cattle attention has been given to
the qualities of growth and fatten-
ing that make for the profitable
production Of meat. Only such
uniformity Of color and minor
points are demanded as will serve
to distinguish the breed and give
uniformity Of appearance. The
standards adopted BY breeders Of
this class Of animals give relatively
small consideration to fancy points,
whereas poultry breeders consider
about one-half Of the value of their
birds to depend on color of feath-
ers alone. while the Judgment Of
shape is based upon the outline
produced by the feathers and not
on the true body shape The

 The important thing then for us to do" said l. trying to bring him from the abstract to the concrete. "is to find Hugh Crandall and also to dis cover who was his closest associate man or woman"
 Do you think so?" he asked enig- matically, adding second later, Cant you take me to see Miss Far rish?"
 Hardly another word passed be- tween us as the taxicab whirled us up Madison avenue to the generals home. I was thinking about Davis strange theories of crime and his opinion that this was a crime of the pair. felt sure that he, as well as I. must be convinced of Crandall's connection with the matter and surely his flight did not argue innocence. But if this was a crime of the pair, who was the other guilty person? Whom did Davis suspect? He had said that it might be either two men or man and wom- an. A woman? Could 1t be that he

 Miss Parish she said. 'I think your sister is recovering conscious ness. l thought you would like to know it and to be at her side in case she speaks.
 Though Davis was some distance away his acute ear must have caught her words. He turned and was up the stairs in a flash. Louise convulsively caught my hand. The barrier between us was swept away I knew then it was only fear that she had been for ward in showing her affection. Hand in hand we raced up the stairs after the inspector. and ranged ourselves on the other side of the bed from him.

Katharine Speaks,


 If l had been alone I would have gone directly to the Parrish home. I was anxious about Louise. had not seen her since the night before, though l had telephoned her early in the morning-l greatly regretted having to leave her so much by herself in such distressful circumstances. I thought it wiser now to prepare her beforehand for the inspectors com ing. l wanted him to see the Parrish home. l felt that If he met Louise and realized the luxury and comfort in which the family lived he would better appreciate the mystery and my determination 10 solve 1t.
 suggested luncheon at Martin and Davis assented As soon as we had obtained table excused my self and hastened to the telephone Louise told me that the condition of both her father and Katharine was practically unchanged. 1 briefly sum- marized my mornings work and asked if l might bring the inspector after luncheon.
 By all means, said Louise, bring him right over want to meet him and there may be some things I can tell him which will aid him.
 When l returned to the cafe on the Broadway side, where had left the inspector, l found him abstractedly rolling little pellets of bread and plac ing them in various positions on the cloth. So absorbed was he In his oc- cupation that he hardly seemed to note my return. His flying fingers would hastily mold three or four pellets In as many seconds. Placing them in row. he would eye them intently Occasionally he would swoop down on some unoffending pellet and sweep It 10 the floor. Two or three times tried to interrupt him to learn what b. wished to eat. but each time hs

forehead to suggest her wound, lay the silent figure of Katharine Parrish. The pallor of her face seemed only to enhance her beauty. and though her eyes were closed, her long dark lashes still gave expression. As We watched. she began stirring restlessly and her hands twitched nervously. Suddenly her eyes opened wide. not with the light Of intelligence, but with the bril- lianey Of hysteria or the excitement of fever. She made an intellectual at tempt to rise in bed, but she was too weak. Sinking back on the pillow she shrieked: Promise me. Hugh, promise me, you'll do it at onees
 After that one sentence she relapsed into unconsciousness. l feared for a moment that she was dead. The doc tor hastened to her side and began to feel her pulse and listen to her heart It seemed many minutes before he turned to us with a reassuring whis- per:
 Tt Is nothing serious-a relapse to be expected after that outburst Her heart IS stronger than l expected. She will not likely regain consciousness for many hours. but there Is no imms- diate danger"
 His manner. rather than his words, invited us to go, so Louise and l fol- lowed Davis from the room.
 The inspector seemed to have for gotten his haste to depart. He sat down abruptly on divan in the up- per hall, with his face resting in his hands. and gave himself up to intent thought.
 Louise and I stood a little apart, dis cussing In whispers Katharines strange outcry. What could she have meant?
 She meant Crandall, of course" said Louise. She mentioned Hugh did you hear it?"
 nodded assent.
 Probably she was repeating con- yersation she had with him just be- fore she shot herself" suggested. What do you suppose she wanted him to promise her2'
 Louise shook her head. raeked my brain in vain for some theory to fit her words to her own desperat Q act, to Crandall's flight. to her fa- ther's terror. judged from Davis abstraeted manner that he, too, was similarly engaged
 Everything" I said to Louise, 'ev- cry single thing We have learned points to Grandall's connection with the mystery that has hung over your father and Katharine When We have found him we shall learn what it was l am more and more convinced that he is guilty of some crime, something terrible, something that your father and sister knew"
 The inspector laughed aloud
 We turned toward him, I in indigna- tion, Louise in astonishment, to find him looking at us with an amused smile.
 Don't be too sure," he said qulzzl- cally. "Crandall doesn't seem to have been left-handed"
