With business improving, it’s ab time for a slick salesman to around and persuade some of our Kev West citizens that there is an easy, quick way to make a come fortune.

Holland, governor-elect, has said that he considers the completton of the Everglades National Park at the earliest possible moment to be of such vast~ im- portance to the state as a whole that he will do everything within the power o ernor’s office to accomplish the early com- pletion of the project.

There are at least 100 miilion decayed in the mouths of the 23 million school children, it is declared, the average of these erfect teeth ranging from four to six per ‘These are referred to as the “forgotten teeth” because neglect is complete until serious trouble develops in the court of time. “Some progress is being made among parent-teacher and other groups in the way of bringing enlightenment to mothers,” says the Institute, which stresses the importance of proper diet as strongly as it does the daily and professional care of teeth. Give the child codliver oil, orange juice, other fresh fruits and vegetables, and yvof milk and sunshine,” which comprises leading practic- s throughout the country. Such a diet will help keep teeth strong. It will not straighten malplaced teeth, nor make healthy those decayed, but it will help to »vevent decay in sound teeth. Of the two million babies born in the United States each year, not more than ten r cent are given care which will assure thy teeth in adult life. Oral neglect in Ihood usually is followed by similar neelect in adult years, until infection from eeth begins sapping vitality, sending poison ihrough the system and causing a variety of serious ailments from rheumatism to heart le Institute ng denti LIGHT AND SAFETY In recent years, about 30 per cent of the accidental deaths in the United States occurred in the supposed security of the home, according to a national safety or- lization. It has been found that a great many home accidents which result in death or serious disability are caused through lack of proper lighting. A house adequately lighted with con- venient fixtures and controlling switches affords protection against accident. The substitution of modern electric wiring for the out-moded variety may prevent fires. A ifficient number of electric outlets to care for dangling electric wires or those d equipment may offset the possibility dangerous falls.

The house is full of police investigating, and the family lawyer and his friend the coroner, who is blind, also have arrived. Lunch has been a touchy business, and now it has ended with Pob insisting he must get to town, Claire’s ob- jection to his leaving, and Eve’s stormy exit—throwing a taunt at Claire about Bob’s numerous uf- feirs over her shoulder. Chapter"29 Bill Guilty? As the dining room cleared, Mr. Marshall, who had lingered for a word with Bill, came for- ward to guide Mr. Dodson to the library. “Wait a moment,” I whispered to my husband, “there’s something I want to tell you.” “Wish somebody would tell Bob something,” he complained, di, ging for his cigarette case. “Seems| to me he ought to have sense enough to know this is not the time to try to drink up all the! liquor in sight.” “It’s all Eve's fault,” I excused. “But why should he let himself in for such things?” Bill grum- bled. “Why can’t he use a little sense?” “Everybody is not as direct as you are, darling,” I reminded him, as he glared at his empty cigarette case as though it, too, had failed in deportment suited to the gcca- sion. “There are plenty .of ciga- rettes in the library.”'I added, knowing that it would be like try- ing to hold a restive horse until he had had his smoke. “Well, just a moment. I'll be right back—” But he was not to be right back, for as I followed him to the li- brary door we both saw Roberts, who was waiting to tell Bill that Lieutenant Gregory wished to see him in the office. “Again?” asked Bill, in some surprise. “Thought I told him all I knew.” “It's about something that has come up since plete Roberts ex- plained smoothly. “All right,” Bill agreed, “but I} hate to keep everybody else wait- ing. You are sure we can’t go to town and finish all this tomor- row? None of us is going to run away, hes know.” “Per said Roberts, and something in his voice caused me to look at him| quickly, but his expression was unrevealing.” “You mean you've got some- thing?” asked Mr. Dodson, who had also caught that note of what might have been restrained ex- citement. “Suppose we go along to the other room,” Roberts suggested, leading the way, and Mr. Mar- shal], taking Mr. Dodsor by the arm, prepared to follow. “Can't I come, too?” | asked. “Let’s wait and see,” said Mr. Marshall, giving me a little pat on the shoulder. “Anyway. don’t worry. Everything is going to be + all right soon.’ Which, of course, is just what one would expect from a family friend and legal adviser. But it | made all the more astounding what He came back to tell me a little later. Just how much later it was I do not know, for the day, which at times seemed to fly, at others seemed to drag on leaden feet. Eve evidently had gone directly upstairs from the dining room. Claire had excused herself soon after we went into the library and, I think, had also started upstairs, but Bob, rising GuiCkly to his feet, had followed her from the room and must have persuaded her to | go into the drawing room.

And we walked down the hall toward the breakfast room, I was struck with the irony of Claire’s musica] selection, for the air was one familiar from my childhood. Perhaps she had only opened at random that bound collection of old sheet music, but she was play- ing “Sweet Memories Waltz,” which, aceording to the inscrip- tion penned thereon, had been presented to one of my feminine ancestors in 1857. Had Claire selected it in order to punish Bob? I wondered. Was she listening to his pleading as she played, her gray eyes now and then looking upward into his, or was she ignoring him by a pre- tended absorption in the yellowed sheet of music before her?” busy was my mind with such thoughts that I did not turn my attention to Mr. Marshal] until we had reached the breakfast room and he had closed the door, behind us. I looked up and saw that his face, with ine Fed setter eyes, was contorted as “No, my dear,” he answered. “They think Bill did it” I stared at him incredulously. “But that’s absurd,” I said. “Bill is the last person on earth who might have done such a thing.” m afraid thev have a oretty NOT SO GOOD CHICAGO—N.

It—it's impossible.” “Sit down, my dear,” said Mr. Marshall gently, “and let me get you a glass of water.” “No, no, I'm all right. I must go to Bill.” “But I’m not sure you can see whim yet,” Mr. Marshall protested uncomfortably. “They hadn’t fin- ished when I came gut, I—I want- ed to prepare you.” “But they are crazy,” I told him. “Bill didn’t do it. He couldn’t have. Oh, Mr. Marshall, you know Bill well enough to know it is im- possible.” “Yes, yes, my dear, of course. Now try to calm yourself. We'll take care of Bill. We'll get Wade Allen to defend him.” “But I am calm,” I insisted. “You—you know it can’t be as bad as all that.” Even I knew Wade Allen is considered the best criminal lawyer in the South. “No use taking any chances,” Mr. Marshall told me soothingly. “I am afraid you are going to | have to make up your mind that | all this is going to be pretty—dis- agreeable, and try to keep a stiff upper lip.” “All right,” I said, “but right now I’m going to see Bill.” “I don’t. know that you should try to just yet,” he objected, like an anxious mother hen, but I was {already knocking on the door.

STUART,” he said not unkindly, “it would be much better if you would wait until we {have finished our questioning. I did not know Mr. Marshall had gone out to see you or I should have objected.” I am afraid I rather lost my head at that, for I said, “This is my house and my husband. Lieu- tenant Gregory, may I pass?” He opened the door and stood }aside. “You are only making this harder for yourself,” he said. My eyes flew to Bill, sitting in | 2.chair by my grandfather's desk, his red hair tousled .nd his blue eyes full of a sort of belligerent | bewilderment. It was astonishing |how much more blue his left eye looked than the right, with its dark caused by the bruise. pa yw the expression on his fezce so well. It is always there | w Bill comes up against stu- pidity. He finds it so difficult to believe that people are not all as honest and decent and straightfor- | Te and intelligent as he is him- self. He came to his feet when he saw me and we met halfway across the room. “Oh, Bill,” I said, \as we gripped each other’s hands tightly, “this is so silly.” “Very silly,” he agreed through set teeth, “but I can’t seem to convince Lieutenant Gregory of | the fact.” I looked around that small, in- timate, friendly room which has stood for a hundred years of fam- ily security and gracious living. I looked at Lieutenant Gregory, waiting to resume his seat at my grandfather’s desk. And for a dreadful moment the room ceased to be a part of Wisteria Hall and became the close, cramped quar- ters of a storm-rocked boat, with great, an; ‘waves, dashing hun- grily against its sides. “Here, here,” said Bill quickly, “sit down.” And as I collapsed in i re you all right now?” “Oh, yes,” I assured him, trying soy, I asked in a voice that I somehow could not raise above a whisper, “You don’t believe any of this foolishness, do you?” | » tWhat do you mean,-feolish- negs?” Lieutenant Gregory inter- rupted grimly. “Don’t upset yourself too much, Mrs. Stuart,” said Mr. Dodson, and his calm, kind voice steadied me immediately. “You never can tell from the way a case starts out just how it will end.” “But what's it all about?” I de- manded. “Why does anybod think Bill did this terrible thing?” “Andrew,” said Bill testily. “Something .Andrew thinks he overheard, just before you went | out to the back passage and found Aunt Maggie.” “Andrew?” I repeated stupidly. “I questioned your butler as he served our lunch,” Lieutenant Gregory explained. “At first he denied knowing anything at all re- motely connected with the mur- der.
