H. PORTERFIELD In the fall of 1913, a young farm- er over in Solano county found he had saved about $3000. He thereupon bought ten acres of | hillside land, set it out to a certain excellent variety of wine grapes and took care of the vines. In 1918, just as these grapes were coming into bearing, the country went dry. The young farmer who had contri- buted his last available bean to the campaign fund of the Wine Growers and Wine Makers’ Association to fight prohibition, saw himself done out of the savings of a life time and compelled to begin life all over pgain: at the bottom. ff the country had stayed wet, he | could have sold his 50-ton grape crop! to the winery at maybe $20 the ton, or $1000, in good years. He was sick at heart. He called up a neighbor and told him he. could | * have the wood if he would dig up the vines, as he was going to plant beans on the land. | The neighbor began grubbing out } the vines, but ‘when four acres were cleared, gave up as he had all the weod he wanted. Meantime the crop had ripened and | a buyer strolling along offered to take the frait from the remaning six acres. They’re For It The farmer grew thoughtful, asked some questions, learned that some- thing had happened to the grape market and sold his crop for $5000 cash ON THE VINES. Since then he has received $5000 to $6500 net, annually for grapes on those six acres! That is at. the rate of $1000 the acre ON THE. VINES. No worry, no haggling for a buyer—no nothing —only just cash in your fist, that’s all. The experience of the Solano man has been duplicated, varying only in degree, on 3600 vineyards from Chico to San Dicgo along the central val- years, since Mr. Volstead got his law passed by Congress. Ten thousand wine grape growers have been made rich by prohibition and 10,000 more are planting every available acre of wine grape land in the hope of still greater returns in Where It Goes Hurrah for prohibition, say they. In the good old wet days, the winery trust would growl and kick and maybe give. ’em $7 to $20 a ton for their grapes. Today the buyers fight for first place at $100 to $125 flat ON THE VINES and no questions asked.

It's a great life if you don’t weaken. ‘There isn’t so awfully much good wine grape land in America and what there is is mostly in the central valleys of California, And this is the reason why the wine grape growers of California unanimously declare that “prohibi- tion” is a grand thing for the coun- try, and they hope it will never be repealed.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1922 y AA&MILNE .@ 1622 & P Dutton Company (Continued From Our Last Issue) “The annopneement at breakfast went well. After the golfing-party had gone off, we had the morning in which to complete our arrangements. What I was chiefly concerned about was to establish as completely as possible the identity of Robert. lor this reason I suggested to Mark that when dressed, he should go out by the secret passage to the bowling- green, and come back by the drive, taking care to enter into conversa- ton with the lodge-keeper. “In this way 1 would have two more witnesses of Robert’s arrival— Girst_the lodge-kecper, and secondly one of the gardeners whom I would have working on the front lawn. “ark, of course, was willing enough. He could practice his Australian ac- cent on the lodge-keeper. It was really amusing to see how readily he fell into every suggestion which t made. Never was a killing more carefully planned by its victim. “fe changed into Robert’s clothes ‘n the office bedroom. This was the safest way—for both of us. When he was ready, he called me in, and 1 inspected him. It was extraordinary how well he looked the part. I sup- pose that the signs of his dissipa- tion had already marked themselves on his face, but had been concealed hitherto by his mustache and beard; for now that he was clean-shaven they lay open to the world from which we had so carefully hidden them, and he was indeed the wastrel which he was pretending to be. “‘Wonderful, I said to myself Nobody could possibly guess.’ ‘I peered into the hall. It was We hurried across to the library; he got into the passage and made off. I went back to the bed- room, collected all his discarded clothes, did them up in a bundle and returned with them to the passage. Then I sat down in the hall and waited. “You heard the evidence of Stevens, the maid, As soon as she was on her way to the Temple in search of Mark, I stepped into the office. My hand was in my side- pocket, and in my hand was the re- volver, “He began at once on his character of Kobert—some rigmarole about working his passage over from Aus- tralia; a little private performance for my edification. Then in. his natural voice, gloating over his well- planned retaliation on Miss Norris, he burst out, ‘It’s my’ turn now. You wait’ It was this which Elsie heard. She had no business to be there and she might have ruined everything, but as it turned out it was the lucki- est thing which could have hap- pened. For it was the one piece of evidence which I wanted; evidence, other than -my- own, that Mark and Robert were in the room together. 1 said nothing. I was not going to take the risk of being heard to speak in that room. I just smiled at the poor little fool, and took out my revolver, and shot him. Then 1 went back into ‘the libray and waited —just as I said in my evi- dence, “Can you imagine, Mr. Gilling- ham, the shock which your sudden appearance gave me? Can you imagine the feelings of a ‘murderer’ who has (as he thinks) planned for every possibility, and is then con- fronted suddenly with an_ utterly problem? What difference know. Perhaps none; perhaps all. And I had forgotten to open the win- dow! ‘ “{ don’t know whether. you will think my plan for killing Mark a clever one. Perhaps not. But if t do deserve any praise in the matter, I think I deserve it for the way 1 pulled myself together in the face of the unexpected catastrophe of your arrival. Yes, I got a window open, Mr. Gillingham, under your very nose; the right window too, you were kind enough to say. And the keys~-yes, that was clever of you, but I think I was cleverer. “I deceived you over the keys, Mr. Gillingham, as I learnt when I took the hberty of listening to a con- versation on the bowling-green be- tween you and yoar ‘friend Beverely. Where was I? Ah, you must have a lock fer that secret passage, Mr. Gil- lingham. : “But what am I saying? Did 1 deceive you at all? You have found out the secret—that Robert was Mark—and that is all that matters. Tow have you found out? I shall Where did I go wrong? Perhaps you have been de- ceiving me all the time.

I might have’ left them in | the passage, but the secret of the | | | | passage was now out. Miss Norris knew it. That was the weak point of my plan, perhaps, that Miss Nor- ris had to knowit. So I hid them in the pond, the inspector having oblig- ingly dragged it for me first. A cquple of keys joined them, but 1 kept the revolver. Fortunate, wasn’t it, Mr. Gillingham. “Goodby, Mr., Gill.ngham. I'm sorry that your stay with us was not of a pleasanter nature, but you understand the difficulties in which I was placed. Don’t let Bill think too badly of me. He is a good fel- low; look after him. He will be sur- ised. The young are always sur- prised. And thank you for letting me end my own way. I expect you did sympathize a little, you know. We might have been friends in an- other world—you and I, and I’and she. Tellsher what you like. Every- thing or nothing, You will know what is best. Goodby, Mr. Gilling- ham. “MATTHEW CAYLEY. “T am. lonely tonight without Mark. That's funny, isn’t it?” CHAPTER XXI “Good Lord!” said Bill, as he put |' Knowh all over the Northwest for Quality “What did you write to him? Was that last night? After I'd gone into Stanton’?” “Yes.” “What did you say? That you'd discovered that Mark wa3 Robert?” “Yes, At least I said that this morning I should probably telegraph to. Mr. Cartwright of Wimpole Street, and ask him to identify the body.” Bill nodded thoughtfuly and went back again to the letter. “I see. And you told you were telegraphing, dentist?” “Yes, And then of course it was all up for him. Once we knew that Robert was Mark we knew every- thing.” “How did you know?” Antony got up from the breakfast table and began to fill his pipe. “Well, let’s see if I can go through my own mind again, and tell you how I guessed it. First of all, the clothes.” “Yes,” “To Cayley the clothes seemed an enormously important clue. 1 felt certain that, in that case, the ab- sence of the collar was unintentional. In colecting the clothes he had overlooked the collar. Why? “Tt was the one in the basket?” “Yes, It seemed probable. Why had Cayley put it there? The ob- vious answer was that he hadn't. Mark had put it there.” “Go on,” said Bill eagerly. “Well, why had Mark changed down there instead of in his bed~ room? The only answer. was that the fact of his changing had to be kept secret.” When’ did he change? The only possible time was between lunch (when he would be seen by the servants) and the moment of Robert’s arrival. And when did Cay- ley collect the clothes in a bundle? Again, the only answer, was ‘Before Robert’s arrival.’ So another x was wanted —to fit those three condi- tions.” “And the answer was that a mur- der was intended, even before Robert arrived 2” “Yes, Well now, it wasn’t possible a murder could be intended without any more preparation than the changing into a different suit in which to escape. The thing was too childish. Also, if Robert was to be murdered, why go out of the way to announce his existence to you all? 1 began to feel now that Robert was an incident only; that the plot was a plot of Cayley’s against Mark — either to get him to kill his borther, or to get his brother to kill him — and that for some inexplicable rea- son Mark seemed to be lending him- self to the plot.” He was silent for a little, and then said, almost to himself, “I had seen the empty brandy bottles in that cupboard.” “You never said anything about them,” complained Bill. “{ only saw them afterward. 1 was looking for the collar, you re- down the letter. ley that Mark’s to linen- member. They \-came back to me afterward; I knew how Cayley would feel about it.... Poor devil!” “Geo on,” said Bill. “Well, then, we had the inquest, and of course I noticed the curious fact that Robert had asked his way at the second lodge and not at the first, So I talked to Amos and Pare sons. That made it more curious. Amos told me that Robert had gone out of his way to speak to him. “Parsons told me that his wife was out in their little garden at the first lodge all the afternoon, and was certain that Robert had never come past it. He also told me that Cay- ley had put him on to a job on the front lawn that afternoon, So 1 had another guess. Robert had used the secret passage—the passage which comes out into the park be- tween the first and second lodges. Robert, then, had been in the house; it was a put-up job between Robert and Cayley. But how could Robert be there without Mark knowing? Obviously, Mark knew too. What did it all mean?” “When, was this?” interrupted Bill. “Just after the inquest—after you’d seen Amos and Parsons, of course? gs “Yes, I got up and left them, and came to look for you. I'd got back to the clothes then. Why did Mark change his clothes so secretly? Dis- guise? But then what about his face That was much more im- portant than clothes. His face, his beard —he’d have to shave off his beard—and then—oh, idiot! 1 saw yor looking at that poster. Mark acting, Mark made-up, Mark dis- guised. Oh, priceless idiot! Mark was Robert . ... Matches, please.” “Yes,” said Bill thoughtfully. “Yes . . But wait a moment. What about the ‘Plough and Horses’?” ‘Antony looked comically at him. “You'll never forgive me, Bill,” he said. “What do you mean?” Antony sighed. “Tt was'a fake, Watson. I wanted you out of the way. I wanted to be alone. So—” he smiled and added, “Well, I knew you wanted a drink.” THE END BUSINESS CHANGE Chicago, Aug. 30.—Announcement was made today that Lamson Bros. and Company, board of trade brokers, had acquired the entire busi good will of E.
