In this way she can develop her own combination of vegetable ingredients--and be sure they are firm and fresh. She can use the purest of vinegars, peppers and spices.

I was considerably astonished at Vance's ready acceptance, careless and bantering though it was, for there was an exhibition of old Chinese prints at the Montross Galleries that afternoon, which he had planned to attend. A Riokai and a Moyeki, said to be very fine examples of Sung painting, were to be shown; and Vance was particularly eager to acquire them for his collection. We rode with Markham to the Criminal Courts building and, entering by the Franklin Street door, took the private elevt.tor to the district attorney's spacious but dingy office which overlooked the graystone ramparts of the Tombs. Vance seated himself in one of the heavy leather-upholstered chairs near the carved oak table on the right of the desk, and lighted a cigaret with an air of cynical amusement. "I a- -ail with anticipat'ry delight the grinding of the wheels of justice," he confided, leaning back lazily. "You are doomed to not hear the operators was quite differ first turn of those wheels," retorted IjJII^-Tl^^lXA*6™ Markham. "The initial revolution will take place outside of this office." And he disappeared through a swinging door which led to the judges' chambers. minutes later he returned, and | B,ut wh" at las.1 'he>' VVGre h: ......formation had be; Their stories no randum, and with a priggish, but by no means inelegant bow went out. During the next hour Markham plunged into the general work that had accumulated during the forenoon, and I was amazed at the nan's tre- i mendous vitality and efficiency. H disposed of as many important mat ters as would have occupied the ord: nary business man for an entire day. Swacker bobbed in and out with electric energy, and various clerks appeared at the touch of a buzzer, took their orders, and were gone with breathless rapidity. Vance, who had sought diversion in a tome of famous arson trials, looked up admiringly from time to time, and shook his head in mild reproach at such spirited activity. It was just half past two when Swacker announced the return of Tracy with the four witnesses; and for tw> hours Markham questioned and cross-questioned them with a thoroughness and an insight that even I as a lawyer had rarely seen equalled. " nterrogation of the two phone Just then Swacker looked in through the door to say that Inspector Brenner was on the wire Markham picked up the telephone receiver, and as he listened he jottei down some lotes on a pad. When the call had ended, he turned to Vance. "You seemed disturbed over the condition of the steel jewel-case we found in the bedroom. Well, the expert on burglar tools just called up; an he verifies his opinion of this morning. The case was pried open with a specially made cold chisel such at only a professional birglar would carry or would know how to us"e. It had an inch-and-three-eighths beveled bit and - one-inclTflat handle. It was an old instrument--there was a peculiar nick in the blade--and is the ful house-break on upper Park Avenue early last summer. . . Does that highly exciting information ameliorate your anxiety?" "Can't say that it does." Vance had again become serious and perplexed. ""In fact it makes the situation still glimmer of light--eerie and unearthly, perhaps, but still a perceptible illumination--in all this murkiness if it wasn't for that jewel-case and the steel chisel." Markham was about to answer when Swacker again looked in and informed him that Sergeant Heath had arrived and wanted to see him. Heath's manner was far less depressed than when we had taken leave of him that morning. He accepted the cigar Markham offered him, and seating himself at the conference table in front of the district attorney's desk,! drew out a battered note-book. j "We've had a little good luck," he began. "Burke and Emery--two of the men I put on the case---,ot a line on Odell at the first place they made inquiries. From what they learned, she didn't run around with many men --limited herself to a few live wires, and pluyed the game with what you'd call finesse. . . .

The millions of men and women who use it in increasing quantities every year prove that it does relieve such pain.
