In the city room OF the star, FarrlSS,

were suddenly interrupted by a clatter

with grave emphasis. Frederick
Cavendish did not die intestate as sup
posed. He left n will"
Farriss blinked. That's interesting.
There was no evidence of that before"
'T got that from the servants OF the
College club" Willis interposed.
'The will was drawn the night before
the murder. And the man that drew

WELL" the city editor tapped his
desk "you two have done pretty we'll
so far. You've got considerable dope.
Now. what do you make Of itf'
"It may be a dream" Willis said,
smiling, "but here is the way I stack
1t up. The night after he quarreled
with John, Frederick Cavendish called
in Enright and made a will, presum-
ably cutting John Off with practically
nothing.
Immediately after Frederick's de-
parture, Enright calls Cartons cafe
and talks to John Cavendish. who had
been dining there with Celeste La Rue.

h.urs afterward Frederick Cavendish

Again It is reasonable to suppose that
he was croaked by John Cavendish,

he could claim the estate.
"The dead man is buried, and John

One month later he receives a letter
asking him to call at Enright's office.
"what happened there is probably
this: Young Cavendish was Informed
of the existence of the will, and 1t was
offered to him at a price which he
couldn't refuse to pay-just then.
Perhaps he wa. frightened into
signing a promise TO pay as soon as
he came into the estate-tricked by
