Manning began to sob hysterical-

".
 Shut up!" Samuels commanded Did you see any one in the hall or in this room, Miss Jahries?" No one," the housekeeper an- swered stonily. No one but Grain |ger."
 Samuels turned to Kifk and Grid Hey. Have a look at those win dows. He must have used one of them. And see if Lum We still is locked up. Johns, .Annersley, Hen dricks, the Ferris girl,' he mutt tered, checking the missing. Any one seen any of them?"
 Johns is in the fort tower" I told him. At least, he was a few minutes ago."
 How many minutes ago?"
 Just before you showed us the boot"
 Celia and Annersley left by themselves some time ago." Mrs Parados announced.
 Samuels nodded and was reach ing for the house telephone, a handkerchief in his hand, when Flique stopped him.
 You will first observe the po- sition of the telephone!"
 It lay on it's side at the end of the writing table nearest the fire place, the receiver off the hook. { Some one knocked it over," Sam uels said irritably.
 "Who?"
 T don't know. It isn't impor- tant I want to know if Johns really is in his tower. This might be important"
 With his handkerchief over his hand, Samuels held the receiver to his ear and pressed one of the but tons.
 "Is that you, Johns? This is Samuels. Come over to the li- brary right away"
 Not important, the position of that telephone, you think?" Flique murmured Monsieur, it is the vii tai clew, the living tissue!"
 What are you driving at?" Sam Iuels asked Flique?"
 The little man wagged a plump finger in Samuels' face.
 "C'est different, this murder. We hear the shot, we smell the pow der. find this on the floor" Fiji que held up an empty cartridge case, a firty-five.
 Where was this?" Samuels ask ed as he took the shell.

Flique pointed to the head of the bearskin rug across which the body lay.
 This is interesting" he contir- ued, but the important facts. thc living tissue, are these. That the telephone is upset so, that Grain- ger is shot in the back as he lights the fire, and that both doors of the patio window are wide open when M. Parados was shot they were closed, you will remember "All right" Samuels said abrupt- | ly. Why not tell us what signifi- canoe these facts have?" Flique's smile was positively beatjfic.
 That I shall do, but not yet. At the finish we shall put the heads together-and then perhaps we shall have the big mystery" Samuels shrugged, and turned again to Mrs. Parados.
 Have you any idea where An- nersley and the Ferris girl went. ]. he asked. T haven't" Mrs. Parados said. There was a deadness in her tone. I had a feeling that Mrs. Parados had not counted on this. Where were you when the shot was fired?"
 "In my room dressing for din- ner."
 "Alone?" Samuels pursued. Mrs. Parados lifted her eyes to his.
 Alone" she said coldly. If you had been on your job this wouldn't have happened"

CARS DAMAGED IN
 COLLISION TODAY
 ON GLACIER ROAD

Meeting nearly head-on in a collision near the Six Mile post on Glacier Highway between 4 and 5 am. today, Ford one and one-half ton truck owned by Harry WatSoh and driven by Carl Johnson, and a Chevrolet coupe of Luther Suby, were badly damaged.
 Johnson was approaching Ju- neau with a load of sand and was

 Both automobiles were put out of commission and were lowed to town. Each suffered a smashed fender, and was badly battered and bent in front.

a weariness. Why is this?'
 That Gut gets on my nerves!" I exclaimed. Haven't you hit upon anything yet?"
 Monsieur is impatient. It will be first the little mysteries-and then the big mystery"
 "PreciSement, Flique muttered. "As you say, that is settled" His casual air irritated me. Are you not interested?" I demanded i Monastery" he said reprovingly, T have problem. But what is this?" he continued, recovering his suitability.
 Samuels was hurrying toward us, carrying what appeared to be a wading boot. He presented the sole of the boot to Flique's inquir- ing eyes and illuminated it with an electric torch.
 Look at that" he said tersely.
 A little patch of solidified crude oil adhered to the instep, and en- bedded in it were flores of bluish material.
 Monsieur has the sharp eye" Flique murmured admiringly. And this enormous boot, it is whose?"
 "Grainger'sl' Samuels exclaimed T found it in the garage. Jahries said that the stain was not on the library carpet early yesterday af ternoon. It was there last night These flores were pulled out of the carpet. I've just talked to Jahries again. She said Grainger was wearing his waders last night before dinner. Grainger told us he was not in the library between yester- day noon and when Parados was found. He lied again! I've got him this time!' and Samuels shook the boot exultantly.
 q compliment monsieur" Flique said with bow. But there is this Lum We"
 "Lum We hated Parados," Sam uels interrupted. You know that. He and Grainger made that double alibi up between them. Lum We stole and broke the phoenix, and Grainger killed Parados. Lum We and Grainger are the birds we want. I'll soon shake Grainger's motive out of him.
 "Ah, his motive, my friend"
 At that instant shot rang out in the house behind us. For mo- ment we stood rigid. Then Flique bounced onto the grass and in a couple of jackrabbit leaps arrived at the kitchen door. Samuels and I were behind him.
 We heard a scream in the hall and we found Manning with her arms wound around Miss Jahries, who was staring into the library with the mortified expression of one who has stumbled onto a tomb.
 Grainger lay on his face on the hearth with a hole in his back.
 The fire, which he had just lighted, began to crackle.
 Grainger had died with look of astonishment shattering the dig nifty of his expression. The match which ha had kindlad the fire had burned down to his thumb and finger, which still held 1t. The odor of burned powder was distinctly noticeable. .e
 I'm wrong again, Flique," Sam uels said.
 It was as touching a confession of human fallibility as I ever heard. !
 Mrs. Parados pushed in from the hall, Kirk and Gridley, county | detective Ross had left behind, pressed in through the patio win dow, which was wide open, and a l low cry brought my eyes to the west window. Caroline stood there, the window open at her back.
 Which of you found him?' Sam uels demanded of Miss Jahries and :! Manning.

 ANetu Flaror Ordinarily you note little real difference when you change from one brand of cot- fee to another, That is because over 70 per cent of all the coffee entering the United States comes from one common region where Nature gives it the same common taste.
 The Central American coffees that we use are another type altogether. Grown in different country where Nature gives coffee a rare flavor found nowhere else in the world.
 You will realize that this is no ordinary

 The Flaror Test
 Because Folger flavor is so distinctly diff ierent, we make an unusual offer. Buy a pound of this coffee today. Drink it to- morrow morning. Next morning drink the coffee you have been using. The third morning serve Folger's again. If for any reason you do not choose Folger's, your grocer will gladly refund the full price. We'n pay him. That's fair, isn't it?
