Hopton who was in charge of the raid | had carefully arranged his men so as to prevent all possibility of the criminals slipping through the cordon, and now stood, watch in hand, waiting for the landlady‘s signal, to make his swoop. The minute hand of the Detective‘s watch crept slowly up the dial and reached the quarter to one, but still no isignal came. | E "I‘m very sorry for you, Mrs. Woolâ€" ston,." the detective assured her as Morâ€" rell entered. "But it won‘t do to have dangerous characters like that at large If you do your part properly there‘s nothing to fear."

"Good mornin‘ "Good morning," repeated Hopton and. as soon as she had gone, he took up the receiver and made his arrangeâ€" ments for the impending raid. OFFICIAL AMBUSH About halfâ€"past twelve the same morning, a number of plainâ€"clothes police officers began to concentrate unâ€" ‘ obtrusively in the lane behind Mrs. Woolston‘s house, 197, Cheddar buildâ€" ings, Kennington. It was a narrow alley, with a high | wall on either side intersected with a number of wooden back doors belonging | to the houses. A good deal of litter |had beemn blown along it‘s surface by a !bitter east wind that made the attackâ€" l eps shiver. "No," agreed Hopton. "You‘d better |get hold of Sergeant Grattan and tell him to put a couple of uniform men | at the end of this lane to keep back the crowd, as soon as we move off." "Very good. sir.‘‘ nodded the other, The detective had turned to watch | him, when the back door of 197 was | cauticusly opened, and the face of Mrs.| |\ Woolston appeared.

It took little reasoning to understand from these letters that the tragedy had not come unexpectedly and that the supposed parson and his wife were be-l ing remorselessly hunted down by some | enemy from whom they were making desperate attempts to escape. . .. an enemy who had somehow managed to ‘gct into the house in the absence of the | |two men and kill the woman. | ~The weapon with which the murder | ‘had been done was clearly a weighted 'knife of the type used by professional' iknife-throwers. Hopton recognized it | ‘as being the weapon which had been used in the famous Circus murder, for |he had been engaged on that crime as 'a junior officer under Detective-ln-l | spector Nadin and had taken a promiâ€" ' ‘nent part in bringing the | | | | | $ ‘Karl Siemann. a young German juggâ€" ler, to justice. This fact set him thinking and he ‘immediately remembered that the saiâ€" ilor.

The facts seemed to. ‘"Nearly an "‘our, sir, I daresay." "And you haven‘t heard any noise of her moving about?" "Not a sound, Inspector," agreed the landlady.

Hopton ‘capt across the room and turned the woman on to her side, but found that she was already beyond all human aid. He replaced her gently in the position in which he had found her and carefully examined the dagger. It was of Oriental manufacture, and so firmly embedded that he had some trouble withdrawing it. It proved to be a singular weapon, weighted in such a way that it could be thrown with deadly accuracy. There could be little doubt that the unsuspecting victim had been struck down by an assassin who had hurled the dagger from the door. In front of her lay small pile of letters, stamped and ready for posting. Hopâ€" ton pounced on these and opened the first. It contained only a short mesâ€" sage written in a neat carefui hand.

The case was gradually taking shape. Galesbourne had deliberately smuggled a man into England at a time just prior to the Vicar of St. Luke‘s nervous breakdown. It was a suggestive fact that the music hail artist from Melâ€" bourne and the saintly parson of Lonâ€" don bore a remarkable resemblance to one so suggestive that the Detective felt certain what he had susâ€" pected from the first was a true anâ€" swer to the riddle. The Australian had got rid of his priestly double and takon his place! Again all the facts bore out his hypoâ€" theosis. The nervous breakdown, folâ€" lowed by loss of memory was the obâ€" vious solution to the question of a novâ€" ice carrying out the duties of a parish priest: it would account for his abâ€" sence from services at St. Luke‘s and his inability to recognize the friends and church workers connected with the saintly man he had decided to imâ€" personate. It was the very idea which would occur to a cunning and desperâ€" ate criminal. sun to Be Avoided by some It must come a s a shock to many to be told that the rays of the sun may not only not be of help to everybody but can be actually harmful to some individuals. And if there is one disâ€" ease where we have thouzght the rays of the sun were helpful, it is in tuberâ€" culosis. Dr.. B. Hudson, London, in "Tubercle" states that the sun is a powerfiul means of treating certain disorders, especially beneficial in cases of surgical tubercuâ€" losis and certain other chronic surgica) conditions that are not tuberculous, but "patients with tuberculosis of the lungs should never be allowed to take sun baths, as they are definitely danâ€" gerous." Sun bathing however may be used when of the surgical typeâ€"knee, hipâ€" where the process is slow and just in the one place. It is also useful in chronic pleurisy when the process is quite slow. Unsupervised sun bathing can certainly light up (make it start again) an unsuspected tuberculous spot on the lung. Sun treatment consists in the graduâ€" al exposure of the body to the light, not the heat, of the sun, and patients who are taking sun baths should be surrounded by a circulation of free air. This is why sun bathing on the beach is so helpful to those who are free from tuberculosis. Sun treatment should alâ€" ways be supervised and controlled by a medical practitioner. The aim of sun bathing is not burning but tanâ€" ning. ~Gradual tanninz. not burninge. is thus the keynote of the treatment as severe burning really poisons the system. When tuberculosis is of the scatâ€" tersd typeâ€"different spots in the lung, and especially if the patient has "feverâ€" ish" attacks. exposure to the sun should e strictly avoided, as it is likely to spread the condition. However, even in tuberculosis of the lungs, when a patient whose progress is slow in becoming cured, sun bathing may be tried as it may give a little stimulus or increased action which, by stirring up the body‘s defences, may bring about an earlier cure. Now the above information does not mean that the sun is not helpful beâ€" cause, as a matter of fact, we do not get enough of it. The sun builds up the blood by increasing the amount of iron in it, stirs up and removes conâ€" A THOCUSAND TIMES . .. (by James W.

(Registered in accordan Copyright Act.) One Plan for Helping Return to Good Days Supggests that Canadian Government Follow Briâ€" tain‘s Lead. (From Globe and Mail) It is obvious that whatever policies would cause an upward trend in buildâ€" ing totals in Canada would kill two bad birds with one stone. One bad bird is unemployment and the other bad bird is the extra taxes which have to be levied in order to give relief to the unemployed persons and their dependâ€" onts. The last official report made public at Ottawa yesterday shows the grand total of all receiving Government aid to have dropped from 1,024,000 in April to 961.000 in May, and it is to be hoped that there have beoen further reductions in June. In May, 1937, those receiving Government aid were 1,038,000, so that there has not been much reduction in the meantime, which is not much a matter for surprise in view of the sharp recession in the United States and its effect in Canada. The totals look more encouraging, however, when it is realâ€" ized that they included 382,000 farmers and dependents on relief in May, a drop of 10.000 from April, but an increase of 82.000 from May, 1937, because of short crops in Saskatchewan and elsewhere in Western Canada. If the expected good crops bring about a sharp cut in this total there will be a worthwhile reduction. 632.000 in April and 738,000 in May, 1937. That is a real reduction bui there were still unemployed in that total 154,000 fully employable persons now on relief. That was 15,000 less than in April and 61,000 less than in May, 1937, which was supposed to Ds an active period, and it seems to show the problem gradually yielding to atâ€" tack. Increase in building has had some result, but if we could take up all the slack of unemployed in the building a !z‘ording to figures given at the annual |conferenc»e of British building societies by the Chairman, Walter Harvey ‘-'rhi‘l‘f? has been a tremendous increase in assets during the period since the | Great War but a drop in the numbet of societies from 1,.336 in 1918 to 977 in 1937. There are five times as many ‘members now as in 1918 including 3,â€" S 41 # t L PB trades the past record for building in Canada would still be beyond immediâ€" ate capacity to reach. Government aid on a large scale is not the answer. It was tried in Engâ€" land and it had a very bad effect on building until at last the Government got out of the way of the building inâ€" dustry. The consequent wonderful reâ€" vival of building in England was based o . mmR CCC > w Ww im se 0C 0 0 e m 0 0 o Crown Life Progress reflects Public Approval with the T. E.

The shares held went up from $250 millions in 1918 to $2,588.3 millions and the deâ€" posits from $70.4 millions to $693.2 milâ€" lions. Mortgages‘ held advanced from $266 millions to $3.180.3 millions. Total assets at $3,510 millions are more than ten times the 1918 total. In other words, everybody with a bit money was a potential factor in the accomâ€" plishment. The volume of repayments is now growing and it is hard to put the repaid money out into investments which will permit paying the liberal returns on shares and deposits hitherto paid. The societies are anxious for the Governâ€" ment to employ their resources in slum elimination and other public projects, They are not likely to seek investment for growing surpluses in Canada or elsewhere until the laws and practices here have shaken loose from every taint of the depression psychosis. But, in that case, there would be plenty of Canadian money for new building. Sudbury District Leads North Land in Auto Deaths Sudbury district has the farâ€"fromâ€" enviable distinction of having the larâ€" gest death toll in the North from auto accidents. Temiskaming stands second in this regard, while the District of Cochrane very fortunately comes well down in the list. Manitoulin Island was the safest place in which to drive a car during the past| year. There were no deaths on "The Island," and there were only eleven accidents all told, with five nbeople injured. Thunâ€" der Bay had the most deaths (15). The city of Sudbury had 48 auto acciâ€" dents with seven fatalities and 53 others injured. In the Sudbury disâ€" trict there were another 258 car acciâ€" dents with twentyâ€"six deaths and 137 injured. Muskoka in 1937 made a good record in the matter of car accidents with â€" thirtyâ€"three accidents, three fatalities and fiftyâ€"six injured. Temisâ€" kaming was well down the list fotr total number of accidents but high up in the number of deaths from car acciâ€" dents, 79 injured and 20 deaths.
