"I‘ve quite realâ€" lized the game‘s up, and I‘m particuâ€" larly anxious that my friend Miss Ferrâ€" ier and Mr. Smith should be cleared from all suspicion of murder." "In the first place, Sir Hellard," beâ€" gan the prisoner, "I am a very wronged and embittered man. I am the son of Mr. Francis Young Galesbourne by his second: wife,, Maryâ€" Brownlese, who was a servant in his employment. Mr. Francis Galesbourne therefore had two children, myself and a son by his first wife, who afterwards the Rev. Charles Galesbourne."

The prisoner was brought in by a warder and sat at at: the ind of a long table He looked white and ill and was obviously sufferâ€" ing from the terrible nerve strain c€ the past few weeks. Sir Hallard began the conversation. "I see," nodded the chief. "But, beâ€" fore you begin, it‘s my duty to warn you that everything you say will be takâ€" en down and may be used as evidence against ycu at some future date. Perâ€" haps you‘d prefer to see a solicitor beâ€" fore making your statemént?" ° "No thank you, sir," said Galesbourne with a decided shake of his head. "I prefer to settle things up now." "Very well," agreed the commissionâ€" er. "We‘re all attention," and he signâ€" ed tc the constable with a note book in front of him, to take down all that followed. "I knew nothing of my father until I examined: some of mother‘s papers, and I can tell you it was a pretty ghastly shock." "I managed to scrape a good educaâ€" tion but had to fight for existence alâ€" one." He looked at the serious faces before him and cleared his throat before going on. f "Must have been," agreed the Comâ€" missioner sympathetically. "That started me ‘thinking, gentleâ€" men. I made a few enquiries and found that, compared to me, my brother was living in the lap of luxury; educated at Eton and Oxford, and amply provided for, while I was little better than a tramp. That made me sore, and I took an oath that I‘d get my proper share one day! With that idea firmly fixed in my brain it wasn‘t long before I managed to work my passage to Enâ€" gland and start hunting for my kind and generous father." "Was that before the war?" asked Carlingford. "Yes," said the prisoner. "I found the old man was dead, and that his other son,who was a few years my senâ€" ior, had entered the church and was a curate at St. Luke‘s . ... so I looked him up and told. him about myself Now here‘s the point, gentlemen; the vicar was a fanatic as well as a saint.

But 1 was determined to force justic» out of him! I‘m not going to mincs matters. I blackmailed him for every copper 1 mceould, and from that time on I lived a bit more like my rich father‘s son." ‘"Were you still in Londoun?" asked Hopton. "No," replied the sham padre."I was only to glad to get back to Australia, for Galesbourne wis too absorved in his parish work, and Smithâ€"who had teen my father‘s servant, and was now working for himâ€"was particularly nasty to me and did everthing in his power to make mischisf betwesn me and my brother." "Yes," agreed the prisoner. "He was a widower, with aâ€"daughter called Gertâ€" rude,: and she was the only dacent one on the lot as far as I was concerned. She was very good to me and eventually we fell in love with each other and got secretly married, much to her father‘s "So Mrs. Galesbourne, alias Mrs. Clara Abershaw, was Smith‘s daughtâ€" r?" asked Sir Hallard, screwing his monocle more firmly into his eye. "Oh, so Smith was with him as long ago as that?" Sir Hallard interjected "She was, poor darling," returned Galesbourne softly. "And a finer wife no man ever had in this wide world, sir. , After our marriage, my brother agreed to make me a proper allowancse, provided I kept out of the old country; you see, it was awkward having me aâ€" bout, fcr, by some trick of fate, we were extraordinarily alike in looks and voice." ' "I see," remarked Hopton. "So back to Australia we went, Gertâ€" ie and I, and a pretty hard struggle we had, until I thought of going into the music hall business. Galesbourne would conveniently forget about us, or else Smith saw that we nsver got the ‘etters, anyhow he never paid up unless pressure was used: so we roughed it through all‘the little towns of Australâ€" lia until we dropped across a poor little hunchbacked monstrosity called Dave Reynolds, or ‘Re dDave‘ as he was known in the business because of his complexion." "Yes, Inspector," agreed the cropk with a wan smile. poor little devâ€" i1 was an eccentric character, but one of the finest trapeze artists I: ever saw, and he somelhow took to me from the first. We toured the country as the ‘Human Ape Act,‘ and for a time our show coined money." "With Red Dave disguised as a gorâ€" illa?" questioned the commstsioner. (To be continued) "The Human Ape?" asked Carlingâ€" ford. _ Keeping pine trees compact . Pine trees develop a long tap root. This helps to anchor them as well as assist them in reaching deep into the ground for moisture. This is also the reason pine trees grow best in a locaâ€" tion having good drainage. Only a few varieties of pines will grow well in wet soill. When pines are grown in a hedgeâ€" row or when an especially compact growth is desired, they should be disâ€" budded as shown in the Gardenâ€"Graph: Removing the central or terminal but causes the side buds to spread apart and form a much more dense growth. Cutting back the growth of the preâ€" vious year to a strong bud or branchâ€" let means a much thicker growth will follow on each part of the tree thus treated. 3 Spring flowering bulbs which are to be planted this fall should ke selected and ordered now while the impressions of ‘last spring‘s display are fresh in mind, and the dealers‘ stocks complete. especially if the newer and better sorts are desired. . The tulip bulbs which have been stbred away should be examined and cleaned now so as to provide inforâ€" mation about how ‘many will he usable this fall. Only sound, bright, fullâ€"sized bulbs are worth saving and these should be kept in a warm dry place in wellâ€"ventilated containers.

For some years now instruments have beren in use.to se inside the bladder, the bronchial tubes and the rectumâ€" lower end of the large intestine. One of the latest instruments of this kind to be perfected is the gastroscope which ecnablés the physician to see inside the stomach and thus learn whethr an inâ€" flammation of the lining (gastritis) is present, and also whether or not an ulâ€" c2r or a cancer is present. An intsresting editorial on ths develâ€" cpment and useflulness of the gastrosâ€" cope appeared in the Journal of the American â€" Medical â€"Association some mceonths ago. "The clearness or the view is remarkâ€" able. ‘The normal mucous membrane or lining of the stomach presents a brilâ€" liant pictur>â€"glistening bright orangeâ€" red. Gastricor stomach ulcer presents a yellow or grayish white floor and a sharp edge. In malignant ulcer or canâ€" cer the floor is dark brown and the edge is ragged and irregular, the surroundâ€" ingmucous membrane(lining of the stomach) appears hard and often grayâ€" isch white rather than orangeâ€"red." If the gastroscope makes 2verthing so clear to see, why shoull it not take the place of the Xray intirely? In the opinion of stomach and intestâ€" inal specialists both the gastroscope and the Xray have their special uses. If the gastroscope were used earlier when syptoms of indigsstion occur in those who are middleâ€"aged, early cases of cancer would be discovered. "Every patisnt over thirtyâ€"five years of age who suffers with loss of appetite or significant loss of weight and in whom th:re is no other explanation for the syptoms should be submitted to an examination by both the gastroscope and the Xray." By these examinations the death rate from oprating on canâ€" cer of the stomach would be greatly lowzred because n opsration would be attempt>d on those patients in whom the gastroscope examination showed a wide spread cancer.

Facts of both popular and technical interest on the part played by water used as disclosed in a recently® issued report entitled: "Industrial Waters in Canada‘" (Interim Report No. 3) by H. A. Lsverin, Bureau of Mines, Departâ€" ment of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. Report on Industrial Waters in the Dominion In some cases, the report reyeals, the quantities of water lused by different industries are hundreds of times those of any other raw material used in the particular process. The waterâ€" conâ€" sumption of a fairâ€"sized pulp or paper mill, for instancs, or of a large conâ€" centrating plant would be adequate to supply amediumâ€"large Canadian city. In mining, water has been the main agent for the precious metals and the ores from their gangues since the earliest time. A case is cited of one large western flotation plant which alone uses more than 3,200,000 gallons of water daily. The rport is chiefly a discussion of the effect of certain impurities in waters on different industrial processes, more especially in the mining, plulp and paper, textils, soap manufacturing, iceâ€" making, brewing and distillery, tanning, sugar, bak>ry, and canning industries. It follows the general trend of the two previous reports, one covering the work completed in 1934 and 1935, and the ctheér theâ€"work carried out in 1936, and deals with the quality of the surface waters‘ and civic‘ supplie>s for Western Canada from Sault Ste. Marie west to the Columbia River, British Columbia; the northern QOntario mining areas; and Abitibi and Mattagami rivers, with tributaries, as far north as Smoky Falls. Complets analyses are included of 49 samples of surface water from key staâ€" tions on the largs lakes and. rivers that are of industrial importance, and partial analyses of 84 public water supâ€" plies for alkalinity, total hardness, and calc‘um and magnesium hardness. Copies of the report may be obhtained Mrs. Aldo Varano, as matron of honâ€" our, was cha‘ming in a gown of heavy rose taffsta, with flull flared skirt and short bolero jacket. She wore a crepe turban to match,, with a> shoulder length deep rose veil, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in a gown of heavy white taffeta, made on princess lines, with shirred bodice and neckline, and short shirred sleeves. She wore a diaâ€" mond necklace and matching earrings, gift from her mother, and a beautiful ring given her by her father. Her veil was a floorâ€"length embroidered tulle, caught in of liliesâ€"ofâ€"the valley, and she carried a large bouquet of madonna lilies and white roses. Rev. Fr.
