the boy to follow us to Sykes.

ran his eyes over the paper. saw
/ him start, then without word he
handed it to me, and I read:
Arrested in New York one o'clock this
morning Jacob Asher with truck load of
whisky. Claims he paid Slyke s2s, 900 for

about five o'clock. Did not know Slyke
was dead till he read papers. Story seems
to be true. ROGERS.
No wonder BARLEY had started.
Here at last might be motive for
the murder. Perhaps the man in New
York could tell us what had happened
that night.
With grave face BARLEY took the
telegram from my hand, and reread
it; then he asked Miss Potter if Slyke
had had visitor the afternoon before
his death. She said she did not know
whether he had or not, as she had been
away most of the afternoon. After
few more questions. we babe her
goodnight. In the doorway BARLEY
paused to say something to her, in so
low tone that could not catch his
words; but I did hear her eager an
swering "Yes"
As we climbed into the car and
started down the road, / said that /

about the $4,000 whisky deal. His
answer was as quick as a flash: 81
never thought she did. The strange
thing is that in the safe, after his
death, his lawyer should find $4,000,
and that he should have made a de-
post of $4,000 that same afternoon"
We rode in silence for a while.
Then he startled me by saying that
he was not going back to Currie's, but
to New York to interview the man
arrested with the whisky, and that
he would not be back until the next
afternoon. 1t was not until we were
at the station, waiting for his train.

/ was not surprised Everything
had seemed to lead up to this revela-

was why a man In Mr.. Sykes posi-
tiOn should be engaged in the illegal
selling Of whisky, and take this
chauffeur into his confidence. Whisky
bought in any quantity, since prohi-
bition, had to come from Canada, and
passed through the hands of num-

it some bearing on his death"

Neckwear Is in
Fashion Picture
Lingerie Collar Is Given
Prominence by French
Dresslnakers.

No part of dress has had more in
teresting history than neckwear writes
Paris fashion correspondent in the
New York Tribune. Few realize how
important part it has played in wom-
ans dress since the beginning of time.
Once upon time the size and splendor
Of wOman's neck ruff indicated her
rank or station in life.
During the three seasons just past
number of French models which
proved to be best sellers in this
country originally had lingerie finishes
at the neck and sleeves, but in the
copies made here these were omitted.
Now that the lingerie collar and cuffs
are given great prominence by the
greatest French designers we may hope
to see more made of them in this coun-
try. A number Of new French models
show interesting lingerie finishes.
Dashing high collars of lingerie ma
terials take their inspiration from the
Directoire period. Many black and
white combinations are featured in
these. Smart, high, plated frills or
double ruchings may have wide era

Frequently net and embroidery are

son coats, because, literally, they can
serve every ordinary purpose through
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
At this rate an investment in one Of
the pretty little fuzzy coats will repay
the expenditure in no time, for it is
possible to concentrate the expendi-
ture for four separate coats into the
purchase of one that will serve every
purpose of the four. A girl who had
worn one of these coats through the
whole winter was heard to say: II am
going to keep right on wearing this

ON FIRE PREVENTION

Boy Scouts, troop No. of the Pres
byterian church were delighted this
week to have Fire Chief Carl Smith
visit them and were much pleased
with his instructive talk on how to
prevent fires. He stated that "a per
cent of residence fires are caused
from defective flues and asked that
the scouts inspect attics for cracks in
chimneys where mortar may have fall
en- out. This, he said, is usually the
place where the fire starts. Defective
wiring, wrong fuse plugs, and over
loading is often the cause of fires
Mr.. Smith warned against the care
less use of oil and of letting matches
lie around loose, where mice may get
them or they may otherwise be light
ed He explained the idea of taking
no chances, and of using care.
Panther patrol put on a stunt at
conclusion of the session, which was
highly appreciated.
