"Oh, yes--but that could bring out nothing. Rubbers are all alike and l couldn't find any shoe dealer who had sold rubbers to any mem- Der of this family or any of the servants lately. Most likely it was bought in New York, and of course it's impossible to trace it."
 "Of course, and 1t would do no good to learn that rubbers had been bought. The thing is to find out what has become of the rubber that made this print. It can't be the property Of ono of the servants"
 Now. why cant it?"
 First, because it's too large for any of the maids, And, too, girls don't wear rubbers nowadays. But, anyway, this is the print of a mans rubber"
 T can and I hold that it was Douglas Raynor's rubber, and that Mrs. Raynor wore it that evening when she came in and shot him. be- cause 1t would be sort of disguise a false clew, you sec"
 You mean she purposey put on that evershoe and purposely made that footprint"
 'I mean just that miss. She's a deep one, that Mrs. Raynor, is, and, though l thought first off she was trying to poison Mir. Raynor, see now she wasn't--it was that nurse who did that. And Lord knows no jury would ever convict that nurse even if she's succeeded. But Mrs.

Raynor, now, that's another thing. She only wanted to be rid Of her husband that she might marry an- other man--a young man and one who would be kinder to her. I don't wonder at her hating old Raynor- he was a brute if ever one lived but she had no right to shoot him no, ma'am, that she hadn't"
 zizi looked at Dobbins medita- lively.
 you've never f1inched from your suspicion of her, have you" she asked.
 "No, maam, not really. I've been swayed--yes swayed, one way and another, but I always come back to her-'cause why. who else could it be? It's got to be somebody-the idea of an outsider is too ridiculous its got to he somebody in the house somebody interested -des- perately interested in old Raynor's death. Now, excepting MT. Finley who is 50 interested as Mrs. Raynor" And after the man became a drug field he was just about impossible to live with"
 Buff you argue that Mrs. Raynor killed him impulsively- after a quarrel or after he had abused her beyond all limit, I might agree but for you to say she put on the overshoes and deliberately planned the murder-it's too much to believe
 "Not a bit too much. tell you she's a deep one--she planned 1t most likely long before she carried it out-thcn, waited her chance"
 Having the overshoes might have been a sudden freak--say she hap pened to see 'em sitting around and stuck her little feet in 'em as an ! additional precaution."
 Sounds fishy to me. What did she do with the overshoes after ward?"
 "Ah, that's just 1t, If we could find those-but, you see, whoever shot Raynor hid those overshoes- why. there's no doubt that the mur- derer wore them-the print is right near where Raynor stood. lti pointed right toward him-the shoe must have been on the foot of the murderer. There's no getting away from that"
 Just like leaving a visiting card
 Just exactly, And if we can find the rubbers-they may not give away the crimlnal-but I'll say the! will"
 How about the nurse-she's havt big fcet--nurses always do. Anc shed be as likely to shoot MT. Ray nor as 10 poison him"
 Miss Turner? Why, she was ir the north door pushing on thu lights"
 She says she was. Can she prove it?"
 They all saw her-Mrs. Raynor Mir. Finley, Miss Raynor-why, al of them saw her in the doorway
 "Yes-but that was after the shot Why couldn't she have fired the re volver, dropped it, and then hav' gone to the door, and turned on th' lights?"
 'No-no-that won't work" Why not?" It's as likely as tha Mrs. Raynor did it-or Mir. Finley You must admit it as possible" ? (Continued in Our Next 1ssue)

This is q very fine magical boat the Wizard made for you, Captain!' RagCely Ann said to the little fat Captain as she and Raggedy Andy and he Captain and the wooden hobby horse sat upon the deck eat ing cream puffs and ice cream cones.
 Far down below them they could see the earth just like q great ball and Ereat Pop corn clouds just like great masses of white cotton floa.od by.
 '1 spect maybe we had better sail down 10 'ha earth again" the little fat Captain said. Its so cold up here, the ice cream cones get too hard, Lets sail back down to the earth What do you say"
 T spoct maybe It would be more fun" Raggady Ann said. "Therc isn't much chance Of having an adven- ture way up herc.'
 The little Captain was just about 10 turn the switch to DOWN. when Raggedy Andy who had re- maincd out upon deck cried, Look here, Do you 500 that little spcck way over there" Maybe it is a me- te0r,"
 The Iine Captain got his spy glasses and looked q, the speck My goodness" he cried, What do you suppose it is" he asked the i I,aegedys Then hclorc they could guess. bc said It is a man in a boat and he Is waving his arms at us''
 Maybe he has been shipwrecked from an aeroplane and he is trying to attract our attention so We will rfseur him." T,agga1y Andy said. So the Irun Captain went to the switch and turned it so that the little magical boat sailed right up to where the man sat in a tiny row boat. But he had no oars
 The Captain and Raggedy Andy helped the sky sailor from the tiny row boat onto the magical boat
 "Geewhilikcrs," the man said when he sat down in a chair, That's the first time l was ever shipwreck- cd way up in the air. l thought l would never be rescued! slt is very ! lonesome way up here, miles and miles above the earth without any thing 10 eat, and nothing to drink. am very glad you happened to sail by this way"
 Raggedy Ann hastened into the cabin and soon returned with a large plate of cream puffs, dough- nuts and two glasses of ice cream soda water.
 The sailor was very glad to get this. And, when he had finished eating he said. "I was sailing upon a tug boat last night, and had gone 10 sloop, when all Of sudden l l felt the boat whirling around and around. l did not know what was

 Then bctaking himself 10 the beach, Lee Chow assiduously scrub bed the clans. and l saw with ap- proval that lie carefully inspected each throwing away several that ap- parcntly did not suit his fastdious taste. Bringing them back, he took the lids off the pots, and with the aid of a few stones which he also scrubbed, he arranged a really in- genlous steaming utensl in winch the clans did not touch the boiling water beneath them.

ON HEALTu---' HOW TO LIVE LONG
HEALTH

But there are general rules to the game, by following which no one can so wrong.
 To reach a ripe old age is all but impossible if you live a rushing, hectic life. Cultivate cheerfulness and bright outlook; do something useful as often as you can for the good of your peace of mind and soul
 Get a hobby; don't worry about luxuries, simple things are best; keep your mind occupied and vary your interest so that they will not lag. Eat the things that agree with you best, rather than those things you like, and get lots of fresh air. exercise, baths, sleep and sunshine.

In Anytown, as elsewhere. the "old-timers" were always talking about the best methods for attain ing longevity.
 Almost invariably different meth ods seemed to lead. to the same end.
 One would say that he had never stopped smoking and drank liquor whenever he could get it; another would insist that old age was to be obtained only by complete absti- dance; some were vegctarians and others ate meat.
 The crux of which is: few per sons react similarly 10 either the externals or internaIs Of life, Each man must study his own problem.

What Lee Chow Did 10 Complete the
 Camp Dinner,
 Lee Chow took tho rukc he had improvsod from tho branch of a cedar anI began to pull tho glowing enbSrs Of the campfire to one side.
 "All ri for potatoes uow,' he said, and with lho words l httcd up my voice in a chccry but pcremptory call
 "Ka,tjo Marion, Junior, Como quickly ,vo arc going to put in tho potatoes now"
 Full well I knew that would never he forgiven by any one Of the trio of children, for my little maid in soma respects is the youngest Of the three, if l did not permit them to participate in every detail of the camp cooking. And the alacrily with which they came running toward us evidenced their joyous enthusiasm.
 "Oh-h. What perfectly splcudlier- ous ashes" Marion caroIed, while Junior danced up and down like a little jumping jack, giving httIe throaty crows of delieht.'"May Jun- for and l put the potatoes into the ashes"
 Junior may toss some in," l com promised, with a compelling hand upon my small sons jacket collar as he showed signs of flashing for ward into the scorchlng ashes, and you may put the rest in if Katie will help you"
 I purposeIy added my little maids name and was rewarded by the grin of delight which oyerspread Katie s face.
 "Coom along qveeck" she adjured Marion laughingly. "My reehs are hitting my backbone already vunce' I so hoongry."
 Both Marion and Junior went off Into hilarious laughter at her crude iest-to both of them Katie is a Rource of infinite entertainment -- and the process of putting the po- tatoes into the bed of ashes went nnerrily on to completion. Lee Chow raked a heavy blanket Of hot ashes over the potatoes and then built a second fire with an exact imitation of the process Marion had indicated as necessary to her one match-light- ing feat.
 I had heard of the marvellous abil- sty of his race to reproduce anything once observed by them, and l saw ths report exemplifed before my eyes.
 "Ill Stay and Watch"
 When the last fagot was in place, Lee Chow handed a match to Marion with a low bow and the little girl flushing with pleasure and embar- rassment at his air of deference, re- peated her feat while Junior clapped his hands. as he always does when Marion does anything that meets his approval.
 Fire burn fine now" Lee Chow said after minute or two. Just time 10 get clans if lii boss man and lil boss lady wan dig" He smiled at the children, and then looked 10 me for permission.
 "Of course said promptly "lh stay here and watch the fire, so you can go along also Katle.'
 My little maids face which had clouded at Lee Chow's proposal, promptly cleared at the amendment and in another five minutes, Junior Marion and Katie were shouting with Fles as with sticks, pieces of sharr stone and their hands, they dug the rlams from the wet sand, while Lee Chow lowered around them like some baneficient gnome watching the tide and the holes in the sand where water had collected.
