And, by the by, Sergeant, bow about rounding every- body up and invitin' them to the Pure pie House tomorrow, around noon 7" he asked. '1'm . speaktn' of Fleel, Kenyon, and Quaggy, Mrs. ° Falloway and her son will', Inn sure, be there, iia any event." • S. * We arrived at the Keating resi- dence, Vance driving us there id his car, fifteen minutes before noon. Weem took our 'hats and made a sur- ly gesture towards the drawing - room. Sergeant Heath and Snitkin were already •trhere. A Little later Ffeel and Kenyon Kehting arrived„together,' followed al- most immediately by Porter Quaggy. They had barely seated themselves when old, Mrs. Falloway, supported by her son. Fraim, •,came down the front stairs and joined ue. "I'M so anxious about Madelaine,” Mts. Falloway sand: "How is she, Mr. Vance?" "Mrs. Kenting is doing even better today than I would have expected. •I can assure you that she will be home in two or three days, fully recover- ed and in her normal mind. "And I imagine she will have a most interestin tale-. to unfold. Y' know, it was not intended that ehe return." "The truth is, this was not a kid- napping case at all. The authorities were expected to accept it in that light, but the murderer made too many errors --his fault lay, in trying to be excessively clever." "There is no doubt whatever that Kaspar Kenting made an appoint- ment for the early morning hours, after he had returned from his even- ing's entertainment at the casino with Mr, Quaggy. "When Kaspar left .this house early Wednesday morning, he was met tat the appointed place not by the per- son with whom be had made his ap- pointment, but by others whom he had never seen before. They struck him over the head before he so much as realized that anything was -amiss, threw him into a coupe, and then drove off with him to the East River and disposed of him, hoping he would not be found too soon. It was straight, brutal murder. And the persons: who committed that murder had been hir- ed for that purpose and had been in- structed accordingly. You will un- derstand. that the plotter at the source never intended anything less than murder for the victim - since there was grave risk in letting him live to point an accusing finger lat- er. . The slender Chinaman - the lobby--gow of the gang -then re- turned to the house here, placed, the dxuteeL t re-vermaow-=tt"trad been left here previously for just that purpose - entered the room through the window, and set the stage according to instructions, taking the toothbrush, the- comb,nd the pajam- as, and pinning the note to the win- dow -sill, generally leaving mute but spurious indications that Kaspar Kent- ing had kidnapped himself in order to collect the money he needed to straighten out his debts. "So far the plot was working nice- ly. The first set -back occurred after the arrival in the mail of bhe ran- som note with .the instructions to take the money to the tree. The scheme of the murderer to collect the money from the tree was thwart- ed, makin' necess'ry further steps. The same .day Mrs. Keating was ap- proached for an appointment, per- haps with a promise of news of her huusband-obviously by some one she trusted, for she went out alone at ten o'clock that might to keep bele ap- pointment. She was awaited -possib- ly just inside Central Park -by the same hard gentlemen who had done away with her husband. But instead of meeting with the same fate as Kas- par Kenting, she was taken to the house on Lord Street I visited last might, and held there as a sort of hostage. I rather imagine, don't y' know, that the perpetrator • of this fiendish scheme had not yet been able to pay the price demanded for the neat performance of Kaspar's fit, 'But semi-precious stones are not so easy to dispose of through: Illegi- timate channels, A shady transac- tion of tihis nature would naturally require time, and the now -defunct hench'm'en who were waiting for set- tlement were becoming annoyed.

I am quite cer- tain that the bales -ruby I found in the poor fellow's dinner coat was brought back ;because the purchaser would not give him what he thought it was worth-Kaspar probably mis- took the stone for a real ruby.

"The second note received by Mr. Flee!, was not, as I have already in- timated, one of the series written at the instructions of the guilty mane it was a genuine document address- ed to him, and the recipient felt that he not only could use it to have the ransom money paid over to him, but to disarm once more rany suspicion that might be springing up in the minds of the authorities. It did not occur',to him that the address, cryp- tically written in for his eyes alone, could be interpreted by another." He turned slowly to Fleet again and met the other's smirk with a cold smile. "When I suspected you, Mr. Fleet," he said, "I sent you from the Dis- trict Attorney's office Thursday be- fore Mr. Markham and: I came 'here, in order to verify my expectation that you would urge Mr. Kenyon•Kent- ing to request that all police inter- ference be eliminated. This you did and when I learned of it, after ar- riving here with Mr, Markham, I de- finitely objected .to the .proposal and counteracted yourinfluence on Mr. Kenting so that' you could not get "Thank God she is alive!" killing, thereby irking the hired as- sassins.

Seeing that part of your pian) hopeless'lyfail- ing, you cleverly changed your atti- tude and agreed to act for us -at my request through Sergeant Heatht-as the person to place the money in the tree, and, Went through with the farce in order to prove that no con- nection existed between you and the demand for stoney. One of your henchmen had come to Central Park to pic""1kr up the package if everything went according to your -prearranged schedule. Mr. Van Dine and I both saw the man. When ho learned; that you had not been 'successful 'with yoltr plans, he undoubtedly reported your failure, (thereby throwing fear Into 'your hirelings that they might not be paidi--which accounts for their kung Mrs. Keating alive as an ef- fective threat to hold over you till payment was forthcoming.” Fleel's expression did not chaage. "A very pretty theory, Mr. Vance," he commented. "It shows remark- able ingenuity, but it entirely fails' to take into consideration the fact that I myself was attacked by a subma- chine gunner on the very night of Mrs. Keavting's disapAearance. You have conveniently forgotten that lit- tle episode since it would knock' the entire foundation from :Wider your amusing little house of cards." "No. Oth, no, Mr. Fleet. Not 'con- veniently forgot - conveniently re- membered. Most vivid recollection, don't y' know. And, you were jolly well frightened by the attack. Sure- ly, you don't believe your escape from any casualty was the result of a miracle. All quite simple, really. The gentleman with the machine-gun had no intention whatever of per- forating you. His only object was to frightere you and warn, yoU of exact- ly what to expect if you did not raise the money instanter to pay for the dastardly services rendered you. You were never safer in your Iife •than when that machine-gun was sputter: ing away in your general direction." The smirk slowly faded from Fleet's lips. Your theory, Mr. Vance," he said angrily, "no longer has even the mer- it of humor. And I wish you to know that I greatly resent your remarks." "I don't regard that fact as discont certin' in the least," Vance returned with a cold! smile. "Thee fact is, Mr. Fleet, you will be infinitely more re- sentful when I inform you that at 1 this very minute certified public.. ac- countants are at work one your books and that the police are scrutinizing most carefully the contents of your safe." For two seconds Fieel looked at hiin with a serious frown. Then ne took a swift backward step and, thrusting his 'hand into his pocket, deew forth a large, ugly looking auto- matic. Both Heath and Snitkin had been' watching him steadily, and as Fleet made this movement Heath, kith lightning -like speed, produced an automatic from beneath the black sling of his wounded arm. The move- ments of the two men were almost concurrent. But there was no need for Heath to fire his gun, for in that fraction of a second Fleet raised' his automatic to bis own temple and pulled the trigger. The weapon fell from his hand immediately. and his body slumped down against the edge of the desk and fell to the floor out of sight. Vance, apparently, was little mov- ed by the tragedy. However; after a deep sigh!, he rose listlessly and step- ped behind the desk. Vance bent down. "Dead, Markham,-quit.e,•" he an- nounced as he rose, a moment or so later. "Consid'rtte chappie - what ? Has saved you legal worry no end. Most gratifyin'." Snitkin unlocked the handcuffs on - young Falloway. "Sorry, Mr. Falloway," murmured Vance. "But you lost your self-con- trol and became a bit annoyin' Fe•elin' better?" The youth stammered: "I'm all right." He was alert and apparent- ly his normal 'self now. "And Sis will be home in a couple of days!" THE END New Bulletins on Poultry Disease and Potatoes Two new bulletins have recently been issued by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, both prepared by members of the staff at the 0. A.C. One is on poultry diseases which gives tthe latest and best in- formation on poui'try diseases and treatment, including sanitation and fumigation of incubators. Nutritional diseases as well as communicable diseases are considered. The other bulletin is on potato pro- duction. It outlines the good and bad points of leading varieties, discusses fertilizers, soil preparation, seed dis- infecting, time nate and depth of planting. and gives directions for con- trol Of blight and insect pests. There is also information on 'harvesting, grading and storing. Copies may be secured from the Statistics and. Pub- lications Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. The Potato Crop The 1937 Ontario potato crop is well cleared from most Ostrich's. There are practically no potatoes for sale within 100enile•s of Toronto. The market has advanced 30 cents to 40 cents per bag and wholesale dealers will pay 80 cents to 85 cents for goad firm potatoes delivered' at the ware!" hous'e. There are a few thousand bags of Ontanios in storage. The planting of Irish Oobblere is less than in 1937, but some growers have sub- stituted Katandins far early planting and this crop will be harvested close- ly after the early Cobblers. The acre- age planted) to Katandtit s has been. greatly increased and that of Doo- leys decreased, There tat be a ,singhtt reduction in the acreage of late potatoes. Planting has bees earlier on acovunit of an early spring and also the desire of many growers to get'better maturity and be able to harvest earlier so as to avoid pee - table iiros,t dhmage. The new crop in Ontario has been slow in starting on account of cool weather conditions stince early planting time. Frost .oh May 24th caused damage in, the .Dan. dee anld Burlington districts.

And Navy The minute we saw in the Manhat- tan telephone directory:- "Japanese Armee 1775 Broadway," we berried around to investigate. We found! the Japanese army firmly entrenched' in a modest suite, with no sentry or re- ceptionist; across a low partition;, in a biggish room, a half dozen Japans ese is mufti were engaged' in clerical work, One - of them, a short, da.I•k gent with Thorn rdmm+ed giass•es, came forward and we introduced ourself and asked why .the Japanese army had a New York office. "You go do this up?" he asked. We said yes, we'd like to write a piece about it. "No true," he saki in ra- ttier a theated tone. "You think we only 'army with office? Hah, you not know all atonies have office in New York? Go, learn others, then have purpose do 'this up." He thereupon turned and went into an inner office, followed by all leis colleagues. This left us in complete rom®and of 'the field', but uncertain whether or not the interview was ended. For a moment we caught excited mumbling, teen there was complete Oriental quiet.. We were on the point of go- ing when we noticed another army man .peeking at us+ around the door, •and motioned him to come ou't. He did, rather hesitantly. We asked if we could see the general. "No gen- eral," he said smiling, "one lieuten' colonel, two major." We asked to see the lieutenant colonel, but were told he was "bissy with friend." So were both majors. "All time bissy with friend," he said, with another pale smile that hardly seemed to include us as a friend. • Why, we asked, getting back to the original point, did the Japanese army have an office in New York? "You know," he said slowly, "the pur-. `bases, we inspect." "Where?" Here." Was the Japantese army re- sponsible to the Japanese consulate? He° shook his head. The Emperor? No . . Yes." With that Ire grinned, backed away, and disappear- ed into the inner office. We left, and 'snooping around the building, learned that the Japanese army has been a tenant for about seven years. It's the irritated opin- ion of - several building employees that the army can speak perfectly good English if it wants to.

Where Thoughtlessness Is .a Real Danger When you consider the millions of flies that may be bred if even one single female- house -fly is allowed to mature, it is obvious to what extent these carriers of "typhoid" and other disease germs are a menace to any community where they are permitted to multiply. Flies are no respecters' of persons.' The baby in the .Millionaire's ;home or the worksnadrs cottage are equally in danger if proPer care is not exercised to keep flies from entering the home. Flies frequent the filthiest feeding places Outside the home, then, if al- lowed inside, carry dangerous germs to feeding 'bottles, liquids, foods, ev- erything that is left exposed. The important point then is to "clean-up" thoroughly wherever po- tential breeding places exist -out-of- doors, around the house. And, to make doubly sure, screen all win- dows and doers and cover all milk and food wherever exposed. If these precautions were followed by every- body; it would go a long way: to solve the fly problem. But, we are most of us apt to be thoughtless of others, perl:alis, and so the flies have a new lease on life. iso 9 lint bis knee loin — p St o Ti a , pita!, , ae pn t > '' e,, ed that waist r� -^how Ateadlly eves;: er win tb ' Read What =bel yu, "For -12 moot*, misery wilt, aou4e. rit+,ltii both my t,{"•eeie.
