CALIFORNIA OFFICIAL
SOUNDS WARMING NOTE

DIR. A. j. Cook, State horticultural
commission, appeared before the
board of supervisors yesterday with
the announcement that unless coun-
ty horticultural commissioner is ap-
pointed and an ordinance enacted pro-
hibiting the shipping from this city
of potatoes infected with the tuber
moth, California will soon be quaran-
tined by all of the states now receiv-
ing our potatoes, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Cook declared that
such a quarantine already has been
established by Idaho, Bristish Colum-
bia and Colorado, and that Texas, one
of our largest consumers, has threat
ened to take the same step unless San
Francisco can guarantee that no more
infected tubers will be shipped from
this city.
Cook pointed out that there is now
no method of stopping such ship
ments unless he should exercise his
authority and stop all potato ship
ments. The board Immediately re-
quested the health committee to con-
fer with DR.. Cook with view to
framing the ordinance he suggested,
but it was further suggested that if
possible the present market inspectors
be made to do the work proposed by
the county horticultural commission,
for whom no provision is made in the
budget.

She came and passed her through his @Jermyn

She led the way into the library. He followed her

some brandy and made him drink it.

@No" he answered.; shave you?"
She nodded and glanced anxously toward the door,

like a man. For these few moments, at anv
rate, you must look the facts in the face and
put sentiment to one side l would not for
the world say a thing against Sybil Cluley;
but it is quite certain that Aynesworth knew
something about her past that she herself was
exceedingly anxious that he should not reveal
to you. That much l think you must half
know yourself No, don't trouble to inter-
rupt me. 1t is the truth. You remember
that she tainted last night at something she
saw in the Tatler. She tainted horror
stricken at the idea that as soon as Aynes-
worth saw that little notice of her career he
would be supplied with the missing link in
the chain of his memory. Jermyn, an hour
afterward that interview was cut out of every
illustrated paper in the house. Aynesworth
sent to Norwich today-you saw his man re-
turning on his motor bicycle-and got copies
Directly he saw them he remembered. You
saw how she changed toward him. She flirted
with him fagrantly at dinnertime. She did
her best to bribe him to silence. He probably
wanted more than she was willing to give
That isn't my affair. At this moment it isn't
yours. Anyway, there is no doubt that they
quarreled in the billiard room this evening.
Look at it any way you like, Jermyn. Even
the angels are foolish sometimes, you know,
and this is the one moment in your life when,
for your own sake, you must face the truth
There isn't the faintest doubt in the world
that Sybil Cluley shot Aynesworth sooner
than have him tell you of little episode that

feet faith in her"
u can't believe it!' Jermyn exclaimed.
~Sybil was afraid of Aynesworth, I know.
There was something that she was going to
tell something she will tell me-"
Rubbish" Lucille replied. @She never
meant to tell you, or if she did it wasn't the
whole truth that you were to hear. Those
two quarreled in the billiard room, and Aynes-
worth was found shot. Who else in the whole
world, do you suppose, could have done it?
Is there single person you can think OFF

muttered.

thing terrible has happened here you too hastily

any dispute that Miss Sybil Cluley and Lord L
may have had but if l were you, l think
should conceal those very obvious signs of a
struggle"
The mans calm tone was having its effect
upon Jermyn. He began to realize the situa-
ton more clearly. The sick feeling of horror
that had almost overcome him was still there
but he was feeling better able to withstand it.
"You are right" he muttered Il was a
fool not to think of it."
He stopped down and groped about the
floor near where Lord Lakenham was lying
There were half a dozen crushed roses from
the bouquet that he had sent to her room be-
fore dinner lying just underneath the table,
a little rosette of ivory satin, fragment of
lace from her scarf. He picked them up
jealously and stuffed them into his pocket.
Smith looked on approvingly. Little
pieces of circumstantial evidence like that"
he remarked, will sometimes hang an inno-
cent person. If Lord Lakenham has been
shot by anybody, and that certainly seems to
be the case, the young lady must take her
chance. There is no need, however, to prejr-
dice it by handing up testimony like that"
@She didn't do it," Jermyn gasped. "Sybi
would never have hurt anyone!"
@All the more reason then," Smith pointed
out, @for concealing those little scraps of evil
dence, which certainly seem to point toward
a struggle. And now, if there is really such
a person in the house as doctor, wouldn't it
be best for you to bring him?'

tapped him on the shoulder.

The doctor looked around, a little surprised.
He was heavy man, and his instincts were
not particularly quick. He was also enjoying
his bridge exceedingly. as it the telephone?"
he inquired irritably. a will answer it as

@My dear Jermyn," Lucille exclaimed,

The doctor still sat placidly in his place.
Jermyn stretched out his arm, sweeping some
of the cards from the table.
@Come with me this moment, Brownrigg!"
he said, gripping his shoulder. @Never mind
your hand. 1t is not telephone message
