Take doctors, for instance who are the how favorites with these college girls. Nobody will deny that they have a special attraction for the feminine sex. They are, to begin With- Wcll educated: ihcv are spctlcscly clean; they are trained to as- sume a sympathetic attitude, and they am the only men on earth who will listen with an appearance of interest when a woman talks about her. Yet there are no other wives in the world who are, as a class, so uni- Vefdfllly Jculfliis 9s doctors’ wives. And with as little reason. For to the average physician a woman is not a woman. She is just c. case. Hi5 sympathy is sold over the counter. Hi; interest is purely professional, and always he sees a woman at her worst, when she lg sick and ugly and unreasonable. But for all that, his wife can't help getting green-eyed when 5h; thinks of him holding the hands oi ladies in pink silk and lace negli. gees, and so the doctor is no man for the girl to marry unless she‘ has gebzrcthgirher own system and is certain she has no symptom of jealousy u . Preachers B150 liB-vc always had an especial fascination for women, and any ycung clcrsyma-u, especially if he was slim and pale rnd dys- peptic looking, wuld always have the pick of the feminine purl; oi mg wliircgatlon. His line was irresistible because he talked to women about their $01115 instead .01 their bodies as other men did, and every woman gets a morbid joy out of vivisecting herself. But the preachers‘ stock isn't quite so high as it used to be because, for one thing, the modern girl isn't nearly so religious as the maiden; oi the past were, and, for another thing, she has realized that a girl who marl-res a clergyman marries the congegation. She has to consider how the trumps will like her new hat and what the prudes think oi a one-piece bathing suit, with no back u, lg, and gm"; no matter what she does she will never be able to give satisfaction to the sisters who will always think that her husband could have dong 5o much _ better if he had married them, Lawyers likewise have their allure, and there are probably no women more puffed up with pride than those who can address their husbands as “Judge,” but if a man succeeds as a lawyer he has to be s. student, and that makes him a poor fireside companion. His nose must be buried in a book instead of bent over a bridge table, and he must sit up in brooding silence turning over his cases in his mind of an evening instead 0i en- gaging in bright chltchat about the neighbors and the baby's new teeth. The wife of a famous lawyer once told me that she never spoke in him first for fear she might break up some important train of thought. What wouldn't suit the average woman who likes the sound oi her own voice. Moreover, a lawyer must have a thousand secrets and know liund- reds of perfectly delicious scandals about his clients that his wifc is just dying to hear all about that h won't til her, and if that isn't ilflgrgvgt. ing, I ask you. As for the traveling salesman and naval officers, they are a good choice oi husbands only for women who are sport; enough to take a. fifty- flfty chance on marriage, secue in the fact that no matter how things turn out they will be happy half of the time, either when their husbands are at home or when they are not. And you might play a worse tip than that, anyway. Only three classes of women should. marry actors. Women who are discerning enough to tell the difference between stage kisses and resl kisses. Women who would rather have on sizzling hot love cocktail than a gallon of skimmed-milk affection. Women who have the Plticnoe to wait for wandering feet to come back home to mother. No woman should marry a. cinema star unless she likes marriage on the installment plan. Take it all inall the best bet in marriage for a woman is the busi- ness man. He isn't often temperamental. He isn't spoiled by public adulation, and so he doesrt expect his wife to be the queen of the incense burners. He knows that in every undertaking there is bound in be 1088c! as well as profit and he doesn't demand perfection in the woman to whim! he is married. He is satisfied if she strikes a good general avenge. And he is used to making a bargain and sticking to it, no matter if it isn't all that he thought it would be, and so he doesn't rush of! to the divorce mum every time he gees a platinum blonde who looks better than » “ his wife. Naturally a man's occupati affects his point oi view. his tastes Mid ~his habits, and hence his desirability as a husband.

The snow had begun to fall about an hour ago-great blinding flakes of it. Major Burnaby was gasping. emitting the loud sighing gasps of an utterly exhausted man. He was numbed with cold. He stamped his feet, blew, puffed, snorted and ap- plied a numbed finger to the hell push. The bell thrilled shrilly. Burnaby waited. After a pause of a few minutes, as nothing happen- ed, he pushed the bell again. Onoe more there was no stir of life. Burnaby rang a third time. This time he kept his finger on the bell. It thrilled on and on-but there was still no sign of life in the house. There was a knocker on the door. Major Burnaby seized it and worked it vigorously, producing a noise like thunder. And still the little house remain- ed silent as the dead. The Maipr desisted. He stood for a moment as though perplexed- then he slowly went down the path and out at the gate, continuing on the road he had come towards Ex- lnmpton. A hundred yards brought him to the smal police station. He hesitated again, then finally made up his mind and entered. Constable Graves, who knewthe Major well, rose in astonishment. "Well, I never, sir, fancy you being out on a night like this." "Look here," said Burnaby curtly. “I've been rinKl-iis and knocking at the captain's housg and l can't get any answer." "Why, of course, it's Friday, "said Graves who knew the habits of the two pretty’ well. “But you :ion’t mean to say you've actually come down from Bittaford on a night like this? Surely the captain would never expect you." “Whether he's expected me or not, I've come," said Burnaby tes- tily. "And as I'm telling you, I can't get in. I've rung and knocked und nobody answers." Some of his uneasin seemed to communicate itself to the police- man. “That's odd," he said, frowning. b"Of course. it's odd," said Bur..- a y. "Think he might have been takan bad?" The pollcemank face bright- ened. "Yll try the telephone." It stood at his elbow. He took it up and gave the number. Bur, w the telephone, as to the front dorbell. Captain Trevelyan gave no reply. "Looks as though he had been "Yes-—a very efficient form of sandbeg." “My Godi" “But this here-—" the con- stable broke in, his wits arriv- ing at the point slowly. "You mean--thls here ls murder." The policeman stepped to the table on which stood a telephone. Major Burnaby approached the doctor. "Have you any idea," he said, breathing hard, “how long he's been dead?" "About two hours. I should say, 0r possibly three. That's a rough estimate." Burnaby passed his tongue over dry lips. “Would you say." he asked, “that he might have been killed at five twenty-five?" The doctor looked at him curl- ously. "If I had iogive a time defin- itely, that's just about the time I would suggest." _ "0hl my God," said Burnaby. Warren stared at him. The Major felt his way blindly to a chair, collapsed on to it and’ muttered to himself while a kind of staring terror overspread his face. » "Five and twenty past 'ive--- Oh! my God, then it was true after all" eeeeeeee It was the morning after the tragedy, and two men were stand- ing in the little study of Hazel- moor. Inspector Narraccit looked round him. A littie frown appeared up- on his forehead. "Ye-es)? he said "Ye-es." Inspector Narracott was a very efficient officer. He had a quiet persistence, a logical mind a keen attention to detail which brought his success where many another man might have failed. He was a tall man with a quiet manner, rather far away gray eyes ,and a slow soft Devonshlie voice. ' summoned from Exeter to take charge of the case, he had ar- rived on the first train that morn- ing. The roads had been impas- sable foi- cars, even with chains, otherwise he would have arrived the night before. He was standing now in Captain Trevelyans study, having just completed his exam- ination of the room. With him was sergeant Pollock of the Exhamoton police. thoughtfully. "Ye-es, "said Inspector , Nar- racott. A ray of pale wintry sunshine came in through the window. Out- side was the snowy landscape. There was a. fence about a hund- taken bad." said Graves as he re- placed the reoeived. “And all alone in the house, too. We'd best get hold of Dr. Warren and take him along with us." Dr. Warren's house was almost next door to the police station. The doctor was just sitting down to din- ner with his wife and was not best pleued at the summons. The snow was still falling. "Damnabln night," murmured the doctor. "Hope you haven't brought me out on s. wild goose chase. Trev- elyan’s as strong as a horse. Never has anything the matter with him." Burnaby did not reply. Arriving at l-lazelmoo once more, they again rang and knocked, but elicited no response. round the house to onapf the back windows. "Easter to force than the door." ‘Ihere was a side door which they triecd on the way, but it too was locked, and presently they emerg- ed on the snow-covered lawn that led up to the back windows. Bud- denly. Warren uttered an exclam- ation. The doctor then suggested going‘ red yards from the window and beyong it the steep ascending slope of the snow covered hill- side. Inspector Narracott bent once more over the body which had lyen left for his inspection. An theletic msn himself, he recognized the athelete's type, the broad shoulders, narrow flanks and the good muscular development. The head was small and well set on the shoulders, and the pointed naval beard was carefully trim- med. Captain ‘rbevelyanb age, he had ascertained. was sixty, but he looked not much _ more than fifty-one or two. "Ah!" said Sergeant Pollock The other turned on him. "What is your view of it?" "Well i "Sergeant Pollock scratched his head. He was a cautious man, unwilling to adv- ance further than necessary. "Well," he said," as I see it, sir, I should say that the man came to the window, forced the lock, and started rlfling the room. Captain Trevelyan, I suppose, must have "The window of the study-it‘: open." True enough. the window, a French one. was standinil Bil-r- They quickened their steps. On a night like this. no one in his senses would open a window. There was a light in the room that streamed out in a thin yellow band. The three men arrived simul- taneously at the window-Burna- by was the first man to enter, the constable hard on his heels. i They both stopped dead inside and something like a muffled ery came from the err-soldier. In another moment Warren was be- side them, and saw what they had seen. Captain ‘Prevelyan lay on the floor, face downwards. l-lis arms confusion-drawers of the bureau pulled out, papers lying smut the floor. The window beside them was splintered where it had been forced near the lock Beside Captain Trevelyan was a dark green baise tube about two inches in diameter. Warren sprang forward.

If Captain TreveLvan was up in his bedroom the electric light would have been on, the burglar would have seen it as he approached this window." ......-.‘.‘.Y.f).ll mean he'd have waited." "No man in his senses would break into a house with s light in it; If anyone forced this window— he did it because he thought the house was empty.“ Sergeant Pollock scratched his head. "Beeiris a bit odd. I admit. But there it is." "We'll let it pass for the mo- ment Go on." "Well, suppose the captain heard a noise downstairs. I-le comes down to investigate.

"Yes, that's true enough. f-Ic was struck down when he was facing the window. Bot all the same, Pollock. I don't like it." "No, sir!"
