Asa Tame smiled without mirth,
and drew from his pocket small
square bottle. "Here it isl" he said.
There was a moments incredu-
lous hush; then Inspector Heale
asked sharply: ''How do you know
this is it?"
"I've seen it often enough" Asa
declared.
''Where? When?"
''Kitty liked to play sgrande
dame'," Asa explained. "She used
to hold receptions in bed. She'd
stay in bed half the day, sometimes.
Rab and I liked her; and we used to
60 up and visit with her there. June
and Grandma Bowdon did too"
'Where did you find it," Heale
demanded. 'This bottle"

the laundry-chute.'

she can pronounce.
Two doctors of the National 1nsti-
tute of Health, Drs. w. H. Sebren
and r. E. Butlers adopted the word
which they admit is unfortunate"
but the best one they could think of
to describe the disease, says the
Washington Star.
Aribofavinosis, they reported, is
the cause of lip LESSONS, which had
been marked in various parts of the
world but the cause of which had
never been determined.
The disease is due to the absence
of ribofavin in the diet, according
to their experiments. One Of the
vitamin B group, ribofiavin is wide
ly distributed in nature in such foods
as milk and other dairy products,
meat, eggs and green leafy vegeta-
bles. Liver and dried brewers yeast
also are good sources Of the vita
min.
The effect Of the lack of the Vita
min on human beings was deter
mined from an experiment In which

is women were given daily ration
of cornmeal, cowpeas, lard, casein,
flour, white bread, calcium carbon
ate, tomato juice, cod liver oil,
syrup and syrup of iodide or iron.
Later, the diet was supplemented by
crystals containing sources of vita
min c and B1 to make sure the
patients weren't suffering from any
vitamin deficiency except ribofiavin.
Ten of the Is women developed
LESSONS in the lips in "a to 100 days
after the beginning of the expert
ment. In most of these cases, the
symptoms disappeared five to six
days after the inclusion of the ribo-
f1avin vitamin in their diet.
The doctors said that meeting the
daily human requirement Of ribo-
flavin isn't difficult. A milligram of
the vitamin is all that's needed daily
to forestall aribodavinosis.

The young man hesitated. He said
at last: eyes, should say SO. You
can prowl all you want, but it's too
late now. There's nothing left to

den deep passion: s'If she was
killed, it was someone outsidei They
might torture her, but they'd never
kill her. None of them up there"
Then the door shut resoundingly
behind him, and he was gone. In
spector Tope wiped his brow, and
Inspector Heale muttered angrily:
"That fellow knows something.
Maybe ought to hold on to him,
make him talk"
But Tope shook his head. ''If you
set out to arrest anyone right now,"
he pointed out, you'd have to start
with Miss Leaford."
And Miss Moss suggested softly:
"There might be another possibility.
I wonder if Mrs. Leaford's husband
is still alive? And how he felt to-
ward herr"
The two men stared at her with
wide astonished eyes.

CHAPTER VIII

The fortnight after Kitty Lea
ford's death was for Inspector Tope
long and tormenting time; for
search of the Hurder house while it
stood empty revealed exactly moth
ing at all. And his utmost urgen-
cies failed to drive Inspector
Heale to any vigorous action. And
DR.. Derrie abetted him by sticking
to the accident theory.
The day after the funeral Tope
and Clint talked with Heale in his
Office, and Tope said to Heale stern
ly:
Here's my notion, Inspector.
Mrs. Leaford was about the most
harmless person on Kenesaw Hill.
She hadn't hurt anyone; she didn't
want her own way about anything;
she didn't have any money; she
didn't have thing that would make
anyone want to kill her. But some
one did kill her; and whoever did it
had deep, hidden reason for doing
it. And we don't know what that
reason was.
"All right. Now if we-if you, In.
spector-pretend you don't suspect
anything, whoever did it will get
bold. He or she will do something
else. That's what you're waiting
for, isn't it," Inspector Heale nod
ded an emphatic agreement, and
Tope said fatty: "You know what
that something will be? Someone
else will be killed, up therel"
Inspector Heale stared at him.
"Why?" he demanded. ''What
makes you figure that?"
because there wasn't any rea-
son for killing Mrs. Leaford Alone"
Tope insisted. "Killing her is bound
to have been a part of a bigger
scheme. If you let things slide,
you'll have another murder on your
hands,"
Clint, listening to the old man
whose wisdom he knew, felt himself
cold with fear for June, who dwelt
in that suffered house where death
had been a visitor. But Inspector
Heale said with a slow, fretful vio-
lence: "Well, Inspector, I'm glad to
have your advice, any time, of
course. But have to make the de-
cisions. You'll have to let me work
this out my own way"
And they could not move him. On
the way back to town, Clint saw
Inspector Tope irritated for the first
time in his experience. "I hate a
fool" the old man said fretfully.
Sand Heale's a fool. / tell you.
Clint, there's death loose in those
old houses"
For the rest Of the drive the old
man sat silent, absorbed in his own
reflections, till they came home to
the little house in Longwood, where
Miss Moss had dinner waiting. They
sat long at table, going over and

Productions quietly, but with a
quick, appraising glance for Tope
and for Miss Moss. He spoke in a
slow, sardonic tone, facing them
fairly.
"I'm told you want to see me-"
he said. "Why?"
And before Inspector Heale could
speak, he added in grim drawl:
''To save lying, might say that I
can guess you think Kitty Leaford's
death was murder, SO you can be-
gin your explanations there"
"Well, there are certain circum-
stances" Heale began. Someone
was in Mrs. Leaford's room after
she went to Sleep"

in the sea. There are a few that
may be found in fresh water in
ponds and streams. Those sought
for commercial purposes are found
in varying depths Of the sea, an
chored to the bottom by needle
like spicules. They may be securely
fastened to shells, stones or plants.
Their shape depends upon the spe-
cies to which they belong, and some
odd forms are developed. Some may
have the appearance of ball, glove
or candlestick. Some are like Nep-
tunes goblets. But the wonderful
thing is that, no matter what the
size or form or color, the manner
in which they are made is the same.
No sponge known, whatever its
size or environment. gets excited.
It leads a humdrum life. During the
time it is alive the sponge is soft.
The skeletons keep the soft cells
which make up the living sponge's
body from becoming nothing more
than jelly-like mass. These
skeletons vary according to the spe-
cies. Some consist of spongin fbers,
others spicules of carbonate of lime,
and still others of Spicules of silicon.
These spicules are of different
shapes, but keep faithfully to their
special form for the species. That
is why you can identify them. In a
way they are like the many hundreds
of gals that we find, each according
to its species.
Sponges work day and night to
make their living. Being stationary,
they cannot move about seeking the
food they need. So they create cur
rents of water, and IN that way
bring to them both food and oxygen,
and then create more currents to
carry off the waste matter. They
have specialized cells with a collar
around one end from which projects
a most active f1agellum, and it is the
latter that stirs up the waters. When
you are told that the average size
sponge can and does draw IS GAL
Ions through its body canal system
during one day, you know that the
skeleton in your bathroom never
knew an idle moment during Its
lifetime.

and interesting facts.
For many centuries thousands of
scientists fought over the idea as to
whether or not the sponge was a
plant or animal. Credit must be
given to the Greek philosopher,
Aristotle, who lived in 384-322 BIC,
for he proclaimed to the world Of
his time that sponges were animals.
Finally sponges were called ZOO

Man does not know how many
