"Whatdo you make of this second terrible episode tonight?" he asked. "Really, y' `k a ,"—Vance was cov- ertly watching the man --"it is far too early to arrive at any definite con- clusions. Perhaps to -morrow . . ." His voice faded away, Fleet straightened up with .an ef- font and' moved forward resolutely. "I think I too will be going." He spoke in a weary tone, and I noticed• that. his hand treinbled slightly as he ,picked up his' hat and adjusted it. "Cheerio," said •Vance, as the law- yer turned at the front door and bow- ed stiffly to ue. Meanwhile Fraim Falloway had risen ,from his place on the daven- port. avenport. He now moved silently past us, with a drawn look on. his face, and trudged heavily up the stairs, Falloway had t barelytime to reach the first lauding when the telephone resting on a small wobbly stands in the hall began rigging. Ween sud- denly appeared from the dimness of the rear hall and picked up the receiv- er with a .blunt "hello." He listened for a moment; then laying down the ,receiver," turned sullenly in our direc- tion. "It e a call for Sergeant Heath," be announced: The Sergeant went quickly to the telephone and put the receiver to his ear. "Well, what is it?" he started bel- ligerently. " - . . ...Sure .it's the Sorge —shoot! . . . Well, for the love of — Hold it a minute." He clapped his band over the Mouthpiece and swung about quickly. "Where'll we be in half an hour, Chief?" "We'll be at Mr. Vance's apart- ment." The Sergeant turned back to the instrument. • "Listen,, you," he fairly bawled; "we'11 be at Mr. Vance's apartment in East 38th Street. Know where it is? . That's right -and make it snappy." He banged down the re- ceiver. • "Important, is it, Sergeant?" asked Markham. "I''ll say it is" ' Heath stepped quickly away from the telephone table- "Let's get going, sir. I'll tell you about it on the way down. Sunk -ill's meeting us at Mr. Vance's apartment." Just as 'Markham and Heath and I turned to follow Vance, there came,. from somewhere outside, a startling and om&noas• rattle that sounded like the staccato and rapid sputtering of a machine-gun. Then, Game 411e acpiaaivo, ,,snot -"^"- tion of the Sergeant, who was 'at my side. Then he suddenly sprang for- ward past Vance and, jerking the front door open, hurried out into the warm summer night without a word to any one. The. rest of us •foIl.owed close behind him. Beath was now breaking into a run ahead of us; and Markham and I had difficulty keeping pace with Vance as he, too, lengthened his stride,. Just this side of the Nottingham Hotel at the corner, a small group of excited men were gathered under the bright light of the lamppost set be- tween two trees along the curb. "I —I don't know," Falloway st i- mered- "Pm not familiar with such feminine matters. But I tbiek enier- cid is wonderful—so Mysterious --so exotic—so subtle." "You're. quite '' right," murmured Vance; and then ,he focussed his gaze on Kenyon Keating. "AB perfumes smell alike to' me,' was the man's annoyed assertion be- fore Vance could frame the question again. "I can't tell one from another --except gardenia." "And how about you, Mr. Quaggy?" asked lightly. ;`If you were glving a lady perfume, what scent would -you select?" "I haven't yet been guilty of such foolishness," Quaggy 'replied. "I stick to flowers. They're easier. But if I were compelled to present a fair crea- ture, with perfume Fd first find out what she liked'." "Quite a sensible point of view," murmured Vance, rising as if with great effort and turning. "And now, I say, Sergeant, let's have a curs'ry Took at that Iad'der." We walked down the front steps, and for the second' time we west through the street gate leading into the yard. The short grass was entirely dry, and the ground had completely hard- ered since the rain two nights ago. Vance again bent over at the foot of the ladder while Heath 'held the flash- light. "There's no need' to fear any spoil- ing your adored footprints to -night, Sergeant—the ground is' much too hard. Vance straightened up after a moment and moved the iadd.er slight- ry tb the rtgn't, as ne uaa $•one the previous morning. "And don't get jit- tery about finger -prince, Sergeant," he went on. "rm quite convinced you'll find none. This ladder, 1 opine, is merely a stage -prop, as it were; and the pers8n who set it here was clev- er enough to have used gloves." - He bent over again and inspected the lawn, but rose almost immediate- ly. . "Not the slightest depression, -only a few blades of grass crushed . . . I say, sergente mio, it's your turn' to step on the ladder—I'm frightfully tired." Heath •immediateiy clambered up five or six rungs and then descended; and Vance again moved the ladder a few inches. Both he and Heath now knelt down and scrutinized t h e ground. "Observe," said Vance as he rose to his feet, "that the uprights make a slight depression in the sail, even with the weight of only one person pressing upon the ladder . . . Let's go inside again and dispense our adieux." • On re-entering the house Vance im- mediately joined Keating at the en- trance to the drawing room and an- nounced to him, as 'Well as to the others inside, that ewe were going, and that .the house would be taken over DR.

Anything illegal• in that procedure?" "No—oh, no," smiled Vance "Quite normal. Far more normal, in fact, than if you had geneimmediately to bed without a hit of •airim' by the op- en window." He glanced' at Quaggy with an enigmatical Smile. "By the by," he went on, "did you, by any chance, note what type of car it was that attacked Mr. Fleel?" "No, I didn't get a very good look --at it," Quaggy Sreturned in a chilly„ -tone. "And the color?" prompted Vance. "It was a dingy, nondescript color." Heath was watching Q u d g g y shrewdly.

I have yet to see so unmistakable a picture of collapse from fright as he presented. He was as pitiful a figure as I have ever' looked at, huddled be- neath the unflattering glare of the large electric light overhead, as he leaned weakly for support against the Iam•ppost. "That' was a close call," he mut- tered: "They almost got me." "Who almost got you, Mr. Fleel?" asked Vance. "Didn't you see it all?" he asked. his voice high and unnatifral.

Does Heat Affect Milk? The question is often asked if heat- ing tniik affects its food value:- Natur- ally the general desire is to serve this healthful food in the. most beneficial' way. The answer to this pertinent question is that milk used in making such dishes as soups and desserts, which 'necessitate heating- the milk, supplies the same valuable food es- sentials—proteins, calcium, fats, sug- ar and vitamins—as fresh milk used as a beverage. It is a satisfaction to know that heat does not destroy the goodness in milk, and that heating milk in the meal is just as 'healthful as drinking milk with the meal. The Milk Utilization Service, Do- minion Department of Agriculture, re - 'commends, that milk be used liberal- ly in sauces, desserts and other milk dishes, any of which will contribute materially to both the nutritional va- lue and palatability of the meal.
