ONTARIO • xt4a�+1�� FRANCIS EVERTON (Continued from lastt week) ,The conceited littlefellow looked round brightly for approbation after the manner of •some small boy who knows he's said something rather smart. Self-satisfied little beggar Just when J Was (beginning to rather like him tool The Tundish murmur, ed something about a doctor's diag- nosis not always being quite the pig- headed business he'd described, and ?iillport, filling( up hispipe again, continued, "As I was explaining, it was in- evitable that my first suspicions •should turn to the doctor, -but there were several points that led me to think it might be a . mistake to make an immediate arrest without further investigation.• On the floor, near the bedside table, in Miss Palfreeman's room, I had picked up a tiny frag- ment of splintered glass and a good- sized diamond. "The diamond had evidently fallen out of the setting on a ring or a brooch -it might have belonged to any one -most likely to ,Miss Pal - freeman herself, but when we ,came to search the bedrooms we found no piece of jewellery from which a stone was missing. It struck me as being rather strange, that its 1'o•ss had not been advertised. Annie had heard nothing of it and none of you had questioned her about its loss. It was possible, of course, that the owner might not have noticed that it was missing, but then 1 should have ex- pected to find a damaged ring either among Miss Palfreeman's belongings or in one of the other, bedrooms. Not very much to go on, perhaps, but I felt it to' be unnatural that a dia- mond of such considerable value shot}tld 'be lost and nothing said:" .It was my turn to interrupt, and unlike ,hisprevious attitude, the lit- tle mall seemed now almost to wel- come the interruption. I could see that he was in the throes of ian'exs quisite`and .I must admit a" thor- oughly deserved -enjoyment. He was like a child, I thought, sucking its favorite sweet, and•••making it last. I tol'i , -him how I had caught Merger's et earching the stairs for a six- pence that Annie found for her later on, and how my half -awakened sus- picions had been allayed by the find. Then the Tundish informed us that he too had seen her searching, but in his case on the floor of poor Stel- la's room. He had been mounting the stairs to the upper landing,. The; door of the room was half closed, and he had seen • movements within, or had fancied that he had. But when he had pushed the door open to see what is was, he had found Margaret kneeling devoutly in prayer at the side of the bed. •Once again I was amazed at the placid doctor's powers of 'description. He was uncanny. He described the little incident 'in the fewest possible simple words, but like the bold strokes of a master they made the picture live. Margaret, on hands end knees, half frantic, searching the floor for her incriminating diamond -then a sudden creak on the stairs, and the doctor gently pushing open the door to find her kneeling in prayerful attitude at the side of Stel- la's bed -an attitude, surely, to make angels weep and Sapphire jealous. The little man 'smoked thought- fully for a few minutes, rearranged `the cushions at the back of his chair, and continued. "Yes, it wasp fortunate, very, that finding of the diamond on the bed- room floor. It might so easily have been trodden into the carpet. Luck was on the side of justice' then. And again luck was with us when, quite by accident, I found that the little splinter of glass came from the' stop- per be the bottle of Chinese poison. Have you ever examined it carefully, doctor?" The Tundish shook his head. "It's a really wonderful piece of work. The glass ie, very thin and fragile and is doubled back under- neath the curving irregular 'top, curl- ing inwards again close to the pro ,;ection that fits the neck of the bottle itself. It was from this. point that the tiny splines was missing. By the merest-• chance, I happened to held the 'bottle up to the light and look up underneath the stopper when we were in the dispensary together. Later 1 found that my little fragment fitted it exactly, "I argued that had the doctor add- ed the poison to the draught, the addition would have been made when it was prepared. "Again, that bedroom key requir- ed explanation..+ You might just cote ceivably have returned upstairs and have thrown the glass amongst the iivy on the roof, and • having locked the door, lied to Mr. Jeffcock about it -it was possible that you might have done that in order to throw suspicion on to some one else -abut I could think of no satisfactory ex- planation that would account for your leaving the key in your own coat pocket. • An oversight, it might have been, but even at that early stage of our acquaintance, dropped bottle stoppers and glaring oversights did not seem to fit you, doctor, • added to "my satisfaction. And if 1 had known what Miss Palfreeman's uncle has since told me, the inquiry Would. hardly have been necessary at all." • -•• The Tundish, who had been sitting quietly in his corner of the window seat, , with his ' hands clasped round one knee, became suddenly alert. "Ailed it was hardly necessary for Ma: Crawferd to discuss my affairs, I Very much wish that he had not." "Oh, come now, doctor, a detec- tive's .mind is choke full of c'u'riosity, and it Was only natural for any one (seated. at that !inquiry lto• wonder what,it was that .had caused Miss Palfreman's father to icomhnit sui- cide, and what part he imagined you had played hi his disaster: All that Mr.•.,Crawford"told me when 'I pressed him for ififorsnation was , that now that his niece, was dead there was na longer any need for secrecy; that in his opinion it' had been absurd, in the circumstances, to keep it secret at all, and that if matters went a- gainst yell, he could and would give certain information that would; throw a very different. light on the affair." The Tundisis hesitated. For once he,.xlooked Alsturbed and at a loss. "Yes, it is quite tri a that every one who could have been damaged by the story is dead, but even so, I do not like giving explanations cif my own conduct at their expense. However, as (briefly as I can, and in the strict- est confidence, I will give you the outline of tate unhappy story. Miss Palfreeman's Mother was a very' 'beautiful and charming woman, and like all beautiful and charming wo- men who are stationed at the world's •oubpoets, she was _subject to more than her share of ,temptation. She was soon the centre of the English speaking colony in Shanghai. She got badly into • debt and stole and sold some of her husband's ' official papers in order to save herself from catastrophe. But she might have saved herself the trouble and have taken her debts to her .:Maker, for y a few days after the papers Were missed she was taken seriously ill of the complaint from which she died. My,•,friend, her husband, loved her.. The papers were lost beyond re- covery. Circumstances were such -that thbulg{h he suspected me of the theft he could not •make any open. accusa- tion, or hope to substantiate it if he d(d." The doctor paused for a few min- utes, obviously pondering what fur- ther details he should give us. The light had nearly gone, and I could just make out the strong outline of his clear•cut face from where I sat at the end of ,the window sill `,oppos- ite to him. The wind was rising and the ram was beating against the win- dow now, the drops collecting in lit- tle rivuletsand streams that wrig- gled downthe panes. Then he add- ed in his quiet, unemotional voice, "I attended her in her last hours, and at death's door she confessed what she had done. For the sake of her peace of mind, and for. the sake of my friend, I promised that • her secret should be kePt. I did not know until yesterday that she had previously made a similar confession to her bra- ther in writing. Well, that, briefly, is the story, and that is why I could not be mere explicit about the quarrel with Stella's father and her natural dislike for me." - Ethel, what did you think, I won- der, of the man of your choice, as you sat there on the settee by Jan- et's side in the fast fading light. To me, it came in a sudden flash of en- lightenment, the reason for the im- pressive power of this unemotional, unassuming man,. Bedelock, funda- mental, essential honesty was the 'one foundation of his quiet strength. 'A rock on which he stood deriding fear and all the petty evils that beset the half-and-halfer. T, felt a flush of shame, that I could have allowed my amateurish reasoning to besmirch my belief in such a one. My sheets of notes, and mica table of relative guilt, which • I still carried in my pocket, scoffed at me aloiid. But for you, Ethel, what a glow of happiness his words must have brought to youl Of all of us you alone haae trusted him through thick and thr'ou:gh thin. You had overdrawn your account at the bank of blind belief, and your lover had met the debt and paid you batik in fell. No wonder your eyes were pght. "Anyhow, I decided that in all the ci"rcumstances I ought to give you the (benefit of the doubt, but that was about all I had to, go on when I se- cured your profnise that you would submit to a voluntary confinement if I held my hand. It • never occur- red to me that I might he putting you all in danger. True, the key of the poison cupboard was still miss- ing, but I had no reason to antici- pate any general attempt at slaugh- ter. "Before the joint conference -in the dining room, at which I succeeded in achieving suoh universal unpopular- ity, I became mere than ever salis- fied that my decision• had been the right este, and the inquiry itself only 'AS f1 b J:r i+ dhp There was another, little pause when The Tundish had finished' speak- ing. We none of us ma any com- ment and Allport again continued his explanations. "As you already ki}ow, I. found some burnt papers ins Miss Hunter's bedroom grate,• but you did not know that there was one unburnt fragment among the rest. Quite unmistakably. it • was the corner of a photograph, and. fortunately it was the corner bearing .the photographer's name. A little later in the drawing rooms -- and Inspector Brown were there, JefFcock-and once again, by the sheerest piece of good fortune, I caught sight of exactly the same name across the corner of a photograplr;of Mr. Bennett that stood on the top of the piano. "It had (been taken' in Sheffield by Parberry, and 'the letters r -b -e -r -r -y had straggled across the corner of the bit I had found in the bedroom gtate, and allowing for the treat- ment it had received. --the texture and quality of the heavy . mounts were both the same -d could not be cer- tain that the ,photo Miss Hunter had ;burnt was a duplicate of the one on the piano, but somehow I felt that it mightbe, and I decided to find out m, re about it if I could, and as far as 1 might, the extent to which' the two had been acquainted. u I did find out a certain amount froni my direct questions to Miss Hunter, but it was to ,.Mr. Bennett that I was chiefly indebted, though I put no question to him. You will re- member that one of the questions I asked you, Mies Hanson, was whe- ther' the doctor had ever shown any sign that he might perhaps be at- tracted by 1VIi'ss Palfreemant" A quiet "Yes" came from Ethel's corner of the settee. "'When I asked that question, Mr. Bennett quite unnlistakably took a suddenly increased interest in the proceedings. 1 concluded that he • had had a special interest in Miss Pal - freeman himself, and I felt that there might still be a motive if 'Miss Hun- ter had committed' the crime and not the doctor. Please don't imagine that I actually arrived at any con- clusions OAsuch vague' and shadowy material: I merely felt that the whole affair required further scrut- iny." "But, even now,- I don't think I understand why she burnt the photo. Why did she do it?" Ethel queried. "She burnt the photo ''because she didn't want it to be found among her belongings. 'She -Would feel that it would be too patent that her old love affair with Mr. Bennett still sur- lviveds so far as she *as concerned, and that if it came to light that Mr. Bennett had been obviously attract- ed by Miss Falfreeman, it might sug- gest a possible motive." 1"But she knew that .both. Dr. Wal- lace and I knew exactly ho'w fond she has .always been of Ralph," Ethel ob- jected. "She couldn't count on our not. telling you." "No, that is quite true, b•lbhink that it was a reasonable action for her to take, all the same. For her to bring a photo with her on a short visit was a complete admission of her feelings. It was definite. The mere fact that .the finding of the unburnt corner did help to convince , me that° she was involved, proves that she was slight in what she did, if only she had taken more 'care." Ethel nodded her agreement. ' "I was dissatisfied, too, even then, about Miss 'Summerson, I don't know whether it struck you in the same way, but to me, there was something unnatural about her behaviour when she told us she had lost the key. I was convinced that she was keeping information back. "Very much against the inspector's wishes, then, I had made up my mind before the inquiry that I would• not immediately arrest the doctor, and after the inquiry, -and in spite of what came out about the practical joke and the quarrel with Miss Pal - freeman's father, I saw no real rea- son to alter my decision. I quite made up my mind to leave you undi- vided, and to put an unknown agent into the house who could not be sus- pected of having ,any connection •with the police." I saw my darling bend her grace- ful head lower over the cat.' "What made you change your mind then?" Ethel asked. "He didn't change his mind," Janet replied. I had • almost forgotten that Ethel and The Tundish Were both of them unaware of Janet's connection with Allport, and even after sheshad spok- en they were a little time before they grasped what her words implied. It was The Tundish who tumbled to it first. "Well, then, Mrs. Kenley," he said pleasantly, "we are more indebted ,to you than ever. You relieved us . of Torquemada here in the chair, you saved us from Aunt Emmeline, you probably• prevented us all from cut- ting each' other's throats, and all the time you were solving the mystery that had entangled us .so completely in its meshes." "But I don't begin to understand. You are Bob Kenley's wife, aren't you? You must be because - of mother's letter-.-" Ethel, was pro- perly bewildered, and took some con- vincing that Janet could be anything sitter than she had pretended, but ultimately all was explained, and I was relieved to see .:.that Janet had not ie any way lost prestige by what bad come to light. "With Mrs, Kenley safely installed in the house, I went over to Sheffield to make what inquiries I could. I was soon satisfied that there had been something in the nature of a love affair between Miss Hunter and Mr. Bennett. I also learnt that she had been asked to resign from the school -in which she taught. That was on the Thursday morning. In the even- ing When I got back here, I 'was met with the disturbing information that the Chinese flagon had been faand to ,contain nothing but water, and that the poison itself was still in the murderer's private possession. You will see at once thatthat al- most surely cut out the doctor, unless he was being very, very ,clear and had removed it just to make" me come to the conclusion I did. "I had practically made up,es my mind to break up the party and rely on obtaining further evidence in some other way, but Janet overpersuaded me, and we took Mr. Jeffcock partly into our confidence so that she should have some one always at hand in case of need." When' I remembered how I had caught them behind the garage, it amused me, his reference to taking me into their confidence. I sinned to myself, and I thought that Janet was equally amused, but, I made no comment. "This is what I imagine actually happened. Mr. Bennett's obvious at- tentions to 'Miss Pelfreemann aroused Miss Hunter's jealousy. Who knows what castles sho had built, on the foundation that they were staying in the same house and playing in the wile' tournament together? What t hopes she may not have had with. re- gard -.to their reunion? Perhaps at the liaychoIogical moment she heard her eina ,: or )7e*1?ll;AP u,l .

I think that the .poison. must have ?lien taken from 'thio env - board and•added to the draught Some time betweex�' sits and seven on the Tuesday. • VPla1'at made her decide to keep the 'sett, I can't explain, neither have .I found out where she put it. But it would be easy to hide. For instance, she could haav(e put I1 in one of her scent battles and have hidden it in the garden. "On the Wednesday morning after. the murder was discovered she prob- ably lost her nerve to some extent, and thought she might add to her safety by .throwing away the glass and putting the key of the (bedroom door in the doctor's pocket. As luck would have it, the doctor unfortunate- ly drew particular attention to the fact -that he hadn't locked the door. '"When Mr. Dane stated at/dhe in- quiry' that the doctor had laid un- natural stress on .the fact that you all of you might have been, upstairs unknown to the rest during the Tuesday evening, that probably de- cided her later actions, and explains the second notice, and .the hiding of the newspaper in Mr. Jeft'eock's bed- room." "That still puzzles me," I exclaim- ed. , "Why ion earth didn't she hide the 'paper in the doctor's room in- stead of in mine?"' "I think that she wanted to spread the suspicion," Allport answered me after a pause. "And it wasn't a bad plan either. She had already put the medicine .glass inside one - of your socks before she threw it out of the window among the ivy on the roof.' But for accidents such as the unburnt corner of photograph, the splinter of glass, and the diamond, we might have been sadly at sea; and it may interest you to• know, Mr. Jeffcock, that for a period you were the prime favourite of our good friend Inspec- tor Brown," "But why didn't you suspect me in the same way that you suspected Margaret, just at first, I •mean?" Ethel asked him. (Continued next week.) Balancing theMenu Balancing the menu is a favorite sulbject with food lecturers and writ- ers. In fact, the subject is so much in the limeligih!t, that the homemak- er who considers all that is said finds it difficult to cut a straight path through the forest of hints•, plans and suggestions for serving balanced meals. While there is no" need' for an ela- borate system, there is also no magic scheme of food selection. The near- est approach to magic lies in the statement that "good •squiare meals make the ibest rounded diet." This simply means that' in three meals a day, 'made up from a good variety of foods, you will find satisfaction and adequate nutribion with very lit- tle special attention to balancing. These few details of menu balancing do require some thought in the be- ginning but, with experience become automatic 'or second nature. Here are a few concrete sugges- tions to help you round -out your square 'meals: 1. For arequate nutrition - sup- ply essential minerals and regulating foods by serving each day: 1. At leaslt one pint of whole milk per person (part may be used on cereals or in cooking). 2. One egg per person (may be used in cooking or as a meat substitute). 3. One raw fruit or vegetable or canned tomatoes. 4. One leafy Vegetable, fruit or bran cereal for ."bulk." I.I.. For satisfaction -- 1. !Consider the ,nutritional needs of your family as to age. activity, growth, the climate and season. 2. Cater to food habits, likes and dislikes of the group where - ever practical but encourage a taste for a widely varied diet. 'l. Seiave plea.s'ing meals that are "filling,."! with (a) Sufficient energy iYi•ods=- cereals and other starches, sweets and fats. (b) - A substantial meat dish for dinner and a lighter meat or s'uibstitfite for supper or lunch- eon. ' (c) Foods with contrast in flavor, texture and color. (d) Desserts that fit the meal and make a good last impres- sion. For inteirest and variety - 1. Never repeat a menu without some. change. 2, -Plan carefully to' avoid left - evens. When using Ilett -overs, snake them over into something different from the original dish. Avoid over -cooking but be sure the food is thoroughly heated. Use extra care in seasoning and nerving°to make left -overs appe- tizing., 3S Study the local market and take advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables. 4. Keep lists of fruits, vege- tables, meats, salads, breads, desserts that are suitable for your menus. Go over these of- ten for new food combinations. IIT.

When packing eggs for shipment, a go'od practise is to brush,the hand lightly over each filler as it is pack - to make sure that no eggs are pro- truding above the top of the filler. Such eggs almost invariably will break in transit. Before placking a case, examine the bottom and sides. I•f any nails are loose or have fallen out, replace them. Notification of Animal Disease Horses, mules and asses of all ag- es and classes are. liable to contract any of the _serious contagious' dis- eases of the skin known as mange, scabies or itch. Mange is scheduled :finder the Animals Contagious Dis- ease Act, which requires that every owner, breeder, dealer or veterinary surgeon suspecting the existence of this disease shall immediately notify the nearest veterinary inspector. Treatment is carried out under quar- antine, the following mixture being used officially for hand treatment un- der the supervision of an inspector : Sulphur, 2 'pounds; oil of tar, 8 ounc- es; raw linseed oil, 1 gallon. Peat and Muck as Sources of Organic Matter When the farm manure supply is not sufficient to maintain the organ.^ matter content of the soil at a sat- isfactory level, peat or muck may be used to furnish that important con- stituent. The best way to employ these materials as•a source of organ- ic matter. is to first eornipost them with manure for a .period of four to six months before application •or to use them in the air drieciecondition as a litter to soak up the lig d man- ure in and ai&out the stable. add- ed advantage is these treatm nts is that the nitrogen of the peat and muck is, to a large degree, rendered available for plant use.

Snapshoot When You Go. In later years, when you are an alumnus, you will get your greatest enjoy- ment as you look back over the pictures you snapped at school. WITH the opening of schools a new season arrives for snap - shooting and what a paradise for the boy •or girl who owns a camera. Whether you go to a little country school with one room or a great uni- versity your opportunity for snap - shooting Is unlimited, providing you use your eyes and the proper amount of good judgment. Just as a news- paper reporter develops a "nose for news" just so you should develop an "eye for snapshots." There are, of course, the obvious shots of the school building or build- ings, as the case may be, and you will want them; but what about pic- tures of new classmates, teachers, old friends, baseball and football practice, the basketball teani 1eav- frig for a game out of town and many other interesting story -telling pic- tures? It doesn't make any -difference what kind of a camera you have you ean take pictures under certain conditions with a dollar box, camera that, for record purposes, are abouA, as good as those made with an ex- pensive folding model. Did, you ever think of taking ac- tio, gictures with a bob. camera? It can be done. Suppose you are sittingg, in the grandstand watching= excit- ing football or baseball game. You anticipate an exciting play -full of action. If the light is, good and you are two hundred or more feet from the scene of action you''will get your picture. At that distance, of course, your images will be small but an en- largement of the point of interest in. the snapshot will give you a picture you will be proud to show to your friends. When taking action pictures with a box camera don't snap the picture while the subject is whizzing direct- ly across your line of vision. A1wp,y shoot at •an angle 'of approximatel'e" 45 degrees. For those/who are not, familiar with diaphragm openings and shut- ter speeds let me explain that a box camera opened to its largest "stop," or lens opening, is comparable to approximately 1.11 on d folding cam- era and the shutter works at ap- proximately 1/25 of a second. If you are fortunate enough to own a camera with a fast lens and shirt - ter, that is a different story. Sup- pose, for instance, that your camera has.an Y.6.3 or f:4.5 lens with shutter speeds up to 1/300 of a second. You are a fortunate person for you can get much closer to the scene of ac- tion. Open the diaphragm to its ,largest aperture, set your s'butter speed at 1/100, 1/200 or 1/300, de- pending on the speed of the action and fire away. In school you study and experi- ment to gain knowledge of your sub- ject. The same system applies to snapshooting. Study your camera and experiment and you will find it will pay you profitable dividend•§ in. interesting, story -telling pietureu that you will enjoy looking atfor years to conic.
