"Did you notice any one OTI the range this inoriing?" asked Vance. "No!" The denial was swift an. emphatic. "I saw no one. I havtn'i looked out on the range all day."

"l)e> you mind if 1 look out?" With difficulty the woman brought herself back from sonic far train of thought. "Oh, no. It isn't much eif a view, though. I can see the tre.es of Tli'h Sirwt toward the north, and a parr of the Dillard yard to the south. But that brick wall opposite is very ele- pre -inir.

He glancecj s his watch. "Is your son in, Mrs. Drukker?" "My on! My baby! What do you want with him?" Her voice rose piti- fully, and her eyes fastened or Vnn'-o with venomous hatred.

"What does all this mean?" he do- manek-d in a high-pitched tremulous voice looking toward Miss Dillard. "Are these friends of yours, Belle?" The girl started to speak, but Vance halted he-r with a gesture. "The truth is, Mr. Drukker," ha explained sombrely, "there has been a tragedy next door. This is Mr. Mark- ham, the District Attorney, and Ser- geant Heath of the Police Depart- ment; and at our request Miss Dil- lard brought us here that we might ask your mother whether or not she had noticed anything unusual on the archery range this morning. The tragedy occurred Just outside the base- ment door of the Dillard house." Drukker thrust his chin forward and squinted. "A .ragedy, eh? What kind ..* tragedy?" "A Mr. Robin was killed wifli a bow and arrow." The man's face b*gan to twitch spasmodically. "Robin killed? Killed? . . . What time?" "Some time between eleven and twelve, probably." "Between eleven and twelve?" Quickly Drukker's gaxo shitted to his mother. He seemetl to grew excited, anel his huge splay fingers worried the hem of his snieiking-jacket. "What did you see?" His eyes glinted as he foc- ussed them on the woman. "What do you mean, son?" The re- tort was a panic-stricken whisper. Drukker's face became hard, and the suggestion of a siie-er tv.ir.tc-d his lips. "I mean that it war about that UIIK- when 1 heard a scream in this room." "You didn't! No-no!" She caught her breath and wnirgcd her head jerk- ily. "Y-iu're mistaken, son. 1 didn't scream this morning." "Well, some' one did." There was ji cold relentleuneu in the mans tone. Then, afte-r a pause., he added: "The fuel is I came upstairs after I heard tho .scream, nnd listened at the- ele>o here, but you were- walking about humming 'Kin Popeia,' se, I \\e-nt bncU to my work." MIR. Drukker pie-ssc-el a handker- chief to her face-, and lie-r e-yi-s cleisoel momentarily, "You were at your work l>--twei-n i-lcven unel twelve?" Her voie-e now rang with subeluc.*d i-age-rness. "But I e-ulled you several times " "I hearel you. Rut I didn't nn^we-i . I was te>o busy." "So that was it." She- turned slow- ly toward the window. "I thought you were out. Didn't you tell me?" "I told you I was going to the Dil- larels. But Sigurd wasn't there, and 1 came back a little befejre eleven." "I didn't Fee you come in." Thei woman's pne-rgj- was spent, and <<he lay hack listlessly, her eyes on tho brick wall opposite. "Anel when I cnlle-d and you didn't answer I na- turally thought you were still out." "I left the- Dillards' by the street gate, and took n walk in the park." Urukker's voice was irritable. "Then I le>t myself in by the front door." "And yeiu say you heard me screaiii. . . . But why should I scivnm, son'.' I've bad no pains in my back this meirning." Drukker frowned, and his little eyes moved swiftly from Vance te> Mark- ham. "I heard some eme scream a wo- manin this roeim," he iterated stub- beirnly. "About half nuHi eleven." Then he sank into n chair and gareei moodily at the fleior.

It will be 9 ft. in diameter, lined with steel and con- crete, and near'y five miles long; and in places it will be l.COO ft. bplow the summit of the hills. Tins wonderful tunnel Is only part : of a vast engineering plan which will j cost $50,000,000 and will take live' years to complete, the money being spent by the Manchester Corporation to carry out a scheme for convcj Ing water from the heart of Lakeland to Manchester and the enormous Indus- j trial district of which the city is tiie centre. There is to be an 82 miles aqueduct from the Lake District to Manchester; the 82 miles will include this five-mile tunnel. Altogether, the total length of tan- Helling will be about 30 miles. The great extent of the enterprise will be i understood when it l.i remembered I that th.,> Severn Tunnel, which Is England's longest railway tunnel, Is 4 1/3 miles in length, and was under construction for thirteen years. Here again, in Lakeland, Nature herself Is being conquered, and a vast population is being put Into actual toucli with one of the wildest and loneliest spots in Great Britain. From a region which is in some ways as primitive as it was centuries ago, the pure, refreshing water Is to be taken to the multitudes of people who Inhabit Manchester and the neighborhood.

Changing the Face of Nature ! Haweswater Is to be raised from a level of 100 ft. to 190 ft. by means of a huge dam, and so that the water scheme can be properly carried out It will be necessary to obliterate, by submersion, tho' undent village of Mardale, with its church, graveyard, farmhouses, school, and cottages. In this way the very face of Nature will be changed. Haweswater is .- r. high above sea- level that Its water will travel 'by gravity to Manchester, and will rush through the aqueduct and tunnels at Ihe rate of 90,000,000 gallons a ilay. The big tunnel will go under the mountains, aud the aqueduct will pass by the ancient market town of Ken- da). The tunnel will be so construct- ed that, in adidtlon to the Immense pipes conveying the water, sp.ie-e will be left for workmen to make re- pairs at any time. Skilful and cour- ageous men will be needed. Economy Corner Ginger Marshmallow Sauce. One tablespoon gelatine, 1 table- spoon cold water, 'fc cup sifted pow- dered sugar, whites of 2 eggs.

In the Heart of the Mountain* That first explosion was an example of the astonishing things which will be done before tho scheme Is com- pleted. Tons of Iron-hard rock and earth and stonea were hurled about 200 ft. Into the nlr, and dangerous fragments were carried right across the valley. An Immense steel safe- ty-net had been placed In position to catch the fragments; but the tre- mendous explosion carried the net hundreds of yards away. The explosion was merely tho open- ing note of many like It, for during the next five years hundreds of tons of high explosives will bo used, and sonui 150,000 tons of solid rock will lie blasted. Like swiirniH of ants attacking a heap which seems impossible of re- duction by small Infinitesimal foives, an army of human beings are at work on two faces of what look like Im- pregnable mountains. They arc operating simultaneously nt each side, and In time the working parlies will moot face to face in tho vory heart of the, mountains. And tlia result of this Herculean undertaking?
