"If that‘s what‘s in his mind, he‘s been jolly decent about Peter." a "There‘s nothing wrong with Peter," said Lucy defliantly. "I wasn‘t suggesting that." Lucy was silent, again, and Terry did not break into her thoughts.

He strode forward to the seated figâ€" ure, and called: "Mr. Monte!" ‘The figure beneath the umbrella did not move. Terence impatiently extended ‘a hand to tap him on the shoulder, and Lucy had a sudden presentiment which made her stand still. Terrence‘s hand mkled on ‘he man‘s shoulder. He did not turn his head; but very slowly, his whole body moved forward under the impact. It went down and fell and rolled over, in a set plece, as if made of wood. As he fell, they saw what they had not seen before, because the imbrella had hidden it. The broad back of the man‘s white linen jacket gleamed in the sun like starched lace; and in the middle of the shining white expanse was the hilt of a knife. A RISE IN THE WORLD Peter Crosby took the steps of the Orient Hotel two at a time. He was whistling as he went through the swing doors and approached the desk. His one impulse at the moment was to shake Mr. Monte warmly by the hand. He stepped up to the desk, and the clerk leaned over. "I want to see Mr. Monte," said Peter. A pained expression flitted across the clerk‘s face. Peter could guess the reaâ€" son. Mr. Monte might command sufâ€" ficient funds to ensure his entry into the Orient Hotel, but his rugged huâ€" mour and obvious lack of finish would scarcely fit in with its prevailing atâ€" "I will inquire if he is in, sir," murâ€" mured the clerk, as he picked up an ivory telephone.

"Mr. Monte keeps irregular hours sir." said the clerk; and there was no mistaking the disapproval in his tone. "He did not come in until an early hour this morning. Nevertheless he was up at four, and I am informed, announced his intention of going for a swim before breakfast. He has not yet returned." dashed. "Is there any message, sir?" "No," said Peter, making. up his mind. . "He can‘t be long. I‘ll wait for He was thinking that if he lingered in the hotel he might meet Lucy Carr. "The lounge is on the right, sir," said the clerk.. "Or, if you prefer the verandah, or the morning room, or the sun parlourâ€"â€"" sys "Thanks," said Peter shortly "The lounge will do." He turned away, and fOUDd himiself face to face with Sir John Carr. Lucy‘s father approached him with :a smile and outstretched hand. _ ""Mr. Crosby!

He seemed genuinely pleased to "I suppose you‘re calling for Lucy? She‘s gone out with young Parry, Gould tells me. Gould is my secreâ€" tary." Before Peter» could say anyâ€" thing the older man went on. "I‘m just going into breakfast. I suppose you‘ve had yours?" It was on the tip of Peter‘s tongue to say "Yes"; then he suddenly became conscious of the pangs of a healthy hunger. After all, why not! “Aâ€"s a matter of fact," he said. haven‘t" "KExcellent! Then you‘ll join me? This way," said Sir John, without waitâ€" ing for an answer. Over his shoulâ€" der he said: "Where are you staying?" Peter hesitated a second, but gave the name. "Good spot?"â€"asked Sir John amiâ€" ably. "I. telt you whatâ€"here‘s the tableâ€"I was thinking of asking if you‘d care to move in here, so that we could be all in one party; but' $ doubt if this place would suit you. Or anybody else with any taste and sense!" he addâ€" ed with a snort. He waved a hand around an ornate dining room, from whose wall painted Cupids _ beamed down on the guests. "Pretty ghastly, isn‘t it?" he conâ€" tinued. "And the foodâ€"well, it isn‘t bad, but it isn‘t worth what they charge. What will you have? The grapefruit isn‘t bad." While Sir John had been speaking, Peter had come to a sudden decision. He agreed with every word the older man had said; but there was one great factor in fayour of the Orient Hotel. Lucy stayed in it. And toâ€"day he could afford to take a plunge that would have been impossible yesterday. "I agree about the Cupids," he said with a smile. "But if you mean what you sayâ€"and it‘s extraordinarily kind of youâ€"I should love to join your parâ€" ty and put up here." this was not what the other man had expected.. He looked up with a start, and bent his white eyebrows at Peter. “Oh ! 99 said Peter. He felt somewhat sir. The gentleman But todayâ€"its different." "Why?" Sir John looked perplexed, but before Peter could answer, Sir John looked up and rose. "Hullo! Here comes Lucy and young Parry. They look agitated, I hope noâ€" thing serious has happened." â€" Peter jumped to his feet, and one glance at the couple approaching the table told him that something very serious indeed was amiss, Lucy was pale.. Terence looked stern and his Jaw was tight. Lucy saw Peter, and her blue eyes widened. "Peterâ€"â€"" * "I asked Mr. Crosby to join me," said Sir John. "He‘s going to move in here, and become ona of our party. Have you two met?" He briefly introâ€" duced the men. His keen eyes were on Parry. "What‘s up, Terence? You look as if you‘d seen a ghost." Terence Parry nodded to Peter. It was a prefunctory gesture. His brown eyes were wary.. He said: "Something rather unpleasant has happened. We found a dead man on the beach. He‘d peen murdered." "Murdered!" Sir John looked blank. "You meanâ€"not anyone we know?" Lucy shuddered. "That tmhan who‘s staying here in the hotel. The mysâ€" terious one. The man they call the mysterious Mr. Monte." Peter stiffened. He hoped no one was watching him too clsely. He felt the skin on the nape of his neck crawl, and his fists tightened. Mr. Monteâ€" ' Sir John ejaculated. "Monte!" he said harshly. Then: "Hereâ€"sit down, and tell us all about it." "We were walking along the beach," said Terence Parry. "He was sitting under one of these big sun umbrellas. I went across to speak to him. When I touched him, he fell over. There was a knife in his back. He‘d been dead for some time." "You‘ve notified the police?" "They‘re down there now." Sir John leaned forward and patted his daughters hand. "Must have been a shock to you, my dear," he said kindly. He turned to Peter, and the young man braced himself. "Nothing for us to worry about. I don‘t suppose you knew the fellow? One of these rough diamonds. He‘d been staying here quite a while, chuckâ€" ing money about. ‘There was someâ€" thing odd about him. Didn‘t fit inâ€" you know. I expect there‘ll be reveâ€" lations at the inquest." He wondered if he were putting rope round his neck. He had comâ€" mitted himself now. But while the others were talking he had been visualâ€" ising the Who would beâ€" lieve his story, now that Mr. Monte had been murdered? Who would beâ€" lieve that a perfect stranger had placed the means of making a fortune in his hands? .Better explain his sudden wealth as best as he could. "No," said Peter. â€" His voice wWas steady, he was surprised to find. "I didn‘t know him." | After all, he and Monte had been strangers. They had met only once. There was no link to connect them. and he had made that money by means of a perfectly legitimate stock exchange deal. Why shouldn‘t it have been just a lucky flutter? Many people did itâ€" and sometimes if came off. Then he stiffened. What aâ€"fool he was! Less than an hour ago he had asked the desk clerk about Mr. Monte. The man would be sure to remember. The room had begun to fill up. Peoâ€" pe were talking in agitated whispers, and some of them were lookingâ€"in the direction of their table. Sir John lookâ€" ed round with a frown. "It‘s got out already. They‘re disâ€" cussing it. And of course they‘ve ferâ€" reted out who discovered the body. I think we‘d better move. I‘ll have the meal sent up to my suite."

Smith, Lincoln, Nebraska. It is a phonographic method of recordâ€" ing and so preserving the sounds of the heart. Dr. Smith has had the instruâ€" ments in constant use in his office for some time to enlarge heart sounds, diagnose various changes in the heart velves, disturbances of rhythm, and to recognize gallops, spit and reduplicated heart sounds. Heart sounds, murmurs, disturbances of rhythm have been reâ€" crded and used for comparison with the condition of the patient in various later periods. These records can be reproduced on any phonograph. While this instrument will be of help to physicians and teachers, it should be particularly helpful to students, beâ€" cause : the students can be supplied with heart records(with proper desâ€" criptions therecn) and in the privacy of his own room, without interference of teacher or patient, he can listen to the heary cocunds until he is entirely familiar with them, not from any disâ€" cription of heart sounds, but from the evidence of his own ears. "When the student becomes familiar with the recorded heart ‘sounds and next with the heart sounds broadcast from the patient, he is really prepared to listen to the heart from which these sounds come." ‘This is certainly an improvement over former days when the students hurried their examination of the paâ€" tient to prevent overtiring him, and took the teacher‘s word for what the sounds were like, rather than what he thought he heard himself.
