The Adventure of the Empty House
ARTHUR CONAN
with The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
BY SIR ARTHUR

You may think that I read the
papers with some attention during my
sojourn in France. on the lookout for
any chance of laying him by the heels
SO long as he was free IN London, my
life would really not have been worth
living. Night and day the shadow
would have been over me, and sooner
Or later his chance must have come.
What could l do? / could not shoot
him at sight or | should myself be in
the dock There was no use appealing
10 a magistrate. They cannot inter
fere on the strength of what would
appear to them TO be a wild suspicion.
So | could do nothing. But I watched
the criminal news. knowing that soon
er or later I should get him. Then
came the death of this Ronald AGair.
My chance had come at last. Knowing
what | did, was it not certain that
Colonel Moran had done it? He had
played cards with the lad. he had fol
lowed him home from the club, he had
shot him through the open window
There was not a doubt of it. The
bullets alone are enough to put his
head in a moose. l came over OF once

knew, direct the Colonies attention
to my presence. He could not fail to
connect my sudden return with his
crime, and to be terribly alarmed. |
was sure that he would make an at
tempt to get me out Of the way at once,
and would bring round his murderOus
weapon for that purpose. | left him
an excellent mark in the window, and,
having warned the police that they
might be needed-by the way, Watson,
you spotted their presence in that
doorway with unerring acCuracy-I
took up what seemed to me to be a
judicious post for observation, never
dreaming that he would choose the
same spot for his attack. Now, my
dear Watson, does anything remain
for me to eXplain?"
Yes" said l. You have not made
it clear what was Colonel Moran's mo-
tive in numbering the Honorable Ro-
nald Adair?"
All! my dear Watson, there we
come into those realms O. conjecture,
where the most logical mind may be al
fault. Each may form his own ny
pothesis upon the present evidence,
and yours is as likely to be correct as
mine"
You have formed one them"
Il think that is not difficult to ex-
plain the facts 1t came out in evil
dence that Colonel Moran and young
| Adair had, between them, won a con-
siderable amount of money Now,
that | have been long aware. believe
that on the day Of the murder Adair
had discovered that Moran was cheat
ing. Very likely he had spoken to him
privately. and had threatened to ex-
pose him unless he voluntarily resign
ed his membership of the club and
promised not to play cards again. 1t
is unlikely that a youngster like Adair
would at once make a hideous scan

With the sale of many thousands of
Christmas seals reported in the sec
ond week of the annual anti-tubercu-
losis drive of the Red Cross, indica-

the city have sold over 1900 seals in
the week. This does not include the
amount sold by the parochial schools.
Their reports have not been received
Hundreds more have been sold by

POOR GERMANY?

The desperate efforts that have
 been made by Germany through if,
 successive governments, since tho signing of the treaty of Versailles. if
 escape payment of the reparations which it assumed under the terms ot
 that document have occupied much N of the attention of the allied powers
 and of the world; and they exhibit Germany in less favorable light. E perhaps, than any conquered nation < has hitherto occupied. But the skill with which it has spread it's propa- ganda in this connection has imposed upon not few, some of whom are among the worlds brightest intellects Pacifists have, as matter of course, sympathized with Germany's claims { that it is impossible to meet the de- mands of the allies.
 With May 1, the final day set for the payment of the first installment of separations, in full sight; and be-
 ing under no slightest delusions con-
 cerning the purpose of France to take military control of its indus tries, in case of default, Germany on April 20, made formal request that the president of the United States ar bitrate the whole issue. The sheer ity of any proposal that Germany might make is under suspicion but this one is tribute to the disinter- estedness of the United States, which is recognized the world over. The refusal of our government to act is an entirely proper recognition of our duty to our allies, but we doubt the ,ounter suggestion of "an immediate resumption of negotiations" which seems to indicate the preparation of l new treaty, based on negotiated ,eace. The terms of the existing reaty offer the solution; and the ime for Germany to pay has arrived.
 But can Germany pay? Let us see she can. In the North American Review for April Stephane Lauzanne ublishes figures taken from the Ger nan budget for 1920-21, itself, which rovides for a total military expendi- ure of four billion, three hundred nd twenty-four million marks. "And nce Germany is spending it, she lust certainly possess it," is the per 9ctly natural conclusion of the dis nguished editor of Le Matin. ''In- cad of devoting four billions and a llf," says he, 'in preparing for an- her war, devote to it only one bill s ,n, and pay the other three billions c Id half to the victims of the last ar you made" C Our noted visitor learns from the Il me source that the number of gov- n nment employees has been increased n om $500 in 1914, to 80,00O who are n cking the public teat today, and . at, despite the fact that not sin e German house was injured by ar, the government is spending ,arly four billions of marks in con
