THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1927. Full of Flavour ^ "SALADA" TEA So why accept exhausted bulk tea. .4 ii at ft CarxSyn Wells what has gone before. From the verandah of the Hotel Majusaca, at Ocean Town, N.J., Titus Kiggs, a guest, sees a man taken from the,ocean and laid on the beach while the crowd gathers to stave. The reader has been introduced to these batheis: Ned Barron the cop per king and his wife, Madeline; Angelica Fair and her nance, Robin Sears; Robin's father, Croydon Sears; Carmelita Valdon and her companions, Roger Nevjlle, Garrett Folsom and Mrs. Barnaby, whom everyone calls the Duchess. From the shocked expression on the faces of the throng, Riggs "What is it? Why i i you so up- ■at the man is dead and, putting down bis field glasses, he hastens dvwn to the beach, to find that the dead man is Garrett Folsom.

Come, sit down here and I will tell you all I know about With a scared, white face, Carmelita sank down on a divan in the lobby, beside Neville, who began to talk to her in low tones. It was late afternoon now, and the guests of the hotel were coming in from golf or from dancing on the piers or riding in the wheeled chairs. Groups of gay and laughing people stood about, strains of low music could be heard as the orchestra in the palm rcom pursued its program, and the pleasant scent from the potted plants gave charm to the atmosphere. Few knew or cared about the tragedy that had taken place that morning that even now was developing a dark and sinister side. The management strove to keep the matter secret, fcr of all things to be avoided in a summer hotel is any hint rf growsomer.ess or crime. Death is bad enough and must be hidden as carefully as possible, but murder! The mere bint of violent death would send many of the best patrons scurrying from the placs, and would cast a gkom over the house that would ruin its prospects for the whole And already the watchful Tuttle could note signs of curiosity and apprehension on the faces of some of the onlookers. Though most of the groups in the lobby appeared free and light-hearted as usual, yet other faces showed a restlessness and an effect of suspicion that all was Somehow a breath of mystery bad sting,! made itself felt; somehow, a hint of ; don't ind Myrtle ,'s make a tell I won't tell you was.

So far, they had net listeners spoke a word, their faces effected much improvement, but they persevered hopefully, and meantime they called on Tubby, whose census name was Thomas Riordan, for any errand that required a dash of brains. A little unwillingly, Neville rose to obey the summons, and they followed the boy to the room designated. "We're sorry to seem persistent in our appeals to you, Mr. Neville," Pel-ham said, apologetically, "but there is no one in the hotel who knew Mr. Folsom so well as you seem to. Wherefore, I see no other way but your advice, or rather, your approval of my procedure. After all, it is me ly a matter of form, for there ds choice possible on my part. Doctor Manning, here, informs me that Mr. Folsom was killed while in the ocean. Therefore, I am bound to report the matter to the authorities at once. But I deemed it wise to tell you of this, for until Mr. Folsom's sister can get here, I know of no one who is in any way concerned in his interests." "You did just right, Mr. Pelham," Carmelita returned, not waiting for Neville to speak. "Mr. Neville only friend of Mr. Folsom's here that we know of. And surely, if anyone else knew him, ward and say so. At any rate, Mr. Neville will take charge in any way be can until Miss Folsom comes. Will you tell me how Mr. Folsom v killed?" But Pelham had many matters his mind. Chief among them was get out and mingle with the guests of his hotel, in a hope that he could t at rest the seething interest that as already making '.tself noticeable. "Doctor Manning will tell you all," be said, rather nervously. "And Mr. Dixon, here, will do whatever is nec- He slipped through the door, and Dixon immediately assumed leader- "Doctor Manning saw Mr. Folsom this, morning as he was carried from the ocean and laid on the beach. As nothing was asked of Doctor Manning except whether or not Mr. Folsom dead at the time, he pronounced life extinct, and then left the matter entirely in charge of the beach authorities. The body was brought here at once, and as Doctor Manning had a luncheon engagement elsewhf is only just now that he has returned and responded to our call for a death certificate. But here and ing made a further examination of Mr. Folsom's body, Doctor Manning tells us that death was not due to natural causes. Perhaps, Doctor, you will tell Mr. Neville the facts of the matter. Manning was of small stature, and possessed of the pompous dignity and sense of personal importance that small men sometimes exhibit. He cleared his throat and, raising his hand, shook an impressive forefinger as he said: "Mind you, I was not called f^(te morning in any official, or even professional capacity capacity. I was merely asked, as the nearest medical man, whether the man carried in frjorr the surf was dead or alive. This question I answered at once, as life was positively extinct. Then, no further responsibility devolving on me, I went my way, not dreaming of any other reason for the man's demise thi some natural cause. But as I had not been asked to determine this cause, I saw no reason for obtruding my further services, and I went about my business.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz," she sang as sts«» flew over the garbage pail where she had laid her eggs only ten days before. In that time the tiny white worms, called maggots, and now each one of the little maggots had turned into a fly. "Buzz, bu bu, buzz," sang all the little Baby Flies, as they flew about the garbage pail, nibbling at all the dirty things in it, and collecting hundreds of tiny germs on their hairy legs and feet. "Buzz, buzz! Come with me," called Mother Housefly, "and I'll find you a fine dinner." - Then she flsw off with all the Baby Flies trailing along behind. They flew back to the screen door, and Mother Housefly found a hole near the bottom just big enough for her and all the Baby Flies to crawl through. izz, buzz, zzzz," they all sans they spied the fresh frosted cake, ware, beware," cautioned Mother Housefly. "Watch out for the swatter will get caught. Wait until no looking, then we'll all have a feast." So when the Cook was cut of sight the Fly Family was busy eating cake. In the. same dirty shoes with which they had walked all over the dirty garbage pail, they now tracked the fresh frosted cake, taking a ;re and a bit there. Many of the germs that had clung to their hairy legs in the garbage pail, stuck fast to the fresh frosting. But in a few minutes the Cook cams hurrying back from the kitchen.,..

The Cook swatted at them left and right, everyone escaped and flew up to the ceiling. "You naughty flics, so that's what u like," said the Cook, "I'll get you w.' So she cut a tiny piece from the fresh cake and placed it right in the middle of the table, the rest sho put back into the cupboard. Then over the tiny piece .of cake she placed a lit-screen house with only one door, 1 went back to the kitchen again. Buzz, buzz, buzz," sang the Fly Family when they spied the ;)iece of cake in tITe-little screen house. They flew 'round and 'round it and at last found the little door.
