Gaskins' Movements Studied.

Close attention has been paid by
the police to all of the acts of Gaskins
on Friday and Saturday. One of the
discoveries in connection with his ar
rest was the discovery in his home
of a quantity of tWine resembling in
texture and quality the twine which
was used to bind Miss Kirk hand and
foot. 1t is chalk-line. similar to that
used by mechanics and workmen in
placing guide lines over places where
work is to be done. The twine found
in Gaskins' home, however. was new
and clean. That which bound Miss
Kirk was old and soiied.
The conflicting statement to which
most attention is being paid. police
say. is that Gaskins alleged he first
heard of the murder from persons at
?2S + street, as compared with the
statement at his home that he was
told all about 1t there and failed to
comment.
Another angle which is receiving at.
tention is the attitude of a colored
reXt-door neighbor of Miss Kirk with
respect to one of the men who re.
paired a fence between Miss Kinks
house and the house of the neighbor
at S21 Il street.
One of these men was refused ad-
mittance to the home of this neigh
Dor because some eigth years ago a
robbery had been committed there.
police were told. since which time
the relations between this next-door
neighbor of Miss Kirk and the person
who worked on the fence have been
strained. While doubling that there
Is any great advantage to come from
this angle of the investigation, police
are proceeding with it, in order r.
overlook no insignificant fact that
may have bearing on the case.

Al MACKENZIE SCORES

The Washington times., 1926-09-23

The first time Mr.. mackenzie
made his deuce was in an exhibit
ton match which was part of the
field day Bannockburn was holding.
Albert and Roland were paired
against George Voigt, present local
amateur champion, and r. Cliff Nc
Kimmie, since turned professional.
The exhibition was wonder, but
the 2 on No. 1 hole was high
light Of the match.
Yesterday, the senior Mackenzie's
deuce was almost an exact duplicate
of the long-forgotten shot. His ball
was we'll down the fairway from
the tee. 1t stopped a few feet
short Of the green. 1t was so
close it called for a niblic shot. He
played this club and dropped the
ball short Of the cup, from where
it bounced gracefully in.
The deuce helped Mr.. Mac
kenzie's scoring, for he tied
George VOigt with the best score
of the first days qualifying
round, but deuces on the first hole

plays the course often enough.

Now they were married and he felt
no differently about 1t. He simply did
not love her. and there were times
when he felt she knew it. But he
must play the game. He must never
let her know. After ALL he was happy
enough with her. She was always
eager to please him.
Natalie and Fred sat side by side
and unashamedly held hands while
Dorrie poked open fun at them.
Helena and John sat on the other side
of the table and Helena was vaguely
glad of the fact that Doris sat between
them. After all. they had just re-
turned from their honeymoon and
were still supposed to he foolish.
Pressed by Natalie. John told some
more incidents of the trip and then
finally turned to Helena with laugh.
MY wife made quite conquest on
the boat
Tell us about it," said Natalie and
Doris in chorus.
There was a colonel on board who
dogged her footsteps every minute"
he went on amusedly. They took
walks on deck and he was always try
ing to get up a foursome in bridge
so he could sit and look at her"
How exciting" said emotional
Natalie. Were you jealous?"
John srinned at her.
why should I be jealous? Would
you be jealous. Fred?" he asked, still
spea king lightly.
Would I be Jealous" Fred ex-
ploded. Would II? I'll say l would"

CHAPTER VII.
COMPARISONS.

Helena had come out to her
mothers on the early train and
Natalie drove her down to meet John
at o'clock
The news had to be told all over
again and of course John was de-
lighted When they returned to the
house Fred Parsons who had been in
vited to dinner had arrived. and a
pang went through Helena as she
saw the lovers meet. When she had
first become engaged to John he had
kissed her like that. Then why were
things so different now? Why was
he always so preoCcupied? Why were
his kisses so perfunctOry?
She went into the kitchen to help
her mother with the dinner and was
promptlX banished.
"Dorrie is here. You run on out
to the porch and keep cool"
Helena returned to the porch where
John was ensconced in a wicker chair
reading the evening paper. Natalie
and Fred sat in the swing, Natalie
with her smooth cool cheek against
Fred's shoulder. They were rocking
back and forth rythmically, utterly
oblivious to either John or Helena.
and because she could not bear to in
trude. Helena was about to return TO
the kitchen, when Natalie sat up sud
denly.
Come on out; John put up your
stuffy old paper. Who wants to read
news when we can talk it. I haven't
heard a thing about your trip. Was
Havana wonderful"
John threw the paper aside and
smiled at Natalie.
Hes quite ready to talk" thought
Helena. excepting to me-
But she gave no sign of her feelings.
She was smilingly cool as she dropped
into chair. And John, eager always
to talk about the trip, told of some Of
the quaint experiences they had had.
Natalie asked eager questions, and
while she talked Helena noticed that
Fred's eyes seldom left her face. 1t
was as If he were hypnotiZed by her.
And vet Natalie was just a normally
pretty girl. She had said earlier in
the afternoon that she, Helena, had
the looks of the family. Then why
Why?
Mrs. Ford announced dinner and
they all troOped into the big cool din
ing room. Through the windows the
back garden was visible with it's mari.
gOlds and tall sunflowers.
For moment as Johns ewes
glanced out he remembered that other
evening shortly before he had married
Helena. He had made up his mind
that night to tell her the truth, to
ask her to release him, and because
of the charm of the place and the sim
pie hOmely comforts of home he
hadn't been able to do it.
