Thc step on the Stairs
By ISABEL OSTRANDER
CHAPTER V,-(Cont'd,)
"When his doer had closed and he
Iyas out of the way I rushed up to
her; I.don't know What I said; I must
have been crazy with jealousy and
the mystery stery of it all. Ido remember,
though, quite distinctly, that she
turned on me in a cold fury, forbade
ane to ever address her again, and
entering her apartment, shut the door
in my face! I descended, let myself
in here almost mechanically, and
dropped into that chair y u're sitting
an now, sergeant"
Craig was settling back in his
chair, with a gesture to Barry, when
the latter stepped forward,
"Mr. Ladd, as I understand it, your
apartment here is a replica of the one
just above, studio and all. Have you
any objection to showing us about?"
"Not at all." In contrast to that
of the dead woman's Ladd's studio
was hung with rare tapestries and
furnished as luxuriantly as that of a
social dilettante, yet its easel upon
which stood an unfinished landscape,
and the carved refectory table care-
lesly covered with paint tubes and
smeared cloths, showed it to bo a
;workroom no less than leers.
"What color do you call this?"
• Barry picked up a tube, and squeez-
ing a bit of its contents on the palette,
he indicated the blotch of reddish
brown.
"Burnt sienna," responded the art-
ist, promptly. "I seldom use it -you
scan see there was `.one on the palette
before -but I always keep a full as-
sortment of colors on hand. It is odd
you should have asked me about that!"
"Why?" demanded Barry quickly.
Tor the young man's tone had tensed
;with some sudden emotion.
"Well, it is just a trivial `natter,
but over a week ago -the last time,
in fact, that Mrs, Vane and I had a
chummy little `alk in her studio -I.
advised her to use more burnt sienna
with the seal brown to get the proper
effect of the wood on the staircase in
that portrait she was doing of Mrs,
Vansittart, the one before which her -
her own body was found tonight."
Barry replaced the tube zeflectively
an the table as Craig, with nn evident
effort to emulate hie colleague, picked
up one of the bottles and sniffed it
;speculatively.
"That's turpentine," Ladd remark-
ecl, and his voice had sunk again to
G dull apathy.
"It's funny about this turpentine."
'Craig still stood by the table, "It's
used as a cleaning fluid, isn't it?
Seems to nee I've smelt that odor
somewhere else in this house tonight,"
"Naturally the studio above is per-
eneated wit'.. it" Barry turned away
from the window and let the shade
drop. "Mr. Ladd, if you'll just show
us through the rest of your apartment
now we won't trouble you any more
.tonight"
Barry thanked the artist and bade
'him goodnight. In the hall Craig

itis ruddy brow.

.peached on the rest! Who the devil
was this Miriam Vane, any -way?
Where did she conte from and what
were the rest of them to her?"
"I think we can guess when Ladd
was,"p Barry whispered ered as he led his
colleague up the stairs once more.
"Just an idealistic young fool who
let her play with him like a cat with
amouse to please her vanity and then
kicked him out when he became incon-
venient. He may have killed her, but
I don't think so; I think he would
have adored the woman he thought
she was, and protected her with his
last breath"
"The woman he thought she was!"
repeated Craig, pausing on the stairs
in his astonishment.
CHAPTER VL ,
"What are we going upstairs again
for?" demanded Craig. `I've got to
make my report at headquarters, and
it's getting on toward morning."
"You're not going to rouse up old
Griswold again, then, and ask him
why he lied about his acquaintance
with Mrs. Vane?" Barry bent a
quizzical glance upon the younger ser-
geant.
"I am not," the other announced
with decision. "We have young Ladd's
word for it that Griswold lied, but
neither of then were under oath.
They're both under guard and in the
morning we'll have them clown on the
carpet and get the truth out of them."
"That's a good idea," approved
Barry. "Ami while you are about it,
you might find out what time little
11Iiss Shaw goes out and let the pro-
fessor know. I fancy he'll be waiting
to hear."
Craig stared.
"Oh, yes; I forget that note you
slipped under his door. You said
something about porch -climbing and
chemistry. You're not putting any-
thing over on me, John?"
"No." Barry smiled.
"I'11 put the sten on guard outside

oinpound."
"But we'd only just left afie.s
Shaw's apartment; we had:'t seen
either Griswold's or Ladd's then!"
Craig exclaimed beneath his breath.
"You don't suspect her, John?"
Barry smiled, but a trifle dryly.
Barry waited until the younger
sergear•t's footsteps had died away in
the quiet night air and then turned to
the guard.
"Doane, do you know who I am?"
The patrolman nodded.
"All right," Barry broke in. "I take
it that your orders tonight, Doane,
are to keep guard outside the apart-
ment here in which the woman was
shot unless you hear any suspicious
sound within, or see something which
you think should be investigated, Is
that so?"
`Right, sir," Doane responded.
"Very good. You're going to see
and hear something suspicious within
five minutes, and that scmething is
going to be me! Understand?"
"I don't, sir," Doane replied, "But
what you say goes. You mean you
want to have another look around the
place? I've orders not to iet anybody
in, but as long a, you're taking the
responsibility, the lock is smashed and
I can't see every shadow in this dark
hall,"
Barey pushed open the broken door,
which swung drunkenly on its hinges,
and entered the perfumed, littered liv-
ing room, where he found his way to
the wall switch and turrod on the
opalescent lainps,
The Iittle writing desk was open, its
profusion of papers scattered on the
floor, and the drawers of an almost
priceless Chinese cabinet had been
forced. Approaching the latter, Barry
observed that its contents were main-
ly scraps of drawing paper on which
tiny figures had been scrawled, each
with a few deft lines, and picking one
up he whistled softly.
It was a miniature caricature, cruel
in its sharply defined character delin-

woman whose unfinished portrait stood
on the easel in the studio, end glanc-
ing over the others Barry found like
caricatures of several people promin-
ent in the social and political life of
the city.

exposed.
Mentally congratulating Himself
that Doane had elected to remain out-
side, Barry drew forth the contents
of the compartment; in both hands and
carried it carefully to a'sniall table.
It was evident enough at . last that
somewhere beneath the hard, surface
brilliancy and devilishly clever, bitter
humor of the dead woman there had
lurked a humanly sentimental regard
for episodes in her life that had van-
ished from the sophisticated present,
for ,here beneath his hands were
clearly mementos of the past, the fool-
ish, faded objects, meaningless to any-
one slse, which everywoman treasures
until memory ceases to have value.
A faded blue satin ribbon, stiff and
yellowed at the edges, held a knot of
crumbling brown sprigs which must
once 'have been flowers; a torn scrap
of real lace, discolorednow, and too
rich in quality for a graduation dress
but it might have been a bit of a bri-
dal veil or christening robe once upon
a time; a lock of short, curling hair,
matted and red -brown; a battered
gold locket without initial or inscrip-
tion; an empty cartridge of .44 cal-
ibre, and a small snapshot, alike faded
and discolored and half torn across
as though someone had started to de-
stroy it and then thought better of it.
Taldng up the faded snapshot he
examined it closely. . Its faint lines
showed the figure of a tall, slender
girl clad -in a light-colored gown which
made it stand out against what ap-
peared to be a mass of shrubbery in
full leaf. At her side and reaching to
above her knee was a blurred object
resembling a huge dog, but the outlines
were so indistinct that its breed could
not be determined.

Garden Fails
If ased on.
Chance Ideas
A good way to go about the plan-
ning of the garden is to think of it
from the house outward. How, for in-
stance, does it look from the living
room window, and how do you reach
the garden; is it from a piazza out-
side the living room, from a porch at
the end of the house, or must you
walk from the door across a stretch
of drive and around the corner of the
house?
If the garden entrance can be re-
lated to one of the main outlooks from
the house -placed, for instance, op-
posite the door from the sun .porch or
in line with the main window of the
living room -it will fall into what is
a natural line et sight for the eye and
the result because it is easy to follow
will be pleasing and gratifying. The
mistake of disregarding the relation
of the garden to the house is very of-
ten made because the owner thinks of
the two separately.
The location of the garden 18 de.
sided upon, the space bisected and the
design made about this central axis
regardless of its relation to the house,
with the result that viewed from the
porch or living room 1t may be just
annoyingly off centre with tate line of
sight, or make an inharmonious angle
with the house. It is far more in.•
portant to have this relatio.i of house
to garden right than to have the space
within the garden itself divided sym-
metrically. In fact the latter con-
sideration is of no importance at all
because planting may be so arranged
as to disguise almost any discrepancy
and balance very nearly any awkward
shape.
' The First Consideration,
The first consideration as previous-
ly indicated will naturally be the en-
trance to the garden, and this point
having been established the garden
designer should ask himself whore he
wants to go in the garden, Can a
pleasant objective such as a seat wi-
der a fine tree be arranged? Does a
central point with a sundial to mark
it seem desirable, or is there to be
a fountain at the back of the garden
to which the paths ehould lead? Easy
circulation about the garden is one
of the most desirable things to pro-
vide and a path that comes to a dead
end is always a disappointment.
A central panel of grass is an in-
fluence for tjuiet and spaciousness in
a garden, and if the available area is
not restricted a plan which provides
such a green carpet is one that to
most likely to be agreeable. A good
rule to follow with respect to the
flower beds themselves is to 'make
them twice the width of the paths; a
path four feet and six inches In width
is about as narrow as two people can
walk on comfortably abreast.
In planting the contents of thebeds
it is wise to think during what months
the garden Is to be enjoyed and make
your succession of bloom accordingly,
However, the main thing to remember
is successful gardening is to plan in

Woman's Dream
Of Happiness
By Henry Ford
Many old eup who think their
wonting day; are over are making a
great neistal,e. They don't realize
what they can do -women as well as
men. -Only a few days ago I found
an old woman oe ninety-three who was
anxiouse
to b 0 0 60m0 use. !said:
i� "Isn't there something sh• can Uo?"
J Then we found something for her to
do, something that would ,keep her
busy,and occupied a.nd.itappy.
I should :e sorry to s -e the' day
come when old people left_ industry..
T dont' care. ,.ow old they are, they
have something others haven't -they
have experience, the most precious
thing in tits world,
T know au' old man who, in Mr.
Edison's youth, taught hint telegraphy.
When he was old and seemingly use-
less, he went to Edison for something
-anything-to do. Instead, of giving
}rim just anything Edison put 'him to
work at a nice inventive problem.
e proteit was far beyond him,
butHin the ested nd he invented a set o1
eimnfinish°ltanlsous alarms which had been
requested. And he thought he was
c.
The Quickest Way to Die
One thing that keeps old people ill
• is dancing. It is fine for them. It
gives them exercise. I have known
old people who were so timid and con•
scions of their age that they were
sure they couldn't dance. With much
urging they got up and could hardly
move their legs, but once the ember.
rassment wore off they started having
fun. Now they dance and dance and
dance.
If you are old, don't sit still, That
isthe quickest way to d}e.
Keep active. Old people should try
and apply their experience, instead o1
taking it with them on a shelf.
When I look forward to old age I
look forward to but one thing -that is
to be chockfull of doing constructive
things, to be active, to do somebody
good. That is the only happiness.
Everyone is looking for happiness,
and it is always somewhere else.
People forget they are living in the
present. They cannot live in the past
or in the future. If you are interested
in what you are doing now you cannot
help but be happy. That Is the only
kind of happiness I know.
Women always want to know how
they can he happy. On way is to have
interesting ideas, but I find usually
that ideal love is the happiness wo-
men long for and dream of.
The Great Power of Lasting Love
Love is a conglomeration of every-
thing on earth. That is why it Is the
greatest thing on earth. It has more
elements than anything else. That is
why it is so lasting -it is everything
expressed in the relation of two Imo -
pie toward each other,
It is physical attraction; yet this
has something deeper behind it, and
that is love. It is the possesslve in•
stiuct, yet that goes, and love re-
mains. It is youth, yet that goes and
love remains.
Love is more than a passion or a
dream -it is dynamic force. All its
counterfeits pull their victims down,
but love builds its possessors up,
strengthens them, purifies them, and
makes them keener. Between a tree
man and a true woman it creates the
perfect human personality and
thought,
IVotnen talk of love, and think that
love automatically brings happiness.
That is a kind of selfishness. No one
is happy unless he le doing something
all the time -I Mean doing something
active, physically. It does no good to.
sit hack and think about things and
not act. You must set your thought
iu motion. Though without activity
and fruition encourages discontent,
and is a blind ally to the spirit,
The Lazy Kind of Tiredness
We have had too much :emphasis on
thinlciug and not enough on action as
the result of thinking. If people
think and do not act, they want to
sleep. They get tired easily, and
think something is wrong with them.
T can tell that kind of tiredness, It
is the symptom of a drugged person.
When people are tired, when tbev
health or circumstances, yet the fault
think they need a lot of sleep, they
really need less sleep and 1010 ac-
tivity, They blame life or their
is iu themselves, and the remedy, .too.
No one ever became uuhappy except
by his or her fault. That holds true
for ,emotional disturbances as well. To
live fully in the present -in any given
present—le the greatest happiness and
experience I can think of. And that
happiness is la roach of every willing
person on earth. That's all there is to
it -the trouble, is, it's too simple, _.'
MAN'S CHARAS E'ER
The gifts of weeith, place and'pose-
tion, ease and luxury are dispensed
with a good deal of caprice, but no-
body ever heard that a character was
got by chance. The gifts of fortune
are • often taken away as rapidly as
they came, but everybody knows that
strength of soul and mind and person-
al nobility are possessions which sur -
wive the external circumstances of
life. Each man is the "captala of
his soul,"
Knowledge, in truth, is the great
sun in the firmament' Life and power
are scattered with 'all its beams. -
