S1NODSIS. Special Investigator Dundee believes that Juanita Selitu and Dexter Sprague were both murdered because they were Partners in a blackmail achene, while the police theory is that they were lolled to avenge "Swallowtail' Sammy" ,:avetli, whom Nita is supposed to have double- crossed. Of Dundee's six possible suspects— Judge Marshall, miner of the death weapon; Polly Deal, and Clive Thain - mond, who married suddenly after Sprague's death; John Drake, Janet Ray- mond, in love with Sprague, and Flora Miles --his case is strongest against Flora. I<Ie believes it possible she killed Nita, thinking Nita has told her hus- band, Tracey, of s 1 scandal involving her, and that Tracey killed Sprague to protect his wife from a chars. of mur- der. Taking up the trail in New York, he finds that the dress in which Nita was cremated and which he thinks was her wedding dress, was bought in ,Janu- ary, 1918. He then goes to the I+ orsyte School, where all the women involved in the mystery attended. CHAPTER Y.LII. Bonnie Dundee's heart leaped, but he . forced himself to go • -softly. "I suppose," he aid casually, "a fash- ionable school like this has plenty of carefully hushed -up scandals—" "Pll say it has!" Miss Earle re- torted inelegantly, and with ghoulish satisfaction. "Money can do any- thing! It makes my blood simply boil when I think of how those For- syte girls in Hamilton—so smug and snobbish in their hick town `society' n.ust be running poor Nita down, now that she's dead and can't defend her- self! .. If the truth was only known about some of them—" Dundee could almost have embraced the homely, life -soured spinster—she was making his task so easy for him. "I've niet them all, of course, since Mrs. Selim was murdered," he said deprecatingly, "and I must say they seem to be remarkably fine women and girls—" "Oh, are they?" Miss Earle snort- ed. "Flora Hackett—Mrs. Tracey Miles she is now—didn't happen to tell you the nice little fuss she kicked u when she was here, did she?" "She looks,"Dundee agreed, "like a girl who would have made things lively." "I'll say so! Miss, Pendleton nearly had nervous prostration!" Miss. Earle plunged on, then fear blanched her i face for a. moment. "You know you've promised you'll i.ever. tell Miss Pendle- ton or Miss Macon that you talked to me!" "You can depend on it that I will ruteet- you," Dundee assurers her. ("When. did Flora Hackett Irick up her Iittle fuss?" "Let's see ... Flora graduated in June, 1920, so it inuet have been in 1919—yes, because she had one more year here. She took the lead in our annual Easter play in 1919, arid just because Serena Hart complimented her and told her she was almost as good as a professional—" "Serena Hart!" Dundee wondering- ly repeated the naine of one of Am- erica's most popular' and beloved stage stars. "Yes, Serena Haiti;," Miss Earle re- ! peated proudly. "She was a Forsyte girl, too, and she went into the chorus herself. Miss Pendleton nearly died because she was afraid Forsyte's pre- cious prestige would be lowered; but when Serena became a star Forsyte was proud to claim her. . , Anyway Serena comes to the Easter !.lay every year she can, and so she saw Flora acting in the Easter play.in 1919, and told her she was awfully good. She was, too, but not half the actress that little Penny Crain was, when she had the lead in the play four or five years. ago." "And Flora Hackett--" Dundee prompted. "Well, the next day after the play the Basta vacation began, you know, and Flora forged a letter from her father giving her permission to spend the ten days' Easte: holiday with one of the girls who lived in Atlanta," Miss Earle continued, with great rel- ish.. "Well, sir, right in the middle of the holidays, her father and mother cane and asked for Flora! They wired the girl in Atlanta, and Flora wasn't there, and the Haeketts were nearly crazy. But as luck would have it, Mr. Hackett ran into a. friend of theirs on Broadway, and this friend. began to tease Mi. Hackett about his daughter's being a chorus girl!" "A chorus girl!" Dundee echoed, taking care not to show his disap- pointment. "Of course they nabbed her right out of the show, but that wasn't the worst of it!" Miss Eagle went on. "They .tried to Mesh it up, of course, but -the ward went through the school like wildfire that Flora wasn't only in the chorus, bust that she was living with an actor she'd been writing ftn letters to long before the 11;pete1 . lacy ins womea ere gain again the real k000kww.Lvititt2 of Dlanelid Dyes tor j381matent, "Did you hear his name?" lunaea dark colors by boiling.

And Janet looked as healthy as any other girl in the school except that she was crying half the time, and snuggling special delivery. letters in and out by one of the maids—" "Did you tell Nita these stories and point out the pictures of the girls?" Dundee had to risk asking. Miss Earle froze instantly. "Natur- ally she was interested in the school, and once when she said it -made her mad the way chorus girls were run down, 1 told her that in my opinion society. girls were worse than actress- es, and -well, of course, I gave her some examples, a lot of then worse than anything I've told you about Flora Hackett and Janet Raymdnd" "By the way," Dundee asked, "how did Nita happen to get the job here of directing the Easter plays?" "That's what the reporters wanted to know," Miss Earle smiled. "Did Serena Hart get her the job?" Dundee asked. "Yes.... Wait, I'll show you the letter of recommendation she wrote for Nita to Miss Pendleton," Miss Earle offered. She went to a walnut filing cabinet and quickly return with a nate, which she thrust into Dundee's hands. He read: Dear Miss Pendleton: The bearer, Juanita Leigh, is rather badly in need of a job, and I have suggested that she apply to you for a chance to direct the Easter play. I have known Miss Leigh personally for 10 years, and have the highest regard, both for• her character and for her ability. Since you usually stage musical comedies, I think Miss Leigh, who has been a specialty dancer as well as an actress in musical comedy for about 12 years, would be admirably suited or the work. Knowing niy love for Forsyte as. you do, I do not have to assure you that I would suggest nothing which would be detrimental to the school's best interests. Fondly . yours, Serena Hart, "She was wrong there, but I know it wasn't Nita'e fault," .:1liss Earle commented upon the last sentence of the letter. "Is Miss Hart appearing in a play now?" Dundee asked. "No, but she 's rehearsing in one— `Temptation'—which. will open at the Warburton Theatre next Monday night," the secretary answered. "At commencement Tuesday night, Serena told Miss Pendleton how awfully sorry she was about Nita, and gave me tickets for the opening. You go to see her... I know she's rehearsing at the theatre this afternoon, because sl.e said she would be all week," "I will!" Dundee accepted the sug- gestion gratefully, as if it had not occurred to him. "But first I want you to come out to lunch with me. I'm sure you know of some mice tearoom or roadhouse in the neighborhood." During the luncheon, which Miss Earle devoured avidly, without its interfering with her flow of reminis- cences concerning the girls she hated, Dundee was able to learn nothing more to the detriment of Forsyte's Hamilton alumnae. "I feel 1 should share with you a wonderful compliment I. had on nay new rag ruts," writes an appreciative Three Rivers woman. "A wealthy lady from the City of Quebec was visiting here and saw the rag rugs I hacl just finished. She was so enthusi- astic—said she had never seen such artistic ones, with such rich, lovely colors. She asked me if I bought new materials to get such beautiful color effects. When I told her I had dyed my old scraps with Diamond Dyes, she simply couldn't believe it. Of course I'm very proud of my rugs. Besides being beautiful colors, they are fast and washable," In the popular new art of rug mak- It as nearly three o'clock when he presented his card, with a message penciled upon its back, to the aged doorkeeper who drowsed in the alley which led to the stage entrance of the Warburton Theatre, and fifteen minutes later he was being received in the star's dressing room by Serena Hart herself, "You're working on poor Nita's. murder?" she began without .pre- amble, as she seated herself at her dressing table and indicated a decrepit c:_air for the detective. "I was won- dering how mach longer I e•ould keep oi.t, of it... Of course you've been humping that poor, foolish Gladys Earle... I'm tired! We've been at 1. since 10 this nwrnin,;, but thank the Lord we're through now for the day." Dundee studied her with keen inter- est, anu decided that, almost plain though she was, she was even more magnetic than when seen from the footlights. Serena Hart was one of the most attractive womer Dundee had ever met—and one of the kindest, he felt suddenly sure. "When did I first meet Nita Leigh?" she repeated his question. "The first year after I went on the stage -1917. We were in the chorus together in 'Teasing Tilly'—a rotten show, by the way„ "Then do you know, Miss Hart, whether Nita got married during the winter?" Dundee asked. "Why, yes, she did!" Serena Hart a:.swered. "I can't remember exactly when, but it was before the show. closed, because the poor child was a deserted bride days before the closing notice was posted." "Deserted!" • Dundee exclaimed. ."Did you meet her husband, Miss Hart?"

Through the holes the central core of blood vessels and bone marrow is cut in two—a new surgical procedure described to the American medical Association by Dr. Albert B. Fergu- son of the New York Orthopedic Hos- pital. Says Dr. E. E. Free in his Week's Science (New York) : "Long bones, such as those of the human leg, have two different blood supplies, one through the bone mar- row and the other through the living membrane that covers the outside of the bone. Dr, Ferguson had noticed that in accidental fractures or other cases in which the blood supply through the marrow was interrupted, the bone frequently lengthened faster than it would have done otherwise. "Working on this clue, sixteen child- ren with one leg shorter than the Other have been treated by an opera- tion in which two holes are drilled in- to each of the leg bones about one- third of the way from each end, a knifelike tool is inserted through this hole and the blood -vessels of the mar- row are cut through and interrupted. The holes in the ones do no harm, and the blood supply through the mem- brane outside the bone is not dis- turbed. - "Dr. Ferguson reports that every bone so treated has been growing faster than the corresponding bone of the other leg by about an eighth of an iiieh a year, which indicates, that the operation may provide a general wait of .giving such short -legged children two legs of nearly the same length."
