 which will require those desiring to
 become pharmaeists to be graduates Of college of pharmacy after Janu- lafy l, 1925, and there is no college or pharmacy in Connecticut at the present time it is thought that such a college is needed, He said that Yale has agreed to open such a school if it is provided with si00.000 with which tn carry on the work.
 If the desired amount Of money cannot be raised MT. Garyan stated that it is possible that n private in- siitutc will he opened in New Ha- ven. Massachusetts and New York states have such schools. Al the pres- ent time those desiring to become pharmacists must have four years Of High school training.
 Tho speaker spoke on "The Drug gist and the Public" He said that there was time when anyone could
 enter into the business and do about as he pleased. Now conditions are changed, he said. and Connecticut has the best pharmacy laws in the United States.
 The pharmacists themselves saw the need of stricter laws. the speaker said, pertaining to sanitary conditions in the stores. There are few mistakes made today compared to the large made in the olden days. he said.
 Continuing Mir. Garyan said "A drug store operating without a licensed pharmacist or an assistant pharmacist | is operating as direct violation of | the law. There are few such stores | In Connecticut and everything is be- | ing done to bring them up. If after i a second notice they do not employ | ! licensed pharmacist or an assistant Inc store is closed"

"The embassy of one of our late allies"
King groaned. "May 1 assume that that
last cocktail is for me, Mr.. Cray? Your
very good health! Will you allow me to
express my acknowledgements, and to say
that am only sorry that that little symbol
which you carry was not struck at our mint
instead Of at Washington"
Mr.. Cray smiled benevolently.
"That needn't trouble you any, King"

whispered word or two to the jeweler, who
was suddenly pale.
T-I really don't understand" he STAN

word, you can ring up the Department or
call in the two plain clothes officers who

dentials."
Mr.. King drew a small gold medal from
his pocket. The jeweler bowed.
II am quite satisfied, sir" he said.
"Pray proceed as you think fit'
Mr.. Cray took up the necklace in his
hands and felt each of the stones. A beati-
fic smile parted his lips.
here
He pressed hidden catch amongst the
links, and one of the stones flew open upon
a concealed hinge. There was small hol-
low space, about an inch long and half
an inch deep. In it was folded a wad of
paper.
"The letter. Mr.. Cray observed, "has
been cut into symmetrical pieces, each one
numbered, and can, of course, be easily put
together"
King nodded apprehendingly.
1--WE will examine it more carefully in
few minutes" he said. In the meantime"
he added, warp the nearest necklace you
have to it into this box, tie it up, and adj
dress it to Gerald Thornassen, Esq. The
other necklace will take care Of
"You are aware that this is great re-
sponsibility, sir?" the jeweler observed
nervously
"My department will secure you from
any loss," King assured him with slight
smile. Better hurry. This man may be
here at any moment"
The jeweler obeyed orders. Cray and
his companion postponed the examination
of Mrs. Wieller's necklace and entered into
an exhaustive scrutiny of the whole stock
of waistcoat buttons.
In about twenty-five minutes the shop
door was pushed open, and tall, dark man
wearing single eyeglass, and fashionably
attired, entered the place.
King, with the celebrity of cat. disap-
peared behind screen.

Weller" the man announced.
A package was handed to him and
nonchalantly received.
Anything to pay?"
Nothing at ALL" the jeweler replied. "No
repair was necessary"
The man left the shop. King glided out
of his concealment. His eyes were bright
with excitement.
'This is more interesting than thought"
he muttered. "Come along, Cray"
The jeweler leaned forward
"If this is criminal affair."" he said
tremblingly, 81 trust that you will see we are
innocent of completely of any sort"
II shall make up my mind about that"
he replied, "when l see whether Mr..
Thornassen, as he calls himself has been
warned"
Sir George Sittingbourne and his wife
arrived at Mr.. Cray's sitting room at
few minutes before one. They found their
prospective host with paste-brush in his
hand and number of sheets of paper be-
fore him. He welcomed them triumphant
ly. -.

thankfully. "Where in Gods name did you
get it,"

threw a necklace upon the table.
