KING WALTER C. 2 WET STRING : LUCK, Steve,” Lafferty re- ported; finished with his part of the search. ; “What've you got there?” *. “Just a length of twine,” Lafferty answered, “1 picked it off the door, thuckle. “Big clue?” he chaffed. — But Harper was paying little at- ‘at about’ twelve feet, “Du- has been wearing that loung- fing robe all morning,” he mused. “It gould have fallen from ‘his pocket.” He ran the tongh cord through his Gngers. “It feels wet here in the senter, Jack.” ‘ i HOUSE aaa. ing up and.down, head bent, eyes on the floor, hands thrust deep into his pockets. Harper moved on quietly, smiling to himself as he unlocked the door to the breakfant-room. He had no doubt but that the master of house had missed the piece of twine and was searching for it. et It was getting on toward ‘noon and Harper shut the door of the breakfastroom behind him and sat *} down at his work-table to re-arran{ his plans in accordance with ¢! vital changes the last few hours had made in the case. The case had now. been in Har per’s hands for something like four- teen hours and he had no need fo apologize for the progress made, There was not the slightest doubt in his mind that some one still prés- ent in this house had planned and executed this whole scheme, The difficulty would arise in linking o1 of them to the facts so long as.the identity of the masquerader re mained unrevealed. {t was impos- je to assign a motive out of their slender knowledge. by At least four of the eight persons in the Dufresne household were un- der direct suspicion in Harper's mind. He was mulling. over these various personalities, as they had revealed themselves:to his observa- tion under different phases, when ‘BABE RUTH-HURT BUT YANKS STILL _ WIN THEIR ¢ NEW YORKERS OBTAIN DE- CISIVE VICTORY OVER ATH- LETICS, FINAL ‘SCORE BE- ING 11 TO 4 (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, June 9.—The New York Yankees went to vic- tory over the Philadelphia Ath- letics by. a score of 11 to 4, de+ jspite the fact that Babe Ruth, the lbig Bambino, was injured during the game. The St. Louis Cardinals tri- umphed over the Pittsburgh Pi- rates, 6 to 2. The victory, in ad- dition to Cincinnati’s win over Chicago, enabled the Cards to jump from fourth to second place in the league standings. The Phillies defeated the New York Giants, 3 to 2. Curt Davis, rookie righthander, allowed the New Yorkers only six hits. The Cincinnati Reds outhit the Cubs, 10° to 8, and succeeded in downing the Chicago outfit by a score of 4°to 3. This was the Reds’ tenth victory this season. The Brooklyn Dodgers went to ‘|vietory over the ‘Boston Braves, : Harper glanced Into the drawing room.

Harper turned to the plump Ital- fan. “Can you identify these as hay- ing come from your stock?” “Yes, sir, We make everything in our own workrooms and I'd know our goods anywhere. The finest workmanship, sir.” Pagliottt spoke with very little accent, his bearing confident, his black eyes agleam with int t euriosity. | rup one of the pic “Is. this the man who made Hes. “When was the purchase made?” “Your man asked me that.

Here it is.” ‘The Italian proudly produced a cash sales voucher. The date was October tenth, ‘just three months to the day before the masquerader met bis death while wearing this pur chase. Here was a vital fact that was at variance with all other known féatures of the case, ®, you quite sure about all this?” “Lam positive,” replied Pagliott!, ‘promptly, “There is more to be told, am incident that fixed itself in my memory.” (Copyright. 1934, by Walter 0, Brown) 10 to 1. Van Mungo limited the Braves to four hits. The Detroit Tigers bested th Chicago White Sox. Sixteen hits were collected off the offerings of Earnshaw, Gallivan and Kinzy.
