Agatha had had q companion for
two years, in fact, up until three
months ago when Mrs. Pennington
left to live in the home Penning-
ton had left her in Massachusetts,
Park. Funny thing that, her mar
rying Pennington after a two
weeks illness and his dying a week
later leaving her all his property
and disinheriting his own son and
daughter. The court had upheld
her claims, however, and the boy
and girl had practically disap-
peared. No one knew where either
one OF them could be. Mrs. Pen
nington had offered them a home
with her, but bitter and unrecon-
ciled they had refused. Lucy
Pennington had been Agatha's
friend ever since their childhood
days, and Jim Pennington, two
years older than his sister had
been a pal Of Truman Marsh.
Kenyon walked back into the
front room. Squatting beside
the figure, he did what he had
not done because of Agatha's
entrance. He searched the pockets
or the brown suit. The wallet
with its cards and money was
intact. There was $50 in bills
and the trouser pockets contained
some loose change. Robbery,
then, had not been the motive,
and the Cat was a robber. Per-
haps that is where the Cat was
clever. He felt sure that Trent
had been dead for several hours.

give an approximate time.
He was turning to the other
pockets to look at the papers,
when there was a commotion at
the door. and in trooped police
men. the coroner and physician.

ing the body. "Shot through the

Tilden to Break Vaudeville
Engagement to Write Tennis

BY the Associated Press.
~ OSTON. August 25.-Though bar
l. red from American tennis,
William r Tilden I'd, today
IL said he would break vaudeville
engagement to attend the ma
tional doubles tournament which opens
Monday at the Longwood Cricket Club
in Brookline.
Big Bill" however will be on the
side lines reporting the play for a
sports syndicate. His articles, he said,
will be far different from his Wimble-
don stories, which caused the executive
committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association TO declare him
guilty of violating its amateur player
writer rule.
Tilden'S decision to give up a weeks
vaudeville engagement i'll New Rochelle
N. Y. came after he made forceful
reply to the executive committees flnd-
ing of guilt. In it he made a scathing
arraignment of certain predecessors"
of the present United States Lawn
Tennis Association officials by claiming
that they had exploited him with an
eye on the gate"
Tilden said he bitterly resented the
imputation that he has acted in bad
ld1ln ana Claimed tIlat the executive
committeeman "are calling me a liar"
when they refuse TO accept his state
ment that he did not Intentionally
violate or evade the letter or spirit of
the player writer rule when he wrote
his Wimbledon articles.
After denying that he was eager TO
play on the Davis Cup team this year or
that he had any dispute with tennis
association officials over his expenses,
Tflden said in his reply:
II resent the attempt to prove that
my influence in tennis is bad for the
game and resent the nasty insinuations
contained in the executive committee
statement that the whole course of Mr..
Tilden's activities compels the adoption
Of drastic measures
81 am willing to stack my service to
American tennis against that of any
individual official on the committee
which barred me and let the public
choose which has been and is of more
value TO the game.
Il am far more amateur in spirit
than some of the men who have run
tennis for years with one eye to the
gate and have exploited me for its adj
vancement. In this statement am not
referring to President Collum or Joseph
w. Wear, chairman Of the Davis Cup
