Wednesday, June 8 Webb Lodge No. 24, F. & A. M, called meeting. Work in the Fellow Craft degree, 7 o'clock. Friday, June 10 King Solomon's Chapter, N'o. ' 4. R. A., M., stated convocation and work in the Mark Master's degree.

PART THREE "Who are you, sir, and by what right do you touch this gentleman's papers?" the queer little old man asked. "I am a private detective, and I am endeavoring to explain his disappearance.' "Oh. you are, are you? And who instructed you, eh?" "This gentleman, Mr. Staunton's friend,. was referred to me by Scotland Yard." "Who are you, sir?" "I am Cyril Overton." "Then it is you who sent me a telegram. My name is Lord Mount-James. I came round as quickly as the Bayswater 'bus would bring me. So you have instructed a detective?" "Yes. sir." "And are you prepared to meet the cost?" "I have no doubt, sir, that my friend Godfrey, when we find him, will be prepared to do that." "But if he is never found, eh? Answer me that!" "In that case, no doubt his family "Nothing of the sort, sir!" screamed the little man. ' Don't look to me for a penny not a penny! You understand that, Mr. Detective! I am all the family that this young man has got, and I tell you that I am not responsible. If he haS'any expectations it is due to the fact that I have never wasted money, and I do not propose to begin to do so now. As to those papers with which you are making so free, I may tell you that in case there should be anything of any value among them, you will be held strictly to account for what you do with them.'' "Very good, sir." said Sherlock Holmes. "May I ask, in the meanwhile, whether you have yourself any theory to account for this young man's disappearance?" "No. sir, I have not. He is big enough and old enough to look after himself, and if he is so foolish as to lose

himself. I entirely refuse to accept the

responsibility of hunting for him." "I quite understand your position." said Holmes, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Perhaps you don't quite understand mine. Godfrey Staunton appears to have been a poor man. If be has been kidnapped, it could not have been for anything which he himself possesses. The fame of your wealth has gone abroad Ixrd Mount James, and it is entirely possible that a gang of thieves have secured your nephew in order to gain from

him some information as to youri j house, your habits, and your treasjure." The face of our unpleasant little I

visitor turned as white as his neckcloth. "Heavens, sir, what an idea! I never thought of such villainy! What inhuman rogues there are in the world! But Godfrey is a fine lad a staunch lad. Nothing would induce him to give his old uncle away. I'll have the plate moved over to the bank this evening. In the meantime spare no pains, Mr. Detective! I beg you to leave no stone unturned to bring him safely back. As to money, well, so far as a fiver, or even a tenner goes you can always look to me." Even in his chastened frame of mind, the noble miser could give us no information which could help us, for he knew little of the private life of his nephew. Our only clue lay in the truncated telegram and with a copy of this in his hand Holmes set forth to find a second link for his chain. We had shaken off Lord Mount-James, and Overton had gone lo consult with the other members of his team over the misfortune which had befallen them. There was a telegraph office at a short distance from the hotel. We halted outside it. "It's worth trying, Watson," said Holmes. "Of course, with a warrant we could demand to see the counterfoils, but w have not reached that stage yet. I don't suppose they remember faces in so busy a place. Let us venture it." "I am sorry to trouble you," said he, in his blandest manner, to the young woman behind the grating: "there is some small mistake about a telegram sent yesterday. I have had no answer, and I very much fear that I must have omitted to put my name at the end. Could you tell me if this was so?" "What o'clock was it?" she asked. "A little after six." "Whom was it to?" Holmes put his finger to his lips and glanced at me. "The last words in it were for God's sakp,' " he whispered confidentially; " am very anxious at getting no answer." The young woman separated one of the forms. "This is it. There is no name," said she, smoothing it out upon the counter. "Then that, of course, accounts for my getting no answer," said Holmes. "Dear me, how very stupid of me, to be sure! Good morning, miss, and many thanks for having relieved my mind." He chuckled and rubbed his hands "when we found ourselves in the street once more. "Well?" I asked. "We progress, my dear Watson, we progress. I- bad seven different

"schemes for getting a glimpse of that I telegram, but I could hardly hope to

succeed the very first time." "And what'have you gained?" "A starting-point for our investigation." He hailed a cab. "King's Cross Station," said he. "We have a Journey then?" "Yes, I think we must run down to Cambridge together. All the indications 8eem to me to point in that direction." "Tell me," I asked, as we rattled up Gray's Inn Road, "have you any suspicion yet as to the cause of the disappearance? I don't think that among all our cases I have known one where the motives are more obscure. Surely you don't really imagine that he may be kidnapped in order to give information against his wealthy uncle?" "I confess, my dear Watson, that that does not appeal to me as a very

J probable explanation. It struck me,

however, as being the one which was most likely to interest that exceedingly unpleasant old person." "It certainly did that; but what are your alternatives?" "I could mention several. You must admit that it is curious and suggestive that this incident should occur on the eve of this important .match, and should involve the only man whose presence seems essential to the success of the side. It may, of course be a coincidence, but it is interesting. Amateur sport is free from betting, but a good deal of outside betting goes on amonf?the public, and it is possible that it might be worth someone's while to get at a player as the ruffians of the turf get at a race-horse. There

is one explanation. A second very obvious one is that this young man really is the heir of a great property, however modest his means may at present be. and it is not impossible that a plot to hold him for ransom might be concocted." "These theories take no account of the telegram." "Quite true, Watson. The telegram still remains the only solid thing with which we have to deal, and we must not permit our attention to wander from it. It is to gain light upon the purpose of this telegram that we are now upon our way to Cambridge. The path of our investigation is at present obscure, but I shall be very much surprised if before evening we have not

cleared it up, or made a considerable advance along it." Tomorrow The' AtVonture of th Missing Three-quart eiz. continued.

HAVE you ever stopped to think of the part petroleum plays in converting raw material into the fabrics which are used to make your suit of clothes? From the wool on a sheep's back to the clothes on your back is a long journey and petroleum shortens it at every step. By machinery lubricated with petroleum, a man may shear from 175 to 200 fleeces a day. By the old method, 50 fleeces would be considered a big day's work. After leaving the sheep, the wool passes through ten major processes before it is ready for the tailor. Each of these require the use of intricate machinery, having bearings which run at speeds varying from 350 to 12,000 revolutions per minute. From the clipper to the last finishing machine, a diversity of mechanical conditions exist, each of which has been studied and experimented with, and a lubricant found which meets exactly the needs of the machinery. In solving these lubricating problems, and manufacturing oils and greases which enable these machines to perform their work, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has been among the leaders. Its staff of carefully trained chemists, refiners, and lubricating engineers are constantly at work, devising new and more efficient means of reducing friction. This Company computes its success not wholly upon its balance sheets, not wholly upon the number of useful products it manufactures, but rather upon the fact that many of the useful products of petroleum are made from material which otherwise would be wasted, and are made by processes which were evolved in the Company's laboratories.
