(Continued from Yesterday.)
l ome in, Mrs. I’eyton,” Lock
u.,od went on. "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

she gave him, nor did he realize how
much effect his words had on her
subsequent behavior. 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."

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

for all the blessings with which Thou
hast crowned our lives.
Grant especially that this day we

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.

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.

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

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

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.
