This summary dismissal nearly
took my breath away. but I rose and
went off nonchalantly, hiding my

Immediately after luncheon the de-

commonplace looking man., of a

and a good grasp Of the logical. He
was quick and alert of manner and
went about his work in a systematic
and methodical way. The household
was divided as to the necessity for
his presence. Morland and Barbara
seemed to want him. but Anne and
Archer refused to see him unless alb.
solutely necessary. \
For some reason, Barclay LAsseter
appeared deeply incensed at his
presence. Indeed. the secretary alb
ruptly took his hat and went home
when Mr. Markham arrived. saying
he would return for the inquest.
For myself, I listened eagerly to
the detectives opinions. OF course
he was allowed immediate ccess to

that no one could have entered this
room and left it., locked as it was.
And yet, if not a case of suicide,
some one did do SO. 1T is for me to
discover how"
MIR. Markham made this speech
with such an air of having made a
discovery, that l was not surprised
when Morland said, b%rusquely:
1--WE. knew already, MIR. Markham,
that my fathers death was either a
suicide or a murder. We knew. too,
that this >room was so securely
barred and bolted that we had to
force an entrance. Now We have
sent for you to learn If possible the
truth Of the matter. But what we
want, is not the pro-pounding of the
PROBLEM. but it's solution"
Mr.. Markham did not appear at all
offended by this, and only said,
"Quite so, quite so, Mr.. Van Wyck.

ALIENS.

Among the proposals made at the
American Legion convention was
recommending that aliens in the Unit
ed States who fail to take steps to-
ward naturalization after a reasonable
time be deported.
This method OF treatment has been
proposed many times There is no
probability hat it will ever become
Incorporated in the policy Of the
American government, and it ould
not be adopted. The proposal is an
example OF extreme and lloglcal
thought growing out of natural re-
sentiment over undesirable conditions
which ought to be remedied in some
other way.
The foreigner in the United States
who refuses to obey the laws OF the
country. and who conducts himself
in such a manner as to be a menace
to the peace and prosperity Of the
nation, should be sept back to the
country from which he came, the
sooner the. better. But the territory

to the orderly citizen of another coun-
try as we hope and expect the terri
tory of any other country to be to
our own l~aw-abiding people who for
any reason choose to take up their
residence temporarily DR. permanently
abroad.
It is true that the alien who comes
to the United States to live perma-
nently is doing himself an injustice
and is failing in his duty to the COM
munity in which he lives, if he does
not become identified as a citizen
with the people among whom he has
cast his lot. But to attempt to dis
criminate, and to prescribe conditions
is sure to lead to much more injur'
ious conditions than can possibly arise
Grom the presence OF a few unnatural
isea foreigners who behave them
.s..cs properly and respect and ODE,

the Far East, according to a letter
from Secretary Alexander to Chair
man Benson of the shipping board.

Far East Commercial Intelligence.
THE nature Of the discrimination

withstanding its effectiveness, that i.
is almost impossible to take formal
action. The best solution of the matter
seems to De direct transportation of
American goods in American ships
wherever possible" the secretary said.
REPORTS have reached the depart

tend to show that American shipments
to Kobe in Japanese bottoms for
irans-shipment to Chinese ports have
been subjected to delays and excessive
charges for handling and re-shipping

Tn sure he did not. David had
no a for such an act. He was a
mar fond of life; and beside, he had
this project of the library in mind,
and he was more than anxious to car
~ it through. There is no reason
there can be no reason-why he
should kill himself. But Raymond
and her white brows drew tensely,
"how could anyone kill him and get

til I'm nearly crazy. You see I
know how perfectly impossible it is
to get into that when the door

my duty to try to make peace with

even tried to get in at a window,
while he would sit inside and smile
at me in 'mockery."
What you have been through
with that mani" I exclaimde.
Yes; and yet he was often very
good to me. At times he was q per.
feet brute, but it was because Of his
really ungovernable temper. Then
again he would fairly spoil me with
kindness. But of late his kindness
had become more and more rare, and
he was sarcastic and cruel much OF
because l want you to understand,
that while l respected and admired
David in many ways. I cannot mourn
him as I would mourn a man

This admission brought Joy to my
own heart, but I knew this was no

as a matter Of precaution, I hurried-

COUNTRY OF BEE KEEPERS

In Lithuania, when a bee stlngs

And almost literally, at ihas. because
1t is sin to kill bee and no one

As result Of their natural fondness
for bees, Lithuanians, with the growth
Of their economic system, have devel-

custom to ali important industry.
Thousands Of barrels of honey are ex-
ported from Llthuania annually.
Almost everyone In Lithuana has
at least one bee hive. Sometimes they
have swarms Of thousands. But 1t Is
