stDrOPSIS
Signor Parelli of Milan, famous com-
poser, collapses and dies while he is
conga ting his own symphony at the
Mico s
Hall, London. At the inquest it
is disclosed that a rare poison, curare,
caused the death.
Inspector i-iaynes receives a. call from
Oxford stating that a supply of curare
has been stolen. •
in • an up -country bungalow, in West
Africa District Commissioner Westcott
receives a package of strings for his
'cello—he opens the package and a few
minutes later collapses—dead.
The theft of the curare is confessed
by an Oxford student, Branksome, who
hands it over to a Dr. Hawkes, who
'believes in. deadening pain of animals
used for vivisection.
Lettice Manton, her mother, grand-
mother and Hephen Garton, of the
.Foreign Office, are all keenly interested
in the solving of the Crime,'
She paused for breath, Mrs. Manton
was fully awake by now, and obvious-
ly greatly moved,
"But my dear — if she was only
wounded — why is Mrs. Brackley-Har-
greaves going to the Police Court? I
The distinguished visitor was ab-
out to speak. But Mrs. Manton fore-
stalled her. She knew her well enough
to be quite sure that she would not
willingly let slip of chance of empha-
sising the importance of her own pos-
ition, of making it quite plain that she
was an her way to exercise one of the
gravest and most serious duties that
can fall to the lot of a magistrate —
to be one of the Bench sitting to hold
an investigation into the case of mur-
der. She knew, too, that Mrs. Brack -
ley -Hargreaves with all her weighty
and pompous manner, was a little bit
slow in the uptake, and might not,
unless some very pronounced hint
was thrown out, gather that she was
not expected to say any more on the
natter.
"Mrs. Hargreaves, as a magistrate,
has to go and help at an enquiry into
the cause of the accident. If it was the
fault of the• driver, it may mean that
he will have to be punished later on,"
The explanation thus .given sound-
ed plausible enough. If anything fur-
ther were prevented from coaling out

the old lady might be kept for some
time longer in ign'brance of the death
of her little friend, and of its 'very
sinister circumstances.
Luckily Mrs. Brackley-,Hargreaves
at last grasped from the trend and the
tone of the younger Mrs. Manton's re-
marks that she was expected to re-
frain from going into further details
of the case in which she was to as-
sist.
"Yes — it's as your daughter says,"
she exclaimed at last." And now if 1
am not to keep the rest of the Bench
waiting, I really must make a start."
She took her leave and Lettico fol-
lowed h r, making a grimace at her
mother as she held open the door of
the tiny drawing room for the august
visitor's exit.
When Mrs. Manton and her mother-
in-law were alone together again, the
older woman began to speak:
"I hope, niy dear, that you aren't
i ry ing to hide anything from me. 1
know nothing of the law or of the
processes of the law; but I must ad-
mit that I am puzzled as to why Mrs.
Brackley-I-Iargreaves is taking all of
this trouble to come over to Mill Dean
just because of a slight accident to
Mollie Crowther."
The other did her hest to allay her
mother-in-law's supicions.
"1 am very sorry -- very, very sor-
ry to hear than any harm has come
to the child, She was a dear little
girl and we often used to stop and to
talk in the village when we met. I've
given her little presents fro_a time
to time — picture -book, a doll — a
penny to buy' some sweets. Though
lately I have given up that, as I hear
that her mother doesn't like her to
have sweets."
A shade of .anxiety passed over the
younger Mrs. Manton's face; but her
mother-in-law did not notice it, it
was rumoured in the village that poor
Mollie Crowther's death had been
caused by eating poisoned sweets.
Supposing, by some irony of fate, the
poor child had bought them with
some of the money actually given her
by her benefactor and friend! If any-
thing like that should chance to come
out at the enquiry, it would -certainly
have to be kept at all costs from the
old lady's ears. She had seemed more
than a little queer and strange since
the death' of 'Signor Parelii, and he
was a stranger, a man she had never
even seen. Yet she hacl been so up-
set by the news of his death that she
had developed almost a kind of melan-
cholia. And this sudden return to
composing music — writing a sort of
requiem in honour of the man she'd
so admired from afar, seemed some-
thing akin to mania, What would be
the effect on her should she by any
chance come to know that an actual
friend and acquaintance had come by
her death through her own, if inno-
cent agency? The shock which it
would cause her might have even a
more disastrous result. She was not
by any means strong and there was

always the fear than any sudden
shock might be attended by very ser-

And then Mrs. Manton had a reac-
tion; began to feel that she herself
was becoming a little disordered in
her own mind, which could build such
extraordinary fanbies on such slight
foundations,
"You see, my dear, that once these

Girl's Message
TORONTO — Thirteen - year - old

from the private secretary of Queen.
Mary, thanking her for her letter of

When Ring George died, Dora

this poem she composed herself:
TO MY BELOVED QUEEN MARY
"When I heard of the King's death
I began to weep
"For my love for him was very
deep.
"I felt in my heart I had lost a good
friend
"So unto you this blessing I send.
"May God give you health that
you'll live to see
"What„ a glorious King your son is
going to be,"
Highbrow Staff
"What do you think of Shelley?"
asked the highbrow of his friend.
"Don't you think he employes too
many metaphors?"
"Yes," said the friend, who bad
no pretensions to cleverness; "I
think he ought to give Canadian
workmen a chance sometimes."

Canada. Imports
Half Flax Seeds
NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. —
Canada imports more than one-half
of the annual flax seed requirements
of this country, Dr. 3. B. Harrington,
University of Saskatchewan cereal-
ist, stated in an address here. Can-
ada annually requires 2,000,000 bus-
hels of flax and only produces
around 660,000 bushels.
Flax growing w a s "misunder-
stood," he said, and had been un-
justly libelled" in the past. In the
United States, North Dakota alone
produces 20,000,000 bushels annual-
ly. The yearly requirement for the
United States is placed at 40,000,000
bushels.
Flax can be grown on clear land,
he said, but requires more careful
handling than other grains.
A 1.4 01Io Back
Causes Bad Posture
Two Daily Exercises Which
Will Help You to Over-
come Defects
During the past •week there have
been many requests for exercises
which will correct bad posture. Here
are two important ones which though
done only two or three times a day
for one month, will remove the hollow
from your back, make your stomach
flat and hips look a good .deal small-
er:
Lie flat on the floor with arms at
your sides and knees bent so weight
of the legs is on balls of feet. Now,
begin at the nape oi'. the neck, prase
each vertebra, except the Iast four
or five at the base, of the spinal col-
umn flat against the floor. Turn these
last four upward from the floor. As
you do so, pull your stomach in as
far as it will go. If you do it cor-
rectly
orrectly there will be absolutely no
space between the middle of your
back and the floor.
Hold the position a few seconds,
then relax, lowering the legs, Re-
peat two or three times. Thir teach-
es you correct posture. You should
stand as you were lying — base of
spinal column curved forward, hips
turned in, stomach fiat and shoulders
square. •
When you have finished, stand
about a foot away from a flat wall,
facing the middle of the room. Keep-
ing your feet together, let your neck
fall backward against the flat sur-
face, then, vertebra by vertebra, flat-
ten the entire length of your back-
bone against the wall. That is, .all
except four or five links at the base.
These should not touch at all, but
should be turned forward and up so
the center of the back will be flat.
Naturally, this pulls your stomach
in. Repeat several times. The posi-
tion your back, stomach and hips are
when you are against the wall is the
way they should be when you stand
or walk.
