intention under the Sweet law. This
law provides for the transfer OF all
veteran activities, including hospi-

work, which has been done.
Transfer Delay Explained.
The public health service Is desir-
GUS of keeping under it's control all of
the personnel. 1t was learned from an
authoritative source today. and this
explains the delay in the transfer OF
the veteran activities. Omcials OF
hcth the health service and the Vet

the problem for some time. but have
as yet reached no agreement for the
transfer of the work. The taking

leave 1t at about the same strength 1t

The whole matter is expected to
come to head late today, when Di-

health service for q transfer Of the

Really. if the word had not been
so much abused l should call you an
opportunist, my dear McCarty, have
to investigate the affair in her be-
half and presume that we can count
on your co-operation? If you were
here when the crime was first dis

enough to give me the details: have

McCarty complied willingly enough
but with certain reservations.
He led Wade Terhune first to the
study and described the finding Of the
body and the episode of the burglar.
but made no mention of the blood
stained playing card, nor OF the re-
suit of his second search of the
rooms upstairs. 1t would be time to

self aboard he glanced back at the house
which he had just left. The lower win
dows were shrouded and blank, but at
one Of the upper ones he caught
glimpse Of a woman's white face staring
down at him. AS she caught his eye she
withdrew hastily and the curtains were
drawn together.
Who could she have been? He had
left Mrs. Creveling still seated in the
throne chair in the hall and he was
certain that the face he had seen was
a rounder. more youthful one than the
thin, acidulous contenance Of the cook.
Had some woman remained concealed
In that house despite the rigorous
search of the men from borough head
quarters?
He felt an IMPULSE to descend from
tie bus and return to investigate, but
a second thought restained him: Mr..
Douglas Waverly had named a half
hour later for their interview and he
had stated with evident reluctance that
he was at the Belterre Hotel. McCarty
had theory of his own as to that and

"This isn't Rollins talking! Is he
there or Frank? My wife just telephoned
to me that some sort of an accident
had happened to Mr.. Creveling. and I
want to know If there is anything that
I can do. Please convey that message
to Mrs. Creveling."
Every good, sir" Mccarthy waited.
for a brief space and then spoke into
the moLthpiece once more. Mrs.
Creveling is sending me down in per-
son with a message. sir. 1t is most
important and she dosent want any
one here just now. Where can I find
you?"
"At the Belterre Hotel" The reply
came after a moment Of evident hesi-
,tation. "Ill expect you in about half
an hour. Who the devil are you, anr-
way? What happened to Mr.. Gre reyel:ns?"

marked carelessly. "See you later,
chief"
As he turned to go the telephone in
the study shrilled in subdued insistence
and Rollins appeared in the door Of
the breakfast room. but at sign from
the inspector Mccarty was before him:
Crossing the study. he lifted the
bronze ornament from the telephone and
held the receiver to his ear.
Hello! Can l speak to Mrs. Crew
cling, please?" It was mans voice
cultured in it's intonations and yet with
a note of inherent Rrossness.
"Who is 1t. siT:" Mccarty asked
cautiously.

McCarty pondered for moment and
then spoke with his voice carefully
modulated.
Mrs Creveling is indisposed. Can

he must reach his destination as quicldy
as possible in order to put 1t to the

On alighting from the bus he entered
the lobby of the hotel, but instead of
approaching the desk to announce him.

chased paper and dropped into a chair

Of the huge hostelry. The lobby was
