before b"im•ori the table, and he torn -
ed them over one by one, including
�
the . undergarments about which Ethel
and 1Vlargaret had (both _.been so mod-
est. ""It certainly doe not leek like'

with you there,, doctor not on piece-
work pay anyhow," he concluded as
he came to the socks at the bottom
of the pile. eto.
"tut where is the brother bo this?"
he asked sharply, holding up an odd
sock that I recognized as one of
mine. It was marked on the inside
'and he noticed it at once. "F.H.J:
w'hic'h of you two ladies ironed Mr.
Jeffeoek's' socks?"
• 'We all l'oo'ked at Ethel and Mar-
garet, and they et each other. Neither
of them spoke, and then they both
began to speak at .once. "You did, I.
thi- e-.."
Finally, though neither ' of them
seemed /very certain about it, it was
agreed that probably Ethel had iron-
ed that ,particular pair, 'though she
denied most emphatically having
,either brought the odd sock upstairs,
or put it away The Tundish agreed
that she. had not 'brought it up with
her from the basement by accident,
when he called for her 'to help him
with the boy, and both Annie and
cook on 'beirlig, called and questioned
asserted that they had neither of
them touched it. At length Allport
gave up his attempt to locate itin
disgust,.. and picking up the heap of
clothes, threw them angrily into one
of the arra-chairs that stood at the
side of the fireplace behind him.
Having done so, he seemed- to make
a new start, and turned to me. "Now
I want you to tell me honestly, Mr.
Jeffcock, weren't you just a little
surprised when the doctor told you
what he had done? Didn't you think^
it rather peculiar that a man of his
age and position should play tricks
of that description?"
I•had to confess that I had.
"And what made you add what you
did to the noti'ceeeDark deeds are
done at night?"
"I don't know why I made the ad-
dition."
"But it seems to me such a pecu-
liar thing that you should have pick-
ed on those words. Did you know
then that the bedrooms had been up-
set?"
p-
set?,.
"`No."
"Did you know that Miss Palfree-
man was dead when you made the
addition?"
F"No, we none of us knew till break-
fast time this morning."
"Possibly not -possibly one of you
did."
I could have twisted his ugly lit-
tle neck.
"You knew that Dr. 'Wlal'lace had
lived in China?"
"Yes."
"And Miss Palfreeman?"
Now I had been wondering whether
I ought to disclose the conversation
;between Stella and The Tundish that
I had so unfortunately overheard, and
whether I was night or wrong, I don't
know, but I had Heade up my mind
that I would say nothing about it -
at any rate for the present.
In the first place, it seemed to me
that if it was deceitful of me to keep
my knowledge from the police, it
would be still more dis'hones't to tell
them what I had heard. It was a
private and confidential conversation
which quite unwittingly I had been

•lioririal, powers. 1 had premised All -
port. to. 'keep nothii'ng relevant hidden,
along .with the resit; including 'The
T'undie1, bust how was I to 'knew- that
it 'was really relevant? Might I not
•have+: misinterpreted what I did .hear ?
Those gaps in Stejlla's speech, in bow
many different ways could they not
be Ailed? Again, was it my business.
or 'part of my undertaking to report
half .heard remarks'? If it had been
something to do with 'Stella's death,
then surely it was a • matter. for The
Tundish,.. and he, God knows, was
heavily- imwolved• enough without my
going out of my way` to add to his
burden by ranging inyself at the side
of Kenneth,. .
'And so, right 'or wrong, I decided
to keep the overheard conversation
to myself, but I did not quite realize
that my iia olye would necessitate
the lie direct. I soon found out, how-
ever, that it did; and that as soon as
1 had told the first 1 bad to back it
with 'another.
"I don't know whether she knew
it or not," .I ventured, in reply to his
question, after a moment's hesitation.
'"Please don't •play with me, sir!"
the little man almost shouted. "You
know ,perfectly well that I was ask-
ing if you knew that Miss Palfree-
man 'had lived in China."
"No, I 'didn't know that!"
"That I was asking if you knew
that 'Muss Palfreeman had lived in
China?"
"Noe, that she had ever lived in
China," I lied as boldly as I could.
"`'Did you know that they had quar-
relled?"
"No," I lied again.
,He stared at me and I was not sur-
prised; for even to me it had sounded
too loud a denial and somehow un-
convincing. He continued to stare,
and I could feel the questioning
glances of the rest, as I kept my
gaze defiantly on his, but ' he made
no, further "comment.
"Perhaps you will tell us about it,
doctor?"
"`No, I don't think I shall," The
Tundish 'replied pleasantly. "All I
can tell you is this. Miss Palfree-
man's father wds in Shanghai for
two years whilst I was resident there.
He was representing the Foreign Of-
fice in a political mission. We be-
came acquainted and our acquaintance
grerw into friendship. Then we quar-
relled. In fact it was largely on ac-
oount..of our quarrel that I left China
when I did. But I never at any time
had any difference or quarrel with
Miss Paltfreeman. She naturally en-
ough took her father's side in our
d'is'pute. I don't know whether she
knew any 'of the facts -the facts, I
mean, from her father's view -point.
Of ;the true facts only myself and
one other were ever aware. Any-
how, she quite incorrectly thought
that I ruined her father, and she dis-
liked me accordingly.. We only re-
ferred to the matter once during her
visit here, and that was on the ev-
ening before her death, when I tried
to persuade her to forget the past.
Her father committed suicide, but if
necessary I can prove conclusively
that I had nothingwhatever to do
with the' trouble that came to him.
Birt all I can tell you now is, that I
made a certain very solemn promise
that I intend to keep., That promise
makes it impossible for me to tell
you more than I have done already."
'"We are Ito aocept your word for
it then, doctor, that this time, at any
rate, you are telling the truth?" the
detective sneered.
"That, I mush leave to your own
discretion," The Tundish answered
with a pleasant smile, quite im.per-
vious to the little man's insinuations.
Then there followed a battle royal
•bet*een the two of (them, and the
ugly little spitfire was for a full ten
minutes persuasive, cutting, rude,
and threatening in turn, but the doc-
tor sat unmoved Ithrou •h it all. He
refused to even answer "Yes" or
"No" to the many leading questions
that were put to him, and beyond
saying that he had no idea that •Mtiss
Palfreeman was the girl he had
known in Shanghai until he met her
at the club, and that she was about
eighteen years, old when "he returned
to Tngland, he replied, "I have noth-
ing more to say" to every question.
Eventually Al'1'port gave up the un-
equal contest and turned his atten-
tion to Ethel. How long had she
known Dr, Wallace? Did she know
that he knew Stella before she ask-
ed her to stay at Dalehouse for the
tournament? . Some of his questions
were,-bfutual, I thought, and seemed,
to be framed with a rotew to caus-
ing the maximum of annoyance, and
I felt that it was only the realiza-
tion of the danger the doctor stood
in that made her able to hear the or-
deal.
"I understand you are engaged to'
he married to Mr. Dane?",
"No."
"No? But I certainly understood
that you were."
Ethel crimsoned and was silent,
and $en.neth burst out with an an-
gry, "But I say, that ca's't ,have any-
thing to do with Miss Palfreeinan's
death."
Allport held' up his fat podgy lit-
tle hand in angry protest. "That you
must ,please leave for me to decide.
Either you must answer my ques-
tions or we must deal with the mat-
ter in a more formal Manner." This
he said with a threatening glance at
the doctor.
There was silence and he contin-
ued.
"Come now, Miss Hansen, why did•
you break offyour, engagement?"
•Poor Ethel wag, very near to tears
•but she started her answer Ibrave1 .
"We differed over Dr. Wallace -Mr.
Dane osbjectedph! tibut I ain't tell
you." It was. too mulch for her and
she punt' her elh ews on the ta,ble and
all ghastly, • anS f--felkl ..'that a public
in4uiry Coup not' be worse than these
intimate exposures. Boit Allport was
immovable, ineador'alble: . .
"Yoe, are •very-foiid of De. Wallace
then?" • •
'Ethel nodded, 'but did not look up.
"Very fond? Does that mean you.
are in love with him?"
"N'o," she' •wh'isipered.
I could bear it no longer, "Murder
or no murder." I said, "you've no
right to ask questions' like 'that."
Allport held up 'his hands in de-
spair. "You don't understand -you
simply can't understand the 'position
you are all of, you. in. Yes, all of
'you. Supposing Dr. Wallace were
brought to trial, what sort of ques-
tions do you imagine the counsel for
the defense would ask you? .Isn't it
better to talk to me here privately?
You don't imagine I enjoy this kind
'of thing, I suppose?"
'I heard Kenneth mutter, "I'm not
so sure of that," but The Tundish
pacified him with a genial:
"Yes, Mr. Allport, you are right,
of course, but you can't expect us to
enjoy it very much either. .I am
sure you had better tell him any-
thing you can," be concluded, turning
to Ethel.
"But you are not willing ta follow
your own advice, doctor!" Allport
snapped.
"I told you all II was at liberty to
tell you. I didn't resent any of your
questions."
The little detective shrugged his
.shoglders.
"Well, then, Miss Hanson, I'm to
understand that you ;broke off your
engagement with Mr. Dane ;because
'you differed from him over this un-
fortunate •affair, and that you are
very fond of the doctor here, but that
you are not in love with him. Is that
correct?"
"I suppose it'snear enough," Eth-
el whispered.
"Now I want you to answer this
very carefully.. Had you noticed any-
thing between the doctor and Miss
Palfreeman? Had you any reason
at allto suspect that whilst she dis-
liked the doctor, he might have had
other feelings with regard to her?"
"No. It's quite absurd. He hardly
knew her."
"Pardon me, he 'has just informed
us that for two years her father was
one of his most intimate friends. You
are not asking me to believe that he
hardly knew the daughter, who was
eighteen at the time?"
Then leaning over the table, and
speaking very slowly, he asked her,
"Did you know where the Chinese
poison was kept? Exactly which
bottle, it was in, d mean?"
",`Yes."
;"Ands roughly what its action
was?"
"Yes."
•
"So that if you had found the key
Miss Summerson says she lost, you
would have had no difficulty in get-
ting at it and using it in -the --way
-it.-has-been-used?"
"No, I suppose not," Ethel replied
bravely but going as white as a
sheet.
Next he turned quite suddenly to
Margaret. "And what were the pa-
pers you burnt in your bedroom
grate, Miss Hunter?"
"I didn'tburn any papers."
"Oh! Please think carefully now.
Surely you did burn something. I
found the charred pieces there my-
self, and Annie has told me she clean-
ed out the grate only the morning
before. 'What was it that you burnt."
"I didn't burn anything."
"Not a photograph, for instance?"
"I didn't burnanything at all. I
really didn't."
' "Then you expect me to believe
that some rine .else went into your
.room for the purpose of burning pa-
per in that particular grate?"
Margaret made no reply to this and
Allpont went on to question her close-
ly about where she had lived in Shef-
field. At which school had she
taught? Why.did she leave it? Did
she have to 'Work for her living?
Then there followed a whole string
of rapid questions concerning her
previous knowledge of Ralph. How
far apart did they live? Did they
belong to the same tennis club? Did
she see him once a month? Once a
week? Once a day? Had they ev-
er been engaged to each other?

in a brooder house they should not be
overcrowded; A 10 by 12 foot col-
ony house should be required to ac-
commodate a maximum of 300 chicks.
Larger number's are dangerous, from
the standpoints of physical comfort
and disease. It is important that
sufficient hopper space be available
so that all the chicks may feed com-
fortably. This requirement will'•gen-
erally be satisfied by one inch per
chick at the start with a gradual in-
crease as they become large.'
The brooder stove used . should be
sufficiently large to provide even and'
suitfieient temperatures without the
necessity of crowding on the part _df
the chicks. Ebtperience indicates that
usually the next size larger than the
rated capacity ,required •gilvcs much
more satisfaction and soon pays for
the extra cost. Until the chicks be-
come accustomed to the source of
heat they mast be kept from wander-
ing away and crowding in the corners
of the room and, even at a later stage
the corners -should be filled in to pre
vent this crowding. They are kept
from wandering from the heat by a
low wire mesh circle which is enlarg-
ed each day until they know enough
to return to the stove when in need
of warmth. The temperature of the
brooder must, of course, be right and
while it is not necessary to keep the
whole brooder at a high temperature,
a temeerature of 98 to 100 degrees
F. should be available to the 'chicks
near the edge of the canopy at all
times while they are young.
Since the cockerels, through their
competitive' strength, hinder the de-
velopment of the pullets they should
be removed as soon as possible thus
giving the pullets more room. As
scion as the chicks can db without heat
the stave may be removed and tem-
porary roosts set up n the brooder
house. When they are roosting pro-
perly a wire range roosting coop with
covered top only' has been found to
be very satisfactory. • During the
whole of the rearing period, as well
as during the brooding period, when
practicable, the birds should have ac-
cess to free range of as good quality
as can be made available. When .the
pullets begin to lay, they should be
taken into the laying houses in order
to avoid difficulty in teaching them to
use the nests and so that their feed-
ing may be adjusted to take care of
the increased demands of egg pro-
duction.
'In so far as feeding is concerned,
in view of the importance' of the
growth period upon the eventual pro-
duction of the 'pullets, the use of
cheap feeds is poor economy. ' Dur-
ing the brooding period a chick start-
er of good quality containing cod liv-
er oil from a reliable source should
he, fed. Fine oyster shell and chick
grit should be available in hoppers.
Once the chicks are continuously out-
side in the sunlight and upon good
green range the cod 'freer oil is not
necessary and a growing ration of
lower protein level may he fed. It
is common practice to feed the same
starter mash throughout, but minus
the cod liver oil at this period, and
to feed scratch grain in gradually in-
creasing quantities thus reducing the
total protein level.
Under present conditions in the
poultry industry hygiene is exceed-
ingly important. Feeding troughs and
drinking vessels should 'be disinfected
often. They should be raised from
the floor on stands of wire mesh so
that litter cannot be scratched into
them and in order that the droppings
which may be moistened by spilled
water or mixed with spilled mash, are
screened away from them. The litter
should be changed as often as prac-
ticable and every other day during
the time of any infection such as
coccidiosis. When on range the
brooder houses should be moved to
fresh ground before the area in front
of the houses becomes contaminated.
Further detail as to management,
feeding and hygiene may be obtained
on request from the Poultry Division,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
Frozen plants should be thawed out
slowly. Remove them from direct
sun rays and keep them at a tem-
perature of from 35 to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit until thawed. If cold wa-
ter is used for thawing, the tempera-
ture must not rise above this.
One' of the most important opera-
tions in the management of a young
orchard for the first two or three
years after planting is the proper
training of the trees,
In thawing out plants. water at 50
or 60 degrees Fahrenheit will /eroh-

,When he's very young, a simple, minimum cost camera is really prefer-
able in most instances, but once he comes under the spell of real snap -
shooting, he merits --and should have -a modern camera of the better
type.
YEAR after year, the idea of eam-
eras as appropriate gifts for
birthdays, graduation and other
memorable occasions, has grown
steadily. Last year, if you'll pardon
the personal intrusion, I gave my
own mother a simple little camera
on her birthday. At first, she was
frankly skeptical. She had never
used a camera, always relying on
my sometimes unreliable self. She
was sure she would never master
that camera.... Now it goes with
her everywhere, much to our mutual
joy.
To spore folks, I wouldn't dream
of giving a camera. They're not
enough interested in other folks and
places and life in general to get any
fun out of it.
But there are others -the major-
ity -to whom a camera would mean
much.
What kind of camera? It depends
entirely on the kind of person who is
to receive it. Every youngster should
have a chance at a camera, but only
of the simplest, most inexpensive
sort. By "inexpensive" I mean cam-
eras costing from, spy, one to five
dollars. They should be of any of
the standard makes, using film
available everywhere.
Of course, if you have a, young
friend who has shown more than
average interest in picture snaking
and has outgrown his simple little
box camera, you can provide vast
happiness by presenting him - or
her -with a better camera.
Once you get above the five to ten,
dollar class, the variety of dameras
to be had is bewildering.. Of recent
years there has 'cion a trentttenrlb9,tt
increase in the use deli -called "Pie
cision" cameras -small cameras,
beautifully made and equipped with
all manner of useful gadgets. Their
lenses are masterpieces, their ad-
justments more accurate than many
a professional studio camera. Nat-
urally, they cost money, plenty of
money. Beginnipg at about "$25, the
prices of these miniature cameras
range on up and up and up. If you're
really anxious to spend a hundred
dollars on a camera, you'll have no
trouble at all. However,' you can
stay in the general neighborhood of
fifty dollars and get some amazingly
beautiful cameras. By "beautiful" I
mean something so expertly design-
ed and constructed that there's
sheer delight in handling it.
Many of the miniature, precision
cameras use very small -size film.
The idea is that the small • pictures
are kept as records, while enlarge-
ments of the best shots are used by
the proud owners to show what
they've been doing.
Modern, fine-grain film, by the
way, makes this procedure possible.
You need not, of eourse, consider
the miniature camera in your gift
hunting. For the average person you
can select a camera with a reason-
ably good lens -one that's rated at
01.6.3 or even f.4.5 -and uses a film
big enough so that enlargements are
not always necessary. The faired
"post -card size" camera is a favor-
ite and will probably remain sol.
There's a reason.
If it has been several year's itinee:a,`:
you last looked at car s'ls0
around juet for the futt of tlh;
Tiiscoter that things have been.
