Thus the center of romantic at- tention. Emily left the Three Crown having dull’ sulped down the cup of tea prescribed by Mrs. Belling. ‘

"By the way." she said to En- derby as the aged Ford sprang forward, “you are my cousin, don't

forget."

“why?”

“Theyve got such pure minds in the country," said Emily. "I thought it would be better."

“Splendid. In that case," said

Mr. Enderby ridng to his oppor-

tunlties, "I had better call you Emily."

"Ail right, cousin-what's ypur name?"

"Charles."

“All right, Charles."

Emily was rather fascinafgd by her first view of Sittaford. Turn- ing off the main road about two miles from Exhampton, they went upwards over a rough moorland road until they reached a village that was situated right on the edge of the moor. It consisted of a smlthy, and a combined post of- From there they followed a lane and came to a row of newly built small granite bungalows. At the second of these the car stopped and the driver vol- unteered the information that this was Mrs. Curtis's.

Mrs. Curtis Wat" a small, thin, gray haired woman, energetic and shrewish in disposition. She was all agog with the new; of the mur- der.

"Yes. of course I can take ycu in, miss, and your cousin too, if he can just wait until I shift a few duds. You won't mind having your meals along of us, I don't suppose? Well, who would have believed it! Cap- tain ‘Prevelyan murdered and an inquest and all! This morning when the news came you could have knocked me down with a, feather."

Both Emily and Charles decided the talkative Mrs. Curtis would prove uaeful.

CHAPTER. TWELVE

Drowned in a sea of talk, Emily and Charles Enderby were shown their new quarters by Mrs. Curtis. Emily had a small square room. scrupulously clean, looking out and up to the slope of Sittaford Bea- con. Charles's room was a small slit facing the front of the house and the lane, containing a bed and a mlscr -ir~ chest of drawers and washstand.

"The great thing is," he observed after the driver of the car had been duly paid and thanked, "that we are here. If we, don't know all there is to be known aboucevery- one living in Sittaford within the next quarter of an hour, I'll eat my hat."

Ten minutes later, they were sitting downstairs in the comfort- able kitchen being introduced to Curtis, s rather gruff locking gray haired old man, and being regaied with strong tea, bread and butterni Devonshire cream and hard boiled eggs. While they ate and drank they listened. Within half an hour they knew everything there was to be known about the inhabitants of the small community.

First there was Miss @rcehouse, who lived in No. 4 The Cottages, a. spinster of uncertain years and temper who had come down here to die, according to Mrs. Curtis, six years ago.

"But believed it or not, miss, the air of Sittaford is that healthy that she picked up from the day she came,

“Miss Percehouse has a. nephew’ who occasionally comes down to see her,“ she went on, "and indeed he's staying with her at the pres- ent time. Seeing to it that the money doesn't go out of the fam- ily, that's what hat doing, Very dull for a young gentleman at this time of year. But there, there's more ways than one of amusing yourself, and his coming has been a providence for the young lady at Sittaford ilIouse.

Charles Enderby and Emily ex- changed ‘ cos, Charles remem- bered that Ronald Garfield had been mentioned as one oi the party present at the table turning.

“The cottage this side of mine, No. 6". continued Mrs. Curtis, "has only just been took. Gentleman of the name of Duke. That is if you would call him a. gentleman. Of course, he may be and he maynot. There's no saying, folks aren't so particular nowadays. A bashful sort of gentleman he is-might be a military gentleman from the look of him, but somehow he hasn't got the manner. Not like Major Burnaby, that you would know as - a military gentleman the first time you clapped eyes on him.

"No. 8, that's Mr- Rycrofth, little eldsly gentleman. They do say that he used to go after birds to , outltandish parts for the British, Museum. What they call a natur- alist he is. Always out and roam- ing over the moor. And he has a very fine library of books. I-lis cot- tage is nearly all bookcases.

"No. 2. is an invalid gentleman's, . a Captain Wyatt with an Indian‘ servant. And poor fellow he does feel the cold, he does. The servant § I mean, not the captain. Coming from warm outlandish parts, it's nc wonder, The heat they keep up liside the house would frighten‘ you. It's like walking into an oven.

No. 1. jib Major Burnaby's cot- tage. Lives by himself he does, and I go in to do for him early i mornings, He is a very neat gentie- l man, he is, and very particular. He and Captain ‘Prevelyan were as thick as thieves. Friends of a life- time they were. And they both have the same kind of outlandish heads stuck up on the walls.

"As for Mrs. Willett and Miss Willett, that's what ‘no one can make out. Plenty of money there. Amos Parker at Exhampmn they deal with, and he tells me their weekly book comes to well over

wouldn't believe the eggs that goes into that house! Brought their maid servants from Exeier with them, they did, but they don't like it .and want to leave, and I'm sure I don't blame them. If you ask me it's a queer business, burying yourself in the country like this, a smart lady like that. Well, well, I suppose I had better be clearing away these tea things."

She drew a deep breath and so did Charles and Emily. The flow oi information loosened with so little difficulty had almost overwhelmed them.

Charles ventured to put a ques- tion. _

"Has Major Burnaby got back yet?" he asked.

Mrs. Curtis paused at once, tray in hand,‘ "Yes, indeed, sir, came tramping in just the same as ever about half an hour before you arrived ‘Why, sir,‘ I cried to him. ‘You've never walked all the way from Exhampton?’ And he say in his stern way, ‘Why not? If a man has got two legs he doesn't need four wheels. I do it once a week anyway as you know, Mrs. Curtis.’ I-Ie looks bad though: It's a mir- acle he ever got through on Friday night. Brave I call it at his age. You may say what you like, but nowadays the young gentlemen aren't a patch on the old ones. Tlhat Mr. Ronald Garfield, he would never have done it, and it's my opinion, and it's the opinion cf Mrs. Hibbert at the post office, and it's the opinion of Mr. Pound, the blacksmith, that Mr. Garfield ought never to have let him go off alone the way he did. He should have gone with him. If Major Burnaby had been lost in a snowdrift, everybody would have blamed Mr. Garfield. And that's a fact."

She disappeared triumphantly into the scuilery amid a clatter of tea things.

Mr. Curtis thoughtfully removed an aged pipe from the right side of his mouth to the left side.

"Womenf he said, "talk a lot." He paused and then murmured, “And half the .time they don't know the truth of what they are talking about"

izho had followed her in, and yet. i she was a very pretty girl, tall and fair with big blue eyes. Mrs. Willett herself took a. seat.

"Is there any way in which I can help you, inspector? I knew very little of poor Captain Trevelyan, but if ihcre is anything you can think of—"

The inspector said slowly, “Thank_ you, madam. 0f course, one never knows what may be useful or what may not."

"I quite understand. ‘Ihere may possibly be something in the house that may throw light upon this sad business. but I rather doubt. it. Captain Trevalyan removed all his personal belongings. He even feared I» should tamper with his fishing rods, poor, dear man."

She laughed a little.

"You were not acquainted with him?"

"Before I took the house, you mean? Oh! no. I've asked him here several times since, but he never came. 'I‘erribly shy, poor dear. That was what was the mat- ter with him. I've known dozens of men like it. They are called women haters and all sorts of silly things, and really all the time it's only shyness. if I could have got at him," said Mrs. Willett with determination, "I'd soon have got over all that nonsense, That sort cf man only wants bringing out"

Inspector Narracott began to understand Captain 'I‘revelyan's strongly defensive attitude towards his tenants.

"We both asked him," continued Mrs. Willett, "Didn't we, Violet?"

"Oh! yes, mother."

“A real simple sailor at heart," said Mrs. Willett. "Every woman loves a sailor, Inspector Narracott."

It occurred to Inspector Narra- cott at this juncture that» the interview so far had been run en- tirely by Mrs. Willett. He was con- vlnced that she was an exceed- ingly clever woman. She might be as innocent as she appeared. On the other hand she might not.

“The point I arn anxious to get information about is this," he said. "Major Burnaby, as you doubtless know, discovered the body. I-Ie was led to do so by an accident that occurred in this house."

"You mean?"

"I meun. the table turning. I beg your pardon--" .

He turned sharply. A faint sound had come from the girl,

"Poor Violet,’ said her mother- “She was terribly upset-indeed we all were! Most unaccountable. I'm not superstitious, but really ’lt was the most unaccountable thing."

"It did occur then?"

Mrs. Willett opened her eyes very wide.

"Occur? Of course it occurred. At the time I thought it was a joke-a most unfeeling joke and one in very bad taste."

“It was curious," said the in- spector slowly._"You were very up- set. Mrs. Willett?"

“We all were. Up to then it had been, oh, just light hearted fool- ing. You know the sort of thing. Good, fun on a winter's evening."

And then suddenly-this! It—it's uncanny."

"And you. Miss Willett? What do you think?"

“I?" The girl started. "I-I don't know. I shall never forget it. I dream of it. I shall never dare to do table turning again."

“Mr. Iiycroft would say it was genuine, I suppose," said her mother. "He believes in all that sort of thing. Really I'm inclined to believe in it myself. What other explanation is there except that it was a genuine message from s spirit?" '

The inspector shook his hesd. The table turning had been his red herring. i-iis next remark was most casual sounding.

It was no longer ago than 1928 when it was observed that patients suffering from pernicious anaemia were much improved when they used half a pound of liver each day.

Anaemia is a general term which means that the blood is deficient in quantity or quality. There are several kinds of anaemia, such as that which follows upon‘ a humor- rhage. or the anaemia which usu- ally develops as a part of such chronic diseases as tuberculosis, cancer, malaria and lead poisoning.

During the saine spring month, st a convention in St. Catharines, of the “Ontario Council of Wom- en," a resolution was parsed con- demning magazine advertseme is “making uan ry display of the female form," and containing what was described as "indecent dessrip tions of hygienic requisites."

The influence of many such ads in breaking down modesty is un- teilable.

In addition many magazines are encouraging the habit of cigarette smoking by‘ women by their full- page ads decorated by a cigarette in the dainty fingers of an attract- ive maiden. These magazines should not come into the home, but should be given the cold shoulder of non- patronage.

That an influential organization such as the “Council of Women" are outspoken in their criticism of a more than questionable tendency means much for the preservation of morals in Canadian homes.

PJLI. and Iii Mental Cases

Reporting to the prental hygiene committee c1 the Council of Wom- en last June in Toronto. Mrs. J. R. Gilley, New Westminster, called attention to a serious condition in Canada-the definite increase in admissions to institutions treating mental illness in six of the Cana- dian provinccs. the two exceptions being Nova Scolia and Prince Ed- ward Island. This report stated that in Ontario the “mental pop- ulation" is increasing faster than the general population.
