Stilt there was no news of Euan Graham, and a few days later M. Rivaux, of the Surete, called by ap- pointment to see Mrs, Gorst. Grant, his friend Dan Washburn and the Wintons, as persons conceru- ed, were also present. Rivaux was a round, pompous little man, yellow of complexion, whom Washburn disrespectfully described as looking like the canary after it had eaten the cat--triumphant, but over- "full. He seated himself where he could see everyone, glanced at some notes in his hand, then gave each them a long penetrating look. ~ "Hope he's not going to say grace," whispered Grant. In. reply, Washburn recited beneath his breath: "In all that we're going to say, Lord 'The examination opened by Rivaux shooting a somewhat peculiar remark at Helen Gorst. : "It is a great pity that Mademoi- selle Gra'am will not tell us anything."

That is a little . strange, is it not?" Tt "Of course, Miss Graham has ask- 'ed of her brother," Hélen explained patiently. - "Her first conscious words were of him, but Doctor Thomas says it is most important that she should 'not worry. I could not, therefore, tel! her that he was missing." : Rivaux regarded Helen a moment, then asked: - "And what have you told her, Ma- dame?" : rally "I sald that Mr. Graham was in hospital in Nice." 3 A silence followed whilst Rivaux consulted the paper in his hand. Sud- denly he looked up. td "What kind of a young gentleman was this M. Gra'am?" "I guess he was a swell guy," came laconically from Washburn, "Un 'svell guy?" What is that, monsieur?" Grant chuckled and gave his com- panion's shoulder a friendly slap. "It's American for .a good fellow, monsieur." 4 "Ah, je comprends." Helen waited the least bit anxiously. She was grateful to Washburn for his support, but did not think his da- scription very apt. , Rivaux turned his gaze to Doreen. "Now you, madame. M. Gra'am was in your villa for two weeks. What do you think?" ) Her lips twisted into a somewhat "Mr. Graham was my guest. Na- turally I agree with Mr. Washburn." "Um." . Suddenly hig little eyes rested oa Winton and it came to him that the big Englishman did not agree with his wife. "And you, M. le=Colonel, did you find M. Gra'am un 'svell 'guy'? Winton moved his féet uncomfor- stammered ¢ "I--I did not know him very well." "Comment? When. he was in your villa for two weeks?" "He was a friend of my wife's, I play golf all day and did. not see him "often." Rivaux nodded. » "So--he was a friend of Madame your wife's. And when you were play- mg golf what did M. Gra'am do?" . Doreen opened a thin gold case and took out a cigarette before answering with a question, "What has all this to do with you?

It is hoped this discovery will xt of Walter of Hen- ley's book to be ascertained. Most of the existing codices are littered with interpolations. The treatise was in general use as a practical guide to agriculture from the reign of Henry III to Henry VIII. In this period agriculture underwent many changes, and the owners of the various extant coples of "Husbandry" kept on amending them 80 as to bring them abreast of the The present uninterpolated manuseript is therefore held to be of great value as restoring the original thirteenth-century text, 'The treatise has been exhibited at a enable the true see things, you will only see words and. that will not do, this is of course if you intend to be a writer.

Explanations and recitations were conducted according to a set form, deviations from which were: seldom allowed. Consequently Keith needed some outlet, His emo- tions were warping, ARS Aa After this talk he was perplexed and unhappy, and finally he ran away, across the town, to an older, married 2 sister's home. He had made up his mind he would not apologize or go back to school. : While at his sister's, it grew dark - and it was agreed by phone that Keith could stay all night but must go to Miss Brown and apologize the next morning. Now, Miss Gruegler,-a teach. er of the same-grade that Keith was: in, but from another school, was a guest at the older sister's home that evening. She invited Keith to visit her at her school some day. : Next morning Keith was started to school. He thought hard, and decided, instead, to visit Miss Kruegler, He felt sure-that his parents would never look for him at any school, - Miss Kruegler welcomed him warm. ly, then phoned his sister, who ex- plained the situation, 'It was agreed that Keith should remain, and Miss Kruegler should study him and give an opinion on the case. : This was Keith's report that night: "Sis, Miss Kruegler is a brick!

I have a rip- roarin' good book entitled 'Magnetic Fun and Facts' by A. C. Gilbert and H. D, Stone." Then after a moment, "Say, Sis, can 1 stay here with you and get a transfer over here to Miss Kruegler's 'room? 1'd like school if 1 bad her for a teacher." The family discussed the situation with Miss Kruegler and the proper school authorities and came to the wise conclusion that they would allow Kelth to remain with his sister and change teachers for that semester.
