wet St. Swithin's Day was twenty nine, while a fair St. Swithin's Day was followed. by thirty-one rainy days, The saint belied his reputation more or less every year, and the modern meteorologist has no use for him.
 St. Swithin, who is menorated by both English and Latin churches today, was the son of Saxon parents. He entered the priesthood, and early distinguished himself for literary at- tainments He became the. priest Cf Egbert, King of the West Saxons, and was charged with the education of Prince Ethelwolf, father of Alfred the Great In his latter years he be- came Bishop of Winchester, and was holding that high position at his death in S62. He desired that he should be buried in the open church yard, but the monks considered 1t disgraceful that his body should lie in a common cemetery, and deter mined, following Swithin's canoniza- ton, to remove the remains to the choir. The ceremony was set for the fifteenth of July, but on that day and the forty days following it rained so violently that they abandoned their purpose, accepting the torrentiai doWnpoura as an expression of divine disapproval of their project. This probably accounts for the tradition about St. Swithin's Day and its rsIa- tion to the weather.

 I looked at Bella-the maid-as she moved around the dining room, her stolid face was not even intelligent, certainly not cunning. Heppie, the cook and only other servant, was part ly blind, and her horizon was the diameter of her largest kettle. No-it had not been servant, this mysteri- ous intruder who passed the Maitland silver on the sideboard without an attempt to take it, and who foundered around an attic at night, in search of nothing more valuable than patchwork quilts and winter fannels.
 It must have been after 9 o'clock when Bella came running into the room. Ordinarily a slow and clumsy creature, she almost flew. She brought up against a chair, and a cup went flying. The breaking of cup must have been a serious offense in Miss Le- titia, tNaitland's house.

St. Swithin As a
 Weather Prophet

According to ancient tradition, old St. Swithin controls the weather for forty days after July IS, and you can forecast what brand of weather he is going to order by what he favors us with today. If it rains today, the festival of St. Swithin, there will be rain for forty days following, and vice versa, if one believes the popular adage which runs:
 sst Swithin's Day, if thou dost
 rain,
 For forty days it will remain:
 St Swithin's Day if thou be fair,
 For forty days twill rain na nair." !"
 Of course, the iconoclasts have att tackled St. Swithin with their haul ners, and as a weather sharp the good Saint is now thoroughly dis credited. A London investigator, who looked up the records for St. Swithin's Day covering a period of twenty years, found that the greatest number of rainy days following a

 Margery had turned very white When the first revulsion had passed, I reached over and touched the stain. It was quite dry, of course, but it was still reddish brown. Hunter said after ward it must have been about six hours old, and as things transpired, he was right. The stain showed a hand somewhat short and, broad, with widen ed finger tips; marked in ink, it would not have struck me so forcibIy, per- haps, but there, it's ugly re& against the white wood, it seemed to me to be the imprint of brutal, murderous hand

Beside the large chest of drawers in fhe main attic Hunter found perhaps half a dozen drops of blood, and on the edge of the open drawer there were traces of more. In the inner room twp trunks had been moved out nearly a foot, as he found by the faint dust that had been under them. Then he took out his notebook.
