little smile of sympathy and under
standing tugging at his mouth. Then,
as he recognized the ''Danse Macarbe'
and heard the dry rafting OF the
skeletons, he felt little shiver. Why
had she chosen to play that grisly
composition tonight of all nights :?
He Strengthened himself, turned out
the light and went down stairs and
out to the veranda. He knew that
Charles Sanderson had been taken to
his mothers room when he arrived
and that the disaster TO the pigeon
must have been made known to him
What he did not know was whether

covered to be a dummy He went out
along the deserted veranda to whers
his little eavesdropper's friend was

by the thin line OF light between the
drawn curtains of the sitting room
that people were within and crouch

There was only two voice speak

the voices of Charles Sanderson and
Fritz.

Il want you to appear to go to

Here thee door of the sitting room
opened and Charles came toward
them.
Would you havo believed it," con-
tinued Brent, as tho going on with

What Is this tragic tale MIR.

IT'S about an idiot who went three
In no trumps without a spade in his

Are you going TO have n rubber

strolling back into the sitting room
with them.

Are you? What sort OF tobacco

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dpsc" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.

 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli
 cious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to
 clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoon full given today saves sick child to-
 morrow.
