Mar' laid a Ughl velvet wrap about bor shoulder? and stepped into the hall aa soon its she heard Bates' door clo«e. He sUxxl renplendcnt in cven- Ji^f 4r%8, clawinK at his collar, an improved but sitill a brightly i^unburnt young man. "Lotrl." he groaned, "I thought thi.<! job vr-B a finch when I took it â€" but phor«y!" He Iifte<l his chin as far 1. pc^iMble out of his uiirelontinu col- lar and said resiRnedly, "Well, let's <?»• "It will be cooler or the roof," she i»niforte<l him. Fhc had prown ra- ther fond nf the little chap in recent days, and she owed him something for the smiles he jrave her. She thought of tht money Mr; Jupiter had given her and dwided suddenly what to da with it. Sh« put it in his surpri8e<l hand and cl*nche«l the fingers on it. "•No!" he bo<-)med loudly, aghast. Itut she made him take it. "For being a good egg," she said. 'How di<l you come out with your [wrzle?" "Oh, that." He seemed relieved to rlK*n|i:e the subjec":. "I didn't got Buch done on that." "Well, let the picture puzzle go fur Ihe present. More than likely it's ju3t Gome political candidate he took a disHke t<i. Even criminals have their politics, I suppose." Batc« rapped on Mr. Jupiter's door, eyeing the iiecklate meanwhile. "Phew I" he vc-mail.ed. "Some class, «J.? Thei-e's goin^ to be several hun- dred mighty jealous WTeiis nt that party whfn they glimpse that, believe we." "Come in!" yelled .Mr. Jupiter In a Toice that made them both start. As •oon as they entere<i-, they realized that he was very angry. Bruce was there, leaning agai'isl, a chair, exam- ininjf the tip of his cigaret with half- cIoKe<l ejTS. Jupiter nodded toward chairs, then l.irned back to Bruce. "Go on! Say what you've got to R.y," h* commanded roughly. Mary's heart sankâ€" a quarrel with Bruce rt this particular moment? If only the old man would .soften his attitude to- ward hi« son a little, she thought Bruco might be won to his father's »ievvs much m^>re easily. But Bruce':; manner hardened to meet his father's. •â- rxt TO* Ket this straight," Bruce frowne<l. "I'm fc> undentand that you suspect De lyonia of Vx-ing the man you're after?" Jupiter .Senior no<!ded. "I despise the < hap, certainly, but - do you realize the absuixlity of that?" burst out Bruce. "Why' he's an old friend of Ixmise'n! She's known him for years, xind whatever else .e may be, surely it's nonsense to try to iimke him out a murdtrer, a- a thief." When no one spoke, he continued ill a Urut that i»truggled to keep i-ea- noiuible. "] grant v,,ii he may not be prccit«-Iy a liiy, but the .strict Anier ioa.n cy^de of inonda, ethics aiwl what- not. Ile'n nobility, you know. And poirt-war conditiuiis â€" I don't say he may not have turned his hand to a nhody deal or t wo, to keep from starv- ing-" Mary had an impression that he waa talking U> Imlster up his own rourtLge, that behind his sconiful fromt ht' was frightened. Jho sjicc- taclo of his lx>ui»o in the arms of a man of that stripe was hon-ll>lo to lii|m. Againht hi* judgment he must believe the l>e<it of the man or see CSU^^ No. 8â€" '33 Ix>uise as horribly smudged by her fornu-r association with him. Mary asketl: "You haven't told Ix)uiEe what we know about I'e Ix>inu have you?" Bruco rejfauied her steadily. "Not yet," h^ said. "Look here, father, jierhajis I can't alter your ideas about this man just yet, but I can alter them about some^me else, I imagine. I happen to have certain facts that â€" well, thatâ€"" "Out with 'em!" the old man snap- ped. "I'll be brief," Bruce anecrul. "It's this: 1 think all his pui^uit of Dei Loma is simply a fake on Mi.ss Hark- 1 r.ess' ptrt. He is the first man who ] came to han<l. Therefore she point.s j him out as tne murderer. Where is the real murderer? I fancy the au- thorities know Wst about that. Why, this girl Is working you for all she can get out of you, caii't you see it?" Bates moved forward threateningly but Mr. Jupiter hel<l ip a restraininjc hand. "Isn't It o<ld that the pursuit of this • â€" phantom, let us say â€" should talie on the general lines of a pleasure jaunt of the first order. Now I sub- mit, father â€" " "You submit what?" hii father prompted in a level voice. "Why, that you'd do better to get ' rid of this woman and forget the other thing. She's broken with her fif.nce. For what? Because she'.s after bigger game. You! She's car- ried me along vei7 graciously because she can't get rid of me. Why, right under your nose she's grabbing right and left whatever she can get her hand <m â€" right now she's got a dia- mond bracelet of Louise's salted away! How's that for cuteness? De I-.oma loaned it to Ix)uise, and she got it a\vay from all of us. Why, she'.? slicker than De lx)ma dares to be!" There was a long minute of ghast- ly silence, broken by Bates' heartfelt exclamation, "Well, I'll be damnetl!'' He laughed then â€" ix)sitively roared. "That bracelet," Jupiter spoke gent- ly, "was your mother's son. It was p«rt of what theâ€" robber got when he â€" when he shot your mamma, and got away. I'd know the liracelct any- where. . I had it made special for her. Why, I believe it's got her ini- tials in it! Did you notice, Mary?" Mary shook her head. Well, it has. You look next time. If Ivouise got it from De Ix)ma, then that proves all we've been trying to prove. Sure as sin he's the man kill- ed your mamma, Bruce. Now, is that enough for you? Anything else you want to say?" Bruce still leaned against the chair, but there was something altered in j him â€" a sort of crumpling of the spirit that drew a faint pity even from the girl he had ju.st denounced. After all, he wa.s only a rather strong-headed \ young man who had swallowed an overdose of cynicism and sophistica- tion at too early an age. Mr. Jupiter spoke to him then mop' gently than Mary had ever heard him. "Bruce, my son," he said, "wo need you. Will you help us?" Bruce drew himself up, refusing t.) meet his father's eyes. He was not yet ready to give in. "There mu.st be some explanationâ€"" he stammeretl. "Till I've heard both sides, I can'tâ€"" "You'll not speak a word of this to De Ixima or to that woman, either!" Jupiter flare<l. "You hear me? I'll put you under lock and key If you don't giive me your promi.se not to ofxen your mouth on the sxibjtK-t to either of them, until we've had a chance to make an arrest. PiMmi.se me." Mary came forward, laid her hand oi) Mr. Jupiter's threatening fist. "f.«t him do just this, if he will," she soothed. "Ask him to keep louisc away from the hoti'l for this evening to avoid any fui^he.r scenes. Keep her where Hlie won't see or speak to De Ix>ina until we've done what we planne<l to do tonight. If De Ivoma len.rns we have the bracelet, it may 1h' dangeroi:8, you see â€" " she explain- e<I for Bruce's Inmellt. "I imagine you won't want to have dinner with ii.s now and I'm »mvt she won't." "You imagine correctly. Nothing would give us greater iileaaure than to offer you our regrets." With that Bi uce went out. Mary turned impulsively to the old man. "Don't worry. He'll comft around all right! Everything will come otil line -iiee if it doesn't!" She kisaeii him lightly on the cheek and waa relieved to nee hU eyes twinkle at heir nuachievoiwly. "He certainly slammed you around prr>per, didn't he, miss?" h« teased. "But look here," he turned wrioua guiUlenly, "you oughn't fco t«k« | chaiu'e wearing that necklace Op there, Mary!" "Jiwt let him mv it!" Mary pl«ad«(1. "Then I'll take it offâ€" Balen or you can t*ke it away and lock it up tugiw. if you like. He thinks J've go\ It out of the iafe, l>ut he isn't sure. U I'c fhows up tonight at all, this will make him try for it now. I want to know quickly. And th«n m «ooti «• the (jolice lake him, I want to get hiA tc New York." "That so?" Jupiter wemed sur- prised. "Now I kiiida counted on your going on a little fishing trip as soon â- ^a this is over- - kinda made up my mind I'd like to try for some baracjda down around Dry Tortugasâ€" " Mary said treiuulously, "I'm afiaid I've lost my fish and I must go back and gel iiiiii!" Suddenly she was cry- ing, to her intense mortification. They all went out to the elevator together. There was the .sound of a toicphone ringing, anti af'vr listening a minute- tlivy decide<l that it cane fioiii Mary's r<.om. Mary lifted the receiver. "It's the mail clerk. Miss Ilarkness!" "Oh," said Mary, "of course. Stupid of me. You've a letter for me, is that it?" ''Not a letter. Miss Harkness, but I wanted to tell you â€" you've been so anxious for a letter from .Mr. Ruy- ther â€" that he's here, now." •Heie? Whire?" "Here in Miami? At the Black- stone, I think. But just look at to- night's paper, under 'New Arrivals,' and you'll see it. I have t<.> read it every day, you know, to know who'a stopping at the other hotels,." "Thank you! Thank you!" In a perfect daze of happiness, I .Mary hung up the receiver. I Dirk was here. Dirk had come! He hadn't WTitten, he had come him- self! (To be continued.) Troughs For Dogs Londou.â€" If motorccrs can get a drink of water on ^he road, why not dogs? So argued an animals' friend, with the result that It has been decided to providB all the A.

As almost i every main road and secondary road ! in the <ountry is provided with these ! boxes, "Kaithful Tray" will be able j to "wag his tail and wet his lip" I whenever and wherever he chooses. <. "New" Sphinx Discovered Near Second Pyramid Cairo, Egypt. â€" A hitherto unknown .sphinx was reported to have been un- earthed near the Second PyTamid by Prof. Sclim Hassan of the Egyptian archaeological department of the Uni- versity of Cairo. Twelve Mastabas, ancient Egyptian t<.mbs, also were reported t) have been discovered. The man who rises without pulling other down usually pulls others up with him. â€" Forbes, Goiter Takes its Toll stock owners are advised to lake time by tho forelock, and theroby prevent loss by goiter In calves, lambs and pigs, that are due, to be born, during ibe lato winter or spring. This can be done by giv- ing the pregnant animals on your farm, a small (|uantity of Iodine in some form. If you farm in a goiter district, do not delay giving the un- born animals this prou. lion. The calf and lamb crop can b& saved from goiter, by giving the pregnant cows and ewes free access to a .-^alt lick that contains potassium iodine, at the rate of ono ounce of pota.'>siuin iodine to each 100 pound.s of .-.alt. The little pig crop cau bo protected by giving the pregnant sow, each day a tablespoonful of a solution, made by dissolving "/4 ounce of pota.'isium iodine in two nuar'.s of water. This UdO of a small quantity of iodine in some form, to prevent golti.r in young animals is necessary In the greater part of the older fanning sections of Canada, excepting itie sea ''oast districts. ..^ Plane Service from Britain Trans-Canada to Far East Britain persists in her progres.sive conquest of the air. Sir Alan Cob- ham will soon attempt a non-stop 10,- OOOmile flight from Great Britain to Australia, rc-fueling in tho air from tanker planes stationed along the route. These long flights from Croy- don and other airdromes In England to the ends of the earth are becom- ing quite ordinary events in the an- nals of Imperial Airways Limited. Sir Kric Geddes, just back from an 8,000- mile trip to Cape Town, states that tho regular time for this route is to be cut to seven days, with Arm-trong- Slddeley monoplanes. This year tho great British-Indian service Is to be extended to Australia with offshoots to Hong Kong and Tokio. But parti- cularly interesting to the people of this country is Sir Eric's prediction that w^iihln two or three years at the latest Imperial .\irways Limited will have a regular trans-Atlantic and trans-Canada air service from the British Isles to the Far East. "That," he says, "will take our commercial services right around the world." The air-ports under construction by way of unemployment relief all across the Dominion will come in handy in connection with this far-flung project. ORANGE PEKOE BLFND "salada; TEA Tresh from the Gardens BaggagC'Room Voyaging Terry aid I have disco.-ered a de- lightful way to travel! We found ir quite by chance yesterday, when I went to question the baggage master about a mysteriously deUyed crate, and Terry trotted along at my heels. The man was busy when w.-? arrive- 1, so we were left to our own devices for a time. Terry really des-.-rvcs credit for the idea, since, if he had not al- most immediately begun to ^niff at the various crates and boxes with his in- quisitive fox-terrier nose I should never have thought of l-jokjng arounj myself. It took me but a few mo- ments to discover that a baggage room is a veritable hemisphere. The trunks nearest me were evi- dently unseasoned travelers, boun 1 only for neighboring towns. But over it one corner I spied a steamer trunk, generously tagged. It .vas toward this venerable globe-trotter that I turned iny attention. What a gay col- lection of labels!
