I think she knew from the first. that Stephen did it. She didn't give hint away, though, not until tonight, She'd even thought of helping him to run away again, That's why she drew the $800. But tonight when I asked her if she knew why Sybil hadn't been killed instead of stunned, she didn't answer. However, as I went out the door, she began to play the Lullaby from Joselyn. It was her way of telling me about the mo- ther fixation Stephen had. He could not bring himself to kill her, even though he realized she had gone to the attic to see if his sailor suit was still there—and the gun." "Oh, that's what site was look- ing for." a: * "Of course. Funny-, Alt the way along the line, everything pointed to the sailor angle. It wasn't until I found the black silk square in the attic that I realized what I had missed. It was a kerchief, you know, the kind sailors wear knot- ted about their necks. When I re- alized what it was, the whole puz- zle fell into focus, There was a sailor lounging near the gate across from the house on the af- ternoon of the murder. Then Miss Bigelow had told me that Stephen had once run away and joined the navy-, 1 -le even mentioned the fact himself. Then there was the pic- ture missing from Shari Lynn's wall. The only sailor in alt those uniforms. Stephen's photograph, of course. The picture was taken years and years ago—not a very good one—but if 1 had given it more than a cursory glance the night I saw it at Shari Lynn's, I think I would have recognized hint." "Lord. The whole business was out in the open all the tittle." This from Rocky. "lilt ult. That's where lie was stes-er, It was almost too out in the open. Stephen told no lies. He admitted being jealous of Karen, Everything he did was logical, you know, except attacking his mo- ther. He shouldn't have done that, because he couldn't follow through on it, He didn't have the heart to kill her. It showed that the kilter had a fondness for Sybil that kept hint from destroying her. That de- finitely put the finger on Stephen." y e: Rocky said, surprisingly, "He was Lucky about the false clues, too, boss. He didn't try to teave any himself—false ones—to point another way, like most murderers do. There was the red wig and everybody being in the same lo- cality at just the right time to come under suspicion. Those things just happened. All the con- fusion it caused was lucky for him —for a while, anyway," "That's certainly right. He al- most got away with buntping me off, too," "IIe'd never been caught if he'd killed yott," said Ann, "Olt, I don't know. Doutevy's smart and he would have plugged away until he got the right line, no doubt." "Maybe." She sounded skeptical. "Good heavens, It's five o'clock. Rocky tilted his bulk front his chair, saying, "I'll ntosy along, too. Cotte on, Ann. I'll drop you," Duke," she ordered. "I (tope you're "You get right into bed now. going to he all right. You aren't running a fever are you?" She put her hand on his fore- head and, bending over suddenly, gave hint a long kiss.

These iutlicatc lade of good taste and refinement, An example of this writing is il- lustrated below. Such writers make ungraceful, heavy whirls and loop:, in all their letters. In many cases, hooks begin and end the words, showing the person to be abnormally materialistic with a love of self-indulgence in eating and drinking. They go beyond the average person it, their living habits and become excessive in everything they do. Ilartttotty and - spirituality is not part of their character as they do not believe in refinement, good temper, or good judgment. Writing which appears to stand straight up, as in the first exam- ple, shows the nature to be more reserved than tie stature in the second example, which indicates the person to be openly vulgar in speech 'as 'ell as manner. 61 Loos i fSve P bdNiaCss Anyone wishing a orore complete analysis please send self-addressed stamped envelope to Bax B, room 421, 73 Adelaide St. iPest.

Speaking of the eight -foot mural of the Nile liver done by a Howard Park Toronto class, Miss \'t'ylc said it had caught the real feeling of logypt and its "sense of permanence." She declared it the best piece in the whole C.N.E. school display.

MINMRAl.S - &lankly School Lesson Purity of Heart and Life Proverbs 2: 10-17; 4: 23-27; James 1: 13-15 Golden Teat, -- Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life, --Proverbs 4: 23. To the wise men among the ancient Hebrews the heart was not only the center.of man's physi- cal being, but it symbolized also the center and source of his moral and spiritual life. He thought not only with his mind, but with his heart, "As a titan thhtketlt in his heart, so is he"; "Search the heart, for out of it arc the issues of life." Purity of heart, therefore, be- came the supreme and necessary condition of a good and whole- some life, as nutclt as pure blood is the condition of a healthy body, e * ei What docs it mean to be pure its heart? The common tenden- cy is to llihtic of "purity” chief- ly, if not altogether, in terms of sex; but purity of heart means a great deal more than avoidance of what Saint Peter (I Peter 2:11) has called the "fleshy lusts that war against the soul." Purity, too, must be considered on its positive side. It is not enough to resist the temptations of evil; it a necessary to be moved by the impulses of good, and the power of love. Purity means strength, as well as freedom from taint. * * * Purity relates to much more Wool Blankets Lovely, soft. fluffy, pure.
