After oemg perfunctarily examined by a doctor, the body is brought to the iiotel Majusaca, where an inquiry is starter. Folsom's bathing companicns had been Roger Neville, Mrs. Helen Bar-naby and Carmelita Valdon. It is established that Foisom, just before his death, had been standing next to Ned Barron, known as the copper king. Then the startling announcement ie made that Foisom had been stabbed to death in the water. Ros3, his valet, is questioned, as are Barron and his wife, but no light is shed on the mystery. Anastasia Foisom, eccentric and masterful sister of the dead man, arrives and takes command. At the inquest it is established that the death weapon was a pichaq, an Oriental knife, and that it and its scabbard had been purchased on the boardwalk. It is also established that Croydon .Sears is a fancier of curious knives. Anastasia engages Titus Riggs _ to work on the case. He asks permission to go through the dead man's effects. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XXIV. There were but few at the I'i service of Garrett Foisom. Of course, Miss Foisom and Dan Pelton were the chief mourners. They were attended by Paxton and who behaved as proper servants should and watched for any opportunity of ministering to the wants of their employers. Tite Riggs and Robin Sears attended, for they had the case well in hand now, and Riggs, like a hunter keen for prey, lost no possible chance to glean any bit of information, scarce hoped to pick up any at the the funeral, but there might be hint or suggestion in the attitudes of the dead man's relatives that would be enlightening.' And there were some who dropped in out of mere idle curiosity, and others who were there because they chanced to be in the neighborhood. Pelton had locked the door of hi suite and thrown the key on the office desk as he came downstairs. But that did not keep intruders from his rooms. Scarcely had he left the hotel, company with his aunt, than two smiling young people, with shrewd eyes watching out for spies, slipped quietly along the corridor and one of them, the girl, produced a key and quickly gained entrance t othe locked "Here we are, Tubby," Myrtle said, as they reached their goal and locked the door behind them. But after all their errand was of no more sinister intent than to look vet> my beauty. I'll have you again at the French dolls, which still sat in --and soon!'

Now, if that's your lay, here's where you get off! March!" Tubby's rotund form was propelled toward the door by the agile and vigorous Myrtle. Tubby was loth to go, but he had to do so or make a scene, which might call the attention of the chief of the chambermaids and get a sound berating for Myrtle, if not for himself. He made one last plea. "Aw, lemme stay here a little minute more, Myrt, and I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll ask the old girl myself to give you one of the dolls. Or I'll ask Mr. Pelton. He sorter likes me." "He won't like you if he hears you've been digging into his luggage! And I'll tell him, if you cten't cleai outa here! Wait till I see if the way'i safe." Cautiousry Myrtle opened the door a crack, saw that the hall was empty and then, pushing Tubby through, she followed and locked the door with her pass key. Myrtle was one of the most trustworthy chambermaids on the staff, and never had shs been false to the trust, nor entered a room except on her legitimate errands, until she had fallen under the spell of the wonder-| ful dolls. Why they fascinated her I so, she couldn't have told, but she was I far from being alone in her adoration 'of the siren faces and bewitching garb of the puppets. She had almost made up her mind to ask Mr. Foliom for one, for he had smiled on Myrtle ui a way that she understood to imply his favor. Then came his sudden an terrible death, and from that time on the girl had snatched any opportunity she could get to hang over and fuss with the dolls. Yet she was too afraid of the vague horror that seemed to hang round Garrett Folsom's rooms to venture 'M IN CHARGE OF THESE ROOMS there lone. True, she had done so the time that Carmelita caught her hiding there. But the intrusion of that lady had so scared Myrtle that never again had she gone into the,t,enefit. fr°m. physical, education ii Even the giraffe has not the fur hunters, and this coat of his strikingly marked hide is one of the favorites in London this fall. human-looking fairies, she went about her regular routine of work. Later, she was startled to receive a summons from Dan Pelton himself. "Well, Myrtle," that gentleman said, a little sharply, "so you s your time in here while I was at my uncle's funeral." "No, sir," she said, glibly. ' that, Mr. Pelton. I came in her* with the fresh towels, but I didn't spend my time here." "Didn't hang round a bit?" "Only to look at the dolls," she said, thinking it might be her opportunity. "Oh, Mr. Pelton, aren't they beautiful? Oh, I do love 'em so!" "Do you? Well, well, perhaps I'll have to give you one.

Miss Jessie Heriott, M.A.B.Sc, director of physical education for women at Mc-Gill University, pointed out in an address to the Business and Professional Women's Club. In giving physical education he must be considered as a personality and not as a mass of bone or muscle, Miss Heriott maintained. The body, mind, and personality were too closely associated to be treated separately. The current idea then of physical education is to satisfy the whole man. Therefore it should not be regarded as a restorative for the moment it is placed in the category of thing3 "that are good for you" ,jt becomes merely physical training. only way to derive the full "Hey, Tubby, don't you do that!' the girl cried out.

Don't make me sorry I let you in here. You said you wanted to see the dolls." "Huh, I only said that to make you let me in! I don't want to see those silly things! They make me sick!" "Then we've got to get out. 1 never believe you again! But I afraid to come in here alone, and, of course, if anyone is here, I can't touch 'the dolls. Oh, you lovely! You beauty!"

"No; he seems to like them a little, but Mr. Foisom, he acted like they "Then I bet Mr. Pelton would give you one. Or ask the old girl. She'd do it." "I dunno. Miss I'olsom is nice some ways; then again she's a terror." Taking advantage of Myrtle's absorption in the dolls, Tubby had opened a suitcase of Dan Pelton's and was rummaging among its contents.

Irving, a six foot, handsome specimen of manhood,'aged 25, biue-eyed, with golden curly hair, sat in the Seamen's Institute recently almost as helpless as a babe in arms despite the great strength his huge limbs indicate. He was waiting for Ritchie Bell, the manager of the Institute, to take him to the station, where would board the train for his home at Cape Traverse, Prince Edward Island, in care of the train officials. •He was an able seaman aboard the S.S.

"I was looking at the clock on the wheelhouse," he explains, "and saw that it was seven minutes to midnight. That was the last thing I have seen. A cloud seemed trj descent upon me, and I could not see the compass or the wheel even, and I thought that I had strained my eyes with gazing too long into ,the compass. My relief came up at 12 o'clock to take over the wheel, and asked me the course, and I told him. He asked me what I was doing, as the ship was a couple of points off her course, and I told him that I could not. see, but that it was only a spasm. You see, I had heard of people going blind for a couple of hours and thought that I was experiencing the same thing. He told me to turn in, and sleep it off, and I went down to take his advice. I did not tell the officer of the watch, but in the morning, when I was called again, I found that I could not see a thing, and the captain came down "The blindness persisted, and I gan to despair, still hoping, however, every morning that I would wake up able to see again as well as ever, I have been told by the authorities at the Royal Vic oria Hospital that they cannot do anything for me and that I will probably be* blind for the rest of my life.

With wiser training our children might readily escape the specific fears and the general anxieties, timidities, and lf-doubts, which so woefully hamper them. But you can never rout fear with brutal, radical or "heroic" measures. It is cruel to force a child, as is often done, to endure alone just what it most fears. You are not making him brave--no, not even if he conceals his fears to please you. The fear pressed below the surface lives l and festers there. Ridicule or honest amusement are likewise useless. Fear, no matter how foolish it sounds to the unfearing, Is real a thing to be laughed off. It calls always for gentleness, sympathy, serious effort tc understand the ise, patient reassurance, and in many cases, skillful re-education in which pleasant associations or better understanding 0n the child's part drive out the fear.
