Inclosing, a stamped envelope for reply. Beg. V. 8. Pat. Off. SYHOP8IBT Franht Derwent and lobby Jones are driving up to London from the Baeelngton' ffrench place in Hampehtre. Bobbv ia diagulaed na Hawkina, Frankte'e chauffeur, thle rusa being part of their attempt to oaten the man U)ho puahed a lelloo they believe viae the explorer Alan Caretalre over a cliff in Walee-to hie death. Of the two auaper.te eo far Roger Baeeing-ton-ffrench and Dr. Sioholaon, Frnnkle ie inclined to favor the teflon.-!. He rune a drug cure near the Baaelngton-ffrench novae. Chapter 24 FREDERICK 8PRAQGE THEY drove to Brook Street. 1 Frankle rang th- ueli and wai admitted, Bobby remaining outside. Presently Frankle opened the door again and beckoned bim In. "There's one otber thing I for got to tell you." said Frankle. Jn the 16th, the day you were poisoned, Basslngton-ffrencb was at Stiver ley, but Nicholson was away sup posedly at a conference In London. And bis car Is a dark-blue Talbot." "And he has access to morphia," laid Bobby. "It's not exactly evidence, I sup pose," said Bobby, "but It fits In nicely." Frankle went to a side table and returned with a telephone directory. "What are you going to do?" "I'm looking up the name Riving ton." She turned pages rapidly. "A. Hivington ft Sons, builders. B. A. C. Rlvlngton, dental surgeon. D. Rlvlngton, Shooter's Hill I tblnk not Miss Florn.ce Rlvlngton. Col. H. Rlvlngton, D.S.O. that's more like It Tlte Street, Chelsea." She continued her search. "There's M. R. Rlvlngton, Onslow Square. And there's a William Rlv lngton at Hampstead. I think On slow Square and Tlte Street are the most likely ones. The Rlvlngtons, Bobby, have got to be seen without delay." "I think you're right" Frankle reflected for minute or two. "I think," she said, "that you'll have to go. Do you fee! you could be the Junior partner of a solicitor's Arm?" "That seems a most gentlemanly rflle," said Bobby. "I was afraid you might tblnk of something much worse than that" She left the room and returned with a card. "Mr. Frederick Spragge," she said, banding it to Bobby. "You are a young member of the firm of Spragge, Spragge, Jenklnson and Spragge of Bloomsbury Square." "Did you Invent that Arm. Frankle?" "Certainly not. They're Father's solicitors." "What about clothes? Shall I .ring up Badger to bring some along?" Frankle looked doubtful. "I think, myself, that we'd better raid Fath er's wardrobe. His clothes won't lit you too badly." A quarter of an hour later, Bobby, attired In a morning coat and striped trousers 0( exquisitely cor rect cut and passible (It stood sur veying himself in Lord Marching ton's pier glass., "CUPPOSINO," said Bobby, paus J ing on the doorstep, "that Mr. M. R. Rlvlngton of Onslow Square la himself a solicitor? That would be a blow." "You'd better try the Tlte Street colonel first," said Frankle. "He won't know snythln about solici tors." Accordingly Bobby took a laxt to Tlte Street. Colonel Rlvlngton was out Mrs. Rlvlngton, however, was st home. Bobby delivered over to the smart parlormaid his card on which he had written "From Messrs. Spragge, Spragge, Jenklnson ft Spragge. Very urgent The card and Lord Marchlngton'e clothes produced their effect upon the parlormaid. He was shown Into a beautifully and expensively fur nlshed drawing-room, and presently Mrs. Rlvlngton, beautifully and ex pensively dressed and made up, came into the room. "I must apologize for troubling you, Mrs. Rlvlngtou," said Bobby. "But the mstter was rather urgent and we wished to avoid the delay of letters. Mrs. Rlvlngton was clearly a woman of more looks than brains, who accepted things as they were presented to her. "Oh, do sit down," she said. "I got the telephone message Just now from your office saying that you were on your way here. Bobby mentally applauded Fran kle for this lsst.mlnute flash of brll llance. He sat down and endeavored to look legal. "It Is about our client, Mr. Alan Carstalrs," he said.

I believe he did," said Mrs. Rlvlngton, opening very large blue eyes. She was clearly ol a suggestible type. "But of course I know about you. You acted for Dolly Maltravera, didn't you, when she shot that dreadful dressmaker man? I suppose you know all the details?" "We know a lot that never comes Into court," he said, smiling. "Ob, I suppose you must" Mrs. Rlvlngton looked at hi -. enviously. "Tell me, did she really I mean was she dressed aa that woman said?" "The story was contradicted In court," said Bobby colemnly. He slightly dropped the corner of bis eyelid. "Oh, I see," breathed Mrs. Rlv lngton, enraptured. "About Mr. Carstalrs," said Bob by, feeling that he bad now estab lished friendly relations and could get on with his Job. "He left Eng land very suddenly, as perhaps you know?" Mrs. Rlvlngton shook her head. Has he left England? I didn't know. We haven't seen blm for some time." Did he tell you hrw long he ex- 1 pected to be over here?" He said he might be here for a week or two, or it might be six months or a year." "Where was he staying?" "At the Savoy." "And you saw hjm last when?" "Ob, about three weeks r a month ago. I can't remember." "You took him dowr. to Staverley one day?" Of course 1 I believe that's the last time we saw him. He rang up to know when be could sea us. He'd Just arrived In London, and Hubert was very put out. because we were going up to Scotland the next day. and we were going down to Staver ley to lunch and that night dining out with some dreadful people that we couldn't get out of, and he wanted to see Carstalrs because he liked him so much, and so I laid, 'My dear, let's take him down to tbe Basslngton-ffrenches with us. They won't mind.' And we did. And, of course, they didn't." She came breathlessly to a pause. Did be tell you nl reasons tor being in England?" asked Bobby. "No. Did he have any? Oh, yes, I know. We thought It waa some thing to do with that millionaire man, that friend of his, who had such a tragic death. Some doctor told him he bad cancer, and he killed himself. A very wicked thing for a doctor to do, don't you 'hlnk so? And they're ofte quite wrong. Our doctor said the otber day that my little girl had measles, and It turned out to be a sort of heat rash. I told Hubert I should change him." IGNORING Mrs Rivlngton's 1 treatment of doctora as though they were library books, Bobby re turned to tbe point "Did Mr. Carstalrs know the lias-slngton-ffrenches ?" "Oh, no. But I think he liked them. Though he was very queer and moody on the way back. I suppose something that had been said must have upset blm. He's a Canadian, you know, and I often think Cana dians sre so touchy." "You don't know what it wss that upset him?" "I haven't the least Idea. Tbe sil liest things do It sometimes, don't they?" "Did he take any walks In the neighborhood?" asked Bobby. "Oh, no. What a very odd. Idea!" She stared at blm. Bobby tried again. "Was there a party? Did he meet any of the neigh bors? "No, It was Just ourselves and them. But It's odd your saying that" "Yes," said Bobby eagerly, as shs paused. "Because he asked a most fright ful lot of questions about some peo ple who lived near there." "Do you remember tbe name?" "No, I don't It wasn't anyone very Interesting some doctor or other." "Dr. Nicholson?" "I believe that waa the name. He wanted to know all about him and his wife and when they came there all sorts of things. It seemed so odd when he didn't know them, and he wasn't a bit a curious man as a rule. But of course, pet haps he wss only making conversation and couldn't tblnk of anything to say. One does do things like that some times." (OfW,ll JMJ-.IJJS, At ilia CarUHa) Prsnkls Interrupts vtry dis turbing testis, tomorrow. bloMom cutT Is fxpoftfri.

It waa not that he did not want knowledge. but rather that be dl&agreed with the methods then used In school ing. He believed that the old system was wrong In that It demanded ox students the learning Dy rote and acceptance of the teachings of so called authorities. This syHtem, he held, did not encourage constructive thought and, It wss further pointed out, the ' au thorities" to whom students looked for learning did not always agree among themselves. Thus It was that Descartes, when he finished his for mal schooling, threw aside his books and tried to rid his mind of what ever he had learned. He wanted his mind open and clear to receive the truth as he found It Instead of the truth as others variously be lieved It to be. With this as a starting point, and with a strong natural aptitude for ma them at lea, Descartes eventually be came one of the most learned men of all times. He Is called the father of modern philosophy and his contri butions to many sciences were In valuable advances.
