"Listen," said Enderby. "You know I came down to Exhampton on Fri- day evening, Emily. Well, there was a bit of information I was going to get from a pal of mine. another oer man, Carruthers his name is. l-le was coming round to see me about half past six if he

about the speeches and what asses so and so, a. famous novelist and a famous playwright were. And he said he had hen rottenly placed at the dinner. There was an‘ empty seat on one side of him where Ruby McAlmott, that awful best-seller woman, ought to have sat and an empty place on the other side of him where the sex specialist, Martin Dering, oyght to have been, but he moved up near to a. poet. who is very well known in Blackheath, and tried to make the best of things. Now. do you see the point?" "Charles! Darling!" Emily became lyrical with excitement. "How mar- velous. Then the ‘brute wasn't at the dinner at all?"

“Exactly.”

“You are sure you've remembered the name right?”

“I'm positive, I have torn up the letter, worse luck, but I can always wire to Carruthers to make sure. But, I absolutely know I'm not mis- taken."

"There's the publisher still, oi course," said Emily. "The one he spent the afternoon with. But I rather think it was a. publisher who was just going back to America, and if so, that looks fishy. I moan it looks as though he had selected someone who couldn't be aired wtthoui; a lot of trouble."

"Do you really think we have it?" said Charles hinder-by.

"Well, it looks like it. I think the best thing to be done is-to go straight to that nice Insp tor Narracott and just tell 'him ese new facts. I mean, we can't tackle an American publisher who is on the Mauretania or the Berengaria or somewhere. That's a Job for the

The worst o: Jim is that he is {rightfully obstinate; if he has once said a thing he sticks to it." Emily paused, losi, in thought. Two very different theories stretched out in opposite directions. There was the one suggested by Mr. Rycroit, in which Jim's quarrel with his uncle was the determining point. The other theory, however. took no cog- nizance of Jim whatsoever. ‘The first thing to do, Emily felt. was to see the doctor who had first exam- ined the body. If it were possible that Captain Trevelyan hibd been murdered at—say—four might make a considerable differ- ence to the question of alibis. And

“What's that?’ ‘asked Mr.. Endor- by.

“I am going to pay a call on Mr. Duke. He's the only person in Sitte- ford I haven't seen. And he was one of the people at the table turning." "Oh, we'll pass his cottage on the way to see about; getting a car to Exhampton."

Mr. Duke's cottage was the last of the row. Emily andChsrles un- latched the gate and walked up the path. And then something rather surprising occurred. For the door opened and a. man came out. And that man was Inspector Narracott. He, too, looked surprised and. Emily thought, embarrassed. Emily abandoned her original intention. "I am so glad to have met you, Inspector Narracott," she said. "There are one or two things I want to talk to you about if I may. "Delighted. Miss ‘Prefusisf’ He drew out a watch. "I'm afraid you will have to look sharp, I've a car waiting. I've gotto go back to 15>- hampton almost immediately." “I-low extraordinary fortunate," said Emily. “you might give me a lift, will you, inspector?"

The inspector said rather wood- enly that he would be very pleased to do so.

"You might go and get my suit- case, Charles." ‘aid -Emiiy. "Itu packed up and ready."

Charles departed ifnmQdlnimiy. "It's a. great surprise meeting you here, Miss ‘rrefusisf’ said Inspector Narracott.

"I said au revoir," Emily remind- ed him.

"I didn't, notice it at the time." "You've not seen the last of me by a long way." said Emily candid- ly. "You know, Inspector Nsrracott, you've made a mistake. Jim's not the man you're aiter".

"Indeed!" -

"And what's more," said Emily. "I believe in your heart that you agree with me."

‘ "What makes you think that, Mia Trefusis?"

For preservation of the best in our national life our "Lord's Day Observance" Department should receive new emphasis.

Thet chief of prophets, Isaiah, was inspired to write: ' "If thou tum away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy

the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable, and shall honor him, not doing thy own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

"Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord: and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth .’ , . " Here i.s_the divine promise, and if its conditions are faithfully ob- served. will lead to the national prosperity now so anxiously sought by purely worldly means.

It is indeed vital for the best in- terests of our Dominion that Can- ada should "R/ememitr the Sabbath Day to keep it holy."

Many breaches of these laws are committed by the bootlegger who has taken on new brazenry since the abolition of provncial phohibi- tion. and the ever loosening res- trictions on liquor sale.

In Quebec Province Sunday afternoon sport is a great detrlmen

to the proper observance of th

lord's Day. This vicious encroach- ment on Sunday worship needs to be carefully watched in all the pro- vinces.

Some time ago the Quebec unions wrote letters to the mln'sters re- questing sermons 0n the better ob- servance of the Sabbath. This is a plan worth remembering and re- peating everywhere.

About the same time the Nova Scots Provincial Union sent out; the following to be endorsed by every local union:

"Resolved that this Union ex- presses its strong disapproval of the growing disregard ‘for sabbath Ob. servance in most parts of our Pro- vince, as evidenced by open rand stands, ice cream stands, and numerous so-called restaurants, also a growing tendency to engage ln sport on Sunday We urge, there- fore, all members and Christian people generally to use their in- fluence. bypercept and example, to bring back the quiet and whole- some obsorvanoe of the lord's Daih" .

If such a resolution were passed by every Canadian W.C.T.U. and published in the press generally as W.C.T.U. news it would be used by God to stir many consciences to a realisation of duty performed.

Beverage rooms snmdanoes plus beverage halls and dances would result in scarcely o. rag of morality being left to clothe decency.

In Toronto last April a European

dancer was advertised. After view- ing a photograph of this dancer as the "Silver Goddess." and learning of a publicity description of “her y costume or the lack of it. plus special lighting," Inspector Thomas Cockett of the morality squad ruled that the dancer be costumed or not appear. Not long ago it will be recalled, this matter of the dance reached the floor of the Canadian House of Commons, when ,F. H. Pickel, member for Brome-Mi ' ', at the risk of being considered t “chlldish" described a certain class of Canadian youth as indisciplined, "thinking only of dancing, sport, t and social affairs." "What is going io become of them" this member asked with s, concern that should be shared by all loyal Christian Canadians. To give this member's outlook further.

"There is no home life today, absolutely none as a general rule. Children go as they please. Univer. sltles had become athletic recruit- lne grounds where m. athletic di- rector receives more money than professors."

Mr. Pickel then called attention l0 the newspapers half filled with sports with the youth reading the else but the pages of sport.
