Inspect- or," Chandra went on â€" itill very •llfily â€" "that there are Interest- fc similarities between Idrg. Tai- l's abduction and that of her •eohew?" •^ust what do you mean?" 'Un the case of Earl Talbert, r, there were theatening notes, that case, too, the victim was M first thought to have been kid- eped, and perhaps murdered, in I own car. la that case the vic- 0tat had been drugged â€" or so it IWas made to appear. . . And that fasc was confused by misleading attempts to incriminate others â€" $a in this one. Captain King, Miss fhorenson and I have all been de- Iberately involved." "Don't you think you're erowd- Idk this hunch of yours about the tKphew's being alive? You would •ot push it so far, I suppose, as to •agg«st that Mrs. Talbert kidnaped herself?" « * * "Only far enough to suggest ttiat the two abductions were planned by the same mind â€" ac- Srding to a similar pattern. . . I ink. Inspector, that the time has 4eme to confess that Mr. Jaspar ku not been entirely frank with you.

Christine was the only one in a position to watch the medium after he had stepped into the al- •ove where his desk stood. It Seemed to her that he fumbled un- â- ecessarily long in an upper draw- er before he came back and handed fhe Inspector a folded sheet of pa- per. It seemed to her, too, that In- Ipector Parsons spent an inordinate •me over it; and that when he fi- â- ally raised his eyes to Chandra's, a look of intelligence flashed like an electric spark between the two. At length the inspector said, ♦Perhaps we might pass this around. Someone might â€" have a suggestion." He handed the paper to Bill, â- who read it and passed it without eomment to Jaspar.

This is impossible.. Yet as she read on, fragments of conversation, strange encounters, bits of coincidence which had seemed entirely normal happenings tumbled about in the chaos of her memory. With shaking fingers she passed the sheet to Mr. Wilmet. The little man also adjusted Us glasses, tilted the paper to a more favorable light, and perused it slow- ly, nodding once or twics ai he did so. She'll love this adorable dirndl. Pattern 4561. Simple-to-make, with becoming yoke and set-in-belt. Pretty in print or contrasting colors. Pattern 4561 is available in girl's sizes: 6, 8. 10, 12 and 14. Size 10, frock, requires 2'^ yards 35-inch material. Send twenty cents (20c) in coins (stamps cannot be accepted) for this pattern to Room 421, 73 Ade- laide St. West, Toronto. Write plainly size, name, address, style number. "I think Mr. Chandra is right. Inspector." he said. "This should have been handed to you at once." ♦ « '• Whatever Christine had expect- ed, it was anything but this. For the paper, written in a small, but clear script, with ink barely dry, had read: "You will find that one person in this room will be unable to read this. He will pretend to, and may offer some harmless comment; be- cause of all those here, he cannot allow it to be guessed that his vi- sion is very bad. He will have no reason to suspect that this is not actually one of the messages he sent to Mrs. Talbert. The paper and the arrangement on the sheet are identical with those of one of the extortion notes Mrs. Talbert showed me. . . Have you noticed that Mr. Wilmet stumbled in find- ing a chair,- and almost fell over a footstool?" "You are right, Chandra," the in- spector said quietly. "The report that came a few minutes ago from Mrs. Talbcrt's oculist makes it clear that the fragments of lens we found in that wheelchair did not come from her spectacles. ...You are all wearing glasses â€" or Miss Thorenson was. Mr. Wilmet" â€" his voice dropped into a pool of silence â€" "we'll begin â- with you. Of course you won't mind giving us the name of vour sp'?cial- ist?" » • ♦ "Why, of course." Mr. Wilmet looked startled but entirely confi- dent. "I've got my glasses from the same man for years." "But not those glasses," the clair- voyant ^aid ^oftly. "Naturally, people with vision as poor as yours |lway.5 parry an extra pajr for emergencies, Vou had ydUfs wuR you, if you recollect, when you carte to my studio on the after- noon before Mrs. Talbert's murd- er. Prooably, since you are above everything else an opportunist. It was pure inspiration that made you slip into your briefcase that dagger you had seen me wearing while GOOD NEIGHBORS HGHT IN ITALY Swinging along in soldierly fashion, troops of the First Division, Brazilian Expeditionary Force, march through Naples shortly after debarking at the Italian port Miss Thorenson drew my picture, and which you guessed hundreds •f people would be ready to iden- tify." Inspector," Mr. Wilmet broke la, "this man must be crazy 1" « * * "Perhaps." The inspector's tone was dry. "Let's see just how his madness will carry him." "I wear that dagger only on pa- rade," Chandra went on. "When yon came, it was lying on a low table near the chair you took. I didn't miss it till some time after you went. . . No doubt I should have notified the police at once. But how could I guess that it would be used to commit a crime?" "I thought you called yourself a medium?" Mr. Wilmet looked to- ward the inspector for applause. "That's what the inspector calls me. I call myself a student of hu- man nature. You see, I make it my business to remember things other people hardly notice. . . .And among other things. Inspector, although 1 have seen Earl Talbert only twice, I recall certain peculiarities wliich were common to both him and his aunt. They were both superstitious. * * * "The first time I saw Earl Tal- bert, a few days before he â€" dis- appeared â€" he came to consult me because â€" he said, he had dreamed that he was in great danger. I saw no threat for him â€" he went away reassured that his scheme would work. "The second time I saw him was yesterday, when our Mr. Wil- met came here, also apparently to consult me about his warning dreams. Perhaps that was what he really wanted at first; but after 1 had again reassured him, and he had gone, I found my dagger gone, too. Now" â€" "Just a minute!" the inspector cut in. "Are you identifying this man as the person who stole your dagger?" "1 don't think that will be nec- essary, Inspectcr. Before we are through, he wi'l identify himself. . . . You see. Inspector, poor eye- sight was another peculiarity com- mon to Mrs. Talbert and her ne- phew. At 19, Earl Talbert had the vision of a man of SO." * • • "Inspector," Mr. Wilmet burst out, "this man's practically admit- ted that he doesn't know who took his knife. There were i dozen peo- ple here that afternoon." "That is true," Chandra said gently. "But only one of them wore lenses like the pair you dropped from your pocket. No wonder you found it impossible to replace them immediately after you broke the, others in that wheel chair." He took a spectacle case from his pocket and pased it to the in- spector. "I think." he said, "that when you have these lenses compared with the fragments you took from the chair, you will find that they are identical." "Well, there won't be any ques- tion about whose these are when we get into touch with the opti- cian," the inspector said. He glanced at the label inside the case and seemed about to add something. Then he broke off. (Continued Next Week) Not just for breakfast -but SUN DA Y SCHOOL L E S^O N August 27. ISRAEL'b FIRST KING. â€" I Samuel 9, 10, 11.

Clarke A long distance call . . . and a voice I hadn't heard in twenty years said "Is that you, Gwen?" The voice belonged to another of Partner's brothers â€" one from away up north. Now he and his wife and daughter are staying with us for a few days. It was milking time when their train was due so it was I who met them at the station. "Would I know them . . . would they know me. . . what shall we discover the years have done to all of us?" They were thoughts that ran through my mind as I waited. .'\nd then when the train pulled out I had no trouble at all in recognising my in-laws â€" even after twenty years. * • * Today we have been visiting places which Colin had known thirty-six years ago. You see, he and Partner both started faruung in this district as boys. Later they went their separate ways but dur- ing the last war they were together again in France. Then again in Canada, each with his wife and ' young family. That was when they paid us a sliort visit so many long years ago. Before our vi^itors arrived on Saturday Partner and 1 were talk- ing about family ties, how broth- ers and sisters apparently drift apart, each with his or her separ- Place. â€" Rainah, by some, i» identified witli Neby Sarawil, five miles nortliwest of Jerusalem, by others with Raniallah. eight miles north of Jerus;Ucm.

Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee! tliis same shall have .authority over my people.'' It would seem that at this time the Philistines were again harass- ing the Israelites with their des- tructive raids. The annoyance of these Philistine raids and incursions were the immediate cause of the prayer for a king. Meeting of Samuel and Saul "Then Saul drew near to Samuel in tlie gate... and in the morning I will let tliee go, and will tell thee all that is in my heart." It was probably in this high place that Samuel built his altar. A na- tural instinct among all nations chooses hilltops as fitting places of worship. Samuel tells Saul to go before him as a mark of honor. Saul Pleads Unworthiness "And as for tiiine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. . . .wherefore then speakest thou to me after this manner?" Samuel tells Saul that from this time on he is not to centre his mind on property, or animals, or material possessions but to consider the wel- fare of the nation, for it would be to him that Israel would now look for deliverance and leadership. In a spirit of humility Saul pled his ate life to live, and their way to make in a competitive world. Each has his share of joy and disillus- ionment, his ups and downs, bring- ing in their wake tolerance, resig- nation or contentment. Then with our grown families, who, in their turn, are making their way in life, we get X yen for our own folk, to see them once again, to visit and to remind each other of half for- gotten experiences. Ml this may be a sign that the years are creep- ing up on us but its a very pleas- ant xompensation for the passing of time, don't you think so, friends? « * « Of course, with all this coming and going, farming goes on as be- fore. The grain that is ready is all cut and stocked, the remainder of the crop is ripening fast. The cows broke out this morning and Partner and his brother spent most of the morning fixing fences as a result. Now they are away for a load of hay. The pullets are begin- ning to sing, sure sign that they will soon fulfil! their mission in life. Tlie roosters are crowing lus- tily from dawn to dark â€" all that is, except those which have already gone the way of all good roosters. .•\nd the heat wave is definitely broken. We have much to be thankful for. unworthiness, tlie smallness of the tribe of which he was a nie:nber, and the comparative insignificance of the family in which he had been brought up. Saul's Loyal Guard "Then Samuel toUl the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. -•Knd Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house." Having introduced God's appointed King and explained his duties to God and to Israel, Sa- muel dismissed tiie people. ".\nd Saul also went to Ivis house to Gibeah; and tliere went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched." With Saul went tliis band of men, fully approving what had been done and willing to help Saul in his new tasks. "But certain worthless feHows said. How shall this man save us? -•Vnd they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.'' They criticized God's ap- pointed deliverer and could sec no good in him.
