"Blood?" he repeated. thickly, as II
scarcely understanding. Then rea.
n1ation of the situation dawned upon
him. and he demanded, hoarsely:
Who are you? What are you doing
here?"
my name is Blaine, and I am here
to arrest the murderer Of Pennington
Lawton," the detective replied, his
dominant tones ringing through the
room.
"Blaine-Henry Blaine!" Rocka-
more stepped back pace or two. and
a sheer curled his thin lips. although
his face had suddenly paled. 1--WE
heard Of you. Of course-the interna-
tional meddler! What sort Of sensa-
ton are you trying to work up now,
my man. by such ridiculous asser-
ton? Pennington Lawton-murdered!
Why, all the world knows that he died
Of heart diseased"
"All the world seldom knows the
truth, but It shall, in this instance"
returned Blaine trenchantly. PEN
nington Lowton was murdered-pois-
oned by a draught Of prussic acid"
You're mad!" Rockamore retorted,
insolently He tossed the incriminat-
ing little vial carelessly on the blotter
OF the writing desk, and when he turn
ed again to the detective his face, with
it's high, thin, hooked nose and close
drawn brows, was vulture-like in its
malevolent intensity. "You don't de-
serve serious consideration! If you

ment, you'll only be laughed at for
your pains"
II shall prove it. The murderer's
midnight visit, his secret conference
with his victim, did not proceed I'M
witnessed. His motive is known, but
his act was futile. 1t came too late"
This Is all very interesting, no
doubt, or would be If it could be cred
tied. However, cannot understand
why you have elected to take me into
your confidence" Rockamore was
livid, but he controlled himself suf-
ficiently to speak with a stimulation Of
contemptuous boredom. Il came here
to see Miss Lawton, in response to an
urgent call from her; l don't know by
what authority you are here. but l do
know that do not propose to be fur

81 am afraid that you will find your
self very seriously annoyed before
this affair comes to an end, Mr.. Rock

butler summoned you this afternoon
by my instructions, and with graft
flying promptness you came and did
inst what I expected YOU would do
betrayed yourself irretrievably in your
haste to recover the evidence which
now will hang you!"
The other man laughed harshly. a
discordant, Earring laugh which jang-
led on the tense air.
your accusation Is too absurd to be
resented. I know that Miss Lawton
could not have been a party to this
melodramatic hoax"
Blaine walked to the desk before
replying. and taking up the crimson.

hoarsely, and he gave vent to another
sneering, vicious laugh. AS its echo
died in the room, Blaine could have
sworn that he heard quick gasp from
behind the curtains of the window
seat, but it did not reach the ears of
Rockamore.
The latter continued, his voice
breaking suddenly, with rage at last
uncontrolled:
'I could not, of course, know that
that bottle of red ink was a cheap,
theatrical trick Of mountebank, a
creature who is the laughing-stock Of
the press and public, in his idiotic at
tempts to draw sensational notoriety

this effort has failed! You have dared
to plant this outrageous, puerile trap
to attempt to ensnare me! You have
dared to strike bliliily, in your mad
thirst for publicity, at man infinitely
beyond your reach. Your insolence

would have been considered brutal and fiendish,
but today we look upon it as the weighed ex-
preston of military leader. The Germans are
selling every foot of ground they won in France
for as many British lives as their generals want
to pay for it. Rather commercial way of look
ing at it, but as both powers are really fighting
for commercial supremacy anyway the express
ion is in accord with the spirit of the war.
One cannot read the dispatches detailing the
frightful mortuary lists without hoping that the
conflict will soon end, and that men will devote
their time to the peaceful pursuit of industry,
commerce and agriculture.

DORA AND THE DWARF

Little Dora had hard time. Her
mother was dead, her sister, who was
selfish and lazy, made her do all the
work and sleep in the garnet. The ia.
Their went away SO early in the morn
ing that he knew nothing about what
went on at home, so poor Dora had to
keep her sorrows to herself.
II am going to a party tonight,
Dora," said the sister one cold eve.
ming. "You set the bread to rise for
breakfast, bring the water and fill the
wood box, then milk and keep up the
fire."
Then Sadie, for that was the girls
name, put on her best clothes and
went out banging the door behind her,
leaving Dora alone to do the work.
She brought the wood, MIXED the COW,
swept the room clean and then started
to the spring for water. When she
reached it she saw a dwarf struggling
to get his cloak from a thorn bush, on
which it had blown.
Dora gently undid the garment and
gave it to the dwarf. Il will mend it
for you," she said kindly.
All right, replied the dwarf.
Hang it on the chair by the fire and
l will come for it at midnight" With
the coat on her arm and the bucket
Of water on her head, Dora went
home and finished the rest of her
tasks. Then seated by the fire, she
sewed up the torn coat so neatly that
the rip hardly showed at all.
1t grew late. The wind blew, and
the sounds of people passing the road
were stilled. Hanging the coat on a
chair, Dora threw more wood on the
fire, then curled up on cot for a nap.
But before she got to sleep she heard
the creak Of an opening door, Pre-
tending she was snoring. she lay still,
looking out Of her half-closed eyes.
In came the dwarf. He saw the
neatly mended coat and the girl
watching him from the cot. Putting
the coat on, he walked over to the
window and stood looking out into
the night, then he began to sing:
Under the white stone down at the
spring
Lies treasure golden of ruby ring,
Wear it if your heart be true;

Paying the Price in Blood

The Allies are making their first heavy drive
along the Somme Thousands of men have been
butchered by the Entente Powers and by the
Central Powers. For every mile gained, cor

more to be buried in French SOIL

kissing his hand to Dora, the dwarf
opened the door and disappeared in

Early the next morning Dora ran
down to the spring and lifted the
stone. There on a bed Of softest moss

sparkled a great ruby as big as a

got It,
That's easy" laughed the older girl
I can turn up stone as well as you"
So off she ran to the spring, where
she saw the dwarf drinking.
Get out of my way, you lazy little
fellow" she said. Il am in hurry"
So she pushed the dwarf, who fell
tumbling to the ground. Without tax.
ing any notice of him, she kicked over
the stone and instead Of a ring being
there. big, ugly toad leaped up at
her. Frightened, she ran screaming,
while the dwarf broke out into a
laugh. She stumbled and fell, then
lay still crying with pain. Presently
Dora, missing her sister. came to
search and found her i'll with a deep
cut in her leg.
Dora gently helped Sadie home, put
her on the cot, brought her a cup of
hot milk and bathed the wounded leg.
This kindness made the older girl
ashamed of her long months Of mean
conduct.
The leg got well and Sadie was a
different girl. Dora found that the
ring brought her every kind of good
