Sunday, Sept. is; 10 a. m.)
A fine drizzle was falling the next
morning when we rose; and a chill
the first forerunner of winter
was in the air.
We had breakfast in the library
at half past eight, and at o'clock
Vance'S car-which had been or
dered the night before-called for
us.
We rode down Fifth Ave, now
almost deserted in it's thick blanket
of yellow fog, and called for Mark
ham at his apartment in w. Twelfth
st.
He was waiting for us in front of
the house, and stepped quickly into
the car with scarcely a word of
greeting.
From his anxious, preoccupied
look knew that he was depending
a good deal on what Skeel had
to tell him.
We had turned into w. Broadway
beneath the elevated tracks before
any Of us spoke. Then Markham
voiced a doubt which was plainly
an articulation of his troubled ru-
limitations.
"I'm wondering If, after all, this
fellow Skeel can have any impor-
tant information to give us. His
phone call was very strange. Yet
he spoke confidently enough regard
ing his knowledge.

the Odell girl, and had decided to
come clean"
"It's certain he himself didn't

Vance. my theory, as you know.

being enacted; and all along I've

fact-they worried him abominably."
The point was too complex for
Heath. The previous days devel-
opments had shaken the founda-
ton of all his arguments; and he
lapsed again into brooding silence.
At 10 o'clock he rose impatient
ly and, going to the hall door,
looked out.
Returning, he compared his watch
with the Office clock and began pac-
ing restleSsly.
Markham was attempting to sort
some papers on his desk, but pres
emily he pushed them aside with
an impatient gesture.
HE ought to be coming along
now" he remarked, with an effort
at cheerfulnesS.
Hell come" growled Heath, cor
he'll get free ride" And he con-
tinued his pacing.

After a short delay, the connec-

hung up the receiver and gave
Heath a baf1ed look.
1.-THE club takes two HeraldS. Both
of yesterdays copies are there, on
the rack"
Didn't Cleaver once tell us he
read nothing but the Herald-that

Vance put the question off-hand-
edly.

Sidered the suggestion. still, both

He turned to Heath.

Mannix, did you find out what

Sure" The sergeant took out
his notebook and riff1ed the pages

Markham pushed the telephone
toward him.
"See what you can find out"
Heath was fifteen minutes at the
task.
"a blank" he announced finally.
f'The Furriers don't use holders,
and the CoSmopolis don't keep any

What about Mr.. Skeel'S clubs,
Sergeant?" asked Vance, smiling.
"Oh, I know the finding of that
jewelry gums up my theory about
Skeel," said Heath, with surly ILL
nature.
But what's the good of rubbing
it in? Still, if you think I'm going
to give the bird clean bill Of health
just because the Odell swag was
found in a trash can, you're mighty
mistaken.

were. But I'm convinced, never
theless, that the modish Tony
knows who killed his bona roba
and looted her apartment"
But of the three persons who
possibly could have got into the
Odell apartment that night-name-
ly Mannix, Cleaver, and Lindquist
-Skeel evidently knows only one
-Mannix."
"Yes-to be sure. And Mannix, it
would seem, is the only one of the
trio who knows Skeel. An inter
estin' point"
Heath met us at the Franklin st.
entrance to the Criminal Courts
Building.
He, too, was anxious and subdued,
and he shook hands with us in a
detached manner devoid of his usual
heartineSs.
1--WE got Snitkin running the ele-
vator," he said, after the briefest
Of salutations.
"Burke's in the hall upstairs, and
Emery is with him, waiting to be
let into Swacker's Office"
We entered the deserted and al
most silent building and rode up to
the fourth floor. Markham unlocked
his Office door and we passed in.
"Guilfoyle, the man who's failing
Skeel," Heath explained, when we
were seated, "is to report by phone
to the homicide bureau as soon as
the Dude leaves his rooms"
1T was now twenty minutes to 10
Five minutes later Swacker arrived
Taking his stenographic notebook,
he stationed himself just inside OF
the swinging door of Markhams

hear all that was said without be-

Markham lit cigar and Heath
followed suit.
Vance already was smoking
placidly. He was the calmest per-
son in the room, and lay back Ian
guorously in one of the great leather
chairs as though immune to all

got leery, and tipped off some pa

Il rather fancy the experienced
Skeel would have turned his bod!
over to professional receiver. But
even had he passed it on to a
friend, would this friend have been
likely to throw it away because
Skeel was worried2"
Maybe not. But there's some
explanation for those jewels being
found, and when we get hold of it,
it won't eliminate Skeel"
''No; the explanation won't elm
mate Skeel," said Vance; "but-rny
wordl-how it'll change his stand
ing"
Heath contemplated him with
shrewdly appraising eyes. Some
thing in Vance's tone had apparent
ly piqued his curiosity and set him
to wondering.
Vance had too often been right
in his diagnosis Of persons and
things for the sergeant to ignore his
opinions wholly.
But before he could answer,
Swacker stepped alertly into the
room, his eyes animated.
"Tony Skeel's on the wire, Chief,
and wants to speak to you"
Markham, despite his habitual re-
serve, gave a start.
Here. Sergeant" he said quickly
take that extension phone on the
table and listen in"
He nodded CURLY to Swacker, who
disappeared to make the connection.
Then he took up the receiver of
his own telephone and spoke to
Skeel.
For minute or so he listened.
Then, after a brief argument, he
concurred with some suggestion that
had evidently been made; and the
conversation ended.
"Skeel Graves an audience, I
gather" said Vance. 1--WE rather

eyes. He's coming here tomorrow
at TO-"
"And he limited that he knew who
slew the Canary-eh, what?"
That's just what he did say.
He promised to tell me the whole
story tomorrow morning"
Hes the lad in position to do
it" murmured Vance.
"But, Mr.. Markham" said Heath,
who still sat with his hand on the
telephone, gazing at the instrument
with dazed incredulity, II don't see
why you don't have him brought
here today"
GAS you heard, Sergeant, Skeel in
sisted on tomorrow, and threatened
to say nothing if I forced the issue.
It's just as well not to antagonize
him.
ave might spoil a good chance of
getting some light on this case if
ordered him brought here and used
pressure. And tomorrow suits me.
It'll be quiet around here then.
Moreover, your mans watching
Skeel, and he won't get away"
IT guess you're right, sir. The
Dudes touchy, and he can give a
swell imitation Of an oyster when
he feels like it," The sergeant
spoke with feeling.
"Ill have Swacker here tomor-
row to take down his statement"
Markham went on; land you'd bet
ter put one of your men on the
elevator,-the regular operator is off
Sundays. Also, plant a man in the
hall outside, and put another one
in Swacker's office"
Vance stretched himself luxurious
ly and rose.

man to call up at this time, don't
y know. I had a longing to see

By F. A. WALKER
THE STUDY OF SELF

INSTEAD of going afield, wasting
precious time and energy in re-
counting the short -comings of others.
suppose you sit down in your fayorite
CHAIR some evening for at least half
an hour and soberly catechise your
self.
without some such attention to your
own flailties, accompanied with a real
desire to overcome them, there will
be but small likelihood indeed. of
your rising above those you frequently
cenSure.
Go at the distasteful task with an
open mind, resolved to dig to the un.

DO not despair at what you find.
for your fnfirmities are similar in al
most every particular to those of your
acquaintance upon whom you have
gazed with an Argus eye for months
and years.
| There Is within you the same lack

clay, the same disposition to err, the
same inclination in hasty outbursts Of
passion to soil your lips and soul with
ugly words and deeds.
Those human beings who lack the
moral courage to study self, must dur-
ing their lives become reconciled to sit
IN dusty seats in the back row.

better, without being disappointed. A

pets. Strange as it may seem,
there are actually a few young
men in this fast age who have
old-fashioned ideas of what is
decent. When men settle down
they prefer the old-fashioned
girl who can use broom and
make home to the one who
is an expert with the lip stick
or cocktail shaker. Turn over
a new leaf and perhaps you
can regain his lost regard.
Dear Miss Vera:
What would you do in a
case like this, l am in love with
a girl one year younger than
myself. She told a friend of
mine that she was going to
step out with other boys, have
a good time, and that when
she got ready to- settle down
that she was going to come
back to me.
Blue Boy.
Dear Blue Boy:
A girl of that kind is not
the sort of girl to waste your
time one. Look around bit;
travel and see the world and
you will soon forget her. In
time you will meet the right
girl and be happy.

Superstition Traced

The superstition that it is unlucky
