lory know? How do you know your
self, Captain Shannon? By some
thing that's worthless in court. Lyon
Ferriter killed that man. He used
that knife you hold. I don't know
why. Perhaps to protect that pre-
ciouS sister of his, for whose sake
he's willing to let an innocent and
foolish boy play scapegoat."
At each word Miss Agatha spoke
in her bitter, careful voice, my mad
idea grew more normal in shape and
color. 1t drove me to speech, but
Shannon's harsh voice rode over my
words.
Miss Paget, whether you're right
or wrong, no one can say. That was
my own thought at first and now"
He shrugged. --
Cochrane completed it for him:
''And now" he said softly, when
you announce you've found the muir
der weapon, but no clue to how it
got in the basement, or who left it
there, you're through-whipped, out
witted, scuttled. Mr.. Ferriter, who
hasn't been sure where that knife
has been, wins. He'll sleep easier
from now on"
"All right" Shannon snarled in
angry helplessness; chats like
most of the newspaper suggestions.
It's help, isn't it? What would you
do, wise boy?"
Cochrane shook his head
heard Miss Agatha say:
81 know what I'd do"
We looked at her. Her face was
hard and her voice, that spoke what
I had feared to utter, was firm:
eff Lyon Ferriter has weakness,
it is his love for his sister,. I think
he can be reached by attacking
her"
Shannon had not the sort of brain
that is fired by abstract theory.
There was scorn in his grunt.
Would you then? And howl"
If the old lady's suggestion had
rolled his mind, it had clarified
mine. Her speech had been a key,
unlocking the door of my mind be-
hind which that wild, originally fam
tastic idea had waited. I said, be-
fore Miss Agatha could speak again:
ARREST lone Ferriter."
I had uttered her thought. I saw
her start and look at me in wonder.
ARREST herr" Shannon jeered.
For WHAT" .....
His crooked smile was hooking.
Allegra's eyes widened. Cochrane
looked at me as though he were
doing. I stood their combined re-
gard.
For murder. For the murder of
Blackboard. There's enough to
make it stick-for a while"
''For a WHILE" the policeman ech-
oed in derision.
Miss Agatha said quickly, sitting
straight and flushed in her wheel
chair:
Captain Shannon, Lyon Ferriter
killed that man. 1 know it. Mr..
Mallory knows it. You suspected
it at first. But you could not reach
him. His story, his alibi, had no
apparent weakness. Yet he has a
weakness. 1t is his love for his
sister,"
Shannon stared as though he won
dered whether she had lost her mind.

ALONG about this time of
~ year the questions begin
L \ to come in from the June
brides. They are still the hap
piest girls in all the world and
Tim is still the most wonderful
man, but still, they'd just like
to ask
One particularly bewildered,
little bride writes me from a
New Mexico city; she says that
she cut out an article of mine
saying that the money problem
was the most important in mar
riage, and that she did seriously
believe it, but that Walter thinks
it is perfect nonsense.
Walter" writes Marian, "has a
small salary, but gets an occasional
commission. When we had been
married only two months we got a
really fine commission, and made
the first three payments on an ador-
able house. We got refrigerator
and a gas stove and just a few
things we had to have, paying more
than half down, but planning to pay
the rest off in monthly installments.
This, with the house, means $92
monthly. What we are sure of is
$3.50 week, so you see we need
pretty close figuring to get through,
months when there is no commits
sion. Walter had a heavy cold in
October, lost % days at the office,
so we got behind and he borrowed
$500 to keep abreast of our obliga-
tionS.
Running Into Debt.
Nov this is what worries me. He
does not like to talk finances with
me, and ! don't like to bother him.
But by chance / learned that we
are running behind with all our pay
ments, and unless we have streak
of great luck-and in the winter real
estate developments hardly move at
all, I can't see how we are going to
manage. What / want to do is to
rent this house for year, which we
could do, move into small apart
ment, live on our salary, and let
the house pay for itself and its fur
nishings, which it would just do.
"When I limited this plan to Wal
ter he was amused and disturbed.
He took me downtown to dinner and
bought me gardenias, saying that /
had let myself get into housekeep-
ing rut. When I said that money
was an important element in mar
ried security he just laughed and
said that he had been in and out of
hot water all his life and certainly
was not going to begin worrying
now. He admitted that he had made
our Indebtedness AN even five hun
dred' but that if the bank ever made
any trouble, he could get it from
someone He spoke of a second
mortgage on the house, but while it
is unpaid for I don't think we could
do that. Meanwhile he is anxious
for a child; both the men in his
Office have small children and he
says he is jealous when he hears
them talking of them. But it seems
to me we have no right to 60 ahead
with family, dearly as / would
love. baby, until we are a little
more out of the woods. Will you
tell me what position ought to take
and whether l am unnecessarily
worried? Moss Rose"
Breakers Lie Ahead.
Poor little Moss Rose has a real
problem on her hands and certainly
there are breakers ahead. She and
her Walter will lose their home, and

Edward J. Peters, chief engineer
of Paramount's air conditioning de-
partment, has perfected a new type
of ice. He calls it "snow ice," and
because it lasts almost one-third
longer than ordinary ice and re-
quires third less time to produce,
it may affect the commercial ice
industry.
1t was developed because Director

after opening of mines to get fuel

mines, both North and South, from
which New England receives its fuel,
be opened Immediately.
