CHAPTER v

Just outside the door, on his
hands and knees, pushing q
huge toy automobile, was
young Roderick Adair. He was
very slight, pale-faced and with
q frightened look in his eyes.
AS Gerald rushed by him the
little lad cringed against the
wall. He had scarcely had
time to resume his playing
when his father, Belfridge,
came into view.
The father spoke a few words
in a sharp tone, which those
in the library were unable to
make out, but the little lad,
without a word. picked UP the
toy and went hurriedly across
the room. The older Adair
was about to leave when Cap
tain Blake called his name.
Belfridge came slowly into the
library. He answered the queS-
tions Blake put to him, but in
no way was he able to throw
any light on the killing.
I'VE always retire early. Sat
urday night I and my wife
went to our room at 10 o'clock.
In less than half an hour we
were asleep, We woke UP
when you rang the outer bell.
The hoV VotI lust saw was

isn't it peculiar that no one
heard the shot which killed
your brother?"
Those who sleep with the
Slumber Of the righteous, sleep
soundly. There is nothing
strange in that"
But someone did hear it,"
Robin Dale said that, as much
to the surprise, Of Blake and
Jardin as Relfridge Adair.
"That fool who was Just here
might have told you that 8.
but would you be as much Of a
fool as he and believer"
When they were finally alone
in the library Robin Dale Of
fered the first important sug-
gestion he had made in the
case.
IF I were you. Captain
Blake, would make certain
that young Gerald was not left
out of the sight Of one Of my
men until tomorrow noon. The
young mans mind Is peculiar
enough, so that you will not be
able to get another word out
of him until the time he stated.
However, it is also possible that

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Should the arrangement Of
the forks for a dinner table be
such that one starts at the in
side, working outward, or vice
versa? INTERESTED.
"Vice Versa" The silver pieces
should be placed on the table
in the order in which they are
to be used-so that the last one
used is the one nearest the plate.
Begin at the outside and work
toward the plate" is the usual
slogan to remember. That is
why the oyster fork Is fartheSt

the plate, and the soup spoon

knife. then the diner knife, near
est the plate. On the left side
of the plate are, first chat is.
farthest from the plate), the
entree or fish fork, then the
dinner fork, and then the salad
fork. The utensils for the da6-
sert course (spoon only, or spoon
and fork or knife and fork) are
usually brought in with the des-
Sert.
The other day I was going
down town during my lunch
hour and my employers son,
who works at the office, also
was going. Was it right for
me to expect him to pay my
carfare?
No, it was not correct for you
to expect" that he should pay
your fare. Indeed, it would
have been the best form If you
would have taken for granted
that you we're to pay your own
fare. Unless a girl has been in
vited by a gentleman to accom-
pany him to a certain place or
to certain entertainment. she
should take it for granted that
she pays her own fare.

The Marry Go-Round

Love kindleth the aspiration;
infatuation wrecketh the appe-

and sometimes the purse and
the conscience.
Infatuation saith, II love thee.
NOW" Love saith. 81 will love

Love trusteth. believeth and

Love sacrificeth all things; In
fatuation demandeth all things!
Infatuation is a dope" which
goeth to the head, deceiveth
the senses and bringeth dag
zling dreams; love is q tonic
which Stimulateth the heart,
stirreth the pulses and Steadieth
the spirit.
Love humbleth the egotiSTn
and maketh faint the courage:
but infatuation feedeth the.
vanity and inflateth the nerve"
Verify, verify infatuation is
temporary state of being "in
love''-but love is the extreme
sentence; and, once in, thou art

Therefore, do the gods smile
upon love. But when they be-

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The other day I noticed q
letter in your column from a
girl Of II who said she was
in love with q young man who
had q farm next to hers. Her
account Of herself was so like
my own lfe-and death-I was
going to say, that I couldn't
help writing this letter. When
I was Is years old fell in
live with q young farmer who
lived near US. He. didn't own
his own farm but worked for
his father who never gave him
any allowance but an occa-
! sional small bill. never more
than S.. I married this man
and have been an unpaid SER
want in his fathers house ever
since. I've had to help with
the heavy farm work, even
when my baby was only 10
days old. I am so tied up
with them now that there is
no escape for me. I have three
lovely children and that's all I
live for-tell that girl to be
warned by my fate. AS for
criticising her biscuits, that
farmer is starting off fine.
A DISCOURAGED
FARMERS WIFE.
Thank you for stopping to
write me, my dear farmers wife,
taking time to do that must have
cost you some precious leisure.
Well hope the 17-year-old girl
will consider your letter before
taking any decisive steps. AS to
your own case, you'll have to
deal in futuritieS," or wait for
the long pull" as they say on
the stock market. Those three
children that mean everything
to you now, will mean more to
you after they grow up. There
is no investment like children
If a mother will spare enough
time in getting acquainted with
them. Make them her friends
instead OF treating them as a
monitor. II they help you out
with the dishes, and other
occasionally, you've got much
chores, because you're d COM

in Winter there was nothing to fear
from them.
Il believe I'll climb up there and

to himself. I'D like to see what it is
like inside. There is nothing to be
afraid of now. If any wasps stayed In
that nest all Winter they are either
dead by this time or asleep, and had
just as soon have two or three to eat"
So Chatterer started to climb up to
the nest. But he had hardly left the

OF course, there may not be any wasps

is better to play safe than to be sorry,
however. We shall have some more cold
days yet and q cold day is the kind of
day to poke around in q wasps' nest.
I'll wait for q cold day"
So Chatterer jumped down to the
ground and once more began poking
around under the leaves, searching for
hazel nuts. He didn't give that nest
another thought. He didn't even look
up at 1t. All the time a pair of black,
bright eyes were watching Chatterer.
They were the eyes of Whitefoot, the
Wood Mouse. Inside, Whitefoot was
chuckling. For a few minutes, while
Chatterer had started to climb up in
that bush, Whitefoot had thought that
his secret surely would be discovered,
But now that Chatterer was no longer
even looking at the nest, Whitefoot felt
that his secret was still safe.
