The Adventure of the Norwood Bu3der By 8IR ARTHUR CON AN DOYLE Copyright, 1921. by Harper it Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

PART FOUR "Well, after this flaco I went Into the bedroom and examined that also.

It "was- from Norwood, and ran as follows: . . "Important fresh evidence to hand.

The blood-stains were very slight, mere ! McFarlane's guilt definitely establish

wears and discolorations, but un-j doubtedly fresh.' The stick had been removed, but there . also the marks ; were slight. There is no doubt about the stick belonging to oar client He admits it. Footmarks of both men could be made out on the carpet, but none of any third person, which again is a trick for the other side. They were piling up their score all the time, and we were at a standstill. ' Only one little gleam of hope did I get and yet it amounted to nothing. I examined the contents of the safe, most of which had ben taken out and left on the. table. The papers had been made up into sealed envelopes, one or two of which had been opened by the police. They were not, so far as I could Judge, of any great value, nor did the bank-book show that Mr. Oldacre was in such very affluent circumstances.' Bt it seemed to me that all the papers were not there. There were . allusions to some deeds possibly the more valuable which I could not find. This of course, if we could definitely prove it, would turn Lestrade's argument against himself; for who would steal a thing if he knew that ha would shortly inherit it? "Finally, having drawn every other cover and picked up no scent, I tried iny luck with ihe housekeeper. Mrs. Lexington is her name a little, dark, silent person, with t.usupicious and sidelong eyes. She could tell us something if she would I am convinced of Jr. But she was as close as wax..,, Yes, fhe had let Mr. McFatlane in at'halfrast nine. She wished her hand had withered before she had done so. She had gore to bed at half-past ten. Her room was at the other end of the house, and she could hear nothing of what passed. Mr. McFarlane had left Ms hat. and to tha best of her belief his stick, in the hall. She had been

awakened by the alarm of fire. Hen

poor, dear mailer had certainly been murdered. Had he anv enemies? Well, every man had enemies, but Mr. Oldacre kept himself very much to himself, and only met people in the way of business. She had seen the buttons,

nnd wa sure that they belonged to the j c'of.hes which he had worn last night, j The wood-oile was very dry. for it hid j not rained for a month. It burned like tinder, and bv Ihe time she reached! the snot, nothing could be seen but '

flames. She and all the firemen .mailed th? burned flesh from inside it. She knew nothing of the papers, nor of Mr. Oldacre's private affairs. "So. my dear Watson, there's ray report of a failure. And yet and yet" he clenched his thin hands in a paroxysm of conviction "I know it's all vmncr 1 feel it in mv bones. There

is something that has not come out, i

r.nd that housekeeper knows it. mere was a sort of sulky defiance in her eyes, which only goes with guilty knowledge. However, there's no good talking any more about it, Watson; but unless some lucky chance comes cur wav I fear that the Norwood Dis

appearance Case will not figure in that J

chronicle of our successes wnicn 1 1 foresee that a patient public will soon-j cr or later have to endure." j "Surely." said T. "the man's appearance would go far with any jury?" j "That is a dangerous argument, my j rifar Watson. You remember that ter-i

rible murderer. Bert Stevens, who j wanted us (o get hint off in '87? Was j

Ihere ever a more nuld-mannerea, omi-dHV-school young man?" "It is true."

"Unless we succeed in establishing! an alternative theory, this man is lost, j You ran hardly find a flaw in the case j which can now be presented against j him, and all further investigation has j served to s-trrngthen it. By the way, there is one curious little point about I those papers which may serve us as! i he starting-point for an inquiry. On i iocking over the bank-book. I found : that the low state of the balance was; principally due 1o large checks which; inve been mde out during the last

your to Mr. Cornelius, i coniess mat I should be interested to know who this Mr. Cornelius may be with whom n retired builder has such very large transactions. Is it possible that he has had n. hand in the affair? Cornelius

might be a broker, but we have found . no scrip to correspond with these lwrso payments. Failing any olher indication, my researches must now li.ke the direction of an inquiry at the lank for the gentleman who has rahcrt the.-e chocks. But I fear, my i(ir fellow, that our case will end infr'oriously by Let-trade hansing our cMent. which will certainly be a triumph for Scolland Yard." . ,

T do not know now tar ShenocK ' Holmes took any sleen that night, hut; when I came down to breakfast I found him pale and harassed, his; bright eyes the brighter for the dark j Of shadows round them.. The carpet; round his chair was littered with)

lions of the morning papers. An open telegram lay upon the table. "What do you think of this, Watson?" he asked, tossing it across.

ed. v. Advise you to abandon case. Lestrade." "This sounds serious," said I. - "It is Lestrade's little cock-a-doodle of victory," Holmes answered, with a bitter smile. "And yet it may be premature to abandon the case. After all, important fresh evidence is a twoedged thing, and may possibly cut in a very different direction to that which Lestrade imagines. Take your breakfast. Watson, and we will go out; together and see what we can do. ' I feel as if I shall need your company and your moral support today." My friend had no breakfast himself, for it was one of his peculiarities that in his more intense moments he would permit himself no food, and I have known him to presume upon his iron strength until he has fainted from pare inanition. "At present I cannot spare energy and nere force for digestion," he would say in answer to my medical remonstrances. I was not surprised, therefore, when this morning he left his untouched meal behind him. and started with me for Norwood. A crowd of morbid sightseers were still gathered round Deep Dene House, which was just such a suburban villa as I had pictured. Within the gates Lestrade met us, his face flushed with victory, his manner grossly triumphant. "Well, Mr. Holmes, have you proved us to be wrong yet? Have you found your tramp?" he cried. "I have formed no conclusion whatever," my companion answered. "But we formed ours yesterday, and now it proves to be correct, so you must acknowledge that we have been

What's All This About'i

a little in front of you this time, Mr. Holmes." ' "You certainly have the air of something unusual having occurred," said Holmes. " . ' 5 Lestrade laughed loudly. "You dont-like, being beaten any more than the rest of us do," Baid he. "A;inaji can'tv expect always to have it his-. own way, can be Dr. Watson? Step r this way, if you please, gentlemen, and I think I can convince you once for all that It' was John McFarlane .who did this crime."." He led, us through the passage and out into a dark hall beyond. - "This is where young McFarlane

must have come out to get his hat

after the crime was done," said he.

"Now look at this." With dramatic suddenness he struck a match, and by its light exposed a stain of blood upon the whitewashed wall. As he held the match nearer, I saw that it was more than a stain. It was the well-marked print of a thumb." ' Ixxk at that with your magnifying glass, Mr. Holmes." "Yes, I am doing so." "You are aware that no two thumbmarks are alike?" "I have heard something of the kind." "Well, then, will you please compare that print with this wax impres

sion of young McFarlane's right thumb, taken by my orders this morning?" j As he held the waxen print close to ; the blood-stain, it did not take a magnlfying glass to, see that the two were undoubtedly irom the same thumb. It .

was evident to me tnax our uniortunate client was lost. "That is final," said Lestrade. "Yes. that is final." I involuntarily "It is final," said Holmes.

FEED FOR THE BABY CHICK MUST BE EASY OF DIGESTION Day-old chickens need careful feeding in order not to upset digestion or to check orowth How to make Johnnycake for a first feed. Baby chicks should not be fed for from 24 to 36 hours after batching, and will not suffer if given no feed until the third day. The yolk of the egg which is absorbed by the chick when batching furnishes all ; the nourishment required during that time. After the third day they should be fed four or five times daily for the first week or 10 days, but they should be given only what they will eat up clean each time. Overfeeding will do more harm - than underfeeding. Greater care must be used not to overfeed young chicks that are confined than those that have free range, as leg weakness is apt to re

sult in those confined. The first feed should consist of Johnnycake or hardboiled eggs mixed with stale-bread crumbs or pinhead oatmeal, using a sufficient amount of the latter to make a dry, crumbly mixture. These feeds or combinations of feeds may be used with good results for the first week; then gradually substitute for one or two feeds daily a mixture of equal parts of finely cracked wheat, cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal or hulled oats, to which may be added a small quantity of broken rice, millet, rapeseed, and charcoal, if obtainable. This mixture rnakes an ideal ration, say poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. If corn can not be had, cracked kafir corn, rolled or hulled barley may be substituted. A commercial chick feed containing a variety of grains may be used instead if desired, and can be bought from most

feed dealers. How to Make Johnnycake Corn meal 5 lbs. Infertile eggs (tested out i from sitting or from an incubator) 6 lbs. Baking soda 1 tablespoon Mix with milk to make a stiff batter and bake thoroughly. Note When infertile eggs are not available use a double quantity of baking soda and add one-half pound of sifted meat scrap. Ful-O-Pep Chick Feed This feed is composed of a variety of grains such as finely cracked corn, wheat, pinhead oats and fish. Feed it fol" owing the first three days of Ful-O-Pep Growing Mash by scattering in a few inches of litter, gradually increasing depth of litter and quantity of Ful-O-Pep Chic)- Feed as chicks become older and st onger. In preparing this feed th . utmost care is taken to assure poultrymen that in Ful-O-Pep Chick Feed they will have a feed that is just right. Ful-O-Pep Growing Mash When the chicks are one day ol place Ful-O-Pep Growing Mash' where they can help themselves at will. Keep it before them day in and day out. There is no danger of them eating too much. This feed provides the necessary bone and muscle building material and makes young chicks grow as they never grew before. Feed it until pullets are matured and ready to go on the mash. After the tenth day cut down the fine chick feed ration to two feedings a day, morning and evening. At four weeks of age, cut down grain ration to one feeding a day. Caution: For best results, it is

important not to allow the Mash Feeders to become empty at any time. Remember Ful-O-Pep Growing Mash, not Grain Feed, makes the large boned chicks. In addition to the grain feed they must be supplied with grit, oyster shell, and charcoal at all times, and the better way is to place these in a hopper, hanging it in a convenient place where the chicks may help themselves. If chicks are kept in confinement, they must be furnished a liberal supply of tender, green feed like lawn clippings, lettuce leaves, and such other things as may be available. Whenever possible, however, chicks should be given grass range, when they will supply their own green feed, catch bugs, worms, etc. Chicks that are allowed to run on a grass range are usually strong and thrifty and will grow much more rapidly than those that are kept in confinement.

Eat More Good Bread and Reduce Your Food Costs The history of bread as a food reads like a romance. It has always played an important part in the destinies of mankind and his struggle up through the ages. The progress of the nations through their different periods of development can be traced by the quality and quantity of bread they have used. No other food has played such an important part in the civilization of man. Food specialists say, "Bread can safely form 50 or more of the daily diet." Bread is by far the best and cheapest of all foods. It comes nearest in itself to forming a complete diet. It cannot be dispensed with. Good bread is much more healthful and contains a greater amount of nourishment than just ordinary bread.

A liberal supply of good bread on the family table will reduce the consumption of other foods which are more expensive. On this account the economical housewife appreciates the value of good bread. The basis of bread is flour and the basis of good bread is high quality flour. By high quality flour we mean flour that is made from strong,

highly glutinous wheats carefully

selected well milled and whole'

some containing an abundance of

energy yielding material. Pound for pound on a cost basis

the nutritive value of high quality flour compares most favorably with all other foods. The cost of

the flour is very much less.

THE FUL-O-PEP WAY

"Scratch feeds do not make eggs" is the slogan we adopted in

our nation-wide campaign for

greater poultry profits the Ful-O-Pep way. Since making this asser

tion and driving it into the homes

of thousands of poultry keepers all over the land, we have received no

end of letters from poultrymen and women, to the effect that we had made a discovery of great importance and that they had discarded the old method for the Ful-O-Pep way with . immediate results. Many of these reports are little less than phenominal in the production of eggs obtained. The same also is true in relation to the making of rapid growth. It was found, likewise, that an all-grain ration failed to grow and mature the greatest number of all chicks hatched. The theory was correct and based on the discovery of the Ful-O-Pep Dry Mash and Growing Mash against the customary methods of feeding all-grain rations. The gist of the Ful-O-Pep way is to so manage the young and old stock that they consume twice as much mash feeds as the grain ration and giving grain only once per day at roosting time. In conjunction with the feeding of the Ful-O-Pep Mashes before the fowls at all times, Ful-O-Pep Scratch Grains are given one hour before roosting time a quart to each one dozen hens and to the young stock all they will eat up clean in about twenty minutes. This is for the hens' "up-keep" and to supply the growing stock with a more sustaining ration while roosting. Ful-O-Pep Mashes are easily assimilated, and if the last feed of the day were not grain the fowls would become hungry before morning. Thus is explained the Ful-O-Pep way for making eggs and rapid growth. Once tried always used.

PEARL GRIT Aids Digestion, Makes More Eggs Scientists tell us that there is no

known substance that aids a fowl's digestion as does good, clean, sharp

grit.' It enables the gizzard to pre

pare the food for digestion. It Is a

fowl's false teeth. When grit becomes worn out it is expelled. Ifv,

new, sharp grit cannot be secured, the food must remain unground In the gizzard until it is softened and

falls to pieces. This makes slow, imperfect digestion. It robs the

hen of strength and robs you of eggs.

Grit of any kind is good for poultry because it enables the gizzard

to prepare the food for digestion, but there is a best grade of grit, '

just as there is a best grade of blooded stock, of corn, oats, hay.

oil. coal of everything.

Pearl grit is more than a food grinder. Besides being the cleanest, whitest and sharpest grit that money can buy. Pearl Grit contains a generous supply of those miner-, als that the laying hen needs so badly in the production of eggs. . Both teeth and tonic, it is a double purpose grit. When you scatter Pearl Grit you scatter all that the hen needs for its digestion as well as for egg making. Sulphur and Carbohydrates, essentials in making eggs, are both . contained in Pearl Grit By mixing this double purpose grit with your feed, you are giving your bens . a perfectly "balanced ration." and thus assuring yourself of a maximum amount of eggs. .Furthermore, the eggs will be of a better quality, as Pearl Grit is rich in calcium carbonate (lime), a substance that helps hens produce large, white, and hard-eheUed eggs. Fowls fed on Pearl Grit never lay eggs with soft shells. This reduces your loss through breakage. Pearl Grit is clean, white and nutritious. It imparts strength and vigor to young chicks and is most excellent for laying hens. It gives

them exactly what they need to make them healthy, heavy layers. Its whiteness enables hens to find it easily and quickly. It is an economy to use Pearl GrlL When you use an inferior grit, you rob your hens of strength and rob . yourself of eggs. Pearl Grit mixes with the feed, grinds the contents of the gizzard, stimulates the. digestion, and increase? the size, quality, and number of your eggs. Its cost is trifling, and your profits are large. You can make no mistake by giving Pearl Grit a trial. Three pounds of grit per hen per year is the amount recommended by the Oregon Agricultural Station at Corvallis, Oregon, to stimulate the production of heavy laying hens.

To Keep Cured Meats Sweet "Well cured smoked meat may be kept sweet, free from mold and insects from March until October, in C0J rse salt," says Prof Conklin, of the Ohio State University. "The meat must be wrapped in heavy paper and buried in cov.rse or C. C. salt, such as is used for ice cream making. About two inches of the salt should be placed in the bottom of a barrel or box and the wrapped meat then packed in, using about the same amount of salt between the pieces and over fhe top."
