She calculated to get rid of the fam- ily, inherit the Greene millions and de set her cap for Von Blon. There was vi ly a inclined to think the amatory phase of the affair was the primary actuat- ing force in the series of horrors she later perpetrated. "It gave her strer.gth and courage; it lifted her into that ecstatic realm where anything d ible, and all her ideas from Gross' handbook is writ- ong to : Sow aid you eow did not break forth long before.

"Let us take things in order, ser- geant," answered Vance. "Julia was killed first because she was the man- ager of the establishment. With her out of the way, Ada would have a free hand. And, another thing, the|s galleon death of Julia at the start fitted best into the scheme she had outlined; it gave her the mest plausible setting for staging the attempted riurder on herself. "Ada had undoubtedly heard some where she was willing to pay any price for the desired end. And there is one point I might recall parenthe- tically--you remember that Barton, the younger maid, toid us how Ada sometimes acted like a devil and used vile language. That fact should have given me a hint; but who could have taken Barton seriously at that stage of the game? "To trace the origin of ler dia- the locked library.

"There she ran :cross those books on criminology. They appealed to her, not only as a vicious outlet for her smouldering, repressed hatred, but because they struck a responsive chard in her tainted nature. Eventu- ally she came upon Gross' great man- ual and thus found the entire technic of crime laid out before her, with diagrams and examples--not a hand. book for examining magistrates, but a guide for a potential murderer! Slowly the idea of her gory ogre took "At first perhaps she only imagin- ed, as a means of self-gratification, the application of this technic of a time, no doubt, the conception be- came real. She saw its practical pos- sibilities; and the terrible plot was formulated. She created this horror, and then, with her diseased imagin- ation, she came to believe in it." Her Hausible stories to us, her superb acting, her clever deceptions -- all were part of this horrible fantasy she had ered. That book Grimm's "Fairy-Tales!"--I shouid have understood. Y"see, it wasn't his- trionism altogether on her part; it was a kind of demoniac possession. She lived her dream. Many young girls are like that under the stress of "The prettiest rag rugs I ever saw" "1 feel I should share with you a wonderful compliment I had.on my new rag rugs," writes an appreciative Three Rivers woman. "A wealthy lady from the City of Quebec was visiting here and saw the rag rugs I had just finished.

She was admitted and doubtless sal] on the edge of Julius bed telling some story to explain her late visit. Then she drev. the gun from under her dressing gown and shot Julia through (To be Continued.) in ci Cutting Marrow to Make Short Leg Grow Faster Drilling holes in children's legs which are too short because of infan- tile paralysis hastens their growth. Through the holes the central core of blood vessels and bone marrow is cut in two--a new surgical procedure described to the American medical Association by Dr, Albert B. Fergu- son of the New York Orthopedic Hos- | pital. Says Dr. E. E, Free in his Week's Science (New York): "Long bones, such as those of the human leg have two different blood supplies, one through the bone mar-| row and the other through the living membrane that covers the outside of the bone. Dr. Ferguson had noticed that in accidental fractures or other cases in which the blood supply the bone frequently lengthened faster than it would have done otherwise, . "Working on this clue, sixteen child- ren with one leg shorter than the other have been treatéd by an opera tion in which two holes are drilled in- to each of the leg bones about one- third of the way from each end,-a knifelike tool is inserted through this row are cit through and interrupted. The holes in the ones do no harm, and the blood supply through the mem- brane outside the bone is not dis- turbed. "Dr. Ferguson reports that every bone so treated has been growing faster than the corresponding bone of the other leg by about an eighth of an inch a year, which indicates that the operation may provide a general way of giving such short-legged children two legs of nearly the same length."
