Rushing into her fathe: . a friend, is Join Eye" TJttock, Foster threw open the door of the cupboard and burst out to find himself entangled in a drapery that had been thrown over the door and r of the cupboard. He tore it down, was the portiere curtain that had been lifted and slung adroitly to bio! v He ground his teeth at the plicity with which he had been worsted. Who could have done thi Who was it who had heard the structions that One-eye had given him in the drawing room? He had no time to consider this point for his gaze fell on something that had been laid on the table. It was the ruin of a photographic plate, cracked and split from end to end into innumerable pieces and placed on a sheet of white writing paper so that, even in its smashed state there still remained a possibility of observing that it was the plate from which the print had been taken. But no other print would ever be printed from those broken pieces of glass. Dr. Foster drew a long breath. He did not touch the broken plate, but his lips set in a firm line as he tiptoed to the door and opened it. He thrust his head out. Nobody was about. He locked the door noiselessly and went downstairs. One-eye was seated in the drawing-room, chewing gum calmly and unruffled. He looked up as Foster entered. The latter closed the door and advanced. "It is there," he said, and told of his experience and the state of the The mulatto listened without a change of expression. His eye was fixed on the carpet for some time. Then he rose and hitched his shoulders, and stared out of the window, thinking hard. Foster noticed for the first time that during periods of concentration the mulatto's single eye lost its usual keenness and became dim and vacant. He was completely absorbed in the problem that had presented itself; so absorbed that he did not hear Foster ask twice what was to be done. Several minutes passed thus. At last One-eye spoke in a husky, faint why Missy Barron an' yo' doan sail f'r England in de Meridian, suh. Ah forgot t' tell you' dat de verdict ob de jury was one ob murder agen some pusson or pussons unknown. Yo' bettsh go up an' see Missy, suh, an' Ah'll hand ober de keys ob de house to de butler." It sounded like a confession failure to Dr. Foster and his face fell in disappointment. One-eye si the effect of his words. He drew 1 fiddlewood cudgel from his slee and tapped it with a long forefingi "See dem notches, doc? Ebery o: is f'r a man what thought hisself clevah. Ho, yus, bery clevah. Dem notches, doc, mean dat Ah nevah lost a man Ah set out t' get." And something in the grim accent convinced Dr. Sidney Foster that , th*e : om of tpas at.

Chapter VI HUGHE'S OUTBURST Before the Meridian sailed Fcste; had had a long conversatior with the mulatto detective. One-' e, in-deed, had come down to see th partv off, and it was not so muc wha'f. the mulatto had said as his anner of saying it that gave Fost con-denee that the mystery wot 1 be pursued to a solution. The local police authorities had assured 'oster that they intended to contiml the^ investigations and One-eye vs i have his usual free hand to d c who, or what, had killed Jame Every effort had been made authorities to trace the owners p of the gun, without avail. It \ a curious pattern, old fashioni French make, and its like co seen here and there in Haiti ing in the holster of a native or general. There was one thing that carried in his luggage that he never shown to Maud Barron anyone else. This was a copy print which One-eye had thro n the table at the inquest. The ' ul: to had rescued the print preserve the terrU>le features accurately, but rfft very dist :tly. The aid of a phdpLgrapher hac" called in to make' the print pe ent; and a copy of it had been to Foster at his particular intended, when the opportunity sented itself, to show this pri Maud, and ask her if she couli tinguish any characteristic. The truth was that a hope remained in Foster's mind there might be some way of idei ing this sinister face, for if, au... father had asserted, it was the.fi. of the'man with who he had qsai relied, the recognition could no| 1 in the greenish hue that Foster had noticed that evening when he saw it, nor could afcy^ human face have such devilish expression. The recognition must lie in some other point.

M. !Kirkwood, author cf "Women and the Machine Age," and assistant professor of English in University College. Other favorite forms of recreation she notes in a pamphlet recently published by the Social Service Council of Canada, are the "movies" or "talkies," the use ot the motor car, and a Growing interest in athletics and outdoor sports. The pamphlet is the seventh in the series on "The Machine Age," and come to the conclusion that there is needed a new standard of social re-sponsibility. Mrs. Kirkwood sees a need for a new ideal of marriage and home life combining the new liberty (broi about by the introduction of mac ery) with the old seriousness sanity. The morality based on knowledge of birth control and equality of women in the marriage relationship is far ffrom mature yet, she asserts in stressing the responsibilities of home building and child training. Amusement as a sole in life will satisfy neither man nor woman, she believes, and for the mal fullfillment of human experience education for social relationships needed as much as fcr vocations and Tea at its Best "SALADA" Your Handwriting Tells Your Heal Character!

Eight-ounce Baby-Lived For A Day j New York--An eight ounce baby girl died after an all-day struggle by physicians and two nurses to ^keep her alive. The tiny infant, whose birth was premature by 4V2 months, was the •first child of Patrolman Terrence Borelli, 29, and his wife, Marjorie, Physicians said the baby was nor- al in every respect save size. She measured 13 inches in length and had head circumference of nine inches. The infant, born at 6:25 a.m., was placed immediately in an incubator. Late in the afternoon she seemed to stop breathing, but after a series of njeetions and increased applications of oxygen she appeared to rally. At 6:45 p.m., Dr. Lester Samuels, pronounced her dead. Vancouver Riots Cost City $68,000 Vancouver. --- Mayor G. G. Mc-Geer has informed the Civic Finance Committee that recent unemployment demonstrations and consequent defence of the city has cost $68,-000. Expenditures including $150 for hiring a field gun, purchase of a machine gun and $6,578 for feeding special police officers have been approved. A correspondent sends me samples of the handwriting of several t known film stars and asks m< analyse the writings for her. There is so much of interest in these , lyses that I am making them subject of a special article. Perhaps you have wondered why many men have been led into the different pursuits in which they have gained fame and fortune? It is immensely interesting to think whal might have been if different individ-uals had been born with traits of character that were entirely different from the real characteristics of their .re born into Many men and womer this world with definite talents, and abilities, that they must learn in order to take full advantage of them. Some go through life and never even learn their proper talents while others find and develop them early in life. Take the handwriting of John Boles, a well-known star. The dominant trait in his character is self-reliance. This is the quality that makes him depend only on himself for anything he wants done. He is not surly (quite the contrary) to his many friends, but, at the same time, he looks to one man 'only to get what he wants--and that man is himself. John Boles could not be anything else if he desired--there is an independence of thought and action that will not allow him to think of help when he has a problem to face. He is close-mouthed about his personal affairs, and will usually have them solved before other people have heard about them. Decisive, quick-thinking --a man of action--John Boles. Some time ago 1 analysed the writing of Ramon Novarro. This film star was very fortunate in finding his talent and making it the driving force of his life. His writing s.hows, as all those who have seen his films know, that he is a great dramatic actor--that he can interpret a role in a way that few people can even approach, but he has also another ability and another very outstanding talent with which he -has won recognition--his ability in music. The rhythm and breaks in his writing show immediately to the handwriting analyst--a talent and appreciation of the musical arts. You, my reader, may not have any tremendous talents like these well-known film actors. On the other hand, ycu may have some outstanding ability with which you could, if you recognized it, and cultivated it, acquire a good position or fill a particular niche in life. But you must understand yourself; you must realise the latent abilities within yourself and, once recognizing these, set to work to make the most of them. A graphological delineation will not invest you with particular powers or abilities; it will show you whether or not you possess some outstanding talent which you ought to cultivate. And it will show you to a greater understanding of yourself and your problems. Would you what your h like t rish to know indwrlting tells about :r and that of your friends? Send specimens of the writ, ing you want analysed, stating birth-date in each case. Enclose 10c coin for each specimen and enclose with 3c stamped addressed envelope, to: Geoffrey St. Clair, Roorr 421, 73 Ad-edaide St. West, Toronto, Ont.

Iceland Isn't Such A Cold Place An Icelandic nurse, spending si weeks in Toronto, doing publi health and hospital observation work for the Red Cross, is Miss SigvMu\ Bachman. Miss Bachman is a graduate nurss of University College Hospital, Lon with post-graduate work ir public health at Bedford College England. She has come to Canada at the request of the Icelandic Red Society, under the Exchange Committee of the Canadian Nurses' Association, to observe methods here and take back to the work in her native land, to which she returns in the fall, the benefit of her experi- "The Icelandic climate is not nearly so severe as people think it is-- it is modified by the Gulf Stream," Miss Bachman said, in an interview. "This year we had the best May we have had in years--much than it was in England." Schools close in May, not because of the heat, but on account of thi short days in winter. People like to make the most of the summer and get the children off to the country for a long vacation. Some of the days in November and December do not have mire than five or six hours of daylight, she added. "The housing is quite good--'stone' houses, we call them, mostly made of cement, with general heating, of coal, with furnaces." The State hospital, as well as the houses in that area are heated from the geyser, "the biggest hot springs in the world," she said. Most of the women and girls of Iceland are adopting the Western dress, although many of the older women still cling to their national costume.^ Business Better Beatty Declares Halifax.--Canadian business generally is benefiting by a sound, steady improvement which has been in progress for a considerable time, Sir Edward Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, said here recently as he stepped down m a special train which is carry-him through the Maritimes an annual tour of inspection of company enterprises. The only cloud on Canada's industrial recovery front, the rail chief asserted, was in West-Canada, where crop prospects indefinite and where there was no assurance that the 1935 yield would be'readily marketed.

Some of the eastern newspapers have already published the thing In streamer headlines: "First Birthday for the Dionne Quinties!"
