One a.rm encircled his head, buried partly in the r'ug. The other carne out straight from his body and bent at the elbow. Only the white sleeve of his linen suit seemed stained by the blood that darkened the reg. The five of them stood for min- utes in. the doovWaY. It was Bar - lour who finally broke the spell. • "\\Tell, I'll be—I suppose that Iliad to happen sooner or latex'." "Maybe he's still alive," Rhoda suggested. Dale looked at her, and she thought she recognized a glimmer of something fearful In his eyes. "Let's see," he said. They, didn't .-,steed to look too closely. As ,they stood over the body, they... could rsee one side of Sayler's face. His eye was still open—still bald and • friendless. There wasn't any ques- eetion about it. Martin Sayler was ej" dead. Mardell bent down and put his hand on the dead' man's shoulder. ",Don't touch him," Dale com- manded. "What are- you trying to clap?" Mardell straightened, "I was just going to turn him over." \\'e•11, don't, Don't anyibody touch a thing. here," Hazel stiffened; "The police? Must we—" Daleturned toward her and said dully, "What do you thick?" From the library, at the other end of the room, a tall, grayhaired man in butler's livery had entered the room and Was standing stiffly at attention. "Is there anything I can do, sir?" he asked. Dale. Waiting For Tne Police Dale turned . toward the butler. "Nothing at the moment, Willows. AIr. Sayler is dead." "Yes, sir, L know." And there was no sorrow in his voles. "Go back to the kitchen and tell the others to remain there until the police arrive." Willows retreated. Dale hurried over to the desk in the southeast corner of the room, diagonally across from the doorway through which they had entered to die - corer the body. He picked up the telephone and asked for police headquarters. Barbour stood peering out of the heavily curtained French windows that broke the array of bookcases just west of the desk. Dale cau- tioned him not to touch anything and. then he turned his attention back to the instrument in his hand. NEA SERVICE C.

Three of the walls faced: outside', Along the north wall, that room could be entered from both ends —from the library or the ,reccetiou hall. 'I'lte entire room was lined with hookceses, windows, Sev":al full-length mirrors and a massive fireplace in the center of the soul wall, French windows, that openednearly to the floor, flanked eye side of Sayler's desk, On the other sidle of the fireplace, similar wvitl- dews flanked a doorway that Ica out onto a: broad terrace.

Sergeant Carroll entered. the room, tbllowed by a small, bald man with steel -rimmed spectacles anti a thin. gray mustache. "Here's the doe." Carroll said brusquely.

When con- fined to the stiff sailor straw or the Panama—both in the bleached white color there was little en- joyment and not too much com- fort in the change to straw hats. This past year brought the discov- ery of a vast new field in sum- mer hats. There are now innum- erable new featherweight, mesh - woven tropical hats, in a great variety of native weaves and pat- terns which are thoroughly in- bued with the color and comfort of modern porous, hot -weather clothes. -In all, a menu of some- thing like 300 new summer hats, each with its special quality of appearance and comfort, has been added for men's choice. With Colored Bands These new hats are trimmed with bands to express every titan's fancy and harmonize with all types of costumes—plain colors, bright print pugress in Javan Batik, polka dot and other gay patterns, two-tone bands, bands of soft -col- ored Oxford shirting. Particular- ly striking is the Mayan, Indian band, woven in Guatemala in au- thentic native patterns and colors. have Slaw Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS NONE FINER P MADE Shoes Step Out In Lively Hues MUSIC Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, which, like every creation of art, is mightier than the artist,_Beethoven.
