Dr. Sidney Foster, a friend, is joined by Detective "One Eye" Utt [ mulatto, who has never lost & man, Maud Barron and Hughes return to England. Dr. Foster glves Maud his address in case of need. He receives a telegram {informing him. "The Ghost" has reappeared. "Them flowers cost a bit, sir," the gardener said. "They are the favor- ites of Miss Barron, She don't like them to be broken." Foster returned to the flower bed and the lawn, but there was little to be discovered. Not a footmark was to be seen. Nothing living except a fly, could have climbed that wall, It was time for dinner, and the doctor went into dress. Dusk was descending by this time and the lights of the large rooms downstairs were shedding warm glow over the lawn and gardens, When he entered the dining room Foster saw that only himself and Mrs. Gibbs were to dine together. She told him that Mr.-Hughes had gone off to town, and that Miss Monteith was with Maud, as they did not wish to leave her alone. The dinner was a quiet meal, and when it was over, Foster, instead of going into the drawing room, walked out to the decor. As he stood smoking a cigarette, he heard a voice from the hall speaking to Mrs. Gibbs, informing her that Maud was getting restless again. The voice struck on Foster's ears with a peculiar ring. It was pleasant, highly cultivated, musical, with a ring in it turned his head in time to see a girl's F ind Out From Your Doctor if the "Pain" Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well - Being to Unknown " Preparations EFORE you take any prepara- tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the ~-pains of rheumatism, 'neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it -- in comparison with "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of 'Aspirin, most so- called "pain" remedies were advis- "ed against by physicians as being bad for the. stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "As- pirin" largely changed medical prac- tice, Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and year out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods yet discoveréd for the relief of head- aches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly, "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade-mark of the Bayer Company, Limited. Look for the name Bayer i the form of a cross.on every tab- et.

GHOST figure go into the dinning-room and from the hall came a faint whiff of perfume, It was good perfume too, =- "That will be Miss Monteith," he told himself, "I'll go up and see the patient." He found Maud Barron restless but gradually overcoming her shock. He gave her a sleeping draught and advised her to retire to bed very soon. It was purely a proféssional visit. Mrs. Gibbs and the maid were there and Maud was looking fatigued and -weary, When he descended the stairs the doctor walked out to the drive. He wanted to take a short walk in the beautiful evening, and he wandered slowly down the drive towards the the grounds bordering the drive, great plane trees and oaks towering up in black masses against the fast: fading sky and forming a network of foliage that looked like black lace against pink silk. Striking through gorse bushes he cut into the wood. ? There was something in the beauty of the night that was caressingly sweet, He sat down on a fallen tree and lit a cigarette. He made no attempt to think, All he desired for the moment was to allow his mind to lie dormant, as his body was inactive, He finished his cigarette threw away the end of it. Rising to his feet he was about to move on when suddenly he: stop- ped. Did he hear a sound? He could have sworn that something rustled among the trees, something that was not the wind, something that spoke of conscious hovemend, action. _ He looked round. And then he stood stock still, and his throat went suddenly dry. Among the branches of the trees behind him he thought he saw a.glimmer.- He strained his eyes. Something grey -- or was it white? -- moved lower down. The glimmer he. had seen among the branches became brighter, then fad- ed. It seemed to be moving towards him when it disappeared. : Foster had come without his stick, but on the spur of the moment he bent down and his hands clawed among the grass and weeds. His fingers closed over a stone as big as his fist. He could throw that at any rate. 4 And then his eyes were directed towards a form moving about the tree trunks within twenty yards of where he stood. His heart began to beat rapidly. He held the stone poised ready to throw. i Was the green ghost coming to- wards him? : CHAPTER VIII, Introducing Elsie Monteith Foster saw again the glimmer among the branches high up. It mov- ed slowly, jerkily at times, then with a gliding movement. It had the same greenish hue about it that he | had noticed previously: but just as. he was about to throw his stone it moved away and was lost in the black foliage. i And then, a few moments later, while Foster stood staring at the spot where it had disappeared, he and was conscious of a movement to his | right. He peered in the direction. A form was moving there, gliding Span the grass. This time he shout- ed. "Hullo- Who's there?" The form stood still, Foster bounded forward.. He had almost reached the figure when a cry broke out, a short, surprised, startled cry. It was a woman's cry. "Who's there?" roared the doctor; and a moment later he reached the "Ye gods above!" came the reply in short, startled gasps, "I believe it is you, doctor. My goodness, you did give me a fright." "You know me?" he said, breath- ing heavily. "Who are you " | i RISK BAKING FAILURES MAGIC BAKING POWDER safeguards your *, cakes from failure.

GOURLAY Commissioner in Canada for The Tea Market Expansion Bureau. From time to time enquiries have been received from the public as to who is doing the "Any Time is Tea Time" advertising which has become familiar in newspapers throughout the Dominion during the past eigh- teen months. Until now this campaign has been carried out by The Ceylon Tea Bureau, sponsored by the Tea Grow- ers of Ceylon. Recently a new In- ternational Board was formed in London called The. International Tea Market Expansion Board, consisting of representatives of the Tea Grow- ers of India, Ceylon and the Nether- lands East Indies. This joining of forces will extend and intensify the tea propaganda which heretofore has been undertaken separately by each of these countries, the joint effort being to increase the world con- sumption of black teas 'of India, Ceylon and the Netherlands East Indies. The objects of the canipaign will| : remain unchangéd and the Bureau head' office will remain at the Sun Life Building, Montreal, Mr. F. E. .B. Gourlay, Canadian Commissioner, shown above, continuing at its head. Mr. Gervas Huxley, one of the technical members of the Internation-, al Tea Market Expansion Board, is at present in Canada to plan with Mr. Gourlay the 1936 campaign, Issue No. 40 -- 35 40 Before she answered he knew wis! : j obstacles present Easy Menus for Autumn Luncheons Seasonal Recipes You'll Want To Try A vegetable salad with toasted meat sandwiches is a favorite fall luncheon Spread the meat mixture on a thick slice of buttered bread, roll it up like a jelly roll, cut it down in slices and toast the slices.

Your Handwriting Tells Your Real Character! By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR (Graphologist) All Rights Reserved. (Editor's Note: -- Have YOU had YOUR character "analysed from your handwriting? You would find it very helpful to you, and the author of this ar.icle . makes an especial invitation to you, to take advantage of this opportunity. See the following * article). ® * * My remarks In some earlier art. icles, regarding the extent to which a handwriting analysis can help in forming your future, have inspired one lady to write and ask for more information on this point. This seems an opportune time for me to do so. What you are, ard..what you do, depend to a large extent- on..your character. Other things, such as edu- cation, environment, upbringing, op- poriunities and.so on, do enter into it, but these are all relative, and can | all be influenced by your character. | People - with sufficient strength of j character can overcome all deficienc- ies in these other angles by applying themselves to the task. "Take two men, to illustrale my point, One of them is strong-willed, determined, persistent and perserver- -{ ing. He makes up his mind to pro- ceed along certain lines in order .to reach a definite peak of progress. He has the strength of character to apply | himself and to keep on, even. though themselves. He 'may, at times, become a trifle down- i hearted, but it is merely a temporary feeling, and he reassures himself by calling on his self-confidence and 'by renewing his efforts. The other man is indefinite, vacil- lating and weak. He has little or no will-power, cannot make up his mind go about the work of getting some- where. He procrastinates--hopes for something to turn up, like Micawber, but doesn't 'make the necessary el- fort to achieve things for himself. When things turn out badly or he canno: see anything in the future to hope for, or to look forward to, he gets dejected, and starts blaming conditions, or lack of opportunity-- anything and anybody but himself. Which of these two men can rea- sonably look forward to a better Tu. ture? One doesn't need to be a cry- stal gazer or fériune teller to con- clude that the first man--the one with character--Wwill improve his posi- what he wan's to .do, nor 'how tol tion, whilct the other one will lose ground. Now, the science of Character reading from Handwriting can tell you your characteristics. It can tell each of the two men whose cases 1 hdve quoted, exactly wherein lies his strength and weaknesses. Graphology can encourage each of these men-- but in a different way. And it pro- vides the man who is weak with knowiedge of wherein he needs to strengthen his characterisiics, and eliminate weak traits. --- To the extent that it can &elp you make the most of yourselves, and en- able you to strengthen your character --to this. extent, Graphology can in- fluence YOUR futures LSet (The above is a reprint of one of my earlier articles.

In reality, the work was brought into being by the excellent co-operation of the Government, anxious to get things going some- how, and the non-altruistic co-oper- ation of numerous road-construction firms, also anxious to obtain such juicy contracts. On May 19 of this year Chancel- lor Hitler opened the first completed portion of the scheme, the fourteen miles section from Frankfurt to Darmstadt. "When the scheme is fin- ished Germany will possess the most modern net of motor roads in the world," Herr Hitler has said proud- ly. sv ® A glance at the plan of these new %. u ® the de- parture by taking into consideration the future development and. expan- proving public roads, whereas There are observers, of course, who point to "the significent fact that the construction of these stra- tegical roads coincides with Ger-. many's 'planned re-armament, but the Nazis hail it is a labor of peace. There is not the slightest doubt that these roads, when completed, will Tead to improved security both rE for motorist and pedestrian. By- tak- 'N ing thousands of cars off the ordin- : ary roads, the latter will be left comfortably free for ordinary walk- E ing, hiking and bicycles. When the ; fact that the 5,000 miles of new roads will constitute only three per- cent. of Germany's total road mile- age is taken into consideration, it can be seen that there is no ques: tion of competition. * * : - The new roads will have their special task of carrying motor traf- fic only. The scheme also ends the perpetual rivalry between State @ | railway and roads, because it is part of the State transportation. system. Naturally, it is bound to draw much goods traffic from the railways, but this will be balanced by increased trade in other directions. .. The new roads are to have a uni- form style, whether in East Prussia or in Bavaria. They consist of two parallel tracks, each one about 26 feet wide, with a grass track in be- tween, 15 feet wide, Each half of the whole road, therefore, is wide enough for two cars to travel side by side simultaneously. In order to avoid accidents, the left side has been as- signed to cars 'travelling at a great speed, while the right side is for those cars wishing to go much slow- er. - There are no crossings, for the roads run directly through forests and over specially constructed bridg- es which span rivers and ordinary roads. At intervals, pleasant - looking "watch towers" covered in flowers, have been ergcted, in which the Motor Road officials sit watching the traffic and ready for possible ac- 5 cidents. Swift cars patrol the roads day and night, for cars pass through long stretches of lonely areas where 1B human help -would be unavailable. : ywverything is being done to render the passage of the motorist along these roads pleasant and secure from danger. Fe Described as "the largest scheme for providing work Germany. has a ever known," the Motor Road scheme has naturally played an important role in reducing unemployment. In- deed, this is one of the major reasons why the Government rushed the scheme through in 1088, for unskill- ed labor and unused blueprints lay ready to hand. About 100,000 laborers toil at the actual construction of the roads, and it is ostima?)d that another 160,000 § unemployed workers have obtained 3 iB employment in the allied steel, iron, rond and earth industries. Officials and clerical workers employed in the scheme number 8,460, ; Fifteen thousand of the laborers working in#the roads live in 108 specially constructed Workers' gt Camps, built on the model of those used in big American undertakings. They consist of one-storey wooden barrack-like buildings. The men who live in these barracks receive oxtremely | amall wages, but the Narl Government contend that it is better for the men psychologically to be thus employed, although poorly Raids than to be idling on the dole in on, ARC mW * \ be
