in bed.
1.-THE Major told him to put the

to the table in the corner. The
Major then called to him to learn
the time by the clock on the man.

past twelve.
1.-THE Major replied that he was
not to be disturbed again, said
goodnight, turned off this light on
this night-table, jumped out Of bed
he was dressed, of course-and
stepped quickly out into the public
hall before the boy had time ia
emptv the ice and return to the
passage.
"The Major ran down the stairs
and was in the street before the
elevator descended. The boy, when
he passed the bedroom door on his
way out, could not have seen
whether the Majoz was still in bed
or not, wen if y, had looked in,
for the room was then in darkness.
Clever, what?"
1.-THE thing would have been pos
sible, Of course" conceded Mark
ham. But your specious imagin-
ings fail to account for his return. .
"That was the simplest part Of
the scheme. He prob'bly waited in
q doorway across the street for
some other tenant to go in. The
boy ssid Mr.. Montagu returned
about 2:3O. Then the Major slipped
in when he knew the elevator had
ascepded, and walked up the
stairs" .
Markham, smiling patiently. said
nothing.

Vance, "the p..ins taken by the Ma

Markham. was vehement In his
remonstradces. but Vance was
equally vehement in his insistence;
and 2 few minutes later we were
trepassing, by means Of q pass-key,
in Majo4 Benson's apartment.
The .only entrance was 2 door
leading from the public hall into q
narrow passageway which extend
ed straight ahead into the living
room at the rear. On the right Of
this passageway, near the entrance,
was q door opening into the bed

Vance walked directly back into
the living-room. On the right-hand
wall was . fireplace and . mantel
on which sat an old-fashioned ma
hogany clock.
Near the uantel. in the far cor

"Our only problem, then, is to dis
cover he customary abiding place
Of the Majors gun. It's not
here in the chiffonier," h. added,
closing the last drawer.
He opened q kit-bag standing ut
the foot Of the bed, and rifled its
contents.
"Nor here" he murmured indif-
ferently. "The clothes-closet is the
only otter likely place."
Going across the room, he opened
the closet door. Unhurriedly he
switched on the light. There, on
the upper, shelf, in plain view, lay
IN army belt with a 'bulging hol-
ster.
Vance lifted it with extreme
delicacy and placed it on the bed
near w." window.

sentatives in the demand for a special

Obtain Signatures.
They declared they had obtained
signatures of a majority of the lower
house and that an investigation would
be asked of three departments, includ-
in the State Highway Department.
Kight said that an inquiry into Mrs.
Hammond's activities was the prin-
cipal aim of the legislators as far as
the governors Office was concerned.
While not mentioning the name of
Mrs. Hammonds, the petition states
that the governors confidential secre-
tary often refused legislators confer

HUNDREDS To OPEN
SEASON FOR DUCKS
Autos viii Carry D. C. Hunt
ers to Chesapeake Bay
and Tributaries.

Tomorrow at dawn there will be
hundreds of local duck hunters in
evidence on the Chesapeake Bay and
tributaries, more especially on the
Potomac River. Many will leave here
in automobiles this afternoon or dur
ing the early morning hours, while
the others probably will go by train
to more distant points.
1t is feared by the hunters that
the continued warm weather will in
terfere with the sport. the ducks not
usually coming close in unless the
weather is cold or blustery. Last year
the ducks were plentiful, and it is
thought they will be plentiful this
year, according to local sportsman,
but not until the weather gets colder.
Enforcement To Be Strict.
Announcement has been made that
Maryland game wardens will enforce
the law strictly this season. 1t has
been suggested that many blinds have
been constructed and placed in vio-
lation of the Maryland law, many of
them just beyond the headland lines
at the mouths of creeks in Virginia.
Licenses are required of hunters
who do their shooting at all places
not upon Federal territory, and the
laws of both Maryland and Virginia
provide bag limits.
The section of the Maryland law
relating to boats, blinds and pushers
provides:
