CHAPTER vllI

Four men were discussing the YER
dict at the adjourned inquest upon
Victor Bidlake, at Soto's American
bar about fortnight later. They were
Robert Fairfax, young actor in mu-
steal comedy, Peter Jacks, a cinema
producer, Gerald Morse. a. dress de-
signer. and Sidney voss, a musical
composer and librettist, all habitues
of the place and members of the little
circle toward which the dead man had
seemed, during the last few weeks Of
his life, to have become attracted. At
the table short distance away, Fran
els Ledsam was seated with cocktail
and dish Of almonds before him. He
seemed to be studying an evening pa
per and to be taking but the scantiest
notice of the conversation at the bar.
''It just shows" Peter Jacks de-
clared, that crime Is the easiest game
in the world. Given a reasonable
amount Of intelligence, and murder
er's business is about as simple as
sandwichman's."

faced manufacturing youth, declared,

evidence and motive. In the present
case there is no circumstantial evil

tor was too big fool to have an
enemy in the world"
Sidney voss. who was up for the
Sheridan club and had once been there,
glanced respectfully across at Francis.
"You ought to know something about
crime<and criminals, Mr.. Ledsam," he
said. "Have you any theory about the
AFFAIR.""
Francis set down the glass from
which he had been drinking. and, fold
ing up the evening paper, laid it by
the side Of him.
"As matter of fact" he answered
calmly. II have
The few words, simply spoken, yet
in their way charged with menace,
thrilled through the little room. Fair
fax swung round upon his stool. tall,
aggressive-looking youth whose good
looks were half eaten up with dissi-
patton. His eyes were unnatufally
bright, the cloudy remains in his glass
indicated absinthe.
Listen, you fellows ~ he exclaimed.
"Mr. Francis Ledsam, the great GRIM
inal barrister, is going to solve the
mystery Of poor old victor's death for
us!'
The three other young men all
turned around from the bar. Their
eyes and whole attention seemed rivet-
ed upon Francis. No one seemed to
notice the newcomer who passed quiet
ly to a chair in the background, al
though he was person Of some note
and interest to all of them. Imper-
turbable and immaculate as ever, Sir
Timothy Brast smiled amiably upon

There were murmurs, of sympathy
from the four young men, who each in
his, own fashion appeared to derive
consolation from Sir Timothy's frank
and somewhat caustic statement. Fran.
els, who had listened unmoved to this
flow of words, glanced towards the door
behind which dark figures seemed to be
looming.

Timothy?" he asked politely.

Shopland had risen unobtrusively to
his feet. He laid his hand suddenly on
Fairfax's shoulder and whispered in his
ear. Fairfax, after his first start,
seemed cool enough. He stretched out
his hand towards the glass which as
yet he had not touched, covered 1t with
his fingers for moment and drained
its contents. The gently sarcastic
smile left Sir Timothy's lips. His eye
brows met in a quick frown. his eyes
glittered.

There were a few bewildered ex-
clamations-then dramatic hush.
Fairfax had fallen forward ON his stool.
He seemed to have relapsed into a
comatose state. Every scrap Of color
was drained from his sallow cheeks,
his eyes were covered with a film and
he was breathing heavily. The detec-
tive snatched up the glass from which
the young man had been drinking, and
smelt 1t.

Earmuffs on Receiver Do the work

Afflicted.

"PrOtruding ears will soon be a char.

Will grow up with Tapping auditory

MY boy Junior not so long ago had

was a terrific blow to us. Since the
day Of his birth we had worked to
make him look pretty. My wife before
long had visions of his becoming a
milliOn-dOllar-a-year movie star.
"Phe overlooked nothing. As soon
as Junior had hair long enough to curl
she curled it. As soon as he was able
to walk she saw that he carried his
feet in the approved fashiOn-almOst
parallel, the toes pointing slightly east
and west. When his new teeth started
coming we had the old ones extracted

Until two years ago his ears
seemed to be just ordinary ones. They
were not exactly tucked n close against
his head, but they were not Obstreper-

imagine the shock.
"When our hopes were at the lowest
ebb the boy became a radio fan. For
two, three and four hours a day he
would sit at his set, the head tele-
phones clamped over his ears. In six
months those awful fappers began to
improve their shape. In a year the
cure was complete. The radio ear

Watershed Is cRanoino.

A curious result Of a study of the
Blue Ridge mountains in North Caro-
lima and Virginia, says the Detroit
News, is the showing that the Allan
tic is slowly gaining some of the wa
ters that have hitherto flowed toward
the Mississippi
This arises from the fact that the
Blue Ridge, instead Of being a crest
with strong slopes on each side, is an
escarpment separating a mountainous
upland on the southeast, and the high
level headwaters of the streams that
flow toward the Mississippi are con.
tinpally losing length by the retreat
of the escarpment, through the retro
gressive erosion of the low-level head.

SAHARA WAS ONCE FERTILE
Pictures of Forgotten Civilization Dis
covered on the Cesert by
Explorers.

The Sahara was not always a desert,
parched by the blazing sun, says Ham
burger Nachrichten. This great ex-
panse is, to our minds, nothing but
land of scOrchlng heat. We know that
the entire region, although 1t is as big
as Europe, has no more inhabitants
than a medium sized European town
and that the endless plain OF the Sahara
holds nothing except sand and sOli-
tude.
Yet the immense desert of sand and
bare rocks was in the dim past a
fertile and well-developed country.
Traces have been found Of forgotten
civilization which prove that the Sa-
hara was not always q desert. The
German explorers Nachtigal and
Rholfs found pictures of fishes and
plants carved in the rocks; pictures
Of plows and other agricultural i'm
plements, were also found.
Recently ruins Of enormous cities
have been found in the northern part
Of the desert. These ruins show an
incredible splendOr of architecture.
The most important ruins were found
near Damugadis which was founded
during the time of the Roman emper-
Ors. Damugadis lay south of TripOli
in the northern Sahara. There q city
Of white marble of marvellous beauty
was excavated. Its buildings had pill
lars in the Greek style, broad streets
which would be the delight of any
modern city architect, an intricate
water system and all those attributes
which characterized Roman civiliza-
tiOn.
