The World Of Music

Whereas rain checks were is
sued for several Of the scheduled
Sylvan Theater productions this
season, last night it was almost
advisable to issue dust checks for
the Bekefi-Deleporte dance per-
Torrance. Someone failed to
sprinkle the sod of the stage
with the result that the dancers
were working at a great disad-
vantage in a dust cloud.
Billy Lytel knew what he was
about when he named the first
tap dance number, Dust, Dust,
My Pretty Maids" They busted
and 1t arose in a choking cloud.
None of the dancers found it
necessary to dust their shoes
with powdered resin.
What pity that such a superb
ballet presentation as LES Mil
lions harlequin" should have
been marred by such an easily
remedied fault, to say nothing of
the hardship imposed upon the
d a ncerS when they had to
breathe the dustladen air. When
a group of such talented dancers
give such finished performance,
they should be given every ad-
vantage possible from the man
agement Of these outdoor pres
entations.
The general audience was so
large that it must have been a
record crowd for the season, If
not for several seasons. The va
rious dances and ballet numbers
were given a most enthusiastic
greeting.
The mimicry of the ballet LES

to follow is to have at least two
cooked vegetables, one green and

slightly irritable tone:

for a bead seller?"
Ellie objected: She might not

door - and he forced his way in and
killed her"
Poirot shook his head. "An eon-
troire. She was lying peacefully in bed
when she was stabbed"
Miss Henderson stared at him.
Whats your idea?" she asked
abruptly.
Poirot smiled. well, it looks. does
it not. as though she knew the person
she admitted. -"
You mean," said Miss Henderson
and her voice sounded little harsh,

Poirot nodded. "Itseems indicated"
And the string of beads left on the
floor was a blind?"
Precisely"

Exactly"
There was pause. then Miss
Henderson said slowly: II Thought
Mrs. Clapperton very unpleasant
woman and l don't think anyone on
board really liked her - but there
wasn't anyone who had any reason to
kill her."
Except her husband. perhaps"
said Poirot.

stopped.

Poirot that l myself have not noted
any signs of evaporation on the good
Colonel's part. Also. what is more i'm
portant, he had an alibi. He was with
those two girls all day and did not
return to the ship till four O'Clock. By
then, Mrs. Clapperton had been
dead many hours"
There was another minute Of silence.
Ellie Henderson said softly: But you
still think - a passenger on the ship?'

Don't you believe itr' The old
warrior closed one knowing eye.
She'll be up for tifin - and if the
poor devils found to be absent with
out leave, there'll be ructions."
But the Generals representations
were not fulfilled. Mrs. Clapperton
did not appear at lunch and by the
time the Colonel and his attendant
damsels returned to the ship at four
O'Clock, she had not shown herself.
Poirot was in his cabin and heard
the husbands slightly guilty knock on
his cabin door. Heard the knock re-
peated. the cabin door tried, and
finally heard the Colonel's call to a
steward.
Look here, l can't get an answer.
Have you a key"
Poirot rose quickly from his bunk
and came out into the passage.
The news went like wildfire round
the ship. With horrifed incredulity
people heard that Mrs. Clapperton
had been found dead in her bunk -
a native dagger driven through her
heart. A string of amber beads was
found on the floor of her cabin.
Rumor succeeded rumor. All bead
sellers who had been allowed on board
that day we're being rounded up and
questioned! A large sum in cash had
disappeared from a drawer in the
cabin! The notes had been tracedl
They had not been traced! Jewelry

people had retired to their cabins.
Miss Henderson led Poirot to a couple
of deck chairs on the sheltered side of
the ship. ''Now tell me-" she CON-

Poirot surveyed her thoughtfully.
Its an interesting case," he said.
"Is it true that she had some very

shiver. ANY clue as to which of those
coffee -coloured brutes did it?"
NO" said Hercule Poirot. The
whole thing is rather - strange"
What do you mean?" asked Ellie
sharply.
Poirot spread out his hands. "Eh
bien - take the facts. Mrs. Clapper-
ton had been dead at least five hours
when she was found. Some money had
disappeared. A string of beads was
on the floor by her bed. The door was
locked and the key was missing. The
window - ,cindow, not port-hole

"Well?" asked the woman impa-

murder to be committed under those
particular circumstances? Remember

The following evening. at dinner,
every passenger found typewriter
slip by his plate requesting him to be
in the main lounge at $50. When the
company were assembled. the Cap
tain stepped onto the raised platform
where the orchestra usually played
and addressed them.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you all
know of the tragedy which took place
yesterday l am sure you all wish to
cooperate in bringing the perpetrator
of that foul crime to justice" He
paused and cleared his throat. I'VE
have on board with US M. Hercule
Poirot who is probably known to you
all as man who has had wide expe-
rience in - er - such matters. hope
you will listen carefully to what he has
to say"
1t was at this minute that Colonel
ClappertOn who had not been at
dinner came in and sat down next to
General Forbes. He looked like a man
bewildered by sorrow - not at all
like a man conscious of great relief.
Either he was very good actor or
else he had been genuinely fond of his
disagreeable wife.
IN. Hercule Poirot," said the
Captain and stepped down. Poirot
took his place. He looked comically
self-important as he beamed on his
audience.
'Messisnrs, Mesd0mss." he began.

made a sign and steward pushed
forward and passed up to him bulky,
shapeless object wrapped in a sheet.
What I am about to do may sur
prise you a little" Poirot warned
them. 1T may occur to you that l am
eccentric, perhaps mad. Nevertheless
assure you that behind my madness
there is - as you English say = a
method"
His eyes met those of Miss Hender-
son for just a minute. He began
unwrapping the bulky object.
II have here. MessisSss and Mss-

truth of who killed Mrs. Clapperton. !"
With a deft hand he whisked away
the last enveloping cloth. and the
object it concealed was revealed -

he found the two girls all ready to go
on shore. They were talking to Colonel

Kitty. The passport people will be
going off the ship presently. You'll
come with rs, won't you? You wouldn't
let us 60 ashore all by ourselves?
Awful things might happen to US"
II certainly don't think you ought
to go by yourselves" said Clapperton
snaing. But I'm not sure my wife
feels up to it."
That's too bad" said Pam. But
she can have nice long rest.
Colonel Clapperton looked a little
irresolute. Evidently the desire to
play truant was strong upon him. He
noticed Poirot.
''Hullo. M. Poirot - you going
ashore?''
mo, 1 think not" M. Poirot re-
piled.
"I'l-I III just have a word with
Adeline," decided Colonel Clapper-
ton.
We'll come with you," said Pam.
She flashed g wink at Poirot. Per
haps we can persuade her to come
too" she added gravely.
Colonel Clapperton seemed to vel
come this suggestion. He looked
decidedly relieved.
Come along then, the pair of you,
he said lightly. They all three went
along the passage Of B deck together.
Poirot. whose cabin was just
opposite the Clappertons, followed
them out of curiosity.
Colonel Clapperton raped a little
nervously at the cabin door.
"Adeline, my dear, are you up?
The sleepy voice of Mrs. Clapper-
ton from within replied. "Oh bother
- what is it?''
Its John. What about going
ashore?"
Certainly not" The voice was
shrill and decisive. I've had a very
bad night. l shall stay in bed most Of

Pam nipped in quickly. "Oh, Mrs.
Clapperton. I'm so sorry. We did so
want you to come with US. Are you
sure you're not up to it?"
I'm quite certain" Mrs. Clapper-
tons voice sounded even shriller.

handle without result.

locked. don't want to be disturbed
by the stewards"
''Sorry. my dear. sorry. Just

Mrs. Clapperton. 'Im not going to

Certainly, certainly. my dear.
The Colonel backed away from the
door. Pam and Kitty closed in on him.
Lets start at once. Thank good
ness your hats on your head. Oh!

 They Want to Eat!
 The tremendous response Jack Dempsey received for his nation wide heavyweight tournament shows which way the wind is blowing. The former heavyweight champion was showed under with requests for chances to enroll under his banner. There is magic in that name-Jack Dempsey.
 Judging by the tone of some of the pleas, there are plenty of can- didates who have unlimited faith in the old Manassa Mauler's ability to transform them into all-conquer- ing fighters in a few easy tand painless) lessons. Others indicated that Dempsey's connection with the restaurant business (therefore in- surfing them of three square meals a day) would weigh heavily in their decisions to leave happy homes to join the white crusade. Others were simply tired of the uneventful life a truck driver leads.
 The first round of the Dempsey tournament held in New York re- gently failed to uncover any likely looking prospects. A couple of the
 
 lads did well enough, but the ma iority did a pretty good job of elim- mating themselves. It is safe to bet that the episode was followed hy back . to . the trucking job movement.
 Dempsey himself is by no means discouraged over the failure to turn up a potential champion at the first showing. He hardly ex- pected to do that. His idea is that it will take some time to find the right man, but that he will have world of fun to compensate him for his efforts in the meantime.
