BARLEY brought the trap to the door, and

his wife drove up in their little market

The police said nothing, and soon they
were on their way again, but not before

The trap drove off. Its lamps were
lighted and they cast a bright blaze for

stopped them, and BARLEY jumped down
and took the horses head.

1t without me-not if YOU dig forever an a

The policemen held hurried colloquy
aside. In Gregory's mind was a growing
suspicion that the prisoner did not speak
the truth. But the others believed him.
What motive should he have to lie
about it?' asked Corder under his breath
1T won't advantage him If We find moth

Better let him show us the stuff now.
Who'd be the worse? If he's fooling us
he's not helping himself. For my part,
believe him. He's just come from marry

she should be the uppermost thought in

Billions of Flowers for Perfumes.

From Harper's
The total weight of the flowers gathered

pounds. The number of flowers this weight
represents is almost incredible. Consider
one kind of flowers only: The average
weight of jasmine flower is about 100 nIh-
ligrams. and consequently the seasok S
