Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD Sylvia told me this story. She said that after Marden left ihe Stow kitchen, the night of the masquer-adshe suddenly remembered that she had left Dorinda Belle down by the Merry Mere. She said that she couldnt bear to have Dorinda Belle stay out all night It might rain. She didnt want to ask you if she could go get her for fear you wouldnt let her. And so she too went out through the little garage door and ran as fast as she could to the Merry Mere. It took her a few minutes to find the doll. The little imp! I exclaimed involuntarily. But what she let drop was what established this case for me that she could hear Ace Blaikie and Mr. Hexson talking in the Spinney. That you see was my last link. Now I have to go back and tell you that when we all went into the Spinney, after Sarah Darbe discovered Ace I found something. Nobody else saw it and Ive never spoken of it to anybody. On the bark at the base of the nearest white birch were three drops of what appeared to be green ink. It was a loose piece of birch bark. I tore it off and put it Into my pocket In the excitement nobody noticed. Both you and Sarah were watching Joe Geary as he worked over Ace. Patrick drew out his From it he nipped an envelope. From the envelope he drew a piece of birch bark and handed it to me. On it were three green ink spots. By hook or crook, he went on, I managed to find out if there was any green In any house on the Head. Perhaps you can remember now that I got two of the witnesses I examined in this house to lend me their fountain pens. Neither of them used green ink. I had asked Ken Winslow to hold up any letter that came through the post office written with green ink. But none came. When I came in from my talk with Sylvia on the piazza believe me I was boiling with excitement there you stood with a written list of some kind in your hands. And all the items on it were written in green Ink. When you told me that you had made that list at Bruce Hexsons, I Knew.

" how it came about (THE END. but e s to throii side. it by his one side. sd i it CHAPTER I Victoria Herrendeen came up from the beach with her sandy fingers tight in her fathers hand. Those girls down there had been mean to her because she didnt understand the French they were jabbering with Mademoiselle, and they had laughed at her. When Dad had appeared, with his usual smile, wearing his old blue coat and the loose old white trousers Mother sometimes let him wear on a summer morning, he had looked to his daughter like an angel of light. Here was her unfailing friend and champion. He came down from the San Francisco office when he could; not every week-enbut at least every other week-enand when he was there Victoria had the companion she loved best in the world, and the best time any little girl ever had on a beach. Dad was a chemist whatever that was and worked in c laboratory with a man named Butler, who was mean to him, and a lot of other men who Were nice. Victoria knew about Butler because she had often heard her mother say, Butler wouldnt put it over on me that way, Keith. Id not stand it! I wonder what you do. They loved each other dearly, she and her father. They were exquisitely happy together.

She was washing herself now, busily and effectively, the muddy soap squeezing in great firm suds through her fingers, her wet straight tawny hair dripping on her shoulders. She took a comb and dragged the damp locks back severely. Now take your fingers and soften that around your forehead, Vic. Yes, Mrs. Herrendeen said, jerking another pillow under her head. I do play good bridge. Does Dad? asked Vic. He doesnt like it Nor dancing. Nor night clubs. Nor big cars and yachts and distinguished persons. Nor anything I like," Magda might have answered from the sense of checkmate, of complete bafflement in her heart. But she said only the first phrase aloud. For the rest she lay there thinking, watching her husbands face. Victoria and Ill take care of each other," Keith said, ln a hard voice. I could telephone and say I'll be up after dinner, Magda offered. What good would that do? Well, thats just it; no good. They arent dining until nearly Eightish, Sibyl said. Youll eight. be all through here by seven.1 Well take care of each other, Keith said again. There goes the dinner bell," said, leaping from rock to rock beside him. Goody! Are you hungry? Im starving." Mrs. Herrendeen coming to dinEmma said, giving then! ner? their napkins and setting two glasses of cut fruit before them. No, she cant come tonight." Upon their return to their room immediately after dinner, Vic and her father found Victorias mother all ready to go. Her manner was the prettily careless one that disguises in a beautiful woman a sudden touch of I wonder youll speak to me for being such a runaway! she said to them with her appealing smile. She was always gentle; Victoria had never seen her mother harsh or angry. You look lovely, Magda," her husband said. He said it without enthusiasm, almost wearily, as he sat down. The lovely vision stooped to kiss his forehead. She caught up the familiar wrap. Victoria had seen her catch it up a hundred times; it was her only one, except for the two shawls. And Mother said shawls were not really smart any more. And now she was giving to Dad and Victoria her familiar good-blaugh and nod, an excited, triumphant laugh and nod, as if she said, Now that Im all ready I'm not scared; anyone who looks as I do must have a good time! and she was running away. There was a young man in a light overcoat outside the French windows; there always was. And there was a rakish low car waiting In the drive; that was always there, too, Mother met the one and ran down to the other, and there was the roar of a deep engine, and she was Vu-tor- h gone. harnesscd Hulda Goes On Dishpan Duty Htappy Tattern Hulda, as invites you to cross stitch this set of seven tea towels (8 to the inch crosses), in the gayest floss you can find!

The human nose has always re sponded to this odor and the ancient Homans held it in particular esteem. They used it liberally in their ointments and balms as well as in their cooking, and as the ultimate mark of their appreciation of this spice they set it apart as the incense for sacrificial and ceremonial fires. When a god was to be appeased, or the shade of a departed spirit was to be honored, it was the perfume of cinnamon wafted heavenward on uprising clouds of smoke that carried the message. No Roman doubted that an odor so pleasing to man could fail to placate the Olympian dieties. The Roman media of atonement was not buns but bonfires, and their theory was that the more cinnamon consumed, the greater the Incense and therefore the greater the pleasure of the diety or the spirit who was being honored.
