when they discovered that queer thing up in the little pool.
 Graywing chuckled, but didn't an swer the question. Instead. he told them to watch what they called the queer thing. So they sat down to watch. Presently this queer thing began to move. Meanwhile Reddy had discovered that 1t had two big eyes. They were round and star ing and gave him a creepy feeling, l for they had no lids. And there was mouth, which had a regular beak and looked as if it could bite most uncomfortably. From around this beak stretched out ten arms, or feel CTS, two of which were longer than the others. How surprised Reddy would have been had any one told 1 him that these were really kind of feet. Can't you just hear him exclaiming, Feet growing out of a head? The idea. The very ideal" Yet, this really was the case.
 As Reddy and Jimmy watched, this queer creature changed color. It was swimming along very slow ly. Suddenly it began to go fast. Those long arms trailed out behind it, and it dawned on Reddy that it was going tail first.
 Look" he exclaimed. Look, That thing is swimming backward'' "
 Well, why not?" inquired Gray ,,,t- o 1nhctor CKtTjr11 hack ward, why shouldn't that thing swim backward? Personally, I don't think much of 1t myself. I want to see where I'm going. This fellow can go forward if he wants to, but it seems to be easier for him to go backward, and so he does. I've seen ever and ever so many of them dead on the beach, because the silly things ran ashore not knowing where they were going. Then they didn't know how to get back into the water again."
 T don't see how he swims," said Jimmy Skunk.
 Graywing chuckled. T don't won der" said he. He doesn't swim like regular fish. He swims by talk ing water in and driving 1t out again with such force that 1t shoots him through the water. Old Mother Nature has provided him with what is called a "siphon" just for this purpose. That fellow looked to me as if he were hungry. If we watch him, perhaps we shall see him eat a meal"

Therefore I smothered my very real alarm that l might not be able to carry out his wishes sat isfactorily to him and said quietly:
 "I shall begin her classes tomor- row."
 He flashed one of his rare smiles at me.
 T wonder if you realize what a wonderful person you are to work with" he said with apparent spon- taneity, although in my weeks Of work with him I had learned that he never did or said anything upon impulse.
 T am glad that I please you" | said demurely, although in truth 1 could have echoed his words en- thusiastically with himself as the subject.
 For. though thought I could see symptoms of r~stlessness in Mary at the rigid program laid out for her, there was no slightest trace of boredom for me in the new life which had opened to me with my entrance into Philip Veritzens or ganization. My work was fascinat. ing and interesting and, besides, af- forded me the entrance into the world behind the scenes of the theater, of which I had dreamed all my life. but which long since had given up hope of achieving.
 But I was honest enough to &C., Knowledge to myself that my com- radeship with Philip Veritzen was the chief factor in my new content ment. Never had I known a man or a woman with so brilliant a men, tality. Lillian's mind came nearest to his of any person I knew, but reluctantly I had to give the palm to the great dramatic producer for alertness, quick perceptions and depth of knowledge. Conversation with him was like exploring the un- expect-d recesses of treasure house, and, imperceptibly, l had como to look forward with pleasur- able anticipation to the time I spent in his austere private office upon the days when he went over with me the results of the research work l was doing with him.

 Do you want to?" was my quick question.
 Judy, you know better than that, why do you torture me?"
 I'm not trying to torture you, Jerry. but just called you to ask you to cancel the steamer reservations. Joan has decided that she must stay here until her brother leaves on the African expedition"

Mads. Finds She Gets on Famously

Madss Finds She Gets on Famousl!
 With Veritzen.
 If Mary Harrison, Dicky's young niece, had any lurking idea that hel life under Philip Veritzen's super. vision would be keyed to the note represented by the magnificent roses which he had sent to the apartment upon the night of her homecoming her mind was soon disabused of SC absurd a notion. From the very be- ginning of the regime he had plan ned for her she found that Lillian's prophecy was only too true and that the most rigid routine ruled her days and nights, with every detail of it carefully planned by the great theatrical magnate himself.
 Mary, the rebel. the child who used to turn on her light at night after everybody had gone to sleep and read for hours now found her self sentenced to bed with lights out at half past nine. There was nc exception to this rule, for the theatrical performances which were part of the course of study mapped out for her were always matinee productions. She had loathed the discipline of school; she now found herself under the domination of a half dozen private tutors, each ap- proved by Philip Feritzen, which meant that they were the last word ia their respective lines and could be depended upon to exact the pound of flesh to the last ounce.

The housewife ordinarily has suf- 1lcient to occupy her during the day. When to her usual duties are ! added the problems associated with the care of a none too pleasant in valid she is likely to need and to appreciate kindly advice.
 The first problem that will con- cern her is the room in which the sick one is to be placed. Ordinarily the invalid is promptly deposited in the bedroom of his usual occupancy. | This may not necessarily be best suited to his condition.
 For many reasons, he should be in very close relationship to the 1 bathroom facilities and not too far removed from contact with the daily | life of the household. Of course, If he has nurse who is to do the car rying back and forth of icepacks, toilet utilities, good, soiled dishes and linens, the matter of steps is of lesser importance.
 Minimize Steps
 If, however, the mother is to at tend to these factors in addition to her regular household problems, she will want to minimize the number of steps as much as possible, in or der that there may not be another invalid to occupy the place of the sick one as soon as he is well.
 A board or a suitable ventilator Io J aI 1t tho 1nVu1r ing so as to prevent direct exposure of the invalid to wind or drafts.
 Control Rattling
 The rattling may be controlled by the use of suitable wedges of either wood or paper that may occupy the space in which the window sash moves. A door may be made noise less by binding a cloth of any kind from one door knob to the other.
 This serves the double purpose of softening any slamming of the door and also prevents tight closure. A call of the invalid can be heard through the opening that will be maintained by this method. and at the same time enough sound will be cut out to make a considerable diff ference.
 An invalid needs sunlight as much or more than a person in nor nal health. Sunlight has valuable dis!nfectant properties and from the psychologic point of view induces choerfulness, A distinct glare is, however, always harmful to pa ticnt whose eyes are likely to be made more sensitive by his disease.
 Colored Glasses
 In some diseases in which the eyes are especially susceptible to light, the patient may wear dark colored glasses.
 Since the sick-room must be ire ouently cleaned, and since the pa tient must avoid the irritating quantities of floating dust, it may be well to strip the room of unneces- sary hangings and fripparies, with out giving 1t crude baroness. One or two pictures and hard furniture are easily cleaned and decorated. Heavily tufted furniture, thick rugs and double drapes and curtains are likely to serve largely as dust col lectors and disseminators.

Mrs. Prentiss sees lights mysteri. ously appear and disappear in the Heath household next door one night. and the next day Harbor Gardens, Long Island, is agog with the murder of Myra Heath and the disappearance of her husband. Perry.
 House guests of the Heaths are Lawrence Inman. heir to Myra' s fortune, and Bunny Moore, vivacious, golden-haired. to whom suspicion points because of her refusal to an- swer questions.
 Myra Heath was peculiar. She never used cosmetics, never wore colors. She had mania for col lecting glass. and 1t was a rare old whisky bottle from her collection that the murderer used to kill her. Candles were burning at her head and feet and nearby was a card
 marked. "The Work of Perry Heath" Strangest of all, she was heavily made up with rouge.
 The peculiar thing about Heath's disappearance is that all the win- uO"o o4Iu uooIo Idu bGtH lOChtu Ou the inside the night before and were found that way in the morning. Finger prints If Bunny Moore and Inman were found on the bottle.
 At the Country Club the murder is discussed by Sam Anderson, Heath's rival for the club presi- dency; Al Cunningham, who is try ing to solve the crime, and others. Some believe Heath the murderer Anderson disagrees. Todhunter Buck, nephew of Mrs. Prentiss and in love with Bunny, suggests to Cunningham that Heath also may have been murdered.
 Emma, waitress in the Heath home, tells of seeing Bunny ascend the stairs about the time of the rnur- der. carrying her vanity case. Later Bunny is amazed to get a phone call from Perry Heath advising her to keep silent. Mrs. Prentiss tells Bunny she believes Bunny knew of the murder before she was told of

The New Afternoon Goats Feature
 Rich Trimmings in Addition to Lavish Use of Furs

10 a Lay1Sh Use or EurS Coats this season are of two types.
 For mornings in town, for motoring and for general sports wear there is the tweed coat, strictly tailored in both line and trimming. For after- noon wear the formal wrapped type of coat has returned to favor. It is invariably of softer material than the tailored coat and is usually dis tinguished by some form of decora- tive trimming.
 The afternoon coat sketched today is stunning example of a formal
 wrap of this kind. It is black du- yetine, trimmed with black and silver brocade and sable. The brc- cade appears in a border on the bottom, outlined with fur, in V shaped pieces on the cuffs. and as an edging for the reverse.
 Another interesting feature of the
 new coats is the straight-lin sil- houette. With the exception of few dolman models which illustrate a. wider line above the hips the latest coats are characterized by slim con- tours and an absence of all flare. The hat accompanying this coat is turban Of black felt It is high in back, with creases at irregular in- tervals on the front portion.
 This smart straight-line coat Is trimmed with black and silver bro-
 cade and bands of sable fur.
