Police find a woman's haid- kerchief and the yellow stub of a the- stre ticket. Jimmy Rand, his son, goes to Buffalo '/here the theatre is. stub is traced to Thomas Fogarty, who says he gave it to Olga Maynard, a cabaret singer. Olga tells the police they were taken from her by a man she does not know, two nights before the murder.

One evening he is attacked on the street. He wrests a blackjack from one of This assailants, He tells Police Lieutenant O'Day that it was a blackjack or something sim- ilar that caused his father's death. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XII "Sure. Who knows?" agreed O'Day. "But," he added hastily, "you're jump- ing at conclusions, Rand. Agreed that it was a blackjack or sandbag that was used on your father, you're a lit tle hasty in trying to put the two togethe.." O'Day rose. "I'll be running along, lad. I'm detailing a man to keep close watch on this horse from now on. And take care of yourself. Don't be taking 'any unnecessary chances." The door closed behind his mas ive figure. Jimmy sat for a long time after 0'Day's departure, his knees hunched up before him on the bed, » frown wriniling his forehead. Then he jumped up, took some writing paper from a drawer and wrote a letter to Barry Colvin. He wrote page after page, de- geribing in full the cvents of that ex- eiting evening. "And not a word to the family, Barry," he wrote. "You know what they'd say if they found out. You might, .owever, say some- thing to Detective Mooney if you get the chance. Ie was ne who said we were fools to believe Olga Maynard's story. This might give him a new slant." » Ll . * The long, low sport-model roadster belonging to Mr. Samuel Church came silently to a stop in front of the mod- est looking apartment building and Mr. Church stepped o .t. In the vesti- bule of the apartment he rang the bell opposite the name Lowe Mrs, Lowell's welcome was radiant, "Good evening, Mr. Church." She stepped to one side as he came in the coor, "let me take your hat, and your coat--Mary has no: finished dressing yet and y» won't want to sit indoors with your overcoat sn. One takes cold so easily as it is. I told Mary to hurry. I hope she won't make you late for the concert." "Thank you. We have plenty of time." His m r was easy, and assured as he handed her Lis hat and removed his loose-fitting black coat. He stood immac e in his dinner clothes, his wavy; gray-tinged black hair sleek with pomade. He drew ilver bound leather eigar case f his pocket as Mrs. Lowell returnec ym hanging up his coat and hat. "Mind if I smoke?" he smiled. "Of course Mr. Church.

"Wé try to like it, but it is rather trying, this apartment life, after so many years im a big home. Oh well; things of eourse have been different since Mr. Yowell died. It almost breaks my Reart to see Mary work, but she seems fo like it. I'm afraid I'll never-get used to it." There was. a Suspicion of tears in her voice. Chaich smiled.

"And now, Mrs. Lowell, I'm taking the liberty of saying something that has been on my mind for some time. It is about Mary." "Yes?" Mrs. Lowell was all eager attention. "I love her. 1 want to marry Her. May I He waved away her inter- ruption. « "I ean offer her and you, too--a wonderful home. While I am not exactly a millioaaire, still most people would call me wealthy." "Yes, of course, breathed Mrs. Lowell, "very wealthy." "And," he vient on smoothly, "I tLink\}, ah hold a certain position in the community that cannotbe bought with money." He was on his feet, gesturing grace- fully with his arms to add emphasis to his words. "Mrs. Lowell, all Mary has to do is say the word." "Have you said anything to Mary?" Mrs. Lowell's voice fluttered. "That is another thing I am old- fashioned about, Mrs. Lowell." He bowed slightly. "I am speaking first to you. I have dropped an occasional hint, which is only natural for a man in love. I had gathered that she was somewhat interested in a young man named--Ilet me see--Rand." "Oh that?" She smiled deprecat- ingly. "I did my best to discourage that. They met in a rather romantic way and he was here a few times, but that was all. She rever mentions his name any more" "These wise mothers!" he exclaimed softly.' "It must have been--let us call it intuition--that led you to dis- courage that. I haven't had thé op- portunity to observe the young man very much, but the first time I saw him he was standing on the street with a notorious woman in his arms. Right in front of the Mayfzir Hotel, with dozens of people passing." "Brazen!" Mrs. Lowell exclaimed. "Oh, both of them must have been Giunk. There's no other way of ac- counting for it. Mary. saw it, too. Per- haps that's why she hasn't mentioned his name since." "Mary hasn't been quite herself lately," she admitted. "I wonder if she's been thinking about that--that Rand." "A little talk with her," gested, "mjght--" "She shall have it." "Without, of course, bringing me into it. Things might be misunder- stood, you know, and I have a certain delicacy about suggesting--" "I understand perfectly, Mr. Church. I think it quite noble of you to let me know." "It was quite distasteful, I assure you, Mrs. Lowell." "I know, I know But there's Mary calling. Some last minute help with her dress, I suppose. Excuse me." Alone, Church smiled a self-satisfied smile. With his left hand he carefully flicked his cigar ashes into a nearby receiver. With his right he smoothed down his flawlessly combed hair. He walked over to the wall mirror and adjusted his black bow tie. Then he sat down and waited. Mrs. Lowell, in Mary's room, said as she helped her daughter into her coat. "Mr/ Church asked my permis- sion tonight to propose to you." "Mother!" Mrs. Lowell went on, unheeding. "That's such a rare and admirable trait to find in a man today. Not very many "of them think of us mothers." "Motler, don't talk like that. Did he say--" > "He" has wealth," Mrs. Lowell in- terrupted, "refinement, position-- everything a girl could ask. Not many, girls get such. a chance. If he says anything to you tonight I want you to think of what it means to me--to both of us. No more of this--this awful poverty. I dont think I could stand to go on with it." ' She dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief and left the room, and Mary, strangely white faced, stood staring out of the window for some time before she followed. . . . . On the drive downtown and during the concert Church was attentiveness itself to Mary. He made no allusion to his conversation with her mother, but on the way home he quite casually brought up the topic.

Jimmy slowly read it through-- several pages that had taken him hours to write. He read it again. Then he pushed his chair back from the table and slowly crumpled the letter in his hand. Rising, he to.e it into .iny frag- ments and threw them in the waste basket. (To be continued.)

Besides training her "color sense," it gives the child an opportunity of see- ing the work grow beautiful under her fingers; and so a real love of sewing 1s unconsciously born. Darning sounds a dreadfully dull af- fair, but even that can be taught in- terestingly to a child. Her. again we must have color to make it interesting. Canvas or coarse huckaback is used for the fourdation, and the child is taught the intricate threading of a perfect darn, though, stimulating influence df color and the soft texture of the silk, it ceases to be "just a darn." The moral seems to be: if we want the cfildren to love sewing, make the lessons interesting.--Answers. <> Two in One It was Paddy's first trip in an aero- plane, and when he reached the ground again he turned a very pals face to the pilot.

The first was the discovery of my theory that if a man's worn-out glands were replaced by new ones he would be rejuvenated.

Windows presum- ably are put in houses to let in light. Then the owners of these windows proceed, the illuminating engineers were told, to keep out a half or more of this light which they want to let in; as though a dairyman deliberately poured out on the ground half of the milk from each cow. Professor H. H. Higbie of the University of Michigan pointed out at Richmsend that the light which an open window would admit may be cut down from one-fourth to one-third by dirt which accumuls'-s on the glass between cleanings. A. J. Martin, of the Detroit Steel Products Company, reported tests showing the large percentages of light cut off by curtains, valances, shades and other impediments with which home win- Squs usually are equipped. The al- st universal habit of drawing down | a roller shade to the mid-point of the window frome may result, Mr, Martin - reported, in the loss of 60 per cent, of the daylight which otherwise would enter, Fly screens covering the whole of a window may reduce the total light by 50 per cent. It is better to use screens on the lower halves of windows only, this being the part which ucually is opened, and also the part which admits the least sky light and which can best be spared. 3 pr tml Washing Chiffon : Many women are afraid to use chif- fon for wearing apparel as they are often disappointed after washing it.
