7 The Problem of TKor Bridge By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

NEW INDOOR FIELD FOR QUAKERS BOOSTED BY ROTARY, KIWANIS , Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, at a joint meeting in the K. of P. tempi Tuesday evening, endorsed the cause

of Earlham'e proposed new indoor athletic field ana several . members of both organizations made pledges to underwrite subscriptions to the fund. Following a meeting of the building3 and grounds committee, President Edwards announced today that the college would proceed immediately with the erection of the indoor field on the strength of the endorsement by the Rotarians and Kiwanians. Will Reller, chairman, explained that Earlham is in dire need of a new Indoor athletic field and that the college authorities had made every effort to raise the entire amount of $35,000 nutsirt of the -ritv rT Richmond. Do

to this time about $20,000 has been eager lac cau buuueaiy asauuieu iua.1

"As you were when you got the note?" "Yes; from that time onwards, for the whole morning." "Thank you. Miss Dunbar. Is

there any other point which could

help me in the investigation?" j "I can think of none." "There was some sign of violence on the stone-work of the bridge a perfect-fresh chip just opposite the body. Could you suggest any possible explanation of that?" "Surely it must be a mere coincidence.", "Curious, Miss Dunbar, very curious. Why should it appear at the very time of the tragedy and why at the very place?" "But what could have caused it?

Only great violence could have such

an effect."

Holmes did not answer. His pale,

raised, including $2,700 which had

'been subscribed by members of Earlham's faculty and Earlham people. The matter of raising the remaining $15,000 was placed before the joint meeting of the two clubs for their consideration as to how the money Slight be raised in the city. Maj. A. N. Kellogg, director of athletics at Purdue university, pointed out the advantages of physical education and athletic competition both to the college and to the man. Intercollegiate athletics cements the spirit of the entire student body and instills into them the spirit of unity when dir versity of interests of other kinds tends to divide the student body up into small units, Maj. Kellogg said. The advantages of athletics to the ' man are three-fold, he said. They are of a physical, mental and social nature. Mowe Outlines Need Oach Ray Mowe, of Earlham, president of the Kiwanis club, outlined in detail the needs of Earlham in the way of facilities for those who must take physical education and who par

ticipate in athletics. He stated that something must be done to maintain the present standing of Earlham as well as to raise it in the future. Dr. David M. Edwards, president of Earlham collese, discussed the advantages to Richmond of having Earlham college within its gates. He : stated that these advantages were financial, cultural and spiritual and that if for no other than selfish financial reasons the people of Richmond should feel the advantages of having the college here and should support its interests. Following Dr. Edwards' talk several members of both organizations discussed the project After several members had signified their intention of contributing to the fund, pledge cards were circulated and 17 pledges to subscribe and to underwrite subscriptions to the total amount of $3,100 were made. A committee to be appointed by Will Reller. president of Rotary and chairman of the meeting, to be composed of two members of each of the two clubs and one mem- . ber not belonging to either of the two organizations, was authorized. This committee will make plans to raise the money which is not guaranteed by the members of the two organizations. HOGS MAY GET BIG CROP OF PEACHES

tense, far-away expression which I

had learned to associate with the supreme manifestations of his genius. So evident was the crisis in his mind that none of us dared to speak, and we sat barrister, prisoner, and myself, watching him in a concentrated and absorbed silence. Suddenly he sprang from his chair, vibrating with nervous energy and the pressing need for action. "Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "What is it, Mr. Holmes?" "Never mind, my dear lady. You will hear from me, Mr. Cummings. With the help of the God of justice I will give you a case which will

make England ring. You will get'

news by tomorrow. Miss Dunbar, and meanwhile take my assurance that the clouds are lifting and that I have every hope that the light of truth i3 breaking through." ""

It was not a long journey from

The village shop provided a ball of i stout twine. "I think that this is all we will need," said Holmes. "Now, if you please, we will get off on what I hope is the last stage of our journey." The sun was setting and turning the rolling Hampshire moor into a wonderful autumnal panorama. The sergeant, with many critical and incredulous glances, which showed his deep doubts of the sanity of my com

panion, lurched along beside us. As

we approached the scene of the crime

I could see that my friend under all his habitual coolness was .in truth deeply agitated ' "Yes," he said, in answer to my remark, "you have seen me miss my mark before Watson I have an in-" stlnct for such things, and yet it has sometimes played me false. It seemed a . certainty when first it flashed across my mind in the cell at Winchester, but one drawback of an active mind is that one can always conceive alternative explanations which would make our scent a false one. And yet and yet Well, Watson, we can but try-" As he walked he had firmly tied

one end of the string to the handle of the revolver. We had now reached

in that schoolroom of Sorrow where our earthly lessons are taught." Next The Adventure of the Red Circle. (Copyright, 1022, by The MeClnre Newspaper Syndicate).

physical or in a merely mental sense

seems to have been equally unforgivable in her eyes. No doubt she blamed this innocent lady for all those harsh dealings and unkind words with which her husband tried to repel her too demonstrative affection. Her first resolution was to end her own life. Her second was to do it in such a way as to Involv3 her victim in a fate

which was worse far than any sudden death could be. "We can follow the various steps

In an instant it had been whisked away by the weight of , the stone, had struck with a sharp crack against the parapet, and had vanished over the side into the water. It had hardly gone before Holmes was kneeling beside the stonework, and a joyous cry showed that. he had found what he had expected. "Was there ever a more exact demonstration?," he cried. "See, Watson, your revolver has solved the problem!" As he spoke he pointed to a second chip of the exact size and shape of the first which had appeared on the tinder edge of the stone balustrade.

opposite to me we had a first-class carriage to ourselves and laying a hand upon each of my knees he

looked into my eyes with the pecul

iarly mischievous gaze , which waj characteristic of his more imp-like

moods.

"Watson," said he. "I nave some

recollection that you go armed upon

these excursions of ours." It was as well for him that I did so, for he took little care of his own safety when his mind was once absorbed by a problem, so . that more than once my revolver had been a good friend in need. I reminded him of the fact. "Yes, yes, I am a little absentminded in such matters. But have you your revolver on you?" I produced it from my hip-pocket, a short, handy, but very serviceable little weapon. He undid the catch, shook out tho" cartridges, and examined it with care. "It's heavy remarkably heavy"

said he. "Yes, it is a solid bit of work." He mused over it for a minute. "Do you know, Watson," said he, "I believe your revolver i3 going to have a very intimate connection with the mystery which we are investigating." "My dear Holmes, you are joking." "No, Watson, I am very serious. There is a test before U3. If the test comes off, all will be clear. And

the test will depend upon the con

duct of this little weapon. One cartridge out Now we will replace the

The papers may a3k why the mere was not dragged in the first place but it is easy to be wise after the event, and in any case the expanse of a reed-filled lake is no easy matter to drag unless you have a clear perception of what you are looking for and where. Well, Watson, we have helped a remarkable woman, and also a formidable man. Should they in the future join their forces, as seems not unlikely, the financial world may find that Mr. Neil Gibson has learned something

"Well stay at the inn tonight," he continued, as he rose and faced the astonished sergeant "You will, of course, get a grappling hook and you will easily restore my friend's revolver. You will also find beside it the revolver, string, and weight with which this vindictive woman attempted to disguise her own crime and to fasten a charge of murder upon an innocent victim. You can let Mr. Gibson know that I will see him in the morning, when steps can be taken for Miss Dunbar's vindication."

Late that evening, as we sat together smoking our pipes in the village inn, Holmes gave me a brief

review of what had passed. "I fear, Watson" said he, "thai

DON'T SPOIL YOUR CHILD'S HAIR BY WASHING IT

When you wash your child's hair be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too muca alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. v . The best thing to use is Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It is very cheap and beats anything else all to

pieces.

Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsifled in a cup or glass with a little warm water is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rubs out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and s soft fresh looking, brightfluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Resides it loosens and taxes out every particle of dust dirt and dandruff. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Advertisement.
