Holmes, of Oberlin University. It represents America's stake .n an international scientific race to be first with isola- tion of vitamin A, the disease -resis- tance builder. At the University of Zurich Dm. Karrer has produced a similar oil 10,000 times as powerful as cod liver oil; while three Englishmen have reached vitamin A concentrations in similar oils 6,500 times add 7,800 times stronger than the fish oil. Professor 'Holmes gets his near- ritamin A, from halibut liver oil, He converts the halibut liver oil into a very old-fashioned substance, soap, getting rid of all except seven or eight per cent. of the fish oil, and leaving the vitamin concentrated in the leftover liquid. Modern solvent processes wash this liquid out of the soap. When fully purified of soap, the liquid is frozen, for many days, at 109 degrees below zero, in a carbon - dioxide snow, which is solidified cac- bon dioxide gas, This freezing causes some of the substances in the liquid to crystallize. These crystals con- tain none of the vitamin but they re- main crystallized when the liquid is melted, and can be raked out leaving the mixture one step closer to vita- min A purity. Afterward the substance is filtered time after time through ultra -porous solids which take out still further Impurities. The result is the ex- tremely potent pale yellow oil. Ex- actly how near it is to pure vitamin A is not known. All of these processes -have to be carried on in a vacuum, to prevent the oxygen in the air from picking up the vitamin and spoiling it.

"Don'ts" in Marriage Result in Happiness Chicago.—For the bride who wishes t_ get along with her mother-in-law and be happy, science has come forth with a few suggestions. Here they are: Don't criticize her "old-fashioned" ideas. Don't try to reform her methods of household management. Don't (out loud) resent dealings she has with her son. Don't begrudge waiting on her. Don't belittle her real or fancied ailments. Don't criticize her personal habits. Don't forget to practice tolerance, always. If the bride will just do these things, all will be well with her re- lations with her mother-in-Iaw, said Dr. E. W. Burgess, professor of so- ciology at the University of Chicago, He arrived at this solution by sifting and studying the answers to 6,000 questionnaires sent to married couples to find out how persons can be happy and married.

WILMOT CHAM'I SR, XXVII. Roger Barling after escorting Molly to her flat, returned to his own apart- n.ent, deep in serious thought, 1f Cleveland was right in his as- sumption that Silver was the princi- pal behind the girl, the directing me,n-• ta) force, then to release her he must strike at Silver. But how? Was he not already too late to do that?The damage had been done. Major Car- stairs had accepted her as his daugh- ter very conveniently suffering front luss of memory. Roger dropped into his armchair, The little clock on the mantel chimed midnight. For another hour he, sat; and then the telephone -rang. "Is that Mr. Barling: This is Jud- son speaking. I'm at Charing Cross Station. You remember me, Mr. Bar - ling, don't you?" the going's good." "Of course I remember you." "Well, sir, I got back tonight about midnight and I found that Silver's got Miss Carstairs, I'm quitting while "What do you mean by 'Got Miss Carstairs'?" "I found that he'd sent the' Isar down for her about eleven o'clock, and there's something nasty going on, If I were you I'd watch out." A click at the other end told Roger that the man had rung off. Molly had been surprised that the car which called at the flat -was not driven. by Judson. The man at the ve.eel was one of the underlings who looked after the garden. But she had not the slightest apprehension, for her mind was made ,up. Whatever the Major wanted her for she was deter- mined to tell the truth. Her reception at the house struck her as being rather odd. Flora Silver met her in the hall. "Come this way, my dear," she in- timated tonelessly, leading the way into the lounge. "Paul won't be long." Without further explanation the woman left the room,and as Molly stood staring at the closing door she was amazed to hear the key being turned in the lock. After what seem - cal an age, the door was unlocked' and Silver entered. "So there you are, eh? I suppose you're wondering what we want with you! Well, the game's up, my girl Flora wants me to let you go, but I've taken enough risks already with you, my girl. I half suspect that you're in some way responsible i~or'"'thi You've been letting your tongue' get "Have you got thein out?" demand- ed Roger, unsteadily. "Got who out?" asked Slayton. "Miss Carstairs. Quick, man! Have you sent for the brigade?" Blayton was astonishingly cobl. "Of course," he answereu, readily, "but how do ,you know Miss Carstairs is here?" Breathlessly, Roger told him about the telephone message he had received. "I, see," he mentioned, - tonelessly. "But we can't do anything until the brigade arrives. To try to force an entrance downstairs now, would be sl ieidal, Mr. Barling." "But I tell you Molly's there," hoger protested, the name slipping un- consciously from his lips. -• "We must be patient, Mr. Barling. You may rest assures' that we shall do e.erything possible." Suddenly out of the shadows that e gulfed them they saw a darting fig- ure of a woman, hatless and with dish- evelled hair. • For one incredible mo- ment Roger thought it was Molly; but this figure was not running from the house but towards it. Roger heard Blayton stifle a curse. "Quick, after her, Peters, she's going to her death." But .although the man addressed sprinted across the intervening space the girl ahead had a big start. , She had reached the side of the house and in a moment they . sew her climbing, hand over hand up the tangled ivy. The next moment she had disappeared from view in the direction of one of the topmost windows in the pointed b able. Major Aldous Carstairs was sur- prised to find himself in bed. He tried desperately hard to think what had happened. Then like a flash it came back to him. He remembered Silver, the revolver, the drugged whisky, his telephoning the girl. A new fear gripped him. He realized he had been indirectly responsible for the trap which apparently Silver had laic}. He jumped from bed. An odor of smoke assailed his nostrils. Below him he could hear the brackling of flames. The terrible truth broke upon him—tne house was on fire. The next moment was at the window crying aloud to the apparently empty night for assistance. So this, he reflected bitterly, was the end, They had left hint to die in a 'burning house. And what of the girl. That girl, whoever she was, had given him more than she knew. He had returned to England to find hap - the better of you. Carstairs ares.. f .liiness with his daughter; she hacl have been having a little chat l bout you, arLd we've decided to keep you here until the police arrive. I'm sorry for you, Miss Carstairs—very sorry indeed. You are a young woman with ir_mense possibilities. They'll prob- ably give you several years. I'n. cleariaa out. So is Flora. Come, are yon ready?" "I demand to speak is Nia;,or Car- stairs," Molly said. "So you shall, but not yet awhile. However, follow me. Hesitantly Molly f5llowed him to- wards the door. As they were close to it ha made a swift movement and turned to face her, and as he did so his hand shot out. The next moment something white was pressed to Molly's face and she breathed the sick- ening odor of chloroform. Major Carstairs' rightful daughter had returned to Greenwich, but there was an uneasiness in her mind. De- spite everything she had a sincere re- gard for the girl she had discovered impersonating her. Sitting in her room, she grew more anxious as the time fled by. Finally she went out to a telephone call -box and rang Molly's flat, only to have the operator tell her there was no reply. At that her mind was made up. By the time she arrived at Lawn House it .was nearly two o'clock.. The house was in darkness. She silently walked to an old window at the back of the house, Someone inside the room had strtck a match, and in its glow she saw the face of Paul' Silver. Then she saw he was holding a can of pet - rd. and had started sprinkling it around the room. The truth dawned on her quickly. He was setting the. house alight. Even as she looked a burst of flame came from the far caner of the room. Paul Silver vanished. Desperately the girl opened the spring window and flung herself into the room, tell- ing herself that she must reach the door leading to the staircase before the fire barred her path. Heedless of her danger she sprang across the room. The door was locked '.rid the flames had met behind her, cutting off her retreat. Suddenly she remernbereu the old trnnel. She dropped on her knees and searched the floor for the concealed ring. CHAPTER XXVIII. Roger Barling saw the blase as he ame along the road. Jumping out of his car, he dashed across the lawn, He was surprised to .wee a Little knot of people standing there, The ground' floor was well alight, and in the glow he saw Inspector Blayton. given hini that happiness, until that old doubt of his had masked the real- ity of it all. A sound of running feet outside his door,,, arae to his ears. Someone was calling. "Father! Father! Where are you?" This must surely be some niad cream—the effect of that damnable drug. His hearing was playing tricks with him, But that voice! He heard it again. It was nearer now. And hallucination or not, Major Carstairs answered it, call for call. A moment later the door of his room was flung open. In the density of the darkness he could make out a human form, He could hear the ay- inost hysterical breathing as he sat there 'hypnotized. "Father, are you there?" It was the agonized cry of a woman close be- side him. • Instinctively he breathed her name: "Molly!" He felt her clutching hint, sobbing wildly, her whole frame racked with an uncontrollable emotion. His arms went around her, thankfully. This was his child. Providence had sent her to him in the hour of his greatest need. "Quick!" she cried. "We must get out. The house is burning!" "We can't go like this," he cried. "There's another woman—we must find her." • Oht on the landing a great cloud of smoke assailed them. The girl paused and opened a door. They were in another room where the window was wide 'open, and before the win- dow's aperature was silhouetted against the lighter tint of the night sky a ladder. • The firemen,found Molly Carstairs. ten n.=nutes lter.

" he paused uncer- tainly, staring at the girl who was clinging to Major Carstairs' arm "My daugher, Inspector," supplied Carstairs quietly. An hour later a strange company was assembled at Major Carstairs' flat, and the Major was speaking: "1 seem to be in a land of make- believe tonight/' he smiled. "And I don't want anyone to spoil it by enter- ing upon a lot of e eplanations. You see, I think 1 know more than you imagine. But I will say this," he added, turning' to Roger, "I owe a very great debt of gratitude to these two young ladies here who, by a happy coincidence, bear similar names. I' won't say more, but we shall expect you at lunch here tomorrow, M•r. Bar - ling." The promised lunch was a happy affair for all concerned, and Roger took it upon himself to say that be- fore very long there would only be one Molly Carstairs instead of two. And what of the Silvers? Inspector Blayton is very fond of saying that at Holloway and at Wandsworth gaol the prison commis- sioners will not countenance card parties. (The End.) King Alfonso Unforgiving Cuts Son's Allowance Paris.—Former King Alfonso XIII of Spain remains unalterably opposed to the marriage his eldest son, the former Prince of the Asturias, has contracted with a commoner, the for: mer Senorita Edelmira Sampedro, of Cuba, and, contrary to repo:'ts, no re- conciliation between the two men has occurred, it was learned here last week from reliable sources. At the interview between the exiled King and his son at a Paris hotel, the latter, now known as Count Cava- donga, was told definitely that his father would not receive the daughter- in-law and that she would not be pre- sented to 'other members of the''for- nier Spanish royal family. Alfonso also announced that the allowance formerly paid to his eldest son as heir -presumptive to the Span- ish throne would be considerably re- duced in feture and that the difference would go to the ex -King's third son, Prince Juan Carlos. The latter, at present a courtesy cadet in the British n,. y, is now considered by the ex- King as his heir. The only concession made to the eldest son was a promise to pay the doctors' bill for his recent treatment in Switzerlaind, where be married last June 21. Count Cavadonga's friends say that he pleaded earnestly with his -lather at their dramatic meeting in a small hotel drawing -room for recognition of his morganatic marriage, but that the ex -King was adamant. Persons who know Alfonso well say that his deci- sion is irrevocable. Owing to the reduction thus made in their financial resources, the young couple have been compelled to cut ex- ' penses and are now residing at a less expensive Betel here. The essentfai feature of the classi- fication of soil types throughout the Empire based upon pioneer investiga- tions in Russia, is the recognition that climate ultimately dominate. the type of soil in any country or district.
