SYNOPSIS


 When CHARLES MORDEN, re- porter for The Blade, is found dead DAN BLEEKER, publish- or, employs SIDNEY GRIEF, Famous criminOlogist, to solve the murder.
 Mortlen had been Investigating the affairs of FRANK B. CA THAY, wealthy and prominent, following the arrest of an tm- pOstor claiming to he Cathay and accompanied by a girl calI- cd MARY BRIGGS.
 The day following Morden's death Cathay dies of poisoning.
 Grin learns Morden had visit cd the apartment of ALICE HORTON who has reported the disappearance of her roommate, ESTHER ORDWAY. Grin ques- tiOns Alice and instructs detec- tives to shadow her.
 Grin and Blocker go to the apartment occupied by KEN METH BOONE, friend of Alice's Alice is there. Griff accuses the pair of killing Morden and calls police headquarters. He and Blocker then go to an address where MRS CATHAY and RA- CINE, n detective she is employ ing, are comforting with MRS BLANCHE MALONE. When Grin tells them Alice Lorton has been arrested Mrs Malone screams.
 CHAPTER XXXI1
 Mrs Cathay stood perfectly still, her head thrown back. her chin in the air. Her manner was that of having steeled herself against showing any emotion.
 The woman who had given her name as Blanche Stanway strode toward Griff.
 "You lie!" she screamed. You're a dirty liar!'
 Griff continued to watch Mrs Cathay.
 Racine had tiptoed to the door of the room. He jerked it open, said to Mrs Cathay, Come on. Let's get out of here. He's trying to keep us here. He's stalling for time"
 Blanche Stanway stopped with in couple of feet of Griff. Her face was twisting with emotion. The corners of her hard, defiant mouth turned down. Tears came, to her eyes. She broke into harsh sobs. Mrs Cathay swept toward the door which Racine was holding open, but the detective did not wait for her to join him. He turn ed toward the. corridor, took half a dozen rapid steps and then broke into a run. His feet could be heard thudding down the corridor.
 Griff said in a low voice to Mrs Stanway, I'm sorry"
 She looked at him through tear flooded eyes, took groping step toward him, dropped her head to his shoulder and clung to his coat with the work bent fingers or leathery hands.
 Griff patted her shoulders reas- suringly.
 sThere, there" he said, tits go- ing to be all right"
 s'Damn you!" she sobbed. See my lawyer you cheap heel!"
 Tn the taxicab Griff seemed in high spirits. "Observe, Blocker, he said, sswhat an interesting thing the truth is. Falsehoods may be built up which seem to have the appear ance of truth, but they have no fou3dation to back them. They are like mirages, like the fronts of structures which are used in mo-

and it is dangerous for you to have information which can, at the pres ent time, lead onIy to suspicious suspicious which we can, perhaps, prove with an absolute certainty, but suspicious that must not be voiced.
 "I am not only telling you of those suspicious, I'm even trying not to think of them. We never know just how this strange phe- nomenon that we call mental tele- pathy acts. It is, perhaps, the effect of one mind impinginS upon the subconsciouS mind of another. Perhaps. frequently, such a sub. conscious mind is fully aware Of the thing which comes as devas- tating surprise to the conscious mind, but, whatever it is, we can not afford to take chances with it.. "How many times have you Known of some secret and have told that secret to friend, only to have the information leak out, not because of something the friend said CT because of something you yourself said, but because you al- EOWcd yOQL uPOiA tAAS AAieAS ter to crystalize in words, and those thoughts were picked up by another?.
 "The wise inventor takes no one into his confidence until his idea is perfected and patented. The man who discusses his incomplete plans with friend is likely to find that some other inventor, acting inde- ;, diffnr. ent part of the country, suddenly pounces upon the basic idea, per- haps in a more advanced, form than the first inventor even con- templated, and rushes it through to a patent"
 "I," said Blocker grimly, don't believe in all that stuff" Griff's smile was irritating.
 My friend" he said, "I do not ask you to. am telling you only what I believe and it is my belief that must govern"
 "Why wouldn't Blanche Stanway make any statement?" asked Blocker abruptly. "Why couldn't you get her to talk"
 The smile faded from Griff's face "She is, beyond doubt" he agreed, woman of great determination. but you, too, my friend, would have determination if you had scrubbed floors for years There is nothing. perhaps, that makes more for determination, so far as ones rights are concerned, than kneel- ing, forever scrubbing through a routine of drudgery. She was. per- haps, at one time beautiful. In fact I think we may safely assume that she was beautiful. Her beauty was not the fragile. aristocratic beauty of Mrs Cathay but it was perhaps warmer. more vital beauty; a beauty that was filled with fire and spirit; a beauty which lured men away from the realm of thought and into the emotional realm of the senses"
 'I suppose" Blocker said. that you're intimating she was his wife, perhaps an unmarried wife. bat nevertheless the mother of the girl?"

 Fisher, the lawyer, discIOses some interesting facts about Frank Cathay's insurance policies in the next installment.

a mink coat completed her en- semble.
 Mrs George B. St George wore a printed gown under her ermine wrap with silver fox collar. Inci- dentally, her coiiffure was some thing worthy of mention. Waved softly backward from her fore head, with a few fringy bangs in front, it certainly flattered her face and neck.

BELL-RINGING EGG TIMERsI

The cook may entirely disregard the closk during the anxious moments when the cooking of an egg is nearing completion. When the eggs are placed in boiling water an hour glass. or rather minute glass. is turned, which is set to measure just the right boiling timn. On the instant the sands of the glass run out an ingenious con trivance rings warning bell, The same contrivance, which has been demonstrated at the Leipzig Fair, proves invaluable in homes and business offices in measuring the length of telephone calls.

It had a full skirt, gathered at the waistline' and a frilly jabot of real lace. Many of the fabric draps were trimmed with silver fox. Dona Marina Torlonia, seated beside Adrian Van Sinderen. was swathed in a floor-length velvet wrap with
 enormous silver fox collar. On her
 wrists were expensive-looklns jeweled bracelets that flashed
 brightly whenever she raised her hands to applaud.

S}p YOUR ~H4ILDREN
 By Olive Roberts Barton

In connection with the Otsery- ance of Children's Book Week from November II to IT. Olive Roberts Barton has prepared n special series of six daily articles on Children Books for The Dcmc- crat. The first, discussing books for tiny tots, follows: It is beyond the power of this pen to give even honorable men tion to all the hundreds of excel lent books for children published today.
 In seeking new and authorita- tive lists compounded by this spe- cialist and that over the country, I find myself confronted by a stag gering amount of material that would take a volume in itself to publish.
 The best I can do, therefore, is to mention in these articles such books as I know either personally, or that appeal to me by variety of classification.
 A cross section may give par
 ents some idea as to the nature of books ideal for children of cer- tain age. \ ScIcCt ItOOkS IOuEsCu My advice in buying books IS always, "Go to the store or book shop and see for yourself. You know better than I what kind of book your Johnny or Sue or Wal ter would enjoy" Children's Book Week was es- tablished many years ago with the purpose of helping. parents wit3 the book needs of their boys and girls.
 The holidays approach. Book buying is always part of Christ mas shopping. Instead of leaving it to the last, rushing in and say : ing to tired clerk, I want a book for Thus and Such who is This and That" it is much more comfortable to go early, take your time and enjoy doing it. Every body will have better time. Books for Tiny Tots Are there other books for tiny Tims beside the precious "Mothef Goose?
 Yes, indeed, even though Tim may only be two years old. From two to four there are such books as:
 I tlC A ID V ouAIAys
 "The Happy Hen."
 Robbie and Donnie Were Twins"
 "Father Gander."
 "Dean Rag Books" "Baby's First Book"
 "Baby's Picture Book"
 "The Cock, the Mouse and
 the Little Red Hen"
 "Three Little Pigs"
 Three Bears"
 Three Little Kittens"
 "Tale of Tommy Tiptoes."
 "Tale of Squirrel Nutkin."
 Little Gray Goose"
 "Little White Teddy Bear.''
 Little Wooden Doll"
 "Our Alphabet of Toys"
 "Angue and the Cat"
 Nonsense Songs"
 Fairies and Chimneys."
 Nursery Tales Children Love" contains such stories as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" ''The Ginger bread Boy," Chicken Little," and many others. Pictures Appeal to TOddlers A child won't enjoy books as such, much before he is three or three and a half. The younger ones love big bright pictures, un- terable prints they can carry about with simple litle stories and simple bright pictures. Little children love to hear their pet stories told or read over and over again. They love to carry their books around and look at pictures. Much color is desirable in these little books. Publishers have looked out for that.

Degrees Of Murder

F. Murder Is malicious killing; that
is, killing that Is planned in al
vance. The law. notes Literary
Digest, recognizes no distinction
between murder and assassination,
though an assassin who kills as q
result Of fanaticism may be ad-
judged insane, and thus escape q
death sentence. There are three
degrees of murder: first degree, I'M
lawful and malicious killing with
deliberation and generalization; Sec
ond degree, unlawful and malicious
killing without elaboration and
premeditatiori; third degree. the
killing Of q human being without
any intention to cause death by one
engaged in the, commission Of Q
felony.

Spotted Horses

Mixed color patterned horses
are commonly referred to as pin,
tos." If the combination Is black
and white some call them piebalds
and If the color pattern is other
than black with white they may
be referred to- as skewbalds. How
ever, most horsemen call all these
odd marked horses Pintos. Tiget

Littl. Danger From Meteors

Though meteorites do strike the
earth, there is little cause to worry
about death or injury from them.
Within historical times only one
person is known to have been
killed by a meteorite. They have
been known to strike In but few,
cities and towns and several build
ings have been struck. Further
more, it is estimated that onfg
about three persons in a million
ever get a reasonably closeup view
of a meteorite's landing.
