RESULT OF THE MURDER "Well, my wife put over her stuff magnificiently, poor dear, for she was a born actress. But the only effect the scare had was to make Scutt even more desperate for drink. I wouldn‘t go near him, so he sent his wife, who, of course knew nothing of his blackmailing games, to ask me to call and see him. I couldn‘t refuse to go, for I was terriâ€" fied of what he might do, and it sudâ€" denly struck me that I might be able to make use of all this wild stuff he‘d been saying, about the Ebony Torso causing his death, to get rid of him once and for all. When I got to his beside, he demanded money, and I gave him a few shillings and promised to go over to the Vicarage for more. I carefully left the front door of his hciuse ajar, dashed back and got held of poor little Dave, who lived in a room at the top of the house, told him to bring one of his gorilla gloves, and took him back with me to Scutt‘s, hidden under a rug in the back of my car. _ _"That‘s it, Inspector," agreed the other, taking another sip of water. "From that time on my life became regular hell . . . with an endless deâ€" mand for money, in larger and larger sums, when Scutt put down his throat in drink. After a bit, I got sick of this racket and refused to pay, and it was about that time that I got a brain wave. â€" Scutt had gone crazy on this Spiritualism game, and used to tell fortunes for money; so I got my wife to call and consult him . . . fortunateâ€" ly she hadn‘t met him before . . . unâ€" der the name of Mrs. Abershaw, so as to keep an eye on him. You know the stunt he worked with that carving, ‘The Ebony Sorso‘, and how we tried to scare him into such a state of drunkâ€" enness panic that we could get him locked lup and out of harm‘s way in a lunatic asylum." "I see," nodded Carlingford. "Up to his usual blackmailing games, eh?" "I was fool enough to tell him durâ€" ing my first visit to England when 1 thought him my friend," replied the prisoner, ‘a fierce look in his eyes. "Well, as I said before, he noticed the scar again, and threatened me with the police." in the old daysâ€"Freddy Scutt." "So that‘s where Scutt comes into the story?" cried Carlingford. "He knew you were the Vicar‘s broâ€" ther?‘"‘ Hopton asked. "Then I‘ll get on," answered the prisoner. "I did a bit of calling in the parish to lend colour to the sham, and was just settling down, as I thought, in safety, when, one awful day, I was "Thank you, sir," he smiled, taking it and drinking eagerly. "I‘m sorry to keep you so long, but I‘m nearly at the end of my story now." "That‘s all right, take your time," nodded the Commissioner, kindly "We‘re in no particular hurry." ory. In this I was helped, quite unâ€" consciously, by that smug idiot, Dr. Gravely. As the Vicar was a celibate, I was obliged to install my wife in rooms at Kensington as Mrs. Clara Abershaw. We could only meet occasâ€" ionally, and that was the hardest part of the whole thing." He paused, and Sir Hallard poured out a glass of water and passed it over to him. well. Besides, I pointed out that the mischief? he made between me and my brother was partly the cause of his master‘s death. Of course, he spotted the difference immediately, but I was able to threaten him into silence, and when he got too difficult I used perâ€" sonal violience. That accounted for the bruises you saw on his wrists, inspecâ€" tor." "I see," said Hopton. "The next step was to prevent anyâ€" one else discovering my secret," conâ€" tinued the sham parson.

Therefore the soles of his shoes were quite dry." "I see," agreed the Chief. "Go on." "Well, the first thing I felt sure would happen, was that the police would want to interview Mrs. Clara Abershaw, so she duly disappeared from Kensingâ€" ton, and changed her name and clothes as soon as possible. I moved her to Ikey Frost‘s place in Rotherhithe, and we made our headquarters there from that time on." "@uite so," nodded Hopton. : "But a completely unforseen thing happened at that point, sir," Galesâ€" bourne went on. "The excitement of what had happened in Scutt‘s room sent Dave completely mad. He became savage and unamanageable, and 1 made things ten times worse by threatâ€" ening to have him put away in an: asylum unless he did as he was told. He broke out of the Vicarage that night, leaving a note to the effect that he would kill us all, one by oneâ€"the entire gang." Dave out of the front dooar and drove him back to the Vicarage.

You know the rest; how Mrs. Scutt, who had got back by this time, came running up, and how I at last forced the door open and found ‘poor‘ Mr. Scutt strangled. That was the point where you police came in." "Exactly," smiled Sir Hallard grimly. "But you‘ve left one little detail unexâ€" plained; how did you avoid leaving Dave‘s small footmarks on the linoâ€" leum? It was snowy outside, and his shces must have been muddy." ‘"We did it from the door step, Inâ€" spector," replied Galesbourne. "You‘ll remember the step had been washed clear of snow. It was the absence of footmarks that was going to baffle the police, I argued." The worst enemies of China asters are "And you were right!" smiled the Cetective. "The effect was excellent." _"But to get on with the tale,‘ :copâ€" "Then I thcught of another stunt to lend colour to the supernatural busiâ€" ness. I crept downstaeirs, and found a clothes line post standing against the wall outside the scullery door, and we did one of our old musicâ€"hall tricks; I held the post while Dave shinned up and left the impression of his gloved hand on the pile of snow on the sill and slid down again." "But why didn‘t your feet leave marks on the snow?" asked Hopton. "I examined that back yard carefully, and I‘ll swear there wasn‘t the sign of a boot mark." "I next smuggled him upstairs under my log black cloak, and tapped at the door. Scutt answered it, and I waited till he‘d got back into bed again before entering the room with Dave crouching behind me. Mrs. Scutt, by the way, had taken the opportunity of my being with her husband to go out and do some household shopping. Well, the little devil was so quick, that Scutt never even saw him, until he made a spring and gripped his throat with the glove, lacerating the flesh badly with the sham talons. In three minutes the man was dead, and I heaved a sigh of relief. To be Continued) Have you entered your garcen in this competition? If not, why not?

Its author, Gustay Krist, who recently died, was a gallant explorer, who wanted adventure and sought it in ocutâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way spots, which gave his readers an insight into the lives of rople in other parts of the world. An Austrian, the author served in Central Asia during the great war, and later in his life he decided to visit the east again for purely adventuresome reasons. The ccuntry that the author chose to visit, is known as Bukhara, and unâ€" til 1917 it was a dependency of Russia.

Building Highways Requires Much Skill Dr. Frederick L. Patry. Albany, N. Y., in an address to the Biology Club, Renâ€" sselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N. Y., said:â€""Since mind and body are inâ€" separable it is important that behavior be functioning at its best level. Periodâ€" ic health examinations are desirable in bringing out faulty habits (as well as organic troubles) in order that they may be corrected." Practically every automobile owner has his car overhauled from time to time to keep it in its best possible conâ€" dition. However, man is different from an automobile in that he has a mind, and very often the body may be doing its work fairly well, because of regular habits of work and rest, but the mind has formed faulty habits which render the individual unhappy or restless which interferes with the happiness and restfulness of others. Just as an infected tooth or ulcer of the stomach can affect the health and so the mind, by making one irritable and impatient, so can restless, discontented mind inâ€" terfere with the workings of the body and cause, in some causes, real or orâ€" ganic trouble. Therefore, just as one undergoes a physical examination "by his other life, his ‘behavior‘ life. He must make this examination of himâ€" self by himself. Bukhara forbads any Europeans to cross its frontier. Travelling with his employer, Abul Qasim Qannadi, Krist reached the town of Barfurush, and, sadly in need of a bath, he rides about twentyâ€"seven miles to a clear mountain stream. There he meets a group of Turkomans, one of whom has a serious lillness. known as guineaâ€"worm. Havâ€" ,ing dealt with these "brutes‘"‘ before, Krist is able to heal the man who is suffering greatly. In another adventure a few days later, Krist, by applying artificial respiration, saves the life of another in the group of Turkomans. Their gratitude is profound, and as Krist wishes to visit their country, they offer him their aid. They bring him to Soviet territory, and from there he travels *to Bukhara and Samarkand. He is recognized and arrested, but somehow manages to make his captors believe that he is Krist, and continues on his journey making his way over the crest of the Alai range, and to the valley of the Kizil Su. At Kizil Su he finds a group of Black Kirghznomads, who adopt him, and make him a memâ€" ber of their trible, even providing him with two wives., Danger_traces his -fvotstreprarhrtmveis to'bhe-ems-und- across a corner of the Kara Kum desâ€" ert, but he finally manages to make his escape into Persia, without being capâ€" tured by the government officials who term unlawful entry into their colunâ€". try as a major crime.
