' Inspector Haynes 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 u 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- Oher andarton, of the !Foreign Office, a eall n ekeenly interested in the solving of the crime. Sergeant Perkins toyed uncoln- efortably with his coffee spoon. He ;couldn't give the real reason for his !precipitate move, though he wasn't iso obtuse as not to see that the other had probably guessed it al- $ady. There weren't many chances for a police officer at Mill 'Dean to Guess But Whether the "Pain" Remedy You Use is SAFE.?

Ile will tell you that before the discovery of ''Aspirin" most "pain" remedies were advised against by physicians as bad for the stomach and. often, for the heart. Which is food for thought it you seek quick, safe relief. Scientists rate "Aspirin" among the lastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and the pains of rheumatism, neuritis and neural- gia. And the experience of millions of users has proved 1t saje for the average person to use regularly. in your own interest remember this.

And now that the chance had .cropped up for him murder full-dressnux areal to initiate case, he did not want to lose it, or any of the credit due for the prompt taking of the early steps. And that was really why he had made up his mind to take the matter into his,.,own hands and risk it. All that the big people in the Brightmouth force would see would be just its weak points. They were used to dealing with much bigger cases than usually came the way of the man in° charge of Mill Dean. After all they didn't, couldn't, know the village .people as he did himself. What seemed improbable—nnpussi- ble—to them might seem just the reverse to him. And he felt pretty sure that the majority of the Mill'' Dean bench would agree with him. He was really rather in the state of not being able to see the wood for the trees. His suppositions might be alI right for Local comprehension, for the Mill Dean's J.P.'s. What he could not see, and did not want to see, was that it was only hard facts and convincing evidence which could ulimately • influence the minds of a strange Judge and a strange jury who would try the case if it were sent to the Assizes. "It's true," said the Sergeant, slowly, "that Saxby was the first person to report the finding of Mol- lie Crowther's body in the ditch, not far from the forge at Shallow; that was closed seeing it was Saturday afternoon, and the blacksmith over in Brightm.outh. But he didn't do it till Jack Barnes passed him on the road, And it was Barnes who went and told Constable Jones, svho reported to me. "How long had Tom Saxby been there? Not many people pass up Parson's Lane on a winter afternoon —when Tack calve up with him? It's not the same as if he'd gone running to the station to report he'd found a dead body. The first man he tells is a fellow who happens to pass him on the road—near the end of the lane, which was so narrow that he'd hardly help being reco- gnised." The Sergeant paused to see the effect of his words on the Chief Constable. Colonel Evesham's atti- tude evinced no special interest. In truth he had no especial interest in what the Sergeant had been say- ing. "But that is not all, sir," went on the Sergeant, lowering his voice. He clearly wished to make an im- pression by his next words. Any- one Perkins one who knew ei sla better did Colonel Evesham might have suspected that he was about to play a trump card. "1 had to search Saxby, of course, as he was to be detained in the cell that night. And in one of his pockets I found a gummed -up envelope --amongst a lot of other paper—a newspaper and so on—with some crumbs." He opened a drawer in an old- fashioned Victorian escritoire be- hind him and brought out a small cardboard stationery box .which he carefully opened and placed before the Chief Constable.

(To be continued) Glands May Cause Child To Tell Lies CLEVELAND—If your child de- liberately tells lies, don't always blame it on his morals. It may be his glands. Dr. Henry C. Schumacher, director of the Child Guidance Clinic, said in his annual report that glandular disturbances have definite reactions in personality and behavior problems among children. But the glands, Dr. Schumacher explained, are only one of many rear sons for a child's aptitude to "tell stories." It may be that the child is influenced by home environment or that, overplaeed in school, he finds it necessary to resort to cheating to get by.

New fleet orders have just been issued, regarding the procedure in drinking the Ring's toast—that it shall be drunk sitting except when the National Anthem is played, when it shall be drunk standing. The custom is said to have originated in the days of the old "wooden walls," when there was insufficient head rooin for a man to stand between decks. An interest- ing survival of ancient custom. By coincidence, shortly after we had read the new order, The Sun - Times was drawn into an argument on the correct procedure at ordin- ary bauquests -- whether the toast should be drunk before or after the National Anthem. Sometimes it is done one way, sometimes the other. For the information of those who may be in doubt, Army Regulations —which govern in the absence of any other definite ruling—prescribe the procedure as follows: Th3 chairman, rising, calls on the company with the words, "Gentle- men," (if ladies are present, Ladies and gentlemen), "the Ring." The National Anthem is played or sung; then all repeat, "The Ring," and the toast is drunk. (We might mention that to smoke before the toast to His Majesty is prohibited in military and naval gatherings and extremely bad. form in others.) Another point worth mentioning is the wording of the Anthem. The correct wording is: God saw our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save our King! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over US, God save the Ring! The mistake is made in the last line which so many render, , Gad save our Ring!" It may be quite true that we Canadians consider Ring Edward VIII our King ' in a more intimate way than we have considered his predecessors; but no platter how we may feel that in a special sense he belongs to us. in the National Anthem he is still "the" Mag.
