Of Dundee's six possible suspects— Judge Marshall, owner of the death weapon; Polly ileal. and Clive Ham- 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.

"You're . working on poor. Nita'•; murder?" she began without pre- amble, as she seated herself at her dressing table and indicated a decrepit chair for the detective. "I was won- dering how leach longer I could keep out of it... Of course you've been lumping that poor, foolish Gladys Earle... I'm tired!'

Dundee had to risk asking. " ear after I went on the stage -1917. Miss Earle froze instantly. Natur- y ail she interested in the school, We were in the chorus together in y was'Teasing Tilly' --a rotten show, by the way" "Theriedo you know, Miss Hart, whether Nita got married during the winter?" Dundee asked. "Why, yes, she did!" Serena Hart a:.sweaed. "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?" CHAPTER ILII. 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—" "I'll 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' must 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 hien. "I've met thele 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. "F1oia Hackett—llrs. Tracey Niles she is new—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 erode things lively." "I'll say so! Miss Pendleton nearly had nervous prostration'" Miss Earle plunged on, then fear blanched her face for a moment. "You know you've promised you'll lever tell Miss Pendle- ton or Miss Macon that you talked to me!" "You can depend on it thee I will • - , r. tect you," Dundee • assured her. "When did Flora Hackett kick up her little fuss?" "Let's see . . Flora graduated in June, 1920, so it meet have been in 1.919 ---yes, because , he had one more ' ;ear here. She took the lead in our annual Easter play in 1919, and just because Serena Hart complimented ' pier and told her she was almost as gond as a professional—" "Serena Hart!" Dundee wondering- ly repeated tire name of one of Am- erica's moat popular and beloved stage stars. "Yes, Serena Hart," 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 1 when Serena became a star Fori yte was proud to claim her. i , Anyway Serena comes to the Easter l.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 bad the lead in the play four or five yeas;. ago." "And Flora Hackett— " Dundee. prompted. "Well, the next clay after the play the Easter vacation began, you knew, 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 middl:+ of the holidays, her father and mother carne and asked for Flora! They wired the girl in Atlanta, and Flora wasn't there, and the Hacketts 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 Mr. 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 Earle event on. "They tried to hush it up, of course, but the `,turd went through the school like, • wildfire that Tera; wasn't only in the chorus, but that she `was living with an actor she'd been writing ftn letters to long before the 'wrier play !" went dip. "Did Oh hear his name?" Dundee asked. "No," Miss Earle acknowledged, "But I'll bet anything it as the truth! Why, Flora was soman-era.ay she flirted scandalously with every male teacher in the school." ' "I suppose," 'Dundee prompted crWftlly, "she wasn't any worse than some of the other Hamilton girls." magnetic than when seen from t to footlights. Serena Hart was one of the most attractive womee 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 and once when she said it made her mad the way chorus girls were run down, I 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 them; worse than anything I've told you; about Flora Hackett and Janet Rayr fond," • "By the way," Dundee asked, "how did Nita happen to get the jok, here of directing • the Easter plays?" "'' "That's what the reporters wanted to know," Mise 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 metope, which she thrust into Dundee's hands. He read: VAIN EXPECTATIONS .As well might you expect exalted ,sentiments of justice from a profess- ed gamester, as look for noble prin- ciples in the man whose hopes and tears are all suspended on the pres- ent moment, and who stakes the whole happiness of his being on the events of this vai' and fleeting life. ]2nbrtrf :(Tall. 1 i�3,r'ittt t Dear Miss Pendleton: The bearer, Juanita Leigh, is rather badly in need of a jab, 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 for the vtork, Knowing my love for Forsyte as you do, I do not have to assure you that I would suggest nothing which would be detrimental t the school's best interests..

"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 she said she would be all week," "I will!" Dundee accepted the sug- gestion gratefully, as if it had not occurred to hint. "But first I want you to come out to lunch with me. I'm sure you know of some nice tearoom or roadhouse in the neig'hborhood," 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 Forsytr's Hamilton alumnae.

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 I)r. Albert B. Fergu- son of the New York Orthopedic Hos- pital, Says Dr, B. E. Free in bis 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. inch a year, which indicates that the operation may provide a general way of giving such short -legged children two legs of nearly the sait'Se length."
