Warming Up a Joint.

The best way to warm up a joint is to wrap it in thickly greased paper and keep it covered while in the oven. By having it covered thus the steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry, and the joint will get hot through in less time

take for a penny. Without a moments
hesitation he seized the box ere it had
gone too far, picked out the two

the collecting to proceed. Later, on
making a chance inspection of his
money, he found he had two forms.

Then he strobe to the bell and rang it

Going on. sir?" repeated Parks, with
Il look of Amusement.
Then his glance fell upon the hud-

"Why-why." he stammered, that's

something Of his self possession. May
be he was just looking for a quiet

1t was Il shrewd thrust and one that
Godfrey might well have WINGED under.
He himself had been accused more than

had persuaded him years before to
quit the detective force and take serv-

SimmOnds?"
II think" said Simmonds. who. if
he possessed an Imagination. never
permitted it to be suspected. that
those little cuts on the hand are mere
ly an accident. They might have been
caused in half a dozen ways. Maybe
he hit his hand on something when he
fell: maybe he jabbed it on a buckle:
maybe he had a boil on his hand and
lanced it with his knife"
What killed him. them" Godfrey
demanded.
Poison. and it's in his stomach.
Well find it there"
How about the odor?" Godfrey per-
sisted.
"He spilled some of the poison on his
hand as he lifted it to his mouth. May
be he had those cuts on his hand and
the poison in1amed them. Or may
be he's got some kind of blood dis

Goldberger nodded his approval, and
Godfrey smiled as he looked at him.
