mar whose teeth he has petted and
cured for several years. appeared at
his office not long ago and complained
OF a toothache. The offending molar
was found to be beyond repair and the
dentist advised that he have it out.
He consented, but insisted that this
maj would have to do the job. The
dentist agreed, n then found that
his patient insisted upon taking gas.
Il can't give o gas" he objected:
"a mar of your size and strength takes
gas very hard, and you would regret
it IL l gave it to you" The man could
be persuaded however, and insisted
both on this dentist performing the
operation and on using gas. The re-

It's interest for Louisa. She herself,
Wasts the Ifdgmentary statements which
she heard, could more easily surmise
the life history of Paul Baker than
could the dotirlg mother. who retailed
complacently every mark on the skin

nothing Whatever-less than nothing
of his thoughts. his schemes, of the
evll that was in him, and the ambition
which led to his end.
And now the last of the Baker con-

the sweetheart of the murdered man,
was the last to leave the coroner's
table. She did so with a flood of tears,

The coroner. somewhat impatient

He ordered the jury to be present at

Jim Baker-feeling no doubt hat his
ordeal was nearly over-was losing his
nerVousnessness, or perhaps it took q
new form, that Of POPULARITY. The cor-
oner thought 1t best to check his efforts
at humor in the bud.

And the Chaplain bricklayer at once
retired within his shell of humble self
depreciation. He answered a few more
questions that the coroner put to him,
but clearly his own circle of vision was
so circumscribed that, willing rs he
undoubtedly was. he could throw no
light whatever on the unknown events

practised on the Earl of Radcliffe and

was far too Indifferent, too fatalistic,
to put forth any theory as t his sons

tatons which had first given birth to
h astoundingly clever deception.
Wearted and impatient at last
the coroner gave up his questionings.
He turned to the jury with the accus-
toned formula:
Would any of vol gentlemen like to
ask this witness any questions?"
The foreman Of the jury wanted to
know If the witnesses son had any
birthmarks on him, or other palpable
means Of Identification.
Yes, sir" replied Jim Baker, "but is
mother!l tell O better'n me-she
knows best-about the vaccination
marks and ALL"
The foreman then asked the caro-
ner whether the jury would be allowed
to identify the marks. On being as
sured by the coroner that after adj
journment this very day every
would be taken to corroborate Jim
Bakers statement, the jury seemed
satisfied.
And the coroner called the next
witness.

CHAPTER XXI
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT CARE

AMI 1t1fIttE AXE WHO DO
NOT CARE.
For the Arst time in the whole course
of her life, Louisa Harris felt that con-
vention must be fonted and social du-
ties could not be fulfilled.
When the coroner, rising from his
seat. gave the signal for general ex-
odus, she had felt her father's firm
hand grasping her arm. and leading her
out OF the fog ridden. stuffy room into
the cold. gray passages outside.
The herd OF cackling geese were
crowdins round her. Heavens above,
how they cackled and gossipedl It
seemed as If the very floodgates OF a
noisy. bubbnng stream had been torn
asunder, and a whirlpool OF c%hatterdng
women been let loose upon the earth.
Convention, grim INC untractable,
tried to pull the string to make ali
puppets dance. But for once Louisa.
Harris rebelled. She closed her ears
responding with a mere curt nod to the
most gushing "Oh. Miss Harris! how
are your" which greeted her from ev-
cry side.
She turned her back resolutely on
convention. The slave for ono re-
belled against the ~taskmaster; the pup
pet refused to dance to the ever weary
Ing monotonous tune.
She had lost sight Of Luke the moment
the court rose. She supposed that his
solicitor. Mr.. Dobson, knowing the
ropes, had led him away from the reach
OF cackling geese by leading him
through some other more private way.
But h was FAR too dazad, too numb,
either to wonder or to be disappointed
at this. She felt as If she had pitched
head foremost down q long flight OF
stairs, and had only just a suficient
strength to pick herself up and not to
let other people see quite how severely
she had been bruised.
Mentally. morally, even physically,
she felt bruised from head to foot.
Colonel Harris oontrived to steer her
through the crowd: at the gate outside
seemed pure n i~nvigoraing in COM
pardson with that stuffy pen, wherein
the herd of cackling geese had found
It's happy hunting ground. Louisa drew
IN a long breath, filling her lungs with
fog, but feeling a little freer, less
choked in spite Of the CRIME which she
inhaled.
Il think" aid Colonel Harris now,
that you'd better go straight back to
the Langham and get some tea. You'll
feel better when you've had your tea"
L feel all right, dear" she said, try
Ing to smile.
S much the better he retorted
with an equal effort at cheerfulness.
I'll come along as soon as 1 cam"
asked.
I'll just go and have a talk to Tom"
he replied.
I'll come with you. 1 can wait in
the cab. I don't suppose that you'll be
long"
He tried to protest, but obviously
she had made up her mind. Perhaps
She did mo- like the idea Of going back
to the hotel alone. So he hailed a pass
ing cab and told the man to drive to
Scotland Yard.
He had Acknowledgment despite
former prejudices-
selected a taxicab. He wanted to see
Tom as soon as was possible.

Keeping Water Cold.

II you are in the habit of taking a
pitcher of iced water to your room on
retiring, try this: Procure a square
~pasteboard box with lid), sufficiently
large to hold you pitcher, and give 1t
two or three coats Of varnish on the
outside, allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. Place your pitcher of wa
ter in this box on retiring, putting the
lid on tightly, and you are sure of
having cold drinking water any hour
