Police find a woman': hand- kerchief and a yellow ticket stub from a theatre in Buffalo. ~ Jimmy Rand, Henry's son, goes to Buffalo. The ticket stub is traced to Thomas Fogarty, wh) says ga i to Olga Maynard, a cabaret singer. Jimmy meets and#falls in love with Mary Lowell. Later he encounters Olga Maynard, and she faints when told she is suspected of murder. Mary sees Olga in Jimmy's arms and breaks with him. Police arrest Olga, who tells them the ticket stub and handkerchief must have been taken from her jy a man whom she has been out with, but whom she doesn't know.. Jimmy finls a note in his room and later receives a tele- phone message, telling him to leave ufTalo. NOW GO ON V/ITH THE STORY CHAPTEEL XV. The anonymous note, followed by the mysterious telephone call; left Jimmy Rand bewild~. ed. He got I'ttle sleep on the train ride to Grafton. Hz was not sure whether it was a practical joke or whether the note was from someone who really :ad an ob- ject in getting him out of town. Ile tossed about, recalling in se- quence the swiftly moving events that had transpired since he came to Buf- falo, and trying vainly to nuravel the plot that seemed to be weaving about him. Perhaps his father's actual mur- derer, or someone who was involved in the crime, had learned he was in Buffalo and feured detection if he remained. That sort of melodrama would never run him off, he told kimself. His mind refused to work as he wanted it to. Invari bly his thoughts would come back to Mary Lowell. It hurt him that she srould cut him coldly without giving him en oppor- 'unity to explain the positi a she had found him in with Olga Maynard. Why should people--especially Mary Lowell--be so ready to believe the worst of him? Ilis jaw set grimly. Jack in Grafton, he went straight home to his mothers "house. Her old sharp air and scolding manner were gone. In their pla:e was an attitude of resigned dejoction. He knew:with- out being told that she brooded(inces- santly over Henry Rand's death, "Are you back home to if stay, James?" she asked while his arms were still abo t her. "No, mother, Just for a day. I've got to see Barry." Briefly he told her why. and she wept silently. "Where's Janet?" he asked. She had gone to do the marketing, Martha Rand told him. Just then he saw Janet coming along the old fa- miiliar boardwalk, her arms full of bundles. She greeted Lim with a long kiss and clung to him, but shes seemed cheerful and eomposed, "Fine, Sis. I've come home to ar- range with the district attorney for the release of a woman who may lead us to the murderer. Sounds myster- ious, doesn't it? And it is, too. It's got me all up in the air." He told her of the progress they had made in Buffalo. It seemed she had a job playing the piano in a moving picture theatre. Martha Rand sighed audibly as Janet |. told him.

Besides, I'll be back home before very long. What does Barry think of it--or don't you see Barry any more?" Yes, she saw Barry frequently. He didn't like her working one bit. Told her she was-a fool. "That's the second time he's called doesn't approve," Janct "She doesn't like to " me a fool," she said. "The other, you know--" 5 "Yes, 1 know," he put in hurriedly. "He was right both times. Sis, there's no need for you to keep this job. Quit it." She would not, she told him. He didn't get her viewpoint. "With father dead, I'm sharing the respon- sibility equally with you. Do you think I intend to sit 'back and see you take it all?" "You've enough to get along with," he said stubborrly. "There's no need for you to work." "Enough to get along on, yes, Jim- my. But I'm not satisfied that way. I'm looking a¥Mead. I've been coddled in this family all my life. Father never said so, but my music lessons represented quite a sacrifice, Now they're going to pay dividends." She smiled. "I'm a producer from row oh, Jimmy." | The doorbell rang. It was Barry Colvin. "I got your telegrany Jim." "Yes, Barry, Pm going-to need you. You know the district attorney here, don't yon?" os "Jack Galbraith? An old friend of mine." "Well, come on, then. We're going down to see him. Be back later, Mother," he called. * * » * District Attorney Gilbreath was affability itself when Barry Colvin in troduced Jimmy as his best friend, but a frown creased his brow when Barry explained what Jimmy wanted. "Impossible, Barry," he said. "De- tective Mooney was in to see me last evening. From what he told me, this woman O!ga Maynard, if she isn't actually the murderer, is certainly mixed, up in it in some way. The oniy way we'll ever run on to her partner is to keep her until she wears out and tells on him. They all do sooner or later. "I'm about yeady to go to the grand jury nov: and ask for an indictment," he added. "We want her here in Grafton." ed Jimmy. He told Olga Maynard's story of the red-headed man who had taken her to the cafe. "He's the man that registered at the Canfield Hotel --1'11 bet my life on it." "Maybe that's all very true, Rand, but how do you know she isn't holding back his name? Ske might be afraid to tell on nim." "She's telling the truth--I know it," Jimmy persisted. "Just grant for the sake of argument, that her story is #rue, How would we ever run onto this fellow? If she's turned loose she prob. ably will find him in time, Chances are he's still in Duffalo, cheerfully ignorant of the fact that we're looking for him." The district attorney picked up a glass paperweight and toyed with it thoughtfully. "Rand," he said, "we've got to make an arrest in this case-- aside from the fact that it has to b> cleaned up. I'm speaking from a self- ish point of view. The town is worked and to me to clear it up. "Suppose, now, that we let this Maynard woman loose and she cleared out. Why, I'd look like the biggest sucker in the world. I've got to think of next November, you know. That's election time." "On the other hand," Bary put in, "if she turns up this man, the case will be cleared up and you could run for governor. Remember this, Jack. All you've got on the woman is circum- stantial evidence. Nobody's going to convict her." 4 "If I were sure that she wouldn't skip out," Gilbreath answered slowly, "1d do it." "I'll be personally responsible for her, Mr. Gilbreath," said Jimmy. "Remember, my interest in this thing is even stronger than yours. That's why I'm staying in Buffalo. I'll see Ba a BR WK away if she tried." Gilbreath smiled at Jimmy's earn- i Janet met Barry and Jimmy at the "But you don't know it all," protest-[ up over it, and they look to the police|" in it are larger than the state's, I sup- pose.

No, Sis, nothing important." He led Barry into the living room, leaving Janet where she stood. She looked at him curiously, then turned away. He threw the telegram toward Barry. "Funny," he remarked, and sat down. "Y don't get it, Jim: Barry was puzzled. He read it again: "Stay where you are." it was unsigned. "1 don't get t myself, Barry. Lis- ten." With hands clasped on his knee and a puzzled frown wrinkling his forehead, he made Barry eyewitness to that last night in his room in Buf- falo---the finding of the anonymous note and the phone call that followed. Barry sat in thoughtful silence. Then--*"It has something to do with the murder, Jim. You're in somebody's way and they won't h2:irate to remove you if you don't get out. I'ia begin- ning to think that's the answer to your father's murder--he, too, was in some- one's way. "Jim, just how much of your dad'z past life did you know? Were there any eneries?

Winnipeg Animals Prefer Classical Music Female of the Species Shows More Appreciation than the Male The following is an Interesting article on animals' reactions to the strains of music and jazz, taken from the Reader's Digest: On one of his Antarctic expeditions Shackleton took a phonograph along. The instrument, set going out in the snow, attracted a flock of penguins. The birds listened, interested, appar- ently pleased." Then the record was changed to "Waltz Me Around Again, Willie. For a moment, a moment only, the birds waited; then, as with one mind, they turned, squawking dis- gustedly, and went off. Their an- cient dignity had been profaned. The explorer Scott tells that penguins would always "come up at 'a trot" when the men were singing, and, he adds, several of his men could fre- quently be found on the poop of the ship _singing before an "adifiring group of Adelie penguins." In many animals music stirs a deep emotional response, whether of pain or of pleasure, it i: hard to say. Some dogs point their noses toward the stars and wail at the sound of a piano or of a violin, Caged jackals and wolves show a like instinct. The ancients are said to have drawn crabs out from under the mud and stones by music, and swarming bees were coax- ed backj/to their hives by the clash- ing of cymbals or the pounding of Seals have followed ships for many miles when there has been music aboard.

Sheep and goats have come running for an opera air played on a flute, Home of the tales one dismisses easily as the offspring of fertile ima¥ ginations. Others may arise from man's willingness to think of his own music as having rare charm. In a compilation to prove the power of music, written something over a cen- tury ago, several such aries appear, One morning very early a tailor is going home after a night spent in fid- dling at a party. An angry bull at- tacks him. With sudden inspiration he begifls to fiddle. The bull stops, listens, is charmed. When the man stops, its rage returns. So till dawn the hapless man fiddles away to save hig skin, Again, a state prigoner in the Bastille is allowed to take a lute with him to his cell. While he plays, the mice come out to listen, and the spiders suspend themselves around the instrument. ! While Josef Hofflann was once playing in Chicago, a mouse an up a leg of the concert grand, and there on the top listened with every evid- ence of delight throughout a concerto. In Dayton, Ohio, during a recital by Harold Henry a rat posted himself behind one leg of the piano, listened attentively till the end of the num- ber, then scurried off into the wings. A series of experiments conducted with flute, violins, oboe, and mouth organ, in the London zoo indicated a real interest in music on the part of scorpions and spiders. One remem- bers that whenever Gretry played a spider would settle itself upon his harpsichord. The cheetah showed a preference for gay music; the rhino- cerl were annoyed and attempted to charge the the 1i came to the surface and listened, pleased by all but the jazz. 'The rep- tiles--crocodiles excepted--paid little attention to the music. It was there- of fore inferred that-the gift of the snake charmer is probably mot in his mpsic at all but rather-in the rhyth- mic swaying of his body to the music. A violinist once tried his skill be- fore the cages of Lineoln Park, The | time chosen wag nightfall, an hour which may have influenced the results markedly, § In general, the night creatures appeared to be much more sensitive to the music than were those of the day, and the males were less interested than the females. The male Bengal tiger, for instance, snarl- ed once at the mueician, then ignored him. The female pushed her nose and paws between the bars, seeking apparently to get as near-as possible, The coyotes came out of their holes at the first sound and ranged them- selves in a semicircle around the musician, When he put up his bow, they "pawed wt him through the bars," as if asking for more. When he played again, they once more squat- ted before him. Two Puma panthers disliked all jig music such as "The Irish Washerwoman," yet lay content, listening to such slow and sentiment- al numbers as "Home, Sweet Home" and "Annie Lauri" Most of the birds remained utterly oblivious to the music. The pelicans, however, according to the account in The American Naturalist, flapped - their wings and snapped their beaks at the musician, o All of these observations with the testimony of a onetime bandmaster of Barnum and Bailey. Elephants, several of the deer and of the cats, he had noticed,. were espec- ially responsive to music. There might be, he said, a great difference in this respect between the individu- als of a species. One leopard might seem hardly conscious of music; an- other would dance with joy at a given air, Lions, he asserted, sometimes showed definite liking or distaste for certain tunes. And elephants be- came so used to the march from Loh- engrin that they would be outraged it led into the circus arena to any accompaniment less stately, All train- ed animals, he added, are dependent on familiar music. A change in rhy- them or in melody might throw them off their cues and result in panic or in serious accident, A southern dairyman is said to have installed a player plano in his barns; another has introduced a phonograph to be played at milking time. Physiologically, it is supposed, music relaxes the udder of the cow gnd so allows an increased flow of milk, Such uses of music are of long standing... The old Greek shepherds piped to their sheep, thinking thus "to promote digestion"; and a writer in The Musical Quarterly instances the fact that the Boetians used a pas- toral flute on their equine stud-farms in the belief that this music stimu- lated procreation. accord Hidden Treasure Just before the big circus show started the lion-tamer and the dog- trainer were seated in the dressing: tent talking about their respective acts. & "By the way," Inquired the lon- tamer, "how's that new dog you bought last month coming along?" "That terrier, you mean?" replied the dog-trainer. "He's learning fast, and will make a good performer if I can get him accustomed to this jump- ing from town to town." "What d'you mean?" lion-tamer. "Why, the other day, when we were showing ip Birmingham, he buried a bone beside the centre pole, and he tried to dig it up in Oxford the next day," replied the dog-trainer. pray CR, queried the Autumn Who doesn't like the autumn, The golden time of year, Who doesn't like the autumn When the hoar frosts are here?

"Hottest Spot" Is Science Test Temperature Near 900,000 Degrees Believed to Have Been Induced The highest temperatu- e ever pro- duced on earth it is believed, has been roughly measured by R. Tankerg of the Westir.ghouse Electric and Manu- facturing Compary's research labor- wtories. It was Jounc on a small spot on the crater of théetallic electrodes between which an electric arc was maintained inside a special type of tacuum tube and is estimated at 900, 000 degrees. Previously the hottest spot even found on earth was that in the crater of an ordinary arc light, whith reach. ed about 10,000 degrees--almost as hot as the surface of the sun. Accur- ate measurement of the temperature produced in Mr. Tanberg's apparatus is impossible because the veat would vaporize any. mea.ving instrument. The temperature was calculated, con- sequently, by observation of the be- havior of surréunding 2ases. el es er Copenhagen Builds Modern Schools Copenhagen--There is a tendency in Copenhagen, as in other cities, to remove from the center of the city to the outskirts, and this year three new schools are to be opened when the term commences, It is six years since the last were completed. There is an average of 30 classrooms to each school, and from nine to 11 halls and special rooms for gymnastics, domes- tic science, natural science, drafting, craft work, sloyd and library work, as well as other rooms for administrative purposes, . At Skovshoved one oof the districts near Copenhagen, a new school to be built this year is without a staircase, but a gradually descending slope in a spiral form, which takes the place of the usual steps. The school is a two-storey building and the slope will be of reinforced concrete. pS erm ps------ The Flat Apartment Owner (a stout gentle- man)--"This, sir, is one of our finest kitchenette apartments," Prospective Tenant--"Well, come out a minute and let me inside!"

Re ttin on Die )_ Spd go Ea that {oh By Helen Gregg G-een ot Looking through a magarke the other day, 1 became Interested in a letter written by one of its readers. It was from a woman past fifty, the mother of several children. She was. discouraged and worn out, mentally and physically with her years of re: sponsibility and work, "We are all to blame for many of 'our troubles," the letter read, "We ask nothing in return for our & labors but the pleasure of our gear ones; it is a great mistake. "We teach them from pabyhood to take our services as a matter of course, and by the time we realize: what we have done. we are too tired and worn out to care} and it does not pay." - Fhig is enly part of the soul-reveal- ing letter, but in it there is food for thought and study, and a warning to: young mothers--a warning to begin with the just-around-the-corner-froms babyhood days to give the children small duties and small responsibil. ities, so that the burden which us- ually falls to the mother's lot may be lessened. When boys and girls discover how much actual labor there is connected with a house they real Mother. . So many mothers will continue take ing the entire responsibility. for run- ning a house smoothly and efficiently year in and year out. The only sign of protest they ever make is a weary little "I'm a bit tire¢" at night, with- out ever a heart-to-heart talk with the family asking for co-operation. The piping-hot breakfasts, the dain ty, wholesome lunches and JeMcious dinners, the cozy, caeery, neat home, are taken as a matter of coarse. Chil dren who have had no experience in doing household tasks do not realize the affort, time and hard work back of it all It all looks so easy, sO simple! And who is to make them realize and appreciate, if not the parents? It is not fair to the "dear ones" to al- low them to take all this for granted. "If we allow ourselves to be left behind, if we work so hard we are too tired to take part in the daily lives of our children and husbands," the letter continued, "they gimply learn to do without us." Isn't there a lot of truth tucked away in those . words? Shouldn't they make all mothers who have tiny children think? 1 remember a certain Thanksgiving that shames and grieves me. We did not have a maid, so Mother cooked and served a delicious Thanksgiving dinner for two guests, and our own family. After dinner the guests, my father and I hurried down town fog an afternoon's merry-making, leaving Mother who was not strong to clear oft the table and do the stacks of dishes. Mother was the one who de- served and should have had the hap- py afternoon. And, now that I have come to a realization of the many sacrifices she made and have learned how much help I could have been and would like nothing better than .to lighten her burdens, it is too late. That is what the writer of the let~ ter suggested: "And by the time they marry and have childrep. of their own, and learn from experience what life means, and what children mean in a mother's life perhaps it is too late; you may have passed on, and If not, it is stil} rather difficult 'to teach ol 08s new tricks'!" ds So the wives and mothers must remedy this. They should commence with the husbands at marriage, and with the children in their very early years. It is really very easy to teach the children to hang up their wraps, to run errands, to keep their rooms tidy, and to do the hundred and one other little things which inculcate in them the habit of service and the sense of responsibility. A mother, like a child, needs un- derstanding, love and play. She should share these and also her household cares with her family. This would make happier, |sweeter-tempered, younger, and more charming mothers the country over, and better and bap- / West 40th Street, New York City.
