By EDMUND CLERIHEW BENTLEY "Copyright, 1111, by CHAPTER VI. V Manderson's Family Infelicities "He said, 'See here,, Cupples, you don't want to butt in. My wife can look after herself. I've found that out, along with other things.' He was 'perfectly quiet you know he was said never to lose control of of himself though there was a light in his eyes that would have frightened, man who was in the wrong, I dare say. But I had been thoroughly aroused by his last re mark, and the tone of it, which I cannot reproduce. You see," said Mr. Cupples simply, "I Jove my niece. She is the only child that there has been in our in my house. Moreover, my wife brought her up as a girl, and any reflection on Mabel I could not help feeling, in the heat of the moment, as an indirect reflection upon one who is gone." "You turned upon him," suggested Trent in a low tone. "You asked him to explain his words." "That is precisely what I did," said Mr. Cupples. "For a moment he only stared at me, and I could see a vein on his forehead swelling an unpleasant sight. Then he said quite quietly: 'This thing has gone far enough, I guess,' and turned to go. "Did he mean your interview?" Trent asked thoughtfully. "From the words alone you would think so," Mr. Cupples answered. "But the way in which he uttered them gave me a strange and very apprehensive feeling. I received the impression that the man had formed some sinister resolve. But I regret to say I had lost the power of dispassionate thought. I fell into ra great rage Mr. Cupples tone was mildly apologetic "and said a number of foolish things. I reminded him that the law allowed a measure of freedom to wives who received intolerable1 treatment. I . made some utterly irrelevant references to his public record, and expressed the view that such men as he were unfit to live. I said these things, and others as ill-considered, under- the eyes, and very possibly within ear shot, of half a dozen persons sitting on the veranda. I noticed them, in spite of my agitation, looking at me as I walked up to the hotel again after relieving my mind for it un doubtedly did relieve it," sighed Mr. Cupples, 'lying back in his chair. , "And Manderson? Did he say no more?" "Not a word. He listened to me with his eyes on my face, as quiet as before. When I stopped he smiled very lightly, and at once turned away and strolled through the gate, making for White Gables." And this happened ? "On the Sunday morning." "Then I suppose you never saw him alive again?" - "No," said Mr. Cupples. "Or rather, yes once. It was later in the day, on the golf course. But I did not speak to him. And next morning he was found dead." The two regarded each other in silence for a few moments. A party oV guests who had been bathing came up the steps and seated them selves, with much chattering, at a table near them. The waiter ap proached. Mr. Cupples rose, and taking Trent's arm led him to a long tennis lawn at the side of the hotel. "I have a reason for telling vou all this," began Mr. Cupples as they paced slowly up and down. "Trust you for that," rejoined Trent, carefully filling his pipe again. He lit it, smoked a little and then said: "I'll try and guess what your reason is, if you like." Mr. Cupples' face of solemnity relaxed into a slight smile. He said nothing. "You thought it possible," said Trent meditatively, "may I say you thought it practically certain? that I should find out for myself that there had been something deeper than a mere conjugal tiff between the Mandersons. You thought that my unwholesome imagination would begin at once to play with the idea of Mrs. Manderson having something to do with the crime. Rather than that I should lose my self in barren speculations about this, you decided to tell me ex actly how matters stood, and inci dentally to impress upon me, who know how excellent your judgment is, your opinion of your' niece. Is that about right?" "It is perfectly right. Listen to me, my dear fellow," said Mr. Cupples earnestly, laying his hand on the other's arm. "I am going to be very frank.. I am extremely glad that Manderson is dead. I believe him to have done nothing but harm in he world as an economic factor, know that he was making a desert of the life of one who was like my own child to me. But I am under an intolerable dread of Mabel being involved in suspicion with regard to the murder. It is horrible to me to think of her delicacy and good ness being in contact, if only for a time, with the brutalities of the law. She is not fitted for it.

I have observed a sort of imitative hardness about the products of the higher education of women today which would carry them through anything, perhaps. I am not prepared to say it is a bad thing in the conditions of feminine life prevailing at pres ent Mabel, however, is not like I that. She is as unlike that as she is unlike the' simpering misses that used to surround me as a child. She has plenty of brains; she is full of character; her mind and her tastes are cultivated; but it is all mixed up" Mr Cupples waved his hands in a vague gesture "with ideals of refinement and reservation and wo manly mystery. I fear she is not a child of the age. You never knew mv wife, Trent. Mable is my wife's child." The younger man bowed his head. They paced the Iength"of the lawn before he asked gently: "Why did she fharry him?" "I don't know," said Mr. Cupples briefly. "Admired him, I suppose," sug gested Trent Mr. Cupples shrugged his shoul ders. "I have been told that a wo man will usually be more or less at tracted by the most successful man in her circle. Of course we cannot realize haw a wilful, dominating personality like his would influence a girl whose affections were not be stowed elsewhere; especially if h laid himself out to win her. It is probably an overwhelming thing to be courted by a man whose name is known all over the world. She had heard of him, of course, as a financial great power, and she had no idea she had lived mostly among people of artistic or literary propensities how much soulless in humanity that might involve. For all I know, she has no adequate idea of it to this day. When I first heard of the affair the mischief was done, and I knew better than to in terpose my unsought opinions. She was of age, and there was absolutely nothing against him from the con ventional point of view. Then I dare say his immense wealth would cast a spell over almost any woman. Mabel had some hundreds a year of her own: just enough, oerhaos. to let her realize what millions really meant. But all this is conjecture. She certainly had not wanted to marry some scores of young fel lows who, to my knowledge, had asked her; ahd though I don't be lieve, and never did believe, that she really loved this man of 45, she certainly did want to marry him. But if you ask me why, I can only say I don't know." Trent nodded, and after a few more paces -looked at his watch. "You've interested me so much," he said, "that I had quite forgotten my main business. I mustn't waste my morning. I am going down the road to White Gables at once, and I dare say I shall be poking about there until midday. If you can meet me then, Cupples, I should like to talk over anything I find out with you, unless something detains me." "I am going for a walk this morn ing," Mr. Cupples repied. "I mean to have luncheon1 at a little inn near the golf course, the Three Elms. You had better join me there. It's further along the road, about a quar ter of a mile beyond White Gables You can just see the roof between those two trees. The food they give one there is very plain, but good." "So long as they have a cask of beer," said Trend, "they are all right We will have bread and cheese, and oh, may Heaven our Doctor Tells How to Detect Harmful Effects af Tobacco Try These SIMPLE TESTS New York: Doctor Connor, formerly of Johns Hopkins hospital, says: Many men who smoke, ehew or snuff incessant ly and who are seemingly healthy are suffering from progressive organic ail ments. Thousands of them would never have been afflicted had it not been for the us of tobacco, and thousands would soon get well if they would only stop the use -.f tobacco. The chief habit forming prin ciple of tobacco is nicotine, a deadly poi son which, when absorbed by the system slowly affect the nerves, membranes, tis sues and vital organ of the body. The harmful affect of tobacco varies and de pends on circumstance. One will be afflicted with general debility, other with catarrh of the throat. Indigestion, con stipation, extreme nervousness, sleepless ness, loss of memory, lack of will power, mental confusion, etc. Others may suffer from heart disease, bronchial trouble, hardening of the arteries, tuberculosis, blindness or even eaneer or the common affliction knows aa tobacco heart.

I was big enough, however, to see the just ice of of her standpoint. It was her duty, her pnvlege to protect the man she loved from the crazed maneuvers of his wife. But while 1 was perfecly willing to keep her even to a point involving personal danger, 1 felt that I must refuse this thing she had asked, nay com manded me to do. "We probably are risking a scene anyway," I said practically. "But you must decide quickly. I will go down to the office on some plausible pretext, or 1 will stay here." "Oh, go down by all means and at once," she said, and I saw that she was having difficulty in controlling her emotions. Why Madge Hesitated I was not particularly calm my self, but fortunately my "single track mind," as Dicky terms it, enables me generally to put aside from my thoughts everything save the particular task which is engross ing me. So without any more words I turned and went quickly down the staircase to the door of the principal's office, which was closed, contrary to the usual custom of the school. I debated for a moment whether or not I should knock on that closed door. Then my common sense asserted itself, and told me that Mrs. Stockbridge was the real intruder, and that either Miss Hol combe or I, as the principal's assist ants, hadxthe light to enter the office in his absence at will. But my fingers were trembling as I turned the knob and swung back the door. Milly Stockbridge did not see or hear me, and my tramed eyes had time to observe the setting in which her absorbed fingers were framed. She was sitting at her husband s private desk, and the drawers which he had always kept locked were wide open. A key, one of a bunch on a key ring, was inserted in the lock of the top one, while the princial's simple lives prevent from luxury s contagion, weak and vilel Till then, goodby." He strode off to recover his hat from the veranda, waved it to Mr. Cupples, and was gone. The old gentleman, seating himself in a desk chair on the lawn, clasped his hands behind his head and gazed up into the speckless blue sky. "Ha s a dear fellow, he murmured, ihe best of fellows. And a terribly cute fellow. Dear met How curious it all is!" (Continued Tomorrow.) Build Yourself Up. A daily ration GrapeNuts will help. . AfonderfulFood for Sturdy Strength! then stop. If you find that you are out of breath, your heart beat ia forced. tremblinK or irregular, you may be victim of functional or organic heart trouble. If you feel that you must smoke, ehew or snuff to quiet your nerves, you are a slave to the tobacco habit, and are positively poisoning yourself with the deadly drug, nicotine. In either ease you have just two alternatives -keep on with the self-poisoning process irrespective of the danger and suffer the consequences. or give up the habit and escape tne aan Bers. You can overcome the ' craving and atop the habit in a very short time by using the following inexpensive formula.

Her husband, .upon receiving the sum mons to the neighboring village, must have forgotton to change the keys with his coat, little thinking that his wife would disobey the mandate which had kept her from the office for so long. In her hand she held a large envelope on which was printed a caption in large letters. "Not to be op ath." Milly Stock bridge's hand screened the other letters, but I completed the sen tence in my mind, "Not to be opened until my death," knew that her vandal fingers were tearing out from the insensate paper the heart secrets of the man whose life she had made one living hell.

I Coal cannot be produced and held in huge quantities awaiting the con venience of buyers. It must be moved from the mines as fast as produced" and kept moving until it finally reaches the consumer. During the past two years we have been confronted with a coal shortage. In 1917 it embarrassed our conduct of the war, shut dowm factories, left cities in darkness, shortened the working hours of public utilities and caused great suffering in many homes. In 1918, in response to government appeal, consumers bought their, coal during the summer months, and as a result of their action and the superhuman effort on the part of operators and miners, the greatest pro duction in the history of the country was achieved-namely 585,000,000 V tons. Thus a shortage was averted. In 1919-the present year-we face this situation: - " 1 Requirements for the year (Govt, estimate) 530,000,000 tons (55 million tons less than 19(18) Stocks on hand January 1 30,000,000. tons , Coal production required for 1919. ., 500,000,000 tons - - Coal produced January 1 to June 14, 1919 195,000,000 tons Quantity to be produced during remaining 28 weeks 305,000,000 tons Average weekly production first 24 weeks 8,125,000 tons Average tonnage which must be produced weekly during com ing 28 weeks. 10,900,000 tons .
