A DEFECTIVE STORY
By CAROLYN W

Plate and cup in hand, he moved around among his guests, little awkwardly but full of amiability and good cheer. His sentiment was quite evidently, "the king is dead; long live the king" and he wanted to get settled on his throne at once.
 But the cousin of John Waring had another side to him.
 This was shown when, later on, he met few people in the study.
 Cray was there, by invitation, and Morton, also Lockwood and the two Peytonse
 Just a few words at the outset" Trask began, and he was noticeably more at ease in this executive ses- sion than he had been in the social atmosphere.
 T want to maintain this household, Tor time at least, as 1 find it. 1 shall be glad, Mrs. Peyton, if you wlil continue to keep house for me, and l should like you, MT. Lockwood, to remain as secretary, if you are will ing. There is, of course, much to be done in settling the setate, and your knowledge would ge invaluable. Also, If you will, Mrs. Peyton, I'd like you to engage servants-or keep the ones you have. In fact, please look after the house matters entire ly. For here is what I want to do first. Find the man who killed my cousin. never shall feel right in taking and using his home and his money unless l do everything in my power to discover his murderer"
 Tt may be 8 case of suicide" sug- gested Attorney Cray, who was nar- rowly watching the spaker.
 No-sir-ee! First place, as near as can figure 1t out, my cousin was not the man to take his own life Also he was on the eye of taking a fine position as college president-al- so he was about to marry a beautiful lady. Why worry And too-and this is to me the strongest argument against the suicide theory--I've read lots of detective stories-you needn't sniff, MT. Cray, those stories are oft en founded on fact-and many of them hinge on the mystery of 3 sealed room. Often a book starts out with situation just like this; man found dead. Room locked up. No weapon about. Murder or suicide! And, listen here; invariably the solu- tion is murder. Yes, sir---invariablyl Why? Cause suicide is a mighty scarce article. You don't find Hu- man NSlture putting an end to itself Very CNten. That is not worthwhile Humah Nature. Your suicides are weak men, down and outers, ignor- ant, halfbaked chaps. Not fine, up. standing men such as John Waring You know that, MT. Cray?"
 Yes" the attorney nodded That's certainly so. Mir. Trask. And, any way, if you're going to make inves-

P|CKENS DEFENDS k|LBY IN REPLY
 T0 LONG ATTACK
Predicts Former Governor Will Be Elected Again
 By Reclamation
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Mont R0mery Ala Sent l9

Representative Pickens of Sumter, | speaking to a point of personal priv ilege in the house of representatives, tonight replied to an attack made upon Former Governor Thomas E. Kilby by Representative J. Lee Long of Butler.
 Governor Kilby is my friend" Representative Pickens stated. He has always been loyal to his friends. No man can truthfully say that he violated his oath, or that his words has not been his bond.
 AS for his prohibition record, think that 1t compares favorably with Ithat of the present incumbent. have noticed that both use spearmint on certain occasions. Governor Kilby at least shows no i'll effect. I be- lieve that there is nothing which can prevent him from being elected governor three years from now by exclamation"
 A few months after taking his seat Representative Pickens in con- versation on the floor of the house declared if the present administra- tion had shown half the backbone Gov ernor Kilby had, something worth while would have been accomplished.
 Representatives Pickens stated that he was not on the floor when MT. Long had made his criticism of Governor Kilby, which fact was re- sponsible for his reply not having been made sooner.

tigations, you have to start on the theory of murder"
 Just that exactly" Trask agreed. Then If we run up against proof actual proof of suicide, why then, we know where we're at"
 Lockwood looked at Trask and lis tened to him with interest. He was new type to the secretary, who with all his knowledge of characterIza- tion couldn't quite place him.
 At first, Lockwood had felt an in- stinctive dislike, the newcomer had been so patently pleased with his in- heritance, and so evidently insincere in his mourning. But this sensible, straightforward insistence on aveng- ing his cousins murder-if 1t were murder-raised Trask in Loskwood's S main as secretary, for a time, at least.
 You have the case in charge, MT. Cray" Trask went on, "and l want you to push it-push it, sir. Get help if you want-get some hifalutin detective, if that's the proper caper but, get results. Results, that's what I'm after! Here's my idea. Get busy, and do all you can as quick as you can. Don't dawdle. Put things through. And then--if you can't find the criminal, after due effort, then, we'll give up the hunt. That's my idea. Do all you can and then quit"
 "Very well, MT. Trask," Cray re- piled. T understand, and I'll do as you say. When you have the time to devote to it, I'll give you a history of the case"
 "The time Is now, Mir. Cray. And your history must be put in a nut shell. The circumstances of John 1 Warnings death, I know. Also, 1 know whom I suspect as the mur- derer. So tell me your decisions to l date"
 T fear we have made no decision, MT. Trask. As matter of fact the evidence to date points in most painful direction"
 What! You're deterred from jus tice because evidence points in a painful directioni My stars, Cray, is that the way you detect in New Eng land!'
 But evidence may be false, and it is unwise to accuse without certainty
 "I have some certain evidence" said Helen Peyton, and all turned to look at the girl, who spoke hesitat- ingly and in a low tone.
 "Yes, I wouldn't tell it-but-1 think I ought to. l just found it out today"
 "Of course you must tell it, Miss "Out with it!'
 Well" Helen spoke to Cray, you know Mir. Losckwood rubbed off some marks from this chair the morning 1 after-after we found Dr. Waring."
 "Yes, they were without doubt in- dicative marks. What do you know about them?" Cray looked at her earnestly, for he had great interest in that act of the secretary's.
 "They were the marks made by the buttons on the back of the dress Miss 1 Austin wore today" (TO be cOntinued)

SoIon Says That Ex-Governor Made "An Undue Fling"
 At Legislature
STATE CAPITAL RD DREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD MOrk~Ou,ary Ala Gant IQ |


 Representative J. Lee Long of But Ter, speaking to a point of personal privilege in the house of representa- lives today, attacked the adplinistra- tion of Gov. Thomas E. Kilby, and de- clared that the statement of the for mer governor relative to tax dodgers getting a promised joy ride consti- tuted "an undue fling" at the legis- lature through the present governor of the state.
 Mir. Long referred to the increase in revenues during the administration of Governor Kilby, and expressed the belief that the revenues for the pres ent year will be greater by about million dollars than in 1922. What caused it?" Mir. Long asked, referring to the increase in revenue. Tt was not caused by laws passed by the legislature, because they have just gone into effect, and have not had a chance to function. Wait until they do get a chance to function, and promise you that there will be more faces seen on this floor of the present r1embership, if you desire to come back, than of any legislature that ever sat in these halls for many, many years"
 MT. Long declared that the state ment that Governor Kilby raised money without increasing the tax rate Is camouflage. He declared that "exorbitant raises" were proposed by Governor Kilby and enacted by the lecisiature of 1919. and that Gov ernor Kilby inaugurated the system of office holding with two salaries paid the same official.
 Representative Long stated that both candidates to succeed Governor Kiiby had listened to the voice of the people and adopted the platform enunciated by men who had been labeled by Governor Kilby as tax dodgers" and small bore politicians.
