Homicide Bureau investigate the
Kenting home and question Kens
yon Kenting and Mrs. Renting,
Kaspax'p brother and wife, in the
presence of Eldridge Fleet, Keat-
ing's family . attorney. Vance
doubts the kidnapping story. He
further questions Weems the but-
ler. Mrs. Kenting's mother, Mrs. '
Falloway,, and son' Fraim Fallo-
way and Porter Quaggy, racoaa•
teur friend of Kaspar's and last
perscin to be vwith him.. All reveal
am.,,pndercurrent of hostility to
Kasper. At this time a rani
matte arrives demanding $50,000
and freedom from police interfer-
ence. Vance and Marktham con-
sult the "".lentings and Fleet, their
lawyer. It.is decided to allow the
police a free hand in dealing with
the supposed kidnappers. A ; dum-
my package is substituted for the
money and then secreted in a tree
in Central Park according to in-
structions. The police capture
Mrs. Falloway who admits to
Vance she is .really trying to fore-
stall an attempt by her • son,
Fraim, to get the Money. The wo-
man is not held and the real kid-
napper's identity remains `it mys-
tery. '
par's dirty work, He's playing a
game to get money. I tell you, I
don't believe he was kidnapped at
all " -
"Pipe down, young fella," he order-
ed. "Makin' fool statements like that,
ain't •gonna help anything."
Only .Vance seemed unruffled and
oomiposed. -- Heath had gone to the.
telephone and I could hear hien, with
'one ear, as it were, calling the Homi-
cide Bureau and giving officious in-
structions. Then he slammed down
the :receiver 'and stalked toward the
stairs.
"I want to look at that room," he
announced. "Two of the boys from
the Bureau are coming up right away.
This is a bell of a night . ." His
voice trailed off as he went up the
steps two at a time. Vance and
Markham and I had Ieft the drawing -
room and were immediately behind
Heath first tried the door -knob of
Mrs. Kenting's room, but, , as Kent-
ing had informed us, the door was
locked. He went up the hall to Kas-
par Kenting's room. The dioor here
was standing ajar ands at the far end
of the room we could see into Mrs.
Kenting's brightly lighted boudoir.
Stepping through the first 'chamber
we entered the lighted bedroom. As
Kenting had said the window facing
on the court Was wide open. Caut-
iously avoiding any contact with the
window -sill, Heath leaned out at the
window, and then turned. ertlickly
back.
"The ladder's' there, all right," he
asserted.
Vance was apparently not listen-
ing. Ile had adjusted his monocle
and was looking round the room
without any apparent shove of inter-
est. Leisurely he walked to the dress-
ing -table opposite the window and
looked down atit for •a moment. A
round eat -glass powder jar stood un-
covered at one side: the tinted grass
top was resting on its side several
inches . away. A large powder puff
lay on the floor.
Vance lifted up a small perfume
atomizer which was resting 'perilous-
ly near the edge of teedressingtaible
and preseed the bulb• slightly. He
sniffed at the spray.
"But Fraim is a good boy at heart
please believe that. He merely
lacks something—strength of body
and spirit. Perhaps."
"Quite. He's not well, Mrs. Fallo-
way. He needs medical attention.
Have you ever had a basal meta-
bolism test -made on Mw?"
The woman shook her head.
"A blood sugar?" proceeded Vance.
"The truth is, Mr..Vance, " the wo-
man said; "he bas never been exam-
ined." Then she asked quickly:
"What do you think it is?"
"I wouldn't dare to venture an opin-
ion, don't y' know, an endocrine in-
sufficiency somewhere -an inadequacy
of some -internal secretion, a definite
and prolonged hormone disturbance.
T think you should have your son
checked up. It may be something
that can be remedied" •
He scribbled something on a page
from a small note -book and, tearing
it out, band it to Mrs. Falloway.
"Here is the name and address of
one of the country's greatest endo-
crinologists. Look him up, for your
son's sake." .
The woman took °the slip of paper,
folded it and put it in one of the
large pockets of her skirt. ;
"And now," said Vance, "I think
we'll return to the drawing room.
And may you have a well-earned
night's rest."
When we re-entered the drawing -
room we found the group just as we
had left it. • ,
"There are one or two matters+--"
drawled Vance and stopped abruptly.
Then he said: "But I think Mrs.
enting should be here with us for
this discussion."
"I think, you're right, Mr. Vance,"
n- Kenting said, going toward the door.

late, performing her nightly toilet as
early as these matt,•, would indi-
cate: And yet the Beit was on in
the bedroom, and there is a certain
ageing of evidence that she had been
powdering her noee and spraying her-
self with perfume some time during
.the everting. Moreover, my dear
Markham, there are indications of
haste in. the performance of these
feminine rites, for she did not put
the perfume atomizer back where It
belongs, nor did elle stop to retrieve
the powder puff from where it had
fallen on the floor.

a wee 'bit tater at some time around
the from -witching hour of ten
o'clock,"
"All right," Markham said'. "But
what follows from all that?"
Without answering . the question,
Vance turned to Heath.
"What time, Sergeant," he asked,
"did you motif Fleaand Kenyon
Kenting' about the arrangements for
to -night?"
"Oh,—I should say---" Heath
thought amoment. "Round six
o'clock. Maybe a little after,"
"And where did. you find these gen-

"Well, I called Fleet at his home
and he wasn't there yet. But I left
word for him and he called me back
in a little while. But I didett think
to ask him where he was. And Kent-
ing was here."
Vance again addressed Heath.
"I'm afraid, Sergeant, your finger-
print men and your photographers
and your busy boys from the Hemi-
cidie Bureau are going to draw a blank
here."
"I still want to know," persisted
Markham, "what all this time -table

"It 'means deviltry, Markham. It

"But we can't just sit back," said
Markham in, a dispirited voice. "Isn't
there some step you can suggest?"
"I'll get Madelaine myself."
He bustled from the roam as he
finished speaking, and we heard him
going up the stairs. A few moments
later we could 'hear his sharp, re-
peated knocking on a door. Then
there was a long silence, and. the
sound of a door being opened hur-
riedly. Vance leaned forward in his
chair and seemed to be waiting ex-
pectantly.
A feet* minutes later Keating came
rushing down the stairs. -He stopped
in the doorway, glaring at us with
wide-open eyes.

Seeding, the use of a nurse .crop, and•
lastly, the care of the field Slurring,

• Anmistrong, Division of •Forage Plants,
Centeml Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
Good drainage,. befit for eurfaoe and
snib>3pil .is the first requiremenC for
suoeessfui alfalfa production. Alfalfa
yields are ppm on water-logged . soils
and Weeds, areddifleult to control. The -
soil should not be ,markedly acid.
Many soils in eastern Canada require
an application of h'hie to correct the
acid condition. The field should be
worked' up' into a fine seed -bed and
care taken, that itis free -from weeds
and grass. Alfalfa is a poor weed
fighter in the seedling' stage although
when once established it • vvill--.m_ain-
tain a good stand for yeare without
danger of weed or grass encroach-
ment. a„J
.The selection of 'good, seed is in, -
portant. at should gertminate 'well
and be free from weed jn nitoities..
The grower has now a wide choice of
suitable' hardy varieties. At present,
Canadian Variegated and Grimm,' be-
sides being hardy and good yielders
are the easiest available and cheap-
est. If the field to be sown has not
previously grown alfalfa or sweet
clover it is advisable to inoculate the,
seed. Most seed companies now sups
ply inoculin with instructions for its
use.
Alfalfa may be seeded early in the
spring with a nurse Drop or later in
the season without a uurse crop., The
former method is' reconimeeded for
eastern Canada and the latter for the
Prairie•. Provinces. A seeding rate..:of
10-15 pounds per acre is sufficient.
The best 'machine for needing is a
grass seeder attapheel to the grain
drill with provisibn for conducting
the seed into the shoes or discs. If
the mioisture conditions are good the
depth of seeding should not exceed
one inch. •
The use of a nurse crop where the
seasonal precipitation is ample is
very helpful in checking weed growth
and providing shade for .the alfalfa
seedlings. Barley and early maturing,
stiff-strawed oat varieties are the best
nurse crop's..* These should be seeded
at about two-thirds the usual rate. If
the weather conditions are such that
the curse crop lodges before matur-
ity it should be cut off and utilized',
for green feed.
After removing the nurse crop the
alfalfa: stand should net require any
special attention other than taking
the precaution not to pasture it dur-
ing the fall as this may induce win-
ter -killing. A good top growth of 6
to 8 •inches Is beneficial in trapping a
snow cover. If seeded without ; a
nurse crop it may be necessary to
mow off weed growth before it has a
chance to seed, in which case the
cutting bar of the mower should be
set high' enough to avoid injury to
the alfalfa. seedlinge. •
"Emerald," he murmured. "I'm
sure this was not •the lady's personal
preference in perfumes. Blondes know
better, don't en know. Emerald is
suitable only for brunettes, especial-
ly those with olive complexions and
abundant hair: . Very interest-
hen"
Vance then went to the door and
inspected it briefly.
"The night latch isn't on," the mur-
mured, as if to himself. "And the
turn -bolt hasn't been thrown. Door
locked with a key. And no key in
the keyhole."
"What are you getting at, Vance?"
demanded Markham. "What if there
is no key there? The door could
have been locked and the key remov-
ed
"Quite so --theoretically," returned
Vance. "But when one Locks oneself
in a bedroom with a key, one usual-
ly leaves the key in the lock." ,
"Well, yes. But it won't help mluch.
I propose that first we ask one or
two questions of the gentlemen down-
stairs. And then I propose that we
go into the yard and take a look at
the ladder." .
"And after that I propose that we
go home and bide our time."
When we reached the drawing -
room we found all four of its occu-
pants anxious and alert.
"Have you learned anything?" ask-
ed Fraim Falloway, Oa a semihysteri-
cal falsetto. •
"We're not through locking• round
yet," Vance returned placatingly. "We
hope to know something definitely
very soon, Just now, however, 1
wish to ask each of you gentlemen
a question."
"What is your favorite perfume,
Mr. Fleel?"
The man stared at him in blank
astonishment, and f am sure that had
be been in a courtroom, he would
have appealed instantly to the judge
with the usual incompetent -irrelevant -
and -immaterial objection. However,
he managed a condescending smile
and replied:
"I have no favorite perfume -- 1
know nothing about such things. It's
true, I send bottles of perfume to my
women clients at Christmas, instead
of the conventional flower -baskets,
but I always leave the selection to
my secretary."
Do you regard Mrs. Kenting as
one of your women clients?" Vance
continued.
"Naturally," answered the lawyer.
"By the by, Mr. Fleet, is your sec-
retary blonde or brunette?"
"I don't know. I .supose you'd call
her a brunette."
"Ma thanks," said Vance curtly.
"W t is your favorite scent, Mr.
Palle ay?"

He went across the room and into
the bathroom. Tihis room too was
brightly lit. He glanced at the long
metal cord hanging from the electric

FLOWER GARDEN HINTS
Bright Poultry Outlook
Prospects appear bright for profit-
able egg and poultry production over
the next several months. For this
reason farmers and commercial poul-
trymen would be well advised to pur-
chase day-old coticks '.xit"nut delay ns
such chicks are being sold at a rea-
sonable price. -
1)he egg market is teported as un-
ually strong at present. In .place of
the usual drop in egg prices immedi-
ately following Easter, prices this
year have risen in the past week.
More inquiries are being received
from Great Britain for export, eggs
than for several ,years past. The pro-
epective market for poultry meat as
even more encouraging, present prie-
rs being itigher than for several years
at.d puolttry stocks in storage being
rn'ch lower than in 1937. Sales of
clicks in the United States are re-
ported as being about 8 per cent. -low-
er than last year, which would point
to a shortage of both eggs and poul-
try meat later in the season in the
Stares. This in turn affects the Cana-
dian market.
Present prospects for crops both in
the East and West are the best for
several years, and while it is too early
to predict with certainty how they
will turn out, present ,00nditions give
some promise that poultry feed will
be reasonable in price over the re-
r.tainder of the Year.
Practically all of the larger 'com-
mercial poultry farmers are raising
substantial numbers of chicks this
year, and from present indications it
would appear that poultry could now
be profitably raised on many farms.
Now that Spring is here all dead
stems should be cut off the plants,
leaves and broken branches raked up
and the garden tidied up.. Plants that
were put in last autumn should be
examined and any that have been
heaved out of the ground by frost
should be replanted or pressed firmly
into the soil. If left, the roots will
probably dry out and die. The lawn
should be well raked, advises Miss I.

Farm Accounting
Modern farming is a business and
to to successful should be conducted
in a business-llke manner. Farming
has developed to the stage where it
is a commercial enterprise in which
the character of the management
largely determines income and profit.
It involves the production and sale of
commodities as well as the use of
capital and the purdhase of supplies
and labour the same as most other
kinds of business.
Present conditions in farming em-
phasize the importance to the fernier
of having a record of This business
transactions as welt as a permanent
record of other details of . his farm
enterprise to which he can readily re-
fer. ,The problem of the farmer is to
meet conditions in such a way that
his farm will give 'him the motet sat-
isfactory net returns, year in and
year out, Por the use of his Invest-
went, this labour and His managerial
ability. Many farmers r Mize that
some change or adetestment in their
combination, of enterprises or meth-
ods of management Might Increase
their farm income. They may be un-
able, however, to determine what
changes to make owing to a lack of
records on which to base any changes
In enterprises or methods. A farm
account book, properly kept and en-
alZzed, is the fact finder for the far-
mer.. An account book points 'out the
weak spots in the farrti business and
points opt the holes through which
the 'profits have leaked. A raft; Ac•
