On examination, 'the neck wound proves to be a bite from a poisonous snake, On his side Bloom told Foster that he had kept a slide of his blood, and. less bewildered at this new develop- ment, "Well, doctor, she wouldn't say a word, but wanted to be alone, so I left her. I had a small errand to go down to Surbiton and I went off-- some needlework I was doing--and when I came back she was gone." "Without a word?" "Without so much as from her maid." THE MAN IN THE PALM GARDEN "Tell me, Mrs. Gibbs, did you see what Miss Barron did with the let- ter she received?" asked Foster, "No, but her room hasn't been a message Who was the man who had writ. ten this letter? It was not Hughes, for Foster knew his writing, The, Viceroy Hotel was in the Strand, a large, medium-priced popular and busy. The last partecf the final word did not mystify him much, Someone had prevailed on her, had begged her, to come so that she might get news of her father's death. The "ther" was part of the word "father." It was obvious, Foster took the pieces of paper to Murs. Gibbs, similar to the envelope which Maud had received, but she could not iden- tify the writing, "Very well," he said. "I'm going." "Where?" "To the Viceroy Hotel." He went there as fast as trains could take him, At the reception counter he was told that they had a Mr, Barron stay- ing there; then they discovered that they had a Miss Barron also. Foster described her. Yes, that was the lady; but she was not in. The key of her room was in the rack, which showed she was not in the hotel. Fos- ter said he would return, He crossed the road and walked up and down the pavement, his eyes constantly on the door. -- To be continued, Suit Your Type Select Becoming Colors -- Plenty To Choose From What color will you choose for your new outfit?

Ie has written a powerful life of Napol. Leon and many other hiographies of the leading political and military glants of IKurope -- among the last of these Is "Hitler and Hindenburg" As an example of Ludwig's style and his presentation of the man Hindenburg, as compared with Hitler, the follow. Ing portrayal is illuminating: "Here was a man of mighty frame, who for seventy years had been ac. customed to wear uniform, confront. ed by an uneasy fellow (Hitler) who had come to wear uniform only through the chances of War, and had gpeedily relinquished it; a man whom nothing fitted, not even the brown shirt that had been his own inven. tion, whereas old Hindenburg had de- voted whole days of his life to the Graphic Portrait - Cd Sra re Eat 3 ~ SRE ¢ Sh i Ho gal EE 2 py ----- 2 hon ¥ Se RI ns rn Oe ay Ee TAN ad Tat .

He wondered what had been done 'with his- suitcase which had fallen on the road when he was attacked, and he came to the conclusion that he would 'never see it again. When he reached London, he went . 16 his rooms to get another case and change of clothing, -for the suit he wore was much the worse for the treatment it had received. Then he rushed te Waterloo and caught a fast train to Surbiton. s ; As he journeyed out to Shirley he tried to form a plan of campaign. Ought he to go straight for Hughes and accuse him of the attack on the road? There was the matter of Elsie Monteith. His jaw became firm as he thought of het A cold fuss ~unsum- ed him, It was she who had betrayed him into the hands of these men. There was no doubt of it. He had heard her voice on that road. He had heard Hughes's voice. He had felt Hughes's hands upon his neck. Yes, they were the hands of Hughes. How could he prove it? Well, he could demand an explanation. If slie admitted it--there was then some- thing to be done as well as said. He arrived at Shirley and was hanging up his hat when down the stairs came Mrs. Gibbs, all flustered and in a state of high excitement. "It's about Maud!" she cried, wringing her hands. "She isn't here. She's-been missing since the very day you went off, doctor!". .. Foster dropped his case thud. : "Missing!" © "It was after you left," eried Mrs. Gibbs, handkerchief cut and crushed into a ball in her hand, while her face worked excitedly. It was just after you left. A letter arrived for her by special delivery. I gave it to her my- with a self. She was in her room and I came downstairs for something or dther, When I got back she was standing by the window, stiff and érect, with her face like the face of a ghost. I asked her what was the matter and she didn't answer me. And she just stedd there and look- ed out of the window." "Well, go on," cried I'oster. But rMs. Gibbs was almost in hy- sterics. She had bottled up all"Her fears and now that there was an op- portunity of unbyrdening herself, the reaction was setting in, She wrung her hands incessantly, - ; "Don't excite yourself, Mrs. Gibbs. Tell me as quickly _as you can Yhough," He himself was feeling more or you find her? She relies on you. And so do I." " Bo "Mrs. Gibbs, we have got to start work right away. It is evidently something very urgent and very ne- cessary that took her away. But it locks--there was the wire to me and there is this letter to her. And the dead dog." He smote his palm with® his fist, grinding his teeth. "I'll find her if she is to be found," he cried. "Give me the key to her room. If she has left: a trail I can follow it, I promise you thal." He went through of it was the formal kind, much of it relating to the management of the house, He stood. up, defeated, and said to Mrs. Gibbs. "Please ring for her maid." The 'maid came and 'was question- ed. Had anything at all been remov- ed from the boudoir, had she seen Miss Barron with a letter, had she seerf what was done with it? No, no, no, were the answers. Foster's eye fell on a neat, gold coloured waste paper baskt. When was that eniptied? -The maid declar- ed that she had emptied it only thal morning; she had taken it down to the kitchen and thrown the contents into the box usually kept for the fire- wood. : : "Bring that box here at once." It was brought. He took it to his own room and began a very labor- ious task. It took him over an hour to sort out every scrap, but he did it methodically, laying all of the same kind in litle heaps. After that he picked out those scraps that seemed parts of letters received or sent. He pieced them all together so far as: they would go. All at once he utter- ed a cry. In his hand was a piece of paper at which he stared intently. He searched for another like it, and then for another, He recse and took them to the small table by the window and laid them out, flattening them with his fingers. He went back and got aonther, the tiniest piece of all. It fitted in. _ This is what he read, In a small masculine hand that showed culture! and business training: . oria, London.

This is very sound, as there are certain shades that can absolutely overshadow your own coloring. Women can be broadly divided into four types. Those with soft, rather delicate, coloring, the florid, the dark complexioned, and those whose color- ing is indefinite. The fair complexioned (by this blondes alone are not referred to, but also the fair skinned brunettes), the fairness of their skin subdues color to a certain extent. Green, blue her red, blue, crange for darker sister, The swarthy type can wear green, shades of brown and orange to good effect. Those with florid coloring should select the rich, subdued tones of the berry shades, but they will find that black or navy will do more to help them to soften their super- fluous coloring than anything else. Color, to give a touch of relief, form of collar and scarf or waist belt. As to the *in-between" type, who ate neither dark nor fair, select bright cuffs, shades, You can wear shades that are colorful without being too bril- liant.

She would not tell how long she had been lying in her home with an injured leg. Neighbors said that they notified police when she failed to be seen for several days.

The investigating committee sent a set of papers to examiners who had marked the identical papers a year before and this time the marks were quite different. Similarly when answ. ers were submitted to seven different groups of examiners there was a var- Jdance in the results that was amaz- ing. Finally two squads of examiners, some of them in the Civil Service, were called upon to test 20 candid- ates hy the viva voce method and to place them in order of merit, and it was discovered that the pupil who was marked first by No 1 panel was put in thirteenth place by the other panel and the first place student sel. ected by the second panel was only rated elevouth by the first, So much emphasis ig placed on the fmportance of examinations bofh dur. ing school years and afterward that the publishing of these findings has caused somewhat of a sensation in England and already steps have been taken fmprove the system. At the same timy another, very progressive move has Neen undertaken in the de- cision tg abplish the matriculation ex. aminations, lexcept in the case of pu. pils who intend to enter the univergi. ties, and to substitute a leaving cer tificate, showing the student to have completed hig secondary education, These are developments that should be of more than passing interest to educators in our own country. Is our system of examinations any more ac- curate than that followed In England, and "fsn't it about time that we too got away from the fetish of matricu- playing an important part in improv. This does not mean that good ad- vice should not be heeded. 1t is a questibn of attitude. If you assume that you have to be told how to do things--you-want to do, if you are at a loss until somebody comes along to act as a sign-post, pointing the way for you to take, then chances are poor. There cannot be any great degree of successs for a leaner. Self reflance is one of the indispensable qualities. Ask advice if you are in doubt, take advice if you feel it is better than what you had thought out for yourself, but do not feel that you are helpless without an adviser.
