One of the exceedingly popular
newcomers of the terrier family
which vies in America today with
the wirehaired fox terrier and
other recognized terrier breeds is
the Sealyham.
They were first recognized in
English shows in 1910. This wiry-
coated long-backed dog of short
legs and impressive head, derives
it's name from the town in which
the breed originated.
The breed has been maintained
in England like the cairn terrier
which is smaller in size, for endur.
ance and ability to fight game
underground.
His head should be both broad
and long, but without coarseness
and in perfect balance with his
body. He should weigh approx
mately 20 pounds and not be more
than II inches in height. His legs
should be strong with good bone
and hind legs not longer than
forelegs. Although soft, his coat
should be weather resisting and
extremely dense. Tail should be
docked and carried upright and in
color he should be all white or
with tan or yellow markings.

three horizontal sections with narrow
bands of chromium. The upper wall

"She didn't" said Blackwood curtly.

"What do Won mean?'

"She didn't" said Blackwood curtly.
II mean she didn't kill Rita
what do you mean?'
"She was obviously killed, herself,
because somebody was afraid she knew
who did kill Rita"
That's plausible" admitted Fem
tress. But why should anybody sus-
pect her Of knowing?"
IF Janice knew Rita at all we'll,
the murderer may have known she
did-may have figured that Rita had
told Janice she was in danger, or
something like that. II Janice really
loaned her the revolver, it was because
Rita was afraid Of something. There
may have been conversation between
them"
Its all may you see," objected the
lawyer. THE only real suspicion that
could attach to Janice Hume, as a
woman with dangerous knowledge,
would arise, 1t seems to me. out of her
activities in Rita Wingheld's apart
ment Sunday night-when you saw
her. But who would know about that
other than ourselves?"
Blackwood recognized the force of
the argument. He shrugged. I'VE

one else could have seen her, too"
Fentress, he realized, was obliquely
directing his attention to : Ida Lam

beginning that Zelda herself might
have murdered Janice.

claimed, Il may know the answer to
your question, after all! Something

somebody with Janice in that apart

OF 1t. Could it have been the mur-
derer-the double murderer perhaps?
What an idea"
Fentress was astonished. You saw
somebody with her? And forgot it?"
He laughed helplessly. Zelda Lansing
merely stared.

on note Of apology. "Or her-or
whoever it may have been. That's
why forgot. But as I started down
the fire escape I thought I heard
voices. The bed room window was
slightly open and I assumed that two
people we're talking inside. But when
I looked-there was only Janice. I
concluded had been mistaken or
that the voices had drifted up from

afterward.' Which, of course, was
true. I was simply trying to startle

Piatigorsky Here
In Concert Next
Monday Night

Gre sor Piatigorsky, cellist VINO
will open the concert series Monday
night for the Imperial Valley Mu-
sic Teachers association, has earned
a reputation as one of the greatest
musicians in the world in a life full
CT hardships and excitement.
At the tender age Of six his mu-
sical genius was apparent but his
family. fairly well-to-do Russians,
refused to let their son appear in
concert exploiting his talents. BY
the time the boy was nine years Oh
age the family had met with re-
verses and on his own Initiative
the small boy set out to get a Joo.
He played after school in thea
tres for concerts, for movies ana
had made a great name for nlm-
self even as far back as 1914 when
the World war broke out.
With the Russian revolution, the
Soviet, recognizing his genius, re-
fused to permit him TO leave the
country and yet there was no
money for musicians. After months
of planning Piatigorsky escaped to
Poland with a band of smugglers
who first robbed him of all money
and most of his clothing. After
many privations in Warsaw luck IL
nally turned his way and he sub
stituted for cellist who was taken
| i'll. Over night he became famous
and after study and meteoric rise
in Europe, he made his first tour
| in America in 1929 where he won
unprecedented triumph for cellist.
Piatigorsky is the proud owner
of one of the best instruments IN
existence, a genuine Amati cello
given him by five wealthy Berlin
| friends who learned that this price
less instrument was about to be sent
to the United States for sale.
Piatigorsky will appear In con-
cert at 8:15 Monday night in wilson
school and season tickets may be
obtained from any music teacher.
