The Challenge Moffett twisted his lips into an ugly sneer and looked in the other direction. Dale glanced out of the window and saw a man with a small black bag crossing the lawn. He went to the door and directed the physician to the room where Paul Alnsworth was. Then he went back and resumed his search ot Dr. Mot fett's bag. Most of the remaining articles were of little interest, but a murmur of admiration escaped him as he drew out a rope of pearls. He held them at arm's length and Inspected them In the light of the candles. "Gorgeous! " he said softly. And then his lips twisted Into a comical smile. "They .are the same ones, of course. It was very clearly arranged, Moffntt. And it was one of the finest compliments I have ever received. You wouldn't have gone to such lengths unless you had been very much afraid ot me." "I was," Moffett grumbled, and there was a glint of genuine admiration in the hateful gaze he fixed on Dale. "I think I understand Summers was searching the house. You placed "the pearls In the aperture In the : wainscoting, knowing he would find them there. Then, very deftly, youf worked his mind around to murderer would come back fori tbem. So you and Summers went ' to The trap was set for me, of course, but how did you know I was going to walk Into it?" "You did." said Moffett with a shrug. I "But how did you know?" Dale Insisted. Moffett grinned insolently. "Remember the talk we had In the library of my houae? You came there to inquire for Dr. Moffett." He chuckled contemptuously. "I knew then that you were the Picaroon, but I dWnt let on that I knew." "And how did you know?" "I had known It for a month." There was a trace of malicious glee in the doctor's voice. "You visited my house one night in your role of the Picaroon, of course. You didn't find anything of particular value, and so you went away, thinking that your visit bad passed unnoticed. It hadn't though. That night you were followed to your residence. A simple process of putting two and two together made It evident that Martin Dale was the Picaroon." "I see. A rather obvious deduction. I)ut the obvious isn't always true. Well, go on and explain about the trap." "As I said, I knew you were the Picaroon the day you came to my house inquiring for Dr. Moffett. I caught you stealing a glance now and then at the point where there anpeared to be a defect In the wainscoting. Something in your eyes told me you would-be back and Investigate." "Not bad," said Dale.

Just one more question. Moffett or Ferryman, whichever- you prefer. Did these pearls really belong Jo your wife?" "They did," said Moffett shortly.'

Oreat little actress! You persuaded her to imitate your wife's voice and pour those horrible cries and groans into the dictaphone. It wasn't badly done, but you forgot the thunder." "It's a lie!" Moffett shouted, straining violently against . the ropes, "No, it's the truth. Annie told me I had a talk with her after I telephoned Summers. What's more, she is willing to tell the police all she knows." Moffett stared at him In a horrified way. Axelson looked badly shaken. "It's all your fault,", he bleated. "Annie and I only did what you told us." "You rat!" Moffett remarked. Dale fixed his longing eyes on the pearls again.

Dale murmured, "can t get the hang of it even now, but I certainly got things twisted. You can generally trust a woman's instincts. Moffett. They're more reliable than our most brilliant deductions. Ah, Adele came into the stepped up to Dale. room and "Aren't they lovely!" she exclaim ed, sating at the pearls he was fondling. Here eyes shone "How Is the patient?" Dale asked. "He Is sleeping now, The doctor says it isn't at 'all serious, but that we mustn't disturb him for a while." "Do you think he will ever forgive "Forgive you for what?

What can't forgive myself is getting the crazy notion into my head that he was Doctor Moffett." "You actually thought that?" "I did," was Dale's shamefaced confession. "That's what prejudiced me against him at thtart.

The World Series is going to be fought on different ground al together this year and that is In teresting. It is a long time since the Cubs have brought a pennant to Chicago and lQnger since the Mackmen did.

Sept. 11: The League of Nations Assembly meeting this month will consider the scheme for league wireless station submitted recently by the committee of Communications and Transit. This sta tion is Intended primarily to ensure Independent communication for the league In an emergency. The committee's report pointed out that the station would allow for permanent communication being maintained between the seat of the league and countries threatened by conflict. It would ensure direct ommunlcations between-the Sec retariat or the delegations at Gen eva and the government of most of me,State Members of the league or any special missions which the council might send to study the sit uation on the spot tn times of em- rgency.'It would, In general, make possible to avoid utilising the ser vice of third countries, and would nsure for the league the same neasure of Independence with re tard to its telegraphic oommunlca- ions as Is ensured to the govern - nsnts .pf the various countries by their national wireless, stations. As, In times of emergency, the aws of most countries provide for laUonal communication to com? mder the military or naval author ties, the existence of such a sta-lon would be the only means of andKujg.wrcynujjtau&ns connec-ed with the work of the league ln-'.ependent of these authorities. It ould also ensure more rapid communications In times of emergency, is at such times it is inevitable thit national communications should be devoted primarily to meeting the requirements of national defence in the various countries. In normal . times, the station would be responsible for the service of telegrams between the Secretary General and the delegations and as many non-European governments as possible. It would be of the same type as the large stations recently constructed that is, would consist of a short-wave wireless post With with two transmitters equipped for providing the most efficient telegraph service yet evolved with the various stations of the world.
