If not, I beg of yon that it be done, though I regret the necessity. Ignore Madame Malden's wishes, and employ the best talent available for such- - work.

Then, and Stones voice was seIf a trace of some such rious, poison is found, you know, I suppose, what the Immediate reaction will be You mean suspicion will be strengthened against me. I expect so, but I prefer that to this entire lack of knowledge.

And my notion that we may find some evidence of poison Is so slight as to be practically I am not despairing, negligible. you understand, I haven't the slightest doubt of ultimate success, but there are so many obstacles that must be overcome.

You know, I suppose, he means war to the knife? And the circumstances are so So definite and so Incriminating Yes, though I didnt mean to put It so strongly. Yet Its the truth.

Gaskells handsome face looked moody and distressed, but In a moment It cleared, and he Bmlled. Never mind all that, he said.

He doesnt like Tony Gas-keleither. And he has a grudge of some sort against Mr. Garth." Im glad to get these hints, Bob. I think I shall go to Washington as soon as Perillas California party gets started, and what youve told me will be a help. Youre going on the trip? If you dont want me here. No, I want you there. Youre to keep a general watch out and give an alarm lf anything Is alarming. I fear something may turn up, but I I'll hold may be the fort here, and of course, theyll have meetings of the executors, which I shall manage to attend one way or another.

This program was put over, and summoned Mr. Buckle, who was to the perplexed detective was glad to get to his room, where he could be alone to think. Bob and Tony were at Perillas early the next morning. Gaskell drew her aside, and then Into a small reception room and closed the so" l, p door. Dont be frightened, he said, smiling at her startled gaze, I only want to whisper a word of warning. You know I was Coreys best man, now I want to be yours. And I mean only to warn you against one or two things. Dont be too kind to Garth. Oh, I know this sounds like the babble of a Jealous fool, and I dont say Im not that, but lf you want to or mean to smile on Roger Garth, wait till you get home again to do It Therell be time enough then. And dont be angry with me for saying this Im not angry, but I fall to see what right you have to dictate m.v behavior. You were Coreys best man, but that doesnt mean you are mine I know. Farman Says He Thinks Perilla Used a Hypodermic Needle." attend to everything In any way pertaining to the trip. They decided to go the next day but one. They would spend the first night In Warren, Ohio, and the second in Columbus. It was decided that Stones party the next evening should Include only those going on the trip, Perillas parents, and a few others at Perillas discretion, Perilla, herself, began to waver a little as to the wisdom of her plans. She said so to Tony GaskelL I wish you were going, Tony," she said; youre always so dependable and reliable." Lots of things Id rather be called than those two, and Tony made a wry face. Here, you, Bob let that bottle alone. Ill give you a highball." Bob grinned and took the modest drink offered him, reinforcing It at first chance. You must stay overnight, Tony, Stone said; you have to be here tomorrow. All right. Stone, I mean to stay over. But lf you're crowded Ill go to a hotel. "Not crowded a bit Nobody here but Coles and you and me. Very well, then, TU stay here, and mighty glad to do so." Perilla took Jane and Hilda and went home early, and not much later Malcolm and the Lovells went home. The three men left In Stones apartment sat In silence for a time. I do like Mr. Lovell," Stone and hes said; "hes as devoted to those two children as lf they were his own. Malcolms a good sort too, and he sure looks after his sister. What a lovely thing she Is," said Gaskell, fairly blurting out the words, as lf unable to repress them longer. "We all agree to that said Bob, with a sigh. Well, me to bed. Come on, Gaskell, lets leave our host to check up his notes of this evenings doing." Walt a minute," Stone held them; who are the Dunstnns? Bob told Nobody in particular, Old friends of the family, him. 1 level-heade- Forgive me, Perllla. I truly meant only to speak for your own good. Oh, darling, lf you knew what you mean to me! and unable to restrain himself, Tony clasped her In his arms. Just for a moment, though, and then, letting her go, he said, Now you know and Im not sorry. I promise never to lose command of myself again and youre going to forgive me this once, arent you? Tell me I cant let you leave me In an uncertainty. Well, then I forgive you this on condition that never once, again " Come along, Pril," called Malcolm, through the door. Buckle la here, and youre needed. Hurry Were bound for California. Tony followed Perllla from the room, and set himself to work In earnest, helping stow away small bits of luggage and special belongings of Perllla. He could not wait for the actual departure, nor could Stone, who stopped In for a moment to say good-by- . The first car held the redoubtable Buckle, driving, also Sarah, and Mrs. Dunstans maid. The second contained Perllla, Hilda, Jack Dun-sta- n and Bob. This was driven by Bailey, Perillas own chauffeur. The other car brought up the rear, with Alice Dunstan and Jane, Malcolm and Roger Garth, driven by Garths man, Hopper. About the time the party was emerging from the Holland tunnel Into the New Jersey sunshine Gas-kereceived a telegram from Richard Carleton, saying he would be In New York by noon, and hoped to have a meeting of the executors that afternoon, as he had to return to Washington on a night train. Tony callel np Stone and also Mr. Lovell, the latter advising that the meeting be held at his home. This was arranged, and at three oclock a conclave was held for the discussion of Perlllas fortune.

Powder keg of Europe; witches For caldron; political sore spot years such graphic labels have been tacked onto this small but highly Industrialized region lying north of between France and Germany. From the days of Attila and the Caesars down to Foch and Von Ulndenburg, Its valleys and wooded hills have rocked and echoed to the tramp and shouts of marching armies. Geographically, the Saar Is an Irregular patch of hilly land crossed by small valleys. It lies alongside Luxembourg, forms a buffer state between France and Germany, and was cut from the two German states of Prussia and flavaria. With a population about equnl to that of Boston proper, it shelters more than 1,000 people per square mile one of the most densely settled areas In all Europe. Only such miniature European states as Andora, Liechtenstein, San Slarlno and Monaco nre smaller than this tiny, yet dynamic country. America knows no state so dwarfish. Delaware is about three times the Saars size, yet has less than a third. Its population. Sanrbruckcn, metropolis of the Saar, has only 132,400 people; yet In one year Saar trains haul 00,000,-00passengers I Sit in any stuffy cafe at watch the guests eat red cabbage and boiled pork, or sip fat steins of beer as the band plnys heavy Wagner music, and the place seems just another German industrial center. But look Into Its eventful annnls, or make a careful trip about Its historic roads and ruins, and you find a land with a past peculiar to Itself. Saar Problem In Caesars Time. There was, In fact, a Saar problem even In Roman times, when blond men from the east of the Rhine already had invaded this basin. In Caesars Commentaries you read of these early German settlers. One Roman report of the time says that 120, 0(K) barbarians, enamored of Gaul, had settled here. Caesar feared these Germans might menace Rome Itself; so he helped the Gauls drive them back across the Rhine. His battles on the Aisne and elsewhere were precursors of centuries of fighting along the Rhine. Some Roman military roads hereabouts are shown on the Ieutlnger map of about 200 A. D. One ran north from Argentoratura (now to the Saar basin. Strasbourg) About this same time the Romans built a castle at a point on the Saar river where it was bridged by their military road from Taris to Mains. Saarbrncken was so named, meaning Saar Bridge. Dense forests choked all the basin then, forests frequented by heathen druids, by wild Celtic tribes who hunted deer and boars with Scattered ruins of menspears. hirs, dolmens and cromlechs, symbols of the druid cult, have been found In the Saar forests. Roman ruins are there if you dig ruins of villas, of baths and bridges, some almost In the shadow At of early Christian churches. Tholey Is a church that dates from the Thirteenth century. In sharp contrast, near Saarbrncken Is a mosque built by the French during the World war, wherein their Moroccan soldiers might pray I Long Held by Germans. Strategically, ths Saar lies on a natural route between France and Germany, and for centuries they have disputed as to where their boundary lines should be fixed. Soon after the break up of Charlemagne's empire, and the Treaty of Verdun, In 813, the Saar became German soil. Briefly, for more than a thousand years prior to the Versailles treaty, Germany held the Saar, except for two short periods, the second being the years from 1793 to ISIS, when Napoleon pushed the French frontier to the Rhine. When Bluclier and his Prussians advanced into France In 1813, he followed the very route taken by THOUGH Alsace-Lorrain- e 0 Snar-brueke- -- In the Saar. the German hordes when the Roman empire fell. It was so In the Franco Prussian war; Von Moltke, In 1870, followed Blucliera route of 1813, and about Saarbrucken came one of the first clashes of that war which helped Bismarck to found his German empire. Again, of course, in the World war, the armies passed this way, and many an allied soldier washed his shirt in the Saar, the Moselle and the Rhine, or traded cigarettes and white bread to willing frauleins for a jug of wine. Fly over Suarlouls, where Marshal Ney was born, and In its very heart you see the outline of the old forts built by Louis XIV of France. Dating, as a town, from 1680, Its people lived for more than 200 years almost wholly by trading with the garrisons first French, then German, then French agnln. Today old walls and moats that encircled the fort have ben torn down and filled to make broad, smooth streets, as the Americans did with pnrts of Manila. German Infantry, artillery, cavg alry, army wagons all the machinery of war made Saarlouls a busy town until after the World war. When they evacuated, the French came In for a while; but now few occupants are found for all the vast bnrracks. It is quiet, almost too quiet, for those residents who remember the band concerts, the glittering reviews, and fat army pay rolls of other days. French Are Scarce There. German in race, speech, culture, and traditions, the Saar showed r census only about one by a person In 200 with French as bis native tongue. It was simply a legal accident at Versailles which made these people citizens, temporarily, of a phantom state. The Saar, under that treaty, gained no nationality, no president or other ruler of its own. Instead, a commission of five Europeans was named by the League of Nations to administer the territorys affairs until the plebiscite. By treaty the Saar went under a customs union with France; Frencli customs guards were set to patrol the line between Germany and the Saar and French money was put into use. To pay France for her own coal mines damaged by Germans In the World war, she was given the coal mines In the Saar. The treaty provided also that after the plebiscite Germany might buy these mines back again Lf she wished, and such an agreement was concluded late In 1934. Only around Saarlouls Is any French Influence noticeable, and that is not due to the presence there of many living Frenchmen. Such Influence belongs to the past Van-baold forts built when Louis XIV made this a French garrison town; French names and epitaphs In the cemetery; and an odd local dialect current among older residents, a curious blend of German and French. To see how thoroughly German the region is. In speech and sentiment, you have only to mingle with any holiday crowd and listen to the songs, the speeches, and the music; or read the papers; or see wliat crowds follow broadcasts from the radio stations at Frankfurt and Stuttgart Industry la Intensive. As in the Ruhr, Industry here Is compact Intensive, and theatrical In Its setting. Like volcanoes, Its giant mills, as at Volklingen (230,204), belch forth clouds of thick gray smoke; the red glare of blast furnaces turns black night Into brilliant Gehenna. Under every hill is coal. Over every mine Is a big wheel on a tower; again and again you see the big wheel spin, as It winds up a cable that lifts Its load from deep In the earth. This Is the only place on earth where you see mines and steel mills closely crowded by forests, as lf bits of Industrial Pittsburgh were set In one of our forest reserves. The wooded slopes of the winding Saar river ail covered with snow much resemble Algonquin park In Ontario in winter; it seems the woods must be as dense and mysterious as when druids built their sacrificial altars there and hungry pagan Celts searched for wild meat. money-spendin- Salt Lake City Directory ALTONjCO Write For Spring Catalog L ARTIFICIAL LIMB CO.
