Brendon, and Inspector
Halfyard answered that they had not.
1.-TWO constables were here last
night after L o'clock-the men sent
from Princetown when Mrs. Pendean
gave the alarm he said. "They
looked round with an electric torch
and found the blood. One came back;
the other stopped on the spot all
night"
Brendon then examined the ground
Immediately outside the kitchen door.
For twenty yards he scrutinized every
inch and presently found indications
Of a motor bicycle.
Half an hour later one Of the con-
stables approached, saluted Mark and
made a statement.
They've pulled down the wall, sir.
and found nothing there; but Full
ford, the mason, says that a sack is
missing"
Mark came back presently out of
the rain which had now begun to fall
steadily-but not before he had
strolled as far as the fishing pools and
seen clear marks Of naked, adult feet
on the sandy brink.
Nothing that he regarded as OF
value resulted from inspection Of the
remaining rooms and Brendon pres
emily decided that he would return
to Princetown. He showed, Halfyard
the footprints by the waser and had
them protected by a tarpaulin.
What's your idea?" asked Half
yard.
IT should say we have to do with
an unfortunate man who's gone mad, -
replied the detective; ''anG a mad
man doesn't take long to find as a
rule. 1 think it's murder, right
enough, and I believe we shall find
that this soldier, who's had shell
shock, turned on Pendean and cut his
throat, then, fondly hoping to hide
the crime, got away with the body.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Neariy all the speculative interest was concentrated dur Ing the past week in the leading petroleum issues as the result of the further ad- vances in crude oil and petroleum prod ucts The advances were followed by es- inmates Of earnings of many of the pro- ducing, refining and distributing com panies. Prarie Oil and Gas led this group
 making an advance up to yesterday of 2S points to 263. Southern Pennsylyania Oil followed with an advance of 1b points to lso ana Kentucky Oil made a gain of s points to lO5. There were large transac- tons all through the week In Standard oil or Indiana, which rose points to 66 6h

Another Sharp Upturn Features Stock Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Another sharp upturn-in stock prices, which !. carried the averages to new high levels for the year and only slightly below the high markets of last year, a new high record for sterling ex- change at s4.691A since the peg" was removed in March, 1919, and a sharp rise followed by severe break in raw sugar futures were the outstanding developments in this weeks financial and commodity mar kets.
 Stock prices were bid up briskly, apparently on the theory that do- IT estic conditions are sufficiently en- couraging to warrant at least several months of business prosperity, re- gardless of what happens abroad. The principal constructive stock market developments during the week were continuation of record car loaojngs. further advance in the prices of copper, zinc, sugar, crude oil rubber and steel products, pub lication of statistics showing more than S5,000, 900 cotton spindles in op- eration for the first time and rel ative easiness of money rates with an enlarged demand for funds for commercial purposes.
 2 The approach of sterling ex- Shdi66 5.NO pdTlly reflects the steady improvement in the British trade bal ance, the rise being influenced also by the satisfactory progress being made in the British debt funding negotiations. The sharp recovery from the extreme low of .0020 to .0055 cents in German marks, despite another huge weekly increase in cir culation which carried the total above the two thrillion mark ob- viously is the result of the German government manipulation. Other ex- changes were slightly reactionary.
 The slight firming of money rates in this center was due to the heavy demand for funds for stock market operations. brokers loans again be- ing estimated as high as $2,000, ,000,- 900. Time money is now on per cent basis for all maturities

July and September, a setback in values is shown for May representing wheat already on hand Se- crop was a bullish factor on the other hand, whereas May was subjected to heavy selling on the part of eastern holders who were said to have been clinging pre- viously to hope of export credit enact ments at Washington.

 Abrupt selling of May wheat in amounts that were estimated as totaling millions of bushels gave the wheat market as a whole decided jolt one occasion. but rallies followed when the selling of May was restricted later to an unimpres- siye volume.
