While you're getting the liquid in- side of you, I want to hear about everything. If you think I'm going to tuck you in and go home be- fore I get the whole story, you are sadly mistaken. If you will go out chasing a murderer all night with a hole in your side, you'll have to take the consequences. I'm going to ask questions if I stay here the rest of the n'ght." The three of them sat a long time over brandy and hot coffee discussing the case. After a leng- thy resume, they grew silent. Mc - Cale finally spoke. "The• maddening thing about it all was the motive, you see. Every- one who came under suspicion af- ter Veronica was more or less cleared had a motive. But not dif- ferent motives—they all had the same one." * * * "What do you mean?" Ann ask- ed, "Well, they were all in the plot to get Curt married to Veronica and in charge of the Bigelow mil- lions.

"Oh, I know the old one about everyone being a potential murderer, I had to nose a little closer to the ground than just accusing one right after the other. Some of them had to have a stronger motive than just money. aentierseie 76, ig L OF y Jackson Cole Mr. Cole, widely known for his colorful and thrillingly told tales of the West, has never written a more exciting novel than this story of a fearless young Robin Hood, riding the trail of venge- ance over the mountains and up and down the desert valleys of the Southwest, READ THIS THRILLING STORY BEGINNING NEXT WEEK LD wet.

She. didn't give him away, though, not until tonight. She'd even thought of helping him to run away again„ That's why she drew the $800. But tonight when I asked her if she knew why Sybil hadn't been killed instead of stunned, she . didn't answer. However, as I went out the door, she began to play the Lullaby from Joselyn. It was her ' way of telling me about the mo- ther fixation Stephen had. He could not bring himself to kill her, even though he realized she had gone to the attic to see if his sailor suit was still there—and the gun." "Oh, that's what she was look- ing for." :I, a: * "Of course. Funny. All the way along the line, everything pointed to the sailor angle. It wasn't until I found the black silk square in the attic that I realized what I had missed. It was a kerchief, you know, the kind sailors wear knot- ted about their necks. When I re- alized what it was, the whole puz- zle fell into focus. There was a sailor lounging near the gate across from the house on the af- ternoon of the murder. Then Miss Bigelow had told me that Stephen had once run away and joined the navy. He even mentioned the fact himself. Then there was the pic- ture missing from Shari Lynn's wall. The only sailor in all those uniforms. Stephen's photograph, of course. The picture was taken years and years ago—not a very good one—but if I had given it more than a cursory, glance the night' I saw it at' Shari' Lynn's, I think I would have recognized him." "Lord. The whole business was out in the open all the time." This from Rocky. "Uh uh, That's where he was clever. It was almost etoo out in the open. Stephen told no lies. He admitted being jealous of Karen. Everything he did was logical, you know, except attacking his mo- ther. He shouldn't have done that, because he couldn't follow through on it. He didn't have the heart to kill her. It showed that the killer had a fondness for Sybil that kept him from destroying her. That de- finitely put the finger on Stephen? a * Rocky said, surprisingly, "He was lucky about the false clues, too, boss. He didn't try to leave any himself—false ones—to point another way, like most murderers do. There was the red wig and everybody being in the same lo- cality at just the right time to come under suspicion. Those things just happened. All the con- fusion it caused was lucky for him —for a while, anyway," "That's certainly right. He al- most got away with bumping me off, too," "He'd never been caught if he'd killed you," said Ann. "Oh; I don't know. Donlevy's smart and he would have plugged away until he got the right line, no doubt." "Maybe." She sounded skeptical. "Good heavens, It's five o'clock. Rocky tilted his bulk from his chair, saying, "I'll mosy along, too. Conic on, Ann, I'll drop you." Duke," she ordered. "I hope you're "You get right into bed now, going to be all right. You aren't running a fever are you?" She put her hand on his fore- head and, bending over suddenly, gave him a long kiss.

From the writing, you can picture such writers to be flashy and showy to' the extreme. 'T4teir clothes may be of loud splashy material with an assort- ment of contrasting colours, cheap jewelry, and a display of unnec- essary trinkets. These indicate lack of good taste and refinement. An example of this writing is il- lustrated below. Such writers make ungraceful, heavy whirls and loops in all their letters. In many cases, hooks begin and end the words, showing the person to be abnormally materialistic with a love of self-indulgence in eating and drinking. They go beyond the average person in their living habits and become excessive in everything they do. Harmon;' and spirituality is not part of their character as they do not believe in refinement, good temper, orgood judgment. Writing which appears to stand straight up, as in the first exams ple, shows the nature to be more reserved than the nature in the second example, which indicates the person to be openly vulgar in speech as •ell as manner.

The common tenden- cy is to think of "purity" chief-, ly, if not altogether, in terms of sex; but purity of heart means a great deal more than avoidance of what Saint Peter (I Peter 2:11) has called the "fleshy lusts that war against the soul." Purity, too, must be considered on its positive side. It is not enough to resist the temptations of evil; it necessary to be moved by the impulses of good, and the power of love.
