That's the easy answer" replied
Elmendorf, and guess It's right. One
thing is tertain-if Miss Maclane
struck that blow, Miss Miller didn't see
her, and the poor girls story is true"
'If Miss Maclane struck the blow!"
repeated Kendall. dazed. What
earthly reason have YOU
Now, see here" said Elmendorf,

that these things don't effect me. as a
rule; they're all in the way OF Dusi-

me. How could anybody harm that
little girl?"
And he took another turn across the
room.
Miss Miller eXerts a strange inilu-
ence," said Kendall. II suppose we're
at least as hard hearted as the police,
but caught DR.. Darlington, the amDu-
lance surgeon who went out on this
case, walking up and down in his room
and telling another OF our young doe
tors what he would like to do to the
man who was responsible for this. The
room smelled birthstone from the Ian
guage that he used. And between our
selves, Mr.. Elmendorf, the thing filed
me with horror such as | haven't felt
In a good many years. Il is the per-
sonality OF the girl undoubtedly.
There's nothing unusual about the
case"
well. | would hardly say that" re-
turned Elmendorf. There are a few
things that | wouldn't call exactly or
dinary-Miss Macane's conduct, for in
stance"
she explained that perfectly to me-"
replied Kendall.
Yes" said Elmendorf. Il happened
to hear the explanation. and now let
me tell you something. II is a moral
certainty that Miss Maclane went TO
| that house before she says she did;
that she was there very close TO the
moment Of the crime, not TO put Il any
stronger"
What do you mean?' demanded
Kendall.
You have heard Of the mysterious
woman in the case?'
Yes. She was seen by DR.. Blair
leaving the house. But there's always
something Of that sort in every affair
Of the kind. II will be explained
, 81 wish Miss Maclane would explain
IT," said Elmendorf, for she was the
Woman. Dr.. Blair knows il beyond II
shadow OF doubt"

why hasn't he said so?"

his way to New York and took advant-

company was going TO do for Califo:~

have Californians consume mere OF tie

regulated by the eastern market. On
this Coast the price is regulated by the
Western Sugar Refining Company, and
we make our price 10 cents under thei'

Southern California to use beet sugar
