The preparation of such simple dishes zifeods an opportunity to enlist the services of the child who loves to help mother, for any six-year-old can shred the lettuce and arrange salad howl or plates, peel the boiled eggs and attend to coloring them. To the average youngster, either girl or boy, this: will.seem like a delightful game, By way of variety, though some- what less pictorial, shredded lettuce may be combined with minced onions and radishes, or finely cut celery, or with diced cooked beets or carrots, and mixed with a French dressing. But lettuce wilts very quickly, so the dressing should not he added 'until just before serving. It is better to pass the dressing at the table. If lettuce is not on hand, cabbage finely shredded with a sharp knife or slaw cutter may be substituted for it, though the effect will be less striking. WAYS TO MAKE MONEY, Good roads and the ever-increasing number of motor driven vehicles have given farm women a wide and never - failing market. By means of neat signs placed near the highways farm women can carry out an inexpensive and successful advertising campaign. The signs should be slipped into a permanent frame of some sort that will hold them upright and at a dis- tance from the highway at which they an be easily read. From a neglected cranberry marsh a farm girl added many welcome dol- lars to the family purse, and from a willow thicket another girl cut the withes, which she later wove into bas- kets and sold to the tourists who pass- ed her door. These baskets were sold at a good profit, especially so when filled with tempting flowers, fruits or produce. An elderly farm woman who had long found a restfulsense of pride in a hedge of old-fashioned peonies found in them an unexpected source of revenue. So great is her critical care that the flowers are carefully cut hefore they reach the full -bloom stage, and tourists' consider themselves fortunate to be able to buy these very desirable flowers at twenty-five cents apiece, Last year, from this hedge of twenty plants the little gray-haired owner cleared, the surprising total of eighty - 'five dollars: with hale on the face �'A t ran ItavO ,that blemish'.

"I rather fancy," he said slowly, "that you'd be glad if.; Merrington was out of the way?" "Glad? What do you mean?" "Do you, think Sir Alexander doesn't know?" "Of course ho doesn't know." "You're wrong. He does know, and he has purposely thrown his wife and: Merrington together again." "Who told you that?" "No one. Just my' own common sense, that's all.

Then he locked the photograph away in a drawer ' with the photographs of the man who ' ,was either Ditto]) or the criminal who had certainly helped to take Ditton's life.

"He said he was going to, sir, but he didn't. He just turned me off hen and there—wouldn't even set me come back into the house. Luckily it was a tine night and I was fully dressed. I knew they'd find nothing in my room of any importance, So I just walked away, stayed in the grounds for a few hours, and came up by an early train." Didn't Mr, Ardington ask you any questions?" Yes, sir --while the servants were with him, but I wouldn't give him any information except that Higgins had told me the studio was haunted, and that I had made up my mind to spend a night in it." "Of course he didn't swallow that?" "I don't know, sir, but I got the sack there and then, And it seems to Inc. sir that he'd have sent for the i police f he hadn't suspected that I was one of them." "True enough, Peters. Well, he's given himself away, anyhow, Was that whatyou'meant when you said you'd got something to snake up for your dismissal?" "No, sir. I meant more than that. I've got a photograph of the statue." "Good boy—that's excellent," "I burnt a little magnesium powder in the oven," Peters continued, "just to one side and out of range of the camera. It was easy enough, and I'd finished the job and fastened up the door of the oven again before anyone turned up. That's what delayed me, sir. I didn't want to see you until I'd got a print from the negative. And when I'd seen the print 1 wanted to get an enlargement That ell took time. And when 1 called round at the Yard you were not there." "No, I've been away all day on an- other ease." So they told me, sir, and I didn't want to give this to anyone else. The enlargement is only a half-plate, but the camera is one of those little things you put in your waistcoat pocket and the negative is only two inches by one and a half. I thought I'd like you to see the enlargement sir, and as you were out—here it is, sir." j Peters drew a large envelope from; his pocket and handed it to Mr. Crust, The superintendent took out the photograph and examined it for near- ly half a minute without ,peaking Then he gave it to, lir. Kane, and said, "See the likeness?" "Yes, sir," the Inspector answered.. Its unmistakable," Did you see it, Peter:I?" queried: Mi. Crust, "The fare diel remind me of some-! one, sir, but I couldn't say who it was." `oh, you don't know the face as well as we do. 1 don't think we evere gave yon a photograph of Paula flier-. rington," "Mrs, Yerrington sir?" a "Yes, without doubt:' And a won-, degful piece of work. it is too Peters,. you're a good bey and I'm proud of you. Now you can just run along.! home and get a goodnights last." •I When Peters had taken his clepar-! tore lir. Kane said, "Did you expect' e I knew that Ardington this, air?" why over even pro- erior gathered together, lie had been quite sure that Ardington had been con- cerned in the death of Paula Merring- ton. But now he was only sure of one thing—that Ardington had been very - deeply in hive with' the "dead woman, "And if Ardington knows that Mer- rington was unfaithful to his wife," he said to himself, "it a poor look out for Merrington. And if Arding- ton were to be told that Herrington is suspected of having murdered Mrs. Merrington, ;Ardington would most certainly, help to bring Merrington to the -gallows:" CIIAPTER XXIX. "Kane has cleared out," said Tre- horn when he was shown into the lib- rary at Dedbury Priory. Seems to ine as though we were going to have a little peace at last." Ardington smiled grimly. "Or else, my dear fellow,„ he .replied.• "Kane has found out all he wanted. I don't think that would mean peace—for either of us. And, for that matter. Peters hay gone too. "Peters?” "Yes, my under-footman—a detec- tive. T rather• suspected him from the first. I gave him the sack," "Oh, this is terrible --a detective in your house— to watch Merrington, of course," `Yes—to watch iderr•ington.e "He didn't get hold of those two red feathers by any chance?" "Oh, no, But I caught hint poking about in the studio between two and three o'clock in the morning, and I had to get rid of him. We're in for a bad time, Trehorn" "Where is Merrington?" "He's gone to bed—went soon after1 dinner. Look here, Trehorn, suppose' we told Merrington the truth." 'Oh, we couldn't do that—and..he wouldn't believe us," "'Perhaps he wouldn't. But sup- pose he did. He is still in love with his dead wife. What would be the position if he found out that he'd run away with Lady Bradney? Would he be in love with Lady Bradney?" "I can't answer that question." "I ask you as a doctor. Would he be in love with Lady Bradney or with his wife, if his memory returned to ,him? It is an interesting problem." "Very, But Pm afraid I can't solve it. It is entirely outside the scope of medical science." I "Would the return of memory sweep away his love for his wife—so 'very strong just at present?"
