She hears padding footsteps. Rushing into her father's study she finds him dead. The mulatto swung out of the bedroom and Foster turned his at- tention to the girl. As he felt her pulse and was about to give direc- tions to Mrs, Gibbs to fetch some restoratives, the voice of One-eye came up the stairway. "Fetch de dawg from de kennel, yo' lazy scut! Git round de house wit' him and meet me at de back." Foster. turned to his patient, She had evidently --undergone a terribie shock to her nerves, but as she was on the borders of hysteria, he did not wish her to talk, It was he who - did the talking. "Mrs Gibbs, just a little whisky, and then some tea, and a biscuit or two--anything you have at hand. Run down and fetch the things yourself. Never mind being in your dresing gown, And don't be long. I may need you here." He felt the pulse of the girl leap- ing at a tremendous rate, but when Mrs. Gibbs was gone he kept on talk- ing, mostly saying things he did no! quite follow himself, for he was try- ing to get the hang of everything at once; events had confused him and -- required sorting out. In a few min- utes Mrs. Gibbs was back with' tea and a tray and Foster put a drop of liquor into the cup as he handed it "to Miss Barron. "Come, drink this," he said gent- Jy. "It will pull you together and case your headache. I am here beside you, so don't worry any more. Noth- ing can harm you." But it was some time before the wild stare left her eyes and the re- action came in a fit of weeping. They Jet her weep until she conquered that weakness--if it was a weakness -- and made an effort to be calm. Foster drew a chair to the side of the bed. "Are you able to talk mow?" he asked gently. "I do not want you to tax ycurself--" i "Yes, I can talk," she answered, clasping her hands over the cover- Jet. "I must talk. I must tell you." A shiver passed over her, but she drew herself up. © "I saw it there--at my open win- dow. I had lain down to rest. I was not sleeping. I was thinking of my father. And then it came--" She shuddered again and Foster's hand clozed over her wrist assuring- ly. d "I know what you saw," he in- terrupted. The handle of the door turned and the voice of the mulatto detective came from the corridor. "May I come in, doc?" "Yes, come in, One-eye."' 11é entered, stood looking round the recom and his gaze settled on the companion. I "Maybe yore patient could do wit' us alone, doc?' . fre, Ah WITHIN ARM'S LENGTH Myrs, Gibbs {ook the tray and left the room. One-eye moved noiselessly across the floor and stood at the win- dow, his shoulders and bullet head silhouetted against the sky that was now clearing before the coming dawn. Prezently he turned and sat on a chair, taking his pen-knife from his pocket and holding it as if he were about to cut a notch on his fiddlewood club; but he seemed to change his mind. He snapped his knife shut and raised his head. "Guess Miss Barron kin tell us <> > * aaa a a Jd somethin'," he said. Foster nodded and the girl took up her story. It was short enough. She had been disturbed by the coming of a light at her window. Facing her was the terrible face andthe beckon- ing finger. The face was, now' with- in arm's length of the sill. It seem- ed to hang in mid air, but the eyes were fixed on her menacingly, with a frightful, unearthly glare that caused her to scream, That was all she knew, She must have lost con- sciousness for a little. The next thing she remembered was the presence of Mrs. Gibbs and the coming of the two men. Foster turned to One-eye as she finished. . "Did you find anything when you searched round the house just now? I heard you ordering the dog to be taken from his kennel." One-eye shook his head. "Didn't the dog get wind of any- thing? Didn't he seem restless? Wasn't there a sign of a prowler at all?" Once more One-eye shook his head. "Guess Miss Barron can tell us jest why her fadder believed in de green ghost. Let's have it, missy, ef yo' doan mind." "It is a dismal affair,' she said brokenly. "I know you and father talked about it, One-cye, because he went to the police some time ago. He mentioned your name once to me, but he became very silent lately on the subject and I had thought he had recovered from his hallucination, as I called it." co "His hallucination?" echoed Fost- er, "That is what I called it--then. It was about a year ago when we were over here on a trip that father had a bitter quarrel with a distant re- lation. I never knew why enmity ex- isted between them. I never asked, but I knew that the dislike, nay the hatred, was deep and lasting between them. And then one day, after hav- ing spent a short time in the interior of this island, my father returned to this house. He was gloomy and de- pressed, and I saw that something was causing him anxiety. I thought it was his business affairs, but grad- ually I was convinced that it was something else. I pressed him several times to confide in me, offering to help in any way, but he always put me off, which was not like him, He was wearing himself down, his nerves were becoming frayed. He be- came irritable and morose. One night 1 heard a cry from his room. I went up at once and found him in a state of high nervousness and fear. When he was calmed down he told me that he had scen the ghost of the man I have mentioned--the man with whom 'he was at enmity." (To Be Continued.)

LJ LJ * Can a girl love two men at once? That is the interesting poser that is put to me in a letter ju:t to band, I am giving you part of this young lady's letter to me, as I have no doubt that there are other readers of this column, which appears in pap ers throughout the Dominion, who are in a similar predicament, "Some time ago, about two years ago, to be exact, I met a young man while fn Toronto for a 'holiday, and fell in love with him, I have seen him at different times since, and feel quite sure that my feeling for him is sincere and deep. About six months ago, we had a little tiff, not very im- portant perhaps, but whilst we were in the middle of it, I met a young man nearer home, and have since seen quite a lot of him, There is no doubt that we have learned to care a good deal for each other, I intended, in the early stages, to break it off with No. 2 young man 'when my first friend and I became reconciled, but I failed to do so, and now I have both young men caring a good deal for me, and the first young man doesn't know anything about the other one, and vice versa, I realized that I haven't entirely played the game with either of these young men, particularly the first one, but what do you think I should do now? Do you-think I would be bet- ter to carry on with 'No, 1 and let the other go? They both are very anxious to marry me, and it appears that 1 will be_ forced to make a de- cision one way or the other before very long, Your advice would be eag- erly received'. I quite agree with you that you "haven't played the game" with these young men, but I can readily apprec- iate the reasons for your drifting into this impasse, However, I have exam- ined the different writings, and will deal with your own first of all, You are of a type that is very Your Handwriting : Reveals Your = WE | Character!

My own persona! feeling about you is that you don't love either of these young men, It seems to me that you would soon realise it if you were in love with one of them, No.l young man is affectionate, loyal, straightforward, rather digni- fied and not the tye to 'wear his heart on his sleeve'. The second young man is more expressive of his feelings, more spontaneous, He ig also straightforward, as is the first one, There isn't a great dea! to choose between either of them. There is some difference in temperaments, but you could, I believe, get along quite well with both of them. : The No. 2 youth has this advantage --he is living nearer to you and can see more of you than fs possible for the first young man,.And, all thngs being equal, there can be no doubt that propinquity adds to the possi- bilities for mutual assoclation,. and for falling in love, gh However, I cannot advise you to marry either of these young men, You are not in love really earnestly with either of them, It seems to me that you should take the first opportunity of breaking off your association with No. 1 young man, and trust to the future to decide whether you really love the other friend sufficiently to marry him, LJ] * * Have YOU any problem that Mr, St. Clair can help you with?

The Duchess of Kent. like the Duke, has extremely good taste, and she has been careful to see that her new curtains, chair covers and wall decorations were such as would make the ideal background for the lovely furniture which is one of the beau- ties of the house, GOOD COTRABTS™ ~~ An ivory satin has been selected for the Duchess's bedroom, and there is an interesting difference between the curtains and chair coverings, for while the former have a thin diagon- al self-stripe, the latter are scatter- ed with stars similarly woven in the material so that the effect carries out that suggestion of a Regency atmos- phicre which somehow pervades the whole house. - Rough-cast materials are used both in the Duke's study and in his bed: room, The Duke Is obviously fond of dark blue, for in the former room the curtaing are white with an edging ot navy blue braid, while the chairs are entirely covered in navy blue, the Island Publicity Bureau wants to know how to capitalize on the tourist attraction, The falls are al- ficult country, most inaccessible, involving a boat : trip and a 13-mile trek through difs LOVELY LINEN.

Winnipeg Goldeye We hasten to join with our con- temporary, the Winnipeg Tribune, in viewing with alarm the threatened disappearance of that unique and suc- culent fish, the Winnipeg goldeye. Rightly, the goldeye is. the pride of the prairie, -- perhaps even "Mani- toba's only distinctive contribution to the world's gustatory delight." Many are its merits. To begin with, it is smoked and therefore can be car- ried far, bringing joy to Montreal and New York no less than.to Bran- don, Then it is a "secretive" fish and. does not too-loudly anounce its pres- ence in the kitchen while being cook- ed. This is a trick it might well teach the kipper. Its appearance, on the first meeting, is perhaps startling --|. its bright rose-gold.. suggesting an origin in the aquarium or in the oriental print room of the museum. But once understood, this .brilliance only lends enchantment. It is accom- modating in the matter "of bone structure, a virtue which we wish the delicate shad would imitate. And, last, but first in importance, its mild flavour is superb, The Tribune's figures tell the sad Em + 4. ' The catch of goldeye in Manitoba waters in 1926 was 1,162,000 pounds. In 1929 it was 1,110,600 pounds. I 1930 it was 574,000 'pounds. In 1933 it was 280,000 pounds, and in 1934 it was 825,000 pounds. Montreal Star.

But, ac- cording to Major W. G. Tucker, sec- retary of the Royal Blackheath Golf Club in England, which claims to be the oldest existing golf club with a continuous history, the exact origin of golf is lost in the mists of an- tiquity. . "Literary researches into the sub- ject," he writes in the current Ro- tarian Magazine, "have led to the conclusion that 'the name golf was probably derived from the Teutonic kolbe, a club (kolf in low Dutch is a game). By a Scotch Act of Parlia- ment in 1424, prohibiting. games that interfered with archery and other military sports, football is prohibited, and no mention is made® of golf. By another Act of Parliament in 1457, football and golf are prohibited, so that it seems likely the game was in- troduced between those dates or pei- haps became popular after football But items in: the accounts of the "In 1491, King James IV of Scot- land decreed: 'Futeball and Golfe forbidden. Item, it is statut agd or- dainit that in na place of the realme there be usit fute-ball, golfe, or uther sik unprofitabills portis." , . , . But items in the accounts of the lord high treasurer (1503-6) show that King James, himself, yielded tot he lure of this 'unprofitabill sportis" The Edinburgh council, in 1629, proclaimed "threw this burgh' that 'na inhabitants of the samyn be seen at ony pastymes within or without. that toun, 'upon the Sab- both day, sic as golfe, ete.' A year later the proclamation was repeated but the prohibition was modified to read 'in tyme of sermons. "Be this as it may," he continues, "local tradition maintains that King James I of .England and VI of Scot- land disported himself at golf on Blackneath when he held court at Greenwich, subsequently sanctioning the formation of a Society of Golfers in 1608." Old Scotch records reveal that other kings were among the early devotees of the game in Scotland and England. And so the reason is aparent why golf often is referred to as a "royal sport." Think Out New Daily Problems Chapel Hill, N.C.--New graduates of the University of North Carolina left the campus with the advice of Mrs. Franklin D, Roosevelt to "think out new ways of doing things," "These are difficult times," Mrs. Roosevelt said. "We are more pros- perous and hopeful than a few years ago, But we who look at realities-- and you graduates must look at real- ities--we cannot say we are satisfied with our country or things ag they n exist today." She said that while "we would like to gee everyone with a nimum in- come," the question of the hour is "how to start," Appealing for courage, initiative and imagination 'to try, in this strongest of nations "to solve its problems, she declared: "We in this nation do not produce enough today to give every individual an income sufficient for a decent standard of living. We must think out new ways of doing things.

The catch of goldeye in Manitoba waters in 1926 was 1,162,000 ounds, In 1929 it was 1,110,500 pounds, In 1930 it was 574- 000 pounds. In 1933 it was 280,000 pounds, and in 1934 it was 325,000 pounds, The price has been rising steadily, and the fishermen have re- doubled their efforts, naturally, to catch a fish worth up to 38 cents a pound.

It was only then that I realized that the fault lay with myself, and not with five year old Sonny, I had - taught him to speak quietly, and then usually amused himself for hours at a time with very little attention, I had somehow fallen into the habit of allowing my own thoughts to'engross me, to the exclusion of all else, and thus did not bother to answer the litte chap when he did speak to me.
