"See here," he continued confl- dentislly. “I've given myself I. ever- lastin' headache tryin' to recon. struct what I've been doln' this last day or two. and I just can't got nowhere on the problem. I'm plumb licked. Bay. hasn't nobody around here gotten any sort of g wet drink?"

sleep.

"MB? I Iilllest you give him a .l‘ink air?" the inspector asked

.r. Leasing. ‘'1 can't imagine ..iat he's been up to, but he seems pretty well ‘all in. He's dazed, as it is, but not too stupid. With an- other spot we might be able to re- vive him for I minute or two. I‘d like to keep him talking. He'll be less guarded now than later."

“As you wish," Leasing acquiesc- ed, and went out. He came back almost at once, accomppaiued by the butler. Simmons lifted the de- canter of brandy and waited with it poised.

The inspector shook the seated man's shoulder vigorously.

"Here's your drink," he esaid.

with an effort Brett roused him- self. “Gee, this nose-paint looks pretty good." His hand trembling, he almost snatched the decanter and himself poured out a generous measure, then waved away Sini- mons and his tray and soda-siphon, "Nix on the water pitcher."

l-le lifted the glass and in one deep draught drank the neat Jfilndy it contained.

“Gee, that sure has saved my life and clarified the hobbled brains some." he declared more briskly, as. after sitting for a moment with closed eyes, he stood up. "Now. professor. we come back to -where we got sawed off. It's my friend Sherwood Dexter I got to see. An’ nothing short of dynamite is goin’ to head me off."

"You come from the states. don't you" the inspector asked.

“Sure do. Ain't I told you al- ready?”

“You have come over here on business. I suppose?"

“Business? Ain't got none, though I've been every blame’ thing in this world barrin‘ a choirboy."

“You carry a gun since you came over?"

"WhY- Yes.‘ I got to admit it. I'll auow I feel a whole lot more com- fortable toting a gun. They make ‘em nice an‘ handy’ now-—not like when we'd carry around a pesky great forty-five. But--''

"Have you got it now?"

Brett stared sharply his -whole countenance changed as involun- tarily he moved his hand shaklly to his jacket pocket. He stared hard ‘at his questioner. “No, I ain't got it. First thing I noticed when I came to. some guy's been deaiin‘ me cards from the bottom of the deck. That comes 0' hlttin' the liquor too plenty. Guess I'll catch a cold now goln’ around without. it. But what's your concern with this-all?" he continued, again in aggressive vein.

"Come over here."

The inspector guided him by the arm across the room to within a few feet of the table on which the pistol lay.

"Is that yours?" he asked “Rie- cognlse it?"

"Holy smoke! Sure, it's mine! But who's fixed this on the barrel- thls silencer? where'd you find it?" l-le stretched out a confident hand to lift the weapon. but the de-

There seemed to penetrate into Brett's bemused mind a vague un- easiness. 1-lls aggressive mood de- veloped.

"See here! What's back of all this? Where's Dexter? That's what I want to know."

Instead of replying. the detective turned him around, pushed him forward to the couch at the distant and of the room and. stooplng down. pulled back the velvet cover- ing from the dead man and the lighter cloth from the now livid

But Jamie is not one to lolter at the like too long. At milking- time, he helps with the calves’ pails. and often in oornpany with the other lad. a willing and tym- pathetic and faithful attendant. he’ carries cow's milk to the pet lamb.

“There now!" the younger fellow‘ came away from a telephone con-- versation with his mother. on a recent waning in dlnnay, “I for- got to tell her about the pet lamb —that we feed him now with a bottle!" And when allowed to return to it. he finally turned away beaming. "Mother never saw it." he explained. “and I just had to tell her!"

“Gran'daddy said". volunteered» Jamie one day. “that I pet lamb‘: one awful nuisance about a place, if they're not kept penned up. I don't think so, do you? They're such nice playful little animals, and kind. aren't they? Didn't your boys often have them?" We nod- ded . . . remembering. It is so easy to bring back to mind scenes from our younger days, pictures that are being lived again by these children at present in our care. '

In this week of pleasant weath- er the farmers were taken up with their marketing problems. Fin-ished-hogs were sent outwards, loads of feed brought in. Seed'_ potatoes loo were gotten oiif by: huge truck "just in the nick of time" before roads were closedi to heavy hauling—-away to plant some far acreage. or maybe’ to feed a hungry world. Not that there likely would be much last to so modest an oilfering, but as Aunt Kitty Mahoney used to whisper with complacency wheni she dropped her broad copper on the collection plate of a Sunday- and with truth. "It all helps!” Also in the cycle of farming, new litters of piglets arrived and a pedigreed fowl with a throaty gobble was added to the women's flocks at Alderlea, though not without masculine advice on the subject. which was contrary to the enterprise. We searched in vain for a duck egg to prove that ihis is Spring, and learned that the domestic geese in the neigh- borhood had that very morning deposited their magic eggs in 1! downy March.ne.st..

And in Jamie’: words: "wharf will it be like?" in April, here so quickly on March's heels. C. H. Towne' sings of it thus in “An April Song.”

“Now once more the crocus flames, The tulip lifts its cup;

And over every green morass, Beyond the utmost

grass. Earth drinks the wonder up.

There is in glory in the world: The morning is like wlne._

And pale ascension lilies lean Like gods who late in heaven have

been. Half flowerllke, half divine.

0 sweet revival of the grass!

0 sweeter songs that rise,

When jocund April leads her train Through the gold sunlight and the

rain. And earth is paradise."
