 "Wfll you be paid? Yes. Hubby. you will. But only if It's good evil dence or a real clue. Or 2 true way to look"
 "Yes. sir. But if 1t IS all those things. will you"
 "Yes." little impatiently. ''yes, I'll see to it that you get paid. My 1 Lord. Hubby, what a school for young grafters big hotel is! We'll, go ahead"
 Its only this. You've been all through Mir. Folsom's papers and letters, ain't you?"
 Pretty much. There's some of that work still to be done. Why?"
 "oh. only that Mr. Pelton has a big suitcase full of papers and let ters and important looking docu- ments-"
 And you think they're con- nected with Mir. Folsom's estate?"
 "They's lots of 'em addressed to MT. Folsom, and some of 'em in MT. Folsom's writing"
 This is interesting. Where is this suitcase?"
 Up In Mir. Pelton's rooms. The rooms Mir. Folsom used to park in.'
 How did you come to spy them out?"
 Hubby looked duly and properly insulted.
 "Nothin' like that. sir. saw them when I took up some ice water"
 "Oh, see. I beg your pardon. Very careless of MT. Pelton to have them in sight when you came in. We'll, never mind. you did right to mention it. Tubs and if anything comes of 1t, I'll remem- Der you"
 "Yes sir; thank you. sir" And the bcllhop went off and left Riggs to his cogitations.
 It was pleasant place to muse. The comfortable chair was placed just at a point where Riggs could command the boardwalk or could let his gaze go farther afield, and view the wide expanse of blue ocean.
 But with little sigh of regret. he rose from the big wicker rocker, and betook himself up to Dan Pelton's rooms, having first acquired information by telephone that he was there and alone.
 T thought at first. I'd go for a confab with your aunt" Riggs said, as he took the seat and. the cigar that Pelton offered. But I felt that these first hours after the services for her brother. she ought to be left in peace"
 T see you don't know Aunt stasia' Pelton responded. with a little smile. "She could go to the 1 funerals of all her relatives and still be fit for any sort of inter- view with anybody. Shall ] call her. or shall We go to see her?"
 Presently. Perhaps we might 1 have a little chat by ourselves first. You're with us, Pelton? l mean with your aunt and me in this search for her brothers mur- derer?"
 "Of course, Riggs sure I'm with you, in that I want you to find him If you can. But I'm not so keen to have him found as Aunt Anastas:a is."
 "Why not:"
 "For a very simple reason. Be- cause I fear if the motive for Un- cle Garrett's death. or the identity of his murderer should be dscov- cred. 1t well, 1t might react un- pleasantly on the-er-family l dignity. if not-honor."

Peter Rabbit and Danny Meadow Mouse were still finding it difficult to believe that their eyes were not playing tricks on them. That any animal could have a neck such as this one had was beyond belief.
 T don't know his name, but J know what it ought to be-" said Danny.
 ''What?" asked Peter.
 ''Longneck." replied Danny.
 Peter. who was looking up with his own head tipped as far back as he could get it. saw that other head so far above him begin to nod. You're right. Danny" said Peter. He says so himself. Longneck is a good name for him, but wonder what his other name is.'
 Just then Danny Meadow Mouse discovered a strange mouse, who approached rather boldly. Who are you?" demanded Danny.
 The stranger grinned. "One of your cousins" said he. i've been travelling with this circus. You real ly ought to join us. There are plenty of hiding places and 1t is the easiest thing in the world to get plenty to eat. I've ben watching you fellows and I thought I would just make myself known. Perhaps you would like to have me show you around"
 Thank you" replied Danny po- litely. i've should. indeed. Can you tell us who this fellow is? He sems 10 have lost his tongue"
 "You wouldn't think so If you could once see him run it out" de- clared the Circus Mouse. You just ought to see him wrap 1t around bundle of hay. His name Is Long, neck the Giraffe. He never speaks. 30 1t Is just as we'll you didn't try asking him questions
 'Well, what puzzles me-" said Peter Rabbit, Ifs why any one should have a neck as long as that. Of what possible use can 1t be? J should think he would be forever pumping his head"
 "Oh," said the Circus Mouse. where he came from that long neck of his Is very useful. You see. Giraffes live on the leaves of cer- tain trees and that Is why they have those long neclls. It is so they can stand and eat comfortably. If they didn't have long necks they couldn't get those leaves But. say, you ought to gee Longneck drink. Yes. sir. you ought to see him drink. The only way he can get his nose down to the water is to s'raddle his front legs out sidewise. You never saw such looking thing in all your life"
 "Can he run?" asked Peter.
 He's got four legs, hasn't he?" demanded the Circus Mouse "Of course he can r,in. I've never seen him run. but I've heard # said he can get over the ground pretty fast"
 "If he feeds on leaves of trees how does he get them in here ?" tn- quired Danny Meadow Mouse.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

Eeia, the Health Magazine
 Climates with relatively low hu- midity are believed to give relief to patients with asthma. Apparently this is due to the beneficial effects of the dry air, which extracts mois- ture from the tubes leading to the lungs.
 In other diseases, particularly those of the heart and kidney, in which there is an accumulation of water in the lungs. dry climate may be especially serviceable.
