FEATURE PAGE. ¥ 1 HOW MANY CARDS? By ISABEL OSTRANDER A uthor of “The Island of Intrigue,” “Suspense,” “Ashes to Ashes,” etc. Copyright, 1921, by Robert M. McBride & Co. SYNOPSIS. Ex-Roundsman Timothy McCarty, forgetful that he had retired from the force, follows a figure whose type hiad been weil known to him in the «ld days—that of an undersized, nar- row-Iramed man who disappeared nio & palatial residence. byt the sus- t returns Instantly and in much rturbation. When pulled up by Mec- Carty the man protests his innocence and swears that he had “nothing to with what's in dere!” Clancy, the 1 policeman on the beat. appears at and demands “what's T've been trying to get out of him what he did do in there,” . “We'll take him along Clancy declared brietly. And Here It Continues.’ After some search they located & desk telephone on the writing table woncealed beneath a bell-shaped Lronze ornament, and the policeman called up his precinct station house and had the satisfaction of knowing that the message was relayed to the borough headquarters. “It's too big entirely for them to handle,” declared McCarly, contempt- uously, when the other had hung up the receiver. “I'll put a call through myself to general headquarters and tipthem off. Maybe my old triend, In- spector Druet, might be there and could happen along up here before the gum shoes from the bushes have chance to ball up the game. It's highly irregular, but I'm only a pri- vate citizen now, by the grace of my uiacle—may God rest his soul—and m free to do as I please. To Inspector Druet, seated at his «esk In the homicide bureau, there presently came over the wire a well known voice, husky with ill-suppress- «d_excitement. “Mac. you old scoundrel!” he ex- med ~ in affectionate banter. “Where have you been keeping your- 1f, and what are you doing this time night?" i I'm mixing in high "sdciety, sir.” ‘arty’s tones were cautious. 'm in a grand private house up on the avenue, facing the park, just hove the third side entrance—of the park. T mean, r—and there'll be cuite a little party here soon. I'm thinking. Maybe you'd like to get in little ahea 3 ‘What is it? Where are you?' The ‘aspector’s own tones had crispe “Mac, have you tumbled headforem: o another—?" “Tis the house of Mr. Eugene Creveling, sir; him they used to call Million-a-month. Jim Clancy is here With me and a young Crook we cpp- by the way, but none of the fam- ily seems to be at home except him- if. and we found him with a bullet his heart from an army gun.” "1l be with you,” the inspector sald briefly and the two receivers clicked in_unison. > 1t would never have been known until ven knows when if you hadn’t nabbed bird here.” Clancy spoke with re- ant but irrepressible honesty. “B: the keys of St. Peter, Mac, you'v, off more stunts since you left the force than when you were on it! First that xirl who was flung out the windcw of the Glamorgan and then the other one I{hat was strangled in the crige mu- seum. & *Twas Terhune, the great scientific etective, that got at the truth in the st case and the inspector himself who ©id the work in the other,” McCarty remarked with dignity. “I just poked around like the old has-been I am. But there comes the bus from the borough headquarters, and you'll be doing me a favor, Clancy, if you'll just forget I'm here until ¥ ked to tell what you know of it all. like to snoop around a bit on my owp account till the in- spector gets here.” ‘How do we know it Isn't suicide. any- ay?" demanded Clancy, as the clatter of the police gong grew louder on the air and his companion made for the door. “Because there are no powder marks that I saw,” McCarty replied succinctly. ~If he'd held that cannon against his Lreast and fired it the powder would have been sprinkled all over the front of him. As the automobile from the borough headquarters drew up before the door McCarty dodged into the room next to the study. It proved to be a breakfast room, and the ex-roundsman whistled woltly to himself as he cautiously closed the door after finding and turning on the wall switch, which made the single low light over the table burst into & zolden glow. The table was laid for two and the + mains of a supper were spread upon it. while an empty quart champagne bot- » Mood upon the floor and a nd one osed in the cooler, in the bottom of vhich a small quantity of ice still re- mained unmelted. McCarty's brows knit at the sight of and he pulled out hiz watch. ‘Quarter to 3!" he muttered, then turned his attention to the table itself. The food upon one plate was scarcely touched, but bread crumbs werc scat- tered ail about it and the wine glass was empty. On the other hand, the second piate had been cleaned save for fragments, half a roll lay beside it and the glass was half-full of dead cham- pagne. N at hand was an ash tray containing the stub of a cigarette and another unsmoked but broken in two lay in the center of the table. McCarty was turning away when al- most imbedded in the heavy pile of the rug just beneath the end of the cloth close to the champagne bucket »mething caught kis eye. It was a broken bit of amber from the mouth- piece of a cigarctte holder. He picked it up and shamelessly put It in his pocket. The subdued purring of a second motor came to his ears, and he left the breakfast room, and, hurrying across the rotunda, flung open the house door. Inspector Druet was descending the steps. “Come in. sir,” McCarty urged super- fuously. “Tke men are here from horough headquarters and they are| holding a grand session in the room where Mr. Creveling was killed—if it was Mr. Creveling himself.” He led his former superior into the breakfast room and pointed to the ble. “Wherever the servants and the rest of the family have got to, there were (wo peonle bad supper here tonight, s you can see, sir. One of them was centented and pleased, tco interested to bother much with his wine, but ate a gond meal, though something inter- ruptd him before he finished smok- v h's cigarette, and If he left the m then he didn’t take it witk him. The other was nervous or ahgry or & ared: couldn't eat, crumbled his bread, drank his wine to keep up his courage, but broke his arctte in two and maybe holder.. One of them is Iying dead in the next room and the other hes gone. What's the answer, sir? It's up to you.” CHAPTER II The Voice on the Wire. The inspector approached. the table and gazed thoughtfully down upon its array of porcclain and silver and elaes. “You're getting to be quite in Wade Terhune’s class with your deductions, Mae, but you're right, I think,” he ob- surved. “If Creveling sat here, where the food is almost untouched and the bread crumbled, it looks as though he might have known what was coming to him. or feared it, anyway. We'll find out what enemies he had— cCarty shook his head. 1 don't think so, si: he sald quie . I think it was kis visitor who sat that chair. Mr. Creveling was hos all the servants were gone un- ss they're lying murdered upstairs, he must have waited on the table elf. and you see the wine cooler is right close uy to the other chair. I found this near it on the floor.” 1lc produced the broken bit of am- ~. 'ber and the inspector scrutinized it | caretully. “Part of a cigarette holder, eh? A mighty slender one, too, by the curve of this fragment. It looks as though a lady—" He paused as McCarty picked up the broken cigarette from the table and ailently handed it to him. It was but little thicker than a straw and bore tiny ecuare gold letters the (nitials G ‘They're tho same as on the plati- num case in the waistcoat pocket of the dead man in the other room there,” McCarty remarked at length. “I've my opinifon of a fellow that would call a thing like that a smoke, out no matter. Did you take a good look at the supper table, sir?” No dope there, beyond what you pointed out” Inspector Druet had tuined away. “Lot's have a look up- stairs before the rest go to it.” But he was too late, for even as he =poke the door of the next room open- ed and heavy footsteps could be heard crossing the rotunda and mounting the broad stairs. Like con- spirators, the inspector and McCarty aited until they died away in the regions above. “I wonder now what they did with the young crook I caught climbing out of the window?" McCarty queried aloud to himseif. “What's that manded. Briefly, McCarty recounted the events of the night, and when he had concluded his companion started for the door ‘leading into the hall once more. ‘We'll have a look at the body and then join the rest upstairs. This is a headquarters job all right, Mac, and T'm going to tuke charge. “1 thought you would, sir.” Mc- Carty heaved a sigh of satisfaction not ‘unmixed with envy. “At least you'll not have Terhune with his scientific stunts and mechanical mind readers buiting In on the case. How about you yourself” inspector halted and bent a quisszical gaze upon his companion. ing to quit before the end of the first round “Quit?" McCarty flushed. “Well you know, sir, that I'm not In it ex- cept maybe to testify against the lad for breaking and entering. I've nothing to do with the murder nor the solving of it." “But you're itching for a chance, aren’t you, you old scout?” s The other smiled. T1l swear you In as a special officer tomorrow. just as 1 did on the last case you got vourself {mixed up in since you left the force. Come on, now." McCarty's eyes shone and he squared his massive shoulders with proud elation as they entered the room Where the master of the house lay. He was officially at work agaln, and the inhabitants of the installment plan suburban colony in ch he had invested his vings ard -from which he drew his modest revenue might run the place to suit themselves until the case was finished. He was back in the old game! When they opened the door of the study they found that its only occu- pants were the dead man and the wretched youth who still cringed in his chair. to one arm of which he had now been securely handcuffed. At sight of the Inspector's face he uttered a sharp ecjaculation and cowered further down. “Well, well!” TInspector Druet searched his countenance keenly. “It i Secms to me we've met before, my friend.” No, sir! Youse got me wrong——!' ‘Have 17 We've got you mugged down at_headquarters; I never forget a face. Have you done time? What's your name? Sfiel up!’ "Joe Bodansky,” the youth mut- tered sullenly. “I did one stretch in de reformitory ‘cause de gang I trav- eled wit’ swiped some lead pipe, but 1 didn’t have nottin’ to do wit’ it! Dis is de foist toime—' Never mind; thought I had you right. T'll get your story downtown later.” Insvector Druet turned to M Carty and indicated the body. “Is thi the way it was when you saw it firs Inspector Druet de- Yes. I was the third one to see it as far as we know; Joe, here, was first, then Clancy and then me. It don’t look as if those flatfeet upstairs had disturbed it any except that the gun was lying nearer the hand, al- most touching the fingers—this way. McCarty stooped and moved the po-: sition of the pistol a trifie. He sure got his with a vengeance, didn’t he?” the inspector remarked. A quick gleam of light came into McCarty’s own eyes. “Maybe he did, safed. “There scems to have been a bit of struggle here; look. Mac.” The .in- spector spoke suddenly. The strip of tapestry which lay along the center of the refectory tavle had been pulled awry at the end near which the man had fallen, and it was evident that only the heavy lamp which stood upon it had prevented It from being swept to the floor, but there were no other signs of disorder in ;he rorm e a es, sir. arty agreed, some- what doubtfully. “He wouldn't have had time to catch at it in falling after that shot hit him, ‘but maybe wh ever it was did it might e twisted that table cover in rage or excitement before they fired and killed him. “And you think Creveling was the sort of man to stand calmly and wait withcut raising a hand to defend himself while his {\lut worked his cwn nerve up to the point of mur- der?” The inspéctor shrugged. “Come along, let's go and what the have found ou | The patrol wagon clattered up to Ithe entrance at that moment and Joe he vouch- | Bodansky. obviously relieved to he! {romeved from the immediate vielnity cf the dead man. even in so grim and forbidding a vehicle, was consigned {o the care of its officials.

Dear Travel Clubbers: Well, | was very glad to get a note from Svend Yort the other day about my Viking letter and the drawing Joseph Owens sent me of his idea of a Viking ship. You are a member of the Junior Travel Ctub, Svend, and you, too, Joe, and glad to welcome you, for you write just the kind of letters I like to get. Svend told the other members of what “Mark- land” meant when the Vikings named the country they found that. It means { meadow land, und,Svend writes me that It they had namfd the country wood- land they would have called kov- lland.” 1 am very glad to have Junior Travel Club members write me about these things. By the way, did you no- tice that Joe Owens' initials are J. O. E.? They tell me tials spcll your name you are golng to | have geod luck. How about that? What [ started to write about was the amphitheater at Arlington that Jennie Cummings and Bobbie Wray and AMorton Allison asked about. 1 going to get to Mt. Vernon that Dora Hanscn asked about, and this is right on the way if you take a little turn off the Mt. Vernon road after crossing the Potomac river on the Highway Bridge.

Ec sure and do What Should Peter Rabbit Do? BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. When in doubt Just what your part Liced the piompiings of your heart. —Peter Kabbit. “Can it be,” thought Peter Rabbit, “that Longle¢gs the Heron is going to try again to catch Grandfather Frog? He has been trying ever since I first made the acquaintance of either of them. 1 should think he would know by this time that it is useless to spend his time that way. He is merely wast- ing it. Perhaps, after all, he isn't aft- er Grandfather Frog, but hopes to catch a foolish young Frog. I'll just hide over there, where I can see all that happens.” 8o Peter In his turn crept forward very quietly, taking the greatest care not to make the teeniest sound and keeping as close to the ground as he could. So he gained the bank of the Smiling Pool just where the lily pads were and peeped over. Longlegs hadn’t seen him. Longlegs was too in- tent on what he was doing to see anything else. Just below, seated on one of the big. green lily pads, was Grandfather Frog. He was back to Peter and it was quite evident that he was enjoy- ing his part leader of the Frog chor “Chug-arum, chug-arum, chug-arum,” he kept saying over and over in his great, deep voice, and he was 80 busy about it that he wasn't watching out for danger. But what Peter noticed right away was that Grandfather Frog wasn't sitting on hi8 favorite lily pad. which was out in such deep water that Long- legs never could reach him there. Instead, he was sitting on a lily pad close to shore. If Longlegs should get The Perils of a Vacation (5). Besides being bitten by mosquitoes, bitten by the dog, sunburned, poison- jed with ivy, Infected by drinking polluted water and perhaps ferocious- i1y attacked by a wild rabbit, there is i 8till the chance of being bitten by & snake while on a vacation. i Venomous snakes (rattlesnake, cop- iperhead, moccasin) in this country are pit vipers;' that is, they have a depression or pit over the lip between ithe eyé and the nostril; have tri- ngular heads, with wide, massive jaws (great muscular development of the jaws); elliptical pupils and bodies comparatively thick in proportion to {length. Harmless snakes have rouiid jheads, no pits, round pupils and i bodies comparatively slender. Harm- less snakes should not be killed, for jthey are destroyers of field vermin, and some of them, such as the black- ake and bullsnake, will destroy venomous snakes. Venomous snakes aré never found in or on trees. The forked tongue of a snake is a diag- nostic implement, not a weapon. The poisonous snakes have two fangs at- tached to the uppes jaw, and hinged 8o that ordinarily they lie horizon- tally against the upper jaw, pointing backward; they are erected to point downward and slightly- forward When the snake is ungered or about to strike. Through the fangs the venom or poison is injected from the venom sacs into the wound, on the principle of the hypodermic needle.
