more than the sensation which Mrs Rheinholdt had
hoped for. In her desire to show him ample honor
she seldom left his side.

has some specimens Of beetles"
"Beetles,' the professor declared, with ex-
citement, occupied precisely two months of my
time while abroad BY all means. Mrs. Rhein-
holdt,"
We shall have to go quite to the back Of the
house" she explained, she led him along the
darkened passage.
The professor smiled acquiescently. His eyes
rested for a moment upon her necklace.
You must really permit me, Mrs. Rhenholdt,'
he exclaimed, ito admire your wonderful stones!
l am judge of diamonds and those three or four
in the center are, should judge, unique"
She held them out to him. The professor laid
the end OF the necklace gently in the palm Of his
hand and examined them through a horn-rimmed
eyeglass.
They are wonderful" he murmured, wonder
full! Why"
He turned away a little abruptly They had
reached the back of the house and door from
outside had just been opened. A man had crossed
the threshold with coat his arm and was
standing now looking at them.
How extraordinary" the professor remarked
rs that you, Craig?"
Yes, sir" he replied There is a rain Storm
SO ventured to bring your macintosh"
Very thoughtful the professor murmured ap-
provingly. Il have Weakness he went on turn
ing to his hostess, "for always walking home after
an evening like this. In the daytime am content

They reached a little room in the far corner of
the house. Mrs. Rhenholdt apoogized as she
switched the electric lights.
1T is a queer little place to bring you to-" she
said, but my husband used to spend many hours
here, and he would allow anything to be
moved. You see, the specimens are in these
cases."

Then still. quiet voice from the outside of the
little circle interviewed.
Instruct your servants, Mr. Rheinholdt, to lock
and bar all the doors of the house, the professor
suggested. NO must leave it until have
heard your mothers story"
Il had just taken the professor into the little
room my husband used to call the museum" Mrs.
Rhelnholdt explained, her voice still shaking with
agitation. Il left him there to examine some speci-
mems of beetles. l thought that I would come back

way. was about half way across it when sudden

Il heard no footsteps, saw one Mrs. Rhein-
holdt repeated. The professor turned away

to telephone to my friend, Mr.. Sanford Quest. the
crininologist. An affair unusual this might
attract him. You will me-"
The professor met the great criminologist and
his assistant in the hall upon their arrival. He
took the former at once by the arm.

He laid down the receiver. He looked around
him like man in nightmare.

him.
That is most fortunate" the professor pro-
nounced. Il remember now that had no change
with which to pay him. Il must go back Look
after my brother. And, Craig, telephone at once
to Mr.. Sanford Quest. Ask him to meet at the
museum in twenty minutes Tell him that nothing

The taxicab drove off, glad enough to have
return fare. In about half hours time the
professor strobe up the steps of the museum and
hurried into the office. There little crowd of

manner completely changed. Without taking the
slightest further notice of his hostess, he adjusted

Thet professor gazed banl1ly at the empty box.
Nothing left except the SMELL voice from the
open doorway remarked.
They glanced around. Quest was standing there,
and behind him Lenora. The professor welcomed
them eagerly
This is Mr.. Quest, the great criminoogist" he
explained to the curator.
Quest strolled thoughtfully around the room,
glancing out of each Of the windows in turn. He
kept close to the wall, and when he had finished he
drew out magnfyng glass from his pocket and
made brief examination of the box Then he
asked few questions of the curator, pointed
one Of the windows to Lenora and whispered few
directions to her. She at produced what
seemed to be foot rule from the bag which she
was carrying. and hurried into the garden.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS

Organization and cooperation CON.
stitute the master key that unlockS the
door to the development of prosperity
in Southwest Louisiana.
This section is above all an agricul.
tural section and generally diffused
prosperity depends absolutely upon the
successful development of our princi.
pal industry, which is agriculture.
And be it known that the term agricul-
ture, as here employed means some.
thing more than cotton, rice and sugar
cane.
1t applies to all products that may be
produced successfully on the farm, in
GLIDING live stock and dairy products,
swine, sheep, poultry, fruits and vege-
tables. The day Of the Single.crop
system has gone and the farmer who
hopes to succeed must diversity and
build up his land.
And when the problem Of diversified.
ton is confronted success implies or.
ganizdton and cooperation. This is
necessary in order that there may be
some system and degree of uniform.
ity--lf that term may be employed in
connection with Investigation.
Marketing is the essential problem in
successful diversified ton. Likewise, 1t
is the most difficult problem connected
with it and the highest degree of in
telligent cooperation is necessary to
the solution of the marketing problem.
Ana it is to enlist the earnest and
active cooperation of every business
and agricultural interest in Southwest
Louisiana in the task of solving that
problem that this Bureau is planning
an energetic and comprehensive cam.
paign.
It's proposed Division of Better
Farming and Markets is an absolute
necessity to the people; to the banker
as we'll as to the farmer, TO the merch.
ant as well as the livestock man.
Therefore, in order to achieve success
the cooperation of all those interests
must be given heartily to President
ChappuiS and the directors who shall
accompany him in his notable campaign
in behalf of Southwest LouiSiana'S
prosperity.
The three divisions of Better Farm.
ing and Markets; of Drainage, Trans.
portation and HIGHWAYS and of Public.
ity, immigration and Industry, which it
is proposed to establish, will constitute
an equipped organization such as is not
found elsewhere in the South and which
can be of infinite service to every inter.
est of this section. 1t will come into
intimate touch with every interest and
industry with expert help in every
emergency.
We have drifted aimlesSly along until
blue ruin Stares lis in the face. Coop
erat on, the cooperation of everybody,
is what is required to place our business
and industry upon a solid foundation.
We can do this by putting our com.
combined strength behind the South.
west Louisiana Development Bureau
and putting it in position where it can
to this great work. 1t is up to each
one to say whether he will respond to
the call Of President ChappuiS, or shirk
and throw the burden on his neighbor.
Let's all have hand in this great
Prosperity Campaign.
