Vance with ;District Attorney Markham go to the Keating ;home there to meet Sergeant Heath of the - Homicide Bureau,... -Kenyon Kent- iag and Mrs. Keating, the bro- ther and wife of the kidnapped) man, Present also is Eldridge Fleel, the Keating family atborn✓ ey. The first evidence casts some doubt as to .the genrui.rleness of t h e crime. Vance examines Weems the Kenting butler. Fur- ther 'search shows that Kasper probably did not go 'down the ladder found outside the house. Vance re-examines Kenyon, Keat- ing. Kenon'''Kenting fidgeted a bit and shifted his position in the chair. Ile did not answer at once. But et- length he said, in a half-hearted tone, "I would prefer •not to go into that, Inas- much as• I regard it as 'a personal matter, and I cannot see that it has any bearing on the present •situation." "That is a point for us to decide, I believe, Vance said in a peculiarly hard voice, "We should like you to answer the question:' "I''m afraid, sir," put in Markham, in his most aggressive official manner, "we must insist .that you answer the question." "Very weIl," he said •.resignedly. "1f you insist. On Monday my brother aslaed me for a large sum of money -in fact, he was persistent about it, and became somewhat hysterigal when I refused him:" "Did the state what he required this money for?" asked Vance. "Oh, yes," the man said angrily. "The usual thing -gambling and un- warranted debts connected with some woman." "Would you be more specific as to the gambling debts?" pursued' Vance. "Welt, you know' the sort of thing." Keating again shifted in his chair. "Roulette, black -jack, the birdcage, cards but principally horses. He owed "'several bookmakers some', pre- posterous amount." "Do you happen to know the names of any of these book -makers?" • "No, I don't." `-What was so urgent` about this as to produce hysterics?'s "The fact is," the other went on, "Kasper told me the men were un- 8chupulous and dangerous, and that he feared for himself if he did not pay them off immediately. He said be had• already been threatened." "And you d•eaied your brother the money?" "I had' to," asserted Kenting. "The amount would almost have'•beggared -the estate, what with ese much tied up in what we've come t6 call 'froz- en assets.' " "Did your brother approach Mr. Flee, about the matter?" Vance ask- ed. "Yes, he did," the obh,er returned. "Whenever I refuse him anything he gees immediately to Fleet. As a mat- ter of fact, Fleet has always been more sympathetic with-Kaspar than I have. )tut Kaspar's demand trhis'time was utterly outrageous and Fleet turned him down as definitely as I did." "Has Mrs. Kenning any' money, of her own?" Vance asked unexpected- ly. "Nothing -absolutely nothing!" the man assured him. "She.. is ,entirely dependent upon what Kasper gives her -which, of course, means some part of what I allow him from the es- t._t e." "In view of this morning's occur- rence," suggested Vance, "it maybe that your brother was not unduly ex- aggerating about the necessity for this money." "That is a horrible thought, sir," he said, half under his breath. "When you receive further instruc- tions regarding' the ransom money, wihat do you intend to do about it -- avoided it purposely, for I sans. afraid € enl ht create 'an erron ous impres- sion " "How much Was it?" snapped Mark. ham, "Well, the truth is," Keating stam- mered with evident reluctance, "Kea. far wanted fifty thousand -dollars.. Sounds incredible, doesn't it?" "I imagined that was the figure," Vance murmured, "Thanks awfully, Mr. Kenting, We sha'n't bother you any more just now, except that I should like to know whether 'Mrst- Kenting's, mother, Mrs. Failoway, still lives here in the Purple House?" yea," Keating said with dis- gruntled emphasis, "She still occu- pies the front suite on the third floor with fuer son., ,Mrs- Keating's brother, But the woman is crippled now and can get about only with a cane." "What about the son?" asked Vance. "He's the most incompetent young whippersnapper I've ever known. He always seems to be sickly _ and has never earned so much as a penny. He's perfectly content to live here with his mother at the expense of the Kenting estate." The man's manner now had something of resentment and venom in it. Vance rose. "Would ,you be so good as .to take us upstairs'?" the ask- ed. "I'll be glad to," Kenting said, and started for the door. We followed hint. Mrs. Falloway was a women be- tween sixty and sixty-five years old. She had an intelligent and canny ex- pression, and her features were large and striking. She impressed me as a woman with an iron will, but also with an innate sense of loyalty and sympathy. When, we entered hen room that morning Mrs. Falloway was sitting placidly in a wicker armchair in front of the large bay window. At an old and somewhat dilapidat- ed) walnut secretary sat a thin, sickly youth, with straight dark hair which fell forward over his forehead, and large, prominent features. The pale youth held a magnifying glass in one hand and: was moving it back and forth over a page of exhibits in a stamp album. , "These genelemen wisrh to speak to you, Mrs. Falloway," Kenyon, Keating said in an unfriendly tone. When he had gone, Vance took a few steps toward the woman with• an air of solicitation. "Perliaps you remember me, Mrst Falloway-�" "Oh, very well, Mr. Vance. It is very pleasant to see you again. Do sit down in that armchair there, and try to imagine that this meager room is a Louis -Seize' salon." Vance bowed formally. "Any roomy you grace, Mrs. Fallo- way," the. said, "becomes the sae -3t charming of salons." He did not ac- cept her invitation toy, sit down, how- ever. "What do you make of this situa- tion?" she went on. "And do you really think anything has happened to my son-in-law?" Her voice w•ae hard and low-pitched. "I really cannot say just yet," Vance answered. "We were hopin' you night be able to help us," and the woman acknowledged the intro- ductions with dignified graciousness. "This is my eon, Fraim," she said, waving with a bony hand toward the ansemic young man at the des. "Philatelist?" asked Vance, studying the youth. ' "I collect American stamps." There was no enthusiasm In the lethargic voice, and Vance did not pursue the subect. "fed you hear anything in the house early this morning?" Vance went on. Fraim Falloway shook his head without any show of interest'. "I didn't hear anything," the said. "I was asleep." Vance turned to the mother. "Dirt you hear"anything, Mrs. Fallo- way?" "I hear Kasper come in -he woke me up banging the front door shut." "He woke me.up banging on the door", said Mrs. Falloway with bitterness. that is to say, just what is, your feel- ing in the matter?" "As a brother," fie said slowly, "what can ,I do? I suppose I must manage somehow to get the money and pay it,. I can't let Kasper be mur- dered , . . It's a frightful situa- tion." . " "Ies--quite, agreed Ve, . "And then there's M lelaine.

"No. But I earl) give you msny rea- sons why any one should not *rich to kidnali lane" she returned with a hard, intolerant laok. "He is not an admirable - character," she went on, "nor a pleasant person to have around. And -i -eegret the day my daughter married' him..

"In that case," Vance returned po- litely, "I think we had 'better be go- ing down. tairs:a . - The woman picked up her cane and struggled to her feet, despite Vance's protestations, "I wish I could •help you," she paid with sudden kindliness. "But I am so well isolated these days with my infirmity. Walking, you know, is quite a painful process for me. I'm afraid I'm growing old." In the hall Vance waited till the door was. shut.

"He simply looks file a weakling to me." "Oh, yes. Doubtless. As you say, devoid of stamina. And full of re- sentment against his fellowmen and es eciali p y against his brother-in-law," When we had reached the lower hall Vance went immediately toward the drawing room and stepped inside. Mrs. Keating, who seemed perturb- ed and ill at ease, sat rigidly upright on the small sofa where we had first seen her. Her brother-in-law sat be- side her, looking at her with a. solici- tous, comfortaing air. Fleet was leaning back in an easy ()hair near the desk. "I know you told us, Mrs. Keating," Vance began, "that you could not de- scribe the men who called on your husband several nights ago. I wish, however, you would make an effort to give us at least a general description of them." "The fact is, Mr. Vance, I paid lit- tle attention to them, but I know that one of them was a large man and seemed to m,e to thave a very thick neck. And, as I recall, there was a lot of grey in his hair; and he may have had a clipped mustache." ' "Your description, mradram," remark- ed Vance, nodding his head, "corre- sponds to the appearance of a certain c'cmnlleman I have in mind; and if it is the Same person, your impres- sion regarding the clipped mustache is quite correct-" "Oh, who was he, Mr- Vance? Do you think you know who is respons- ible for this terrible thing?" N9," he said, "I'm deuced sorry I cannot offer any hope in that partic- ular quarter, If this: man who call- ed on your (husband is the one I think it is, he is merely a good-natured book -maker who is at times aroused to futile anger when his clients fail to pay their debts.

On these rock gardens can be laid out with level stretches of grass in between. Rock gardens are made to resemble miniature alpine' ranges, and in thein alpine flowers are grown. These are usually tiny short, sprawly things, that require little moisture during most of the year. They are specially listed in loaf pan. Lay the hard cooked eggs in a row down the centre of the sal- mon, end to end. Cover with the re- maining salmon and bake in a moder- ate, 350 deg. F. oven for about fifty; minutes, until the loaf is firm. This; is very attractive when it is sliced, for in the centre of each sUee there will be a circle of hard cooked egg. Serve with baked potatoes and •sweet, chopped pickle. - Rabbit Stew Rabbit is apt to be insipid in. Savor but this method of stewing makes it appetizing have th'e rabbit cut into joints. Wash and dry them, then coat thickly in well -seasoned flour, with a dessertspoon chopped parsley added to it.

Put the pieces, of rabbit and two large sliced onions into the bacon fat and fry un- til nicely browned, adding more bac- on fat or dripping if necessary. Put rabbit and onion on the bacon. Put a good tablespoon flour into the fry- ing pan, and cools it in the fat, then add slowly a pint of stock or water well flavored with meat extract. When thick and smooth pour over the rabbit, cover closely and cook for two )hours gently. Then put in the following savory balls, increasing the heat at the same time so that it does not go off the boil- Mix together one cup breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons chopped suet.

There are about 200 breeders with some 300 sows taking -part in advanc- ed registry. Sixteen breeders have entered pigs in a carcass competition to be held at the Yorkshire Field Day, O.A.C., June 14th and 15th, and valuable prizes are being offered.

Nothing seems quits as suitable for this purpose as rough flag stones., though a little finished masonry may be used,• effectively here and there for remaining walls and for sides of the steps. Perennial Flowers Even a few perennial flowers will add a feeling of permanence to' any garden. Coming on year after year they maintain interest throughout the dormant months and, because of their quick 'start they usually bloom a: ead of the other types! of flowers - •While solid perennial beds are very popular another satisfactory plan is to •have a few of ..these plants scat- tered about the garden for • early bloom and. fill in between with an- nuals. nnuals. This sort of treatment per- mits easy and. thorough cultivation all through the bed before the annuals are planted, a job that is not too easy if the bed is solid perennials. Of 'the latter there are hundreds from which to choose, but for beginners the fol- lowing can be recommended as a start: Iris in several colors and heights. Delphinium, mostly blues and pur- ples, tall for the rear of the garden: Hollyhocks, in many hues of pinks, yellows and red, very tall. Phlox, bushy, tall, late bloorninp, in pinks, whites and reds. Perennial flax in beautiful blue ; this is small - Dwarf phlox, very early, very small. Dianthus, or pinks, small, perfum- ed in pinks and reds. Oriental poppies, gorgeous reds, medium height. Peonies, medium height in pinks, whites and -reds. Columbines, bleeding _heart and Baby's Breath. `Such a planting will give variety in coloring, and bloom throughout the season Concentrate The householders with only a little land to spare sthould concentrate on those vegetables which give the big- gest returns for the smallest space occupied. Among such kinds are beans, carrots, onion, lettuce, swiss chard, spinach, cucumbers and beets. In the lesser-known vegetables are: Leeks. eggs and -pepper plants, broad beans and cos lettuce. These can all be grown in: almost any part of Can- ada.

Nol A box camera gets it with a 4 -second exposure,' Other cameras, 1 second at 1.6.3. Exposure is short because the light is near her face. IT IS surprising how little light is needed to make a picture if the light is placed close to the subject. For instance, look at the snapshot above. The only light is the 'weak Mae electric candle lamp, held about afoot from the child's face. With the lamp at that distance, a box camera loaded with supersensi- tive film can get the picture With a four -second time exposure. Lamp two feet from her, exposure would be sixteen ' seco'nds-four times as long. Lamp three feet away, expo• sure is thirtysixe seconds - nine times as long. Reason: 'When light is close up, it is concentrated on a small area. Far- ther away, the same amount of light spreads over a much larger area, and your subject gets very little of it.• The distance between the light and the camera doesn't matter. It's• the distance from light to -subject that counts. To take a picture like the 'one above, ase a frosted white bulb, and have it as near the center at the, picture as possible Such pictures• are worth, trying. Sometimes you miss -but the golall ones you get are so unusual that they justify your ex- periments. 183 John van Guilder a ,his tale 11ria w81 eats Ana titti wa4A' 36 week Istissie 4 seconds ..^ 16aaeri&.. hilt m600 Dues as ow' eln:Sea b dey ASO A - sk •O A .
