BYNOPSIS Mauda Barron awakes with a pre monition of disaster. She hears padding footsteps, Rushing Into her father's stndy =he finds him dead. Dr. Sidney Foster, a friend, 1s joined by .Detective "One Eye" Utlock, a mulatto. who has never lost 8 man, "Mistah Barron had a bad attack ob nerves {'r some time. What wac de cause? He believed hisself de victim ob a ghost. De ghost was de ghest ¢b a man he had quarrelled wit' a long time ago--" "This sounds like Voudooism after all," cried the Coroner. "Maybe so, maybe not. Ah've searched de island fr trail ob dat man. Ah ain't come across it--yet, Mistah Barron tole his daughter de man was dead but hisn ghost was comin' to him. He had seen it. And last night Mistah Barron was up in hisn study wit' hisn camera. Lissen, folks. Dat picture was de one dat was printed on de plate ob de camera." ' The jury were hanging on-- every word. "Where is all this leading asked the Coroner quickly. "Ah doan know." ' The print still lay on the table, but was fast fading in the bright light that streamed into the roonj- "Doan worry about dat said One-eye. "De plate more prints. Lemme camera." He walked from the room, and they heard him clumping up the stairs to the study. During his abs sence the jury gazed at the fading print and at each other, but not a us?" print," can gib fetch dat word was spoken. In a few minutes hurried feet came down the stairs, and One-eye burst intq the room. His usually expressionless face was an- imated and his eye flashed. He held the camera in his hand and flung it on the table. "Mistah Coroner," he said grimly, speaking stiffly and with an effort to control himself. "Nobody is to leave dis house, or dis room." : They stared at him in surprise at his vehemence. "Lissen. Ah locked de door ob de study befo' Ah came heah. De plate was in_de camera. Ah put it dere myself, when Ah came back from de photographer. It ain't dere now." "What on earth do you mean?" cried the Coroner. 'Is the plate gone?" "It is gone, suh." "But where could it have gone?" "Dat's what Ah"m gwine to find out if Ah kin find it oot." One-eye stood thoughtful for a moment. The vehemence died out of his face, and the fire out of his eye. He shrugged his shoulders. "Guess yo' kin bring in a verdiit without de plate," he said. "But yo' can't bring in a verdict ob suicide. Not on ma evidence. Dat gun which- en was found on Mistah Barron's feet weren't hisn gun. It was de kind ob guns de generals sport in the Black Republic of Haiti. Mistah Barron's gun was in a drawer in hisn study, all loaded up and ready." He motioned to Dr. Foster to fol- low him, and walked slowly from the apartment, taking the print - with him. As soon as the door was closed behind them the mulatto gripped Foster by the shoulder and whisper- ed rapidly into his ~ar. "Yo' take de back door. Doan let a pusson pass out without - callin' me. Understand. Stand by de back -door. Yo' on duty now, doc." The jury filed out. The inquest was over, They went quietly, with- out much talk; and then the big front door closed and all was silent. A moment later someone came along the passage towards where he was stationed. It was the black but- ler. He was bearing something on a tray and when he saw Foster he stopped suddenly and fear spread over his dark skin. "I done go out to de dawg, suh, | take hisn dinner--" "You can't pass here, Tell the de- tective and get his permission." "What, by de Lawd, kin Ah not take de dawg's dinner out when de dawg is waitin', suh?" At that moment the big Alsatian emerged from his kennel and caught sight of Foster and the negro. He roared his recognition and reared on his hind legs. "De dawfi's dinner, suh!" "Tell the detective. If you can go out he will give the necessary per- mission." Another footstep sounded in the passage. William Hughes appeared, bearing in hand a heavy dog-whip. He pushed past the negro and was in front of Foster when the latter halted him, "Excuse me, Mr, Hughes, but I have orders not to let anyone pass." Hughes drew himself up abruptly, his eyes aflame, "And whe the devil are you?" he demanded, "My name is - Foster. have heard--" "Oh, Foster? Foster? I know. You are the ship's surgeon, Yes, I've heard of you. Well, now that I have heard and seen you I'm not any further interested--" He made a step forward, Foster put out his hand. "I'm sorrv, but I have orders. I'l 'explain if you will listen--" "Explain "be damned! Orders, in- deed? What the deuce are your orders 10 me? To hell with you and Qaers. Take down your hand, You may but "I'm sorry," said Foster, "but I can't let you pass. The detective gave me definite instructions." "The detective?" "QOne-eye, the mulatto officer." "Qh, that nigger! That interfering ass! And you, a white man, take orders from a blackamoor? By God, that's the limit," A tawny hand was pushed between the two men and fell on the lapel of Hughes's coat; gently, but firmly. "Guess yo' ain't gwine out dere, mistah, jest yet." (To Be Continued.) Basic Slag Several important changes have been made recently in the regulations under the Fertilizer Act, one . ot which relates to basic slag, (Thomas Phosphate). It i8 now required that basic slag have at least 14 per cent of available phosphoric acid and at least 16 per cent of total phosphoric acid, and have a fineness of at least 80 per cent, otherwise the product must be sold under the name "Low Grade Basic Slag". Moreover, the percent- age of available phosphoric acid must always be given as a prelix to 'the brand name, as, for example, "16 Per Cent Basic Slag". Numerous shipments of basic slag, of a low quality from the standpoint of availability, have been imported from Europe during recent years, and the recent changes in the require. ments for both analysis and labelling have been' accordingly designed to protect Canadian purchasers against such inferior grade products, Function of Advertising Observes the London Times: "The Function of Adverlising in the Dis. tribution of Foods," was the subject of a paper by Lork Luke at the congress of the International Cham. ber of Commerce in Paris, In his absence it was read by Mr, C. 8. Kent, the assistant manager of the Times, Advertising, 'it was pointed out was really" one of the most economical ag well as one of the most effective 'means of obtaining adequate distri. bution, It had been estimated that the total retail trade in Great Brit. ain amounted to £2,361,000,000 in a year and that the total amount spent in advertising was about £70,000,000 a year, or about three per cent. Advertising covered a very great proportion of the total retail trade, and where the percentage of adver- tising was higher than the average there was often a proportionate re- duction jn the costs of distribution, Selling costs could be kept much lower. The success of some of the combined advertising campaigns, such as the "eat more fish" or "eat more fruit" campaigns, had been not- able In securing greater distribution and more effective consumption of goods by tlie public. Government Departments, too, were learning that silence was not golden in the 'market-place, and where they had services to offer they were finding it profitable to advertise judicially. The Post Office telephone was a case in point. Advertising was also being start: ed_on behalf of some of the market- ing boards set up to encourage the distribution of primary agricultural products, A falling off in public de- mand, unstimulated by advertising, eventually meant loss of 'distribution, Where advertising was employed to stimulate public demand the chan. nels of distribution remained freer and more open. If advertising was a necessary part 6Y the distribution plan of any established manufacturer, how much more it was needed in the introduction of a new product! He knew of no outstanding success am- ong new products which had not made intelligent ue of advertising. Lipstick Tissues Save Linens From Stains The management of a New York hotel, some time ago noted that an enormous amount of table linens, napkins and towels were being ruin- ed because of women wiping rouged lips on the linens. Many brands of this rouge are irremovable and leaves a permanent imprint even after laundering, forcing the linens from service. The management fin- ally adopted inexpensive packets of lipstick tissues which were distribut- ed freely in rooms and in dining rooms, with the result that the des- truction of linens has been reduced to a minimum.

O-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 Reveals Your Your Handwriting All Rights P 3 ' Ye Geoffre when they read these articles on Graphology 1s: "How can Graphol- ogy help me?" This is, after all, a natural ques- tion, because it is the personal angle of things that interests us most vit- ally. I will endeavor to answer the question by first posing others. Are you progressing in your work? --or are you dissatisfied; a square peg in a round hole; unable to make any real progress, yet not knowing what to do to effect a change for the better? Are you happy and contented? -- or are you continually frowning at life, with a constant chip on your shoulders? : If you are married, are you con- tented?--or Is disquiet creeping in, with perpetual bickering?' Do you make friends, and keep them? -- or are you living the life of an involuntary recluse, unable to enjoy the society of and companion- ship of others? If these questions reveal that there is something lacking in your char- acter or nature; if you feel that you are not getting the best out of life, then the problem is to tind what is wrong, and how to rectify it. To Know Yourself is to Understand. And that is the. essential foundation for rejuvenation . or rehabilitation, Graphology shows the hidden char- acteristics that make up the sum to- tal of what you are and what you are capable of becoming.

(From Canada Week by Week) Dominion Day marked the formal opening of that section of the trans- Canada highway between Winnipeg and Fort William-Port Arthur. - The opening of this particular link of the inter-oceans highway is a highlight in the history of Canadian roadbuilding as .it enables motorists for the-first time to drive their cars from Halifax to Vancouver and vice versa over an all-Canadian route. It is true-that to do this motorists must use the car ferries between the twin ports of Port Arthur and Fort William, Ontario, at the head of the Great Lakes, to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, pending the con- struction of the remaining links of "Canada's Main. Street" between Schreiber and White River, a dis- tance of 125 miles, now 'under con- tract and the ultimate link or twin links between White River and Sault Ste. Marie and Hearst. There is also a short gap in Brit- ish Columbia where cars are being' carried by trains until the highway is completed, The Winnipeg-Fort William-Port Arthur section of the trans-Canada highway is 452 miles in length, It is gravel surfaced, the travelled por- tion being 30 feet wide, and it has been driven in 10 hours. The radius of curvature is gener- ous and the gradients easy. It inter- sects some of the continent's finest fishing and hunting country as well as far-famed scenic Summer play- grounds. The Kenora and the Lake of the Woods districts with their and streams are world famed, The trans . Canada' highway will be approximately 4,200 miles long, and will provide motorists with an opulence of diversified scenery un- equalled by any other of the world's great trunk roads. There now remains only approximately six per cent. to construct in order to bridge the gap northeast of Lake Superior, and a short section in is now under construction.

The little ones, who should have long since have been abed, were very noisily awake. Plainly, something was going gn, but | what, it was no one would tell me, I was led Into a room and- the -door was closed, 'Prepare yourseit for a shock," I was warned. Out." side, 1 could hear voices whispering. Suddenly the door was flung open and in marched the family, singing "Happy Birthday to you!" And on my lap they laid their collective gifts--a gorgeous "set of golf clubs, matched, numbered, . certified and hooded. : It was a shock, as they had prom. ised. I blenched and my hand shook ag I fingered the chonium-plated instruments of a renewed servitude. Years ago I had shaken off the yoke of this enslaving pastime and had | been a relatively free man there. after, . | Now I am back in the galleys, piv. oting, pronating and trying once more to solve the unanswerable my. stery of the putt. | x +» It is the family's idea that I am to get out of doors, relax, enjoy the beauties of nature and drink the scented air of the greensward, Too young to know what 1 have been through, they cannot understand in presenting me with a.set of goit clubs they are presenting a runaway slave with a nice new set of chains --a convalescent from mortal illness with a new set of lethal germs--a cured addict of morphine with a bright and shining hypodermic! The fact js that 1 was once a de- votee of the.slice and hook. My lips first touched the fatal cup 'way back in the days of the hard ball, when 150 yards was a man's drive and people in red coats played against bogey. I used implements now known only to the archaeologist, such as the cran and the baffy. In those days clubs and names (as did holes) and science 'had not invaded sport with a numbering system that made goit as dryly technical as the triangula- tion of an artillery problem. ] x * In those days the turf was mowed by sheep and one drove from a pinch of sand. There were bunkers to im- pede the blunderer and they stayed put from season to. season. There 'were no brass-buttoned flunkies flut. tering around the locker houses. and no such thing as a starting time. Even strong men used floaters on the water holes. : In that consulship of Piancus, golt was a game. A set of sticks, gathered from here and there and stoutly' shafted with hickory, lasted a life. time and .were passed on to poster- ity. The annual model mania had not appeared and the ball with a centre guaranteed to outdrive all others had. not begun to dominate the advertis- ing pages of the magazines. Men did not visit their professional oftener than they visited their dentists and a round of golf (on what was then cali. ed a "links") had not tried to out- do the speculative possibilities of the stock market. * I -Ah, well, it is a sign of advancing senility when one begins to lament a golden past. One must keep abreast' of changing times. I shall yleld to the numerology of modern golf and bow to the necessity of getting my right hand through, as with cold and repellent steel 1 smite a piece of dry ice enveloped in latex, «I,shall be more or less miserable, but it will be the misery of the must- ard plaster. In my angu'sh at the hopeless task of trying to manage my anatomy in the manner of Bhbby Jones, I shall forget my lesser woes. As 1 struggle to keep my left hand over, my arm straight, my head down . and my courage up, | shall achieve respite from the task of trying to make sense out of politics. In: the pain of missed putts, [ shall forget the gnawing ache that plagues the amateur economi:t. And when my ball goes soaring oft into the bushes, in the old familiar slice, 1 shall bel- low so loud that the reverberations from Washington will echo thinly in my ears. ! The more 1 think of it the hap- pier this choice of birthday gifts be- comes, 1 have had some years of freedom, but I begin to suspect that the domesticated bird is happiest in a cage. Like a recaptured canary, | shall thrill contentedly inside the bars of golf, and when, at the end of the day's pleasure, the last tortur- ing putt gurgles in the cup, work will teem like play. -* .
