This report was the only definite

crime.
BY curious coincidence neither
Mannix, nor Cleaver, nor Spots
woode could furnish a satisfactory
alibi.
All three of them, according to
their statements, had remained at
home the night before.
The weather had been Indictment;
and though Mannix and SpotSwoode
admitted to having been out earlier
in the evening, they stated that they
had returned home before ten
o'clock.
Mannix lived in an apartment
hotel, and, as it was Saturday night,
the lobby was crowded, so that no
one would have been likely to see
him come in.
Cleaver lived in a small private

Spotswoode was staying at the
Stuyvesant. Club, and since his
rooms were on the third floor, he
rarely used the elevator
Moreover, there had been a polit-
ical reception and dance at the club
the previous night, and he might
have walked in and out at random a
dozen times without being noticed.

eliminates him as an object of sus-
picion in the Canary'S death also;
for these two crimes are part of q
whole-integers of the same prob
lem. They complement each other.
The latter was conceived in relation
to the f1rst-was, in fact, a logical
outgrowth of it."

Markham nodded.

Markham nodded.
"That's reasonable enough. Any
way, I've passed the combative stage.
I think I'll drift for a while on the
stream of your theory and see what
happens"
what irkS me is the disquietin'
feeling that positively nothing will
happen unless we force the issue.
The lad who unanswered those two
obits had real bean in him."
AS he spoke Spotswoode entered
the room and looked about as If
searching for some one.
Catching sight of Markham, lie
came briskly forward, with a look CT
inquisitive perplexity.
Forgive me for intruding, sir, -
ne apologized, nodding pleasantly
to Vance and me, but a police Off
Ger was here this afternoon inquir-
ing as to my whereabouts last night.
ut struck me as strange, but ]
thought little of it until happened
to see the name Tony Skeel in the
headlines of a special tonight and
read he had been strangled.
II remember you asked me re-
garding such a. man in connection
with Miss Odell, and I wondered if,
by any chance, there could be any
connection between the two muir
ders, and if I was, after all, to be
drawn into the affair"
mo, I think not" said Markham.
There seemed a possibility that the
two crimes were related; and, as a
matter of routine, the police ques
toned all the close friends of Miss
Odell in the hope of turning up
something suggestive.

"Your theory-yes. It's about all
that's left to go on" Markham
sighed.

Again Vance contradicted him.

you see, assumed that the
ladys stranger knew Of Skeels offer
to you. That offer was probably q
threat of some kind on Skeel's part;
otherwise he wouldn't have set the
appointment day ahead
HE no doubt hoped the victim OF
his threat would become amenable
in the meantime.
And that money hidden in the
curtain-rod leads me to think he
was Matchmaking the Canary'S muir

"You may be right. But nov

Sunday, p. m, Monday, a. M;
September 16-1D
THE investigation into Skeel's
l. death was pushed with great
vigor by the authorities.
Doctor Doremus, the medical ex-
snainer, arrived promptly and de-
clared that the crime had taken
place between ten o'clock and mid
night.
Immediately Vance insisted that
all the men who were known to
have been intimately acquainted
with the Odell girl-Mannix, Lind
quist, Cleaver and Spotswoode-be
interviewed at once and made to
explain where they we're during
these two hours.
Markham agreed without hesita-
ton and gave the order to Heath,
who at once put four of his men
on the task.
Mallory, the detective who had
Swallowed Skeel the previous night,
was questioned regarding possible
visitors; but inasmuch as the house
where Skeel lived accommodated
over twenty roomerS, who were
constantly coming and going at all
hours, no information could be
gained through that channel.
All that Mallory could say def
ritely was that Skeel had returned
home at about ten o'clock, and had
not come out again.
The landlady, sobered and sub
dued by the tragedy, repudiated all
knowledge of the affair.
She explained that she had been
clip in her room from dinner-time
until we had disturbed her recupera-
ton the next morning.
The front door, it seemed, was
never locked, since her tenants OBJ
iected to such an unnecessary in
convenience.
The tenants themselves were
questioned, but without result; they
were not of a class likely to give
information to the police, even had
they possessed any.
The finger print experts made a
careful examination Of the room, ouS
failed to find any marks except
Skeel'S own.
A thorough search through the
murdered mans effects occupied
several hours. but nothing was dis
covered that gave any hint of the
murderers Identity.
A 38 Colt automatic, fully loaded,
was found under one of the pillows
on the bed; and eleven hundred dol
lars, in bills of large denomination,
was taken from hollow brass cur
tain-rod.
Also, under a loose board in the
hall, the missing steel chisel, with
the f1ssure in the blade, was found.
But these items were of no value
in solving the mystery Of SkeePS
death; and at o'clock in the after
noon the room was closed with an
emergency paddock and put under
guard.
Markham and Vance and had
remained several hours after our
discovery of the body.
Markham had taken immediate
charge of the case, and had con-
Quoted the interrogation OF Cne
tenants.
Vance had watched the routine
activities of the police with I'M
wonted intentnesS, and had even
taken part in the search.
He had seemed particularly inter-
ested in Skeels evening clothes, and
had examined them garment by gar
ment.
Heath had looked at him from
time to time, but there had been
neither contempt nor amusement i'll
the sergeant's glances.
At half past two Markham de-
parted, after informing Heath that
he would be at the Stuyvesant Club
during the remainder of the day;
and Vance and I went with him.
We had belated luncheon in the
empty grill.

A cloud of angry disgust passed
over Spotswoode's face.
"a creature like that deserves the
fate that overlook him."
We chatted on various matters
until ten o'clock, when Vance rose
and gave Markham a reproachful
look.

lost sleep. I'm temperamentally I'M

him guilty. 1t is proved later that three
other possible suspects had been lying
about their whereabouts the night of the
murder. The truth comes out that Man
nix had been calling on a young lady in
the apartment adjoining the "Canary's;"
that Cleaver had bean in the building
around midnight, and that DIR. Lindquist,
knowing SpOtswOode was calling on Mar
garet Odell, had planned in a Jealous
ft to kill him when he came out. But
this plan was frustrated when Spots
woOde jumped into cab. Skeel tele-
phones that he will come to the district
attorneys office and tell who committed
the murder. They wait for him. He
does not appear, and when they go to
his room they find him dead-strangIed,
just as Margaret OdeII had been.

over TO lawlesSneSS, the suit alleges.
Pleasure houses snd saloons are being
conducted in violation of the command
ments of God and the laws et the
