Richard Van Loo Schuyler, the last son of one of New York's oldest and wealthy families, arrives home partial- ly intoxicated one night, walks into the wrong house and stumbles over the body of a murdered woman. Realizing the dangers of his predica- ment he flees to his home next door. In the morning he receives a call for help from a servant girl next door, to whom he has been attracted. She tells him her name is Nora and says she has just discovered the corpse of her mistress, a Mrs. Rutledge, who ap- peared to have been murdered during the night. In the absence of any one in the house except the servants, Richard takes charge and summons a physician and the police. When he tells Nora what he has done he is surprised to hear her say, “I am going to ask something more of you, you know the best reward for having wrought well—" e “Is.to have more to do,” answered Richagd, “‘Is to have more to do".” Hs completed the sentence. ‘Well, what is it?” “1 have somethin, her she said slowly, ‘“something of great impor- tance to me and of no interest to any one else in the world. . The police are likely to search the servants’ room, are they not?” “Yes,” very gravely. “I don’t want them to find these. It would be difficult to explain their being in my possession and it might ruin my whole future. Is it an im- possible thing I am asking? It means so much to me and there is no harm in it! It's my own secret and an in- nocent one. You do' believe me?” 'He looked for a long time into the steadfast gray eyes. At last, “I do believe you,” he said, and held out his hand for the packet. The doorbell rang loudly. With an air of finality Dick slipped the pack- et into the inner pocket of his coat. “Probably the doctor,” he said warningly and, to give her a moment in which to compose berself and to spare her as mueh as possible of the tragedy in the hall, himself moved to open the door. ‘The doctor was a busy little men with a large and very wealthy clien- tele. “Been dead some hours,” he said. What If the Hupmobile | Was $5,000Instead of $1,485 Supposing the Hupmobile cost $5,000, instead of $1,485 (f. o. b. Detroit). The processes by which it is manufactured would still be the same. : You wouldn’t say such pro- cesses are unusual for a costly car in the $5,000 class. But you would say they are unusual for cars of the Hupmobile price. Such processes include the use of finer materials; more search- ing material tests; more scientific and exact shop and machine work, and rigid inspection of fin- ished parts. Great economy, small repair costs, day-after-day reliability, long life, and high re-sale value —these are the qualities that make the Hupmobile worth more. And they are the direct results of Hupmobile production methods. Do you now wonder why it is that the Hupmobile is valued so highly by the ever increasing number of owners right here in town?

If the coroner wants me he’ll know where to find me. Ah, here come th@police. I'll speak to them as I go out.” Dick watched him as he stopped on the steps to exchange a few words with a broad man in the uniform of a captain of police and a smaller man in plain clothes. Then the doctor ran on down the steps and Dick held the door open for the officers of the law. The large man passed Dick with a nod and the smaller man followed. “Why, Peter!” Schuyler’s exclama- tion was one of surprise and pleas- ure. ‘“Mr. Schuyler! For the lofe of Mike! What are you doing here?” “Tell you in a minute. Come in and shut the door.” The police officer had removed his hat and now stood looking gravely down at the evidences of a tragedy. “Do I understand that you are not Mr. Rutledge?” said the officer, in a deep, somewhat husky voice. “My name is Schuyler,” Dick re- plied, and in a few words explained that he had been called in by one of the maids as he was passing the house. “How well did you know people?” asked the officer. “Only’ very slightly, hardly more than a bowing acquaintance.” “And you've never been in house before?” “No,” after a slight hesitation. “My name's O’Malley and this is Peter Clancy, one of the most prom- ising detectives on the force—er, Pete? But you seem to be acquaint- ed already.” “Will you come here, Miss?” O’Mal- ley continued. these the ... CHAPTER II. . O’Mallay Investigates. The girl in the back room started from the shadows and came slowly forward. Her face was very pale, but her manner was_quiet and con- trolled. “Now, young woman, what is your name?” O’Malley asked and took out a note-book. “Nora Brady, sir.”, “Been here long?” asked O’Malley. “About four months, sir.” “It was you who discovered body.” “Yes.” “Where are the other servants?” “They have all been sent out to open the house in Tuxedo except the town ‘housekeeper—Miss MacLeod— and the cook.” “Mrs. Rutledge had been out, suppose.” “Yes, sir.” “Do you know where she went?” “To the theater, I think.” '“At what time did she go?” “Right after dinner.” ‘Did she dine alone?” “No, sir.” “Mr. Rutledge was here at time, then?” ¢ “No, sir.” “Who dined with Mrs. Nora?” “A friend of th> family, a Mr. Cuth- bert Pendleton.” “Did he go to the theater with Mrs. Rutledge?” “They went out together.” “But you don’t know whether he took her to the theater and brought her home?” “I don't know for certain.” “That will be all for the present, Nora,” said O'Malley, closing his note- book. “Now, if you will be good enough, I think we’d better have the housekeeper down.” ‘While Capt. O’Malley was telephon- ing the station, to ask for a couple of men, Dick went over and :joined the young detective at the window. “Any notion how long I'll be kept here, Peter?” asked'Schuyler, quiet- Iy. the I that Rutledge, “Only till the coroner gets here, I should think,” answered this young friend in the same low tone.

K. As soon as the coroner comes you can answer any questions he may want to ask you and they won't call you for the inquest.” Dick experienced a distinct feeling of relief. Nora and the old housekeeper ap- peared and passed into the drawing- room. The woman was seated in the chair that Nora had recently occu- pied. “I was nurse to Mr. Rutledge when he was a baby,” she was saying in a low, somewhat tremulous voice, ‘“and T've been with the family ever since.” A Scotch burr, almost eradicted by ABLETO DO HER WORK After Long Suffering Mrs. Siefert Was Restored to Health by Lydia E.

"Yoa mean that Nora—" “Notla is a good girl—I'm sure of it!” said the old lady, with convic- tion. “I Nced her looks from the start, but she had no references and I didn’t like to take her.” Dick looked at Nora. Her lids were lowered and her face was Vvery white and still. Suddenly he saw her head fall back. He sprang to his feet, but the captain was before him. ““She’s fainted,” ha said quietly. “Some water, quick!"” Miss McLeod had risen. Her rather set old face meélted with pity and compunction. “I'll get it in a min- ute,” she said and left the room hur- riedly. As she returned with a brimming class in her hand, Clancy, who had been an intensely interested specta- tor, intercepted her just as she reached the unconscious girl. “Let me do this,” he said gently, noting the old lady’s trembling hand.” “You can take her up to her room now if you will, Miss MacLeod,” said O’'Malley after a short time, as he noted the return of a steady, rhythmic throb under his fingers and watched the color creeping slowly back to Nora’s lips. The cook proved to be a heavy, soft-footed Irish woman, neither old nor young, with enigmatic, roving eyes set in a broad red face. O’Malley at once recognized her as Sarah Con- nors, formerly in trouble in connec- tion with some shoplifting exploits. The woman was terrily scared at the sight of the captain and declared she had given up her old criminal habits and was now living an honest life. She denied all knowledge of anything connected with the murder and be- came hysterical. The fact remained that she had been alone in the basement all night and could have admitted any one from the street without attracting at- tention. Despairing of getting any- thing further from her in her pres- ent condition, O’Mally told Peter to give her in charge of the officer in the basement. Peter Clancy was eager to get back to the scer2 of the mystery, now that asked O'Malley, quiet turned her head The, captain followed her ithey had learned all that was pos- sible for the present from the living persons in the house. Having turned the soi-distant Sarah Connors over to Sullivan, the officer in charge of the lower regions, he ran quickly up the basement stairs and found himself in the butler’s pantry. This small room, fitted with the customary shelves and appliances, had three dcors. The one at his left was a swinging door «overed TROUBLED WITH DANDRUFF YEARS AlsoPimples. HairThinand FellQut.

The door opposite. the head of the stairs was the one he had_used in leaving the library. The door at the right was exactly like the dining-room door and, must lead directly into the hall - Peter thought. Glancing toward the small glazed aperture he saw that all the lights in the hall had been turned on. Peter paused an instant, looking through the tiny window. All the hall, except that part hidden by the stair- way, was clear before him. He saw that the outer vestibule doors had been closed, so that no one could see in from the street. O'Malley was standing so that Peter saw him in profile, his heavy figure bent for- ward, studying intently the still form on the floor. Behind the captain and facing the pantry door stood Schuyler. His ex- pression was intent and anxious and as Peter looked he stooped sudden- ly, and then straightened as the young detective came through _the door. “Not much. to be determined about the body until we can move it,” said O’Malley as Peter came forward. “The wound is-in the back and there are no marks to be seen—Well Murphy,” to the officer who had just appeared at the drawing-room door, “Could you get him?” “No, sir. I got his house on the wire and, by luck, the chauffeur an- swered the phone. He says that Mr. Pendleton left town this morning on an early train, for a house party somewhere in the country down near Philadelphia, he thinks.” “Pendleton!” exclaimed Clancy. “That's the man she went out with last night.” O’Malley nodded and turned again to Murphy. ‘‘Well,” he said sharp- ly, *“don’t they know the name of the people he's stopping with or the town ‘he went to?” “No, sir. He was only going to be gone till Monday and didn’t leave any address. All thc man knows is that he took Mr. Pendleton to the Pennsylvania station about 8:30 o’clock this morning.” O’Malley, a man of few words, nod- ded silently. He was holding some- thing. in his hand and Murphy and Schuyler were looking at it with eager interest. It was nothing of special significance—just a partly used paper of matches with the name of a well- known cigar store on the outside. There were millions of papers exactly like it all over the country. Richard had been standing per- fectly, still on the spot where Peter had first.seen him when he returned to the hall. There was no possibility of their searching - him, especially with Clancy to véuch for him, but he longed ardently to get away. He had taken only a step or two toward the drawing-room when a muttered exclamation from Peter ar- rested him. The young detective had been examining the black-and-white marble floor with a microscope and had progressed just beyond the bot- tom of the stairs. “Look here, captain,” he said, and the older man, who had been study- ing the immediate surroundings of the body, quickly joined him and dropped heavily to his knees. Drawn by an Irresistible fascina- tion, Dick followed. Near the wall which supported the staircase, on one of the white squares of the floor, lay a single irregular circle of dark red. A drop of blood, plain and unmistakable. Once they stopped simultaneously and Dick, by craning his neck, could just discern an indistinct red mark as if something bloody 'had been drawn for a short space along the center of the floor. “Here’s the coroner,” said Murphy, sticking his heac through the cur- tains. “I'll go down and let him in.” The two men rose to their feet and came back down the brilliantly light- ed hall. “Come in her, Mr. Schuyler,” said O’Malley, taking Richard by the arm. “You can talk to the coroner at once and we won’'t have to keep you any longer.” They entered the drawing-room, leaving Clancy still hard at work in the hall. A brief explanation from O’Malley, a few questions from the coroner, and Dick was at last. given leave to depart. & “I'll just get my things from the hall,” he said, as O'Malley led the coroner toward the scene of the crime. As they drew back the curtains Peter Clancy was discovered in the act of rising, just in front of the set- tee. His face was eager and ex- cited. “I found it there in the shadow, O'Malley,” he exclaimed, pointing under the settee. It's still damp— see!” % He stretched out his hand. lay the light leather insole man’s shoe. The blood beat heavily in Richard Schuyler’s ears as he let himself out at the basement door. e A few moments later . Richard Schuyler, looking from his window, saw a cab drive up and stop in front of his door. From hif own room he had ordered it by telephone. He put his luggage into the cab himself, ig- noring the driver’s proffered services. He had decided that the package Nora had placed in his keeping would be safer if it was in his suit case, where he could keep it under his own watchful eye. He carried the pumps wrapped in an In it of a incriminating unmarkable paper (he had been careful about that) under his arm. (Continued Monday.) Notice Singer Oil Co. informing all customers that H.
