Jt is rather fun to choose a peurname but the editor must know to. whom the name belongs, and what school the writer attends, and important of all, the work must be by none other than the boy or girl who submits it.

Films - Found in Andree's Last Camp Sup- ply Gaps in Story (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 14.-- Much of the diary, written by mem- bers of the Andree polar balloon ex- pedition in 1897, has been obliter- sted by time and weather sinco they died, but the men left behind them twenty undeveloped films which supply some of the gaps in the story of their tragic end. Dagblad says that Professor Hertberg had 'developed 20 films found in among the expedition re- mains. A number of the negatives showed the balloon after its forced landing on the ice, which appears to have been caused by loss of gas and ice on the envelope. Another photograph shows An- dree standing beside the carcass of a polar bear he killed. Others show episodes in the march over the ice, and one is of the camp on Avitvoen, which was the island of their death | oo" |} FIND SECTION OF | GREAT WALL OF CHINA | Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 14 -- What appears to be another sec- tion of the "Great Wall of China" has been discovered in the Gobi Desert by the Sven Hedin expedi- tion, its leader informed the news- paper Dagens Nyheter by telegram. It is in the neighborhood of the river Etsingol, north of Kinta, the message said, and the section is well-preserved for a stretch of sev- eral hundred yards. Its construc- tion and materials appear to date it in the Han Dynasty.

One Guess (Christian Science Monitor) Regarding the farm purchased by ol, and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, he reader is allowed one guess as to whether it will consist mostly of cornfield or landing field. Story telling and discussions formed an interesting part of the Thanksgiving meetings. The Foursquare Group of St. Andrew's discussed "A School Girl's Sense of Honour."

Near the window was the dressing- table. Holmes examined the table very carefully with a glass. From a crevice he picked up two short hairg. Whese he examined closely, exclaiming, "Well! Well!" Then he took a small box from his vest and put the two hairs in it. Then he went to the window, opened it, looked up and down and then clos- ed it, The detective asked to be allowed to see the room directly over-head. He was taken up to the room by his Lordship, who explain- ed that the room belonged to the secretary. The room seemed to be- long to-an elderly spinster rather than a young man. Holmes went to the window and looked out. He noticed that the roof of the bower cdme up to about one foot of the window, + After having looked around the room once more they alone for a stroll in the garden. From the garden he went over to the stable, One of the grooms was standing in front of the stable smoking. Holmes asked the groom for a match to light his pipe in order to begin a conversation with him. Soon he was chatting to the groom about horses and dogs and from dogs to all other kinds of pets. From the groom he learned that the secretary had a pet monkey that was very clever. He also said that he had the monkey playing on the roof of the bower while Mr. Lyons looked on. Holmes. remembered that he had seen beside the window in the secretary's room a cage in which was a small red-haired mon- key. Having gleaned this informa- tion he strolled off in the direction of the castle, At the castle Holmes found the lord in the billiard-room. After they had played a game the detee- tive asked permission to use the secretary's room for awhile. As the secretary was in town Lord Cecil readily consented. Then having got some walnuts from the cook he went up to the room. Holmes came down again about an hour later with a glow of triumph on his face, "My lord, do you intend to prose- cute the robber if he is found?" asked Holmes. "Most certainly, was the prompt reply. "Then I can tell you now that 1 have solved the mystery," replied Holmes. Just at that moment the secretery came into the room. He apologized and was turning to leave the room when the detective detain- ed him. He told him that he was sorry to impose on him, but that he would like him to go to the village and bring back two policemen Holmes explained that he did not want any of the servants to suspect the arrival of policemen at the cas- tle. The young man consented and went out. - About half an hour later, he returned with two burly policemen. When they were brought into the study by the sec- retary Holmes- rose and greeted them, Then he asked the secretary to remain. The detective turned to the lord who was fidgety with anx- fety. After a short pause, Holmes said, while pointing to the secret- ary, "Arrest this man on the charge of robbery." At these words the young man paled and with a sigh slumped down in his chair. "My dear Holmes, do you rea- * lize what you are saying? You are accusing unjustly one of our most honest servants," said the agitated ord. "Most unfortunate, my lord, but nevertheless true. You can see yourself that your secretary does not seem innocent. Look at him, he is the picture of guilt," answer- ed the detective, "I can hardly helleve my eyes," said the astonished but enlightened lord. Then he ordered the police- men to take the secretary back to the village and told them that they would follow later, Once more in the library Holmes was explaining the crime to the amazed Lord Cecil. He told him that from the servants he had found out that the monkey had been seen on the bower roof. He was able to prove that the hairs, that he had found, belonged to the monkey with the aid of his magnifying-glass. Then he told that while he was in the secretary's room he had suc- ceeded in having the monkey pick up and return things to him with the aid of a few walnuts. He learned that the monkey was train- ed to pick up smal, light objects and bring them back to his master, The monkey was used to steal be- cauuse if he were caught everyone would say, "Oh! that mischievous monkey," and the incident would be dropped. Then Holmes reveal- ed to Lord Cecil that on the strength of their discoveries he had summon- ed the policemen, hoping that the secretary would break down and show his guiult. In this presump- tion he had been correct. The sec- retary had shown himself guilty without the shadow of a doubt. Lord Cecil warmly complimented the detective and the two men pre- pared ® go to town. As Holmes had expected, the secretary had con- fessed and had told where the brooch was hidden by the time the two men had arrived. Then they returned to the castle and found the brooch, which was hidden at the bottom of a handkerchief box.
