established this case for me-that
she could hear Ace Blake and Mr..
Hexson talking in the Spinney. That
you see was my last link. Now I
have to go back and tell you that
when we all went into the Spinney,
after Sarah Darbe discovered Ace,
found something. Nobody else
saw it and I've never spoken of it
to anybody. On the bark at the
base Of the nearest white birch
were three drops of what appeared
to be green ink It was a loose
piece of birch bark. I tore it off
and put it into my pocket"
Patrick drew out his bill-fold
From it he nipped an envelope.
From the envelope he drew piece
of birch bark and handed it to me.
On it were three green ink spots.

Il managed to find out if there was
any green ink in any house on the
Head. Perhaps you can remem-
Der now that I got two of the wit
nesseS / examined in this house to
lend me their fountain pens. Mel
Their of them used green ink. I had
asked Ken Winslow to hold up any
letter that came through the post
office written with green ink. But
none came. When I came in from
my talk with Sylvia on the piazza
believe me was boiling with ex-
citement-there you stood with a
written list of some kind in your
hands. And all the items on it were
written in green ink. When you
told me that you had made that list
at Bruce Hexson's, l knew. It
made sense with what Sylvia told
me-"
'But Patrick" I exclaimed,
'what were either of those men
doing with a fountain pen that
night?"
well, I think / know" Patrick
answered. but I can't prove it..
And so I'm never going to say
anything about this green ink.
You're the only person I'm going
to tell, Mary, and you're going to
keep your mouth closed over it as
long as you live"
I nodded.
First place l thought it strange
that after Doctor Marden had made
his accusation of Ace in Bruce Hex
sons presence, that Hexson-feel-
ing as he did toward hirn-let Ace
drive him back to his camp. In
the second place, Hexson's account
of what Ace said to Doctor Mar
den in your Spinney disagreed with
Doctor Marden's account. Accord
ing to Doctor Marden, Ace said
that he was going to change his
will. According to Bruce HeXson,
Ace said he had changed his will.
At once I figured that Hexson's con-
fession wasn't entirel-, on the level.
He was trying understand me
with the best motives-he was try
ing to put something over. And he
has put it over. Ace Blake did not
sign that new will at Bruce Hex
sons place the afternoon of the mas
querade. He signed it in your Spin
ney. Bruce Hexson typed it out,
carried it with his pistol and his
fountain pen to Jour place. He
made Ace sign it. He gave Ace
his pen and Ace did what we all
do when he found the pen wouldn't
work at once. He shook it. Three
drops of ink fell at the base of that
white birch"

"Well, Sylvia and I were out on

got onto the subject of Dorinda
Belle. l can't for the life of me re-

Sylvia told me this story. She said
that after Marden left the Stow

she had left Dorinda Belle down by
the Merry Mere. She said that she
couldn't bear to have Dorinda Belle

She didn't want to ask you if she
could go get her for fear you
wouldn't let her. And so she too
went out through the little garage

few minutes to find the doll and run
back-stopping only to put Dorinda
Belle inside your house"

Higgins Squelch

a Classic RetOrt

TALES told around town that

folks:
There was the time, fifteen years
or so ago, when Babe Ruth had not
yet become the model of propriety
that he is today. Then the papers
were full of his off the field antics
and the dugout gossip was that little
Miller Higgins could never learn to
handle him.
That kept up for months. Some
observers were laying long odds
that Babe could never last because
of the playboy pace he was setting.
Others were equally sure there was
only one solution of the problem.
Modest, frail little Hug, not par
ticularly celebrated player in his
own day, was not fit to be compared
to this newly arrived star of all
stars. The thing to do was have him
succeed Higgins as manager. Then
all would be well.

Fo'c'sle Was Castle for
Soldiers in DAYS of Old

In sea stories you often read
about the fo'c'sle-the forward part
of the vessel under the deck where
the sailors have their quarters.
The name is short for forecastle,
says Pearson's London Weekly, and
it comes from the days when ships
were built mainly for fighting. Then
the forecastle was actually a castle
in the fore part of the ship a
strongly built structure which COM
manded view of the enemy ships.
This forecastle also provided shell
ter for the men who did the fight
ing-soldiers in those days, for the
sailors only worked the ship and
had nothing to do with the scrap

Says: -
It's a Good Start

He who puts his best foot for
ward stands the best chance Of
getting there with both feet.
There is always a right way to
settle our problems, but most Of
our troubles are caused by trying
to avoid that way.
Marriage has been defined as
when a girl exchanges the at
tentions of a dozen men for the
inattentions of one.
When a sociable man has min
ute to spare, he goes and bothers
some other man who is busy.
Where the Praise Belongs
A self-made man never ceases
to praise his maker.
Hard work is the yeast that
raises the dough.
We love 1.-THE Star-Spangled
Banner" because we can't get too
familiar with it. It is too hard to
sing for that.
1t is far better to fail in a good
cause than to succeed in a bad
one.
Building Is the Task
It is easier for a man to be the
architect of his own future than
the builder of it.
Don't annoyingly assert your
rights if it is a matter of no great
moment.
A strict mother often makes an
indulgent grandmother.

(Bv The ASSoclateo freSSt
 JUNEAU, Sept. 20, The AL aska Unemployment Compensa- ton Commission today mailed contribution forms to all employ CTS who have admitted liability under the Alaska law.
 These forms are to be used by employers in computing the Ter ritorial Unemployment Compen- sation contribution on wages cov- ering the first nine months Of 1887. This tax is due on or be- fore October 3l, 1887. Employers are required to fill out the form al. '-eturn it to the Territor- ial Unemployment Compensation Commission, Box 266l, Juneau, Alaska, together with the contri- buttons due.
 The Alaska Unemployment Compensation Commission wish es to advise employers that the obligation to obtain report form and pay the contribution before the due date, October 31, is the responsibility of the individual employer. All employers subject to Title TX of the Federal Social Security Act are also subject to the Territorial tax. The fact that an employer is not liable under Title TX of the Federal Social Security Act does not necessar- fly exempt him from the Alaska law.
 Employers will be given credl' for the amount of the tax, which is l.8T of their total payroll, or the employer excise tax levied by the Federal Government under Title TX of the Federal Social Sc cllrity Act.
 The Commission suggests tha' any employer who has failed te receive a liability report. or hal received one and has failed tt complete and return same, con tact the Juneau office.
