CHA PIER XVII

Nan wanted desperately to run from the room, so that Morgan should be spared the added humili, ation of having witness to his shock and grief, But he. so pi,i- fully mprepared, had told her 10 stay while he read his letter from his wife. And now, before she had time to collect her wits and make m excuse to go into her own Of flee, Morgan was drawing the cracking sheets of expensive note papcr from the big square envelope addressed in Iris handwriting.
 Out If sheer decency and pity she did close her eyes, so that when he looked at her-as at length he must he would think that she was still concentrating on the Lois Downs mystery, would be grateful that she time 10 control it-
 Nan never knew how long sine sat therc with her eyes screwed tightly shut and her mind reelng drunkcnly from thought to thought. However long it was, there was no sound at all from the man who sat less than two feet from her. until his voice, unrecognizable in its re strained hoarsenoss, called to her: "Nan-"
 Yes Mr. Morgan" She tried to make her voice sound normal chcerlulIy cNpectant - In case he was looking at her, she blinked her eyes rapidly anl smiled.
 But the bit of acting was unncc- "ssary, The mans long, thin body was hunchcd forward against his desk, his face shielded from he sight by a cuppcd hand.
 His words came jerkily, with the sound of labored breathing between phrases, I'm sorry - but don't think-I'l work any more-tonight. Tomorrow" But he could not drag his voice past that word, which can be the most terrible in the English language.

 Funny there were no finger prints at all on the glass. It looks as if the murderer would have thought of fingerprints in the cab met and on the bottles if he re- membcred to wipe them off the glass on the bedside table,
 Hold on." Morgan admonished her. You're forgetting that those mysterious prints were made by q woman's fingers. It's she not he Well, we must be thankful for what we have. Those finger prints prove that some woman we know they weren't made by Lois Downs, either of the two daugh- ters, or by any woman servant that had access to the apartment-some woman was in that bathroom han ding poison bottles and touching the cabinet. But how in heavens name she got there without being seen or heard, mixed lethal dose for the old lady and persuaded her to take it, as morbidly afraid as Mrs. z, Ward was of being pois~ oned-"
 Wait" Nan cried. TT think live hit on something! Don't | breathe for a minute"
 Nan screwed up her eyes and brows in fierce frown, twincd the fingers of her right hand in her short, tumbled brown hair, and fairly radiated thought waves, while the man opposite her leaned back in his chair and regarded her with fond indulgence, but with q gleam of excited anticipation in his black eyes.
 The sound of sudden, violent pounding on the outside door of the suite penetrated into the inner of- flee. Nan started to rise, but Nor gan pushed her back into her seat.
 Keep on with that heavy think ing" he commanded, laughing. "Ill see who it is"
 In a minute or two he was back his face aIight with joy, a special delivery letter in his hand.
 "A letter from Iris" he an nounced, as excited and eager as q boy with his first love letter. Co right on solving the mystery whilr I read it, won't you. NanH'

Morsan's swivel chair creakcd as he strengthened his bowed back ana squared his shoulders slowly, like a man adjusting himself to receive and carry an intolerably heavy load. The faint sound aroused Nan from the welter of emotions and specula- tionS into which Iris'S incredible letter had plunged her. She stepped softly to the desk, laid the stiff sheets of notepaper upon the edge of it. She must say something, of course. It was to his friend, not to his secretary, that he had shown the letter.
 I'm sorry, Mir. Morgan.' Her voice was husky and rough with tears. 'Is th@re-anything I-caE do? I'm so-terribly sorry" Nan hated words then; they were such silly, futile things. If only she could touch him, hold his hca q | against her breast. so that he could feel how her heart throbbed with compassion and love, But that was silly, too. Only one woman's arms and love could comfort him now
 Thank you, Nan. I-thought you'd-better know. Sorry to dis. tress you" He did not look at her as he spoke, in flat, dead mono tone. I'm afraid there isn't any thing - you can do - just now Goodnight, Nan"

 When his clasp was loosened Nan withdrew her hand gently and slipped from the room. She knew that he wanted to be alone, but when she was putting on her hal she realized that she could not leave him yet. It would be like leaving a man to sit up alone with his dead.

JAMES WILBUR FORREST

James w. Forrest passed away on
Wednesday, October %, after long
and painful illness, death coming as
a welcome release. During his illness
the loving service rendered by family
and neighbors gave testimony of the
high regard in which he was held.
Always kindly, full of humor, ever
ready to help in time of need, Mr..
Forrest created for himself place
that can never be filled. Though he
had lived long past the allotted span
of three score years, he, still retained
an interest in all that went on about
him, and was unusually active in
mind and body
James Wilbur Forrest was born near
Niagara Falls, New York February l6,
1886. His earlier life was spent in the
business of mining in and about Lead
vile, Colorado.
He came west in 1905, marrying An
ma L. Westlotorn at Tonopah, Nevada,
October "a, 1908. Death occurred ex-
actly 81 years lateral the home at
Southern Heights, where Mr. and Mrs.
Forrest had lived for little over ~
years, developing, during that time
patch of second growth timber into
prosperous fruit and poultry ranch.
The funeral services, held at the
Lisabeula church Sunday afternoon
was largely attended by friends whose
presence and floral offerings expressed
the estimate of Mr.. Forests life and
character.
Mrs Shattuck, accompanied by Mrs
Page sang two songs. Rev. G. August
Peterson who officiated delivered
comforting message to the relatives
and friends who remain to mourn.
Burial was in Seattle cemetery.
Those who survive are the widow,
Anna L., son, Jack, and Mrs. Robert
Bellazi, sister of Mrs Forrest.
During the funeral services the fol-
lowing poem, in Mr.. Forests own writ
ing was read, wonderful message to
those whom he left
Passing out of the shadow
Into purer light;
Stepping behind a curtain
Getting clearer sight;
Laying aside the burden
This weary mortal coil;
Done with the worlds vexations,
Done with its tears and toll.
Tired of all earths playthings,
Heartsick, and ready to sleep;
Ready to bid our friends farewell,
Wondering why they weep;
Passing out of the shadow
Into eternal day !
Why do we call it dying,
This sweet passing away?

MILK AND SPINACH ARE POPULAR
COLLEGIATE FOOD

Moralists who shout to the high

are right--but It's milk that's the
mainstay of their dissipation and
nothing else, close survey OF meals
ordered by customers at the Commons,

Several other interesting facts were
the outcome of the survey as well.
Whether brain food or not, fish is
one of the ma!nstays of the collegiate
diet. The students do not care for
beans, but show an unusual desire for
pretzels with their milk. And spinach
ranks as one of the favorite foods
among the knowledge seekers. The
survey was conducted by Commons
officials to determine just what in the
food line is the most popular with the
