BEGIN HERE TO-DAY. Bamuel Honeybun, retired English countryman, finds blood in his rain Shuge on the morning of the murder of Sir Francis Lathrop. Sir Guy Lathrob, nephew, and en- gaged to marry Margaret, daughter, of Sir Francis, is suspected of t murder. He escapes arrest by going into hiding, Meanwhile-- Adrian' Klyne, detetive, employed by Margaret, working with Adela] Larkin, has obtained evidence against the Honeybuns and their chauffeup, | Wilmot, called Monkey Face. 5 | In revenge, Monkey Face has hid-} den himself in a cave back of the Larkin home, with intention of kid- napping Adela and bringing Klyne within striking distance through the capture. Adela has left the house to pick berries near the cave and Wil- mot has been watching her-through a spy-hole. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. About the time that Adela Larkin's prematurely received letter was be- ing perused by a pair of very serious eyes at the Cheveral inn, Inspector Roake entered his room at Scotland Yard and flung his cap into a cornen He was angry and dispirited. His specialty of combing London for a "wanted" man for once had proved a dead failure. Not a trace of Sir Guy Lathrop had he been able to pick up. The newly fledged baronet whom he was determined to saddle with his uncle's murder refused to let him put the saddle on. He went to his desk-and picked up4 . the mail which had accumulated dur- ing the day. It was a fairly heavy one, including all the deliveries since the morning one, for he had been hunting for many hours. An enve- lope with the Cheverel postmark re- paid his rapid sorting. Eagerly he tore it open and read: "Dear Mr. Roake--You had better come back. I have spotted your man for you. He is holed up in his own earth at the Grange, T played an Innocent little trick" all" on' my 'own and wormed it out of Mrs. Vansittart, the old geezer who is supposed to boss the show but doesn't. Talk about pulling chestnuts out of the fire. I bad to retrieve her parrot after opening its cage myself, and got se- verely pecked for my pains. But Mrs. V. coughed up the needful and you are fairly on te it. Sir Guy is there all right--Yours faithfully, "JAMES HONEYBUN." The Inspector voiced his glee in a throaty chuckle. He was about to press a button, which would bring the fastest of the Yard cars to the door, when his telephone bell rang. "Yes," he answered the call. " "In- spector Roake speaking." "I am""--there was a slight pause --"Bulpeter, at Cheverel. I have great news for you, good enough to bring you down sharp." "Just heard about it from another source," Roake replied. "You refer, of course, to Lifthrop being at the Grange?" "On the contrary my mews doesn't touch Lathrop at all. From an ac- cessory 1 'have secured a confession implicating the actudl murderer, though my informant has absconded, incidentally kidnapping a lady. 1 "The RED RAIN YS ERY. mm ITEADON.

"Look here," said Roake in a rasp- ing voice that ought to have snapped the wire, "you haven't fallen for the red rain stunt, have you, my lord?" "The red rain is the winning horse," came the reply. "It really isn't my fault, Inspector. If you will take my disinterested advice you will come to the front without a moment's delay, and I will promise that you shall have all the feathers to stick in your own cap. I am not 'out for credit for myself, but to catch the murderer." "Who is he, my Roake, humbler now. "You must come down and find that out for yourself if you are to lord?" pleaded He entered the shop and lit the lamp. get all the credit," was the answer, spoken with such sarcasm as "long distance" could impart to it. "I was just about to start, my lord, on the strength of the other informa- tion. Where shall I find your lord- ship?" "I am speaking from the inn, but I may have gone out when you get here. If so, I will leave word where I have gone. And seo here, Roake." "My lord?" "Pack your car with a few good chaps useful in a scrap. Revolvers and that sort: of thing. They may be wanted." The Inspector gurgled 'a further question into the transmitter, but epluttered a curse when he found that he had been cut off. He had half' a mind to put throligh a fresh call but, deciding against it, replaced the receiver on its. hook. The big car rushed through the night and in something under two hours pulled up at the Honeybun home. Leaving his subordinates out- side, Roake was shown into the smoking-room, where the Honeybuns, father and son, were fortifying them- selves with hot toddy. d Mr. James Honeybun, flushed and eager, rose at the Inspector's en- trance. 'By Jove, but you have been prompt!" he exclaimed. "Are you going to dig Lathrop out to-night?" "That is what I am here, for," Roake assented. "But I thought it only fair to you to look in for a per- sonal corroboration of your letter. | | Lettera-can be f i know, and Te orged, you know, and | this instance. Sub |.

N Mr. Samuel Honeybun cleared his shook a little, su, "Mr. Inspector ng indign against Bir Guy Lathrop. confess that it was I who suggested trying to embroil us. man named Wilmot, who has latter] been in my son's employ as a chauf- feur." 3 "What grounds have you for that belief, Mr. Honeybun?" demanded Roake in his most official manner. "Have you any reason to suspect that Wilmot has a guilty knowledge of Sir Francis Lathrop's murder?" The old gentleman appeared to be distressed by the question or by the manner of the questioner. Raoke had been such a cordial partisan, and somehow Mr. Honeybun eensed a dis- cordant note in the cordiality. / "No, no, Inspector," he laughed uneasily. If I had had any reason for suspecting Wilmot of guilty knowledge I should have imparted it to you. It has only just come to my memory that my son fixed it up with Wilmot to--er--watch Lord Bul- peter, of whose good faith we were beginning to be a little doubtful ow- ing to his association with a person whom we mistrust. It is possible that Wilmot may have trod too close on Bulpeter's heels and in turn have been cornered by his lordship. To pacify Bulpeter he may have fabri- cated some sort of a pretended con- fession. That would be ahout Wil- mot's form, wouldn't' it, James?" Both the Inspector and the elder Honeybun turned to Mr. James for confirmation of this ingenious. ex- planation. But they turned in vain. The chair in which Mr. James had been sitting was vacant. While Mr, Samuel 'Honeybun was elaborating his answer to the Inspector's very-of- fleial questions, Mr. James Honeybun had stolen silently from the room. "Thank you, sir," sald Roake dryly. "Your son seems to have tired of the subject. Ah, welll I won't trouble you further at present. I bid you .| good night, Mx, Honeybun.", The police car broke all records on the short ¥un'to thd iin, where, since closing time was long past the land- lord stood in the doorway awaiting it. "Lord Bulpeter has gone outy" he announced, "but his lordship request- ed me to say that he would be found at the Rectory. He hoped that you would follow him quickly. Things are moving, I was to say." The rage of Monkey-Face after the letter was snatched from him by an invisible hand took a long time to evaporate. He entered the shelter and lit the lamp which he had put out on his departure to go to the phHiar-box. Adela was reclining, still in the same awkward attitude, against the wooden post to which she was so cruelly bound. Her eyes ranged over: the hideous countenance of her jailer and there was an impudent gleam in them as she noted the signs that all had not gone according to plan. "Posted the letter?" she inquired as casually as if she. was questioning a maidservant whom she had dis- patched on the errand. umph had not been lost on the mis shapen monster. The little vixen, he told himself, thought that somehow she had dished him over that letter. that her cleverness had missed its mark. (To be continued.)

In our opinion, however, it is morg than dangerous to close a _ schoolroom where a child suffering fronf a com- municable disease has been found, fumigate the premises and re-admit the children without medical or nurse inspection. : Funilgating makes parents falsely believe that all germs have béen killed and their children are safe, 'T'e permit children after being e to com- municable disease to go back to school without inspection is to turn an out- break into an epidemic.
