If you are not convinced of this fact, ask Mr. Garth when be comes." When Garth arrived from Phlladel phis he was sympathetic and kind in a really comforting way. He called for a conference at once, and gathered about him. the widow, her father and brother, and sent for Madame Malden, If she chose to appear. She did not, however, and deputised Perllla to take her place. Farman wa* of course. presedL and the family doctor, whose name was Spurgeon. The talk was entirely Informal, and Garth, as lawyer for Corey Malden, told the others bow matters stood' financially. The will would be read oa Friday, after the funeral service* and ar there were many small bequests to friends and to servant* he would not bore them with these minor matter* The chief point was that the large part of Corey Maiden’s enormous fortune was bequeathed to his wife, with s smaller but gwxlly amount to his mother, this to revert to the wife at the mother's , death. There was staple excess to leave funds for keeping up the beautiful estate of Malden iNMMk Garth. Antony Gaskell and Richard Carleton were executives and trustees for Perllla and Madame Malden. Perllla waa glad she had met Dick Carleton in Washington, be waa no kind and friendly. Tony, of course, she already knew, and Garth was a splendid man. There was much more’talk and red tape matters were discussed. When luncheon was announced the conference broke up. though there were soine questions yet to be settledAfter lunch. Garth asked Perilla to go for a stroll with him through the garden* He tried to express bls deep sorrow for her In her grief, which for the moment must be stifled. He knew what a relief It would be to her when Mie could relax and give way to her emotion* "You do understand." she said. *ll Is hard for me, I am so alone, even though my people are here.

Lucky you stopped that morning and fixed up the will" Garth looked at her. How lovely she wa* with her shining chestnut curl* and her sparkling eye* veiled now by the realisation of what she was going through. Surely, surely, there could be no evil In that heart, no disloyalty to the one she had loved so well. Garth yearned to get her out of this place, this danger hole, where snakes of venomous type glided about “You're leaving right after the funeral tomorrow?” he said. "So immediately that 1 fear It will bother them. But 1 don’t want to bear the will read again, and most of all 1 don’t want to meet relatives and friends who will look at me curiously—or worse."

Malcolm came up to see her. and advised her to stay where she wa* When Mr. Farman came Perllla refused to see him. saying she had retired for the night She felt a dread rather than a dislike of the man, but at any rate sbe determined not to see him next morning. 11 she could help it As it turned ouL she couldn’t help it Before rhe was entirely dressed word came to her to come downstairs as soon as possible.

Pay strict attention and answer carefully." “Certainly, Dad," she returned, showing no excitement "I will be spokesman." announced Farman. “as It is In regard to a matter that Interests me." Perilla settled upon him a most irritating stare, which sbe did not remove. “You are familiar with drug* Mr* Malden F be asked. “Not at all, scientifically. If that te what you mean." “Ah.

"I do not know." , “Have you ever seen It beforeF “No." Again that unbelievable negative. But Perilla was thinking. Must she take thia on her shoulder* too? Might she not tell the truth In this Instance? But sbe bad no choice. Sarah, who had been listening at the door, stepped inside. “1 can tell you about that" she said “It belongs to Madame Malden, not to my mistress Madame Malden brought It last night Into Mr* Mai den’s room, and left it there She was about to shake its contents Into MU» Perilla’s glass of drinking water, when I stopped her.

I can’t get along without Jane.” “Oh. ye* you can. Let’s say. for a month or two, anyway. She can run around here when you want her specially. And maybe she can get you another golden girl such as sbe I*” “Well, we’ll see about It,” and Mr* Lovell sighed. Perilla knew she had won her point, so she dropped the subject. “Now we’ll have luncheon," she ordered. “and then we’ll have what I find they call a conference. Ob, mother I It’s all too dreadful! Don’t pity me, or even sympathize; if you do. Til break down.” The two tactful women quite understood this and no reference was made to matters at Malden House, until Perllla chose to makgJJj^x - *' Perilla was so near collapse that it seemed no hardship to remain in bed. When she felt equsl to the strain she took her mother and Jane up to her own little boudoir and told them the whole story. Mr. Lovell and Malcolm came In the late afternoon, having spent the night before with Garth In his Philadelphia home. “A splendid man, that Garth." declared Lovell. “He’s taken over all Perilla’s busines* and she couldn’t have a better lawyer. You won’t have to worry about anything, dear." Y “Not anything, dadF “I hope not We won't go into matters now." “Better have it out. dad," said Malcolm. who well know Perilla’s persistency. . ■ “Tell ’em what you like, lad. Me for a bath and a bit of rest,” be said as he left them. "Was there any more talk of—of—” but Perilla couldn't go on. “Nothing but. However, 1 think we put the kibosh on that You must know, mother and Jane, that Corey’s mother Is not s—welt not sn affable person.

"Well, to begin with, she vowed that packet of cyanide was your* and of course we all know It was her* and she said you meant to kill her with it and we know she meant to kill you with it" “And you let her put it over?” “Well, see here.

She say* and there be those who half agree with her, since Perilla was alone in that hotel room with Corey, and as Corey was declared sound In wind and limb by competent doctor* that the only theory Is that Perllla, in some manner and for some reason. killed him in some mysterious way."

But she Is san* the doctors declare, and a strong hate or even an unfounded suspicion cannot be regarded as insanity.” “What are you going to do about ItF asked Jan* « “Nothing for the moment In fact, the longer we remain silent.

Bible record about Christ written by Saint John himself, author of the New Testament Gospel of St. John? Possibility that the extremely old Bible manuscript which has come to light in Rylands library. Manchester, may have this astonishing significance is seen by an archeologist here, who is keenly interested In the discovery. That the small fragment of papyrus is the oldest New Testament manuscript ever discovered Is agreed by British expert* Dates From Second Century. Suggesting additional importance for the ancient fragment, Sir Frederick Kenyon, former director of the British museum, and authority on Biblical research, stated In an exclusive interview : “I have little that the fragment dates from the 'Second century, possibly the early half. Allowing about a generation of time for making tMs copy In Egypt, one would suspect the Gospel written about the year to 95 A. D. This does not exclude the possibility that St. John the apostle himself was the writer. “Naturally, the only way to date the 1 fragment is by an examination of th? 1 writing, but several experts on ancient manuscripts are satisfied that it is 1 correctly described.” 1 Written in Greek. How the ancient fragment reached Manchester is not yet known, but it ' may have come from Oxyrhynchu* in 1 upper Egypt, where sayings of Jesus were discovered in 1897. The section of the Book of John now discovered 1 deals with Christ's appearance before Pilate. It consists of verses fn Greek > from tbe eighteenth chapter—part of verses 31 and 33 on one side and verses 37 and 38 on the other. It was written in book form, not In scrolled manuscript Tbe fragment’s estimated age sets it 200 years earlier than the famous ; Codex Sinaiticu* which Is a Fourth century Greek Bible consisting of the 1 entire New Testament and less than belt of the Old Testament It is also ' earlier than the Bible pages kfiown as the Chester Beatty papyri, which have recently been coming to light in Egypt and acquired eagerly by British and 1 American scholar* Leaves of this Bible manuscript are not generally believed to be earlier than 200 A.

Jungle Tribe Has Strange Ways With Brides, Killers Explorer Brings News 6 of Venezuelan Life PHILADELPHIA.—News of a tribe that has strange ways with murderers, and stranger ways with brides, is ’brought by Dr. Vincenzo Petrullo, anthropologist explorer of the university museum here just returned from leading an expedition into Venezuela. Protection of a powerful chieftain mad'' it possible for the expedition to spend three months in actual contact with this little-known people, the Guajiro Indians, Doctor Petrullo declared In an exclusive interview. The expedition was conducted jointly by the university museum of the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia university and the Latin-American institute. A Guajiro Indian of high degree pay# a great deal for his wif^— whom he has never laid eyes on. Doctor Petrullo learned. Marriageable girls are kept locked up, seen only by their famine* At the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom still does not behold his brid* Nine days later, he sees her for the first time by daylight, although he has spent the nine nights after the ceremony with his wife, entering and leaving the room in darkness. Women “Going Modern.” But eves Guajiro women are going modern, for Doctor Petrullo was told that this marriage custom is slowly being broken down by the women themselves. ; Guajiro methods of handling crime were also found unusual. If a member of a Guajiro clan slays a member of another and friendly clan, it Is the duty of the murderer's own clan to execute him. No disgrace is attached to such an execution, and the clans remain friendly. Failure to deal out justice in this way,“ however, is a signal for sharp reprisal. The group victimized by the murder sets out to kill the murderer’s entire family, except the children, whom they take as slave* Originally, Guajiros lived by gathering wild plant* hunting, and perhaps some farming. Doctor Petrullq report* But after Europeans brought horses, catti* donkeys, sheep, and goats into South America, the culture of these Indians changed. They are now pastoral, farming a little when there are rains in their sandy, semidesert country. When They’re Wealthy. A Guajiro measures wealth by the size of a man's herd and flocks, said the anthropologist, and these art acquired chiefly for social display at funeral feast* Thousands of animals may be killed to feed the multitude of guests at one of these occasions. Guajiro Indians never travel alone. A chieftain goes about with half a dozen wet! armed retainers, and If the trip is a long one and the chief very Important, this bodyguard may be Increased. Important women likewise travel accompanied by large retinues of servants and glaves. Columbia U. Takes New Step Toward ‘Painless Dentistry’ NEW YORK.—A new step toward “painless dentistry” seems to have been taken by a Columbia university professor here. The latest development Is the discovery of Dr. L. L. Hartman of a "desensitizer” that does away with the painful sensations during the necessary drilling before a cavity in a tooth can be filled. The desensitizer which Doctor Hartman discovered after nearly twenty years of research is a colorless fluid. Unlike other anesthetics which must be injected into the nerves or plugs of the teeth, Doctor Hartman’s fluid is applied to the dentin, the substance which forms the bulk of the hard part of the teeth. It takes a minute or a minute and a half to take effect apd the pain-killing effect lasts from twenty minutes to an hour, giving plenty of time to prepare almost any cavity for filling. Doctor Hartman explained. There are no unpleasant after effects and the pulp of the tooth remains normal Tbe chemical composition of the desensitizer has not tieen announced and the fluid la still nameless. Patent rights for It have been assigned by Doctor Hartman to Columbia university. It will be on the market soon, and the quality and price will be con-' trolled by the university In order to make it available for general us* Human patients had to serve as “guinea pigs" In the experiments leading .to perfection of the desensitizer, since there is no satisfactory way of testing g pain-killer on a laboratory animal. Discovery of this new kind of anesthetic for use in dental work recalls the fact that dentistry gave anesthetics to the world. Ether anesthesia was first used in tbe extraction of a tooth before its famous trial for a surgical operation at the Massachusetts general hospital. Boston. In 184 ft William Thomas Green Morton, who gave ether Its first public demonstration u a surgical anesthetic, had been a dentist before he studied medicin* Even Greeks of Old Drank at Sport Events LOS ANGELES.—When university presents worry about drinking at modem football games and other sport spectacles they are struggling with a problem that had ancient Greeks also losing sleep at night.

11 x Indians Stage a Rally ; Population on Increase The records of the United States government show that in 1865 there were 294,574 Indians on reservation* In 189 L the number had dropped to 246,834; but, after that low point, the Indian brought his total population up to 320,454 in 1933. The total number of Indians in the United States and Canada today is 443,365. or more than half the number estimated to have roamed the continent before the coming of the white man.
