The Quality Tea , -SALAM TEA SERtAL STORY Murder on the Boardwalk BY ELI MORE QCM/\H STONE Last Week: Chandra traps Wil- met, identifies him as Mrs. Tal- bcrt's missing nephew. He accuses HViImet of stealing his silver dag- ger, declares that both Mrs. Tal- bcrt and her -.lephew had bad vision. The fragments of glasses found in the wheel chair may iden- tify Wilmet as the murderer. CHAPTER XVIII Mr. Wilmet had sprung to his lert. "But this is preposterous!" he cried. "Why â€" why, I was the one who brought you here! If I" â€" "Because, Inspector" â€" Chan- dra's voice was a gentle purr â€" "another trait Earl Talbert shared with his aunt. Inspector, was the delusion that, single-handed, he could outwit the world. But now" â€" the clairvoyant stood, suddenly very tall, it seemed to Christine, over the blustering little man â€" "he is going to tell the whole story. "You are going to tell us, my friend, how gloating over the trick by' which you robbed your aunt 12 years ago, you persuaded your- self that you were sufficiently the 'master mind' for a much more dar- ing crime. ... I doubt if you in- tended murder in the beginning. But probably, after you had drugged Mrs. Talbert and taken what you supposed to be valuable bonds, you realized that she had recognized you'' â€" "1 didn't!" Mr. Wilmet's round face was white and drenched with sweat. "1 â€" why, I never heard of the woman before last night. . . . Inspector, he's trying to â€" for God's sake, don't let him do this!" He was cowering before the clairvoyant as he might before an evil genius. For without any of the trappings or stage-setting of liis craft, Chan- dra was again the Oriental mystic Christine had seen that other night; his voice was the purring, hypnotic voice of the seer; his blazing yel- low eyes held Mr. Wilmet's eyes as if in a snare. It was mummery â€" but it was terribly convincing mummery. * ♦ * "Tell them," he commanded, "how, before you had drugged your aunt into helplessness, you forced her to write those letters. Tell them how, after you had held her in her own car whih you made sure Jaspar had obeyed her orders, you drove her, by night, to her own abandoned home, and hid her there while you rifled the house for anything you might find that could help to point suspicion to someone else. , . "Tell them that you even felt safe in leaving -her alone there, drugged as she was, because you remembered her prejudice against the police, and you knew that Jas- par would respect her orders. ...Tell them how you found Miss Thorenson's photograph and her telegram .saying when she would arrive, and thought how cunningly you might turn them to your own advantage. . . "Perhaps, at first, you consid- tred killing your aunt there in her «mpty house; but it was neccessary to your infantile exhibitionism to do the thing in a really spectacular way, and you had more ideas than you knew what to do with...

"Mrs. Talbert hadn't taken her key with her." Christine, watching as if in a fantastic nightmare, saw the little man freeze as he understood how much he had told in those five words; then leap to his feet and dash blindly, strji^ht into the arms of two uniftj'rmed men who had appeared in the doorway. "Get his keys," tlie inspector ordered. .<>• When one of the officers hand- ed the ring to him, he passed it to Jaspar, a silent question in the gesture. "Yes, sir," Jaspar almost whis- pered. "The middle one." ••.\11 right. Take him to the bureau. . . Well" â€" even Inspec- tor Parsons looked white and shaken as his subordinates led the hysterical man away â€" "I've seen a third degree or two; but at least policemen don't hit mugs over the head with black magic... And now, suppose you tell me how you know all tliis." * * * "Because, sir'' â€" Jaspar spoke â€" "after I â€" left your office last night, I thought it best to have a look at the house. I'd kept one key, because I felt that as soon as I could, I must go back. . . .But someone had been there before me. Everytliing was turned upside down." "Much as we found it when we went out early this morning," the inspector nodded. "Perhaps you'll understand now why I was so mucli interested in your keys, Yardlcy. That story you told about absent-mindedly taking a key from a strange car and putting it into your pocket sounded pretty feeble. . Anytliing taken, Jaspar?" "Mrs. Talbert's will, sir â€" I suppose it was he sent that to the newspapers; and a pair of Mrs. Talbert's shoes" â€" "The ones," the inspector ex- FRENCHMAN FIGHTS FOR REVENGE â- Su'.,Jmua~W/ueUi) Your own crochet hook can cre- ate the smartest bags.

One of my men found them buried deep in the sand where Yardley told us about having seen Wilmet pottering around the eve- ning before. Until now. I wasn't entirely sure Mr. Y'ardlty liadn't put tliem there himself." "And," Jaspar finished, "Miss Christine's signed portrait and her message saying when she would arrive. I wouldn't be surprised if he was at the station when her train came in." "He was at the newsstand, hid- den behind a paper." Chandra con- firmed that. ".\nd he followed her to licr hotel." "Well" â€" tlie inspector looked almost satisfied â€" "now we only need those faked bonds." From a tangle of images, one started out clean-lined in Chris- tine's tired memory. "I think tliat if you pried up the top of tiiat stone bench at the back of tlic booth," she said, "you might find sometliing underneath." When slie explained about ihat first morning â€" her heel sinking into soft concrete, Mr. Wilmet's voluble explanations â€" the inspec- tor went to the telephone and gave an order. ".Mtogethcr," he said, turning back, "that bird used up enough ideas in one nnirdcr to last a goodt honest crook a lifetime. . . But the tiling that puzzled me worst he apparently liadn't had a finger in. You wondered how I knew tliat those bonds were your coufni's. Miss Thoreiison. I found sonieiliing among them that you missed.'' He took a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Christine. It was a short note in Cousin Emma's hand. "My dear Christine," it said. "If anything should happen to prevent our visit, Jaspar will hand you these. "Take good care of them, for the bonds are non-registered; so, of course, anyone could use them. They are yours, as most of what I possess will be in the end. Affectionately yours, Emma Talbert." "This morning," the inspector said, "I'd have sold my soul to know who really wrote that." The telephone rang, and he hur- ried to answer. "He has? Good work!" they heard him say. "I'll be right up. . . .Well," he hung up, "Miss Tho- renson was right about that bench. Mr. Earl Talbert has shot the works in his confession. I guess that cleans up the slate." "Xot entirely." Chandra extend- ed a hand. "I'd like my glasses." "Your â€" what?" "I was sure," Chandra explained evenly, "that he'd lost his spares somewhere â€" even if it wasn't in my studio â€" or he would not have been wearing a pair of sun-glasses with ordinary lenses." "You mean," the inspector said after a blank silence, "that you hypnotized that poor nut with your own spectacle case?" "Something like that," Chandra admitted. Then he murmured witli a strange, tired smile â€" Christine recognized the question â€" " 'But there was sonicthiug in it â€" tricks and all.' (THE END) SU ND A Y SCHOOL L E SJON September 3.

Memory 'Verse: I will sing unto Jeliovah. Exodus 15:1. Condemnation of Saul "Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying. . . and he cried unto Jehovah all night." The conduct of Samuel on this occasion affords a remarkable instance of his genuine piety. Samuel loved God first, and then Israel, and then Saul, but God first. He was sorrow- ful because of the king's disobed- ience to God. "And Samuel rose early to meet Cookies With Your Coolers GoMjcudxils ^iximdoM ^rnokz Serve your favorite tall cool drinks with a plateful of bran refrig- erator cookies to keep them company.

Saul atteiiii>ls to disguise his guilt benuath a formal benedic- )i(Mi and aggravates it by a declara- tion tliat lie liad fuliillcd the com- mand of jfliovah. By taking this bold, boastful position he thouglit he could deceive .Samuel, and save himself from reproof, (juilty men usually a.ssert an air of innocence and show great resentment at the least charge of guilt. Saul's Insincerity "And .Samuel said, what mcancth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ear.s, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?" One falsehood needs many others to cover it. The bleating of the sheep immediately gave the lie to Saul's boastful claims. "And Saul said, tliey have brought them from the .Kmalekitcs: for the people spared tlie best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sa- crifice unto Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed." Saul made a despicable attempt to throw the blame for what he had done upon the people, but Sa- muel clearly detected the falsehood and exposed Saul's guilty conduct. Saul's Ingratitude "Then Samuel said unto Saul, stay, and I will tell thee what Jeho- vah hath said to me this night. . . and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah?" The sin of Saul was one of base ingratitude. When raised to his exalted position, instead of being humble, grateful, obedient he be- came proud, ungrateful and dis- obedient. Humility is a sign of true greatness; pride a sign of littleness. Why did Saul not obey ihe Lord? It was because he followed his own selfish inclination. It was the spirit of covetousness, not Godliness, which made Saul and the people 'fly upon the spoil.'

Saul con- tinues to make the same excuse, showing no repentance, no sorrow for sin. Unless something tremen- dous happens to a man like this, he is going on to disaster, and on to disaster Saul went. Saul's Hopelessness "And Samuel said. Hath Jeho- vah as great delight in burnt-offer- ings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." The propliets taught that all exter- nal ceremonial is worthless if the worshipper's life is not in line with the will of God. * Saul's Rejection "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and leraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Je- hovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king." Because Saul by his flagrant disobedience had rejected God's word, he was re- I jected by God. CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Oh dear, what a week of swelter- ing heat this has been â€" and no possible way of keeping cool. It is just as hot to do nothing as it is to keep on working â€" which after all is a comforting thought since one has to keep on working anyway. However we did have a few days that were really en- joyable â€" for which I was verj' thankful as our Saturday-to-Mon- day visitors stayed for nearly a week. They called it a holiday but Partner's brother was helping with the harvest all the time, while Jessie was giving me no end of help in the house. Young Betty was here, there, and everywhere, apparently having a grand time. Keally, I would call them the "per- fect guests' because they were on time lor breakfast! ♦ * « While they were here we fin- ished getting in the barley. I say "we" because I was helping too. Yes, I did something I haven't done in years â€" I worked in the mow. The first two loads Partner pitched off tlie sheaves and Colin and I placed them in the movir. The rest of the loads were built on slings. In case our non-farmer readexs don't know what I mean by "slings" perhaps 1 had better explain. » * • Ropes, specially made for the purpose, are laid across one half of the rack. The sheaves are laid across the ropes, first one way and then another until a bundle is built. This is repeated three times The load is then brought to the barn, the ropes are tightened and hooked on to the hayfork cart. The next thing you see is the horses pulling a huge swaying bundle to the top of th6 barn, over to the mow, and then, when the trip rope is pulled, the tightly packed sheaves drop down in the mow in one solid mass. .\fter the load has been dumped it is generally one person's job to dis- entangle the sheaves and place them where they should go. It is hard work any time but at ninety-iii-the-shade tempertaure â€" and under a steel roof â€" it is really something. You want to try it sometime. * * * I am sitting by tlu front door writing this column and just now a strange sound smote my cars. It was the rythmic sound of horse.s hooves on the highway. I watched and in a few minutes a norse and buggy went by. What is the world going back to! The other night I heard a very different sound , . . a terrific bang . . . somebody's tire had blown out. Presently I heard men's voices but they were too far off for me to hear what was said â€" which was pro- bably just as well under the cir- cumstances.
