"I like to find out as much about the time things happened as I can," Tope suggested. "Let's drive down right now and check up on that telephone-call- . Nothing to do hete till daylight, anyway." Heale agreed; so they departed on this mission. Heale phoned to ask the Providence police to make inquirirs about Rab Taine; and they got from Fire Headquarters a record of the alarm. Then Providence called back; Heale answered, and reported to Tope, with a dry amusement: "Here's something! Rab Taine was there, all right; but he wasn't alone. 'Mr. and Mrs.' Registered in, under his own name, late last night, checked out about midnight, after he got a phone call." Tope felt his pulses quicken; and Heale commented: "Pretty cool proposition, going off on a spree, with his granupa dead at home." He seemed to see no more in the . Perfectly. Just a few burns and blisters." Chief Mason stopped, and turned; and Tope with a nod toward the ruins of the burned houses asked: "You think you can find anything there?" "It will be a piece of luck June woke to strange surroundings; to a room she had never seen before, a bed she did not know. She woke, and lay with wide eyes, remembering; and for a while she was content to stay abed, putting her thoughts in order, assorting all her horrified impressions of the . At last she heard night before someone stop outside her door and stand still there as though listening; for a moment she shuddered with vague terrors, then decided this must be a friendly step, and called: "Come in." So Miss Moss opened the door; and June saw kindness in her, and strength and affection. The older woman came gently to her bedside; she said quietly: "Good morning. Miss Leaford. Did you sleep well?" "I must have, I think," June confessed. "What time is it?" "Past eleven," Miss Moss told her gently. "Stay in bed. I'll bring you some coffee. " But June sat up quickly. "Oh, no. So late!" And she asked: "Where's Clint?" "Sound asleep." "Is he all right?" Heale for guidance; and the other yielded. So the two men came out together; and out of doors, in the lee of the house, sheltered from the rain, Heale mopped his brow. in CHAPTER XII sisted. Tope said gently: "Yes, she's all right, Mr. Leaford." And at that word Heale swung toward him, then back to the other man. "You Mr. Leaford?" he demanded in a quick astonishment. There was a long silence; the other at last lifted his hand helplessly. "Yes. Yes. When Kitty died, I went . Came back yesterday. away But I didn't know about this till . . just now." "Where were you last night?" Heale demanded. "In my cabin down there." "Didn't wake up?" "No. I'd lost sleep lately." Heale made a gesture of satisfaction. "I guess you're the man I want," he said. June's father stared at him with narrowing eyes. "What are you talking about?" he demanded. It was Tope who answered. "We think Mrs. Leaford was murdered, think this last night was murder too," he said. And Heale added in a complacent tone: "So that's why I want you, Mr. Leaford. You're going for a little ride with me." "He was so brave," June whispered proudly; and Miss Moss said smilingly: "He's sleeping like a child. He took Inspector Tope out there last night, after you went to bed; but he came back soon himself, and I took care of him." June nodded. "You've always taken care of him, haven't you?" "Since his mother died, yes. Of him and of Clara." The girl insisted on arising; and she and Miss Moss had a long hour together before Clint woke at all, moving quietly, speaking in so that he might not be disturbed. Once the telephone rang, and Miss Moss answered it. June heard her speak in a steady negation to some insistent one, and guessed the truth before Miss Moss confessed to her. "That was your cousin," the older woman explained. "Mr. Taine wanting you to come home. He said he would come fetch you." "Rab or Asa?" June asked, almost fearfully. "I don't know." "Oh, I don't want to go," the girl declared. "I can't bear to go back there." "You need not," Miss Moss assured her calmly. "You will stay here as long as you choose, my dear." She smiled and lifted the receiver off the hook. "We'll not even answer the telephone," she declared. "Besides, it might wake Clint. He needs sleep." "I want to see him," June admitted, her cheeks bright; Miss Moss smiled, and on a sudden impulse put her arm around the girl. Later Miss Moss heard a buzzing in the telephone, and it continued so persistently that she lifted the receiver. This was Aunt Evie, insisting in her even, pitiless tones that iune come home. But Miss Moss yielded not an inch; and June, when she heard who it was, cried: "I can't, Miss Moss. Mother's dead, and now Grandma. Oh, I can't go back to them." Her voice was raised; it may have roused Clint, asleep in Inspector Tope's own bed. He came in pajamas to the door, his hair rumpled, his eyes drowsy, still not fully waked. But when June saw him there, she ran into his arms, and he held her close; and Miss Moss said in a deep and tender mirth: "She wouldn't be happy till you did wake up, Clint. I couldn't please half-whispe- rs her." ? Tints June looked back over her shoulder and said gratefully: "You were sweet to me. But I did want Clint too." So June was able to forget for a while those horrors of last night; she and Clint and Miss Moss laughed together over the breakfast-tabland while they washed dishes afterward. But early in the afternoon Inspector Tope came home. The old man was tired and worn and haggard, and his clothes were sod- den. Miss Moss seized on him and hustled him, protesting, away to change; she would have put him to bed, but the Inspector balked. June asked Clint desperately: "What is it, dear? What has hap- - DC ac.

Parkinson, M.D., Oakland, Calif., says in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Nasal congestion during a cold interferes with circulation about the openings of the sinuses. This increases swelling and congestion within the sinuses and permits accumulation of mucopus which the hair-lik- e projections in the respiratory tract are unable to remove. This complication is unfavorable to tissue defense. "Th purpose of local treatment during acute infection is ventilation in order to improve drainage," the author says. Shrinkage of the nasal mucous membranes with drugs opens the air passages. Free drainage then takes place if in the process of ventilation the hairlike drainage mechanism has not been damaged. This is why the selection of a physiologic drug is so important. Ephedrine in Locke's solution or its equivalent constitutes an efficient harmless agent for shrinkage. The drug best reaches the membranes of the air passages with the - lfi brilliant Bargain! prints and 2 20 8 stamp 30c. for Keprmts portraits 5c extra. Quality fiuihi-;t;- ' Glntr Print Stadia. Basin.

There they could only wait, while the embers of the Hurder house still smoked and steamed Inspector Heale went presently to sleep, here beside Tope in the car. A gray and miserable dawn came at last, through the drenched and sodden trees to reveal the desolation here. Where the Hurder house had stood was a black pit now, with timbers embers and scattered all around. Firemen were busy; and steam still rose from the embers. Dawn became day, and Inspector Heale woke, and took Tope away to breakfast and brought him back again. They could only wait; and it was near noon when they got back to Kenesaw Hill. The Chief at last came swiftly toward them, with something in his hand. He extended it triumphantly. "There, look at that!" he cried.
