It is undoubted ly the blessed saints who stopped the train. Jump. Hastings, but lump. I tell you." In an instant he had unfasten ed the carriage door, and jumped out on the line. ? Throw out the suit-cases and jump yourself." I obeyed him. Just in time. As I alighted beside him. the train j moved on. "And now Poirot." I said, in some exasperation, "pehaps you will tell me what all this is about." "It is my friend, that I have seen the light." "That." I said, "is very illumin i ating to me. "It shouid be." said Poirot. "but | I fear?I very much fear that it j is not. If you can carry two of I j these valises, I think I can man- [ age the rest." Fortunately the train had stop ped near a station. A short walk brought us to a garage where we were able to obtain a car. and 1 half an hour later we were spin ning rapidly back to London. Then, and not til then, did Poirot design to satisfy my curiosity. "You do not see? No more did j I But I see now. Hastings. I was j . being got out of the way." "What!" "Yes. Very cleverly. Both the place and the method were chos en with great knowledge and acu men. They were afraid of me." "Who were?" "Those four geniuses who have : banded themselves together to work outside of the law. A China- I man. an American, a Frenchwo- i man. and?another. Pray the good I God we arrived back in time! Hastings." "You think there is danger to our visitor?" "I am sure of it." Mrs. Pearson greeted us on ar rival. Brushing aside her ecstasies j of astonishment on beholding Poirot. we asked for information. It was reassuring. No one had called, and our guest had not j made any sign. ! With a sigh of relief we went up i I to the rooms. Poirot crossed the outer one and went through to the inner one. Then he called me. his voice strangely agitated. "Hastings, he's dead." I came running to join him. The man was lying as we had left him. but he was dead, and i had been dead some time. I rush ed out for a doctor. Ridgeway, I j knew, would not have returned yet. I found one almost immed iately. and brought him back | with me. "He's dead right enough, poor chap. Tramp you've been be Iriending. eh?" "Something of the kind." said Poirot evasively. "What was the cause of death, doctor?" "Hard .to say. Might have been some kind of fit. There are signs of asphyxiation. No gas jet open, is there?" "No electric light?nothing." "And both windows wide open, too. Been dead about two hours. I j should say. You'll notify the pro- ! per people, won't you?" He took his departure. Poirot did some necessary telephoning. Finally, scmewhat to my surprise, he rang up our old friend Inspec tor Japp. and asked him if he could possibly come around. No sooner were these proceed ings completed than Mrs. Pearson appeared, her eyes as round as saucers. "There's a man here from 'An well?from the 'Sylum. Did you ever? Shall I show him up?" We signified assent and a big burly man in uniform was ush ered in. " Morning, gentlemen." he said cheerfully. "I've got reason to be lieve you've got one of my birds here. Escaped last night, he did." "He was here." said Poirot quietly. asked the keeper, with some con cern. "Not got away again, has he?" "He is dead." The man looked more relieved than otherwise. "You don't say so. Well. I dare say it's best for all parties." (To Be Continued) Poirot prompted eagerly: "Number Four"? His eyes were fastened on the stranger's face. The latter gasped: "The Destroyer!" STAR SIGNALS BY OCT A VINE Fop persons who bollevo that human destiny Is guided oy the planot, the dally horoscope It outlined by a noted a?tro~ logur.

Nov. 2?Election may be here tomorrow and the fate of nations may be in the balance, but what's that got to do with yesterday? Never was there such a day in Chowan, a day to bring forth all the poetry in a man's soul, a day preceded by an equal ly gorgeous night with a full Halloween moon, mellowed in bril liant gold, with a rim of silver, its shadows carved out with clear distinctness, to make it all ihe more beautiful. And about the countryside, tall trees stood forth like cathedral apires pointing sharp toward the skies. The breath of frost became apparent as the darkness waned pnd the guardian angels of the sky tripped softly about their task (if putting the candles of the stars away. A sudden riot of color in the cast and it was sunrise. Squirrels scamperel after nuts in the oaked woods of Cowpen Neck.

Praise Child for His Efforts to Succeed By JANE HERBERT COWARD pOUR-YEAR-OLD PAUL is un * dergoing a change which his mother cannot quite fathom. She thinks he may be getting lazy. But the idea of laziness in a child so young is ox course far fetched ? the pre-school child being the very soul of activity. He cannot s i t still, and he is too richly en dowed with curiosity and imagination, if he is a normal child, to be in urs coward different to life around him. What is the matter with Paul, then? Why suddenly does he turn to his mother to put on his shoes and socks and button his clothes? Why does he say. "I can't." when reproved for his helplessness? Yesterday he dropped something and asked mother to pick it up for him; he couldn't bend. Another time he could not open the door. Paul's loss of Interest in doing things for himself indicates a stubborn streak suggestive of the negative stage through which many children of his age pass. During this stage the child says "no" to everything, even when cake is passed and he wants a piece. This odd streak in Paul, like negativeness. often crops out when a child is subjected to too much supervision. Perhaps when Paul was pulling on his socks or but toning his clothes his way. mother was in the habit of saying. "No, Paul, give it a twist the other way." Or. "How do you expect to do it right sitting down? Stand up." At the age of four a child's individuality definitely begins to assert itself. If he says. "I can't," when you know he can. it is a sign of rebellion. Children like to do things b? themselves and for themselves But no child can stand always be ing wrong. His "best" is an honest effort, regardless of what you mav think of the result. It is the par ent's place, therefore, to say some thing encouraging even when she cannot honestly give full praise NOVEL SWEATERS j Copyright.

CITY OPERATION I OF PIN BOARDS FOR IDLE URGED Fort Wohth. Tex. ?(U.R)? Municipal ownership of marble boards estimated to net $540,000 a year in Fort Worth is advocated by City Manager George D. Fair trace. That was Fairtrace's reply to a city council query on what to do with marble boards. The z.ow privately owned machines now in Port Worth bring an annual pro fit of more than half a million dollars to operators. The city manager said that sum would put the city welfare service in ':>xel lent condition. For years, officials in Port Worth and other Texas cities have / pondered the legality of slot ma chines and marble devices. Most large Texas towns peimit their operation in modified fashion pending the outcome of much delayed litigation in the courts. Port Worth itself is marking time until the Texas court of criminal appeals defines the anti gambling statue. Marble boards are operated throughout the city. 8iot machines of the nickelsto-a quarter variety also are displayed prominently on the Frontier Cen tennial grounds and in some night clubs. >, Police recently told city officials flatly that they could do nothing as long as city licenses were is sued for the skill-or-chance der vices.

Autumn Breakfast Never ] Muffed By Crisp Muffins By JUDITH WILSON Il/ITH breakfast appetites perk " ing up, these autumn morn ings why not surprise your family with something extra special in the way of hot muffins, to offset the frosty nip in the air? If you are worried about left overs all you need do is to take a tip from English bakers and add a few drops of glycerine that will keep them moist and fresh for days. You can reheat them later or toast them and no one will sus pect they are not freshly made. See if these muffins will not get your morning off to a brighter start: Date Muffins Sift 1% cups flour with 2 tea spoons baking powder and '/2 tea spoon salt. Cream 4 tablespoons butter, add 4 tablespoons sugar and blend thoroughly. Add 1 well beaten egg. then the flour mixture alternately with 1 cup milk. Beat until smooth. Cut pitted dates to make y2 cup and rub the pieces well with 2 teaspoons glycerine. Add to the muffin mixture and bake in greased muffin tins in a hot oven for 20 minutes. The glyce-ine keeps the dates fresh and moist and prevents the muffins from molding, if you for get and leave them in the bread box a day longer than you ex pected to. Jelly Muffins Make the muffin batter, follow ing the above recipe with the ex ception of the dates. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full of the plain batter. In the center of each place 1 teaspoon currant or grape jelly, pressing it slightly into the batter with the spoon. Bake in a hot oven 20 minutes. A teaspoon of peanut butter pressed into the center of tech muffin also makes an inter esting variation. Popovers Beat 2 eggs slightly. Sift 2 cups flour, remcasure and sift again with \'z teaspoon salt, add to the beaten eggs alternately with 2 cups milk. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter. Beat with an elec tric beater if you have one. If not, beat and beat until the batter is smooth and full of bubbles. Have iron popover pans greased and sizzling hot. Fill 2/3 full of the batter and bake in a hot oven 35 to 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the popovers stand In the oven a few minutes to dry out slightly before serving. Butter Crunch Muffins Split and toast as many English muffins as needed. Spread with the following mixture: Cream to gether y2 cup butter, 1 cup con fectioner's sugar and 1 tablespoon rum flavoring. Place under the broiler until the sugary coating bubbles and browns lightly. Cut in half and serve warm or let them cool slightly, if you want them extra nice. Breakfast Eggs Grease muffin pans thoroughly and into each place 1 tablespoon milk. Break an egg into each compartment, being careful not to break the yolk. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle over each egg 1 tablespoon fine but tered bread crumbs and 1 table spoon grated cheese. Bake in a hot oven about 15 minutes. Serve with strips of bacon or for a 1 luncheon dish with creamed peas or creamed sauted mushrooms and triangles of toast. Potato Dumplings Here is another use for left over mashed potatoes. Cream 1 tablespoon butter, add 1 teaspoon salt and V\ teaspoon nutmeg and the beaten yolks of 4 eggs. Grad ually combine with 2 y2 cups mashed potatoes and 1 cup cracker crumbs. Sift in % cup flour and i fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Shape into balls with well - floured hands and insert 3 i crisp fried croutons in the center i of each ball. Place on top of boil ; ing stew, cover tightly and let boil, i about 10 minutes or until the i dumplings are done.

( Blouses of; Chiffon Are Back Again Br BLEANOR GUNN ? s New York ? It's a long, long Ime since beaded chiffon blouses rere seen on smart women. That's vhj they look so new and so very, ery different, whether in tunio engths or tuck-ins, or in some of he in-between styles whiph in* duded jackets and vests. A fashion of this season which s making a style point of a special Tpe of fabric is the fashion for Itted dinner jackets made of rich material which contrasts with the jown. Brocades in rich subtle jolors and a wide variety of col* Dred thread patternings are being used for this type. Frequently, the fabric is brocaded upholstery tatin. An important angle in these |ackets,is that they are being made frequently by blouse makers uid are being sold as separate Items to be worn with any gown, rhey are good to wear with street length dinner and cocktail frocks since they supply the dressy "top" so often wanted for this type of :ostume. One can hardly fall to notice bow often costumes fail to match above and below the waist line. And then there is the waistline again, this time a very definite one accented cither with a belt or by. a princess cut. I have to report, however, that women seem to play safe by ordering a belt even with frocks intended to be minus one. It is not a bad idea, really, since it provides a change of front. Have you noticed how hard it is to get anywhere near a belt coun* ter and how much gold one glimp ses on them? Gold belts are among the high-lights. There are even more than the usual quota of black or colored leathers with gold studding or buckles but the gold belt Is the last word. Speaking of gold reminds me to report that amber tones are barg ing ahead and are liked, of all things, for evening coats, espe cially those chosen by young so phisticates.
