Suddenly there w».s a break in the ronversationâ€" a sound of a footstep. Emily retreated rapidly. When Violet Willett opened her mother's door and came down the stairs Hhe was surprised to find her late KUPSt standinjf in the hall peer- ing al)out her in a lost dog kind of way. "My gloves," she explained. "1 must have left them. I came back for them." "I expect they are in here," said Violet. They went into the drawing room and there, sure enough, on a little table near where Emily had been sit- ting lay the missing gloves. "Oh, thank you," said Emily. "It's stupid of me. I am always leaving things." Once again they parted at the hall door, and this time Emily heard the key being turned in the lock. She went down the drive with plenty to think about for, as that door on the upper landing had opened, .she heard distinctly one sentence spoken in an older woman's fretful and plain- tive voice: "My God," the voice had wailed, '1 ran't bear it. Will tonight never come?" Emily arrived back at the cottage to find her boy friend absent. He had, Mrs. Curtis explained, gone off with several other young gentlemen, but two telegrams had come for the young lady. Emily took them, read them, and put them in the pocket of her sweater. At the moment she felt disinclined- f<ir anything but .solitude. She want- id to sort out and arrange her own ideas. She went up to her own room, and taking pencil and nott'iiaper she M.'t to work on a system of her own. After twenty minutes of this exercise the was interrupted by Mr. Enderby. "Hullo, hullo, hullo, there you are. Fleet Street has been hard on your track.s all morning, but they have just missed you everywhere. Any- way they have had it from me that you are not to be worried. As far as ycu are concerned, 1 am the big noise." He sat down on the chair, Kmily M'cupied the bed, and chuckled. "Envy and malice isn't in it!" he laid. "I have been handing them out the Koods. I know eieryone and 1 a- 1 right in it. It's too good to be true. I keep pinching myself and feeling 1 will wake up in a minute. 1 say, have you noticed the fog?" "It won't stop me going to Exeter this afternoon, will it?" said Emily. •'Do you want to go to Exeter?" "Ves, I have to meet Mr. Dacrcs there. My solicitor, you know â€" the one who is undertaking Jim's defense. He wants to see me. And I think I shall pay a visit to Jim's Aunt Jennifer, while I am there. After all, Exeter is only half an hour away," "Meaning she might have nipped over by train and batted her brother over the head and nobody would have noticed her absence." "Oh, I know it sounds rather im- probable, but one has to go into every- thing. Not that I want it to be Aunt Jennifer â€" I don't. I would much rather it was Martin Dering. I hate the sort of man who presumes on going to be a brother-in-law and does things in public that you can't smack his face for." "Is he Ihat kind?" "Very much that kind. He's an ideal person for a murderer â€" ahvay- getting telegrams from bookmakers a.id losing money on horses. It's an- noying that he's got such a good alibi. .Mr. Dacres told me about it. A pub- li.'^her and a literary dinner seems .so very unbreakable and respectable." "A literary dinner," said Enderby. "Friday night. Martin Dering â€" let me see â€" -Martin Dering â€" why, ye.s â€" I am almost sure of it. Dash it all, 1 am quite sure of it, but 1 can clinch things by wiring to Carruthers." "What are you talking about?" said Emily. "Listen," said Enderby. "You know I came down to Exhampton on Fri- day evening, Emily. Well, there was a bit of information I was going to get from a pal of mine, another news- paper man, Carrutiiers his name is. He w-as coming round to see me about half past six if he could â€" before he went on to some literary diniioi- he is rather a big bug, Carruthers, and if he couldn't make it he would send me a line to Exhampton. Weil, he didn't make it and he did fvn'\ me a line." "What has all this got to do with it?" said Pvniily. "Don't be .so impatient, I am com- ing to the point. The old chap was rather fuddled when he wrote it â€" done himself ^well at the dinner â€" after giving me the item 1 wanted, he went on to waste a bit of juicy dc- •â- ^cription on me. You know- â€" about the speeches and what asses so and .so, a famous novelist and a famous ))laywright were, .•^nd he said he had been, rottenly placed at the dinner. There was an empty seat on one side I ' him where Kuby .McAlmott, that awful best-seller woman, ought to have sat and an empty place on the other side of him where the sex .-jpe- cialist, Martin Dering, ought to have been, but he moved up near to a poet, who is very well known in Black- heath, and tried to make the best >:â- { things. Now, do you see the point?" New Test Reveals Alcohol Intoxication "Charles! iJarling!" Emily be- came lyrical with excitement. "How marvelous. Then the brute wasn't at the dinner at all?" "Exactly," "You are sure you've remembered, 7vvo Drops of Blood From the name right?" E" d i a <• ••I'm positive.

"There's the publisher still, of cour.se," said Emily. "The one he spent the afternoon with. But I rather think it was a publisher who was Just going back to America, and if so, that looks fishy, I mean it looks as though he had selected .someone who couldn't be asked without a lot of trouble," "Do you really think we have hit it?" said Charles Enderby. "Well, it looks like it, 1 think the best thing to be done is â€" to go straigt to that nice Inspector Narra- cott and just tell him these new facts, I mean, we can't tackle an American publisher who is on the Mauretania or the Bcrengaria or somewhere. That's a job for the police." "My word, if this comes off. What a scoop!" said -Mr, Enderby. "If it does, I should think the Daily Wire couldn't offer me less than â€" " Emily broke in ruthlessly into his dreams of advancement. "But we musn't lose our heads,' she said, "and throw everything else to the wind, I must go to Exeter. I don't suppose I shall be able to be back here until tomorrow. But I've got a job for you." "What kind of a job?" Emily described her visit to the Willetts and the strange sentence she had overheard on leaving. "We have got absolutely and posi- tively to find out what is going to happen tonight. There's .something in the wind." "What an extraordinary thing!" "Wasn't it? But of course it may be a coincidence. Or it may not â€" but you observe that the servants are be- ing cleared out of the way. Something queer is going to happen there to- night, and you have to be on the spot to see what it is." "You mean I have to spend the whole night shivering under a bush in the garden?" "Well, you don't mind that, do you? Journalists don't mind what they do in a good cause. You will do it, won't you?" "Oh, rather," said Charle."'. "I am not going to miss anything. If any- thing queer goes on at Sittaford House tonight, I shall be in it." Emily then told him about the lug- gage label. "It's odd," said .Mr. Enderby. "Aus- tralia is where the third Pearson is, isn't it? â€" the youngest one. Not, of course, that that means anything, but still it â€" well, there might be a con- nection." , "H'm," said Kmily. "I think that's all. Have you anything to report on your side?" * "Well," said' Charles, "I've got an idea. The only thing is I don't know how you'll like it." "I hope I can listen sensibly and quietly to anything." ' "Well, the point is," said Charles Enderby, eyeing her doubtfully, "don't think 1 mean to be oflfensive or anything like that, but do you tl.ink that lad of yours is to be de- peniied on for the strict truth?" "Do you mean," said Kmily, •'that he did murder him after all? Y'ou are quite welcome to that view if you like. I said to you at the beginning tliat that was the natural view to take, but 1 said we had to work on the assumption that he didn't." "1 don't mean that," said Enderby. "What I mean is, how far is his own story of what happened true? He says he went there, had a chat with the (dd fellow, and came away leav- ing him alive and well. You don't think it's jiossible he went there and actually fo ind the idd man dead? 1 mean, he might have been scared and not liked to say so," Emily frowned and creased her brow in thought, "I am not going to pretend," she said. "It is possible. I hadn't thought of it before, I know Jim wouldn't murder anyone, but he might (juile well get rattled and tell a silly lie and then, of course, he would have to stick to it. Yes, it is (juite [lo; sible." (To Be Continued.) Beverage in Human Sys- tem â€" Also Used in Diagnosing Diabetes Chicago,â€" A new, simple finger- prick test for alcoholic Intoxication has been reported to the American Chemical Society. As a purely incidental flrding while proving up this test, the report told of three men and one woman who drank four bottles of 3.2 beer In 15 minutes, on empty stomachs. The alcohol in their blood, coming from the beer, proved to be les.s than half the volume which causes intoxication. It was just about enough to cause a sensation of warmth for a person In a warm room. Painless Method Found. The new test was devised to give a quick, painless method of testing alcohol in the system, to replace the usual blood tests which take enough blood to be painful to most ^persons. The finger.-prick technique requires only two drops. The same test can also be used in the diagnosis of diabetes. For that disease it shows the amount of ace- tone in the blood. For diabetes like- wise the method is easy and quick. It was described' by Drs. T, E, Friedmann, VV. G. Motel and Heinrich Necheies of the University of Chicago, The blood is placed in a small tube, with a little water, cleaned of pro- teins and distilled. In the distilled liquid is placed some potassium per- manganate, wliich converts the alcohol into carbon dioxide and water.

He lay there "I want to see the moon!" he an in the dark, his eyes wide open, think- ing. He was trying to puzzle out some- thing his mother had said. By and by «he looked in. "Asleep?" "No," came a subdued little voice. "Turn over now and close your eyes. You'll have to get over being disap- pointed." 'I'm not dis-appointed." "Then what's the matter?" "Nothing." "That's a good boy!" she kissed him and fixed the covers. The door closed and he was in dark- ness again. He lay very quietly but he didn't sleep, The little boy was wondering about things. Why he was promised some- of alcohol in the blood Dr. Friedmann also reported tests showing that the tissues of the human bodies, regardless of whether a person takes alcoholic drinks, contain alcohol in about the proportion of 10 parts in 1,000,000. The Chicago experiments indicate that this natural alcohol is produced by the body from sugars, A sqjall part of it may be formed in the body by bacteria. Splendid Flax Crop Is Grown by King London.â€" King George's fiax crop at Sandrlngliam has been gathered and the East Anglian harvest this year has been so good that Belgium the home of the finest flax in the world, may have to take second place in this industry. "The seed will also be of excellent quality." an ofiitial of the Linen In- dustry Research Association said. â- 'This is a matter of great impor-[ tance as it is hoped East Tnkfia will electricity throughout Engiand He wasn't old enough to reason in abstracts. To-night a very concrete problem was bothering him. He had never seen the moon at night. He had always gone to bed at si.x, except last summer when seven was the hour. The moon had often looked down at him in broad daylightâ€" a whitish disk in a pale blue skyâ€" but he had never seen the great golden plate on a velvet background like the pictures in his books. He had never seen even half a plate or even a saucer. At least, not snice he had begun to take an interest in things celestial as well as those ter- restrial. To-day someone had spoken of the beauty of the moon last night. To- night it was to be full. i27,00O,OO0 "Grid" ?h^n Nearing Completion London.â€" At Fordiugbridge, on the outskirts of the New Forest in Hamp- shire, the last pylon was erected re- cently which completed the main part of the "grid" scheme for transmitting "I want to see the moon!' uounced suddenly. The family gasped. "It was true!' they looked at each other. "Teddy had never seen a great big round full moon!" So bis mother promised him h« could stay up to see It. Then sh« thought about It rising an hour later. That wouldn't do at all! No, Teddj would have to go to bed on time. Sh« tried to explain. He couldn't under stand. He had been promised, and that to him was enough. A Puzzling Question Now he lay wondering why littU boys could have promises made tc them broken so easily. He wanted to see the moon. ' Downstairs he heard voices, tll« radio, doors closing, laughter, feel running up and down stairs. They had forgotten the boy and the moon and the promise. And it was all so import- ant to him. The harder he tried to think the wider awake he became. He sat up in bed finally and watched the curtains blowing at the window. And then between" the two house; across the way an enormous goldei ball hung directly in his line of vision The moon! He sat and stared and then leaped out of bed and hung or the window sill. The moon seemed to say, "I'm oi your side. I fooled them all. Hen we are â€" now take a good look; thei be a good boy and go to sleep." Teddy liualiy went back to bed an( instantly to sleep.
