"When we set our thoughts down In
written form,' says Professor Forrest
W. J.unt. H i., Instructor of English
In Horace Mann School, Teachers'
College, Columbia University, "we are
without the aids of voice and manner
to make clear what we are trying
to say. Our thoughts must be un
derstood because the relations which
exist between the various parts of our
»< ntences ore clear. If the relations
between the parts of our sentences
are not clear, the thoughts wo are
trying to express will not be under
stood.” This In Professor hunt's In
troduction In The New Universities
Dictionary to his article on "Practical
Syntax." which shows readers of this
new dictionary how to bull correct
at ntences.
"flood usage, common practice, so
ciety— whetever you wll bas decided
what Is good form, what Is proper. In |
this field of syntax. Just as It has In '
morals, etiquette or fashions," con
tlnussc Professor Hunt; "therefore, |
the man or woman who has occasloln
to set his thoughts down In wilting
should observe th> common practice,
the universally understood rules which
govern the relationship of words. If
he falls to do this, or If he attempts
to make his own rules, he wll ha
enns'dered without the pale of rtdtur.
ed educated people From thla It will
be seen that the ability to conatruet
s-ntences properly Is hardly less Im
portant than the power to apeak."

Ancestor worship
The Chinese pray to their ancestors. But they do
more than that. They allow themselves to be guided
by family tradition in their every thought and action.
The principal difficulty facing the introduction of
modern improvements into China is the universal ob
jection: “This is not as our fathers did.”
Imagine saying that we did not want electricity
because our forefathers were satisfied with candles.
Though we never went as far as the Chinese, our
conservatism in the past often went to considerable
lengths. Think of the telephone, or the motor car. How
much encouragement did they get at first?
Advertising more than anything else has made of
us a nation willing to judge something new on its merits
rather than on narrow; ancient traditions.
Advertising today is as necessary as electricity,
sanitation and rapid transit. It is more than the sys
tem by which we are kept informed of every new im
provement that is to our advantage. It is the catalog
wherein, every day, all manner of articles are listed for
us with their individual advantages.

An autopsy reveals that Ray
nor was also being systemati
cally poisoned with arsenic.
Lionet Raynor, son of Douglas
Raynor, cornea to claim his
father’s estate. Finley and Or
ville Kent are talking when
Goddard and Detective Dobbins
approach them. “The one most
benefited by the death of the
victim it Mrs. Raynor,” eaya
Dobbins.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
‘‘She's not benefited at nil," said
Orry coolly. "Hlic’a practically cut
off--"
"She didn’t know that until after
the deed was done,” returned Dob
bin*, "and I don't moan financially

unhappy with her husband, she had
tried for some time to take his life
by administering a alow, cumula
tive poison. Not succeeding, and
urged on by the reappearance of
her former suitor, which, I admit,
made the attitude of her husband
harder to bear, Mrs. Raynor became
desperate and ended her bondage,
for It was bondage, by shooting her
tryant.”
"Hut you accuse me of the shrrot-
Ing,” said Finley. “Only my finger
prints were found on the revolver,
I’m told."
"That was a clever stunt of yours,
Mr. Finley," and the detective look
ed at him with a sort of grudging
admiration, "I believe you picked up
that pistol. Just as you say you
did—and, I believe that you had
seen who dropped It—who fired it,
as well—and, to have her you were
quick-witted enough to whip out
your handkerchief and polish off
all finger marks except your own.
It was an Ingenious dodge, and It
worked—ln shat It eliminated the
prints of Mrs. Raynor’s fingers.
Rut you can’t get ahead of me. Mr.
Finley—l'm onto your little
games."
The astounded, even crestfallen
look which Malcoln Finley was not
quite quick enough to hide, seemed
to corrobrate the opinions of the
detective.
"Cut It out, Dobbins,” said Orville
Kent, sternly; "perhaps you have
some reason to suspect my sister of

giving tablets of some sort to Mr.
Raynor, but you have no evidence to
warrant such a suspicion as you
are now suggesting! My sister was
out on the west terrace at the time
that shot was fired—”
Now, now. Mr. Kent, how dp you
know that? You, yourself, were down
on the bridge a good three hundred
yards away and you know noth
ing of the situation except by hear
say— ’’
"Well, there’s no truth In the
statement that my sister shot—"
"Oh, shut up, Kent,” said Ezra
Ooddatd, Impatiently. “We Know
your love and loyalty for your sister
prompts all this defense of her, but
It doesn’t get us anywhere.’”
"Well, we’re going to get some
where,” declared Dobbins, "and
mighty quick, too. I’ll take up the
poisoning business first. We have
everything to prove that—except
Mrs. Raynor’s own confession —
which we can hardly expect.”
"What’s your proof?” demanded
Kent. *
“We have found four different
people who saw Mrs. Raynor fur
tively slip something Into her hus
band's tea or coffee cups, we have
a book on poisons concealed In her
bookcase, and we have found tab
lets hidden in a vase In her bed
room which, when analyzed, were
found to be arsenic. Add to this the
symptoms "of arsenical poisoning
observed in Mr. Raynor for some
time before he, died. ar.» state if
you can, any flaw 4n my reasoning,
from the facts that Mrs. Raynor
poisoned her husband.”
"Granting all that," Malcolm Fin
ley said, "you’ve no real case
against Mrs. Raynor. Douglas Ray
nor was not killed by poison, he
was shot; and your connection of
Mrs. Raynor with that shooting Is a
figment of your Imagination. I was
on the spot within a minute after
the shot was fired—l know Mrs.
Raynor was out on the west terrace
•—I will swear—"
"Save your perjury until you are
railed on for if, Mr. Finley.” and
Dobbins looked at him gravely.
"I haven't perjured myself yet—
save your advice until I do. But
' here’s another thing. Mr. Dobbin*.
All you say regarding Mrs. Raynor
might apply equally to somebody
else. As to the shooting, it would he
just as logical to suspect Miss Tur
ner, say, for she was nearer the
spot where Mr. Raynor fell than Ills
wife was. You say I wiped finger
prints from that weapon. May they
not have been those of the nurse?"
“She had no motive—Mrs. Raynor
'Motive is a good deal, but It
1 Isn't everything," Finley persisted.
“Again, ns the to tablets. Suppose
Mrs. Raynor was giving her hus
band simple tablets—soda or some
thing—and suppose some one else,
■ say n disgruntled servant, was ad
ministering the poison. Then
wouldn’t the most likely thing he
for the poisoner to 'plant' the
poison In a vase In Mrs. Raynor's
room —"
"Dook here, Mr. Finley, you re
romancing altogether too much. I
haven’t time for such balderdash,
i If you or anybody else, has any
[ facts to communicate to me. go
ahead, but otherwise, T must go
on with my proceedings against
Mrs. Raynor. If she Is really lnno-
I cent, it must come out—if she's
guilty—it must be shown. Justice
must he done."
In the meantime, Nan Raynor, at
her wits’ end as to what course to
pursue, was walking In the Italian
I garden. As she paced the flower
| bordered walks, she marveled at
I the desolate position In which she
l found herself.
i Her brother loved her—hut after
i all. Orry seemed to he more like a
| child, than a source of help or
j strength. Malcolm Finley loved her
| —bust Just now he was the last
one to apply to.
Miss Raynor was a weather vane.
Now she seemed fond of Nan, and
resented her suspicions of her, and
the next minute she would he voic
ing the same suspicions herself.
As Nan walked along, her hands
elapsed behind her, her eyes cast
down, she was Joined by Grlmshaw
Gannon.
She had never liked the old man,
hut at her husband's especial com
mand. she lind always been court
eous to him. She had never under
stood the link that bound these two
Illy assorted natures, hut she
couldn't help seeing there was one.
For, occasionally. Gannon wotita
come up to the house and be closet
ed an hour or so with Raynor, after
which episode Ravnor would he un
usually harsh to Nan. Ry this she
knew that the relations between
the two men were not amicable;
for It was always after Raynor had
had an unpleasant Interview with
aomebody else, that he vented his
Irritability on Ills wife.
And ao. In neeordanre with her
usual habit. Nan nodded a greeting
to Gannon and said a pleasn\t good
1 morning.
I "You know. Mrs. T&aynor." h» he
; gan, Abruptly. "I know a lot about
iyour husband.”
"I suppose so. Mr. Gannon."
"He was a hard man, ma’am, a
very hard man."
Nan’s big. mournful eves lifted
for a moment to the rugged face of
I the man beside her.
j "If you have nnythtng To tell me.
Mr. Gannon, please do so. If not I
, prefer not to have my solitude In
truded on.”
"Lay off the hotty-toily language,
mu’ant. I'm plain-spoken mvself,
and I've a plain word to say.”
"Sav It then, please.” Nan eald,
wearily.
"Well. It’s Just this. Young Ray
nor haa come here to make trou
ble for you ma'am."
j "Has he?”
"Ye*, he haa, and I know It. Tou
know he's going to take all hia fath
er's property, and you don't get any.
j See?”
"What do you know about that
will. Mr. Gannon?” Nan turned sud-
I denly and fired the question at
I him ao quickly that he was decided

■ "Me? Me?—" be stammered.
“Why, I don’t know nothing,
ma'am.”
"You wouldn’t be flustered if you
had a clear consclense! NoA', what
do you know about that will that
you witnessed—and that you said
ypu dldtj’t witness? I am sure you
know something—”
"What’s It worth to you, ma’am,
for me to tell you what I know?”
"It Isn’t worth one dollar—ln
money—ls that Is your meaning—
but I can tell you. it will be worth
all your peace of minS for you to

"Peace of mind —now, I dunno,
