an excellen; dinner. during which the
American showed himself 10 be- a bonn

man of the world. And over 'he cot

outline az what had taken place since
he first rot mixed up in thc affair.
The American listened in Silence,
though auHZement shone ON his face
as the ~toly proceeded. Only when
Hugh had finished. and early arrivals
for supper were beginning In ill the
restaurant. did he sum up the matter
as he SAW il.

is To put our noses inside that ledger,
and see the book of the words. Itll

And as Hugh switched of the cleo
trio light in his bedroom, having first
seen that his torch was ready to hand
in case OF emergency, he was think
ing Of the detectives words. Getting
hold OF the ledger was not going to be
easy-far from it; but the excitement
Of the chase had fairly Obsessed him
by now. He lay in bed, turning over
in his mind every possible and i'm
possible scheme by which he could
get into the secret center room at The
Elms. He knew the safe the ledger
was kept in but safes are awkward
propositions for the ordinary mortal
10 tackle. Anyway, it wasn't a thing
which could be done in a minutes
visit; he would have to manage at
least a quarter or half an hours I'M

out loud. And, at that moment, a
fly pinged past his head.
He felt singularly wideawake, and,
after a while, he gave up attempting
to go to sleep. The new development
which had come to light that evening
was uppermOSt in his thoughts; and
as he lay there, covered only with a
sheet, for the night was hot, the
whole vile scheme unfOlded itself be-
fore his imagination. The American
was right in his main idea-of that
he had no doubt; and in his minds

once again he seemed ts hear the toe

One thing. at any rate. N'as certain
the other occupant Of the room was
human. and with that realization all
his nerve returned. There would be
time enough later on to find out how
he got there. and what those strange
pinging noises had been caused by.
Just at that moment only one thing
was on the program; and without
sound he crept round the bed toward
the cupboard. to pGt that one thing in
10 effect in his usual direct manner.
Twice did lie hear the little wis

Small Flock OF
Laying Hens Is
Valuable Asset

The keeping OF small flock OF
laying hens on n town or village lot
or in a city backyard is an important
branch of poultry keeping" says one
of Ardmore's enthusiastic chicken fam
ciers, and though the value from each
flock Is small, the aggregate Is large.
Continuing he says:
"rhe eggs and the fowls from such
flock may be produced at rela-
lively low cost. because Of the pos
sibity of utilizing table scraps and
kitchen waste which otherwise would
be thrown away.
"a small flock cf hens, even rs few
as six or eight, should produce eggs
| enough when used economically, for q
family of four or five persons through.
out the year. except during the moult.
ing period of the fall and early win
| ter.
by the preservation Of surplus eggs
laid during the srring ana early sum-
rner this period OF scarcity can be
provided for. The keeping Of pullets
instead Of hens also lnsures the pro-
ducticn OF eggs during this time.
mot only will eggs from the home
flock reduce the cost of living, but the
superior freshness and quality Of the
eggs are in themselves we'll worth
the effort expended.
Eggs are a highly nutritious food
ond are so widely used as to be almost
indispensable, and an occasional
chicken dinner is rellshed by every
one
"Where conditions render it feasible
and cheap. small flocks OF poultry
should be kept to a greater extent
than at present by families in village,
and towns. and especially in the sub
urbs Of large cities.
"The need for this extension Of
poultry raising is particularly great
in those sections where the consump
ton OF poultry products exceeds tho
production, with the result that prices
are high.
