BY EUCALYPTUS GROVE Wrong Kind of Trees Selected by Bogota to Plant Around City Well. BOGOTA (#).—A stately grove of trees, planted to insure this city's water supply, has caused a water crisis. Several years ago a well capable of supplying & steady 12-inch flow of water was bored. Some one in author- ity had heard that trees would conserve riinfall and ‘assist the well. So the city planted trees all around the well. Unfortunately, however, the trees selected were eucalyptus, and eucalyptus trees, it was discovered, absorb twice their weight in water daily. Now the trees have reached an ave- rage size of 11 tops and each one takes about 22 tons of water daily from what was intended as Bogotas main water supply. A new water works project, to cost, $4,000,000, is contemplated. Scenery Sunday Feature. To boost its scenery and also give city employes a holiday, Windermere, England, has decided that all municipai tennis courts, putting greens and_golf courses be closed on Sunday. Those in favor of sports on Sunday afternoons said that records showed that the clergy- men and residents of Windermere used to watch foot ball being played after church on Sunday, but the city council decided that visitors should go to Win- dermere for scenery and solitude. o B e EDUCATIONAL.

Van Dine, THE STORY THUS PAR It is doubtful if Philo Vance, althoush endowed with a fine analytical mind and & remarkable flair for the subtieties of human psycholoky, could have solved the bizarre murder of Beniamin H. Kyle un- less he had_been the first observer on the scene. Carefully he noted the maze of topsy-turvy clues, before the arrival of the police, after Donald Scarlett had stumbled upon the body in the private museum in East Twentieth street, fach Gramercy Park. maintained by Dr. Mi W. C. Bliss. famou arleit. & = well-to- , about 40, who had been a college mate of Vance ai Oxford. was o stunned by his discovery of Kyle's body, the head ter- ribly battered and a heavy Esyptian statue lying over it, that he hurried to Vance for advice. By phone. Vance re- ported the crime to his friend, District Attormey John F. X. Markham, INSTALLMENT IIL ANCE replaced the reeeiver on the bracket and again settled back in_his chair. “The district attorney will be | along anon” he announced, “and we’ll probably have time for a few observations before the police arrive.” His eyes shifted dreamily to Scarlett. “Yes .. ...

" (I knew - by his expression .that his mind | was contemplating—not without a cer- | tain degree of anticipatory interest—a | new criminal problem.) “So, the front door was ajar, eh. And when you called out no one answered.” Scarlett nodded but made no audible reply. He was obviously puzzied by Vance's casual reception of his appalling recital. “Where were the servants? Couldn't they have heard you call?” “Not likely. They're in the other side of the house—down stairs. The only person who could have heard me was Dr. Bliss—provided he’'d been in his study.” “You could have rung the front door bell, or summoned some one from the | main hall,” Vance suggested. Scarlett shifted in his chair uneasily. “Quite true,” he admitted. “But— dash it all, old man!—I was in a funk. . ‘ Yes, yes—of course. Most natural. Prima-facte evidence and all that, Very suspicious, eb what? Still, you had no reason for wanting the old codger out of the way, had you?" “Oh, my God, no!" Scarlett went pale. “He footed the bills. Without his support the Bliss excavations and the | museum itself would go by the board.” Vance nodded. \ “Bliss told me of the situation when | I was in t.- . . . Didn't Kyle own the property in which the museum | 1s situated? “Yes—both houses. You see, there are two of 'em, Bliss and his family and young Saiveter—Kyle's nephew— live in one, and the museum occuples the other. Two doors have been cut through, and the museum house en- trance has been bricked up. So it's practically one establishment.” “And where did Kyle live?" “In the brownstone house next to the museum. He owned a block of six or seven joining houses along the slr‘e,et." ance rose and walked meditativel; to the window. y “Do you know how Kyle became in- terested in Egyptology?

He was one of the bidders for the Blue Boy. Luckily for him, he didn’t get it.” “It was young Salveter who wangled his uncle into financing”Bliss.

A bright boy—lives and eats Egyptology.” Vance returned to the table and rang for Curtie. “The situation has possibilities,” he remarked, in hfs habftual drawl. . . . “By the way, what other members of the Bliss menage are there?” “There's Mrs. Bliss—you met her in Cairo—a strange girl, half Egyptian, much younger than Bliss,. And then there’s Hanl, ‘an Egyptian, whom Bliss brought back with him—or, rather, whom Mrs, Bliss brought back. with her. Hani was an old deperident of Meryt's father.” . “Meryt Scarlett blinked and, looked 11 at T meant Mrs. Blis2," he explained. “Her given name. is Meryt-Amen.

He was at- tached to the Bliss expedition this Spring in some minor capacity as a rep- resentative of the Egyptian goverpment. He's a sort of high-class ‘hendy man about the museum.

And, Currie—the Amontillado first.’ “Yes, sir.” Currie received the news as if mur- ders were: every-day events in his life, and ‘went out. “Do you know any reason, Scarlett,” Vance asked, “why Kyle should have been put out of the way?" The other hesitated almost imper- ceptibly. “Can't imagine,” he said, knitting his brows, “He was a kindly, generous old fellow=—pompous and rather vain, but :]l:’:’gle;‘liya l!kllbl'; mrmzhm" hlcqualtned priva e, though, He ma have had enemlies.” . . . v “Stll,”, suzgflufl Vance, “it’s not ex- actly ¥ that an enemy would. have followed “him ‘to the museum and wreaked vengeance on him in a strdnge fl'vf" when any one might have walked 2Bot o ane o T that you are not im| at an; one in the house—" o e “My dear fellow!” Currié entered the room at this mo- | ment with the sherry, and Vance poured out, three glasses. When we had drunk the wine he excused himself to dress. Scarlett paced up and down restlessly during the quarter of an hour Vance was absent. He had discarded his cigarette and lightéd an old briar pipe which had a most atroclous smell. ‘Almost af. the moment when. Vance returned to the library an automobile horn sounded raucously outside. Mark- ham was beldw waiting for us. . As we walked toward the door Vance asked Scarlett: “Was it eustom'ry for Kyle to be in the museum at this hour of the morn- ing?" ‘ “No, most unusual. But Dr.. Bliss had made an appointment with him for this morring to discuss the expendi- tures of the last expedition and the | possibilities of continuing the excava- tions next season.” “You knew of this appointment?” Vance asked indifferently. “Oh, yes. Dr. Bliss called him by phone last night during the conference, when we were assembling the report.” “Well, w Vance passed out into the hall. . “So there were others’ who also knew that Kyle would be at the museum: this morning.” Scarlett halted and looked startled. “Really, you're not intimating——" he began. “Who heard the appointment made?" xar‘l::e was already descending the stairs. Scarlett followed "him with puzzled, downcast eyes. . “Well, let me see, . . . There was Salveter, and Hani, and ., . .” “Pray, don't hesitate.” ‘And Mrs. Bliss.” . “Every one in the household, then, but Brush and Dingle?” “Yes. . . . But see here, Vance; the appointment was for 11 o'clock, and the poor old duffer was done in before half-past 10.” 8 J “That’s most inveiglin’,” Vance mur- mured. (Friday, July 13, 11:30 Markham greeted Vance wit! look of sour reproach. “What's the meaning of. this?”” he de- manded tartly. “I was in the midst of an important committee meeting——" “The meaning s still to .be .ascer- tained,” Vance interrupted lightly, step- ping into the car. “The cause of your ungracious presence, however, is a most fascinatin’ murder.” Markham shot him a shrewd look, and gave orders to the chauffeur to drive with all possible haste to the Bliss Mu- seum. He recognized the symptoms of Vance's perturbation: a frivolous out- ward attitude on Vance’s part was al- ways indicative of an inner seriousness. Markham and he bad been friends for 15 years, and Vance had aided him in many of his investigations. In fact, he had come to depend on Vance's assist- ance in the more complicated criminal cases that came under his jurisdiction. It would be difficult to find two men so diametrically oppesed to each other temperamentally. Markham was stern, aggressive, straightforward, grave, and a trifle ponderous. Vance was debonair, whimsical, and superficially cynical—an amateur of the arts, and-with wholly an impersonal concern in ‘serious social and moral problems. But this very dis- parateness in their natures scemed to bind them together. (To be continued.) —_——— Longest Taxi Run_ Opened.
