CHAPTER XVI

Miss Agatha's quiet words were
more shocking than screams. They
spoke so simply and readily the be-
lief that I had Numbered toward,
and recoiled from and reached at
again that I could only stare at her.
I blurted:
How do you known"
She was like a damaged and an
cient lamp in which the flame still
burned clearly. She told me:
From his hands. I was sure the
evening when Captain Shannon first
questioned him. Don't you remem-
ber?"
VERY WELL" I answered, ''but-"
His hands," she went on, ''hung
at his sides. Usually, he uses them
a lot. He was watching himself.
He was acting the part of an en-
tirely innocent person in whose fiat
a man had been found murdered.
He was overacting it. He had some
thing to hide and he was hiding it,
very carefully. Too carefully to fool
me-"
Then why" I began, but she
cut me off.
David" she said, f'I've been nev-
er so certain of my own virtues that
I cared to hunt down the iniquity
of others. Mr.. Ferriter may have
had very good reasons for killing
his visitor, but"
She bit on nothing with a little
jerk of her head and I thought of
Lachesis, the withered Fate who
cuts the cord. She rummaged in
her handbag for something and, di-

vining her need, offered a cigarette
and lit it for her. Smoke and some
thing more dire had narrowed her
eyes as she went on:
Lyon Ferriter was clever in his
alibi. Since the part that anyone
can check was fact, it has to be
presumed the rest was too. No one
can prove he was in that fiat when
the man was stabbed. What?"
l had started to speak. Now l
said, Excuse me-" and held my
words.
"And until" Miss Agatha went
on, that is proved and it is found
how he got out afterward, Lyon Fer
ritter thinks he is safe. He is proud
of his cleverness. That is danger
ous-for him."
"Well?" 1 asked as she paused.
She cid not seem to hear me. She
pursued, her eyes still narrow, her
voice daunting in its calm:
"All of which has been none of an
old woman's business-up to now.
Lyon Ferriter called on me this
morning. He said he wanted to help
Grove. What he wanted was to ad-
mire his own cleverness If he had
come to me fairly, David; if he had
said, Your nephew and my sister
have been having an affair. How
can we get them out of trouble
most easily?' he would have had
me as an ally"
She rubbed the cigarette out on
the Ssh tray with slow violence. I

Ten patients were not helped at all.
Why were some of these cases

Ventilation of Sinus Needed.
It depends upon the condition OF

very thick or hardened, the X-ray
Tin the dosage given anyway was

stored to normal, the sinus can be

ed sinus gives no trouble, as the air
destroys harmful organisms and, il
lining is not swollen and thickened,
the sinus can drain properly into
the nose and throat.
Another point about the success

How to Relax
And Go to Sleep
a PHYSICIAN is often asked by

a PHYSICIAN is often asked by
"A adult patients as to the length
of time they should sleep, and his
answer in most cases is that eight
hours is about right.
Two cases often cited are Thomas
Edison, who slept about four hours
at night, and Woodrow Wilson, who
required nine or ten. Most people
forget that Edison was hard of
hearing, and so when he slept he
was not disturbed by noises low or
loud, strange or familiar.
It is being able to keep body and
mind relaxed that prevents us from
becoming tired too soon. A COM
pletely relaxed body and mind is
getting 80 per cent as much rest
as if it were asleep; that is, from
the standpoint of heart rate, breath
ing, temperature and blood pres
sure.

mouth open and breathe slowly
through the mouth. This relaxes
the body and, to a considerable ex-
tent, the mind also.
Relaxation is the exact opposite
of tenseness. To relax requires no
effort. It means to 'let loose" to
stop doing. In learning to relax a
person learns to recognize tense
ness wherever it occurs in the body.
By letting each part of the body go
limp or loose-legs, arms, trunk
one after the other or all together,
tenseness of body disappears and
with it often tenseness or alertness
of mind.
Sometimes when there is no noise,
no light, no draft, no heat or cold

gave her another. Her voice had
an odd ring as she went on:
"But he didn't. He had no idea
why Grove was in his fiat! He said
that he had given the boy a key
because Grove was in and out of
the apartment good deal. Implic-
lily he served notice on me that that
was what he had told, or will tell,
the police He'll protect his sister
and leave Grove to be scapegoat
for the death of Everett and the
earlier murder, if possible. My
nephew's plight is a godsend to
him."
"And to Ione?" I asked, doubt
fully.
"And to lone" Miss Agatha an
swered and her jaw grew hard. "She
hasn't spoken, has she? She has not
come forward with the truth to help
her lover. Hers is the perfect fear
that casteth out love. I wish knew
what it is"
Her self-possession got me by the
throat. 1 blurted:
"How foul people are!"
Miss Agatha cooked an eye at me.
$50 you're finding that out?" she
asked.
She sat silent moment and
thought of the weathered figurehead,
immune to storm.
miss Agatha" I said, "what do
you want me to do?"
She answered indirectly in level
voice:
"All my life, thanks to my legs,
I've been audience to the sorry
dramas mortals play. I don't like
the way this particular one prom
ises to end. don't like the thought
of Grove still in jail-though I I'M
derstand he is only being held for
questioning according to Senator
Groesbeck."
'Has he-your nephew-given any
explanation"
The affectionate smile that accom-
panied her reply was pitiful. Grove,
it appeared, had said nothing to the
police and little enough to his law
yer. He had been tipping a letter at
the desk in the workroom and had
seen light in the apartment, across
the air shaft. He had gone to the
Ferriter fiat and had found Everett
about to throw himself from the
window. He had tried to hold him,
but the man had screamed and torn
free. That was all. He would say
no more. He would not even ex-
plain the note the police had found
in his pocket.
"And they say" Miss Agatha end
ed, sthat chivalry is dead. Grove,
the young sophisticate, posing as
Sidney Carton would be funny if it
weren't so tragic. He won't see
that. He won't help himself. Very
well, shall have to save him by
putting Lyon Ferriter in his place"
The certainty in her voice stirred
mine to awe as I asked: Howl"
Miss Agatha looked at me hard for
an instant and the wrinkles about
her eyes deepened.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
(Ben syndicate-wNU Service,

TINE best thing that we can
say for the old world is
L that once in its history a
Man was born who spoke
strange, unbelievable, startling
and unacceptable truths.
The reason we know that what
He said was true is that although
for twenty centuries all sorts of
brilliant and scientific men
have been trying to prove that
He was mistaken, still, in that
tribunal that is the heart of the
people, these words of His live
on, and grow more and more
brilliant with time, and for
every voice that denies Him, a
hundred other voices speak up
loudly in His defense.
That fact is the one miracle that
the world has known. All other mir
acles stem from it through the acts
of His followers, or like wars and
scientific discoveries and astronomi-
cal prophecies turn out to be no
miracles at all.
1t sometimes rather amuses me
when young unbelievers challenge
the Bible stories of miracles. The
sick man at the pool was only a
hypochondriac, they say, he could
always have picked up his bed and
walked if he had wanted to. The
water made wine was always wa
ter only the wedding guests were in
an amiable mood and thought it
wine. The blind man was a fakir;
he wasn't blind.
His Name Marches On.
Why, what more do these skeptics
want than the living, blazing, un-
equalled miracle that Christ's name
is today in our modern, whirling,
mechanical world, in this country,
whose simplest everyday fact was
undreamed in His day? When as our
first human landmark, we speak of
the miracle that waS-and iS-the
Masters eternally old and eternally
new story, what episode in all his
tory comes second? What other
event deserves to be mentioned even
in remotest connection with it?
For here was a baby born in pow
erty, reared as carpenters son
in small oriental town, growing
to manhood unknown, His friends
equally humble and obscure, His
early death marking Him as a GRIM
inal.
No press, no influence, no power
full adherents to defend His name.
No written word of His to live and
justify him. And yet in America
today large numbers of papers,
printed daily, carry that name as
their inspiration and reason for be-
ing, and it is safe to say that no
daily journal ever is printed with
out that name.
Substitutes Love for Hate.
The law this Man laid down to a
few idle villagers and fisher folk
was terrible law. 1t was terrible
in its newness, its courage, its impli-
cations. For it stripped man of re-
venge and substituted forgiveness;
it stripped him of self and substi-
tuted neighbor; it stripped him of
hate and substituted love.
And man was afraid. Afraid, even
in that simpler day, to follow the
Masters law as he had followed the
Masters feet. He is afraid today.
Our churches will be crowded, this
Christmas day, and such churches
as are left amid the smoking black
ness that once was beauty and ac-
tivity and prosperity in Europe, will
be crowded, too. There will be be-
wildered heartache here; there will
be bitter sobbing there. But not any,
where will there be voices strong
enough to preach His law. Forgive

FABRIC shoppers, get busy! The
fun of going sightseeing in realms
of new spring materials is on.
Did you know it's considered quite
the smart and fashionable thing to
make your own clothes these days?
1t is. AS a matter of fact it has
grown to be quite a hobby among
women who feel the urge to create
apparel individualized to themselves.
You really should add sewing to
your list of accomplishments. 1t
will make your clothes budget reach
farther.
If you are planning a sewing pro-
gram the quickest, surest way to
gain inspiration is to visit the fabric
sections where it's springtime in adj
vance. There are so many really
new materials out, one has the feel
ing of having set forth on a pilgrim
age of discovery. It's the "some-
thing different" from yester season
that is ever the hue and cry where
fashion holds sway and you will find
this longing fully satisfied in cur
rent fabric collections.
The stunning materials that make
up the three smart fashions pic
tured are as new as buds on tree
and bush on a balmy spring day.
See the plaid jersey that fashions
the dress to the right in the picture.
Here's new fabric that takes you
by storm. You are sure to fall in
love with this jersey of bemberg
rayon for it is so caressingly soft
to the touch and has that sleek tex
ture that endears because of the
comfort in wearing. Best of all it is
practically crush-proof and wears
like iron. Ask your salesperson to
show you the different color combi-
nations in which these jerseys come.
1t will likely test your power of de-
cision making a choice. The dress
pictured is marvellous for going
