Unlike most "stories" that are allowed to die out after a few days of sensational play, there was an ment, of the sin- jster, a touch of the mysterious, in this one that kept the city keyed up to a pitch of high excitement. It struck at a time when local news was dead and for that reason the city | editors welcomed it. And sensation followed sensation. O'Day had hinted vaguely to Jimmy of having something else up his sleeve 10 "give to the papers." And Jimmy was not kept long in ignorance. When it did break it swept him off his feet and sent him down to see ('- Day with blood in his eye raging and full of fight. 0'Day had told the reporters about the yellow stub and the handkerchief that had oeen found in the room with Henry Rand's bedy. Furthermore, he bad told them that they had been traced to Olga Mayn. rd and that, al- though her explanation had been sat- jsfactory enough, still she had figured theretofore as an important cog in the chain of evidence that had lengthened since Henry Rand's murder. He felt sure, he told them, that Olga Maynard's strange disappearance was somehow linked up with the murder. And the whole city buzzed and gos- giped over the strange mystery of the yellow stub. The murder of Henry Rand, clthough it had happened in a distant town, was suddenly brought home to Buffalo. Street corner idlers hazarded strange guesses as to the motive that prompted Henry Rand's murder. Busy captains of industry summoned office boys to run out ard * grab the latest additions. Steno- graphers discussed it over their lunch, and housewives over the back fence. It supplied trolley car conversation for homegoing bookkeepers and me- chanics. "You shouldf't have done it," Jim- (mY stormed at O'Day. "It wasn't ' right. It wasn't fair to her. It's not {air to me to drag this out again." O'Day tried to be patient. "You don't understand, my boy. If you think this is going to turn the town against Olga Maynard you are mine," said Jimmy bitterly.

Do you see this picture?" He held it out in front of Jimmy's eyes. "Look at it an' tell me whether you recognize it." Jimmy's forehead, as he studicc the picture, puckeied in a worried frown. Vague premonition held him "]--I--QDay, it can't be--" "It is, Aad, it is. It's a picture of your father, Henry Rand, taken when he was a boy of about fifteen. At least, that's the way I remember him." again. | His time could hardly be called his own. Roporters were in almost con- stant attendance and Mrs. King, his landlady, had told them that her roomer, Mr. Rand, "and a gentleman if ever there was one," had been shot at one night, "Right in his room, mind you." This made him something of a hero. He was conscio: s of stares as he walk- ed through the streets and he over- heard people point him out as he pass- ed. . . He even began to get mash notes, on scented paper of varied hues. But O'Day appareatly had been right about one thing. There was no further attempt to molest him, and there were no more mysterious tele- phone calls or warning letters, "I told you so," O'Day said. "The publicity's driven them to cover." * * * * Barry Colvin arrived the next day, resolved, he told Jimmy, to stick the thing out with him. "And what's this about Olga May- nard being kidnapped?" he asked. "The papers back home have been full of it. My boy, you're famous. Your mug has been splashed. all over the papers, and your face is better known than Rudy Valentino's." He grinned. "If I had all that pub- licity I'd certainly make the law busi- ness pay and pay heavy." He told Jimmy: "Mooney's in New York. He's found out this much, at least--that Marie Real's stage name was Marie Rellane. Of course, every- body's heard of Marie Rellane. I'd no idea the lady was such a star." "Lord! She was the toast of the country when I was a little kid," said Jimmy. "But Mooney says she's dropped out of sight, at least temporarily. He's hopeful, though, of locating her soon. "Barry, if this thing isn't cleared up soon, I'll go mad." "Buck up, Jim. I'm going to be with you. Maybe I can help. Tell me, what do you think they've done to Olga Maynard?" "Oh, T don't know. "0'Day's got a crazy idea--" He told Barry about the finding of Henry Rand's icture and what O'Day thought of it. "You were a fool, Jim, for trusting that woman." He turned savagely on Barry, but the words words that were in his mind never escaped his lips. Instead he bowed his head. "Maybe 1 am, It would have been better, for her at "Where--where did you get this?" Jimmy asked feebly. "1'11 tell you where I got it. 1 found it the other night in Olga Maynard's apartment," He paused to watch the effect. of his words. J:mmy was shocked speechless. He managed to gulp, "In Olga Maynard's apartment? This?" Feebly, he point- ed at it with his finger. "That's what I said. I was browsin' through the lace an' I found this on the mantel piece, I didn't recognize it at first, but something was familier about it an' 1 stood there an' studied it an' suddenly it came to me like a flash.

"But what in the world do you make of it?" And O'Day said slowly. "Just this," and he seemed to measure each word as he uttered it. "That girl, Jim, has been holdin' back something from us.

He sat and gazed enviously at Barry's comfortable, resting figure, heard with irritation his slight snore. . . . . And the thought of the picture they had found in Olga's room rose to tor- ture him through half the night. (To be continued.) 3 | Woman and the Typewriter F. E.

It has been decided to take a space of 200 feet frontage in the Exhibition building in order to give the thousands of visitors an idea of the agricultural activities of Que- bec.

They are sides in. their plane. Suddenly one the Chimene attacks Captain Jimmy, For a moment I was paralysed.' My fierce attacker raised his weapon to strike. Then before I could move, a thin spare form hurled itself at my assailant, careless ot the danger- ous knife point. It was one of the three men we had rescued from the tree on the day before. 1 held my breath, amaz- ed that the timid, shrinking Chinese shoald display such nerve. Spring- ing to help him, I hit the big fellow on the chin with all my strength. By this time the plane was in a spin, and we were 80 near the ground that there was no way but to land. 1 had lost all sense of direction for the moment, and had no way of telling whether we were over-enemy territory or not. Scarcely had the wheels stopped rolling before an excited Chinese sentry showed up and challenged us. "Ask him where we are?" I direct- ed the interpreter. "Him say much bad Chinese bloy ~--him belong enemy!" "Tell him I belong enemy, too." I said, "He say, you clazy--you 'make muchee noise--wakee Colonel--getee velly mad--shootee bang--all done." By which I gathered we were in the enemy camp, that the Colonel would hear the plane, get mad at be- ing disturbed, and have us shot. Not a very encouraging prospect. Then a Chinese sergeant and a squad of soldiers appeared out of the inky darkness. When he saw 'the three deserters from his camp he raised a terrible rumpus, First he accused us of stealing his men, then after a long pow-wow with the three, they evidently convinced him that they had been taken prisoner, and we had helped them to escape. Anyway he took them back--and probably they were far better off in their own army than among the enemy. So much for the three captives, but our own position was extremely a done quichly, or soon we would all be marched to headquarters. "Tell the sergeant that I brought this plane to give General Ming." I sald. "Tell him to march two soldiers ahead and keep the road clear." Then I turned the searchlight on and taxied along the road behind the two soldlers. After a few min- utes: the road straightened out for a stretch of a quarter of a mile or so. Now was our chance! In an instant I sna e searchlight and opened the throttle full. With a roar the plane fairly leaped forward and rushed down the road on the two soldiers who fled in panie.

Gas was running low, however, so we headed back for our own lines, with the help of our searchlight we picked out a railway line.

Of course, people do come to the museums--as figures show, the big and famous institutions of this kind are popular places of pilgrimage.

NE | Officials Encourage Move ~ Berlin.--The war gardens of 1918, which appeared in every vacant lot on the North American continent and disappeared as rapidly as they came, have become a permanen thing in Germany. Over a tenth of the population are estimated to have one of these little plots of ground. For miles around the sprawling city of Berlin can be seen thousands of little houses, "big enough for two cats to dance in," each set in the middle of a vegetable or flowar gar- den of some 800 square yards in area. : In all there are 1,500,000 such gar- den plots on the "outskirts of Ger many's cities. Over practically every hut or tiny house waves a flag. The houses themselves are often painted in fantastic patterns, and the own ers let loose all their repressed yearn ings for violent reds, blues and pur- ples. From April to October one is per- mitted to live in these little garden houses. The unemnloyed in particu- lar have taken advantage of this permission and, where the land is good, by intensive cultivation they are able to grow a part of their food. The '"folks' gardens," however, exist chiefly to give the city work man a chance to play farmer. Of- ten only flowers are planted. Not seldom all the planting is teft to mother and the "farmer" "throws horseshoes or sleeps in the hammock. It is the custom of workingmen in the larger cities to spend Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday in the country on their land. "In the coun- try" may very well mean nothing more than the big field over behind the gas works. Saturday and Sun- day nights the whole family sleeps in its little house. In ths evening the young people get together a col lection of planks and build a dance floor. In almost every garden house belonging to a workman with a re- gular job a portable phonograph is available. Until the last two years the "folks' gardens" were the scenes of one festival after another, but today only. the harvest festival is celebrated. The present strength of the lit tle gardeners is due largely to their co-operative associations, The Ger- man League of the Small Garden- ers has 420,000 members. The Ber- lin League has 7,000 members. These leagues have had the building tax removed from garden houses. They furnish supervised playgrounds where the children can enjoy themselves witout trampling all over the fame ily radishes. They build drains, give courses in gardening, issue the thirty-eight gardeners' magazines over which their members can philo- sophize to the content of their Ger- man hearts over the joys of rural life. They reduce to a minimum the grafting of the city officials. The yearly rent for the average garden is $2. The first cost of put ting the land in condition and build- ing a very simple house with a tiny veranda is $150 or $200. This lat- ter sum is of course prohibitive for the unemployed, so that only those who were fortunate enough to have been able to get a garden during the better times in 1926 or 1927 are able to live now, practically rent free, in {heir garden houses during the Sum- mer. i eA mo .
