all the good points about Marion flour
wouldn't give you nearly as good an
idea of its superiority as a single
trial of it in your nome. So we ask
you to order sack. We know that
once you see how beautifully it bakes
and how far it goes you will be a
steady user of Marion flour hereafter.

detectives come, you are to offer no
opposition to whatever they may

can be cleared up"
Under escort of the butler the
hysterical suspects were removed,
and the ladies returned to the draw
ing room. Alice, her hands in her
pockets, stood before the open fire.

do you wish to go through me, Mrs.
Lawdon? And Mrs. Gaynor, have

Miss Rawlinss angry sarcasm fell
upon unresponsive ears.

Lawdon demanded sharply. I'm

Dressing himself hastily in his
tramping tweeds, he traversed the
silent house, and selected a heavy
black thorn stick from the hall rack.
At the door a pallid, red-eyed SER

fully. "Mr. Evelyn requests no one

to purple. A thread of scarlet

was not connected with the case in
mind. 1t seemed rather, in the ef
fort to reach the thing desired, the
dislodgment of another memory from
It's cell.
why. of course, Mrs. Wimbledon
was the woman whom the famous
French specialist had once named as
the most gifted hypnotist of his ac-
quaintance." Yes that was the name.
He had not been able to place it
no wonder. Who would have con-
nected Mrs. Gaynor with a science
as remote from her interests, or with
any one so devoted to 1t pursuits?
Wimbleton-the name on the en-
velope entrusted to his care, had use-
lessly haunted him. The strange, in
sistent, relentless personality that
dwells in us all, pushed aside
his conventional wonderings and
thoughts. He found himself sud-
denly confronted by the vision
of the maid as she clung to
Mrs. Gaynor's knees-of the strange
relaxation Of her body, when with
gentle, forceful firmness he had or
dered her to be quiet. He recalled
the anxiety Of her gaze. He had no
thought of compelling her will, other
than his wish to spare the woman he
loved a painful scene which might
break down the slender barrier of
self-control that still protected her
throbbing nerves--no thought but
tEls great desire. With astonishin.,
readiness the girl had bent to his
suggestion. He recalled the sharp.
almost frightened tone in which Mrs.
Gaynor had mentally seized and
shaken the PROSTATE servant, break
ing the spell his voice and presence
were closing about her predisposed
personality. She knew then-she re-
allied what was happening-wha
might happen! Am | insane?" he
said aloud. He thrust back the tum-
ultuous thoughts that lashed and
scared in brain and heart.
Again he was forced to see and to
fit another piece into the puzzle.
Mrs. Gaynor had spent nearly year
abroad-in Paris, three years ago.
while he was following his medico-
psychical research in Vienna. So
much Calvin Mortimer had told
him. That was the time when Mrs.
Wimbledon had studied with Beril-
lian. They must have known each
other there. 1t was fair to suppose

APPARATUS TO SHOW SEX
Experiments with sexophone Seem 70
Bear Out the Claims Of
Its inventor.
(To be continued.

London.-How to determine sex be-
fore birth has long puzzled scientists
especially the sex of q bird while
still in the egg. An Englishman has
invented an apparatus which, 1t Is
said. will do this. He calls the ap'
paratus the sexophone, and declares
that with Its aid he can determine the
sex Of any living creature.
Recently some experiments were
tried with the sexophone at the home
of w. T. Stead, the well-known pub
licist. The inventor had stated in
describing the apparatus that II it
were held over male the pendulum
would gyrate in circles that grow wild
er and wider, while If it were held
over a female the pendulum would
swing backward and forward.
The sexophone was shown to be a
pendulum Of copper wire and a piece
of highly magnetized steel, ending in
pith ball. 1t was held above the
subject by means of wooden handle
with copper core.
Various tests were made at Mr..
Stead's house not only with human
beings, but with eggs, a rabbit, a
hedgehog, a guinea pig, and pigeon
and in every case the instrument re-
sponded according to the sex of the
subject as the inventor said 1t would
Besides Mr.. Stead, among those who
watched the proceedings were Major
| Gen, Sir Alfred Turner The former
expressed himself much interested
and said that he intended to go furth
er into the subject.

then draw over each linz Of the

Upon lifting the pattern and trans

Thers are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
seq that your material is level-eut
and folded By thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is. when placed accu-
rately. secure the design to the
