though it's not case there can be much dorht ahOllto

though it's not case there can be much doubt about"
 You think it's Goujon, don't youy'
 Think? Well, rather! Look here As soon as we got here on Saturday we found this piece of paper and pin on the floor. We showed it to the housemaid, and then she remembered she was too much upset to think of ii before-that when she was in the room the paper was lying on the dead mans chest-pinned there, evidently. Itmust have dropped of when they removed the body. It's a case of half mad re- venge on Goujon's part, plainly. See it. You read French, don't you?'
 The paper was a plain, large half sheet of note paper, on which sentence in French was scrawled in red ink in a large, clumsy hand-thus: 'Pni par un vengeur de la tortue."
 "Puni par un vengeur de la tortue." Hewitt repeated musingly. Punish ed by an avenger of the tortoise.' That seems odd"
 'Oh, he's mad-mad with Rameau's continual ragging and baiting," Net tings answered. Anyway, this is a plain indication-plain as though he'd left his own signature. Besides, it's in his own language-French. And there's his chopper too."
 Speaking of signatures" Hewitt re- marked. perhaps you have already compared this with d2her specimens of Goujon's writing"
 T did think of it, but they don't seem to have a specimen to hand, and, anyway, it doesn't seem very impor- tant. Handwritings are easily dis guised."
 Have you got Goujon?"
 ''Well, no. We haven't. There seems to be some little difficulty about that. But expect to have him by this time tomorrow"
 Hewitt's interest in the case was reused, and he determined to examine the rooms. By the side of the lobby was bathroom, and in this was fitted a tipup washbasin, which Hewitt in spected with particular attention. Then he called the housekeeper and made in quiries about Rameau's clothes and linen. The housekeeper remembered

Rdmedu Jay tctth his back across the sofa. one heavy black ulster, which Rameau | had very rarely worn-only in the cold est weather. The ulster had disap- peared.
 At this moment a clerk from the landlords office arrived and handed Nettings paper. Here you are," said Nettings to Hewitt. They've found q specimen of Goujon's handwriting at last, if you'd like to see 1t. I don't want it. I'm not a graphologist, and the case is clear enough"
 Hewitt took the paper. This" he said, ''is a different sort of handwrit- ing from that on the paper. The red ink note about the avenger of the tor toise is in a crude, large, clumsy, un- taught style of writing. This is small, neat and we'll formed-except that it is a trifie shaky, probably because of the hand injury"
 That's nothing" ccntended Nettings Handwriting clews are worse than useless, as a rule. Say now yourself, can any fiddling question of handwrit- ing get over this thing about averaging the tortolse'-practlcally q written con- fession? To say nothing of the chop per and what he said to tie housen:aii as be left"
 Well" said Hewitt, perhaps not, but we'll see. Meantime"-turning to the landlords clerk-'possibly you will be good enough to tell me one or two things. First, what was Goujon's character?"
 Excellent, so far as we know. We never had a complaint about him ex- cept for little matters of carelessness- leaving coal scuttles on the staircases for people 70 fail over, losing shovels. and So on.'
 '"The tortoise is dead TOW. I under stand!"
 Yes"
 Have you a lift in this buildingT"
 'Only for coaIs and heavy parcels: it goes into the basement"
 And are the coals kep: under this buildingT'
 "So. The store for the. whole row is under the next two houses. The base ments communicate"
 Do you know Rameau's other nameT-
 Cesar Rameau he signed in our agreement"
 Did he ever mention his relatiOnsy'
 ''NO- That is to say. he did say something one day when he was very drunk. but of course it was all rot. Some one told him not to make such a r0w-he was a beastly tenant-and he said be was the best man in the place and his brother was prime minister and an sorts of things. He came here on a bankers reference-

How to Tell Good Salt

TINE good housekeeper will growl at the
i flour, scold the yeast cake, sniff at the
butter, turn up her nose at the lard, in
spect the meat with greatest care yet all her life
wonder why she often over or undersalts her
dishes when she knows that she sailed them
just right, as she always did, and as the receipts
call for.
The reason is simple: the seasoning value of
different brands of salt varies widely. This
statement is easily proved. Take five slices of
ripe tomatoes; apply equal parts of five makes
of salt upon the separate slices; Eat as soon
as sailed. The differences in flavor, permea-
ton, rapidity and equality of dissolution, sea-
soning value, are readily detected.
A table salt should be fine, the crystals of
equal size, quickly soluble, and free from in
gradients which absorb moisture from the air.
Large and small crystals will not dissolve uni
fornly, consequently the full sailing effect is
not obtained until the large crystals are dis
solved. The quickly soluble salt diffuses itself
through the food at once, and gives an equality
of SAVIOR. Sticky salt is an intrusive nuisance.
Failures in sailing are largely due to changing
from one make of salt to another. Get the best
grade, grow accustomed to its use, stick to it
The sea yields about three gallons of salt
from each one hundred gallons of its water.

Balloon Telephones

BALLOON telephones have been used in the
- last year in novel ways. Automobiles follow
ing the balloons have carried complete equip
ments, and communications have been kept
up with the aeronauts for many miles. In the
wars of the future, the balloon will probably
figure prominently as a factor, especially for
newspaper reporting, and the military field
telephone will go along with it. Light, portable
telephone outfits have been made so that a
few men mounted on fleet horses or riding in
automobiles can string temporary military
telephone wires in advance of an army at the
rate of eight to ten miles an hour. The future
scout will thus keep in close touch with the
army, even though many miles ahead of it.
Much has been said about farmers sitting in
their homes in the evening and listening
to the news of the day telephoned to them, and
later MOVING the music in some distant opera
house. Churches are also being equipped with
a modified form of the telephone, SO that one
need not bother leaving his home to hear the
Sunday mornings sermon. Those who are
very deaf can hear sermons through an inn
proved telephone instrument. Few people
have their auditory nerves so far weakened
that they cannot hear words shouted into a re-
ceiver and electrically transmitted and lltenSl-
fed. In these notifications of the telephones
the hopes of thousands of deaf are placed. An
asylum for deaf people was recently equipped
with such devices, and eighty per cent. of the
inmates can converse with each other and listen
to music preaching, and prayers. Some of the
inmates had not been able to hear word OF
conversation in twenty years.
Railroad telephoning is an assured accom-
plishment, and train moving at the rate of
fifty miles an hour can pick up a message as
easily as if it was standing still. Tunnel diggers
have had much of the danger of their occupa-
ton removed by telephone construction under
ground. Deep water divers will soon be pro-
vided with telephones SO they can give more
intelligent directions to their companions above
water. A small mouthp;ece is placed inside of
the helmet, and receivers near the ears to hear
words spoken above. The old method of de-
pending upon signals communicated by witch
ing the rope had too limited vocabulary for
modern purposes. Improvements in the auto
matte systems of telephones have made their
use possible in many new ways, and if the old
manual system is eventually superseded, the
unseen, but always ubiquitous, girl who
responds in such dulcet tones to the call of
Central may thus disappear.

life to save those of his companions. The super
intendent was one day startled by the an
nouncement over the mine phone:
Fire broke out in No 12l Call men out of

Then the communication stopped. By fran
tic telephoning, the miners, numbering up
ward of fifty, were called out of the other two
mines just in time to prevent their being
headed off by the fire from the unlucky No H.
The miner who sent the warning message per-
shed, and his last words had been whispered
