The thing that terri- fied him most was that the people who were eloing it couldn't be seen. They were invisible — they didn't exist, in fait." "5,.:,t ' ' cried the passenger, start- ing from his chair. "Stop,, I implore you, or you'll drive me mad --you ]fear me, mad!" He staggered towards the station- master as he spoke, bis face livid with terror. "Why, biees my soul," said Cotton, "what dices all this mean?. You're not afraid, are you?" "Afraid! Yes, I am; you terrify me, Spare me. or my senses will leave me."

He'd been drinking enough to imagine that all the fiends in existence were after him. We saw that easily, and sent him in- to private lodgings for a day or two till he got over it. And then he went on his way with nothing worse than. a •bad headache and a vile temper." The passenger laughed uneasily as he took up a bag which he had car- ried into the office with him, and over which he had kept incessant watch. "VI ell, station -master," he said, mov- ing towards the door, "what with my experience tonight and your story I feel as if I were nothing better than a mass of nerves. I'm an awful cow- ard, and the least thing upsets me. es- pecially if it's anything belonging to another world.

"Wire•. • what do you mean?" stam- mered the passenger, • "How conies it," said the station- master, leading the way onto the plat- form, where one or two porters were Collecting parcels that had been left by the 9:15—"How comes it that, if you travelled by the train from Lon- don to Braynor, the ticket which you've given up was issued at Morn- ington?" The hag fell from the passenger's hand to the ground, and lie himself tottered against the wall and stared Wildly at his questioner. CHAPTER VI1--THE PASSENGER EXPLAIN S "Issuea�—Yorningten," repeated 'ige—p`a-Ssetigei, finding his voice at last. "Why what devilment is this? What conspiracy has been hatched against me? Who is to blatne for this outrage on an inoffensive traveller?" "If I 'might give a word of caution," said the station -master "it would be this—keep as calm as you can, and let this business rest for the present.

Perhaps it was a little absence of mind on your part. But if Mr. Bryden don't turn up —" "Well?" said the passenger eagerly. answered. Cotton. "It'll be awkward for you, that's all," answered Cotton. "Awkward!" exclaimed the passen- ger, in either real or well- assumed auger. "What do you mean? Awkward for whom?" "Well, for all of us, and you among the rest of us," replied the stationmas- ter. "But why me," demanded the travel- ler. "For the simple reason that you do know more about Mr. Dryden than anybody else." ••I know nothing except what I've stated," said the passenger. "But as Mr. Bryden's partner you must know a lot about his ways and habits that would be useful in case he disappeared." "I know very little we seldom saw each other," said the passenger, uneasily. "But what you saw on the journey, would be valuable," insisted the sta- tion -master; "and you'd certainly be called upon to give all the help you could in the matter." "llow, look here, station -master. Listen to me, and notice my voice and actions. I'm. sane — - you can see that?" Question of Temperment "Until you're proved to be other- wise, Mr. Beldon., I shall continue to think you are right in your head. Your actions certainly have been a bit curious, but that's nothing; we're all queer at times. "I'm sane," continued the passen- "I'm in my right mind. I'm cool — you'll admit that?" "You're as cool as if you were freez- ing; but a minute since you were as hot as if you were a furnace. But that isn't much. It's a question of temper- ament, and temperaments are very changeable." "I was never cooler in my life," Mr. Beldon went on. "Bear me further — I've been zealous in this matter?" "Your zeal was so noticeable at the first," said the station -master, "that when I saw yon I thought it was the drink. I don't think that. now — I do think you were just a bit funny and excited, as was quite natural." "In niy zeal and excitement, being a nervous person," continued the pas- senger. "I made a charge which per- haps I ought not to have made." "You mean against the guard?" "I do — against Mr. Chaulkley." "I thought you'd think better about that." "Mr. Chaullley is a most respect- able and excellent person," said the passenger. "I could get quite enthus- iastic in speaking his praises if the time allowed." "What a ram change is coming over this chap," Muttered the.stationmas- ter, uncomfortably, "He's the most singular mixture I ever met in my born. days, and that's saying a lot. I'm. really beginning to fr/el as if I didn't care to be cooped up close with him." "But time," pursued the traveller, "presses, and I will not do it now. You see the drift of my remarks?" "No, I don't," said Cotton, bluntly. "They mean simply this — that any charge I made against Mr. Chaulkley when he was here a few minutes ago I now withdraw in the most handsome and unreserved fashion. I was wrong ---entirely and undoubtedly wrong." "Then you never saw a black beard- ed man climb along the foot. -boards," exclaimed the cation-tnastet'."

Ween Prefer Men Employers Biot Psychologist Who Qiaestione i 520 Girls Claire* They Gave Wrong Reasons Dr. Donald A. Laird, Colgate Uei- velsity psychologist, asked 521 net - men whether they preferred] men or women bosses, and he doesn't believe the answers 520 of them made. The 520, all but one of those ask- ed, unanimously liked men bosses, and with this Dr, Laird agtrees.

Feeling Colors Replies Proof that these are the wrong reasons, said Dr. Laird, is the one- sidedness of the 520-1 vote. That, he explains, means that feelings col- ored the replies. Psychoanalysis furnishes the true answers, he holds. It goes back to the subconscious antagonism which psyehonanalysis says girls have. for their mothers. A girl is secretly jealous of her mother. • ' Women, Dr. Laird concludes, are capable bosses. But due to the fem- inine complex in the girls they su- pervise, the lady bosses have :to be superior to men in like position.

THE $TAFF OF LIFE WITH TRIMMINGS Of all the things a woman bakes from year to year, there is nothing that gives her the warm nappy glow of satisfaction which she experiences when she turas out a good-looking, fragrant, crusty loaf of bread. However, few women nowadays do make their mu bread because it e'an be purchased so cheaply and because it does take a lot of time and bother to ]Hake. But baking powder breads are in a class by themselves, there is no fuss to making then, no kneading, 11.0 waiting for the dough to rise. In fact, the ingredients can almost be tossed together, it is so simple. Here are some recipes for baking powder fruit breads. If you have any mental reservations as to how successful bak- ing powder bread can be, prepare for a surprise. These recipes give you a superlatively good bread, beautiful of texture, tender of crust and of'a mar- vellous flavour. Baking powder breads are made possib1' by fine leavening which gives a close, even -textured loaf, There are numerous uses for fruit breads. They are a happy thought for a special breakfast or luncheon party and a grand treat for the children's lunch boxes.

Canada is far behind the United Kingdom and the United States in this regard, the Federation said, noting 200 radio receiving sets in Canadian I, compared with 1'1- schools, COt p d ti00 in city schools of the Unite States and 6,500 "listening schools". in the United Kingdom. The Federation proposed the CGBC and the provinrcial edueation depart - t tents should set up a central sourish fol school broadcasting, similar to the English council.

Spinach Is Liked By Most Children Comes the day of disillusionment to those who have pietu"xed young- sters turning in disdain from a dish of spiliach, The news today is: They like it. A survey of 22,416 children be- tween the ages of six and 16 showed that spinach, with 24 per cent. of all the votes, led the list of lavor'ite vegetables on the boys' side °of the table. The girls put spinach second to corn, which topped 30 per cent, of the lists.

Spring Hats Will Be Less Extreme PARIS.—So far the spring millin ery is decidedly less extreme than it has been. Le Monnier's show fol-' lows the prevailing influence often; stressing pretty hats. Tailleur felts! are usually simple; they are brim -1 med, and the crowns are often pierc-! ed in modernistic patterns. Small sailors are shown for all hours; they are of a variety of ma- terials—a straight brimmed one in stiffened black net is trimmed with a large net bow edged with gold. An- other evening sailor is in silver straw, it has a turned -down edge and is banded and veiled with black net. Turbans Popular There are several expertly handled turbans; one in horizon -blue is of a' new stocking silk jersey, it has a pleated roll set on a head -fitting pleated cap. Afternoon toques are of satin rib- bons in several blended shades and have loops and bows in front; some• are also flower -trimmed. Several col- ored fat disk hats are tilted on fitting • caps; some are round, some hexag- onal. PARIS.—All the woollen people have thought for our budgets, -by pro- viding materials for one jacket and several frocks or skirts. They offer checks or small plaids, or other color mixtures, toxeng several shades, for a jacket; then they exactly match each color used in the blend in a plain material to go with it. This is a new and economical version of the old en- semble idea in fabrics. Lesur, for example, offers a "pied de poule" check, in soft beige and a pastel, with two plains, one of the beige, the other of the pastel.
