Three spheres can be arranged in six ways, four spheres in twenty-four ways, five In 130 ways, and six in 720 ways. But lee crystal* are not round -they start with six sides, so that with Its first growth a snow crystal takes on six new crysluts. The second growth brings twelve more, the third brings thirty-six more, the fourth brings 144 more, the fifth brings 730 more, the sixth brings 4.320 more. And each of these last 4.320 phases in turn has 730 way* lo gather new crystals, and each of tbe 730 possildlitle* has 141 of its own possibilities, and so on.

BYNOPSII While etrolling along the countryside, Ambrose Pcnayfeather, s respected citizen of Weyland, England, ie murdered by a man who •poke with a French accent. In the nearby residence of Lord George Lancheeter, be and hia brother, Yves Blaydes-Steele, disc use the murder of their friend, who "never had an enemy in the world.” Then talk turns to the mission Yve* ie to perform for hie brother the next day. In the yeer IS3S, the then Earl of Lancheeter deposed the tyrannical Dwan of the Island of Sulungu, and seated the latter's conein. Prince Thelan, on the throne. For this. Queen Victoria honored Lanchester with the mission of presenting a precioua emerald to the new sultan each year. The Dwan conferred upon Lord Lancheeter the "Honour of the Emerald” and, from that time on, the Blaydee-Stecle family became ■ link between the Imperial House of England and the ruling monarch of Sulungu. There were now 101 jewel* in the necklece. In recent years, the Dwan had come to England to have the new emerald added to the chain. Thi* Yvee was to do the next day. There wae a prophesy that "he who wore the aecalace wore also the diadem." The priceless string now assumed international importance since Sulungu loomed a* a strategically located submarine base and Japan waa nearby. Betides, oil had been discovered there. The little island, therefore, was of inestimable value to Great Britain. CHAPTER FOUR Yvee was spending the night at Weyland Hall and after a final nightcap he retired to bed. But not to sleep. The aged figure of Ambrose Pennyfeat her quite literally haunted him. Stafford had telephoned late that evening to say that there wae no dec to the murderer and, so far, not a ghost of a motive had aDDaared. StafforJ had said that Rainbird had been hopeful of establishing some link by means of the dog Aristotle’s laws. Hie fangs had been earefully examined but there was not a trace of thread or doth found. Yve* spent a wretched night. He awoke at six with a headache. But after a hot bath, he felt better and by seven o’clock he wae letting himself out of the billiard room door into the garden. The morning was misty »nd gave hint of a brilliant day to eome. He glaneed at his wrist wateh and saw teat he had two hour* before he Med leave in the car. On the spur of the moment, he passed through the gate in the lofty garden wall and found himself in the narrow lane whieh lead to Weyiand's Wood. Five minutes’ walk brought him to •* spot where Mr. Pennyfeather had met his death. Yvee was moving slowly over the ground, his eyes intent, when a hoarse voice from the mist exclaimed suddenly, "New then, now then, and what might you be a-doin’ of?" Yves looked up and recognised Simon Whistlecraft, Weyland eon•tabla. ’1 beg your pardon, Mr. Yves,” —he pronounced it 'Wive*’—“Turrtle busine**, this ’ere, yiss, yiee." “Hornin', WhlsUecreft," nodded Yvss pleasanUy. "Yee, it's all that You been here long?” "Every hour of the night, Mr. Wtees.’’ Yves had a short conversation with the policeman who confirmed the evident fact that the stony ground near the first trees of WeylantTs Wood would retain no footprint On hia return to the house, Yve* found the local inspector of police seated In the hall. “Hello, Rainbird, any further development*?’’ “No, Mr. Yvee." “What’* Colonel Stafford going to do now?” asked young BlaydwBteele. “Well, that’s what I eome to see His Lordship about The Monel’s against rollin' in the Yard and l’a hare behind his back, so te spenk.” “You want my brother to persuadeurour chief to appeal to ScotjgMjtapg, jg that te?” * - W<n, sir, ft’s like this," wsut ot> Mk with gtodhaH
