'ART 7- - 10. THE STORY TO DATE Zelia Blunt is warned by her older second cousin, John Pomfret, against Capt. Broke Castledyne, whohas been escorting Zelia about London. John and Zelia are due to inherit jointly the palatial mansion called Jerricks, just outside of London, after the death of Zeller's maiden aunt, Lady Jane Blunt.. Lady Jane's vast wealth, however, will be left to whom she likes. Capt. Castledyne is invitedby Lady Jane to a house party at Jerricks. She is unaware that he is married to a wealthy woman yeoro older than himself. When Lady Jane discovers thefact she sends, on the advice of her old friend, Lord Alfred, an invitation to Mrs. Castledyne tojoin the party. To the chagrin of both the captain andZella,who have confessed their love foreach other, Mrs.Castle- dyne accepts. JohnPomfret, who secretly adores Zelia, discovers some- thing shady about Capt. Castledyne's war record. At the house party Mrs. Castledyne becomes ill and the captain has a prescription filled for her. Zelia Blunt takes the medicine up to Mrs. Castledyne's maid, Fulmer. Next morning Mrs. Castledyhe is found dead in bed. Fulmer insists that she was murdered. INSTALMENT VII. "MAY I speak to you a minute, mamma?" ••Why, of course, my pet. What is it?" '.rhe young duchess, as she was still called, though she was now well over forty, smiled fondly at her daughter. She was fond and proud of her three sons, but her heart's love wasgiven to this pretty, gentle, intelligent girl, and so far the child had never caused her a moment of pain or unease. ••I want to know if I may ask ZelIa Blunt to stay here for twoor threedays. She saysit has been wretched at Jerricks since that poor lady died there last Sunday week Even the servants are all upsetbe- cause the police came out and asked them tiresome questions. Lady Jane is being very disagreeable, too, be- cause unluckily she got to know this Mrs.Castledyne through ZelIa," '.rhere was a pause. The duchess looked undecided. •• 0, mamma, do let me have her! I am really fond of her, you know, and she took a lot of trouble over our dance," Over our dance? My dar-ling child, I don't know what you mean," "Don't you remember how we had to get four men, all in a hurry, at the last moment? It was ZelIa who got them for us. I know she took a lot of trouble. Even as it was, we hadn't enough men." " Very well, my deal', go and tell her that of course we shall be very pleased to put her up for as longas she cares to stay. ButTara, my pet'!" (C Yes, mamma "" •.Dcn't allow her to teach you to smoke! " ..Shewouldn't think of doing such a thing, mamma! " And she danced away, full of de- light thatZelIa might be her guest. T HE three days that followed did Zella good, physically and mentally. It might almostbe added spiritually, too. But what made those three days memorable, and especially when she recalled them afterward, was that not a single person made the smallest al- lusion to Mrs. Castledyne's unexpect- ed and now regarded as mysterious death. And then on the fourth day. while she was ha vl ng' ureakrast with the girl, of whom she found herself be- coming really very fond, a large en- vetope was handed to Zelia. Ithad been forwarded fromJenlcks and was marked . Personal," Opening the envelopewith a slight feelin;; of foreboding, she took out of it two closely covered sheets of paper. Above the beginning of the leUer was printed in block charac- tel's: "Please walt till you are alone to read the inclosed," After breakfast she went up to her bedroom,and there, with a sen- sation of curiosity, she gazed down at t.hecommon looking blue ruled paper, which looked as if it hadbeen torn out ofacopy book. Zella hadnever seen an anony- mous letter, but she at once knew thatsuchwas this communication. '1'he words were roughly printedin indelible pencil, and the letterran as follows: 'I'hts is to beg you to say firmly, should you be asked anyquestions. that younever saw, still less han- dled, the bottle of medicinewhich was handed by somebody at Jer- ricks to Mrs. C.'s maidthe day be- fore the death of Mrs. C. The captain has sworn that he handed the bottle to one of the menservants. Each of the men in question, the butler and the four footmen, declare they never even saw the bottle. But Capt. C. is convinced that the memory of one of them has played him false. '1'here is no doubt that one of the footmen did take the bottle up- stairs, and that he now declares he did not do sobecause he has forgotten the fact. '1'here was a large party in the house, and all the menservants were very busy at that time of the afternoon. Please burn this letter afterhav- ing read it. You are implored to follow the advice of a sincere friend. Zella read the anonymous letter twice r'ight through, and the second time she was struck by the constant reiteration of the word ..bottle." She had not realized that the bottle of medicinewhich she had offered to take upstairs, and whichas amatter of fact she hadtakenupstairs, could have had anything to do with Mrs. Castledyne's sudden death, CHICAGO SUNDAY TRIBUNE: FEBRUARY o id ZelIa Receives an Anon ymous Letter; Mary Fulmer Pays a Visit to Scotland Yard She wassure that this extraordi- nary epistle had been sent to her by Broke Castledyne, and while making up her mind that she would not fol- low his advice and tell a foolish lie, she yet felt moved by his care for her. She hadn't a doubt but that he had written this dangerous letter owing to his deep love and intense desire that her name should be kept out of so melancholy and sordid an affair as his unfortunate wife's sui- cide. Going over to the fireplace of the pretty room where she had spent such peaceful-they might even be calledhappy-hours, she set fire to 1he piece of paper and watched it burn. And then suddenly she wondered what hadmade CasLledyne suppose had taken the bottle of medicine from Zella Blunt's hand. Yes! Should she be dragged into the affair Zella now felt sure that it would be owing in some way to Mrs. Castledyne's mald. As she realized that fact, a burn- ing blush rose to her face. Mrs. Castledyne, like so many women, probably made a confidant of her maid, and if thatwere true the woman must have known full well her lady was jealous of the captain's friendship for her, Zella Blunt. I N A comfortable, airy room, more like a gentleman's study than an office, sat Angus Vincent, one of the chiefs of the British criminal investigation department at Scotland Yard.

Here we have aweek in which our emotions and feel- ings are apt to come rather easily to the surface, soletus hope theyare ofthe best.If, however, when they arise to where we caninspectthem, they are not what we would admire inothers,letus do ourselves the favor oftakingtheadvice we would give to another if we found him under the same conditions. If you are not sure of your judg- ment, or it you are too sure, consult otherswhose counsel has proved sane and practical in the past, till Friday at least. The latter half of this week, beginning Wednesday,is prettyfastin the mentaldepart- ment, but not necessarily accurate; tendency to temper, snap judgments, and physical danger to be side- stepped.

Behind the Scenes Part of our nature is hidden,some- imes even from ourselves, ceituinly ,trom other people. It may be a. closetinto which we put things of whichweare ashamed; and it also maybeaprivate room to whichwe go for meditation, planning, develop- ment. All growth is accomplished alone.We can be in the midst of a howling, milling crowd on a holiday eve and still be absolutely alone with asilent inner thought or feeling. We can laugh andgo through our set of parlor tricks at the partyand still be nursing a secret which none around us could possibly suspect. "0, sure,I know all about him! Ue is as open as a book! That may be what others thtnk because that is what you wantthem to think; but is it so'! Not at all. Onlyyou know your deep directing feelings, those urges that determine the quality and destination of your desires. Perhapsyou yourself can- notpenetrate the veil back to where theyreallystart from, but ofone thing you may be certain: they come from within. These remarks are related to the psychology of the twelfth house of the horoscope, present in each of us -different in expression in each case, but essentially the same in all. It is the foundation stone of all emo- tion, this mysterious beginning place of the feelings. The more we know about this part of our occult anat- omy, the better citizens we are-eiti- zens of life.

The Tunnel The human race can be likened to a man who has come down through a. long and winding tunnel toaroom full of mirrors out ofwhich he is trying to find his way back. He seeks to locate theopeningthrough which he came into the room in order that he may ret.urn to the light and fresh air of former enjoy- ments. So to find the way is the function of religion and philosophy, exponents of which are the ideal of our churches and schools. Each of us has an ideal, whether it be in the gutter or on the mountain top, to- ward which he is aiming. It is this aiming toward an ideal thatgenerates whatever strengthwe possess-or it is our strength which enables us to have a picture of something to shoot at. At any rate, ideal and strength are intimately re- lated. 'I'he development of our ideal to a larger and better concept than we started with is real success,far greater than mere achievement of some minor point.

Angus Vincent was noted for his clear and unbiasedway of handling a difficultwitness, yet, according to him. his only secret was rrankness. "I understand, Miss Fulmer.that you have come here at your own wish to tender what you regard as important information?" "That is so, sir." T'her e was a long pause. " I suppose," he said at last, "1hat you harbor a feeling of suspicion against some man or woman who happened to be staving with Lartv .lane Bluntat the time Mrs. Castle- dyne fell ill '!" "Yes, sir. I am quite sure I know whopoisonedmy poor lady." " I mustask you to tell me whom it isyou suspect, and the reasons which make youharbor the suspi- cion." "I am quitesure, sir, that Mrs. Castledyne was murdered" - and then she stopped; it was the first time thatterribleword had passed her Iips-" by a young lady who was staying in that place they calls ramous .Ierrrcks.' "A young lady? " echoed Mr. Vin- cent in atone of extreme surprtse .. "Do you mean one of the party of young people who were being enter- tained by Lady Jane Blunt for a long week-end?" ~ T HIS woman, he told himself impatiently, was wasting his time. She was a hysterical idiot. "Ye,;, sir, I do mean that. The young lady I meanis in love with Capt. Castledyne, and I should judge, from what I have been able to make out, that she has been in love with him for a long time." "Who is she? What is her name'!" In spite of himself he was impressed by the positive, quiet way the maid spoke. ••She'saMiss ZeliaBlunt-a little fair thing. She and thecaptain was always together, even there. They kept away from the others as much as they could-even one of the gar- deners noticed it. The whole party of young folk was out of doors con- stant Iike, as it was so hot. Why, they all went away after dinner the second night and weren't back t1l1 two o'clock in the mot-ning : Miss Blunt was alone with the captain in his grand car." The listener felt unutterably dis- mayed. Zelia Blunt was connected, nearly or distantly, with half the great nobility of England. She was surely very young, too, though not young enough to escape the awful consequences of having committed murder. ••What has made you suspect this young girl of committing murder'! It is the most serious accusation one woman can make against another." "I don't suspect, sir. I know. It was Miss Blunt who gave me the bottle of medicine. There isn'ta doubt that the piece of paper in which the bottle was wrappedhad beentampered with. I do thank God "-she said the words verysol- emnly - "that that piece of paper was preserved by me. My poor lady was very tidy and couldn't bear to leave anything lying about. As there wasn't a paper basket handy, I just pushed that bit of paper into a drawer, and there it remained till I "Miss Fulmer," said the Scotland Yard ficial, " what have you done with the paper you regard as incrim- inating Miss Blunt?" was packing up "-the tears began running down the woman's face- .after Mrs. Castledyne lay stiff and cold---<lead. I was emptying all the drawers, and then I saw that piece or paper, and as I took it out of the drawerIlooked at it and saw that somebody had slit the sealing wax that had fast.ened it with a hot knife. taking out the bottle, and put in the poison. Whoever did that had not eventaken the trouble to tasten it up agatn." "'.rhis young ladyyou accuse of an awful crime mustbe years and vears younger than Capt. Castle, dyne? " He glanced at a paper before him. "I take it the captain must be in the fifties, as Mrs. Castledyne was fifty-four at the time of her death." " The captain Is at least ten years younger, sir. That, to my mind, was the one thing against him when they married. But he was truly attached to my poor lady. 'I'ha.t I know as a fact. But there, sir, the woman tempted him and he did eat, as the Bible says. 'I'hat.'a the long and short of it," He leaned forward and looked at her fixedly. "Have you any letters in your possession, Miss Fulmer'!" " Letters, sir'! How d'you mean'! " . I mean any letters of this young lady to Capt. Caatledyne. If what you say is true she must have writ- ten to him," For the first time there came a hesitating note in the woman's voice. .. The captain hadn'toften a letter addressed to Rosemary lodge, sir. He was a lot at his club." "And he had an apartment in town. Did your lady know that, Miss ]'ulmer?" Very reluctantly came the answer. "Well, no, sir. Mrs. Castledyne thought the captain just slept at his club. He did at first, I suppose. It was her idea he shouldn't come In late and disturb us all after he'd been out to the theater or with friends. The butler found out about hi:'! having an apartment, but 'twas no one's business except hi:'! own, was it, sir?" "Now, Miss Fulmer, I ask you a serious question. What makes you think Capt. Castledyne and Miss Blunt were more than friends?" .I saw them the night Mrs. Cas- tledyne and me arrived at J·erricl,s. 'Twa close on midnight." 24. 1935. "Where was this meeting?" •.In a kind of lobby, sir, out of which opened the captain's bed- room." .. What did you hear'!" He was reminding himself of an old adage which had almost become part of English law, namely. that .. What the soldier says is not evi- dence." Still, distressfully, he was a ware that in this case if the woman who sat there In her deep mourning was truthful. it might well be t.hat what she would be ready to sayan oath that she had overheard would send Zelia Blunt, gently nurtured, highly born, and still a girl, to the gallows. "I heardher say. str- -" A nrl she stopped as ifoverwhelmed with horrorand disgust. ., '1'ry and remember exaui.ly.' He was afraid to add, "But be care- Lu l," forit was essentialheshould hear the truth, if truth it was. .What I heard that young lady say is burned into my brain," she said bitterly, .. and it would have re- mained hidden-though never forgot- t enby me- if that wicked y01mg- .Iezebel hadn't gone on to do what she did."

What did YOU hear?" "I heard Miss Blunt's voice--" "How did vou know it was her voice'!" He rapped out the question in a stern voice. "I didn't know then, sir.

Haven't I told you again and again--'" F ULMER stopped and looked at Mr. Vincent Intently with her sunken eyes. "You note that, sir, •again and again' was whatthe captain said. It was no new affair between them," "Did hesay what he had told her again and again? " He did,sir. explaining as how my lady, his wife, didn't mean any- thing to him. That they were ,iust ;::ood friends. And then he says in a funny way: She's a very nice woman,' he says, but she's no more knowledge of what love means to people like you and me than I have of-of--" And then he said some- thing about higher-now, what was it? Yes, I've got it, sir-the higher mathematics," Mr. Vincent remained s i len t, Against his will, terribly against his will, he was beginning to believe this sinister woman must be believed. " Did Miss Blunt say anything else'! " "She said again and again : • It's no use, Broke.' That's the captain's name, sir. 'I can't go on as we've done. For one thing, I feel so ashamed when I look at her.' He tried to soothe her, but she wouldn't have it. •I'm going to make some excuse,' she says, 'to get away from here tomorrow.' And he says, •Don't break my heart,' There's no doubt, sir, she's got him, as the saying is. 'Twas pitiful to hear him pleading with her." "Can you remember hearing her I!ay anything which in the least Im- Tig By Mrs Belloe Lowndes plied that she wished Mrs. CastJe- dyne dead'!" "The word death was not men- tioned, sir, that I must say. But she spoke as if all happiness had gone from her IHe justbecause my poor lady had acceptedLady Jane's in vi- tation." And then Mr. Vincent decided to say something which he knew to be imprudent. .. 1 suppose you realize, Miss Fulmer. that almost everything- you have just said ar;lllnst the young- lady would elltUllly apply to Capt.

She waited for afew moments, then shp said in a quiet, posittve j one: "I feltall the while that Miss Blunt was talking to him. that secret time, as if he was cursing himself, if I may say such athing of a gen- tleman, for having carried on with her. lIe was uncomfortable,trying to makeher see reason.

INSTALMENT VII.

"MAY I speak to you aminute, mamma?"••Why, of course, my

pet. What is it?"'.rhe young duchess, as she was

still called, though she was now wellover forty, smiled fondly at herdaughter. She was fond and proudof her three sons, but her heart'slove was given to this pretty, gentle,intelligent girl, and so far the childhad never caused her a moment ofpain or unease.••I want to know if I may ask

ZelIa Blunt to stay here for two orthree days. She says it has beenwretched at Jerricks since that poorlady died there last Sunday weekEven the servants are all upset be-cause the police came out and askedthem tiresome questions. Lady Janeis being very disagreeable, too, be-cause unluckily she got to know thisMrs. Castledyne through ZelIa,"'.rhere was a pause. The duchess

looked undecided.••0, mamma, do let me have her!

I am really fond of her, you know,and she took a lot of trouble overour dance,"••Over our dance? My dar-ling

child, I don't know what you mean,"" Don't you remember how we had

to get four men, all in a hurry, atthe last moment? It was ZelIa whogot them for us. I know she took alot of trouble. Even as it was, wehadn't enough men."" Very well, my deal', go and tell

her that of course we shall be verypleased to put her up for as long asshe cares to stay. But Tara, mypet'! "

(C Yes, mamma " "•.Dcn't allow her to teach you to

a thing, mamma! "And she danced away, full of de-

added spiritually, too. But whatmade those three days memorable,and especially when she recalledthem afterward, was that not asingle person made the smallest al-lusion to Mrs. Castledyne's unexpect-ed and now regarded as mysteriousdeath.And then on the fourth day. while

she was ha vl ng' ureakrast with thegirl, of whom she found herself be-coming really very fond, a large en-vetope was handed to Zelia. It hadbeen forwarded from Jenlcks andwas marked •.Personal,"Opening the envelope with a slight

feelin;; of foreboding, she took outof it two closely covered sheets ofpaper. Above the beginning of theleUer was printed in block charac-tel's: "Please walt till you arealone to read the inclosed,"After breakfast she went up to

her bedroom, and there, with a sen-sation of curiosity, she gazed downat t.he common looking blue ruledpaper, which looked as if it had beentorn out of a copy book.Zella had never seen an anony-

mous letter, but she at once knewthat such was this communication.'1'he words were roughly printed inindelible pencil, and the letter ranas follows:

'I'hts is to beg you to say firmly,should you be asked any questions.that you never saw, still less han-dled, the bottle of medicine whichwas handed by somebody at Jer-ricks to Mrs. C.'s maid the day be-fore the death of Mrs. C.The captain has sworn that he

handed the bottle to one of themenservants. Each of the men inquestion, the butler and the fourfootmen, declare they never evensaw the bottle. But Capt. C. isconvinced that the memory of oneof them has played him false.'1'here is no doubt that one of thefootmen did take the bottle up-stairs, and that he now declareshe did not do so because he hasforgotten the fact. '1'here was alarge party in the house, and allthe menservants were very busyat that time of the afternoon.Please burn this letter after hav-

ing read it. You are implored tofollow the advice of a sincerefriend.

Zella read the anonymous lettertwice r'ight through, and the secondtime she was struck by the constantreiteration of the word .. bottle."She had not realized that the bottleof medicine which she had offered totake upstairs, and which as a matterof fact she had taken upstairs, couldhave had anything to do with Mrs.Castledyne's sudden death,

CHICAGO SUNDAY TRIBUNE: FEBRUARY

o idZelIa Receives an Anon ymous Letter;

Mary Fulmer Pays a Visit toScotland Yard

She was sure that this extraordi-nary epistle had been sent to her byBroke Castledyne, and while makingup her mind that she would not fol-low his advice and tell a foolish lie,she yet felt moved by his care forher. She hadn't a doubt but thathe had written this dangerous letterowing to his deep love and intensedesire that her name should be keptout of so melancholy and sordid anaffair as his unfortunate wife's sui-cide.Going over to the fireplace of the

pretty room where she had spentsuch peaceful-they might even becalled happy-hours, she set fire to1he piece of paper and watched itburn.And then suddenly she wondered

what had made CasLledyne suppose

had taken the bottle of medicinefrom Zella Blunt's hand.Yes! Should she be dragged into

the affair Zella now felt sure that itwould be owing in some way to Mrs.Castledyne's mald.As she realized that fact, a burn-

ing blush rose to her face. Mrs.Castledyne, like so many women,probably made a confidant of hermaid, and if that were true thewoman must have known full wellher lady was jealous of the captain'sfriendship for her, Zella Blunt.

CIRCUMSTANCES don't makethe man-they reveal him.Here we have a week inwhich our emotions and feel-

ings are apt to come rather easily tothe surface, so let us hope they areof the best. If, however, when theyarise to where we can inspect them,they are not what we would admirein others, let us do ourselves thefavor of taking the advice we wouldgive to another if we found himunder the same conditions.If you are not sure of your judg-

ment, or it you are too sure, consultothers whose counsel has provedsane and practical in the past, tillFriday at least. The latter half ofthis week, beginning Wednesday, ispretty fast in the mental depart-ment, but not necessarily accurate;tendency to temper, snap judgments,and physical danger to be side-stepped.Today and tomorrow: Favorable

for travel, planning ahead, and af-fairs afar. Tuesday and Wednes-day: Keep an eye on occupationalrelationships; be tactful with per-sonal, business, governmental, andsocial superiors-the same with par-ents. Thursday and Friday: Makefriends; take car e 0 f businessfinances; plan ahead. Saturday andnext Sunday: Careful of emotions,secrets, c a use s of scandal, andhealth.

Behind the ScenesPart of our nature is hidden, some-imes even from ourselves, cei tuinly

,trom other people. It may be a.

closet into which we put things ofwhich we are ashamed; and it alsomay be a private room to which wego for meditation, planning, develop-ment. All growth is accomplishedalone. We can be in the midst of ahowling, milling crowd on a holidayeve and still be absolutely alone witha silent inner thought or feeling.We can laugh and go through ourset of parlor tricks at the party andstill be nursing a secret which nonearound us could possibly suspect."0, sure, I know all about him!

Ue is as open as a book! ••That may be what others thtnk

because that is what you want themto think; but is it so'! Not at all.Only you know your deep directingfeelings, those urges that determinethe quality and destination of yourdesires. Perhaps you yourself can-not penetrate the veil back to wherethey really start from, but of onething you may be certain: theycome from within.These remarks are related to the

psychology of the twelfth house ofthe horoscope, present in each of us-different in expression in eachcase, but essentially the same in all.It is the foundation stone of all emo-tion, this mysterious beginning placeof the feelings. The more we knowabout this part of our occult anat-omy, the better citizens we are-eiti-zens of life.'I'his house is being stimulated dur-

The TunnelThe human race can be likened to

a man who has come down througha. long and winding tunnel to a roomfull of mirrors out of which he istrying to find his way back. Heseeks to locate the opening throughwhich he came into the room inorder that he may ret.urn to thelight and fresh air of former enjoy-ments. So to find the way is thefunction of religion and philosophy,exponents of which are the ideal ofour churches and schools. Each ofus has an ideal, whether it be in thegutter or on the mountain top, to-ward which he is aiming.It is this aiming toward an ideal

that generates whatever strength wepossess-or it is our strength whichenables us to have a picture ofsomething to shoot at. At any rate,ideal and strength are intimately re-lated.

THIS woman, he told himselfimpatiently, was wasting histime. She was a hysterical

idiot."Ye,;, sir, I do mean that. The

young lady I mean is in love withCapt. Castledyne, and I should judge,from what I have been able to makeout, that she has been in love withhim for a long time.""Who is she? W hat is her

fair thing. She and the captain wasalways together, even there. Theykept away from the others as muchas they could-even one of the gar-deners noticed it.

two o'clock in the mot-ning : MissBlunt was alone with the captain inhis grand car."The listener felt unutterably dis-

young girl of committing murder'!It is the most serious accusation onewoman can make against another.""I don't suspect, sir. I know. It

"I take it the captain must be inthe fifties, as Mrs. Castledyne wasfifty-four at the time of her death."" The captain Is at least ten years

younger, sir. That, to my mind, wasthe one thing against him when theymarried. But he was truly attachedto my poor lady. 'I'ha.t I know as afact. But there, sir, the womantempted him and he did eat, as theBible says. 'I'hat.'a the long andshort of it,"He leaned forward and looked at

her fixedly. "Have you any lettersin your possession, Miss Fulmer'!"" Letters, sir'! How d'you mean'! "•. I mean any letters of this young

lady to Capt. Caatledyne. If whatyou say is true she must have writ-ten to him,"For the first time there came a

hesitating note in the woman's voice... The captain hadn't often a letteraddressed to Rosemary lodge, sir.He was a lot at his club.""And he had an apartment in

town. Did your lady know that,Miss ]'ulmer?"Very reluctantly came the answer.

"Well, no, sir. Mrs. Castledynethought the captain just slept at hisclub. He did at first, I suppose. Itwas her idea he shouldn't come Inlate and disturb us all after he'dbeen out to the theater or withfriends. The butler found out abouthi:'! having an apartment, but 'twasno one's business except hi:'! own,was it, sir?""Now, Miss Fulmer, I ask you a
