Joha Waring. denes of Corinth The Volume of Martial. The medical examiner, Dr the detective Morton, and the segre- tary of the late John Waring, Gordon Lockwood, looked at one another. Without any spoken that might indicate a lack of harmony, there yet was a hint of dis- cord in their attitudes. Dr. Marsh was sure the case was a suicide. “You'll find the stiletto somewhere. Jie shrugged, when held upon that point. “To find the weapon is not my business—but when a man is dead in a locked room and dead from a wound that could have been self- admintstered, 1 can't see a murder situation.” Nor 1" said Lockwood. *“Has the wastebasket been spnrch‘d for the thing that killed him?" Acting quickly on his own sugges- tion. Gordon Lockwood dived beneath the great desk Like a flash Morton was after him, and. though the detective was not sure, he thought he saw the secretary grasp a bit of crumpled paper and stuff it in his pocket. Now. look here, T'll make that search.’ Morton exclaimed, and al- most snatched the wastebacket from the other's grasp. “Very well,” and Lockwood put his hands in his pockets and stood look- ing on. as Morton fumbled with the scraps. He emptied the basket on the floor, but there were only a few torn er velepes and memoranda, which were proved to be of ho indicative to the searcher T'll save the stuff, anyway." Mor- ton declared, getting a newspaper and wrapping in it the few bits of waste paper “Did you take a paper from this basket and put it in your pocket?’ the detectie suddenly demanded Lockwood. without moving, gave Morton a cold stare that was more negative than any words could be and was, moreover, exceedingly dis- concerting “Look here, Mr. Morton,” he u suspect me of killing m plover.‘come out and say so. in story-books, the first one to be suspected is the confidential secre- tary. So, accuse me, and get it over with.” The very impassivity of Lockwood's seemed to put him far Beyond and above suspicion, and the Wetec- tive hastily mumbled “Not at ‘all, Mr, Lockwood, not at all. Dut vou don't seem real frank, now, and you must know how impor- tant it is that we get all the first- hand intormation we can.” “Of course, and I'm ready to tell all I know. Go on and ask questions.” Well, then. what do you surmise has become of that five hundred dol- lars and that ruby stickpin? Doesn't their disappearance rather argue against suicide?” Lockwood meditated. “Not neces- garily. If they have been stolen ES ! Of course, they've been since they aren't "here! I e any safe.

He had no appearance of a criminal; he looked too proud and haughty to be a culprit; yet might that not be sheer bravado? Discontinuing the conversation, Morton turned his attention to the table in the window in the hall where the secretary so often sat. He examined the appurtenances, for the table was furnished almost like a desk, and he picked up'a silver pen- holder. It was round and smooth and with- out chasing or marking of any sort, &ave for the initials G. L. “This yours?" he asked, and Lock- ‘wood nodded assent. “I ask you, Dr. Marsh,” Morton turned to the examiner, ‘whether that wound which is in Dr. Waring's neck could have been made with t penholder.” Startled, Marsh took the implement and carefully scrutinized it. Of usual length, it was tapering and ended in a point. The circumference at the larger end was just about the circum- ference of the wound in question. “I must say it could be possible, Marsh replied, his eyes alternately on the penholder and on the dead man. “Yes, it is exactly the size.” “And it is strong enough and sharp enough, and it is round,” summed up Mortop. “Now, Lockwood, I make no accusation. I'm no novice, and 1 know there's a possibility that this might have been the weapon used, and vet it might not have been used by you. But:I will say that I have much to say to you yet and I advise You not to try o leave town.” “I've no intention of leaving town or of trying to do so,” Lockwood as- serted, “but,” he went on. “would you mind telling me, if 1 killed the man 1 was devoted to, how, I left the room locked behind me?" “Those locked rooms bore me.” said Morton. I've read lots of detective stories founded on that point. Inva- riably the locked room proves to be vulnerable at some point. 1 haven't finished examining the doors and win- dows as yet. “Proceed with your examinations, then,” said Lockwood; “if you can find a secret or concealed entrance it's more than I can do.” “More than you will do, but not necessarily can do.” “Don’t forget that vanished Japa- nese,” prompted Marsh.: “I've small faith in orientals, and if“there is a way to get in and out secretly I'd question the Jap before 1 would Mr. Lockwood here.” “So should 1.” declared the impas- sive secrewry himself. perhaps, more than you Al words having been . id, | was not | i 1 i I | | i | l l | j tive atmosphere, Marsh, | ! ing it was sulcide, what do vou think Leefeofoodel fiction, which I gather you take as your manual of procedure.” Lockwood's sarcasm drove Morton frantic, but he was too wise to show his annovance. “I shall negléect no possible suspect,” he said with dignity. 2 And then two men came from the police, who sall they were photog- raphers and desired to take some pic- tures, at the chief's orders. Lockwood left them and went to the living room, where the household and a few neighbors were assembled. “I'm glad to get out of that detec- he said, relaxing in an easy-chair. “It’s had enough to lave the man dead without seeing and Learing those cold-blooded police bun- gling over thelr ‘clues’ and ‘evidences.’ " “Tell me a iittle of the eircum- stances,” asked Mrs. Bates, who was present. “I can bear it from you, Gordon, and I must know." “Apparently, Dr. Waring was sit- ting at his desk. reading.” Lockwood began, with a faraway look, as if try- ing to reconstruct the scene. ‘“He must have been reading Martial—for { the volume was open on the desk— and the pages were bloodstained.” | tes gave a little cry, lndl went un- | Mrs. | shuddered. movably on “There were other books about. some open, some closed. but Martial was nearest his hand—quite as if he were veading up to the last moment.” “When the murderer came!"

That Morton detective is trying to trump up a way the assassin could have entered that locked room— Lut he can't find any way. 1 know he can't. So it must have been suicide. Much as we dislike to admit it, it is the only possible theory. “But they say there was robbery Mrs. Peyton put in. “The ruby pin is gone and the money from the drawer.” “But, perhaps.” Gordon said, “they were taken by a hber who did not also_murder his’ victim.

Lockwood “‘Certainly not for that.

The men, who were imprisoned in the mine for more than seventy-nine hours, were in good physical condi- tion when taken out.

Practically the entire population of Bicknell was on hand when the men were taken out and their con- gratulations for the latter were min- £led with cheers for the members of the mine rescue team whose heroic Wwork won approbation on every hand. | The rescuers who had worked since the cave-in in digging another shaft to the base of the mine were menaced constantly by the possibility of a cave-in of the new shaft which, be- cause of the press of time, was in- adequately supported. —_— BOYS REVEAL CRIME.

SEES UNIVERSAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE Mrs. Catt, Returned From Europe, Finds Nothing Wrong With Movement, World Over. By Ure Associated Press. NEW YORK, June .—The woman's movement is the one movement in the world not calling names or mobil- izing armies, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, suffrage leader, recently return- ed from a six-month trip abroad, de- clared before the League of Women Voters. “I came back with the conviction that woman suffrage is as firmly planted in Europe as in the United States,” she said. ““There is nothing wrong with the woman movement the world over; it is the one united move- ment in the world.” Mrs. Catt said she had gone to cen- tral Burope to help women organize to retain the political and personal freedom they had gained after the war, but that she had found the women_there protecting their newly | found freedom. Women everywhere. she said, were convinced the time had rot come to dissolve their organiza- tions. The suffrage leader expressed the opinion that the women of South America are a long way from the vote as vet. First, she said, they must be educated and must obtain the nullification of the Napoleonic code under which they live. South Amer- ica must walit a decade for woman's suffrage, she declared. She said she was so well pleased with the progress women were making that she was going to devote her “few remaining years to the men.” She urged that the United States lead the way out of the European maze through some form of interna- tional co-operation. She expressed the opinion that unless comething were done the Ruhr conflict would shake the foundation of the world. Already, she added, it referred to in France and Germany as “the war.” —_—— WILL PROBE HISTORIES.

The Tanners' Council, which in- | cludes 85 or 90 per cent of the leather | production of the United States, has maintained an important office In Washington since 1919, chiefly to get information from government offices |and to look after details connected with legislation. | The National Petroleum Association and the Western Petroleum Refiners Association may be mentioned as | typical of scores of important or | ganizations representing largest industries in the country which | maintain offices in the National Capi- | tal to transact business with practi- {cally every federal department. Then, too, there are dozens of big associations whose work through the national headquarters in Washington is principally alons educational or research lines, but which e an important bearing and influence upon business. One example of this will sutfice. The American Forestry Association is wholly of an educational charac- ter, devoting its entire energy and resources to the advancement of for- est conservation in America. Its offices were established in Washing- ton not only because this is the cen- ter of government, but because it is likewlise the hub of the nation's’ edu- cational facilities. The association publishes a maga- | zine, American Forestry, which has a world-wide circulation. From the standpoint of publishing the maga- zine alone, Washington offers ad- vantages which no other city in the country can equal. ‘The membership of this association numbers approximately 13.000 and they all deal with the Washington office. In view of the fact that the association is deeply interested in forest legislation by the nation and by individual states, Washington offers it an added advantage of keep- ing in up-to-the-minute touch with legislation throughout the natlon.
