something odd about its appearance
and the detective bent closer.
The brass about the keyhole was
dulled save where a tiny, Jagged
scratch or two glinted and there were
traces upon it Of a CONCEALED, greasy
substance at sight Of which Miles
drew a quick-involuntary breath.
Wax Some one within the last two
days had taken an impression of that
keyhole, some one who was too care
less or in too great haste to remove
the evidence OF the act. What could
Roger have stored there which would
be of such interest to anybody but
himself?
Luncheon was over when the de-
tective heard the telephone ring again
and with a muttered excuse he
fastened toward the library, but the
sound Of Rogers voice in reply ar
rested him before he reached the
threshold.
Eyes? This is Roger Drake
speaking What is that?" The
receiver fell with a clatter to the desk
but it was evident that Roger had re-
trieved It for in a moment his voice
came again. shriH with something
very like terror.
'"Who are you? You must
be mad My brother" There
was a long pause and then the one
word: Never"
1t ended IN a strangling gasp. a
chair creaked heavily and then a dry,
muffled sob reached the listeners
ears. He peered In cautiously be-
tween the curtains to behold the
scientist sprawled Imply In a chair,
his arms outflung across the desk and
his white head pluowod upon them
while the thin shoulders shook spas
medically.
Dusk was settling down and moth
ing untoward had occurred to break
the brooding stiffness Of the house
when all at once a womahs shrek
rang out. The detective rushed from
his room and down the stairs but
just as he reached the floor below
another door was flung wide in his
face and a man dashed out. almost
coludlng with him.
Miles halted for an instant. taken
aback by sheer surprise for the
opened door was that OF Roger s
store room and the man who had
emerged was Andrew, He was with
out coat or waistcoat, his sleeves
rolled back and his shirt and collar
grimy with dust, a smudge OF which
lay across his cheek giving a gro
tesque twisted expression to his fea-
lures.
What's happened2'' he roare5.
stop that yowling Hltty, and stand
aside!"
At the head Of the main staircase
the maid was kneeling before a re-
cumbent form. wrlnging her hands
and sobb!ns Historically, but Andrew
seized her arm and thrust her VIC
lently aside
Roger, old mant-Eere. pull your
self together Hitty, and call Carter
or william"
The detective stepped forward.
What is It. sir? Oh. Is Mr.. Roger
Ill? Can I be Of any assistance?'
Yes. Help me carry him to his
room and then get my sister. No
need to call a doctor; he's had these

was round and there were two round
windows. one on each side Of the door
The roof was shaped just like a funny
little hat with a button on the top.
As l walked near the bottom of the
stump 1 heard some one cry out Of
one Of the windows: Hey, do you
want to rescue a fairy Princess who
is shut up in this little house?'
And looked up and saw a funny
little man with a long nose and two
bright little eyes and a red cap look
ing out of one Of the windows. And
you will remember that at that time,
I always said just the opposite of what
I meant, so I said to the funny little
man. "Nol I do not wish to rescue
the Fairy Princess
Come up the ladder. them said
the funny little man." so I climbed
up the ladder and walked into the

Miles slipped out into the garden
where he found Scottie at work among
the rose bushes.

Something that has all but taken

that I did not think it was. II like
you for shutting the pretty little Prin-
cess up in the closet"
I'm very glad to hear You say
So" he said to me, i've got to go
to a meeting of the magic workers to-
night and I want some one to stay
here and see that the Fairy Princess

not escape" I told the little man,
meaning all the time that 1 would see
that she did escape.
Il sat down and read a book for a
long, long time to make sure that he
had got far enough away, then I I'M
locked the closet and there was the
prettiest, the lovelest, dearest little
Fairy Princess you could imagine. If

have kissed her. but then I reTnem-
bered that would not be very polite.
I'm sorry that I unlocked the closet
door and let you escape.' 7 told
her. The pretty little Fairy Princess
laughed little tinkly laugh and went
to a little box behind the door aDd

something which Vicente Wizard

took away from me, and you may
have it.
" I would love to have the stick I
told the Fairy Princess, meaning that
[ didn't care for it at all. This
seemed TO please her very much, SO
took the stick"
What lovely adventurer' cried
Raggedy Ann. THE Fairy Princess
actually escaped from Vicente Wiz
ard?"
"Oh, yesr' tho Fuzzywump replied.
"She just thanked me and flew away
and I climbed down the ladder and
went home. The next day YOU two
Raggedys came along and now TIE
stick belongs to you"
Butt objected Raggedy Ann, per
haps the stick is a magic stick and
you should keep it,
ooh, nor' the Fuzzywump laughed
II do not believe it can be a magical
stick. 1t is just a common twigi Any
way do not want it. So it is
Raggedy Andy's.'
"All right" Raggedy Ann replied
But all the same I believe it had
something to do with changing the

Raggedy Ann was quite right.-Copy

formerly lived in Plymouth, which
Lady Astor represents in Commons.
Some of her constituents opposed to

the Unionist Party to put its own can

the coalition.

TO APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE

Richard Weglcn, president OF Conn-
ell. said today he would appeal to the
next session of the Legislature to hnv"
n larger portion Of the fines collected
for the violation of the motor vehicle
laws returned 10 the city rather than

tcnsive street building operations In TIA"
city.
A demand will also be made. Mr..
Wcglcin said. to have established In
Philadelphia. an Office for the issuing
Of automobile licenses.
The State law provides that for all
but two of the possible twenty nine
violations Of the motor vehicle code the
fines imposed go to the State for road
building
But these fines. Mr. Wcgcin said,
! have been returned to the city treas
ury by most of the magistrates. and the
state is now starting action to secure
all the money that is due it according
to the law in connection with the ve-
hicle law fines.
! "ThiS may involve ~ considerable
sum-" said Mr.. Weglen. II do rot
know for how many years these fines
have been left uncolIectcd by the
| State
In view Of this situation Mr.. Wegeln
emphasized the necessity of getting i'm :
mediate action in the Legislature tO
have tn" motor laws amended. Mayor
Moore holds the same opinion.
Il believe we should GO to the next

ask that assistance be given to Phila :

twenty nine possible violations Of tn,
State Motor Vehicle Act. passed Il.
summary convictions or misdelnea nOrs
| namely, the violation of the speed limi,
and the excess weight of trucks, are re.
quired to be turned over to the Stat,

Mr.. Weglein said that prior to tn,
