John Cavendish requesting that h'
call, Mr.. Patrick Erright, Of Enrigh
and Dougherty, sat In his private offict
on the top floor of the COllander build
ing In Cortlandt street waiting for the
youths appearance. Since young
Cavendisi; had consulted him before
in minor matters, Mr.. Enright had ex
pected that he would call voluntarily
soon after the murder, but In this ne
was disappointed. Realizing that
Broadway was very dear to the young
man, Enright had made allowances,
until, weary of waiting, he decided to
get into the game himself and to this
end had dispatched the note, to which
Cavendish had replied both by tele-
phone and note.
"He ought to be here now," muir
mured Mr.. Enright sweetly, looking at
his watch, and soon the expected visl-
tor was ushered In. Arising to his
feet the attorney extended moist,
pudgy hand.

AS the youth complied Enright open

room, and gave orders not to be dis

drawing in his head, he closed the
door and turned the key.

He was calm. efficient, self-contained

John Cavendish of the WaldrOn apart

Cavendish, has been found dead In his
room and his safe rifled. Nothing has
been disturbed. Please hurry"
Perhaps half an hour later the police
came-twO bull-necked plain-clothes
men and fiannel-mouthed "cOp."
With them came three reporters, one
Of them a woman. She was young
woman, plainly dressed and, though she
could not be called beautiful, there
was certain patrician prettiness in
her small, oval womanly face with its
gray kind eyes, It's aquiline nose, it's
firm lips and determined Jaw, a certain
charm in the manner In which her
chestnut hair escaped occasionally
from under her trim hat. Young, ag-
gressive, keen Of. mind and tireless,
good woman reporters of the city and
the only one the Star kept upon it's
pinched payroll. Though her custom
ary assignments were sob" stories,
divorces, society events and the track
ing down Of succulent bits Of general
scandal. she nevertheless enjoyed being
upon the scene of the murder even
though she was not assigned to it..
This casual duty was for Willis, the
Stars police" man, who dragged her
along with him for momentary COM
pany.
A flood OF questions came down up
on Valois and John Cavendish, while
Miss Donovan, silent and watchful,
stood back.
Valois repeated his experience,
which was corrUborated in part by the
testimony of John Cavendishs valet
whom he had met and talked with in
the hall. There was no flaw in the
stories to which the inquisitors could
attach suspicion. One thing alone
seemed to irritate willis.
"Are you sure" he said to Caven-
dish, that the dead man is your
cousin? The face and chest are pretty
badly burned, you know, and thought
perhaps"
A laugh from the detectives silenced
him, while Cavendish ended any fleet
ing doubts with a contemptuous gaze.
"You can't fool man on his own
cousin, youngster," he said fatty,
''The idea Is absurd"
The same day. young John, eager to
be away from the scene, moved his
belongings to the Fairmount hotel, and,
since no will was found In the dead
mans papers, the entire estate came
to him as the next Of kin. A day or
two later the body was Inferred In the
family lot beside the fathers grave,
and the night of the funeral young
John Cavendish dined at an out-of-the-
way road-hOuse with q blonde with q
hard metallic voice. Her name was
Miss Celeste La Rue.
And the day following he discharged
Francois valois without apparent
cause, In q sudden burst Of temper.
SO seemingly. the curtain fell on tn
last act cf the play.

AS Francois Valois trudged along
the night streets toward his rooming
house he came face to face with a

The girl sensed some underlying
sorrow in his voice and with profes-
siOnal skill learned the cause within
a minute. Then, because she believed
that there might be more to be told,
and because she was big-hearted and
interested in every ones troubles, she
urged him to accompany her to

heart while she supped. Lonely and
disheartened, valois accepted gladly
and within half an hour they were

Here Is II new none play pulled In
the American league, players Of the
Yankees and Browns being guilty:
Aaron Ward of the Yankees was on
first, A pitched ball gra2ed the shirt
of Sam Wick ut bat and, claiming he
was hit, he started for first base.
Ward seeing him coming, trotted down
to second.
The umpire, however, refused to nj.
low Wick to take his base for being hit
by pitched ball and called him back
to bat. Whereupon Ward turned
around and slowly walked back to
first base.
Ward technically had stolen second
base and was entitled to II. But no
st. Louis player attempted to interfere
with him returning To first or made
any move to tag him of that bag.

the only one.
