Markham rose and, after shaking
hands. introduced him to Vance and
me--though. It seemed. Vance had
known him slightly for some time.
He took the chair Markham indi.
Gated. and. producing q cigar. he
carefully cut the end with q gold
clipper attached to his heavy watch.
chain. rolled the cigar between his
lips to dampen It. and lighted It In
closely cupped hands.
I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr..
Cleaver." began Markham. but. as
you probably have read. q young
woman by the name OF Margaret
Odell was murdered last night In
her apartment in list Street. !. -
He paused. He seemed to be
considering just how he could best
breach q subject so obviously deli.

would volunteer the fact Of his &C.
quaintance with the girl. But not

and. after q moment, Markham con.
tinued.
I'm making inquiries into the
young woman's life l learned that
you. among others, were fairly well
acquainted with her."
Again he paused. Cleaver lifted
his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
but said nothing.
'The fact u.s." went on Markham,
9 trif'e annoyed by the others de.
ltberately circumspect attitude,
my report states that you were
seen with her OH many occasions
during period Of nearly two years.
Indeed. the only inference to be
drawn from what I've learned Is
that you were more than casually
interested In Miss Odell."
"Yes?" The query was as non.
committal as It was gentle.

she'd known. she most likely could
have avoided being murdered"
Vance was sitting close to me, .
little removed from the others, and,
leaning over. murmured in my ear:
'Markham's up against another
lawyer-poor dear! A crump.
lin situation"
But, however inauspiciously this
introductory skirmish may have
begun 1t soon developed into q grim
combat which ended In Cleavers
complete surrender. Markham, de.
spite his spavity and graciousness,
was an unrelenting and resourceful
antagonist: and It was not long
before he had forced from Cleaver
some highly significant informa-
ton.
In response to tho mans iron.
ically evasive rejoinder, he turned
quickly and leaned forward.
"You're not on the witness.stand
in your own defense. Mr.. Cleaver,"
he said sharply. however much
you appear to regard yourself as
eligible for that position"
Cleaver glared back fixedly with.
out replying; and Markham. his
eyelids level, studied tho man op.
p0sitc, determined to decipher all
he could from tho others phleg.
matte countcnance. But Cleavcr
was apparently just rs determined
that his Uis-d-ris should decipher
absolutely nothing; and the fea.
lures that met Markham's scrutiny
werc as arid as desert. At length
Markham sank back in his chair.
ut doesn't matter particularly"
he remarked indifferently. whether
you discuss tho matter or not here
in the club tonight. II you prefer
to be brought to my Office in the
morning by q sheriff with q sub.
poena. I'll be only too glad to &C.
commodato YOU"
that's up to you." Cleaver told
him, hostilely.
"And what's printed in the news.
papers about it will be up to the
reporters" rejoined Markham. 'Ill
explain the situation to them and
give them q verbatim report of the
interview"
"But I've nothing to tell YOU"
The others tone was suddenly con.
ciliatory; the idea Of publicity was
evidently highly distasteful to him.
$50 you informed me BEFORE"
said Markham coldly. Therefore,
] wish you good evening""
He turned to Vance and me with
the air of man who had termi.
mated an unpleasant episode.
Cleaver. however, made no move
to 60. He smoked thoughtfully for
q minute or two; then he gave a
short. hard laugh which did not
even disturb the contours OF his
face.
ooh, hell!" no grumbled. with
forced good.nature. LAS you said.
I'm not on the witness-stand.
What do you want to know?"
"I've told you the situation"
Markham's voice betrayed curious
irritation. "You know the sort of
thing I want. How did this Odell
girl live? Who were her intimates?
Who would have been likely to
want her out Of the way? What
enemies had she?-Anything that
might lead us to an explanation
OF her death. And. Incl.
dcntally." he added with tartness.
anything thatll eliminate yourself
from any suspected participation.
direct or indirect, in the affair.""
Cleaver stiffened at these last
words, and started to protest in.
dignantly. But Immediately he
changed his tactics. Smiling con.
temptuously. he took out a leather
pocket-case and. extracting a small
folded paper. handed it to Mark.

(Twesd0y. September IL; 8 p. n,.)
Markham dined at the Stuyvesant
Club, - was his custom. and at his
invitation Vance and I remained
with him. He no doubt figured that
our presence at the dinner.table
would act az q bulwark against the
Intrusion Of casual acquaintanccs:
for he was in no mood for the
pleasantries Of the curious.
Rain had begun to fall late In
the afternoon. and when dinner
was over it had turned into q steady
downpour which threatened to last
we'll into the night. Dinner over,
the three Of us sought a secluded
