 "Go on, if you please" the detec- tive said chee1fully
 I think Wardrop realized the ab- surdity of trying to make any one be- lieve that part of the story. He threw i up his head. as if he intended to say nothing further.
 "Go on,'' | urged. If he could clear himself he must. could not go back to Margery Fleming and tell her that her father had been murdered and her lover was accused of the crime.
 +"The bag was empty" he repeated. i"I had not been five minutes trying,to open the shutters. and yet the bag had been rifed. Mr. Knox here found it among the flowers below the veranda empty"
 The chief eyed, me with awakened interest

 ''So; am attorney to Miss Letitia Maitland and was there one night as her guest I found the bag as MT. Wardrop described. empty"

POL.I'S

Commencing Monday, the Poli play CTS will present Mary Jane's Pa" one of the greatest comedies ever cons tributed to the American stage It was written by Edith Ellis Baker and every situation line and phrase is symbolic of her brilliant wit It is sufficient proof of it's nigh-standing in the theatrical world, when you re- call that Henry DiXey, the noted com edian used it as a starring medium for two seasons. The scenes are laid in little town in Indiana, named Gessport and is rep1ete with the usual country characters which make play of this type ospleasingl and en- tertaining. Although not exactly a
 moral play, it is, nevertheless, noted for it's strong character parts and in- tensely dramatic situations. "The House Next Door, still continues to please and draw favorable comment from it's audiences. Written by J. Hartley Manners in his most daring style. it tends both to entrance and amuse. It deals with the ancient pre- 'judices of men and their egotistical beliefs. There is clever love story in- terwoven in the play in which MT. Melrose and Miss Adair, Miss Cliff and Mir. Moore are the principals. MT. Hummell, MT. Macauley, Miss Starr

 I went across the, hall to the room where the noise was loudest. Dr. Gray was opening can of caviar at ta- ble in tbe corner and came out in re sponse to gesture.
 "Flemingr' he said awed, as he looked down at the body Fleming. by all that's sacred-and suicider..
 "How long has he been dead?'' Hun ter asked.
 s'Not an hour-probably less than half. It's strange we heard nothing across the hall there.
 Hunter took clean folded handker- chief from bis pocket and. opening it, laid it gently over the dead face. The doctor got up from his kneeling pos ture beside. the couch and looked at Hunter inquiringly:
 What about getting him away from here?" he said, s'There is sure to be lot of noise about it, and you remem- Der what happened when Butler killed himself here' S
 "He was reported as being found dead in the lumber yard .'' Hunter said dryly. well, doctor, this body stays where it fs,' and don't give a whoop if the whole city government wants it moved. It won't be. This. is murder, not suicide.'' l
 The doctors expression was curious.
 "Murder!" he repeated. Why ! who''-
 Z But Hunter had many things to at tend to. He broke in ruthlessly:
 '.See if you can get the house empty. doctor. Just tell them he is dead. The story will get out soon enough .
 The window gave me an idea, and I went over and tried to see through the strea ming pane.s There was no shed or low building outside, but not five yards away the warehouse showed its ugly walls and broken windows. E Look here, Hunter I said, Ssswhy could he not have been shot from the warehouse ?''
 He could have beeny but he wasn't Hunter affirmed, glancing at War sirops dropping figure. MT Wardrop, I am going to send for the coroner and then shall ask you to go with me to the office and tell the chief what you know about this. Knox, will you tele- phone to the coroner?"
 In an incredibly short time the club house was. emptied, and before mid night the coroner arrived and went up to the room. I sat in the deserted room downstairs and tried to think how I was to take the news to Margery.
 At 12:30 Wardrop, Hunter and the coroner came downstairs, leaving a de- tective in charge of the body until morning. when it could be taken home. The coroner had a cab waiting, and he took us at once to Hunters chief. He had not gone to bed. and we filed into his library sepulchrally.
 Wardrop told his story. The chief occasionally asked a question, The coroner. who was yawTing steadily, left in the middle of Wardrop's story as if in his mind, at least, the guilty man was as good as hanged

 through relationship on his wife's side. I have held the position for three years. Before that read law. For some time I have known that MT. Fleming used a drug of some kind. Until week ago did not know what it was. On the 9th, of May MT. Fleming sent for me. T was in Platts- burg at the time, and he was at home. He was in terrible condition-not sleeping at all--and he said he was being followed by some person who meant to kill him. Finally he asked me to get him some cocaine, and when he had taken it he was more like him. self. I thought the pursuit was only in his own head. He had a man nam ed Garter on guard in his house and acting as butler.
 There was trouble of some sort in the organization; do not know just what. MT. Schwartz came here to meet Mr.. Fleming, and it seemed there was money needed. MT. Fleming had to have it at once. He gave me some securities to take to Plattsburg and turn into money. I went on the 1Oth''- :, "Was that the day Mr. Fleming dis appeared?" the chief interrupted.
 "Yes. He went to the White Cat and stayed there, No one but the caretaker and one other man knew hes was there. On the night of the 21st I came back, having turned my se curities into money. carried it in a package in q small Russia leather bag that never left my hand for moment.

 Wardrop's face twitched nervously.
 You have been misinforrned," he re- piled, but no one was impressed by his From Hunters face I judged it had been random shot and had landed unexpectedly well.
 How many people knew that MT. Fleming had been hiding at the White Cat:'' from the chief.
 Every few-besides myself. only man who looks after the clubhouse in the mornings and Clarkson, the cash fer of the Borough bank. who met him there once by appointment"
 The chief made no comment.
 "Now, MT. Knox. you heard no shot while you were i'll the hall?"
 There was considerable noise. 1 heard two or three sharp reports like the explosions of an automobile en- zine"
 You are right about the automo- bile,'' Hunter said. 'sThe mayor sent his car away as I left to follow MT. wardrop. The sounds you heard were not shots.
