 By the way, who registered for this room?' put in Jimmy. Did you ask him that, sergeant"
 "Yes, he says the register is sign od hy II. A. Jones of New York. Of course, he wouldn't give his right name"
 "Whcn did he rcgstcr"?" Jimmy addressed the clerk and waited al most brcathlessly for his reply.
 Last night some time"
 What time?"
 "I don't know. I go off duty at seycn-thirty and the night clerk comes on. It must have been some time alter scven-thirty."
 And you don't know what this H. A. Jones looked like""
 "Why. l thought it was this man i hcrc," indicating the body. You means you never saw the oC- cupant Of this room until you opened i the door and found my father dead 2"
 i Yes, sir" Wait a minute" The police ser. goant broke in to address the clerk ! This looks like something to go on | When will the night clerk come on?'
 Any minute now" replied 'thi shabby little bald-headed man.

I'm damned" continued the ser Teant somewhat ruefully, If ] didn't take 1t for granted that tho clerk saw your father register"
 "He couldn't have registered at all," Jimmy had regained his steadi- ness, The excitement was gone from his voice, My father came home last night at quarter 10 six, as he had always done, and didn't leave the house, You find the man who registered as II. A, Jones and you'll find the murderer of my father"
 "I'm not sure of that, Mir, Rand" Y" There was q peculiar expression in tho sergcants face as he spoke, Ut still looks like suicide to me, Be- sides, if it was murder, I'm not so sure that it's man we'll have to look for"
 What do you mean?" Jimmy doubled his fists and took step toward the sergeant. His gray eyes blazed. If you're trying to mix my father up with any"
 "Im not tryin' anything, lad, But We found a woman's handkerchief on the bed and Detective Moneys got It In his pocket now. Show 1t to him, Mooney"
