The fact that he's fa- mMiarly called Pop is helpful as astarter. You simply couldn't {m- agine Beethoven being called Shorty, or Bismarck being referred to as Snookums.” * “Cleaver has been @ politician most of his life—a Tammany Hall ‘regular.’ Was a ward-boss at twenty-five; ran a Democratic club of some kind in Brooklyn for a time; was an alderman for two terms, and practiced general law. Was appointed tax commissioner; left politics, and raised a small racing-stable. Later secured an 1l- legal gambling concession at Sara- toga; and now operates a pool- room in Jersey City. He's what you might call a professional sport. Loves his liquor.” “No marriages?” “None on the records.—But see here: Cleaver's out of it. He was ticketed in Boonton that night at half past eleven.” “Is that, by any chance, the water- tight alibi you mentioned a mo- ment ago?” “In my primitive legal way I considered it as such.” Markham resented Vance's question, “The summons was handed him at half Past eleven: it's so marked and dated. And Boonton is fifty miles from here—a good two hours’ mo- tor ride, - Therefore, Cleaver un- questionably left New York about half past nine; and even if he'd driven directly back, he couldn't have reached here until long after the time the medical examiner de- clared the girl was dead. “As @ matter of routine, I in- vestigated the summons, and even spoke by phone to the offcer who iasued it.

(By The Associated Press) Portland, Me.—What’s in a name? Charles Lindbergh arrived from Europe, where he said he received much homage, but was greeted here with nary a cheer. He is water tender aboard the S. 8. Sagaporak. New York—There are “many flapper saints in short skirts” in the opinion of the right Rev. James H. B. Darlington, bishop of the Harrisburg diocese of the Episco- pal church. He told an audience here not to judge by outer appear- ances, Managua, Nicaragua. — The “horse marines” are about to go into action against General Sandino. Horses have been assigned the marines to place them on a@ more equal footing with the rebel soldiers who are generally mounted, New York—The Castilian gar- dens of the Hotel St. George in Brooklyn were more or less wrecked today, but the Freshman class at Columbia University was jubilant. Aided by police reserves, they suc- cessfully repulsed an onslaught by a hundred or more sophomores in- tent on breaking up their annual dinner, Jefferson C Mo.—It will prob- ably be like trying to keep a fish out of water, but Secretary of War Davis has announced he will ask Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to re- frain from all stunt flying as his life is too valuable to aviation ard the country. He will not ask Lind- bergh to give up flying altogether. Philadelphia—The hectic life of the unger generation, with pars ties lasting to dawn and the result- ing loss of sleep, is a contributing factor to heart disease, Dr. Samuel McClintock Hamill told the Penn- sylvania Public Health Association, The name “Rita” is the Italian form of the Greek name “Mar- garet,” and means “a pearl.” lady's life at midnight or there-' abouts?” | “Come, come!” laughed Mark-, ham. “That's 2 bit too far-fetched. You'd give every law-breaker credit for concocting schemes of the most | diabolical cunning.” “So I would,” admitted Vance ap- athetically. “And—d'ye know?—I rather fancy that's just the kind of coct, if he was planning a murder, }and own life was at stake. kp really amazes me is the ; Baive assumption of your investi- {gators that a murderer gives no | intelligent thought whatever to his future safety. It’s rather touchiu’, y’ know.” Markham grunted. “Well, you can take it from me. it was Cleaver himself who got | that summons.” “I dare say you're right,” Vance conceded. “I merely suggested the | Possibility of deception, don't y’) know. The only point I really in- sist on is that the fascinatin’ Miss Odell was killec by a man of subile and superior mentality.” “And I, in turn,” irritably re- Joined Markham, “insist that the! only men of that type who touched her life intimately enough to have ; had any reason to do it are Man-| nix, Cleaver, Lindquist, and Spots- woode. And I further insist that not one of them can be regarded | as @ promising possibility.” | “I fear I must contradict you, old dear,” said Vance serenely. “They're all possibilities—and one of them is guilty.” Markham glared at him deris- ively. “Well, well! So the case fs set- tled! Now, if you'll but indicate which is the guilty one, I'll arrest him at once, and return to my other duties.” | “You're always in such haste,” | Vance lamented. “Why leap and | run? The wisdom of the world’s Philosophers is against it. Festina | lente, says Caesar; or, as Rufus has it, Festinatio tarda est. And tho Koran says quite frankly that haste is of the Devil. Shakespeare was constantly belittling speed: ‘He tires betimes that spurs too | betimes’; and ‘Wisely, and slow; they stumble | that run fast.’ i Chaucer also held similar views. ‘He hasteth wel,’ said he, ‘that | wysely can abyde.” Even God’s common people have embalmed the | idea in numberless proverbs: ‘God | and quickly seldom meet’; and ‘Hasty men never want woe——’” Markham rose with a gesture of | impatience. I’m going home before you start @ bed-time story,” he growled. The ironical aftermath of this remark was that Vance did tell a “bedtime story” that night; but he told it to me in the secjusion of his own library; and the gist of it was this: “Heath is committed, body and soul, to s belief in Skeel's guilt; and Markham is as effectively strangled with legal red tape as the poor Canary was strangled with powerful hands. Ehex, Van!

Sone at nine o'clock the following morn- ing; and at ten o'clock we were sitting on his little roof-garden have ing breakfast in the mellow mid- ptember sunshine, van,” he said to me, when Cure rie had brought us our second cup of coffee, “however secretive a woman may be, there’s always some one to whom she unburdens her confidant 1s an essential eminine temperament. It be a mother, or a lover, or a or a doctor, or, more gen> girl chum. “In the Canary’s case we haven't & mother or a priest. Her lover— the elegant Skeel—was a potential enemy; and we're pretty safe in ruling out her doctor—she was too shrewd to confide in such a creas ture as Lindquist. The girl chufa, then, remains, And today we seek her.” He lit a cigaret and rose. “But, first, we must visit Mr, Bene jamin Browne of Seventh Avenue.” Benjamin Browne was a wells known photographer of stage celeb rities, with galleries in the heart of the city’s theatrical district; and as we entered the reception-room of his luxurious studio later that morning my curiosity as to the obe ject of our visit was at tho breake ing-point. Vance went straight to the desk, behind which sat a young woman with flaming red hair and mascaro- shaded eyes, and bowed in his most dignificd manner, Then, taking a small unmounted photograph from his pocket, he laid it before her. — “I am producing a musical eom- edy, mademoisetic,” ho seid, “and I wish to communicate with the young lady who left this picture of herself with me, Unfortunately I've misplaced her card; but as her photograph bore tho imprint of Browne's, I thought you might be good enough to look in your files and tell me who she is and where T may find her.” Ho slipped a five-dollar bill un- der tho edge of tho blotter, and waited with an air of innocent ex- Pectancy, The young woman looked at him quizzically, and I thought I detect ed the hint of a smile at the core ners of her artfully rouged lips. But after a moment she took the Photograph without @ word and disappeared through @ rear door. Ten minutes later she returned and handed Vance the picture. On the back of it she had written a name and address, “The young lady is Miss Alys La Fosse, and she lives at the Bela There was now no doubt as to her smile. “You really shouldn't be So careless with the addresses of your applicants—some poor girl might lose an engagement.” And her smile suddenly turned into soft laughter. “Mademoiselle,” replied Vance, with mock seriousness, “in the fu ture I shall be guided by your warning.” And with another dig- unified bow, we went out. “Good Lord!” he said, as we emerged into venth Avenue, Perng ba Lyall I spoula, have dis» gi myself as an impresario, with a gold-headed cane, a derby, and a purple shirt.
