traced as Procuring some deadly poison from the University safe just before Parelll's death. "To you and me it may seem strange that she believed that this stuff that she was sent — (actually it was cur- are!) — could work any wonder for Parelli. But there are plenty of better educated people who believe in palm- ists — crystal gazers — and what not —�' he gave an expressive wave of the hand, and the Commissioner nodded M assent. General Berwick sat up and scrutin- ised the letter again. 'Has any effort been made to trace the child who used to receive 'Dl•. Hawke's letters at the Brightmouth Poste Restante?" "As to that, sir — I'm sorry to say that the Brightmouth Police with the help of our men — haven't been able to do anything, But the clerk at the Poste Restante Department is certain he'd be able to recognize the little girl again if she were brought before him. I rang up the Chief Constable this morning before I cause to see you, in the hope I might be able to tell you mare on that point. But he had no news. He said that all the reports -were not in yet. I asked him to ring up ag- ain later, about 11.30 to see if he could add anything, as I was seeing you." He looked at his watch. "It's 11.40 now. If he's going to get through. it should be soon now. I have always fwmd hint pretty prompt and punctual. May I use your 'phone sir?" "Put me through to my office. Saun- ders. Hullo — is that you, Watson?" "Yes—yes." Tho Chief Inspector's face became animated. "Yes. Is he still on the line? Not spoken yet? Put him through to the Commissioner's office —I'm there." "It seems to me," said the Commis- sioner ::that this only makes things worse, After all, the little girl found dead in the ditch near Mill Dean may not be the one at all. The Post Office roan hasn't seen the body yet, and though she's got similar clothes to those he saw on the girl who came to I the post office doesn't prove anything. These little country children are all dressed much alike. And the Chief Constable only jumps to the conclusion that the sweets in the bag in her hand were poisoned and the one she had eaten had killed her, because they are all in hysterics over this big case." Ile laughed rather bitterly. "It seems pre- posterous to me. They've all got nerve --like a lot of old women." But Taunton's tone was different. "At all events, sir, it may lead us to the clue, we've been looking for. We have had precious 1]'tic to go on up to now." 'Well," said the Coroni1flsioner, "1 roust leave you to it.

CHAPTER XI INTERLUDE Once Mrs. Brackley-Hargreaves, J.P. was well started it took a good deal- to stop here. Mrs. Manton, Lettice's mo- ther, usually considered her rather a bore. In the post-mortems which fol- lowed every rubber of bridge played by the Shallow Bridge Club, no voice was ever more persistent, no argument any more decisive than that of the woman magistrate. She was much addicted to "good works" — so long — that was -- as the performing of them caused her no personal incouvenience. Mrs. Brackley-Hargreaves had a car —a large and luxurious Daimler sal- oon. But she was of the old school and kept a well-turned out carriage and a pair as well. In this she would pay her calls of state in the neighbourhood; in this she would often drive to the week- ly meetings of the Bridge Club. In her heart of hearts Mrs. Brackley Hargreaves loved nothing so much as the chance of exercising her judicial functions given her by her appoint- ment as a Justice -of the Peace for the County. But a listener to ber remarks this morning to Mrs. Manton might have been deceived. "Of course my clear, I ought not to complain; T don't complain, T hope. One should never complain of one's duty. But you really cannot conceive how tiring it is — how much it can take out of one when one sits trying eases in the Police Court," Those Exits ! A.person can tell a man's nation- ality by the way he leaves a hotel room: An Englishman swaggers out as if he owns it. An Irishman staggers' out as if he doesn't care who owns it. A Welshman loks to see if he has Ieft anything behind. A Scotchinan looks to see if any- one else has left anything behind. And an American or Canadian makes sure that he has left a mess behind. • Mrs. Brackley-Ilargreaves sighed. Mrs. Manton was glad that she was in no danger of appearing before her vi- sitor in her official capacity. "I can quite understand; but you do not have to go so very often, do you?" Mrs. Manton did not intend this for a shaft of sarcasm, but the Justice of the Peace winced all the same. In ac- tual fact she never did trouble to at- tend the weekly sitting of the Court unless she chanced to have some in- terest in any of the cases to come be- fore the Bench. She would, to do her justice, have argued that regular at- tendance on her part was not neces- sary. Were there not a dozen or more Magistrates equally qualified to sit? Should not the heavy civic burden be equally shared?

"'here's a Christie Biscuit for every taste" Delicate Oeratlill Proves Success Montreal Doctor Relates De- tails of Case; Tip of Nose Left Several Miles From Hospital. MONTREAL.—The tip of a boy's nose, once separated from its owner by several miles, is back in place, "perfectly normal looking except for minor scars," Dr. J. N. Roy,'. plastic surgeon, recounted. The doctor, plastic surgeon at Notre Dame Hospital and professor at the University of Montreal, told how he performed the strange op-.{ enation two years ago 'when the youngster sliced off the end of his nose on a broken headlight. Parents of the boy met him rush- ing into the house, holding his nose. End of the nose was still there but when the boy removed his hand it fell away. The ]ad was rushed to hospital. Dr. Roy decided little could be done without the other section of the nose and sent the father home for it. It was found on the sitting room carpet. The boy was placed under an an- aesthetic while the amputated sec- tion of his nose was sterilized and "boiled" in a tepid physiological serum until three hours after the accident. "I made a last esepsy of the wound, and the tip of the nose, well dried, was carefully coated and sut- ured with silk by means of small conjunctival needles," said Dr. Roy, "As there was no loss of cutaneous substance, 1 succeeded in re-estab- lishing the anatomy of this organ. "In order to better stabilize this tip of the nose and at the same time to increase its vitality, I placed a splint in copper, fashioned for the occasion. The splint was retained by bands of adhesive tape, applied transversely to the nasal appendix. "In the process of time I had the satisfaction to see the tip of the nose come to life again." The question of succession duty- free bonds will undergo a "searching examination". ve der Whether the"Fain" Remedy You Use is SAFE?
