TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
You should be able in execution
with powers of resource; endowed
with a receptive mind, you should
make a mark in the world. There is
an indication of indolence or an in
clination to depend too much upon
others; do not allow this to get con
trol of you, for it is fatal to the proper
operation of your inherent qualities.
There is also an indication of consid
erable means, without much desire
to add to them.

CHAPTER SZ
POINTER DROPPED the little
object back in its envelope as though
of no importance. "That’s saved us
a great deal of trouble. As soon as
the case is over we’ll send it back
to you.”
Lady Ida smiled again, and ’again
Pointer noticed teeth whose rounded
edges could no more have made
those savage marks than a kitten
could leave a tiger’s scoring on a
piece of baric A young man burst
in at that moment with the air of
one running in to save a family
heirloom in a tire. Flinging open a
bookcase, he seized a volume and
would have dashed out again, b e
Lady Ida stopped him.
"Luttrell, put that down a minute
We’ve just had an awful piece of
news. This is a chief inspector from
Bcotland Yard—my son. Luttrell
Westmacott.”
The young man in question turned
r pleasant, freckled face on the
visitor.
“Is myrmidon spelled with a *y* or
an T? If It’s T ”
“Mr. Tait has just died, Luttrell.”
his mother went on. The expert in
crosswords dropped a book, and
stood without picking it up, staring
blankly at his mother.
“But I thought he was here only
this morning.” he expostulated, and
by the remark gave the apparent
measure of his brains, in appearance
borne out by his weak, good-natured,
silly face and weak, wide, good
natured, silly smile, a smile, however,
that showed quite a useful double
row of ivory. Pointer eyed them as
intently as a dentist. ’They did not
come up to his standard as regards
size. .
Luttrell made other horrified, inane
remarks and asked for details.
Pointer left it to his mother to pass
on all the information she had ob
tained. ,
“Gan you tell me where Mr. Tait
was lunching today?” he asked,
when this was done.
Luttrell said that he had not seen
Mr. Tait this morning. “He only
came for a talk with my mother,” he
explained. Lady Ida professed to
have no Idea what Mr. Tait’s en
gagements were, they had only
talked of his coming marriage. How
long had Mr. Tait been at the house?
She gave 11 exactly to a quarter
past as the time. Pointer apologized
for the next questions which were
a* to their own movements until
three today. Not that it really mat
tered, but he learned that neither had
left the house. The day was bad.
and had kept most people indoors
until well past the hour when Tait
had stumbled, flung the deeply-bitten
fold top of a fountain pen out of his
pocket, and then died.
There were plenty of artificial
flowers In the room where they
were. Tall lilies coiled on their own
green stems rising from black Chi
nese bowls. A couple were at
Pointer’s elbow—fie had chosen his
seat to be near them. As he talked,
he fingered them absent-mindedly,
but though of glass, they were
blown, and firm, and waxen, smoot.
to the touch. Would that be true,
however, of any other artificial
flowers that might be found in the
other rooms?
He left with the certainty that
liady Ida was deeply perturbed, but
that her son did not share this feel
ing. As to her explanation for the
reason for Tait’s call. It certainly
failed to convince. But it was diffi
cult to imagine what reason there
could be which called for a He on
her part and an erasure in Tait’s
engagement book. Business it would
hardly seem to be. . . . Apart from
other things, she was not a business
woman, nor had any fortune of her
cwn. It was not political, one would
think . . . though this was possible.

Lawrence, Rev. Edward Hunt Good,
Rev. Mark H. Milne and Rev. Joseph
H. Fletcher.
Most of tne afternoon session was
devoted to hearing reports and to set
tling a number of business affairs.
Bishop Penick was authorized to re
new the lease on Vade Mecum, the
diocese camp near Winston Salem.
“Miss Dundas has nothing to do with me now.”
that no chance curiosity should
know that he was going to see Lady
Ida had, to Pointer, rather the look
of his being the bearer of a message
from the brother-in-law. An ulti
matum of some sort? Why had not
the absent millionaire sent it him
self? Apparently the call had been
in response to a request of Westma
cott’s, not one of whose letters had
been found, so far. among Tait’s
papers. Was it possible that the
blank space was not due to Tait
himself, but to some one else? At
any rate, the deletion had been
made, so had the call, and now Lady
Ida was alarmed, not merely grieved,
if grieved at all. by the news of the
caller's sudden end.
A second woman was afraid when
she heard that John Tait was dead.
And though there wae no comparison
in the degree of fright, therefore,
quite probably, none in its origin, the
fact remained, and the chief inspec
tor brooded on its origin or origins,
as he got into his small swift car.
At the Yqrd Superintendent Hart
moor was out, and had not yet
therefore learned that a mate had
been found to the glove left in Lord
Mills’ room, but one of his men had
a piece of information for the chief
inspector. Among Lord Mills’ papers
were some dealing with the letting to
a Mrs. de Souza of a villa tt Capri
about two years ago, at a price which
was remarkably high. The house in
question had come to Lord Mills
from a relative. Judging by the let
ters, a personal acquaintance be
tween himself and the lady had come
about as the outcome of the trans
action, though, apparently, but of the
usual invitation-to-dinner-now-and
then kind.
So Gillian Dundas was linked,
through Mrs. de Souza, with Lord
Mills, and through her own action,
or chance, with John Tait. Her
studio was on Pointer’s list of ports
of call, but he decided to see Mrs.
de Souza first, as he did not wish to
ask for a description of her from
any inmate of Great Cumberland
place.
He had got her address from Gil
lian, and now drovq there. She was
in, and he sent in his own personal
card with a word to the effect hat
he “called about Miss Dundas’ refer
ences".
He was shown Into a most expen
sive room, where Mrs. de Souza, with
a look of sleepy good nature on her
face, was petting an overfed Pekm

It Was announced by Rex. ean
Andre Vache, of Greensboro, who is
camp director, that $21,000 has been
spent by the Winston-Salem founda
tion in improvements at the camp
since the diocese took it over three
years ago.
There was much discussion on the
church pension fund. A letter from
national headquarters of the fund
showed that the fund had since its
establishment paid out more than
$10,000,000 and that, the record of col
lecting 99 1-2 per cent of penfeion
assessments to take what action is
necessary to protect the interest of
widows and families of the deceased
clergymen from the standpoint of the
pension.
Praise for Sewanee
Dr. W. S. Knickerbocker, of the
University of the South, brought the
special message at the morning ses
sion, painting a picture of Sewanee as
“unique not for its smallness, its lib
eral arts or its cosmoplitan quality,
not because it is a church college or
is on a mountain, but because it nas
that ertain and intelligent exercise of
animal faith which is religion.”
In an effort to do its part toward
making up the deficit in mission
funds, the convention decided to work
with other diocesan organizations to
raise the needed money. A committee
to plan for this activity is composed
of Stephen Burroughs, of Winston-
Salem; Herman H. Hardison, of
ese—also expensive She was still ©*
the young side of 40, but her face
looked as though it had suffered
from over-steaming, or over-massage
in the past, or else too many late
hours and cocktails.
“Miss Dundas has nothing to do
with me now,” she began at once, in
an excited, high-pitched voice, but
the voice of an English woman none
the less. “She left me without any
notice, and is companion now to an
other lady. And I never give two
references.”
Pointer wondered why she troo*
bled to see him in that case. But it
w'as possible that it was only a
woman’s curiosity that had procured
him the interview.
He did not wish lo be detained by
giving an account of Mr. Tait’s death,
so he merely bowed and said that he
apologized for having disturbed Mrs.
de Souza for nothing. But she would
not be content. “But why have .mu
come to me? How did you hear of
me? Miss Dundas left me days ago.
. . . Has she applied for a job with
you? A Mrs. Burnham whom we
met at Vichy took her on . .
Fointer was in a hurry. He apolo
gized again, and fairly tore himself
away from the lady, w r ho seemed ex
traordinarily unwilling to let him go.
When she heard of Tait’s death, sup
posing she did not already know of
it, she would understand why a Mr.
Pointer was interested in Miss Dun
das’ more recent past, and Pointer
intended to have a long talk with
her in the near future. But for the
moment all he wanted was to see
the lady who had rented Lord Mills
villa. This being done, he drove rap
idly off in the opposite direction, t#
turn back on his tracks and make
for Miss Dundas’ studio, He found
that you turned off Knfghtsbridge
proper, down a little alley, and into
a square surrounded hv dingy old
houses, all of them used as offices.
The house in which was the room
that Miss Dundas claimed to use as
a studio had a back entrance as well,
approached from the direction es
what will always remain in the mind
of old Londoners as Tattersall s.
Here, too, as it happened, was an
almost unobserved little alley, and
several shops. It might be merely
chance, but certainly no fortune
teller anxious not to come to grips
with the law could have chosen a
better little dive.

A plan to change the boundaries of
the diocese was left for consideration
at a later date, since it was not Oc
lieved to be wise to take the matter
up at this time. Memorials of mem
bers of the clergy who have died since
the last convention were read.
Rev. D. A. McGregory, New York,

afternoon.
