who followed, noted that one of
the silver candlesticks that stood
on the baronet's desk had gone.
and his mind went back to the re-
mark of James the butler.
| Colonel Graham had heard the
sound that told him that the scent

The Colonel led the way to the
house and entered the study.

and stayed some time by the way

said, watching keenly. ;

most to drag them from the room.

Colonel muttered. He must have
walked out of that room by the

He closed the door OF the study
and Coats gave the dogs their
heads. They shifted around for
minute, turning first in the die
rection from which they had come
and then picked up along the cor.
ridor without hesitation.
The chase ended at the chapel
door, as he knew it must, and the
hounds gave tongue, scratching at
the door and shifting beneath it
eagerly. The Colonels face had
gone very white. for all his
healthy tan, and the mouth was
hard set beneath his close clipped
mustache.
WHO has the key Of the
chapel?" he rasped out in a
cracked voice.
"Sir Henry" Colindale answered
in a high whisper, for somehow
the grim closed door seemed to
menace them. "He would never
let it out Of his charge on account
of the valuable altar ornaments
and vessels"

Graham snapped. "It is probably

place into two parts, the first of
which was empty and absolutely
bare, but the irregular stones with
which it was paved bore traces OF
inscriptions. It was here that the
monks had buried their abbots in
the old monastic days.
Reid advanced to the iron screen
and flashed his torch into the in
terror. Trestles stood at the end
of the shallow chamber of death,
and upon them lay row of
collins. The Colonel pushed past
him and threw open the gates.
The place was empty and cold with
the chill of the dead.
Nothing here" Colindale whis-
pered in a tone of relief.
With the aid Of Reds torch
they examined the somber row Of
collins, each of which held a
Sewerage who had once been
master Of the Abbey and demesne
Tie number was surprisingly
small, for the family had not been
accustomed to slow death beds,
but had long record of violent
deaths in war or at sea, and few
bodies had found their way to this
sad resting place. Some Of the
dates and names had been obliter-
ated by time. The last in the row
was Sir Henry's father, who had
died at home in his bed.
There's nothing here" Graham
remarked, land yet-it's strange
about that brass. Flash your
light on the roof"
Reid did SO. and the light fell
upon the ancient vaulted stone
arches that supported the chapel.
Immediately above them a dark
patch showed in the stonework, a
square like trap-door. They
looked at one another in question,
and a sense of horror like living
presence crept over each of the
men.
Whats the matter with the
hounds ?" Reid cried in an unnat-
ural shrill voice.
Coats had brought them down,
not having had any instructions
to the contrary. and both noses
were on the ground shifting, and
straining at the leash.
Let them CO." Colonel Graham
said grimly. This last touch of
diablerie had almost shaken his
nerve.
Straight through the gates the
dogs went and sprang at the last
cofin-that of Sir Henry's father,
pulling Coats with them. They
paved and mouthed round the
thing.
Pull them off, for heavens
sake" Colindale shouted. This is
dannnahle."
Coats tore the hounds away
with difficulty.
Come away" Graham said
sternly, catching the agent firmly
by the arm and leading him to-
wards the entrance to that CHASTITY
place. II can't stand much more
of this myself"
Outside in the light of day the
men stood painting in the ante
chapel. Reid had switched Off the

light and closed the doors of the
crypt.
There can be only one explana-
tion," the Colonel said in a hard,
dry voice. However bizarre it
appears, my hounds don't lie. The
body of Sir Henry is in that
coffin"
Reid felt suddenly wet with cold
perspiration. and he gazed fear
fully at the others, seeing a look
of strained horror on each face.
Goats, take the dogs back. We
shan't need them any more. And
mind you, not a single word about
this matter to anyone"
Very good. sir" the small man
replied. He only had remained
quite unruf1ed by the gruesome
business. perhaps because he mad
been completely taken up with his
charges.
In the study of the dead man
the others sat down to discuss the
situation. Colindale fetched de-
canter and glasses, for all felt in
need or a restorative.
This matter has gone beyond
my jurisdiction, Colonel Graham
said. 1T will be a Scotland Yard
investigation, though 1 must in
form the local police as matter
of form"
I'VE are not going to investi.
gate further?" Reid asked. Some.
how the experience through which
they had passed in the last half
hour had drawn these divergent
personalities together in a COM
mon bond.
Certainly not" Graham an
swered decisively. IT shall mere
ly lay the facts as we know them
before the police. and even as a
magistrate expect / shall get my
knuckles raped for not having in
formed them at once, but it was
at first merely disappearance,
not a crime"
You are sure that your theory
is right ?" Reid asked.
"Damme! I haven't a theory.
All we know is that Sir Henry
went to the chapel for some UNI
known reason, and that he was
taken through the floor, and my
hounds ted to that coffin. We are
not going any further with that
it requires experts"
But" Colindale said, and his
face was twisted with horror,
suppose he was put in there
alive"
The Colonel bit his mustache.
II am not DOCTOR" he said slow
! y, but I've had pretty long ex-
perience out east, and in most
parts of the world. The interval
/, is too long. Those collins are lined
with lead. 1 am afraid there is no
doubt whatever that if what you
call my theory is correct, my old
friend has been murdered" r.
Silence fell on the company at
the Omir1ous words. Only the to-
bacco smoke curled up like wisps
from funeral pyre, and the sound
i OF heavy breathing broke the still
ness.

"Of course I'll help" he said
warmly. i've nothing whatever
to do, and no family ties. My
time is my own"
Good! Wen have drink on
that" Colindalc replied, look of
relief, which he tried to hide, APP
pearing mon1entarily in his eyes.
The two men returned to the Alb
hey. Then while Colindale was in
side telling Lady Sewerage what
had taken place. a large limousine
swept up the drive and came to
halt at the head of the bridge over
the lake. Colonel Graham leapt
cut with the agility of a boy, and
a small. ferret-faced man in
CATERS fetched out two blood
hounds, masked and leashed.
Reid led the way across the
bridge and into the central court
where Lady Severinge and Colin
dale were waiting to receive them.
The Colonel greeted T1ilda coldly,
but with extreme politeness.

challengingly. ..
Good! Lead them on, Coats"
Colindale entered the bedroom
with shudder, almost expecting
to see the baronet start up and
ask what all this fuss was about:
but the open bed stared blankly,
and the scattered clothes seemed
to speak Of tragedy.
There was plenty of scent here;
Kirton Dan and Kirton Grim, two

his elf-selected seclusion. He lived to
himself, but entirely for the advantage
of others.
Mr.. Garfinckel's career, perhaps, may
be cited as reminiscent Of that OF the
medieval story Of the unseen builder.
Cathedral masons, 1t was said, found
their efforts aided and abetted by zone

you see," he explained to them, "it is
master who does this. He probably would
not wish to be disturbed at his work."
But there was nothing mythical about
the efficiency of Mr.. Garf1nckers in
Vulnerable benefactions. He took pleas
ure in the management of his resources,
applying to his philanthropies the same
rational processes of constructive thought
that he devoted to his business. Thus it
happened that the money he gave was
doubly useful. 1t pleased him to inspire
generosity in his contemporaries by the
force of definite example. He chal-
lenged rivalry in giving. His country,
his church, the youth of the land, the
arts and sciences, music and drama,
every creative interest of civilization are
richer for both the character and the in
fiuence of his life. A merchant prince in
the best meaning of that phrase he was
and as such he is assured of remem-
brance. Thousands would have applaud
ed him had he permitted them. Now
they salute him with a gratitude in no
degree lessened by its necessary tardi-
ness.

The Voice of the People.

No one seems to know when or where
or by whom it first was suggested that
the voice of the people is, in effect, the
voice of God. A phrase of the same
meaning is quoted as being "of ancient
origin" by William of Malmesbury, his
torian Of early Britain, who died about
1143. But, far more remotely than even
the English chronicler could have
guessed, the idea is represented in the
"Works and Days" of Hesiod, who lived
in the eighth century before Christ. Men,
it seems, began to have faith in. the judg-
ment of the public long before there was
any annalist to record the fact. Democ-
racy is older than the art of writing;
perhaps, indeed, it may be as old as the
art of speaking.
Yet there were skeptics from the be-
ginning. Cicero may be cited as an
example of . whole school Of thought.
He was elected to the aedileship in 10

/, steady nerves is happily able to get rid
Of the new resident without much worry
to himself.
He simply holds open the eye and
pokes q folded handkerchief at the
offender.
The nervous person is not able to do 1t.
Often he Is not able to let any person
do 1t, either.
He closes his eye conyulsively the
moment hand approaches it.
Perhaps this Is just as well, as it saves
him from the unskilled approach of
persons who mean well, but often have
no idea of the delicate nature of the
eye structures.
Poking a handkerchief or other sub
stance after an insect Is not as unwise
as similar action with intent to retrieve
a smaller object, especially such as a
silver Of metal, which imbeds itself in the
eyeball.
It is practically impossible for the
amateur to retrieve such objects. Only
the skilled medical. hand should at
tempt it.
Fortunately the insect, owing to its
size, Is easier to dislodge.
Even the nervous person, after the
nrst shock Is over, can do a great deal
toward helping himself If he will spread
the eyelidS as far apart as possible and
carefully inspect the eye with a view
toward making an exact location of the
offender.
Almost always the insect, if such it be,
Is killed by the bath it has taken.
Usually 1t lodges in the inside corner
Of the eye next the nose.
Often it tends to work" itself out in
the eye and higher, so that it often is
reached easily enough by bit of alb
sorbent cotton moiStened with water and
carefully folded over the blunt end of
toothpick, forming a swab.
Extreme care must be taken to cover
completely the end of the wood, and also
to see that there are no loose ends of
cotton.
The swab is carefully approached to
the bug.
The idea is not to poke him out, but
to touch him merely, with the hope that
he will adhere to the wet cotton.
This form Of approach is used only if
the insect is in the corner of the eye or
down in the bottom Of the lower lid.
II elsewhere go to the optician or
doctor.
The nervous person, above ALL must not
permit himself to become unduly excited
If he cannot catch his insect at the first
try.
Nor should he continue to try, try
again; this is not one Of the times when
the old admonition works well.
The thing to do is to try a bit, then
give over the attempt for a time, not
only in order that the insect may work
itself closer to the edge Of the lid, but
also that the nerves of the operator may
calm down.
Often such foreign object" will work
itself entirely out in half an hours sleep
and be found entirely outside on awaken
ing.
The best remedy, however is certainly
that of not getting anything in the eye,
If possible. One can never be sure. but
by keeping the eyes slightly closed, by
realizing that to open them widely is
to run risk, by not looking sideways,
and by noting particularly whether in
SectS are on the wing-as they often are
during warmer days in the Fall-the sus-
ceptible person may do a great deal to
protect himself.

Inequities in Handling
Relief in Washington

To the Editor OF The Star:
In a letter. which appeared in your
column of October %, Mr.. George w.
Watson asks "if the relief problem Of
the District Is being administered in
such a way as to put a premium on
mendicancy."
On reflection, and from a wide ac-
quaintance with the local relief and w.
P. A. set-ups, I am inclined to answer
Mr.. WatSon's question in the affirma-
tive, but want to go further and say
that the wave of petty crimes now being
committed daily in the District are due
to the relief situation.
The present situation is such that no
matter how well deserving man may
be, regardless of the number of de-
pendents he may have, so long as he is
employable-that is, able to work, were
it possible for him to obtain work-wel-
fare authorities will not accept him for
relief nor certify him as being in need
of work Ito the Works Progress Ad-
ministration).
The obvious result of this policy has
been not only an increase in the number
of panhandlers on the streets, but like
wise an increase in the number of petty
crimes committed in the District.
While the blame for this tragic state
Of affairs must be put upon the last
Congress, which refused to appropriate
any funds to continue relief to employ
ables. still the Welfare Board. by its
refusal to certify those who have become
unemployed within the past six months,
has contributed to the misery and hard
ship these people are being forced to
undergo.
The Welfare Board maintains that it
has not sufficient personnel to investi-
gate whether these people are in need:
yet apparently, it has sufficient per-
sonnel to conduct study of its former
relief clients, who, incidentally, number
in the thousands, as to what they are
now doing-a study which could have
been delayed until q later date, in view
Of the present distressing, situation
