Tins STARTS TlIB STOUT A dinner party is being held at the homo of Colonel and Mrs. Ledyard. Anions those present are their daugh ter, Trixy; her friend, Hebe Cowlcs; Cornelius Swarthmore, Wendle Brad dock and Mrs. Allison Ilartshorne. Mrs. Hartshornc's past history is clothed in mystery. She suddenly leaves under the pretense of a severe headache. She is accompanied by Swarthmore, who expresses his love for her and obtains her promise of marriage. Sho is found dead on the floor in the morning by her suspi ciously acting Trench maid, Ma tilde. Detective Paul Harvey brines out various facts by tho questioning of servants nnd other witnesses Mrs. Hartshorne's peculiarity in keeping largo sums of money loose about her house ; her carelessness with her jewels, and her intimacy with Swarthmore. Harvey asks Rose Adarc, a social secretary to Mrs. Ilartshorne nnd her 'friends, to as sist him in unraveling the mystery. Braddock admits it was he who sent Mrs. Ilartshorne the valuable pearl necklace which was found on her dead body, that she had promised to be his wife and that an antagonism exists between him nnd Swarthmore. Trixy Ledyard is accused by Har vey of the murder because of jeal ousy. She denies tho accusation, but admits that Mrs. Ilartshorne was killed at her mother's home nnd that she nnd her servants removed the body in the middle of the night to the woman's own home. Hebe Cowlcs .confesses to Harvey tlmt she over heard n quarrel between Mrs. Ilarts horne and Swnrthmore in which she retracted her promise of marriage and threatened to expose his dishonest business dealings with the govern ment. Swarthmore ndmits the quar rel nnd his dishonesty to Harvey. AND HERB IT CONTINUES C7"OU admit, then, that you killed her?" Faul asked quietly. "Admit nothing!" Swnrthmore re torted, staring. " "I'm tnlking about my deals with the government. I sup pose it is Atlanta for miuc, but bigger men than I are dipping into Vncle Sam's pockets right now and getting away with it. If I hadn't gotten the graft some other fellow would. As for killing that woman say, do you think I broke into her house, waited for her to come home and then fired n shot that would have been calculated to bring a bunch of shrieking femnle servants about my ears? Do I look like that kind of a boob?" "No, Mr. Swarthmore, but as Mrs. Hartshorne was not murdered in her own home; as she wns shot there in the Ledyards' conservatory within a few minutes of the time jou uttered your threat against her " "What!" Swarthmorc's face turned ashen and his voice all but failed him. "Say that again, Harvey!"' "She was dead before you left the house! Dead five minutes after she intimated that she would turn informer against you." "It can't be! There's some mis take!" The amazement and incredu lity in Swarthmore's tone seemed too unstudied to have been assumed. "Rod, man, the thing's impossible! The shot would have been heard, even above the K'Vuf ef Hint nnnfnlinrleil t7T. hunil. and how could the body have been con veyed to her home? It is absurd on the face of it." Paul's keen eyes had never left the other's face and now they gleamed with a light of newly found conviction, hut he spoke without a change of tone. "It is true, however." "Who did it?" Swarthmore de manded. "Did your busy little raves dropper witness the murder? I left Mrs. Ilartshorne with a tacit agreement to keep out of each other's game. If she was killed so soon after it may be that your informant had a hand in it himself." "My informant was a woman, Mr. Swarthmore." "A woman? Not?" "Miss Ledyard?" Paul finished for him as he hesitated. "Unfortunately no. It would have been better, per haps, had she learned how little cause she had for future jealousy." "We'll leave Miss Ledyard out of this discussion, if you please," Swarth more said stiffly. "I am afraid that will be impossible," Paul retorted. "When you left the conservatory and Btarted toward the cloakroom Miss Ledyard trhjd to inter cept you, but you rejected her over tures, flung off the hnnd she had laid "upon your arm. That was the final straw." "I was beside myself," explained Swarthmore. "I realized, too, for the first time in all those weeks, what a fool I had been. Beatrice Ledyard was the last person I wanted to encounter just then." "That is a pity, for Miss Ledyard evidently put a wrong construction on your manner." Paul spoke casually, but each word went home to the man before him. "Her pride as well as her heart were involved, and that is a v dangerous combination with such a woman as she. When you repudiated her so publicly you aroused a spirit of desperation which would stop at notii ing. Before you reached the cloakroom she had entered the conservatory " "Stop!" Swarthmore rose slowly. "Why have you come to me? What are you driving at? If your caves dropper was still there does she dare to accuse Miss Ledyard ?" "My informant had slipped out of the conservatory bclorc you leu, raui ad mitted. "But since it was not you who killed Mrs. Ilartshorne, and I am con vinced that you are telling the truth In this respect, Mr. Swarthmore, I am forced to conclude " Your conclusions are ciamnaoiy falsal" the other burst in upon him. 'x treated Miss Ledyard like a cur, if you will have it so, but she is ut l terly incapable of Buch a crime as you Intimate I Whatever her feeling toward Mrs. Hartshorne, she could not have shot her down in cold blood! It is unthinkable!" "I already have proof that she con cealed the body; that she, with the L . help of two people whom sho trusted, eoaveyed it to the Farragut street 1 ,' bouse," Paul continued reienuessiy , "She has confessed "Confessed I" The man before him Uggere5 ns though he had received n mortal blow. "It's not true I Trixy I 'Oh, my God t My God!" "That's all, Mr. Swarthmore." Paul rone and picked up his hat. , The other looked at him dazedly. - "I'm under' arrest?" he asked in a thick, scarcely audible tone. '"Not by me ; I'm on a murder case," rol responded, "Tho federal authorl ttot har4 JkM notified, however. It n 0 Mly-siic W tM,7W that.

Hickson, pale nnd hollow-ejcd, admitted him, and, following hiiii into the reception room, laid a shaking hand upon his arm. "Oh, sir, jou h.-nen't come for her!" he pleaded in n broken Voice. "She didn't do it, Mr. Harvey! I bwenr it. sir ; shu never had a hand in tho ladj 's death ! We only only took tho body home where it rightfully belonged. Take me up for that and William, too, hut leave her out of it, for God's sake! It would kill her father and mother, and she did nothing wore than try to shield them from the trouble that would liae come if the body hnd been found there!" "That's all right, Hickson; I haven't rome to nriest an body. But it would hae been better for nil of you if OU had told mo the truth fioin the stmt," Paul returned. "Ask Miss Ledyard if she will sec me, please." ".Miss Ledyard is very ill!" the but ler stammered, adding hastily, "hut, of course, she will see ou, sir. If you iU wait just n few minutes ?" When she appeared Beatrice Ledyard bore out the truth of his assertion. She was wan and haggard and from hen? drawn face nnd dull, brooding eyes the last trace of girlhood had vanished. It was a woman desolate ami all but con sumed with the warring emotions which nicked her who faced the detective from the doorway. "What,do you want of me now, Mr. Harvey ?"he asked lisUess.y.. "I hoped that after jesterd.iy X siiould be lett in peace for a little while; such peace ns I may find. I suppose that what I did with tho aid of Hickson and his son may constitute a violation of the law, but I understand that jou have not come to place us under arrest?" "No, Miss Ledjard." His tone was gravely considerate. "But did you not stop to realize that when j'our ruse wns discovered, ns it must Inevitably have been, you would be in n far more berl ous position than if you had left the body where you discovered it?" "I never dreamed that nny one would know," she responded. "My only thought wns to rid the house of such a fearful thing. It seemed to me that if the body were bejoud our thresh old our responsibility would end. I cannot describe it, but it was the bame instinctive feeling with which one struggles to throw off a nightmare." "But why did you take the initio.' tive? Would not instinct have directed you to summon your natural protector, your father?" Paul insisted gently. Her gesture of repudiation was un guarded. "No My father would never have permitted the removal of the body in that way. He would have made a scene, locked the doors, summoned the police and precipitated us all into a scandal wo could never have lived down." Was it the scandal alone which you dreaded.

Wns it fear of notoriety or fear lest we discover the truth which led you to plan so reckless and hazaul ous a maneuver?" "What had I to fear? I did not Kill Mm. Ilartshorne." "Miss Ledyard," ho changed his tac tics abruptly, "jou told us ycstoulay that you helped jour mother to receive and then danced like the rest. Do you remember ,w here jou were nt the mo ment when you became lizzy ami fa tigued nnd decided to seek refuge in the conservatory?" "No." There was a note of awaken- ed caution in her monosyllabic response nud she seemed to bo gnthering her all but spent forces to meet the fresh tack. "You were not dancing, or jour partner would have accompanied jou. Were ou not in the hall near tho foot of the staircase?" "I do not know; T may hnvc been."

Did you perhaps hare a premonition of whut you would cms- cover there?" "Stop!" She put her hands wildly to her head as if to shut out the in- exorablo voice. "It isn't true!

Had he wrested the weapon from her, hred the shot from it and tlicn waited to replace it in her at-ll'K "and? It seemed unlikely, nnd yet one shell had been dichnrged from it and the bullet which killed her had been of the same caliber. ' Paul aroused himself from his reveiic with a quick thrill of compunction for ptolonging the mental agony of the joung woman before him. "Perhaps Mr. Swnrthmore Is guilt less, after all, Miss Ledyard," he con- I out who was responsible for the crime. Could you do you feci strong enough to accompany me to the conserva tor ?" "Oh, jes!" A faint color had sprung to her wan cheeks, a faint light buffused her qyos. She rose with alacrity.

The big, athletic fellow, lolling on the hot beach sand, turned toward his com panion n little bit Impatiently. "Sure. If two p'ersons are meant for each other they will come together. What Is to be will be." The girl at his side shrugged her thin shoulders. A distant bell clanged and the man arose with alacrity. "First call for dinner. Coming? No; well, so long, then." " She watched him swing easily down the beach.

When her boss hnd granted a well earned two months' vacation she had thought only of the long, lnzy rest she could enjoy, nnd had come prepared only for that sort of time. .Tust recently sho hnd begun to realize that her life's happiness was at stake.

Sho re fused his invitations, ignored him care lessly nnd finally cut him from her list of friends. The sham of life smote her tragically. Tho last day of her vacation nriived. It was rainy and cold. Dofiantty Anne donned her very oldest clothes and went for a walk out over tho breakwater rocks. Bounding n huge rock suddenly, she enme face to face with a very woe begone looking David. Surprise and consternation halted her a moment, but, regaining her self-composure, sho turned to retrace her steps. David was at her side in n moment '"Anne, this seems to be tho opportune moment for an explanation. What fin earth have I done to meiit such displeasure on your part?" Anne's mouth curled sarcastically; "I'd much rather not discuss it." David planted hiuwolf between the two rocks where she would have to pass. "Well, I piefer to discuss it right now..

Your little dress-up farce hasn't disproved nnvthing. Why, I've cared for yon right from the beginning. Didn't you know that, dear?" Anne shook her head, stubbornly un convinced, but her fingers clung to his when they met, nnd she did not resist tho arm that crept about her. However.- that evening in the privacy of her own room Anne stopped her packing long enough to slip into one of the old blouses nnd, pulling back her hair In the skimpy little old-time pug, she viewed herself in the mirror.

THE Author ot "The nailnets KEEP COOL IMAGINE, if jou please, the follow ing incident, which is quite true In its basic facts. The theatre was crowded with the usual jolly Christmas holiday makers. The show had gone nlong with n swing, the scamd scene being well on its way. Suddenly tho people in the front rows of tho orchestra notioed a peculiar odor, a faint but unmistakable odor of something burning. Uneasy glances passed from one to another to see If others had tho same dread suspicion. - The smell of burning became more evident. A fnint whisper was heard here and there, nnd borne people turned uneasily in their chnirs. A mnn in nn orchestra scat half rose as if to leave, but after a moment of hesitation he bat down ngain. The whole house wns nerved to the brenking point, when nn evil-looking coil of smoke curled up from one of the wings. That proof of fire was seen by the whole house. A woman pointed with slinking linger and gnsped in a hoarse whisper: "Look, it's burning!" The situation was critical; one false move by any one, one dread cry of "Fire," would have loosed the rats of terror and fearful panic would hnvc en sued. In that dread moment the manager walked leisurely on the stage nnd turned to make a laughing comment to borne unseen person. Instantly a relaxing of nerves was felt; tho tension was relieved. Surely, there could be no danger when tho man ager could walk leisurely from the ery midst of the fire nnd laugh as well. A few words quieted the house and the beasts of savagery were conquered by the spirit of civilization. Hud any one lost his head, however, what dis aster would havo followed! Keep cool, not when everything is going nlong like a summer song, but when people become excited and angry, when trouble is brewing and no one knows what to do or what may happen, but instinctively dreads nnd fears the worst. It becomes a high tjpe of citizenship nt such times to contro) one's petty fears and to smother one's beltish de sires. At times like these, when the pendulum of human emotion lias swung from tho high ideal of personal sacri fice for tho glory and protection of the country and the causo of right to the hj-sterieal emotional grab for self, it becomes n solemn duty for every one of us to, act circumspectly and to talk guarded, so that ho in no way will help the cause of mob rule. Reason and fair play make people into organizations. Emotion mid sel fishness make people into mobs. The moro emotion that, is displayed tho more danger there is of disaster from the un guarded tongues of fanatics. When charges of disloyalty nud de ception are passed from class to class, keep cool. So long as we as individuals kep reason In control of emotion just so long will we be free from violence. Instead of brooding too much on the evils of the past, let us realize the blessings of the present and he thankful for them.

The blosson or flower is the fore runner of the fruit or seed of plants, ns a general proposition.

The pollen Is the lluury stuff, like golden dust, . frequently, that jou bee in the blossoms. This pollen is the very life of the milt or bceds, aud it must be mixed with the pollen of other blossoms or there will be no seeds. So the blossoms arc odorous to at tract the bugs nud bees and insects that arc to carry tho pollen from one plant to another. Thnt also is tho object of many of tho colors; that is the reason the blooms of the plants and flowers are colored, in fact to attract the ati tcntlon of the little creatures that aro to servo them in the matter of dis tributing the pollen.
