Dallas was pleased with himself. Not only was the de- ‘tective chief convinced Zelda Lansing murdered Janice Hume, but he was going to force from her the secret of Percy Jones hiding place. Dallas considered Zelda the key to the whole puzzle. And Riley Blackwood also was pleased with himself. He tossed aside the papers, which atill found the dou- ble_ murder and Percy's disappearance first-page ne! and flattered his aunt with a suggestion of collabora- tion. “The photograph is our clue, Aunt Julle. We've got to find it!” Miss Blackwood sipped gently at her coffee. “Your idea is very in- genious, Johnny,” she admitted, but her tone suggested a mental reserva- ion. “It is & masterly deduction,” said her nephew. “The portrait itself is unimportant—we all know what she looked like. But it carried a clue to Rita Wingfield's past: the name and address of the man who made the photograph. Particularly the ad- dress. I wish to heaven I could re- member what it was!” Miss Blackwood's satin shoulders rustled an eerie protest. ‘And you believe this night club hussy has it because she used a cer- tain perfume,” she murmured sadly. “My dear Johnny, by the same argu- ment I might have taken the photo- graph myself. I've no idea what her perfume is—your description of it suggests extract of vanilla—but I haven't a doubt I wear it once a week.” Her aristocratic nostrils quiv- ered. “As for this Zelda Lansing,” she added, “she’s probably no better than she should be.” “'Oh, she's probably just that. Now, my dear Aunt Julie, if you mean that Zelda's—" Miss Blackwood's long white fin- gers rose swiftly until they covered her ears. “I won't listen to it, Johnny,” she protested. ‘“‘You needn’t go on. That's quitegenough about your friend Miss Lansing. How well the maples are looking this morning!" She stared out | of her window with determined en- should think,” she mur- that Mr. Fentress might get out on bond.” ‘He's tryi said her nephew, with a grin. talked to him on the telephone a little while ago. The { trouble is, Dallas believes shes a murderess. He's holding her incom- | municado.” | “Don't use your long words on me, Johnny,” said Miss Blackwood. He laughed quetly. “You see, Aunt Julie, it isn't just that this Wesst female uses that per- fume. | night club. also. It's the two circum- | stances taken together. If I'm right about the dancer, the trails lead to | the night club, and the thing begins | to make sense. Darn it, the perfume is only part of it!” “Don’t swear at me, Johnny,” said Miss Blackwood kindly. “I'm only try- ing to clarify your muddied thought.” “It isn't muddled. It's very clear. The night club is the heart of the mys- tery. I figured it out last night. Half a dozen of us from Janice's party ‘were drawn there—almost psychically —after Rita was murdered. And | there sat Colbath, surrounded by | dancing girls. Another point of as- sociation, you see! Last night he dis- appeared in peculiar circumstances— after a supper with Anne Gray. Col- bath knew Percy, and he probably knows the Wesst girl. Suppose he disappeared because he knew that Perc: had been there—at the club— the night he disappeared!” Miss Blackwood adjusted her cap. “What right have you to suppose such & thing” she demanded. “I've been supposing it now for a number of hours,” said her nephew amiably. “Percy left Janice's party at 2 o'clock in the morning or there- abouts, after a telephone call. At ap- proximately 3 o'clock he was seen by Fentress. driving south on the boule- vard and not far from the club. I venture to think he was driving away from the club—and why I didn’t think | of it before I can't imagine. The call | that took him from the party, I be- lieve, came from Miss Wesst. Colbath was certainly in the club between 2 and 3, and may very well have seen WOODWARD & LOTHROP I™Favw G Sazers New Cycelock A Yale lock built into * fork o0 lock fromt wheel ot such onangle it cemmot be rid- den or wheeled, Puowe Dismicr §300 Boy’s Bicycle $9 895 ;.

If he talked about it later—last night, for instance—or about Percy—" Mr. Biackwood his shoulders expressively. His aunt was shocked. “Do you mean that Mr. Colbath has been mur- dered?” “I don't know what I think, pre- cisely, about Colbath. He didn't get home last night—T called his residence s little while ago. Soomer or later, it he's all right, he'll call Miss Gray, I suppose. I talked with her this morn- ing, also. She hasn't heard from him.” “He is murdered,” said Miss Black- wood sharply. “John Riley, we've got to find him!* “We agree on that, at least, Aunt Julie,” said Riley Blackwood. He pushed away his coffee cup and stood up, and at the same instant his Chi- nese servant appeared dramatically in the doorway. “What is it, Jim?" he asked. “Young lady on telephone would like to speak with Mr. Riley Black- wood.” “Anne Gray,” said Blackwood, and hurried across the passage into his own chambers. It was indeed Anne Gray, with tid- ings of Rollie Colbath. “You asked me to call you, Mr. Blackwood, if I heard from him,” she apologized. “I've just heard. He's in a hospital. He called me him- self, to see if I was all right. But there’s nothing the matter with him now. It was something he had eaten.” “What hospital?” asked Blackwood. “Merciful heaven!” he fumed. What a fool the woman was. Had she both- ered to inquire? “The Henrotin,” she told him. He banged up the receiver and hurried for his hat and stick. When he had walked for half a block a taxi passed him and he shout- ed after it. Then he sat back in a| corner of the speeding car and gon- sidered the new development. Colbath had simply lied to Anne, of course. He was possibly quite ill, if | not serjously injured. Poisoned per- haps? Yet if he had been doped or battered, how had he escaped annihi- lation? Blackwood lay back against the cushions of his taxicab. For some minutes his mind became a projecting machine through which he ran the long film of Saturday’s events; and at the same time it was a luminous STAR, WASHINGTON, D. screen upon which those events were viewed. It Colbath—slightly malted—wining his flock of chorus girls on the night of Rita’s murder—among them pos- sibly Miss Valerie Wesst—had seen or heard something that later had come to have a meaning for him—for in- stance Percy Jones—rollicking in the cafe after he had been called from the party—and if later Colbath had asked questions—foolish questions of the management— His mind proceeded in jerks until the hospital had been reached. His me. conclusions were satisfactory. Mr. Blackwood was pleased, The mystery of Percy Jones, at least, was hastening to a solution. Colbath was talking recklessly to a nurse, “Hello, Blackwood!” he stared, smil- ing, and dropped the nurse’s fingers. “This is & surprise! You are Black- wood, aren’t you? Or is it Inspector Blackwood?” The nurse blushed and hurried from the room. “Inspector Blackwood, to you, Col- WOODWARD W= F a0 G Smezrs A Minute Riley Blackwood smiled amie ably. “Our first meeting, isn't #t?

Chloral hydrate is the name for it. Thirty drops for an adult. You drop it in his liquor.” “Is that what happened to you?” “It's precisely what happened to Colbath grinned cheerfully, (To be continued.) New Lure for Fish.

The eye is the sense organ of this type of vision and its ordinary adequate stimulus consists of chemical changes produced by the action of rays of light falling upon the nervous elements of the retina. This, of course, involves the nervous system and if vision is faulty or below normal, several unwelcome symptoms will ap- pear.
