"You must see him, though it will shuck you. See, the flow of Mood is dreadful. lie stabbed or shot himself.” Gunquering her aversion to the sight., Mrs. I’eyton, from a sense of duty, drew nearer, and as Lockwood had said, the condition of the body was terrible indeed. Wounded, apparently in the side of tho head. Waring had fallen for ward in such a way that the actual wound was concealed, but the fact was only too apparent that he had Med to death. The blotter on the desk ami many of the furnishings were crimsoned and there was a large and dark stain on tho rug. "He is positively dead," paid Lock wood. In cool, even tone, ‘ so I ad vise that we do not touch the body but send ut once for Doctor Green field. He will know what best to do.” "Oh. you cold-blooded wretch!” Mrs. Peyton burst forth, uneontrol ably. “Have you no feelings whatso ever? You stand hero like a wooden image, when the best man in the world lira dead before you And you, Ito!'' She turned on the awe-struck butler. “You're another of those im passive, unnatural creatures! Oh, I hate ^ou both!” Tho housekeeper ran from the room, nnd was soon closeted with her daughter, who at least showed agitation and grief at the tragedy that had occurred. Tho two she had called impassive, stood regarding one another. “Who did it. master?" inquired the Japanese, calmly. "Who did it!” Lockwood started at him. "Why, he did it himself, Ito.” Otherwise immovable, the Oriental shook his head in dissension, but Lockwood was already at the tele phono and heeded him not. Doctor Greenfield consented to come over ut once, and Lockwood going to the living-room, advised I lie Peytons to have breakfast, as there was a ter rible ordeal ahead of them. ‘•I’ll have some coffee with you, it I may," he went. on. "Brace up, Helen, it's pretty awful for you, but you must try to bo a brave girl." A grateful glance thanked him for the kindness, and Lockwood returned qulelfly to the study. “What are you doing?” he said sternly, ns he saV Ito bending over the dead man. "Nothing, sir.” and the butler straightened up quickly and stood at attention. "Leave the room and do not return here without permission. Serve break fast to the ladies. Where is Nogi?” "Ho Is gone, sir." “Gone where?” “That Ido not know. Last night he was here. Now he Is gone. I imow no more.” “You don't know anything. Get out.” "Yes, sir.' Left to himself, Gordon Lockwood gazed thoughfully about the room. He did confine his attentloti to the bent figure of his late employer, nor even, to the desk or its nearby sur roundings. He wandered about look ing at the windows, the floor, the furniture. One chair, standing rather near the desk, he looked at intently. An ex pression of bewilderment .came into his face, followed by a look of dis may. Then, after a cautionus almost fur tive glance about him, he paused his hand quickly over the plush back of the chair, ruhhing it hard, with a scrubbing motion. Then he looked about the room even more eagerly and carefully, and fin ally sat down on the same plueh chair, to await the doctor’s arrival. Helen Peyton came timidly to the door to ask him to come to breakfast. “No, Helen,” he answered. "IVJy place is here until the doctor comes, Kat your breakfast, child, and try to throw off your distress. It will do you no good to brood over it. You can bo of real help if you keep brave and calm, but it will be 'quite other wise If you get hysterical.” He did not see the adoring glance - ' * Contents ISTluid Drachn pH plPSft® liteg&assgg HflJS [ tintiUieStomachs andBewyg Mi JSK& BL^wSr Ilf ““,SSSJsS^ 1 |:j6.

Nor Helen Pey ton was suffering from shocked nerves, and only Lockwood’te advice would have been heeded by her. She returned to the dining room, saying quietly, "Gordon will come af ter a while. Let us eat our break fast, mother, and try to be brave and strong.” It was not more than 15 minutes later that Lockwood joiner! them. He took his seat at the table and ns he shook out his breakfast napkin he said: "Doctor Greenleaf is there now. He says Doctor Waring was stabbed, not shot. He says the instrument was round and pointed—not flat, like a knife,” "Who did It?" asked Helen, wide eyed. "It must have been suicide, Helen, for, as you know, the room was lock ed. How could any one get in or out?” "But how absurd to think of Doc tor Waring killing himself!” The girl looked more amazed than ever. "He never killed himself,” stated Mrs. Peyton. "Why, you know that man had everything to live for! Just about to be married, just about to be president of the college—full of life end enthusiasm—suicide! Nonsense!” "I'm only telling you what the doc tor said. And you know yourselves, the room was all locked up.” “Yes, that's so. Ito, leave the room!” Mrs. Peyton spoke sharply to the butler, who was quite evidently drink ing in the conversation. “He must not hear all we say,” she observed after the butler had dis appeared. “What's this about Nogi being gone?” asked Lockwood, suddenly. “Yes, he's gone,” Mrs. Peyton said, "and 1 can’t undrestand it. I didn't think he'd stay, he didn't like the duties at all—you know he’s just learning to he a bntler—but queer he went off like that. His wages are due for three weeks.” "He’ll be back then." surmised Lockwood, “Now, what shall we do first? The faculty must be notified of this tragedy and also, Mrs. Bates must be told. Which of you two will go and tell Mrs. Bates about it?" "You go, Helen,” said her mother j after a moment's thought. "I ought I to be here to look after the house, ! and anyway, dear, you can do it wise ly and gently. Mrs. Bates likes you, and after all, it can he soon told.” “Oh. I can’t!” cried Helen, dismayed at the thought of the awful errand. "Yes, you can,” and Lockwood look ed at her with a firm kindness. "You waht to be of help, don't you Helen? Well, here’s one thing you can do that will be of great assistance to your mother and to me. For on us two must fall most of the cad duties of this day.” "But what can I say? What can I tell her?" "Just tell her the facts as far as you know them yourself. She will guess from your own agitation that something has happened. And then you will tell her, as gently as you can. Be a true woman, Helen, and remem ber that though your rews must break her heart, yet she'd far rather hear it from you than from some less sympathetic messenger.” 1 11 do it,” said Helen, struggling bravely to keep her tears bark. "That's a good girl. Run right along, now, for ill news flies fast, and rumors may ppt to her beforp you reach thpre.” "Now about that Nogl,” Lockwood said, thoughtfully. "Call Ito back, please, Mrs. Peyton.” "W’hen did you see Nogl last?” the secretary asked of the butler. “Wrhen I come home last night, sir. Sunday is my holiday. I returned about ten, and as I found Nogl with his duties all properly done, and at his post, I went to bed. I found this morning that he had not been in his bed at all. His clothes are gone, and all his belongings. I think he will not come back.” An Incredible Case. When Lockwood returned to the study, he found the medical examiner and Doctor Greenfield in consultation. The examiner was a large, pom pous-looking man, with an air of au thority. He looked at Gordon Lock wood from beneath his heavy brows, and demanded, "What do you know of this?" The younger man resented the tom but he knew the question was justi fied, and so he replied, respectfully: "Nothing more than you can see for yourself, sir. I broke In at that glass door, being unable to get in any other way, and I found Doctor War ing—as you see him now." "There was some other way. though, to get In and out,” Examiner Marsh | stated. “Positively not,” Eockwood re i pea ted. "Don't contradict me! I tell you there must have been—for this man was murdered.” "Impossible, sir,” and Lockwood's eyes met the examiner's with a gaze fully as calm and Insistent as hie own. "Very well, how came he by his death?” "I am not the examiner,” the secre tary said, and lie folded his arms and leaned against the corner of the great mantelpiece: "But since you ask me, I will repeat that there was no way of ingress into this room last night, and [ that necessarily, the case is a suicide.” "Just so; and. granting that, will i you suggest what may have become of i the weapon that was used.” "What was the weapon?” "Lockwood i asked, not so disturbed by tile ques ! tion as the examiner had expected | him to be. "That'is what puzzles me." returned Doctor Marsh. "As you can clearly j see the wound was inflicted with a i stabbed just below his right ear. The jugular vein was pierced, and he bled j to death. A plexus of nerves was i Pierced also, and this fact doubtless rendered the victim unconscious at once—I mean rs soon as the stab wound was made, though he may have j have been alive for a few minutes j thereafter.” Gordon Lockwood gazed impertur bably at the speaker. He rad always prided himself on his unshakable calm, and now he exhibited Us full possi j bilities. It annoyed Doctor Marsh, |Who was accustomed to having his j •statements accepted without question, lie took a sudden dislike to this calm youqg man, who presumed to differ from his deductions. “I must say," observed the mild mannered Doctor Greenfield. "I knew Doctor Waring very well, and he was surely the last person I would expert to kill himself. Especially at the pres ent time—when he was looking for ward to high honors In the college and also expected to marry a charming lady." "That Isn't the point," exclaimed Doctor Marsh, Impatiently. "The point la, if he killed himself, where Is the wea pon?” "1 admit it isn't In view—and I admit that seems strange," Lockwood agreed, "but it may be discovered, while a way of getting Into the locked room cannot be found." "All of which Is out of your juris diction, young man," and Marsh look ed at him severely. "The police will be here soon, and I’ve no doubt they will learn the truth, whatever it may be. What instrument do you deduce, Doctor Greenfield?" "That's hard to say,” replied Green field, slowly. "You see the aperture It made Is a perfectly round hole. Now ! most daggers or poniards are flat bladed. I’m not sure a real weapon Is ever round. The hole Is much too large to have been made by a hatpin —it Is as big as a—a—” "Slate pencil," suggested the ex aminer. “Yes, or a trifle larger—but not so large as a lead pencil.” "A lead pencil could hardly accom plish the deed,” Marsh mused- "A slate pencil might have—but that Is a most unusual weapon." "HoW about a bill file?” asked Doc tor Greenfield. "I knew of a man killed with one."

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, the Giver of all good things unto Thy children, in Whom we live and move and have our being, Who hast brought us in safety to see the light of another day, we, Thy humble ser vants, offer Thee our heartfelt praises for Thy preservation of us through out all our lives, and especially through the hours of darkness, for rest and peace which we have en joyed, and for the opportunities of another day. We thank Thee for all Thy mercies to us, for homo and friends, for health and strength, and for all the blessings with which Thou hast crowned our lives. Grant especially that this day we may have grace in all our thoughts and words and deeds to glorify Thy Holy Marne, and to brighten the lives of those about us, and to help them to better things. Help us to do with our might whatsoever our hands may find to do for Thee and for our fellow men. Keep far from us all sin and evil, and, if it please Thee, deliver us from all sickness, sorrow and anxiety. Whatsoever Thou mayest have In store for us, grant at least that In all things we may be drawn nearer to Thee. We ask it all through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen. JAMES GOODWIN, D. D , Hartford, Conn. Common Too Much Talk In Bad—And Too Little! Mr. Husband or Mrs. Wife, do not make the mistake of becoming so en grossed in one subject that you con tinually talk that one thing to the ex clusion of all other subjects. No matter how Interested the hus band or wife may be In the affairs of the other constant talk on one subject Is going to become tiresome. None should cultivate a one-track variety of mind. But it is easy to get this slant If one permits the mind to concentrate too much on any one subject. Home Is the place where husband, wife and children should feel free and at liberty to discuss what most Inter ests them but there is a limit to the trend of thought and conversation even at home. It is a greater mistake, however, for neither husband nor wife to talk over their personal Interests together. It is unwise for either to get to the point where they must discuss and consult one outside the family to procure an intelligent listener or coun sellor. (Copyright, 1922.) Uncle Sam Says Bedbugs. The presence of bedbugs In a house j is not necessarily an Indication of neg lect or carelessness, for. aa little as the Idea may be relished, this insect ; may gain entrance In spite of the j adoption of all reasonable precau tions. It. is very apt to get Into the trunks and satchels of travelers or In to the baskets of laundry, and may thus be introduced into homes. The Federal Bureau of Fntomlogy's booklet on tills subject tells how to distinguish these pests by their odor and gives methods of controlling them. Readers of The Omaha Bee may obtain a copy of this booklet free as long as the free edition lasts, by ask ing for “F. B. 754,” addressing their request to the Division of Publica tions, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D, C. • Parents1 Problems How ran children best be taught I respect for old age? 1 think the first and best way In I which to teach children respect for | old ag<? is by example. Children re- j fleet their parents' manners so quick lv, and if parents are careful to treat 1 the other members of their own fam ilies with t lie respect due them the children will do the same. Trade Routes to Aid Middlewest George Carey of C. of C., Hack From Washington, Tells of U. S. Plans. George Carey of the Omaha Cham ber of Commerce, on his return from Washington yesterday, announced that an order issued by A. D. Lasker, chairman of the United States ship ping board, will keep southern trade routes open and lead to the opening of more such routes. Mr. Carey went to Washington as a representative of the Middlewest Merchant and Marine Foreign Trade commission, which favored the devel opment of southern trade routes as an aid to middlewestern producers and shippers, on the theory that the north Atlantic ports are too con gested. While in Washington he con ferred with President Harding, the United States shipping hoard and mid dlewest senators and representatives. Carey also announced that an amendment to the ships subsidy bill will be introduced this week provid ing for a 5 per cent rebate on all farm products shipped to foreign ports in United States vessels. The money is to he taken from the ships subsidy fund, and under the Smith Lever act, be distributed to agricultural col leges of the country by the Depart ment of agriculture.
