if you seek the finest green tea this is it japak tea fresh from the gardens m red house mystery amilne lq2t 9 xkjuaa cdqpmy begin here iuj mere presence of mark in the room who had shot and killed tho neer-do- its my turn nw you wait that well hubert ablett within two minutes tint an immediate threat it was utter his arrival at tho ited house the l 7 vi t mirk had country estate of his wealthy bachelor a threat for the future it mars nau brother mark ablcttj ltoberfs body shot his brother immediately after was on the tloor of tho locked of dec mark was mlssinjr and in the opinion of inspector birch it was clear that mik who had looked forward to rob erts return from australia with annoy ance had shot him and disappeared hut there were mysterious circum stances the shot was lired a few mo ments before antony gllllngham gentle man adventurer and friend of bill bev erley one of marks guests had entered tho fall whero he found matt cayley marks constant companion pounding on tho door and demanding admittance the two men enter a room through a window and find the body antony and bill con tinue investigations and become con vinced that cayley knows something about the crime they discover a secret passage leading from tho red house to the bowling green and then antony ques tions the maid elsie who overheard mark speaking to robert in tho office go on with the story chapter x contd it was you who heard mr mark yesterday wasnt it antony asked the maid yes sir its my turn now you wait murmured antony to himself yes sir nastylike meaning to say his chance had come i wonder well thats what i heard sir truly antony looked at her thoughtfully and nodded yes i wonder i wonder why why what sir oh lots of things elsie he had found his pipe and went downstairs again antony was glad to have spoken to her because he had recognized at once the immense importance of her evidence to the inspector no doubt it had seemed nly of importance in that it had shown mark to have adopted something of a threatening attitude toward his brother to an tony it had much more significance it was the only trustworthy evidence hof fiiv kh hppn in the office at all that afternoon for who saw mark go into the office only cayley and if cayley had been hiding tho truth about the keys why should he not be hiding tho truth about marks entry into the offce obviously all cayleys cvi dence went for nothing some of it no doubt was true but ho was giving it both truth and falsehood with a pur pose what the purpose was antony- did not know as yet to shield mark to shield himself even to betray mark it might be any of these elsies evidence however seemed to settle the point mark had gone into tho office to see his brother elsie had heard them both talking and then antony and cayley had found the body of robert and the inspector was going to drag the pond but certainly elsies evidence did not prove anything more than the scholes hotel 40c supper a specialty yonce st opposite eatons hotel rates 1 per day and up ward it must have been an accident the result of a straggle say provok ed by that nastylike tone of voice nobody would say you wail to n man who was just going to be sht you wait meant you wait and see whats going to happen to you later on the conversation elsie had over heard couldnt have meant murder anyway not murder of robert by maik its a funny business thought anfny the one obvious solution is so easy and yet so wrong he found bill in the hal and pro posed a stroll bill was only too ready where do you want to go he asked i dont mind much show me the park righto they walked out together watson old man said antony as soon as they were away from the house you really mustnt talk so loudly indoors there was a gentle man outside just behind yon all the time oh i say said bill going pink im awfully sorry so thats why you were talking such rot partly yes and partly because i do feel rather bright this morning were going to have a busy day aro we reallv what are we going to do theyre going to drag the pond beg its pardon the lake were on the way to it now if youd like to see it what are they dragging it for mark oh rot said bill uneasily he was silent for a little and then eagerly i say when are wc going to look for that passage we cant do very much while cay leys in tho house what about this afternoon when theyre dragging the pond hes sure to be there antony shook his head theres something i must do this afternoon he said of course we might have time for both has cayley got to bo out of the house for the other thing too well i think he ought to be i say is it anything rather excit ing i dont know it might be rather interesting i daresay i could do it at some other time but i rather fancy it at 3 oclock somehow ive been specially keeping it back for then they had come to the pond marks lake and they walked silently round it when they had made the circle antony sat down on the grass and relit his pipe bill followed his ex ample well mark isnt there said an tony no said bill at least i dont quite see why you know he isnt it isnt knowing its guessing i said antony rapidly its much easier to shoot yourself than to drown yourself and if mark had wanted to shoot himself in the water with some j idea of not letting the body be found hed have put big stones in his pock- cts and the only big stones aw- near the waters edge and they would have left marks and they havent and therefore he didnt and oh bother the pond that can wait till this after- noon bill where does the secret pas- sago begin well thats what weve got to find out isnt it yes you sec my idea is this he explained his reasons for think ing that the secret of the passage was concerned in some way with tho secret of roberts death and went on i my theory is that mark discovered the passage about a year ago the time when he began to get keen on croquet well then when miss nor- ris was going to dressup cayley gave it away probably he told her that she could never get down to the bowl ing green without being discovered and then perhaps showed that he knew there was ono way in which she could do it and she wormed the secret out of him somehow but this was two or three days beforo robert turned up exactly i am not suggesting that there was anything sinister about the pasage in the first place it was just a little private bit of romance and adventure for mark three days ago he didnt even know that rob ert was coming but somehow the pas sage has been used since in connec tion with robert perhaps mark escaped that way perhaps hes hiding there now and if so then the only person who could give him away was miss norris and she of course would only do it inoccntly not knowing that the passage had anything to do with it so it was safer to have her lit of tho way yes but look here tony why do you want to bother about this end of it makeyourown and save money ah you need is waste fats and giixetts pure i vc flake lot el full

find it at all you mean that we shant have time neither time nor opportunity which is rather a consoling thought to a lay person like me you can wash out the kitchen and all that part of the house said bill after some thought we cant go there no what we want to consider is which is tho most likely place of the few places in which we can look safe ly tho library for choice bill got up eagerly come along he said lets try the library if cayley comes in wc can always pretend were choosing a book antony got up slowly took his arm and walked back to the house with him the library was worth going into passages or no passages antony could never resist another persons bookshelves as soon as he went into the room he found himself wandering round to see what books tho owner read or more likely did not read but kept for the air which they lent lo the house mark had prided him self on his library it was a mixed collection of hooks old editions new- editions expensive books cheap books a library in which everybody what ever his taste could be sure of finding something to suit him and which is your particular fancy bill said antony looking from one shelf to another or are you always

is not far off writes roger w babson in the march hsue of the forum in giving a blueprint of the future use of airplanes mr babson assumes the development of a helicopter which will enable a plane to rise straight ly hover at a given spt make a slow vertical descent and possibly per form as a parachute when the power is cut off this will be the master key says mr babson other key inventions may be as follows the plane3 or blades can be folded up as a grass hopper folds its wings a pontoon construction will permit landing and locomotion on wtter or on snow the landing wheels may be power driven so that tho machine can be operated on the road like an automobile for example after lying to a city it will bo possible to land outside its limits and then use- the plane as an automo bile fundamentally this is the fliv ver airplane which i visualize grant ing the possibility of such a design we can freseo an industry of giant sie moreover it will have profound effects upon human life equal to or even greater than the vast changes which can be traced to the automobile industry some houses will have roof gar ages reached by automatic electric elevators once discovered the rom may be utilized for other purposes in addition to that of garage long rows of apartment houses have a roof area that can well be smoothed and generally redesigned to form a land ing field in our big cities there are millions of square feet of roof area that are now an economic waste wc complain about lack of room but there is still room at the top these changes however seem trifling in comparison with other tre mendous readjustments in living con- tions resulting from the flivver air plane we get a glimpse of these pos sibilities by observing what ihe nuto- mobilo has accomplished the auto mobile has created the suburbs the airplnea will create the countryside people who used to live in thc city now live ten mile out in the suburbs people who now live in the suburbs will live fifty miles out in the coun tryside if these anticipations are real ized continues mr babson a mam moth and varied volume of construc tion is on thc horizon the conquest of the skies will result in rebuilding the face of the earth for example poles and wires will be recognized as obstructions and they will be removed and placed underground on the same jrinciple on which we are spending millions to make our roads more clear and straight towering smoke stacks will be replaced by powerdraught systems the campaign for smoke prevention will gather new force in the northern regions snow removal from highways will be extended while it is true that the plane in flight is indifferent to impassable roads nevertheless tho piano on land will want to taxi about and will insist on adequate facilities plane
