 Antony began to feel in his pockets for his pipe and tobacco, and then suddenly stopped and stiffened to at tention. For a moment he stood listening. with his head on one side, holding up finger to bid Bill listen too.
 What is it?" whispered Bill.
 Antony waved him into silence, and remained listening. Very quietly he went down on his knees, and listened again. Then he put his ear to the floor He got up and dusted himself quickly, walked. across to Bill and whispered in his ear:

T know you don't agree with me-" Antony went on as Bill read, but you'll see that I'm right"
 Bill looked up and nodded eagerly. He had forgotten golf and Betty and all the other things which had made up his world lately. This was the real thing. This was life.
 We'll, he began deliberately "the whole point is that l know Mark. Now, Mark"
 But Antony was off the seat and letting himself gently down Into the ditch His intention was to crawl round it until the shed came in sight The footsteps which he had heard seemed to be underneath the shed; probably there was a trap-door of some kind>in the floor. Whoever 1t was would have heard their voices and would probably think 1t worth while to listen to what they were saving

 wealthy bachelor brother MARK ABLETT? Roberts body was on the floor of the locked office, Mark had disappeared and in the

 But there were mysterious cir cumstances The shot was heard just few moments before ANTONY GITLTNGHAM. gentleman adventurer and friend of BILL BEVERLEY. one Of Marks guests, entered the hall where he found
 MATT CAYLEY, Marks constant companion, pounding on the locked door and demanding admittance The two men entered the office through a window and discovered the body.

 The new sport is combination Of surf-boarding and aviation. The boards were lowed by the airplanes, the riders standing on the boards and cllnging to a single strand of rope while the planes charged through the water at speed of 45 miles an hour.
 Many upsets marked the experi- ment, most of the spills occurring after the flying boat had attained it's fullest speed and when clouds of spray raised by the boats blinded the rid CTS on the board

He took the bowls out, dropped one with a loud bang on the floor, said "Oh Lord"' and went on;
 T say Bill don't think I want tc play bowls after all"
 Well. why did you say you did grum bled Bill.
 Antony flashed a smile of apprecia- ton at him.
 Well, I wanted to when I said l did and now I don't want to-"
 Then what do you want to do?"
 There's a seat on the lawn. Let's go over there and bring these things along in case we want to play

 Its q rum business"
 You agree with Cayley-that it was an accident"
 "Yes. You see, I know Mark"
 "H'm." Antony produced a pencil and a piece of paper and began to write on his knee. but when he wrote, j lo Mark had shot his brother in fit of anger. and that Cayley knew, or any how guesses. this, and had tried to give his cousin a chance of getting away.
 Mind you.sI think he's right, I think it's what any of us would do. l shan't give it away, of course, but somehow there are one or two little hings which make me think that Mark really did shoot his brother-I mean other than accidentally

~ -"No, that's rather hopeless. isn't : it?" Bill thought again. Well" he {, said reluctantly, suppose Mark con- 7 fessed that he'd murdered li, ]. brother?'
 That's better, Bill. Don't h., ' afraid of getting away from the ace.- ' dent idea. Well then, VOLT new theory is this Mark confasses to Cayley that he shot Robert on pur- pose, and Cayley decides even at the risk of committing periars, and get ting into trouble himself. to help Mark to escape. Is that right?"
 Bill nodded.
 Well then. I want to ask you two questions. First, is 1t possible. as said before dinner, that any man :. would commit such an idiotic murder "a murder that puts the rope so very tightly round his neck? Second ly, if Cayley is prepared to perIure himself for Mark { as he has to. any way, now) wouldn't it be simpler for him to say that he was in the office all the time. and that Roberts death was accidental?'
 Bill considered this carefully. and then nodded slowly again.
 Yes my simple explanation is a wash out" he said NOW let's have yours
 Antony did not answer him. He had begun 10 think about something quite different.

 Antony laughed.

 "Yes"
 How"
 "How? How do ghosts appear? Cont know. They just appear
 "But how did Miss Norris appear suddenly-over five hundred yards of bare park?"
 Bil looked at Antony with open mouth.
 "I-I don't know" he stammered. "We never thought of that
 You would have seen her long be- fore, wouldn't you, if she had come the way we came?' |
 of course we should
 And that would have spoiled 1t rather. You would have had time to recognize her walk. She couldn't have been hiding in the ditch?"
 NO, she couldn't Betty ana walked around bit, We should have seen her.
 Then she must have been hiding in the shed. Or do you call 1t the summer house?"
 We had to go there for the bowls, of course She couldn't have been there
 "Oh,"
 Its dashed funny" said Bill, after an interval for thought. But it doesn't matter, does it? It has nothing to do with Robert"
 Hasn't it?"
 "1 say, has it?" said Bill, getting excited again,
 T don't know, We don't know what has, or what hasn't. But it has got something to do with Miss Norris. And Miss Norris" He broke off suddenly.
 What about her."
 Antony knocked out his pipe and got up slowly.

called farm to the city movement
The farm population Of the United
States on Jan. |, 1920, was 3l,6l4, 1903

no way of making close comparison
between the present farm population
and that Of ten years ago, but means

estimation Of the situation
Although in no proceeding census
was the farm population enumerated
separately from the rural, by assum

included in this last classification has
remained substantially the same, IT
is possible to arrive at figure which
