(Continued from Yesterday's Star.) “Your former colleague, or—er—com- petitor, Mr. Wade Terhune. has already paid me a call and he told me ::h:t 1 xpect you shortly.” Mr. Cutter :'rl::;e; Rndolently into_a chalr _and stretched out his long, slim legs luxut- jously. “T'm quite ready to tell You any> hing T can about our late friend Hugen Creveling.” So Terhune had been before him left that ironic warning, Knowing That it would be repeated!

There seemed to Mc- Carty to be something vaguely famil- jar about that expression; upon whose face had he encountered it before? “You'll excuse me for intruding on you, sir, but we've hardly any clues, 10 work on and 'tis only through Mr. Creveling's friends and associates that we can hope to get a line on him McCarty began at last. “We're trying to find out what motive he could have had for killing himself.” Mr. Cutter’s eyebrows went up and he put the tips of his long, slender, tapering fingers together. “So? The authorities have come to the conclusion that it was suicide? That is not the impression I gathered from Mr. Terhune.” ‘Mr. Terhune is a private detective, i himself, and a wonder he is in some respects with his little recording ma- chines and such, but I'm a special dep- uty on the police force and one of the old school. ~Suicide the ant med- jcal examiner names it. and as a sui- cide I'm investigating the case.” Mc- Carty’s tone was that of one har- ne to routine, but there was a speculative gleam in the gaze he be- stowed upon his host. Mr. Cutter shook his head. “Of course, you know your business. Mr. McCarty, and your medical pert’s diagnosis ought to be conclu- sive, but isn’t there room for doubt? I'm not actually insinuating that some one broke in and shot Mr. Creveling, but have you looked at the case from all sides?” x “If there was room for doubt that it was suicide what else are you thinking of but murder, Mr. Cutter?” McCarty demanded. The other shrugged. +I have formed no opinion, person- ally. I can no more conceive of Mr. Creveling killing himself than 1 can of any one wishing to take his 1 yet the fact remains that he is dea the shot of a pistol fired by his his 'hand or that of another. If the authorities are-satisfied that it is a case of suicide that is one step on the v'l‘yY to llaksolnnon.“ “You've known Mr. Crevelin, n; time?” e “Since he left the university, but only casually in those earlier years. He was having his fling in the bright lights and my tastes drew me in quite another direction; it was only after g! marriage and through a mutual lend that I really came into con- tact with him and discovered that ‘we had an interest in common which rendered us congenial.” “And what was that interest, Mr. ter?” McCarty asked quickly “A love of the beautiful in all books, inti things—textiles, paintings s innate, the passion of a lifetime; he had the acquisitive zeal of a collector and I the appreciation of an heredit- ary possessor, but I was naturally in- terested in finding a kindred spirit ‘where I had least thought to discover] one. If you were a connoisseur, Mr. McCarty, you would understand what a pleasure it was to me to instruct and advise him in his choice. He made many mistakes but/he was learning—he was learning. What a pity!” 1y Yes, sin” McCarty agreed grave- y. brought you together?” “Mr. Douglas. Waverly."” “Him!” McCarty ejaculated. “And i he what you call a connoisseur, t00?

No. Mr. Waverly'is a good sportsman and, a capital fellow, but he has no interes in—er—antiques. ever, I fear we are wasting your valu- able time. As I said, I cannot conceive why Mr. Creveling should have killed himself unless— “Unless what?” McCarty leaned for- ward and his teeth clamped upon his clgar. “I was going to say, unless he had suddenly taken leave of his senses,” Mr. Cutter replied, stirring uneasily in his chair. “I woul not have suggested it as a possibility but now that I have per- mitted myself this indiscretion 1 must tell you qute frankly that on several occasions of late Mr. Creveling has seemed to be rather—er—peculiar. Not exactly irrational, but.he has let go, Jost control of himself over the merest trifles, worked himself up into a state of ungovernable fury because of some small annoyance or difference of opinion at which he would have laughed a year “ ‘Difference of opinion? ” McCarty repeated. ““With whom Mr. Cutter?” “Oh, any one! I do not recall any particular instance, but it has seemed as though he had been rather going to pleces. I am telling you this in confidence; it may have been simply a case of nerves, but in the light of what has occurred and in the absence of any possible motive as far as I ;:l:l imagine it may be worth looking nto.” “It may that?” McCarty assented. “Do you know if any of his other friends noticed the change in him? He was here at your house last Tuesady evening, wasn’t he?” “Yes, poor chap.” That is the last time I saw him alive.” Mr. Cutter eyed him steadily. “Did he show any of the temper that you've been telling me about then before the others “ “The others’? Mr. Cutter’'s straight brows lifted inquiringly. “Oh, you mean my other guests of tie evening?” “Yes. Mrs. Kip and the O'Roukes and Fords and Mr. Waverly. Did he act peculiar then?” “I see you have quite a compre- hensive list of our mutual friends.” ‘The other laughed shortly. “Mr. Creveling displayed on ill-temper, if that is what you mean, but -t did oc- cur to me that he was preoccupied and ring under some sort of ex- citement.” “Was he on good terms with every one?” McCarty persisted. “Did you notice any coolness between him and one of your other guests?’ Mr. Cutter frowned. “I did not. He appeared to be on excellent terms with himself and the world. T may be all wrong, but his eccentricities have assuredly become more marked of late, and isn't it quite possible that he may have had a violent quarrel with some one over uninfentional or imaginary Injury, brooded over it until the tension snapped and in a moment of tempo- rary aberration shot himself? I real- ize how far-fetched such an explan- ation may appear to you, but I can think of no other. He had every- thing to live for and not an enemy in the world.” [d he have any delusions, now? ‘Was he a crank on any one subject that you can recall?”” ~ “No. He was a man with more than the average self-assurance; his egotism was marked, but if that were a gauge of sanity I fancy that many .of us would be in the hands of alien- ists™ Mr. Cutter smiled, then his face grew grave. “He was arrogant because he had been pampered and spoiled from birth, and he never seemed able to realize that any one had a right to cross his will, but we got on wonderfully well together and his death will be a dis-' tinet loss to me, at least.” “Well, sir, I'll not say the tip came !fln.'you. but Il look into this mat- ter of Mr, Creveling being maybe off HOW MANY CARDS?

Presently he put down his fish-rod and began to hurry. As he drew near the swamp Sammy Jay flew a bit further in, all the time keeping up his screaming. It was as if he were following some one. Farmer Brown's Boy thought he was. Fach time he got near Sammy moved on. 7 By this time Farmer Brown’s Boy had quite forgotten that he wanted to go-fishing. He wanted now more than any thing else to find out what Sammy Jay was making such a fuss about, and he meant to find out. As he entered the swamp he moved slow- ly and carefully so as to make no noise. He knew that if Sammy was watching one of his neighbors, Reddy Fox, for instance, the only way to find out who it was would be to keep unseen and unheard himself. So Farmer Brown's Boy stole through the swamp as quietly as he could; and this was very quietly indeed, for he had learned much from his little neighbors of the Green Forest and Green Meadows about how to see without being seen. By this time others had begun to wonder what Sammy was making such a racket for. Blacky the Crow, who is Sammy’s big_cousin, was on his way back from the Green Forest to find out what was going on. Old Man Coyote had awakened from a nap and was wondering whether it would be worth while to run over to the swamp. Old Granny Fox had al- ready started. And_many of the feathered folk were flying as fast as they could toward the swamp. Sammy knew this. It was always so when he made a racket like this. But as long as Farmer Brown's Boy continued to come_ he didn’t care about the others. He was the onl one that mattered -now. The trees were thick and Sammy could not see far among them. Once he stopped screaming and silently stole back to make sure that Farmer Brown’s Boy hadn’t given up. Farmer Brown's Boy was standing still listening. Sammy hurriedly flew back and be- gan to scream again. Gradually Sammy drew nearer and nearer to where the young Heron w held fast in that dreadful trap which some one had set and then forgotten. His mother, Mrs. Longlegs, was with was in the distance she had paid no attention to him. But as he drew nearer and nearer she began to grow anxious. What could it mean? If Sammy kept on he would come straight to where they were. Did it mean that Reddy Fox or some other enemy was stealing through the swamp and Sammy was_following trying to spoil their hunting, as he so often did? Mrs. Longlegs was prepared to fight to save that young Heron even though it might oest her own lif Then Sammy Jay appeared. He perched in a tree just above them | == ; i T Han THE KEEN EYES OF MR LEGS CAUGHT A GLIMP: FORM ~ MOV AMON! TREES. and screamed harder than ever. He screamed as fast as his tongue could £o. Mrs. Longlegs glared up at him ngrily. She began to suspect that Sammy had _discovered the trouble that young Heron was in and was bringing an enemy ther. “It is all right. all_right,” Sammy cried to her. “Help is com- ing.” Then a twig snapped and the quick, keen eyes of Mrs. Longlegs caught a glimpse of a form moving among the trees. Her heart sank. oIt was one of those terrible two-legged creatures called men. It was useless to try to fight him. Even the courage of her brave mother-heart was not equal to facing such an enemy. With a heart-broken scream she spread her broad wings and flew away just as Farmer Brow Boy stepped out on the edge of the Laughing Brook close to the young Heron. Sammy Ja stopped screaming. He had been suc- LONG- E OF A THE WARNS OF INCREASE OF WHITE SLAVE TRADE Danger of “Tremendous” Growth Throughout World, Declares So- cial Association Attorney. NEW YORK, August 13.—Warning of the danger of a tremendous in- crease in _white slave trafficking yesterday by Maj. Bascom Johnson. throught the world was given atiorney for the American Social Hygiene Association. He has just re- turnea from Geneva, where he rep- resented the association at the inter- national conference on traffic in wo- men and children, called by the league of nations. “Owing to conditions following the war the trade is bound to flourish unless the nations of the world agree on stera repressive measures,” he de- clared. > “The general opening of frontiers and the increase in number of women and girls who can neither marry _nor find adequate means of support are the main con- trib®ing causes.” 4 He charged the main hindrance to internationai control of the traffic lay in the refusal of the government of the United States to co-operate in the movement, because it was sponsored by the league of nations. The United States. he added, was the only power not officially represented at the Ge- neva conference. He was sent, he said, as an unofficial observer by the Hygiene Association.

DISCOVER COUNTERFEIT PLOT IN REFORMATORY Bogus Notes Made for Months in Ohio Prison, According to Prisoner’s Confession. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 13.—A counterfeit plot hatched at the Ohio state reformatory, at Mansfield, by prisoners, who carried out their work of manufacturing and circulating bogus bank notes for months within prigon walls, was revealed by United States secret service agents here. The plot was discovered by Supt. T. C. Jenkins _and Asst. Supt. C. W. Rowe of the reformatory through investigation of a tip from one of the “trusties” at the institutioh. As a result two prisoners, King Williams, eighteen, and John Kmets, eventeen, who are to be paroled soon, will be arrested upon their re- lease and turned over to the federal authorities to be tried on_charges of counterfeiting, federal officials said. A close watch was kept on several suspects in the reformatory and, sev- eral weeks ago, Asst. Supt. Rowe said, he caught Williams in the act of putting the finishing touches on a bogus $5 bill. After a severe exami- nation, reformatory officials say, Wil- liams admitted making and passing counterfeit bills for months.
