He turned with a violent move- ment, striding toward the door.

An old trunk had been pulled out under one of the lights for easier perusal. It stood open. There was a damp red slain on the bare boards where the blood had spilled from Sybil'*, wound. McCale dropped down beside the trinik, asking curlly, "The weapon?" "The |)olice took it away â€" a chim- ney brick wrapped in a towel. The towel was from the third floor bath- room." Miss .Adelaide's eyes avoided the blood on the floor. Miss liigelow's voice came hollow- ly, futility dulling it. "Then it must have been â€" oh. if it were not true â€" b>it it must â€" " "Yes," he said (|uietly. "It could only have been the murderer of Curt \ allaincourt and Sliari Lynnâ€" the person who attempted to remove me from the world last nightâ€" here in this house.

He began to go through the con- tents of the trunk, swiftly, urgently. h was apparent that Sybil had stored her keepsakes there. Written labels were pinned to a number of articles. There was a girl's white dress with a card that read: "Victoria's gradu- ation." Sybil's own wedding gown. Two envelopes contained locks of Stephen's and Victoria's childhood curls. There were several school books. As he removed other souvenirs from the depths of their hiding place, a brand-new picture of Sybil flashed across his mind. She was revealed, not so much as the woman who clung so desperately to her fading youth, who made vapid, silly conversation, who bolstere<l her empty middle-age with sherry, but more as a doting mother secretly keeping alive the brighter moments of a not too easy life. McCale unfolded a large black silk handkerchief, the last thing in th^ trunk. "This?" A puzzled look came over her face. She struggled with memory. "I don't know. 1 can't place that. Could it have been my brother's.'" "1 hardtv think so.' ' * * * . He fingered it, feeling the coarse pull of the .silk. A signal seemed to I low from the material in his hand along his arm, into his brain. His thoughts clouded, then grew l>right, as tlicy played liide-aiid-seck with the iiilinilisnial shadow of an idea. He sat on his haunches, rooted to the spot, unwilling to let the flicker- ing image go. He spoke slowly to him.self. "Syb- il was haunted by an idea. She had been frightened and wary for the last two days. She had been drown- ing her thoughts in wine ever since. Uut this afternoon, it must have got the best of her. She had to prove it, right or w rong. The proof must have been in this trunk. Sure- ly, if the murderer followed her here, the evidence was removed after she was knocked unconscious with the improvised blackjack. Yet one small piece of evidence ^ was missed, left behind. It is here in my hand I feel it. I know it". He folded the kerchief carefully, slipped it into his pocket. Some- thing told him that he too, knew the answer to the black silk square. Quickly his mind went back to the afternoon of \ allaincourt's murder. Reason pointed out to liim that in the few minutes before or directly after Curt's death, Sybil had made the discovery that shattered her aplomb, iiut he, himself, had been almost an eye-witness to that kill- ing. Jle hunclied over stock-still, recalling the sequence of events as they had occurred. ♦ ♦ ♦ Suddenly, revelation poured over bis mind like a searchlight. He jumped up. Placing a firm hand on Miss Bigclow's arm, he guided her, surprised and bewildered to the stairway. "We must go down iuiinediately," lie said. "Is everyone at home? You said Christopher Storm was here." "Yes. They arc all here some- where. Must you see them all?" "Not yet." He strode ahead of her on the third floor hall. He reached the door of the second floor drawing room before she was half way down the second stairway. As he went in, Karen stopped playing. She sat cold and austere at the piano, letting her long fin- gers rest quickly on the keyboard. She turned toward him as he quick- ly crossed the room to her side. She seemed a figure of ice, but her eyes were binning with a chill, fierce flame. "You drew $800 at your bank this morning," He hurled the statement at her. "Why?" .\ sullen smile turned up one cor- ner of her nioutth. She shrugK«l- He waved • hand in exasperation.

YourHendwritirig and You Mex By S. Amott The love of detail is shown in the handwriting in many wn>s. It is mostly shown by the fol- lowing signs-T-vcry small and rounded letters, careful dotting of Ihe letter "i", short and accurate crossing of the lelter "t." inser- tion of punctuation marks and ((uoialion marks with great care, and sparing use of abreviations throughout t' e script. All these signs indicate that the writer is careful about details and is at his best when dealing with small work that rciiuires palicnee and precision. The writer is not likely to hurry in making deci- sions but must consider the details of a problem bcrore conimitting himself to an obligation. Good judgment usually accompanies the detail writer as he has the ability to reflect and consider in detail the important features of his observations. When the letter "i" has the dot close to yje Jop of the letter it is an indication iTiat the writer has a good memory.

Sunday School Lesson God In His World GOLDEN TEXr.-lhe hearing ear, and the seeing eye, The Lord halh made even both of Ihein - -Proverbs 2<):12. in reading the Book of Job it is important to remember that it is an ancient drama in which various char- nctcrs are speaking and note in eacli instance just who the speaker is. Otherwise we may find ourselves taking as "the word of God" state- ments of Eliphaz, Bildad or Zophar, all three of whom are specifically . represented by God, later in the Book, as not having spoken the "thing that is right." (.lob 42:7). The late Professor Moulton in his ''Modern Iteaders' Bible" sought to guard such misinterpretations of Biblical truth by presenting and ar- rangin,g the Scriptures in their prop- er literary form, litis is particularly helpful in portions of the Bible like the Book of Job. ♦ » « The message of the Book is that, in spite of all the doubts. difTicullies, and problems, the dramatic portions have been presented with all the real- ism with which they have confronted succeeding generations in their quest of God, and in ihcir questionings concerning His providence. The Hebrew poets and prophets were realists in facing all the facts. They saw the dark and terrible as- pects of some things in the world and in human experience But they laid hold of the great, positive, incontrovertible facts of a world that could not be, or be up- held, without a Creator and Ku'cr. They found evidences of law and order and goodness. They asserted. "The heavens de- claic the glory of God. and the firm- ament shewcth His handiwork. Day unto da\- uttcreth speech, and night unto night shewcth knowledge." « * * So. here in the \'<Mt{: of Job, as clsev. hire, they asserted the fact of God in His world. "The carlli is the Lord's and the fullness thereof â€" the world and they that dwell therein." Jt was the fool, tluy said. v>lio had dcc'ared in his heart that there was no Cod.
