In hia own mind, there existed considerable con-siderable doubt concerning Webster Speara' guilt And yet the logic applied ap-plied by the detective was sound. It was Spears wbo bad attempted to bait the wedding, Spears who had Involved Bylle Carmody, and probably prob-ably he, also, wbo had been the author au-thor of those telephone calls to Choo Cboo Train and Ambrose Carmody. He bad quit the churcb In time to commit the crime, making some remark re-mark In regard to halting the wedding, wed-ding, and certainly he had not told the full truth when questioned. Opposed Op-posed to these arguments, Peter had only the conviction that he could not have reached that dagger on the wall and a reluctant sympathy for Callls Shipley who was so Inextricably Inextri-cably " Involved In any case made against either Spears or Rylle Carmody.

Again arid again he reviewed the evidence as KUday had developed it Each time be argued completely around the circle, cir-cle, arriving back at Callls Shipley. What bad there been between this girl and Spears? Or Franklin? If Spears were guilty, hadn't his love for Doris Carmody been the actu ating motive for the crime? If so, why was Callls protecting him? That didn't fit But neither could he make the sympathy which this girl had aroused In him fit In with the fact that she bad withheld the Just nice boys, both of them. Tbey arent criminals."

Two spots of color flamed In the girl's cheeks. The earnestness of her manner, as she leaned toward him, Impressed Peter much more than be wished to admit "That's why I am here," she declared fervently. fer-vently.

"I suppose you know Web has been arrested," she began uneasily. He nodded. "And Rylie Is being followed by detectives." Peter thought briefly how angered an-gered Kllday would have been, had be known the activities of his detective de-tective had been so promptly discovered. dis-covered. - - - . "Do you think either of them had anything to do with the crime?" tlio girl demanded. "Do you think so?" the novelist parried. "It's unthinkable," declared ttm girl vehemently. "'IVy aren't tlio sort who murder people. They are damaging for Rylie, too. Oh, I've been very foolish. I can see that now, but I was only trying to help Rylie. 'Tm not afraid to tell you the truth.

You see, I'm the one responsible for the predicament predica-ment tbey both are In. If I hadn't tried to twist the facts around, neither of them would be suspected now, I'm sure. It's my fault and i must help them, some way. That's why I've come to you. ' You must believe me, Mr. Cardigan. And you must help me." "You aren't asking me to solve the mystery, Missj Shipley," declared Peter soberly.' "You're asking me to prove that these two young men are Innocent." "But If I know they are Innocent Inno-cent " she pleaded. Peter braced himself against the wlstfulneas of the girl's appeal From the first he bad wanted to believe her, yet she had betrayed bis Instinctive confidence In her, not once, but several times. Now, trapped by these admitted discrepancies discrep-ancies in her previous testimony, she courted his assistance. Probsbly she had senaed his sympathy tnm the first and relied upon Its spell now. Was that why she was reluctant to submit to Kllday's questioning? He was angry, with himself as much as with the girl "What were you doing at Spears' last night?" he challenged. "I knew It was be who told Rylle about that actress. That was why Rylie was so anxious to stop the wedding and I wanted to be sure Web didn't say anything that would Increase the suspicion against him." "What did Web really say when be left the church?" Peter checked another discrepancy In her story. She hesitated only for an Instant "He said. 'Where's Rylle? If he were here, there wouldn't be any wedding.' You see 1 told you the truth the first time, but after Web and I talked It over, we decided that remark was-very damaging to Rylle.-We Rylle.-We both agreed to change It a little, for that reason."

Carolyn T. Radnor Lewis In Child Life Maga-ilne. It Is quite a comedown for gold to be used for money or the basis for currency. It would require a combination of historian, philosopher, banker, poll tlclan and mystic to write the history of the precious metal. Dr. Frederick 0. Howe, consumers' counsel of the Agricultural Adjustment admlnlstra tlon, told the Cosmos club the other olgbt Among tbe ancient Hindus It was revered as sacerdotal He who tarn pers with It" said tbe law, "dies on a dunghill and rots In hell to the end of time." Only princes could so much a touch It Gold wa first demoted to the pnv fane status of "money," Doctor Howe said, by the Lydlans, who put the king's stamp upon It and used it as medium of exchange. Interest Immediately Imme-diately arose to 86 per cent farmer lost their land and sold themselves and their families into slavery in order to live. This 36 per cent. Doctor Howe said, was the first money interest and arose naturally out of the former Ly-dian Ly-dian system of doing business. Trade bad been primarily In cattle. When cows were sold on credit It was assumed they would have calve. So the seller demanded the price of a calf as additional payment This was calculated at about one-third tbe value of a cow. When you pay Interest to tbe bank today you are paying, genetically considered, the price of the calf of the cow you borrowed. Other notes on gold from Doctor Howe's studies : All the gold on earth is worth about $11,000,000,000, It could be stored In a room of 30 cubic feet The workers of the United States could earn It all by working 60 daya at $5 a day. They could earn all the gold In their own country In 20 days. The total of gold in the United State has about the same Intrinsic value as to total of diamonds.

Fruit Treat a Good Bet Some years ago so many orchards were planted that there was an overabundance, over-abundance, but this condition promises prom-ises to be greatly changed In the future. fu-ture. Many orchards have been allowed al-lowed to die out and the time is coming com-ing when fruit will be in much better demand. As It Is. too late to start an orchard after the demand has come. It Is a wise plan to Invest a little In this form of land Improvement The trees cost so lltle that this does not have to prevent anybody from having hav-ing an orchard, or at least a few select trees. The United States Is especially blessed because fruit of some, sort can be grown In every state. We should appreciate this fact all the more when we remember that In many countries fruit Is such a luxury that It Is beyond the reach of average people. Pathfinder Magazine.
