R. CAVANAUGH finished read- ing the caption under a car- toon on the open page of the magazine, smiled appreciative- ly, and returned the periodical ‘with meticulous care to its place in the row on the library table. There was plenty of time to look at Mrs, Kane. He knew the embarrassing effect of a pause—already he had put Mrs. Kane on the defensive by forcing her to open "=, the conversation. ‘When at last he looked up his glance was, casual, with no effect of scrutiny. He Saw before him a tall, heavy-boned woman, whose hair, shinily black like shoe polish, was drawn up from her forehead in a still sausage formation— the “pompadour” in.vogue 20 years ago. “Dyed,” Dr. Cavanaugh inwardly commented. ~ “Now, why should she bother to dye her hair? Not for beauu certainly.” Her skin showed a network of tiny blood vessels. Her checks and nose had a tight, red, shiny look, cven as her hair was tight, black and shiny. That nose was the dominant feature—a heavy beak overshadowing a sunken mouth. “False teeth,” Dr. Cavanaugh con- tinued his silent observations. *“And put in far too late, after the gums had shrunken.” Mrs. Kane's dress, like her hair, fol- lowed an extinct fashion. It touched the ground with its dusty hem-binding of dingy black. The collar and cufls| were rumpled and showed a faint brown line at the wrist and neck. “A visit to the cleaner's and the laundry would seem to have been in- dicated—not at all the attire to be ex- Decwd of a servant in a millionaire’s home.” With all this, Dr. Cavanaugh’s ! survey had been so brief and unobtru- sive that Mrs. Kane was left with the impression that it was she who stared. It was a hard, belligerent stare, from small but by no means dull, black eyes. “I won't take up much of your time, Mrs. Kane,” Dr. Cavanaugh began courteously. “But won’t you sit down?” “I'm busy. Besides, I prefer to stand.” A dramatic old codger! Whoever first started the idea, firmly fixed in the cheaper sort of literature, that it was the thing to “prefer to stand” in the presence of an enemy? Had it an an- thropological basis—readiness to give instant physical battle? Dr. Cavanaugh decided to look it up some time. Mean- while it had its advantages. It showed conclusively that Mrs. Kane was not | * merely indulging her usual forbidding manner, but regarded him definitely as an antagonist. “‘Indeed? I should have thought your duties would be considerably lightened in your mistress’ absence,” he remarked suavely. “My duties concern myself. I believe you hfld something to say to me.” Dr. Cavanaugh had some difficulty in restraining his eyes from a fascinated attention to Mrs. Kane's mouth. The false teeth had, indeed, been installed too late. ‘When she spoke, the upper set moved up and down beneath her lip, like & stage drop retreating and appearing behind a lifted curtain. But her manipulation was expert. The teeth moéved with a gruesome independence, but they never quite fell out, and whex she stopped speaking the clamp of her jaws thrust them into place with a slight click. ' The necessity of this con- stant management gave her sentence a clipped, jerky brevity. “Well, to a5k you, rather,” naugh amended, that Mr. Ellsworth came to me for ad- vice when Mrs. Ellsworth left?” “Mr. Ellsworth didn't seem to bother much until‘the police got busy,” Mrs. Kane remarked grimly. “At your request, I believe.” “He made me mad. I don't say I had ought to done it, if I'd stopped to think. But when I asked him what he was going to do he said, ‘I druther not dis- cuss it.”” Mrs, Kane's thin lips snapped shut, and Dr. Cavanaugh found himself waiting anxiously for the reassuring click. “He ‘druther not,’ indeed!” Thc voice I harshly. “Well, there's ot folks as has their druthers, as well him. I've got my druthers, too, if want to know!” As if realizing that she was opening too much of her mind to this stranger, she stopped. Her whole face seemed to shut down, to become an expressionless mask. “I think you did quite right, Mrs. Kane. You showed excellent judgment.” ‘The praise brought a momentary flash from the small black eyes. “I don’t know about that” she snidl grudgingly. Then the impulse to un- Joad a “piece of her mind” to a willing listener became too strong. “Fancy losing a lady like Miss O'Shay and pay- ing no more attention than if it was a lost dog that you might inquire for at the pound when you got around to it! An insult to Miss O'Shay, it \\‘ls—heri that's had lords of Europe waiting at the stage door for her, and princes begging her to take their strings of | pearls, and risking what their king- dads would do, which would be a plenty, if they ever found out. ’lw:sl.l them around her little finger, she | would, in them days.” “You must have been with her for a Jong time,” Dr. Cavanaugh venture in a voice from which he banished all undue curiosity. But Mrs. Kane was guard. “Oh, you needn't think Miss O'Shay was a has-been. She didn’t have to take up with that millionaire whipper- snapper because he was a last chance, not by any means! And why wouldn't she leave him, if she had a mind to, T'd like to know! “She did leave him, then?” “I know nothing about it.” The click this time was clearly audible. With amused admiration, Dr. Cavanaugh rec- ognized its effectiveness as a means of emphasis. “Still,” he mused, “she might not have meant to go. Did you ever notice in Miss O'Shay—tactfully he avoided the title “Mrs. Ellsworth,” toward whicn Mrs. Kane had shown such marked aversion—"any signs of eccentricity, of unstable mental balance?” “You mean, was she crazy?” “I should riot put it so strongly, but | lhat is the idea.” “If you doctors would learn to spcak plain English, maybe fewer of your pa- tients would die. If Miss O'Shay was crazy, I'd say it was her own business.” “Yes, it might be,” Dr. Cavanaugh's tone was placating. y the way, do you read the newspapers?” He shifted | ground suddenly. “Do I read the newspapers! I've kept Miss O'Shay’s scrap book of clippings s:nce—for years. And the books would fill a shelf as long as that"—pointing to the bookcase behind him—“I'm tell- ing you.” “Then you know,” Dr. Cavanaugh's voice was still unhurried, but he was foreing the pace now, “that an un- identified body has been found in the tule marsh, lnd that I have been asked to aid in the attempt to identify it. I may be able to make that identification complete if I can secure a hair belong- ing to Miss O'Shay. I came to ask if you will be so kind as to get it for me.” For an instant Mrs. Kane's eyes Dr. Cava- instantly on “Perhaps you know " | widenad, showing a rim of whitz r the irls. The nostrils of her beak nose flared with the sudden intake of her breath. The network of veins on her cheeks stood out against the sur- rounding pallor like a miniature rail- road map drawn in red ink. Her lips worked convulsively. “I'll do nothing of the sort!” she said in a high, strained voice. And then it happened—the thing for which every one who talked with Mrs, Kane watched with horrified expec- tancy. Those imperfectly fitted upper teeth fell out and clattered to the fioor. “Oh!” sald: Dr. Cavanaugh gently. “I'm sorry. Allow me." His heavy bulk covered the space be- tween them with incredible swiftness. He stooped to recover the ghastly white semi-circle, and as he rose the fingers of his left hand plucked, unnoticed, a lt‘)(?g, auburn hair from Mrs. Kane's skirt. (To be continued.) REPUTED LOVE CULT REVEALED IN COURT Leader, 60, of Vancouver Colony Arrested on Embezzlement Charge. By the Associated Press VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oc- tobel’ 29.—A reputed love cult, with a reported membership of 2,000 Ameri- cans and Canadians, was revealed yes- terday in a series of charges and coun- ter-charges of theft over the handling of the institution’s funds. The colony, known as the Aquarian Foundation, had attracted little notice in its sequestered location on Vancouver Island until its G0-year-old leader and its secretary- treasurer were arrested for embezzle- ment. Discord broke into strife when Ed- ward A. Wilson, president of the foun- dati . and known as “Brother XIIL" opened another colony nearby. He fol- lowed this by accusing Robert England, secretary-treasurer and reported former American secret service agent, with em- bezzling $2,800. England, released on bail, retaliated by accusing Wilson of misappropriating $13,000. Wilson was released on $20,- 000 bond only to be faced by injunc- tions and trespass charges. The colony is said to have been founded by about a dozen wealthy Americans and Canadians for the study | of philosophy, the betterment of man- kind, the benefit of posterity and the uplifting of. members.

Letterman and members of his liquor squad, Mrs. Margaret Gus- tin changed her hospitable welcome to one of frigidity at her home near Grant Circie Saturday night. G. C. McCarron, a member of the squad, had paid an earlier visit and purchased a bottle of moonshine, he re- ported. Sergt. Letterman followed and Mrs. Gustin and her husband, William Gustin, were arrested on charges of illegal possesion. An additional charge of selling liquor was lodged against Mrs. Gustin. Forewarned, Sergt. Letterman learned the password necessary to gain en- trance to the home and was met with “a glad to see you” from Mrs. Gustin. But she changed her greeting when the liquor squad strung up its true colors. The squad reported seizing 8 gallons | of whisky and 172 bottles of beer.
