It was the only war in history that paid dividends. It was not fought to a draw — America dictated the peace terms. it was responsible for building of the Panama Canal. It was responsible for passage of the National Defense Act. it led to abolition of Yellow fever and kindred diseases. U furnished every commander for tile y. S■ in the World War. It ¥-as the U.

« CHAPTER XXVIII The door of the cottage was opened for us by James Ruxton as we ran up on the porch. Beyond him I could see Milton Cross, e slumped in a chair. He was starc ing with horrified fascination at c something on the floor, c ‘‘l telephoned for you, doctor," c Ruxton said. “I was told you were on your way down.” * The doctor nodded. He stepped in and swept the room with a quick glance. On the floor behind the telephone stand in the front of the living room lay the sprawled figure of Willis Clendening. Dr. Calvert I walked over and knelt beside the fallen man. He opened his bag and applied his stethoscope to Clendeni ing* chest. For a minute he listened; then he arose, his face ex- - 51 pressionless. ■) i “Will you help me carry him to i his room, Mr. Fowler?” . | “Is he dead, doctor?" Ruxton asked in a low voice. “Yes." A small, strangled cry of dismay escaped Cross, lie shrank deeper into his chair as I passed him and lifted Clendening's feet Dr. Calvert took the shoulders. The dead 1 man’s arms dangled and his body sagged heavily as we carried it into his room and laid it on the bed. r [ Dr. Calvert walked to the windows and drew the shades, and I was suddenly reminded of my glimpse eight days before of the darkened room of Seifert Vail, with a still body on the bed. The doctor turned on the light and I helped him remove the silk dressing gown i from Clendening’s body. He opened the pajama coat and then, turn- ' ing to me. said. “Thank you, Mr. i Fowler.” "Was he—killed?” I asked. “Os course not!” Dr. Calvert answered sharply, angrily. “He had i a heart attack." I went back into the living room. I It was still raining hard, but the 1 flashes of lightning were less fre- I quent, and the cannonading of the i thunder was receding over the i mountains. Cross did not even look up as I came in, but Ruxton, hi* l face lined by worried furrows, said , to me: “How did Dr. Calvert hear of it so quickly?" ' “I was talking to Clendening on ; the telephone when I heard him i : fall,” I answered. “I got the doc- i I tor.” . a 1 "I see,” he said. “Did Clenden- '; ing call you?” ' “He called Mark and I answered I the telephone.” _ 1 Ruxton was about to speak again when Dr. Calvert came out of Clen- 1 dening’s room. Cross rose shakily ! to his feet. He took a srtep toward ■ the doctor. His hand was shaking ' and his face was a sickly white. i “I want to get out of here!” he : said in a breathless whisper. He 6poke rapidly almost incoherently, : , in an exhausted, terrified voice. 1 “First Vail and then Clendening! 1 Nobody’s safe here. We’ll ail be ' killed, I tell you!” He seized the ] doctor’s coat, and his voice rose ' almost to a scream. “I won’t stay i here! Not another night!” 1 ; The doctor gripped his wrists. He said in a low, brutal voice, “You fool!” He shook the fat little man, and his words and that contemptuous shaking seemed to shock Cross out of his panic. “Let go of me!” he said indignantly. Dr. Calvert released his wrists. Cross said angrily. "I’ll complain te the management about this!” "Complain, if you want,” the doctor said. “But get it out of your mind that Clendening's death had any connection with Vail’s murder. He died of heart disease.” “I don’t care what he died of,” Cross said hysterically. “I want to , be transferred to another cottage!” . “I’ll see that you are today,” Calvert answered. “Now you had better go to your room and rest” “I’ll show you you can’t put your hands on me,” Cross retorted, but he went into his room and closed the door. The doctor turned to us: “Please don’t think I was unnecessarily brutal with him.” he said. “It’s one of the best treatments for hysteria.” Ruxton nodded. “He’s a coward," ! he said calmly. “However, i can understand his dislike of this cottage. I would be more comfortable out «f it. too.”

“Thera are plenty of rooms in the otlier cottages,’ Dr. Calvert said dryly. "I’ll speak to Mr. Anderson about it as soon as I go to the office." “Thank you.” Ruxton paused and smiled apologetically. “It’s true, of course, that Clendening died of natural causes?" “Yes. He never took proper care of himself." The doctor turned to me. “By the way. Mr. Fowler, what did he telephone you about?” "He wanted me to come to see him,” I answered. I hesitated and then decided that I might as well tell them what he had said to me, since they would learn it eventually. “He was very excited. He said he had found something important.” “Did he mean something concerning Vail’s murder?" Ruxton asked. “That’s what I assumed. He told me the other day that he was investigating the murder.” “He was walking around outside the cottage just before the storm ” Ruxton said thoughtfully. “I wonder what he could have found?” “I suppose we’U never know,” I remarked, “be died before he could tell me." “At least that helps to explain his death—overexertion and excitement,” Dr. Calvert said. "It’s a pity he didn’t have Cross’s temperament." “Overexertion and excitement?” Ruxton said. “I wonder if that was all." The doctor and I looked at him in surprise. “I don’t understand," Calvert said. James Ruxton replied, “I was wondering if he had been attacked or frightened by someone.” “What makes you think that?” I asked. “Something could have happened, and neither Cross nor I would have known it,” he answered. “We had been playing checkers in my room. Cross is afraid of thunder and lightning, and when the storm started he pulled down the curtains and sat with his fingers in his ears. The thunder was so loud that neither of us heard Clendening fall. Anything could have happened while we were in there.” I remembered what Mark had told me about the melancholia which was one of the effects of Buxton’s disease. He stood looking at us with gloomy, tired eyes. Dr. Calvert said: “There’s no evidence of anything of the sort. Mr. Ruxton. Don’t you think you’re letting your imagination run away with you?” “It might not have been an attack," the other man answered stubbornly, “but it’s quite possible that some sudden shock killed him. He was sitting facing the window. He may have seen some face that frightened him.” His voice was tense and low, standing there in that gloomy cottage where two nven had )net violent death, there seemed nothing incredible in bis theory. It was fantastic, but so were the three deaths of the last eight days. Unwillingly I found some of his fear communicating itself to me. The unexpected arrival of Dave Finn was, to me, a welcome interruption. He came stamping in, shaking water from his slicker. "G’moming,” he said. “Where’s Clendening?” “He’s dead,” Dr. Calvert replied. “Dead?” Finn echoed. “Why, he phoned me less than a half hour ago!” An expression of consternation grew on his broad, tanned face. “Say, doc, how—” He did not finish his question. Dr. Calvert, reading it as clearly as I did, interrupted: “Heart disease.” “He would die before I could see him!” the sheriff said slowly, bitterly. “That’s the way everything’s heen breakin’ for me in this case I might have expected it.” The sheriff looked around the room at the three of us. “Any of you know what he wanted to tell me?” he asked. Ruxton answered for al! of us. “No.” he said. “He called me up and said he’d found out something important about the murder. He wouldn t say whot it was over the phone He sounded scared.” Finn turned to me. "Did he give you any idea what. it was?” I shook my head. “No,” 1 said,

He stood thinking for a nnn- > ute. “I’ll take a look at him, he t said. “Where is be?" j “In his room,” Dr. Calvert said, j pointing to it. j The sheriff went in and remained 1 for a few minutes.

The storm was ai- : most over, A few large drops ’ splashed on us, but the darkest ■ clouds had passed by. The air was damp and cool. As we walked to- [ ward the hospital I remembered tfe* I dramatic reappearance of Felipa. “Oh, by the way,” I exclaimed, i “I’ve got some good news for you- • sheriff.” i “What’s that?" he asked. “Felipa’s come back." “She has? When?” ’ I told him how the doctor and I ; had passed her on the veranda of the main building as he started to Lakei side Cottage. “I almost forgot it In the excite- ; ment,” I said. Finn was excited. “She must i have come up on the morning train. I bet she was hiding out in New York!” I glanced at the doctor. He walked along, his eyes straight ahead. He looked as though he had i not heard a work we had spoken. Finn took the porch steps two at a time and strode into the lobby of the main building. He said to the telephone operator at the desk, “Where’s Felipa?” “Felipa?" the man repeated. Hr sounded as though he had nevar heard the name before. “You heard me,” Finn said. ! “Where is she?” “In Mr. Anderson’s office, I think,” i the operator replied. As the sheriff started down the hall, the business manager’s door opened and Felipa came out. She was crying. With her handkerchief held to her eyes, she did not see us until ; the sheriff put his hand on her arm. She jerked her head up and when she recognized him, shrank away from him with a cry of dismay. “Well, Felipa,” Finn said in a soft voice, “so you decided to come back, did you?” She looked at him dumbly. “I guess you read in the papers that the case was closed, didn’t you?” Finn went on. “You decided it was safe to come back, didn’t you?” She winced as his hand tightened on her arm. "Please let me go,” sha said. “1 know nothing.” “Oh, no,” Finn said "Me and you are going to ha'-e a talk- Guess you thought you’d get away again, didn’t you?" “Mr. Anderson say f must go,” she said. “He tell me ! can’t work here again. He gay to get my : clothes and go away.” “Well, he must have made a mistake. He forgot I been looking for i you ” A suave voice said, "Felipa must have misunderstood me. I told her to get her things and come back to my office. I was about to telephone . I you, sheriff.” ■j Anderson was standing in the door of his office. He was. as al- ! ways, bland and impenetrable. i Nothing could efface his gentle, ■ diplomatic smile; nothing could > shake his poise. lie went on. "Won’t you both come in ?” The sheriff looked at him with ! open suspicion. He must have known that Anderson, who above • all else wanted the Vail ca:e to remain closed, had tried to get. Felipa away before the sheriff heard she was there But he could not prove i it, and he was too well aware of the t sanatorium manager s importance r to make any such accusation. He ? scowled, tugged at his mustache and . then said to Felipa. “Come on!” 1 (To Be Continued) Copyright. l!Ut. Ijt Joan CUyirn *nd Mgloolm Logu i Distributed by King Peatur** Syndicate. lag.

(U.R) — Conclusive evilence that different sizes of advertising type faces ha 1 ea definite psychologi al effect in denoting tones was gathered in a recent survey at tndiaua University. Professor It. C. Davis interviewed scores of students anl others to learn just what effect, if any, type had on readers of advertising. Concerned about frequent assertions that bold types expresses cheapness; italic, femininity, and so forth, Professor Smith put the theories to actual tests. The subjects were given sheets of paper on which w'ere printed various sizes cf types, varied as to boldness, condensation, use of italics and sizes. The subjects then described the psychological effect each typo had on them, and they described which type they thought best fitted for 23 highly advertised products. The tes'tq a 100 showed that type faces express feeling, the size of the type deter-miniug the tone. lit was found that bold and heavy -type carried the idea of strength, confidence, snappy appeal, 'durability and masculinity. : Thinner and less bolder type was described as carrying thoughts of courtesy, beauty, sex appeal, delicacy, and femininity. «v Loud Speak jr Aids Candidate Dallas Tex. —(U>P) —John Pundt, a candidate for Railroad CommisGioner in Texas isn’t content with making speeches to audiences at
