< A N E of the loveliest designs
you’ve ever seen for embroid­
ering on pillow’ case tubing, on a
guest bed sheet, on guest tow’els or
on luncheon cloths. Each straw­
berry is one inch in size, to be
done in red silk or cotton. Leaves
are l*k inches, outlined in green
thread—blossoms are in white
satin or outline stitch.
For boring sm all holes in plate
glass or ordinary window pane, a
triangular saw hie makes a good
d rill. Apply the file w ith light
pressure and dip in w’ater from
time to time.

Take your outmoded gauntlet or
your elaborately trim m ed glove
and cut it down to a wrist-length
shorty—this season's favorite.

Keep a pair of clean gloves n ear
your supply of hosiery during the
winter, and don them before put­
ting on hose. I t w ill saye many
snags caused from hands that are
roughened by cold weather.
Never starch linens that are to
be stored, since starch tends to
make the fabric crack. Wrap in
blue paper to prevent yellowing.

While domesticated horses and
ponies of mixed and minor strains
have been bred in nearly all coun­
tries for centuries, the 38 distinct
and best-known breeds in exist­
ence today originated in 13 coun­
tries.
Three of these countries de­
veloped 26 of these breeds: Great
B ritain 16, France 6, and the Unit­
ed States 4—the Standardbred,
the Morgan, the Mustang and the
American Saddle Horse.

"W ell, m aybe.” Tope agreed; but

but Bee Dewain for an audience to
witness his triumph over Tope. He
strode a little forward, and spoke
briskly.
"Come, Tope,” he said with a
mocking kindness, " I guess you’ve
gone as fa r as you can, haven’t you?
Maybe you've got at the truth, all
right; but Tope, it isn’t enough for
me to know the truth. I have to
be able to prove It. I have to get
something that will pass as evidence
in court.”
Tope looked at him thoughtfully.
"That's so, son." he agreed. "You
do have to try the case, don’t you?"
Joe nodded. “So while you've been
reading dream-books, and telling
fortunes by the cards," he derisive­
ly explained, "1’ve been collecting
a few facts—just plain facts. And.
of course, one particular fact! One
good fact that can’t be shaken is all
we need, isn't it?”
Adam Bruce demanded: "Joe, do
you have to be a fool twice in one
day?”
But Tope touched Adam's arm .
hushed him. "Now, Adam.” he pro­
tested, "you let Joe set off his fire­
works! It wouldn't surprise me a
bit if he had something. Joe's a
stnart young m an.”
’ "Then he ought to know better—"
'Joe said resentfully: "Now. wait
a minute. Bruce!
After all. this
case is my job. This old man hasn’t
an ounce of evidence, but I have.
Ijc a n prove that Rufus Ledforge,
hfere. was in Little Bear that night,
F rid ay night,” he said exultantly.
¡"Rufus was. all right." Tope as­
sented. " I know that too.”
•"But you can't prove it?”
"Why, that depends! Maybe not!”
“ Well, I can," said Joe proudly.
"While you’ve been chasing will-o’-
tHe-wispS, I ’ve found a witness. I ’ve
got a man who heard Mrs Kell, in
the cottage that night, call Led­
forge here by name.”
To_e exclaimed:
"Well, if you
have, that’s something, sure!"
Dane laughed exultantly. "You
bet it is !” he cried. " I t ’s worth all
your guess work.”
"Called him by name, did she?”
Tope reflected.
Joe cried in a hot triumph: “ Yes,
she d id !" And he explained care­
fully: “ I think she was begging him
not to leave poor Christopher there
to die. But at any rate she said:
‘Oh, no. please don't, Rufe! Don’t,
Ru(e, please!' ”
“ ‘Rufe,’ eh?” Tope echoed.
“ Sure.
Rufus.
Rufus Ledforge!
And that’s proof enough to convince
any ju ry —with the rest of what
we’ve got—that Rufus Ledforge was
in L ittle Bear that night.”
Tope rubbed his mouth with his
hand; he wagged his head. "Why,
Joe," he said, "Rufus Ledforge was
in L ittle Bear that night, all right.
Or right handy
But the woman,
Mrs Kell, she wasn’t talking to him;
and if she had been, he wouldn’t
have heard her. Rufus was out in

and unconscious, with the drugs in

Joe stammered: "What are you
talking about?”
“This man here isn't Rufus Led­
forge, son,” said Tope.
This—what
was his brother's name?—this here
is Christopher.”
And while they were all for a mo­
ment silent, Bee Dewain—as though
she had heard what she came to
hear—quietly slipped away.
Bee had departed; but no other
moved. Only Ledforge laughed, ap
pealing to young Joe Dane, to big

"Who is this— aged jafikass?” he
protested. "Our best friends couldn’t

Christopher.
It don't make sense
any other way.”
Ledforge started to speak; but
Tope said implacably: "That'» why
you tried to drown Mr. Eberly. Be­
cause he told you that you didn't look
like Rufus. 1 figured you'd try to
kill him, if he did suspect; and when
you Invited him to go fishing, and
I found out he couldn't swim, I
guessed how you'd do it. You hod
tried to find out, two weeks ago,
whether he’d notice anything—tried
to see him, but he was away. You
were checking up ahead of time,
with him and Mrs Kell, to see if
they'd realize you weren't Rufus.
Must have had this idea in mind be­
fore Rufus got sick and gave you
the chance to pull it off. You tooled
her. then; so you took a chance on
being able to fool E berly."
And be explained: "So I told him
to pretend to see a difference in you
today; and he did; and you tried
to drown h im !"
"Ridiculous! He imagined th a t!”
"And Mrs. K ell," Tope added re­
lentlessly, "in L ittle Bear the other
night, finally realized you weren't
Rufus. That was why you killed
her.”
Ledforge said harshly:
"M an,
you're— "
Tope cut in: "W ell, if you weren’t
there, how did you happen to think
of Kell's shoes with the heel-plates
on them? I mentioned footprints,
but not Kell nor his heel-plates."
Ledforge licked dry lips. "Just a
guess! It would be natural for Hol-
dom to put on some one else's shoes;
and Kell's were available."
"M r. Ledforge,” he confessed. ” 1

when I was telling you the story.
I didn't tell you that the sweater
was gray.
You stepped into that

tricians' tape, or that it was the
dog's blanket. You dodged the wires
and the tape, but you stepped right
into the dog one I didn’t mention
that your brother was drugged, but
you did. I didn't say anything about
Kell's shoes, but you did. I didn't
say your brother's body was in the
rumble, but you did.”
He added calmly: "And there was
one more, the worst of all. You put
your neck right into that one, Led­
forge.
You knew it the minute
you did it!"
“ You’re crazy!" Ledforge cried
hoarsely.
" I m ean," Tope explained, “ that

how did you know?”
Tope as he spoke turned toward
the door. Now, before Ledforge. ter­
ribly shaken, could reply, the old
mjin said:
"Oh, hello, m a 'a m !”
They all swung that way. Here
were Mrs. Tope and Bee, and be­
tween them they supported Miss

W. L. White went to Russia with Eric Johnston, presi­
dent of the United States Chamber of Commerce, when
the Soviet government put aside its long standing rule
of secrecy and allowed these American visitors to go to
the places they wanted to go, ask the questions they
wanted to ask, and get the answers to those questions.
He saw Russia from the Caspian Sea to the Finnish
front, and from the depths of Siberia to an American
air base in the Ukraine. The story of his journey takes
us to the least known of the great countries of the world.

we are to see clearly and think straight about Russia
