"Amicable â€" certainly," and Nan's clear, cool voice came as a surprise to all who listened. "Ah â€" certainly." The detective was at ft loss just how to carry on his grilling process. "You held your hus- band then in high esteem?" "Indeed, yes, Mr. Dobbins." "Mrs. Raynor,'' the detective looked at her severely, "you have a dilTeicnt mental attitude now from that which you showwl when I (juestionej you before. I may r.-iy you have a grip on yourself. I cannot, therefore, place entire confidence in your statements. I shall have to ask corroboration. Miss Raynor, do you assert that there was no jarring note in the marital atti- tude of Mr. and Mrs. Kaynor?" "I do not assert that, Mr. Dobbins, but the exact contrary. My brother and his wife were both uncongenial and unhappy. They had few, if any, tastes in common, there was constant friction, even quarrels." Nancy Raynor looked at Miss Mat- tie with a cold scorn that would have withered a less belligerent nature. And then the medical examiner came in from the other room. "There aro strange deve'/^pmcnts in this case," he said; I suggest, Mr. Dobbins, that you defer your further questioning until moitilng.

A considerable import trade had sprung up in certain overseas imports into Morocco, between Casablanca and Agadir, particularly in tea and sugar, and consequently the port of Agadir has been kept open for coastwise traf- fic (imports). This is not likely now to be altered as, in the middle of this summer, the consul believes that Agadir will be thrown open to deep sea imports and exports on the lines of the other Moroccan ports.

Eraser, the coui.ty examiner, gave a few more instructions to the detec- tive and went away. "Now as to the weapon," Dobbins said briskly, ignoring Ezra Goddard's suggestion. "Who. can identify this pistol?" "Every one of us," Kent said, care- lessly. "It was tho property of my brother-in-law, and was always kept in tho upper right-hand drawer of that desk, at your side." "Was it, indeed?" anjl Dobbins seemed surprised. "And was it, to your knowledge, Mr. Kent, in that drawer just before the shooting?" "To my belief, rather than knowl- edge â€" a belief based on the assump- tion that it was doubtless there, be- cause that was its accustomed place." "Or," suggested Malcolm Finley, "in the event of an ill-mentioned in- truder, Mr. Raynor himself may have opened the drawer and taken the pistol out to protect himself, and so may have been shot, by his own hand or another's." "I can't sec it as a suicide," and Dobbins gave a long look at Finley. "Where was any motive for Douglas Raynor to kill himself?" "For that matter, who had any mo- tive to kill him?" asked Goddard. "We won't go into that at present," Dobbins returned, quickly. "No, don't," was Goddard's warn- ing. "Let mc tell you, Mr. Dobbins, this case is far from simple. I^et nie ask you to go slowly, for there are many things yet to be discovered." "That I well know, Mr. Goddard. But thi.s pistol is a valuable bit of evi- dence. We must take care of it.

The leading Mogador merchants, whoso trade must be heavily hit once Agadir is fully open, have already secured sites and in many cases put up buildings at Agadir. The latest development is the opening by some of tho Mogador mer- chants of a sub-depot at Sidi Mokhtar, about 60 miles east of Mogador on the road to Marrakeesh, in order to inter- cept there cereals from Sous destined for Marrakeesh. Great building activity generally is now going on at Agadir, and land ot the war-torn country, but the money for them !s not forthcoming. One project, however ,ha3 made head- way during the past year, and that la the construction of highways In several provinces, which open up hitherto Isolated districts to the outside world.

With the completion of three motoring roads which tho Franco-Moroccan Govern- ment is now driving over the Southern Atlas into Sous, two of which are actually open, that country must play a prominent part in Moroccan agri- cultural and comm-ivcial development. Its chief products are cereals, al- monds, gum, wool, goatskins, olives and arghan oil. The last is peculiar to this region but ha snot hitherto been used outside Morocco. Owing to shortness of supply of this of late, however, Morocco has been importing considerable quantities of Soya oil, the price of which is cheaper than olive oil.
