The murderer dead, killed in the dramatic cli max of a plot which he hoped rid him of Peebles, who had succeasfully unlocked the pussle of Andrew Og- death, Peebies’ little red note.

CHAPTER 48 NINE LINKS 1 put away my little red notebook. “Those,” I said, “are the nine links in my chain of evidence against MacNair. In bulk, the chain is im- premsive; unlink it and you will find that most of the links are weak.” “I don’t know about that,” Dea- con objected. “I thought you had & pretty strong case.” T shook my head. “It might have got & conviction in an English court, hut I doubt if it would have in an American. | “MacNair had been too clever to leave any tangible clew behind him.

He fixed | on the cunning, half-witted old des ert rat, Furle. Furie’s violent quar- rel with Andrew had provided him with motive for the crime. “But first he must plant Jerry's flannels in Torridity, as the trail inevitably would lead there. And| this on BSunday morning MacNair proceeded to do. Not to further in. volve Jerry, remember, but to sup- port the charge of murdering An drew and getting away in Jerry's flannels that he purposed bringing against Furie. “1, also, went to Torridity Sun- day morning.. Neither of us had expected the other to be there— yet. MacNair now saw that while T might not have enough evidence to convict him he could not fasten the guilt on Furie while I lived And — I was an increasing source of danger to him. He concocted his beautiful scheme for disposing of Furie and me and insuring his own safety at one blow. “His scheme was absurdly sim- ple. He would shoot both of us here in Torridity and bring our Lodies together. Then he would re- | you were going to sell it to Afdrew | ye bust me under the chin. Git on with it, will ye!" This was encouragement and I proceeded. “You see, if MacNair had won. his story of the shooting would have been true. As I swept up my pistol I looked for MacNair to come pouring in. But he was still wait- ing. My eye fell on the dummies indeed, nftrmed the story of Dillon's plot and I though of that psychological trick Andrew used 30 years ago. “MacNair was familiar with Furie’s astonishing hat and shirt. As you see, T put hoth on Napoleon. | pretending that Furie was on the point of shooting me. Then ‘I fired |my pistol twice. MacNair rushed | |in, saw Furie's hat, and fired at the dummy three timgs before he took a second glance. Then he whirled upon me, bringing up his pistol to | kill me. That was the overt act 1 had been waiting for.” They were standing around |like mourners at a burying. 1 ran a quizzical eye from Nathan Hyde to Roy Hammond. “It seeras to me,” I observel shrewdly, “that Hammond one: | prospected these parts‘as a young | me “Is it possible that he was down hera recently and discoverea the new entrance to the Two Brothers? |Is it possible that he went to Nathan Hyde and that between them they dug up the story of that incredible poker game?

GIVES RULES FIR HAPPY MARRIAGES Defermination and Teamwork Neoded, Says Alabama Pastor Birmingham, Ala., June 22 (@— The most carping critics of marriage as an institution are those too in- different to work out a feasible plan for marital success and adhere to it. This is the opinion of Dr. J. E. Dillard, Baptist pastor and widely known writer-lecturer. “By their own actions critics un- dermine the foundations of happy married life, and when their homes come tumbling down they blame marriage,” Dr. Dillard says. “The number of divorces in proportion to marriages would be materially lowered if the woman would put as much time into home-making and effort to make her husband happy as she does in trying to find reasons for divorce.” Dr. Dillard listed 10 command- ments for housewives, Wwhich he said would make marriage success- ful, if observed. They are: “Thou shalt remember thy mar- | riage vows, and act as thou thinkest other married women ought to act. “Thou shalt determine to make thy marriage a succeas and be will- ing to pay the price thereof. Study, plan, work, pray, give and forgive if thou wouldst make success of thy marriage. “Thou shalt learn to work in ‘double harness!' 8tudy thy hus- band, his likes and dislikes; stress thy duties rather than thy rights. “Thou shalt keep thyself attrac- tive in person and manner. Look thy best, be thy sweetest and never nag. Never say cutting things about folks, especially his folks, and most especially his mother. “Thou shalt watch the little things. Keep the house clean; cook his favorite dishes; see that buttons are sewed on and the mending done. “Thou shalt sympathize with thy husband In his trials and help him in his business. Put thyself in his place; don’t expect luxuries and comforts ye cannot afford. Be eco- nomical but not stingy. “Thou shalt make thy home so attractive that thy husband will not want to go to his club or the smoker for a little peace and comfort. “Thou shalt never compromise thy convictions of right and duty, but be carefdl not to mistake thy selfishneas and stubbornness for convictions. “Thou shalt not pity thyself nor talk of thy ailments unduly nor let others persuade you that you are having & hard time. Your success will be worth all it costs and more. “Thou shalt be a Christian every day at home as well as at church and in society. and when thou hast made a mistake, back up and try again.” — BIG LENS AND LEG MEN ‘Washington, June 22 P—Agile lens and leg men, who take a pic- ture and develop and print it on the 8pot, reap a harvest as warm weu- ther bLrings tourists flocking to Washington.
