I didn't know it, till I saw him kiss her, last night. She'd been in Providence with me. We used to go away together whenever I had business out of town." He looked up at the girl beside him with a deep fondness. "I saw him kiss her," he explained. "And she slipped away, and I found her crying, in the woods behind the barn.

"Father and Mother knew; but we didn't tell anyone else, because Rab's people would disown him. "I knew Asa too, and he used to make love to me. So finally, to make him stop, I told him Rab and I were married. But it didn't do any good. He kep"t after me just the same, and when I threatened to tell Rah, he said if I did, he'd tell old Mrs. Bowdon we were married. So I didn't tell Rab; but last night Asa kissed me, and Rub saw him, and was furious with me, so I had to tell him. Then he was wild at Asa" She broke oil, for they were come suddenly to the top of Kenesaw Hill, to the Taine house. Inspector Tope hurried across the lawn. Miss Moss saw how tired he was, and held him hard for a moment. "There," she whispered, "dear man!" And she asked: "Where is Clint? Where is June?" He pointed to the Bowdon house a little way off, where there was a lighted window on the second floor. "They're asleep up there. Miss Leaford is in bed with a blanket over her; Clint in a chair beside her, holding her hand." There was a deep exhilaration in then turning to Tope she said: her; ' So it was Asa? You know, I picked Rab, all the time." Tope shook his head. "He was in Providence last night, when the fire started," he reminded her. "I thought he might have gone down there and registered, and then come back to set the fire, raced back to Providence again. There was time." "No, he'd put his car up for the "He was night," Tope insisted. here, all right." He added awkwardly: "I didn't tell you, but he had a girl with him. They regis- To arouse Clint and June. while.

"And he proved tonight that he was insanely ready to kill, that he had murder in him. He tried to kill Rab, and he'd made his plans to kill June and Mr. Hurder too. Asa convicted himself tonight." He added sternly: "And executed himself too. Saved you the trouble, Heale." Heale stood silent awhile; the day brightened, and the sun began to burn away the clouds. The man said at last: "You know, I kind of hate this. I'm sorry for these folks up here. Four of them dead, in less than a month. They've had about enough, it looks to me." Tope smiled faintly. "Yes," he agreed; and he said gravely: "Outside of a few people who won't talk, this thing tonight might pass as an accident, Inspector. Cars have smashed into trees before." As Heale considered this, Tope added: "You've never charged Mr. Leaford, have you? Nothing in the newspapers?" "No, just held him," Heale replied. "He was willing to stand for that, wait till something happened." Tope nodded; and then he looked toward the road and chuckled.

But if a tropical disturbance does turn into a hurricane, that means it has become a "storm of tropical origin with cyclonic wind circulation," strong enough to send the Beaufort measuring scale up to 12, its highest point. According to an official of the Baltimore weather bureau, hurricanes are caused by a seasonal interaction between the area ot ingn pressure, known as the "Bermuda High," and atmospheric conditions in the belt of doldrums. The United States weather bureau says that frequent showers, light winds, warm, moist air are necessary for their development. Heat is liberated during showers, because of the condensation into rain, and this energy is enough to start things These conditions may not going. sound dramatic enough to serve as the cause of a hurricane, but even dynamite seems harmless until it explodes. Whenever conventional showers set in over an area where the storm is brewing, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less. The "glass" begins to drop. The drop in pressure starts a flow of air pouring in toward the storm center from all sides. COOLER, milder smoking in Camels.
