The Reigate Puzzle By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Copyright, 1921, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

PART ONE. It was some time before the health of my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, recovered from the strain caused by his immense exertions in the spring

of '87. Th whole question of th Netherland-Sumatra company and of the colossal schemes of Baron Maupertuis are too recent in the minds of the public, and are too intimately concerned with politics and finance to be fitting subjects for this series of sketches. They led, however, in an indirect fashion to a singular and complex problem which gave my friend an opportunity of demonstrating the value of a fresh weapon among the many with which he waged his lifelong battle against crime. On referring to my notes I see that

FORESTRY PROFESSOR j ASKS TREE PLANTING SUITABLE FOR BIRDS (By Associated Press) XEW YORK, Oct lO.Trees, Bhrubs and vines which will attract birds should be planted by home owners, according to Prof. Alan F. Arnold, of the New York State College of Forrestry. who declares that many of our native birds are disappearing because of the lack of food and shelter.

Professor Arnold has made public a list of plants attractive to birds, which included many of the most ornamental of plants. This included the native red cedar, which provides the best shelter and nesting place for birds while they find food in the ber

ries and insects commonly found on jit was upon the fourteenth of April

that I received a telegram rrom iyons which informed me that Holmes was lying ill in the Hotel Dulong. Within 24 hours I was in his sick-room, and

was relieved to find that there was nothing formidable in his symptoms. Even his iron constitution, however, had broken down under the strain of an investigation which had extended over two months, during which period he had never worked less than fifteen hours a day, and had more than once, as he had assured me, kept to the task for five days at a stretch. Even the triumphant issue of his labors

could not save him from reaction after so terrible an exertion, and at the time when Europe was ringing with his name and when his room was literally

ankle-deep with congratulatory telegrams. I found him a prey to the blackest depression. Even the knowledge that he had succeeded where the police of three countries had failed, and that he had out-manouvred at every point the most accomplished swindler in Europe, was insufficient to rouse him from his nervous prostration. . , . Three days later we were back in Baker street together; but it was evident that my friend would be much the better for a change, and the

Names Favorite Plants. The native flowering dogwood and the Chinese flowering crabapple also are favorites of the birds. The graystemmed dogwood, honeysuckle, American elder and sheepberry also are serviceable. The Virginia creeper Is given as one of the most popular vines, furnishing nesting places for birds, and draws the attention of birds away from grapes, apples and peaches. "If one has a place where plants of the wilder sort can be introduced," said Professor Arnold, "and wishes to

make a special point of attracting birds, there is a great variety of native plants that could not be used for more finished effects, but here would be Just the thing. These are mulberry, tupelo and white spruce, such shrubs as the spice bush, choke cherry and swamp rose and bittersweet and frost grape vines. The flowering dogwood, mulberry, wild black cherry, bay berry, American tlder and high-bush blueberry can be counted on in general to attract tho bluebird, cardinal, flicker, kingbird, Baltimore oriole, robin and cedar waxwing. BUILDING PROJECTS

WOULD EMPLOY 5,000 GREENVILLE, O.. Oct. 10. Construction of the 1,275 homse needed to house every one properly in Darke county would give work to 5,000 men, according to estimates made through the state department of commerce by John W. Prugh, state superintendent of building and loan associations. This announcement followed a survey of Darke county by Superintend

ent FYugh after a suggestion from President Harding and Ohio aid in giving work to its unemployed through an extensive building program. If the construction of only a small percentage of the 1,275 homes needed in thi3 county should be started now, it would afford employment to practically all seeking work. Mills Company Sues.

AMERICAN GIRL IS PRIZE BEAUTY OF CENTRAL AMERICA

MURRAY.

Jane Novak, the beautiful blonde girl who ha3 won a large following through her screen work with William S. Hart, Charles Ray, Tom Mix and others, has been selected to play the part of "Ann" in the new Goldwyn Picture, "Roads of Destiny," starring Pauline Frederick which is showing at the Murray Theatre. As "Ann" she holds the steadfast love of "David" no matter in what environment she is placed, while "Rose," played by Miss Frederick, is destined to be the unhappy, storm-tossed soul who can find no peace or happiness. The screen version is from Channing Pollock's adaptation of O. Henry's famous story and seeks to show that Fate rules the universe and that man cannot escape his destiny no matter what he takes.

the country was full of attraction to me also. My old friend, Colonel Hayter, who had come under my profes

acy was needed, but when Holmes understood that the establishment was a bachelor one, and that he would be allowed the fullest freedom, he fell in with my plans and a week after our return from Lyons we were under the colonel's roof. Hayter was a fine old soldier who had seen much of the world, and he soon found, as I had expected, that Holmes and he had much in common.

On the evening of our arrival we were sitting in the colonel's gunroom

aner dinner, tioimes stretched upou the sofa, while Hayter and I looked over his little armory of Eastern weapons. "By the way," said he suddenly, "I think I'll take one of these pistols with me in case we have an alarm." "An alarm!" said I. "Yes, we have had a scare in this part lately. Old Acton, who is on;?

"Jfo clue?" asked Holmes, cocking

his eye at the colonel.

"None as yet, but the affair is a petty one, one of our little county

crimes, which must seem too small

for your attention, Mr. Holmes, after this great international affair." Holmes waved away the compliment though his smile showed that it had pleased him. "Was there any feature of interest?" "I fancy not. The thieves ransacked the library and got very little for

their pains. The whole place was turned upside down, drawers burst open, and presses ransacked, with the result that an odd volume of Pope's 'Homer,' two painted candlesticks, an ivory letterweight, a small oak barometer, and a ball of twine are all

that have vanished." "What an extraordinary assortment!" I exclaimed. "Oh the fellows' evidently grabbed hold of everything they could get." Holmes grunted from the sofa. "The county police ought to make something of that," said he; "why it is surely obvious that " But I held up a warning finger.

"Neither, sir. It was William the coachman. . Shot throught the heart, sir and never spoke again." ' "Who shot him, then?" "The burglar, sir. He was off like a shot and got clean away. He'd just

"What time?"

"It was last night, sir, somewhere

about twelve.

"Ah, then we will go over afterwards," said the colonel, coolly settling down to his breakfast again. "It's a bad-dish business," he added, when the Butler had gone; "he is oui leading man about here, i3 old Cunningham, and a very decent fellow, too. He will be cut up over this, for the man has been in his service for a good many years and was a good

Holmes shrugged his shoulders with a glance of comic resignation toward the colonel, and the talk drifted away into less dangerous channels.

MURRETTE.

After you have seen that winsome little three-year-old Georgette Bancroft, in "The Journey's End," the newest Ilodkinson release at the Murrette

theatre, you will readily understand why she was so thoroughly beloved by everyone in the studio, from Hugo Ballin himself, who found it a delight to direct the child, down to the stage hands, who vied with' one another in bringing her toys, and in performing

all their various stunts and tricks for

her little ladyship's amusement. Brimming over with fun and good

nature, and quickly adapting herself

to the unusual studio life, Georgette

danced her sunny way through the

scenes of the picture into the hearts of all who watched her, and often the

tension of a difficult moment would be immediately lessened by the sound of her gleeful laughter.
