He is to conduct the first performance of a sym- phony of his own composition fi,t the Queen's Hall. The event has aroused very great interest. The hall is crowd- ed, and millions of listeners are waiting for the performance to come over the radio. Patelli makes his entrance, and rais- big lite baton suddenly collapses. Medical aid 1s immediately forthcom- ing, but it is obvious that the man is dead. In the audience are two young people. Lettiee Manton and Stephen Garton. "The inquest on the late Signor Agostino Parelli opened before the Coroner for the Western District, Dr Thripfall, this morning. Certain or- gans from the body had been exam- ined by Sir Edward Greene, the Home Office analyst, and he appear- ed in person to present his report. There was no doubt in his mind that the death of Signor Parelli had been caused by the administration of the drug curare one of the deadliest al. kaloid poisons know: to pharmaco- logy. The drug used to be employed by the natives of South America to render effective the arrows which they used against their enemies in tribal wars and in the hunting of game. A pecularity of this drug, as Sir Edward explained, was that it could be taken by the mouth by a human being without causing the slightest ill effect, whereas the re- sult of an injection into the blood stream of as little as a quarter of a grain was the almost instantaneous Ma he Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains is SAFE is Your Doctor.

We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called "pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods get discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and safe for the ,average person to take regularly. 'Aspirin" Tablets are made in '�anadpa. "Aspirin" is the registered trade -mark of the Bayer Company, Limited. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every tablet.

'The analyst's report went on to de. scribe in detail the usual symptoms. The girl shruddered as she react "here was a slight—a very slight --scratch on the fleshy part at the base of Signor Parelli's thumb—the only sign of a recent incision that the doctor had been able to find on the conductor's body. He could not say that this was the actual point at which the poison had entered the eonciuc tor's body, but he was led to suppose that this must be the case. As to how exactly the incision had been made, it was impossible for him to say. The puncture might have been made by a sharp pin or needle. He could say quite definitely — in view of the re- sults of his microscopic examina- tion -- that the blood had been caus- ed to flow." The girl paused. Mr. Manton pictur- ed in her mind the awful agony which the famous composer must have endured during those last few moments of his life, moments which should have marked the turning point of another great phase of hs tri- umphant career. Lettiee Manton read on. The gist of what she read was that the evidence of the other medical witnesses — men who had examined the body immediately after the oc- currence as it lay in the musician's room beneath the platform of the Queen's Hall, corroborated the find- ings of Sir Edward Greene. Mr. Arthur Cope, the leader of the or- chestra, testified to the manner in which Signor Parelli bad met his death. The evidence of the police of- ficers who were called to the scene, was mostly of a formal nature. Ev deuce was given by Mr. Thomas,Hat.: ris, a chauffeur employed iesImee.ce hire firm in the West End. He it was who picked up the dead man's baton after the body had been remot;ed to the temporary mortuary. The. baton was identified at a. later stage. as the one always used by Signor Parelli. It was presented to him by the King of Italy, and was lavishly decorated with diamonds, and other precious stones, and beads of platinum. d'In as t was thought at first by the police that it might have some connection *ith the con- ductor's mysterious • death. But noth- ing of an unusual nature was found upon the staff. The witness deposed to having seen a man whose cloth- ing he described fairly closely, in the act of hunting about among the de- corative plants below the platform whilst the audience was still filing out of the hall. He was unable to see his face, and doubted very much if he would be able to identify him should he see him again. The last witness to be called was Mr. Luigi Martinelli, the dead man's personal servant and valet, who tra- velled everywhere with hint and who,, it was understood, performed even secretarial duties for the great con_ ductor. He was obviously far from well. He described how he had entered Signor Parelli's employment more than thirty years ago, when the mu- sicion was a church organist strug- gling against poverty in a small lage in his native country. It was a tale of devotion and fidelity which clearly moved the assembly. In those years this man had made, in his own way, as great strides as had his fa- mous master in his, His affection and admiration for the dead man had • ONTARIO APPLES FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS Delivered Overseas, United States, Canada New Insulated egg -filler container, no bruising.Retain flavor for tong period, Several size packages, McIntosh eds and Spys, Won. derful Package.

I hardly think from, your letter that is anything more serious than irritability, although that is bad enough and, if continued, may have very serious , consequences. Have you tried to find out the cause? I know just how difficult the cir- cumstances must be for you. How those sharp words spoken in an ir- ritable moment, can sting and cut! But think how your retort must ag- gravate your already high strung and 'irritable wife. I believe it is still true that "A soft answer turneth away ;wrath".

Beginning as a general odd -job man about the house and yard„ he had triumphed rover circumstances, and transformed himself into a com- bination of valet and secretary. His ambition was fostered by Parelli's extraordinary shyness of women. By one of the ironies of fate, the bulk of the admiers of his works were wo.. men. He himself was very nervous in their society, and he would never employ a maidservant in his estab- lishment. The opinion was expressed that this evidence should silence rumours to the effect that the event was a love tragedy. "That, I think," said Mrs. Manton, in her precise. 'Victorian manner, "Is rather nonsense." She rolled her "r's" ever so slightly — but enough to show her listeners that she knew where they should come.

Give her a change now and again from the drudgery of nursing and housework, and I am sure the mat- ter will right itself in a surprisingly short time.

Always put lots of vegetables in it. The accompaniment for the soup adds much to the interest of the meal. Croutons, chips and .toast sticks are easy to make and use sidle bread to splendid advantage. To make bread chips, cut stale rolls in very thin slices, crosswise of the roll. The slices 'shouldn't be more than an eighth of an inch thick. Spread on a shallow pan and put in a slow oven until crisp and brown throughout. FINE GRAINED BREAD Cut bread as thin as a wafer and toast until crisp and brown in a slow oven. This kind of wafer — like dry toast—is exceptionally good with soup. To make oroutons some cooks dip the neat cubes of bread in melted butter and then brown them in a moderate oven; Others drop the cubes into deep hot fat and fry them a golden brown in sixty seconds. A fine, close" grained texture in bread is important for croutons and It must be stale but not too dry. Cut in slices about one-half inch thick, remove crusts and cut each slice into cubes with a very sharp knife. The sharp knife means much, too, be- cause the cubes must be smooth and clean cut. Dry them until they are crisp through. After this they may be toasted or friend in deep fat. Croutons go right into the soup and form a part of it. Consequently they are eaten. with soup from the soup plate and never with the fingers. SERVING CROUTONS There are two attractive ways to serve croutons. One. ,way is to pass them to each person for him to help himself, or, if the soup is served by the man -of -the -house at the table he drops one or two teaspoons of crou- tons into each plate_:as "la a .,,<wF.�pa_,� ruttanr name implies, sticks of toast. The bread is cut in strips about %, inch thick and % inch wide and 8 inches long. It is then toasted in a hot oven and served, unbuttered, like crackers. Each person helps himself and but- ters his. stick or not as he prefers. Toast Eleanor Graham in the New York Times. Here's to October—that rollicking elf, Capering madly—in love with him- self.

E. J. Messenden, docks and ma• rine manager of the English South+ ern Railway Company, said recently that his company in the past six years has spent $40,000,000 on im- provements and new docking facili.t ties in the port of Southampton, and that the piers and drydock recently completed were designed with a view to accommodating giant liners;' The drydock, which is .,to handle the Queen Mary, can easily aeeom, modate a 100,000 -ton ship, nearly a quarter again as large as the new Cunarder.
