Jn England, where wood is scarce, esparto grass is largely used, being imported from South Africa and Spain. Many kinds of straw are suit- able for the papermaker’s purposes, and the Germans and French sub- sttiute oat, wheat, rye and barley straw for wood pulp. Tho first step in the actual produo- tion of paper begins with an opera- tion called “beating,” which consists in reducing the fibres of the pulp to desired lengths and to a consistency that will enable these fibi to ab- sorb sufficient water for the felting process, which is carried out on a wire cloth, This wire cloth runs in an endless 1 CAN'T HELP IT IF THE The pulp flows upon the wire, which press rolls and hot cylinders until thoroughly dry, Then other cylinders Process.

And yet now and”then I must admit that unaccountable things happen, The strange series of events which I am about to relate began with one of these very unaccountable occurrences, T recall having left the Star offlce one afternoon with @ distinct impres- sion that when I arrived at our apartment I should find Kennedy engaged on a new case, I even knew the case, and felt that I knew where he was at the time, Indeed, I could have gone to him at once if I had the courage of my convictions, But I am not one to yield to suoh impressions, Of course, it may have been pure chance—perhaps it was, I had been reading of a tragedy in the news reports all day, but there was not a thing about it to suggest Kennedy more than in a dozen other previous equally Pact Sot th ie ond she moet deep mysteries in which it had never occurred to me to have a premonition, rules that apply to all, The first of] Set it down as chance, then. these is always to get as good ma- Yet the impression, whatever its cause, proved to be a fitting beginning terial possible, By this I do not] to the startling events that fotlowed.

They turned, and O'Connor nodded to me. “But how did you get into itt’ I asked as Craig hennedy motioned me to w chair by the table at which they were seated. Craig hesitated, and looked at me rather dubiously, Then, in spite of the nature of the sur- roundings, his face broke into a smile, “Water,” be began, “I bope you won't think me crazy, but 1 know that ‘ou will not pe able to understand, The moment I read of this case this afternoon I felt an irresivtible im- pulse to take it up.

But she did not throw herself there originally, nor was she thrown there living,” “Only careful tests will show what thoPreal cayse of death was,” put in Kennedy. “The problem that ought to be settled by you, O'Connor, Je her identity, And you have no clue. “No,” answered O'Connor, somewhat vexed.
