what hidden meaning lay
back of this last speech, but he made
NO comment.
"You were the last person known to
be with your father on the night of

The new head of the family looked
WY serious. "Yes, that's true" he
said: II was. had dinner with Mary
and him"
"Was that unusual?" inquired the de-
bect1ve.
The young man hesitated bare in
slant "Well, you know, suppose that
father and 1 didn't hit it of any too

Kayton stared at the lawyer for a
moment or two as if he had never seen
him before His abstraction seemed
complete. Then his eyes slowly re-
turned to Argyle's and he said slowly:
"Then you don't know of any way in
which you can corroborate your state
ment that you left here about 10 o'clock
and spent the rest of the night in your
studio?'
Bruce was silent, and kayton waited.
"No-no, l DON'T said the young man
in a low voice.
Nobody saw you, you think-nobody
saw you leave here?'
Again there was the barest hesita-
tion and the low voice.
"No-no."
"You didn't see 'Finley?' Kayton's
eyes were on the young mans face
with piercing keenness, as if to read
unspoken answers.
mo, didn't see Finley at ALL" This
answer came swiftly, as the detective
expected it would. He shrugged his
shoulders and half turned away.
'Mr. Argyle" he said coldly, Il don't
want to be put in the position Of cross
examining you. If you are not going
to give me your confidence it would be
better for me to drop the whole mat

Argyle flushed slightly and his eyes
shifted.
"Well-I''- he began.
"As a matter of fact" broke in Kay
ton abruptly, lust who was it that
you thought you saw?'
Argyle's uneasiness increased. "Well,
1 don't want to say that l saw any
one," he said reluctantly.
You understand" said Kayton, with
a stern frown, that it might be very
important that some one should have
seen you leave this house."

declared with the air Of a man doing
an extremely unpleasant duty. ~

Destructive Man.

An English scientist, Sir Ray Lam

most active instrument of destruction
that has ever appeared on earth; that
he has burned up forests. produced
deserts, polluted rivers, He says that
the most repulsive of the destructive
results Of human expansion is the
poisoning of rivers and the conse-
quent extinction Of fish aid nearly ev-
cry other living thing that is in them.
He predicts sterility to meadows and
hillsides drenched with nauseating
chemical manures from factories. The
New York Medical Record speaks in
like fashion and says that these words
Of the British scientist should awake

for in no country of the world have
the beauties of nature been SO wan
toniy defaced as here, and in no land
have the rivers and lakes been so pol
luted to satisfy the greed of the indi.
vidual Added to this is the disaster
that will certainly come to the masses
for such fragrant disregard of the
health OF the people.
