Vance doubts the kidnapping story and further question Weems the but- ler, Mrs. Kenting's mother, Mrs. Falibway and son, Fraim, and Porter . Quaggy, raconteur friend of Kenting's and last person to be with him on the fatal night. All seem. hostile to Kasper. At ,this time a ransom note arrives demanding $50,000 and. freedom from the police. A dummy pack- age is substituted for the money and secreted in a tree in Central Park. The police capture Mrs. Falloway who admits privately to Vance she is really trying to fore- stall an attempt by her son Fraim to take the money. She is .not held. Im¢nediateiy afterward, Madelaine Kenting, wife of Kas- per, also disappears suddenly. That night, while walking home, Eldridge Fleel is machine-gunned at close range from a passing automobile, but not hurt. Vance suspects a ruse. Heath, Mark- ham and Vance go to Markham's office and learn. that Kenyon Kenting's body has been foand in the East Riven While there Kenyon Kenting ar- rives with a second ransom note as des Flee) who also received a note.

Together with• Markham, Heath and Van Dine he drives to a lonely house in upper Manhattan where, after silently disposing of a Chinese deo: keeper, the party enters. his grip. He staggered backward) a few feet and slid heavily into -a chair. "The baby winged• me," Heath said with an, effort.

"The thing's right there mantel," he said. "You'd better letme answer it, Mr. Vance. You're too refined." He picked up the receiver with his left hand. . "What d' you want?" he asked, In a gruff, officious tone. \here was a short pause. "Oh, yeah? 0.-K., go ahead." A longer,pause followed, as . Heath listened. 'Don't know noth- ing about it," jhe shot back in a heavy, resentful -voice. Then he add- ed: "You got the wrong number." And he slammed down the receiver. "Who was 1 t, do you know, Sergeant?" Vance spoke quietly as he lighted a cigarette. Heath turned slowly and looked at Vance. His eyes were narrowed', and there was an' expression of awe on his face as he answered. "Sure I know," he said significant- Iy. He shook his head 'as if he did not trust himself to speak. "There ain't no mistaking that voice." "Well, who was .it, Sergeant?" "It was-" he began, and then he was suddenly aware of my presence in the room. "Mother o' God!" the breathed. "I don't have to tell you Mr. Vance. You knew this morning." Vance looked at the Sergeant a moment and shook his head. "Y'know," he said, in a. curiously repressed voice, "I was almost hop- ing I was wrong. I hate to think He came suddenly forward to Beath who had fallen back weak- ly against the mantel and was blindly reaching for the wall, in an effort to hold himself upright. Vance put his arm around Heath and led .him to a chair. "Here, Sergeant," he said kindly tone, handing him an silver flask, ".take a drink of and don't be a sissy." Heath inverted the flask to his lips. Then be handed it back to .Vance. "That's potent juice," he said, standing up and pushing Vance away from him. "Let's get going." "Right -o, Sergeant. ,We've only begun." As he spoke he walked toward the rear door and stepped over the dead man, into th•e next room. Heath and I were at his heels. We were in a small box -like room, without windows. Opposite us, against the wall, stood a .narrow - army cot. Vance rushed forward and leaned over the cot. The mo- tionless form of a woman lay stretch- ed out on it. Despite )ler disheveled hair and her deathly pallor, I recog- nized Madelaine Kenting. Strips of adhesive tape bound her lips together and both her arms were tied secure- ly with pieces of heavy clothes -line to the iron rotas at either side of the cot. Vance dexterously removed tee tape from her mouth, and the wo- man sucked in a deep breatb, as if she had been partly suffocated. Vance busied himself with the cruel - cords binding her wrists. When he had released them he laid his ear against her heart for a mo- m•ent, and poured a little of the Cognac from his flasa between her lips. She swallowed automatically and coughed. Then Vance lifted her in his arms and started from the room. I preceded inert burden way. "We must -get her to a hospital at once, Van," he said when we had reached the lower 'hallway. eommented toafnd the on the There was a brief respite of black silence, so poignant as to be almost palpable, and then came the crash of an upset chair and the dull heavy sound of a human body striking the floor. I was afraid to move. Heath's labored breathing made a welcome noise at my side. Then I heard Vance's voice - the synical nonchalant voice I knew so well. The ray from Heath's pocket flash moved about the walls and ceiling, but I could see neither him nor Vance. Then the light came to a halt, and Heath's triumphant voice rang out. '•Here it Is, sir, -a socket beside the window." And as he spoke a weak, yellowed bulb dimly lit up the roam. On the floor b'. -dies. "Pleasant evening, Sergeant." Vance spoke • in his usual steady, whimsical voice. "My sincerest apol- ogies, and all that." Theo he caught sight of me, and his face sobered. "Are you all right, Van?" he asked. I assured him I had escaped the melee unscathed, and added that I had not used my automatic because I was afraid I might have hit him :n the dark. "I quite understand," he mur- nmred and, nodding his head, he ;vent quickly to the two prostrate bodies. After a momentary inspec- tion,. he stood^up and said: "Quite dead, Sergeant. Really, y' anew, I seem to be a fairly accurate shot." "I'11 say!" breathed Heath with ad- miration. "I wasn't a hell of a lot of belie was' 1, Mr. Vance?" he add- ed a bit shamefacedly.

In about fifteen minutes, ig- noring all traffic lights' and driving at a rate far exceeding tbe city, speed :limit, we drew up , in front of the hospital. • Vance jumped from- the car, took Mrs. Keating in has aniee again, and carried: her up the wide marble steps. He returned to the car in less than ten ;minutes. "Everything's all right, Sergeant," the said as he approached the car. "The lady has V'egiainedl coneldieus- ness. Fresh air did it." Heath had stepped out of the car and was' standing on the sidewalk. - "So long, Mr. Vance," he said. "I'm getting in that taxi up ahead., I gotta get back to that damn house. I got work to do." "Stay .right here, Sergeant, and get that arm propeely dressed first." He led Heath back, and accompan- ied him up the hospital steps. A feW minutes later Vance came out alone. "The noble Sergeant is all right, Van," he said, as he took bis place at the wheel again. "He'll be out before long." Wtheu we reached Vane's apart- ment Currie opened the door for us. There was relief written in every line of the old butler's face. ' "Good heavens, Currie!" said Vance, as he stepped inside. "I told you, you might tuck •yourself in at eleven o'clock if you hadn't heard from me." "I'm sorry, sir," Currie said in a' voice which, for 'all its forarality, had 'anal tremolo on,;tp b .:afr" until you `re- m very glad you have come Thome, sir-" •- "You're a sentimental old foesil, Currie," Vance complained, handing the butler his hat. "Mr, Markham is waiting in the library," said Currie. As we entered the library, we found Markham pacing up and down. "Well, thank Gad'!" he said. And though he attempted to sound trivial, .his relief was as evident as old Cur- rie's had, been. "Greetings, old dear," said Vance. 'Why this unexpected pleasure of your presence at such an hour?" "I was merely interested, officially, in what you ,might, have found on Lord Street," returned Markham." "I'm frightfully sorry, Markham," h9 said, "but I fear I have made you a bit of trouble . . - The fact is," he added carelessly, "I killed three ,nen." "Are you serious?" blurted Mark- ham. ' "Ola, quite," answered Vance. "Do yon think you can save' me from the dire consequences?" And then he told Markham in de- tail •eterythitig that had happensi that night. But I thought he too greatly minimized his own part in the tragic drama. When he had finish- ed bis recital he asked somewhat coyly: - "Am I a [doomed culprit, or were there what you would, call extenuatin', circumstances? -I'm horribly weak on 'the intricacies of the law, don't y' know-" - "Damn it! forgot everything," said Markham. "If you're really worried, Ill get you a brass medal as big as Columbus Circle. The front door bell rang, and a minute later Heath enteredthe lib- rary. His ordinary ruddy face was pa a little le and drawn, and his right arm was in a sling. He -Saluted Marktham and turned sheepishly to Vance. "Your old saw=bones at .the hospi- tal told me I had to go home," he comtplained. "And there's nothing in God's world the matter with me," he added disgustedly. "Imagine him puttinf this arm in a sling- Hell! If my gun hadn't jammed--" "Yes, that was' a bad break, Serge- ant," nodded Markham,. Vance and Markham and Heath discussed the case from variotis an- gles for perhaps a half hour longer. Markham was getting impatient. "I'm going home," he said finally, as he rose. "We'll get this thing straightened out in the morning-" "Is there anything you want nee to do, Mr. Vance?" Heath's tone was respectful, but a little weary. Vance looked at him with commis- eration.

It is possible that Berne people do develop blood pres- sure from worry but that was not the trouble with Mr. X. • In September, 1931, Mr. X. -was 4f years of age. He believed, that he should be examined every year "by his doctor but for three years he had. kept putting it off, partly[ because he was too busy and then he bad been all right the last time he was exam- ined. In those three years Mr. X. had gained about twenty pounds in weight, mostly around his waist line. At last he got some free time and dropped in to have his doctor look him over. The doctor looked up his record and found that Mr. X. had added four inches to his waist line. The examination also revealed that he 'had added about 30 .points to .his blood pressure. la other words: he had a blood pressure 30 points above normal for his age. His waist line was six inches larger than normal. Now the medical profession know that overweight and increased' abdom- inal measurement are frequently fac- tors in causing blood pressure 'to go up. They' also know that, if the weight is brought down .and the ab- domen reduced in , size, in the major- ity of cases of blood pressure a defin- ite improvement will take place. Mr. X„ like most people, was anxious to get his blood 'pressure back ' to nor- rual if be Gould. His, doctor explain- ed that he should take moderate ex- ercise, of which h_e•)had been taking little or lane, and reduce the amount of food he had been taking. A pro- per diet wa's decided upon and some exegete -es given to reduce his waist Vile. It is a lot harder to reduce weight than it is to put it on, but Mn X.'s doctor saved him from time to time and encouraged him to per- severe'in the good work. In August, 1932, Mr. X went again to his doctor for an examination.. His blood pressure was down a little, weight down about ten pounds and waist line also reduced. He was ex- amined again in June, 1933, and now he was beginning to reap the real re- ward. His weight was down another five pounds and his waist,•, line was four inches smaller than in 1931, but the best part of it was that, his blood pressure had returned to normal. Mr. X. continues to watch his diet and his waist line. He has a periodic health examination every year and has the satisfaction of knowing that his blood pressure continues to stay within normal limits.

For some tin...‘ back he had been feeling sluggish -no pep at all. He also Chad a little inagestion and his bowels didn't work as well as us- ual. The men who worked with him remarked to themselves that Mr. M. was getting old, and "couldn't take it" any longer. Mr. M. also thought he was getting old and would soon be on the shelf. However, he decid- ed to get his family doctor to look him over. Now you must remember that Mr. M. was not sick. In• the course of a few days he made an appointment with Doctor S. When the doctor had finished his examination he told Mr. M. that he thought most of his trou- ble was that he had slowed up, giv- ing up taking any exercise, sat in his office all day, drove to and from the office and read most' of the •evening till bedtime. The indigeetion Mr. M. had 'complained about, though slight, was Ute beginning of a mild in lam- mation of the bowel. ' The doctor called his particular trouble "colitis." His prescription consisted of a slight change in diet. He also adtvivsed Mr. M. to walk the two miles to work night and morn- ing and leave his car in the garage. He also suggested that Mr. M. be checked over every year. Mr. M. followed the advice given by Doctor S. He put his motor car away as far as driving to and from business was concerned, changed his diet and reported back to the doctor in the summer of 1932. 'This tithe he was a different man. As he express- ed it, "Doctor S., I feel better than I lave for the last fifteen years." Now, the important thing about this story is that Mr. M. wasn't sick -at least not in his own opinion. The only time many people consider them- selves sick is when they can't carry on with their work and, have to go to bed, and that is the only time they will call a physician. Then, a- gain, too many people are afraid of the doctor; they are afraid he will suggest an operation. in the case of Mr. M. he didn't need an operation. It is true that his bowel condition would have turned into a very un- comfortable- condition in time, which would have required medicine and regular treatment by his doctor. The main thing about Mr. M. was that he was sluggish, had no pep, and as he himself put it, was "soft." A family" doctor should, be looked upon as one who will keep you well aid feeling fit. There are countless numbers of men' like Mr. M. around our country. They. need advice as to how to keep fit. There are no two people alike and no two people re - mere the same advice. A health ex- amination at regular intervals' by your family doctor is the best means of keeping your 'health. You can't buy health once it is lost. Preserve it. It is priceless.

Educational meetings which have been attended by officials, weed inspectors and Me terested citizens have been held in every district of Ontario., Weed in- spectors have been told to be firm in enforcing the Weed Control Act and to use good judgment in all their. dealings with tbe public. However, to be successful, the cam- paign must .have the enthusiastic backing of every householder and farmer, officials pointed out. Judging by •the interest displayed and letters received by the Department of Agri- culture, weeds will be fighting a los- ing battle this year, wibh complete eradication the goal of the Depart- ment. One neglected patch or plant this year may lead to serious infesta- tion next year. Careless and indif- ferent citizens can do much to undo all the good work of their neighbors in fighting the weed menace. A weed inspector needs the assist- ance of every individual. Give him your support. Make your community free of weeds. They are enemies to agriculture, public health and to the lucrative tourist business of Ontario. Weeds have no place in a progres- sive community. Prevent them from going to seed. Every weed destroyed means the death of, thousands of weed seeds. Will you, Mr. Citizen, please do your share in this worthwhile cam- paign?

There are various views 'held., laymen as to what' com,stitutes an ef- ficiently managed ''woodlot: Many have said with pride that they only cut dead trees in their woodlot. Others wish a woodlot to have a parklike appearance. They thiuktiall brush sould be burnt end there should be no underbrush. Owners have run fires through their woods and pastur- ed them in, order to secure this park- like .appearance. Some have even cut the underbrush with a scythe. Many of the demonstration wood - lots present a fine appearance now. Others will take many years to bring them to the condition when they will - be considered' ideal woodlote. Some are quite open and not fully stocked because they .have been pastured. Others require thinnings and improve- ment cuttings, and it is usually ex- pedient to spread these over a num- ber of years as the farmer may ut- ilize the wood that is secured to sup- ply his annual fuelwood requirements. The Forestry Branch wisth to con- tact owners •.of woodlots who waud be willing to have their woodlot des- ignated a demonstration The wood - lot should be adjacent or within 10 node of a travelled road. Either write the Forestry Branch, Parlia- ment Buildings, Toronto, or the local county Agricultural Representative. Demonstration Woodlots (By J. C. Merritt) There are 250 woodlots in Ontario that have been selected by the wood - lot extension forester as d'emonstra- tl`on woodlots. It is a co-operative agreement between the owner and the Forestry Branch. A forester. advises the owner on forestry practices that may be applied economically to the woodlot. The owner does the work at his convenience. Both have the same object; that is to conserve the woods and to secure as high financial returns over a period of years as pos- sible. The owner retains full control of his woodlot as no papers are sign- ed. A sign is placed where it may be seen by passing motorists. Reasons for selecting woodlots as de'mons'trations (1) 'Po draw attention to a wood - lot that is being conserved. (2)To demonstrate' forestry prac- tices that may be carried on econ- omically in Southern Ontario wood - lots. These include thinnings, im- provement cuttings and utilization cuttings to proyide fuelwood and tim- ber. (3) To show that a woodlot will reforest naturally from seed when it is protected from stock. (4) To demonstrate the planting of forest trees in the wpodlot, Plant- ing is often advisable In a woodlot that is not fully steered, as it speeds the resItocking of an open woods. pro- vides t-ree•s ;for corners that do not seed ne urally and' an evergreen windbn• for the borders and intro- duces valuable species not growing in the woodlot. (5) To place the stamp of approv- al on a woodlot that is managed ef- ficiently. There is a great diversity in meth- ods of, woodlot management. Many •owners do not receive as high finan- cial returns over a period of years as are economically possible. Many of these practices were all right when the object was to clear the 1t,nd acrd fuelwood and timber had is low monetary value, compared to present day values[ A few of these shortsighted prac- tices are: (a) Cutting everything, including small trees 2/5 Inches in diameter. (b) Clelar cutting second growth stand's, rather than thinning them to secure fuelweed. (c) Allowing trees to decay, ra- ther than utilizing -them when sound.
