While Jimmy is in Buffalo trying to run down the mur- derer, he meets Mary Lowell.

Jimmy and Detective Mooney left Fogarty climbed into a taxicab, gave the driver the address Fogarty had own them and settled back on the ther cushions. "Well, Rand, our job's pretty near done. I knew that handkerchief meant something!" "Mooney," said Jimmy. "Do you think this woman killed my father? 1 don't." Mooney patted him on the arm. "I know how you feel, Rand. You just tan't square yourself with the fact that there was a woman mixed up in it. You know your father wasn't that kind. Isn't that it." Rand nodded. "Well, you'll probably get more than one jolt out of this before you're through. You can't get away from the fact that this Maynard woman was mixed up in the murder. Fogarty gives her his theatre ticket. She says she's leaving the next day for Grafton. They find the ticket stub in the room --and a woman's handkerchief, "Mind, I'm not sayin' she commit- ted the murder. But she was in the room. hSe knows who did it... .. Well, here we are. I'll pile out and see if she lives here." The cab had stopped. Mooney sprang out and ran into an apartment building; . . . In a few minutes he was back. He ;avs the driver an ad- dress and climbed into the taxi. "Just as I thought," he commented. "Doesn't live there any more. Moved away two weeks ago. The janitor gave me her forwarding address." The cab stopped again. This time Jimmy jumped out with Mooney. They found themselves on the porch of a rooming house. "Quite a come- down from that apartment," observed Mooney. "Probably found it hard to keep up with the rent, being out of a job." He rang the bell. "The landlady will like this," he said. It's after midnight." A window opened on .he second floor. . . . Jimmy ard the dgtective were down off the porch. A woman's head thrust itse.f out of the window. "Lady live here by the name of Olga Maynard?" called Mooney, "No. She moved out a week ago." "Say where she was goin'?" "She said she was leaving town." The window closed with a bang. » ». »- " The night yielded them nothing more. They went back to Fogarty's room, where that worthy furnished them with a description of Olga May- nard. "Nothing more that I can do here,» Mooney said to Jimmy later. "I'm taking the train tomorrow back to Grafton and see if I can run down the Maynard woman there. Before I go I'll report to the chief f police here and leave the handkerchief and ticket with him. And here's a card of introduction to the chief in case you run into a jam while you're here. You're staying, I take it?" "I'm seeing it through, Mooney." . - . - The next morning Jimmy «alled at the offices of the Q. »nd R. Railroad. "You see," he said to Mary Lowell, "It didn't take re long to take advan- tage of your offe.. I can use that job ~--if there's one here." Sh. seemed pleased to see him. "I'm glad you did, Mr. Rand. 1 spoke a gu to Mr. Hilton--he's the chief clerk--and he said to show you in if you came." Mr, Milton thought there was some- thing he could do. "You came pretty toward Mary and smiling. She blushed and started typing for- iously. "How much education have you had?" asked the chief clerk. "Two years of college. 1 didn't graduate. I enlisted during the war, and when it was over 1 didn't go back to school." "What branch?" "Air service." : "] see." Hilton surveyed the tall figure for a moment, then--"I think 111 take you on, Rand. Twenty-five a week is all 1 can give you to start. When can you begin?" "I'm ready to take my coat off right now, Mr. Hilton." » . . ». The passing days brought no word from Mooney, nor did they bring Rand any success in his search for Olga Maynard. Jimmy was a frequent visitor at police headquarters, where he had been referred by the chief to Lieutenant O'Day, a gruff old war horse whom Jimmy, nevertheless, liked instantly. . .. He saw much of Mary. They had even met outside one day during lunch hour--quite accidentally--and had eaten together, she insisting on paying her own check. He asked her to let him call. He had been trying for days to summon enough courage to ask her, and when he did he cursed himself for his schoolboy shyness and stammering. "Why certainly," she said warmly, and made him sorry he hadn't asked her before. Her mother was a widow. Her chief complaint against life, he found when he called, was the fact that Mary had to work. The Lowells, he gathered from her conversation, had once "amounted to something." "Mother does live so much in the past," Mary confided to Jimmy later. "When father was living we never thought about money. There seemed to be plenty of it. He died suddenly, and his affairs were not in the best of shape. What little money was left after things had been settled vas soon gone. It was necessary for me to leave school. Mother thinks it per- fectly dreadful to huve to depend on me for support. . . . I rather like it myself. I'm perfectly thrilled about my work." Jimmy got the impresion of hostil- ity on the part of Mrs. Lowell. He felt somehow that she hoped Mary would marry well--someone with a lot of money. . . . He felt uncomfortable in her presence. A few nights later he took Mary to the theatre. "Don't Jet's go home just yet," he suggested afterward. Being alone with her had made him unaccountably gay. "I feel like dissipating. What do you say if we go some place and get a bite to eat, and dance?" "Lovely," she agreed. "We'll go to the Cafe Madrid. The music there is wonderful." They found the Madrid filled with a noisy crowd; they were lucky to get a table. 4 "You were right about the music," he declared when they were on the floor. . . . His arm was around her waist--he was breathing the frag- rance of her aair. . . . He thrilled. She seemed instinctively to antici- pate every move he made-- --every suggestion of a step. He clamored vainly for an encore when the orchestra stopped playing. "You seem as clever at dancing as you are at rescuing young ladies," she bantered when they were back at their table. "Lady," he said, "the young man is speechless. 1 have been trying for two minutes to think of words to de- scribe something--and there arent any such words. . . . You dance like a--like a breath. There--that's as close as I can come." She laughed, and impulsively reach- ed over and placed her hand on his-- then immediately drew away in con- fusion. She blushed. "Mr. Rand," she said, "you--" "Not Mr. Rand," he interrupted, "Jimmy. I've already decided to call you Mary. ly, you know. 'Why not now? "I don't think Jimmy suits you," she said. "It's so--so diminutive. I think Jim fits you better. You're too big to be called Jimmy; it's too boyish. 1 was thinking, though, of what you said that night about hoping you wouldn't have to stay in Buffalo. You've never told me what brought well recommended,' he added, turning - 4 Henry Ford, auto magnate, making friends with some children during recent dedication of Girls' Friendly Society camp at Pine Lake, Mich.

Presiding recent- . ly at the meeting of the Society of Baked Hash One cup cold ham or beef, 1 cup, | Chemical industry, Dr. Levinstein, the pr- "lent, revealed how Science may accomplish in a matter of hours the processes for which Nature requires thousands upon thousands of years. The air contains inexhaustible sup- plies of carbonic acid. We already extract from the air nitrogen, which is the raw material of many great in- dustries. Some day we shall obtain carbonic acid in the same way. Already a wonderful means of speed- ing up Nature's methods has been found. Carbonic acid has been con- verted into methane, or coal gas, with- out the intervention of plant life. Coal gas can be completely converted into acetylene, which in is turn can be made to yield a tar containing about fifty per cent. of benzine. Thus our descendants may seek upwards into the air for their fuel, and for a large part of their raw materials, instead of burrowing for them into the ground as we do. To vary an old saying, man cannot live on air alone, but it is likely that the future may prove this false. The food of our descendants may actually be drawn from the air to a very great extent. To-day we live, though you may not believe it, mainly upon grass and other plants. Wheat extracts from the air and from the soil the sub- stances required to build and maintain bodies. Grass does the same, and is converted by the animals which eat it into a stronger form of food, which we consume as meat, Dining On Synthetic Beef The world to-day has a population of over two thousand millions, and at the present rate of increase this may be doubled in about seventy years, The time must come when all the land available for forestry and agriculture is Insufficient to producv the food needed. But before that we may have seen the fulfilment of Lord Melchett's prophecy, that some day Britons would dine on succulent joints of synthetic roast beef. a Earth, air, fire, and water, the four 1 ts of the ents, contain all the raw materials for our industries and for our livelihood. Science has al- ready pried ajar the door of Nature's laboratory. As the years go by she Put butter, milk and salt; stir in eggs, well beaten; turn into baking dish and bake 20 minutes. Caracas Eggs Shred 2 ounces of dried beef quite fine. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in skillet, then crisp and browa the dried beef in"the hot butter. Add to this 3% pound (grated) cheese, 1 cup to- matoes and 1 teaspoon chile powder. Let simmer, then stir in 3 beaten eggs. Cook only until eggs set, something like scrambled eggs. Serve very hot. This makes an excellent luncheon dish.

Wipe the beef with a damp cloth; dredge with flour, brown in the fat from frying salt pork. Place in a large kettle, surrounded with vege- tables and add three cups boiling wa- ter. Cover and cook in a slow oven three hours (a pressure cooker re- quires about one-third as long), bast ing every 30 minutes. Turn meat twice during the cooking period. Do not pierce with fork =1en handling, as this allows the juice to escape.

Lupus--that 1s, tuberculosis of the 'skin--and tubercular adentis, which are very slow in yielding to any other t, have r ded sur- prisingly to artificial light, and in al. most every case either complete. quiescence of the disease or marked improvement has been observed. The first steps in the new treat-- ment were taken in 1925, when the. County Council authorized the estab- lishment of two experimental light in- stallations--at Ashton-undér-Lyne and at Lancaster, During 1927 a centre at. Chorley was added, and now there are no fewer than twelve dispensaries at which' light treatment can bé obtain. ed--Lancaster, Chorley, Preston, Nel. son, Stacksteads, Ashton, Radeliffe, Eccles, St. Helens, Wigan, Ulverston, and Fleetwood, The total number of patients treated in the course of last year was 842 of whom more than half were new cases, The lamps used for the treatment include long-flame carbon are lamps for general irradiation, Kromayer water-cooled mercury vapour lamps for local treatment, and mercury va- pour lamps of the Jesoniek or Han- ovia types for both purposes. The usual initial exposure of the patient to "Grade A carbons" is five minutes to the front of the body and five to the- back at a distance of three feet. Grad- ually the exposure is increased to fit teen minutes and the distance to two feet. The mercury vapour lamps for local treatment are applied at a dis- tance of from a quarter-inch to two inches. --- During the first two years of work ing the following results were obtain ed at the Ashton Dispensary, which is the largest so far established: -- 1. Lupus: Of 97 cases taking the treatment 44 were reported "quiescent and apparently cured." The rest were still undergoing treatment and were improving. 2, Adentis: Of 101 cases treated 77 were apparently cured. Twenty-three were still under treatment, and one case only was stationary. These are the most striking in- stances. In other forms of tubercular disease few cases were treated "and less satisfactory results obtained. It appears that artificial light treatment is unsuitable to cases in which the lungs are affected. In 1929 the number of cases under going treatment in all centres was 842, of whom 439 began treatment during the year. This high proportiun of new cases is not surprising; as the average duration of light treatment for cases recovering is nine months. Of this number 303 completed the treatment during th) year. Of these in 252 cases the diseare was "quiescen: ani _ap- parently cured;" in 34 tke condition of the patient was improved; only in 17 cases was no improvemeat noticed, Three-quarters of the patients at- tending centres were able to continue their normal occupation during treat- ment. The average cost of the treat- ment was $1.12 a head per week. It is estimated that $12,600 was saved by treating patients at the dispensary in- stead of in a hospital. r--------t ee. Bears Do Return to Winter Dens Proof, contrary t« the accepted view of naturalists, that bears sométimes return to the same dens they used during hibernation, is claimed by Frank Oberhansley, ranger-naturalist at Yellowstone National Park, in a statement published in a recent bulle- tin of the National Park Service. While taking a con.pany of visitors over the Mammoth Hot Springs trail, Mr. Oberhansley states, he noted a bear den. There had been a heavy rain the night before. Examining the ground around the entrance to the den, it was discovered there were fresh bear tracks going away from the den and tracks par- tially obliterated leading into the den. The tracks, apparently, were :hose of a mother and her two cubs, "This vould indic te," Mr. Ober- hansley says, "this Lear family had taken shelter in the den in which it. hibernated in the winter." It has also been proved, Mr. Ober- hansley says, that a mother bear with two cubs will go into hiberrat'on with them a second year. Upon the arrival, of more offspring, however, she will have nothing to do with her previous young. ee Doctor's Orders + She was shown into the doctor's of- fice, and he soon noticed that she 'was looking worried about som " "What is it, Mrs, Potts?" asked the "It's Fred, my hubby," returned the woman.
