'The results with this vitamin . were about the same as thosi* obtained when the animals were • given fat diets 'with liver extract i The liver extract seems to have I beneficial effects in preventing lite storage of fat in the. liver, because of choline and npethionine which are present in liver extract.’ Choline is part of the vitamin ! . one of the amino acids wh ch make up protein foods.

' CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX GAMADGE put the- receiver down and walked slowly back into the study. Ames sat waiting for him, and greeted him wffh an inarticulate question and a frightened stare. Gamadge came up to ? the table, picked up the little glassy of brandy that had been ready f|r him so long, and drank half bf it_ He said, “It’s all over, ktr. Coldfield. She’s dead.” ' * •Thank God." •Tenner killed her." | Ames seemed to collect his faculties. "Do you mean—<will it all have to come outT Even} now ?” “I’d better tell you what happened, then you can Judge for yourself. I had two men watching him, as much to protect him as anything else; he met heir in *> little restaurant, and she scents to have saved out a, dose of that poison and somehow managed -• to \ get it into his beer. She thought he’d drive away in his car and die in it, or in a traffic accident. Nobody at the restaurant would } ever connect such a death with Kirn or with her. But she still didn’t quite realize how \ fast that stbff works. You’d think, after Sylvia Coldfield's experience—" J Ames said with a touch of his old dryness, ‘They’d Spare my niece some of the details." •’Anyhow, she thought she’d get him started off tn his Car. I think he might have made it4-far enough tb answer her purple ; but I’d warned him. He felt I that something was wrong withih|rn, he remembered what I’d said, and he thought he was a dead j man. Ip that moment be may even have believed what he hadn't allowed him- } self to believe before, that she was a poisoner already. “What poison? He didn’t know. He was going out fast, but he had time to strangle her and drive away. He drove intd the traffic ,on the avenue—he was doped and ; dying, only knew eneugh to keep his foot down. Venner would never } try any such ineffectual form of suicide as that." “But was he—■" “If he weren’t killed, he niudt have been badly smash ed; he’d die of. that dose before they ever thought of anything but shock and perhaps internal injuries. There’ll ( be no autopsy, Mr. Coldfield, or 1 if . there is, they won’t look for sleeping medicine. There’ll be a terrific scandal, of course, and the case will be .closed—a love affair, jealousy, an insanel getalway. That’s all," said Gamadge. "Her father and mother may never know that It might be worse.” Ames got himself to his feet. “You won’t tell them?” “There’s no reason for me to tell them now. Your niece isn’t a danger any more.” (Ames looked down at jthe blue envelope. “You say yoti Were looking for the others in that; trunk?” “Yes, and they may be there—safe enough. 1 don’t believe she tver put them through the formalities of a safe-deposit box; a court order can get even a safedeposit box opened.

Gamadge lEft him gazing down at the charred paper in the grate, got himself out of the house and into his car, and drove away. What, he pondered, would the girl’s wretched parents make of those clothes in the locked trunk? Years from now, perhaps, .they would be found. Presents frdm Venner? And what.would his Client make of Susan Coldfield’s end ?\ But Gamadge knew that, of course. Tripped herself up, but who shoved her ? "They’ll all wish they could give me a decoration,” be told himself, rand nobody will ever} dare to* say so.’’ Some months later Gamadge was waiting in a downtown bar •for a wpuld-be client to meet him and show him an autograph letter. Loaning up at the bar and absorbing an old-fashioned, hs noticed four young people in a booth who were having a fine time; two men and ’two pretty girls. One of the men detached himself from his party and came up to the ban “Mr. Gamadge: you wouldn’t remember me." , “Mr. Smyth. How are-you?* "I’m all right, thanks. Mind If I talk a minute?” "I don’t know how you can bear to leave, your friends over there.” “Especially the redheaded one?” “I’ve been admiring het.” "Mrs. Smyth, If I, ever get my degree.” • , ‘‘Congratulations; that’s good news.” “Zelma and I pad a little windfall, aged aunt died.” T don’t-think .I ought to condole, In the circumstances. Tell me if I’m wrong, though,” said Gamadge. Sam pondered, then said, "Lots df changes since I saw you last.” “Yes." "Coldfield hoiise shut up, Gramp retired and lives in Florida. Zel and I have a little place in New York.” He had turned grave. ‘‘Gramp was shaken up by whdt ■ happened, you know. More than 1 we were. Zel and I got a little i away from all that,, you know; ' Iput Gramp—what I wanted to say was, I think he finally caught on to the capsule mystery.” Gamadge looked inquiring. , V “So did I," said Sam. “Not at i the time—impossible for me to • guess. You! must have thought me ; pretty dumb that night you were at the house." “Far from it.” 1} 1 "Os course I don’t know any > details,” said Sam. “Only the ones i everybody knows. But I suppose Glendon Coldfield and his wife ! somehow ■got on to that affair • with Venner. Zelma knew about it ’ when It was going on." } J • “Really?” Gamadge was inter- > ested. “And she told me after it all i came out." Sam looked down into, his drink. “She’s pretty good about s keeping secrets—Zelma is, I mean. : Susie told her all about Venncf, she! was crazy about the guy for years, but she wouldn’t marry him because he didn’t have money. His business had gone down after his father died. He was i man who had to live a certain way, and he spent too much. So Zelma understood." ' | I “I had an idea that he was like that." ' .— j. 4 -

"Because Susie wouldn’t marry' him? Anyhow, she left his letters with Zel after she got engagedi to Jim Waterton.’’ “She did? Why?" ' “I don’t know, she | was like that," said Sam. “Pathological, tn away, like wanting Zelma around after she got Jim Waterton away from her} Wanted me around, too, but not feeling about Susie the way poor old Zel felt about Waterton 1 wouldn’t play.” "So l gathered,” said Gamadge. “It ail made me very sore.

Then he asked, “That so?" “Remember she made Zelma take her upstairs?" “I remember, yes.* “The letters were In a little loeked-up case Susie had, and tt wert Into a pocket of her topcoi t.“ "Very interesting.” “She was going to have some kind of a showdown with him.

They’re all abroad, you know, Coldfields, and Watertons, all of them. What a bust-up, wasn’t it? Td come to realize that Susie was as cruel as the grave, but I—still, you only had’ to look at that portrait of her grandmother in the dining room to realize that the subject was a psychopath.” “There was cruelty there, yes. And you didn’t think Susan’s mother’s Influence 4vas good, did you?”; \ "Well, no. But Susie was all right When we were children.

Erie Railroad Has A Colorful History Railroad Observes 100th Anniversary The 1 Erie ! Railroad company, tn commemorating its lOOtli annivers-! ary, beginning this nwbth, looks back on a 1 colorful history in its westward expansion, j ; For at first the Erie was an eastern railroad, serving primarily southern New York and northern Pennsylvapia. At that i|me; Erie railroad men are so point out, that railroad was; the firfet, longest mainline railroad ih the country. On May 14-15, lißsl, the old ‘‘New York and Erie Railway” celebrated the result of almost 20i years i>f | construetipn. Three hundred distinguished people of that period, headed by president MHlard ■ Fillmore and secretary of state Daniel Webster were passengers on the inaugural trip. The line then measured 446 miles. Today the railrbad has expanded 1 its rail ,service bver 2,?30 miles, ' (With Jferkey City ;its eastern term- ' inus and Chicago the terminus of the west. ; The company lists as its achievements that, ‘he Erie was ithe leader among eastern railroads in the useof diesels. , More recently it has done extensive work in ; its communications, installing four-wky radiotelephone systems In trains. Locally, Decatur was a part of the experimental scheme for* the communications system wheh last fall technicians completed work here. The trains are-so seUUp at present that engineers can communicate with stations, with cabooses on the train, and deceive messages. This is hailed as* a giant step forward in facilitating the miovemeirt of railroad traffic'. i But Adams county pfeople per- 1 haps best recall the laying of the double track through the county. The Erie passes through St. Mary’s township, part of Root, through Washington township and Decatur, '■ then through Preble township. Its double tracks extend from Hammond to Jersey City, and in Adams coucity it is one 4f the largest talxpayeik, contributing $21,598.36 In 'ispo. j ! (. ' j The laying of i the second, track was completed before the first World War. Best remembered are ,the Working crews here,|and 'many Adams bounty men were among them.

The Adams county dairy -herd im- 1 proveinent association has one of the most successful hair and pasture programs in the state and the numbers’ records prove it. {The association and its hay and pasture Improvement program is the subject of this month’s educational circular being distributed to dairy farmers of this area by the | Northeastern Indiana milk and cream processors in cooperation with the Purdue University agri j cultural extension service, county I agents and dairy fieldmen. | Pictured here are Elza Lynch, Adams D.H.I.A. cow tester and hisv wife Hoselyn, checking records of the 39 herds and more cows enrolled in the association. Since he took over in the fall of 194,1, dairymen of the county have increased their production at less feed cost and their ’cows are getting 200 days of excellent pasture. The average pasture acreage in the association has been reduced one half and the carrying capacity of an acre has been tripled. By feeding good hay and pastUre t grain consumption has been reduced one halt or more.
