THE STORY THUS FAR,

Skeel's finger prints had bean found
HARRIET hs PoGs hut Of v ths SssTsa
Skeel had been hiding in a closet while
the stranger did his work. Mannix,
Dr.. LindqUiSt and Cleaver all lie about
their whereabouts the night of the muir
der: SpotswoOde, who had called on the
girl, had rushed to her door at the
sound of a scream but had been re-
assured through the door that nothing
was wrong. Later Skeel is found
Strangled, after promising to reveal the
murderer. Vance has Markham invite
apar tment for a game of poker, prOmis-
ing to name the murderer the next day.
After the games end Vance is unusually
sober.

| ct rather fancied my luck was
most extr' ordin'ry."
"You held four of kind twice,
and lost both hands"
But, y see," blandly confessed
Vance, 81 happened to know both
times exactly what cards my op-
ponents held"
Markham stared at him in amaze
ment.
"Quite So" Vance assured him.
IT had arranged before the game,
d. you see, to have those particular
hands dealt" He smiled benignly.
81 can't tell you, old chap, how I
admire your delicacy in not refer
ring to my rather unique guest, Mr..
Allen, whom I had the bad taste
to introduce SO uncermoniously
into your party. I owe you an ex-
PLANTATION and an apology.
"NIr. Allen is not what one would
call a charming companion. He
is deficient in the patrician ele-
gancies, and his display of jewelry
was bit vulgar-though infinite
ly preferred his diamond studs to
his piebald tie.
"But Mr.. Allen has his points
decidedly he has his points. He
ranks with Andy Blakely, Garfield,
and Honest John Kelly as an indoor
soldier of fortune. In fact, our Mr..
Allen is none other than Doc Wiley
Allen of fragrant memory"
doc Allen! Not the notorious old
crook who ran the Eldorado Club?"
1.-THE same. And, incidentally,
one Of the cleverest card manipu-
Iators in once lucrative but shady
profession"
"You mean this fellow Allen
stacked the cards last night?"
Markham was indignant.
"Only for the two hands you
mentioned. Allen, if you happen to
remember, was the dealer both
times.
81, who purpoSely sat on his right,
was careful to cut the cards in &C
cordance with his instructions. And
you must admit that no structure
can possibly attach to my decep-
ton, inasmuch as the only bene-
f1ciaries Of Allen manipulations were
Cleaver and Spotswoode.
although Allen did deal me four
Of a kind on each occasion, lost
heavily both times"
Markham regarded Vance for a
moment in puzzled silence, and
then laughed good naturally.
'You appear to have been in a
philanthropic mood last night. You
practically gave Mannix thousand
dollars by permitting him to dou-
BILE the stakes on each draw. A
rather quixotic procedure, I should
say"
1T all depends on ones point Of
view, don't y know. Despite my
financial losses-which, by the bye,
have every intention of charging
up to your Office budget-the game
was most successful. Y see,

nings entertainment"
ooh, I remember!" said Mark
ham vaguely, as if the matter, be-
ing of slight Importance, had for
the moment eluded his memory. 81
believe you were going to ascertain
who murdered the Odell girl"
"Amazin' memory! Yes, ]
let fall the hint that I might be
able to clarity the situation today"
"And whom am to arrest?"
Vance took a drink Of coffee and
slowly lit a clgaret.
I'm quite convinced, y know,
that you won't believe me-" he re-
turned, in an even, matter of-fact
voice. "But it was Spotswoode who
killed the girl"

became almost impossible. I was
weak and tired all the time, rolled
and tossed all night, and got up
more tired than when I went to

Viuna. Already my rheumatism is
gone and the dizzy spells have
entirely ceased. The gas trouble is

TUESDAY, September 1; p. n.y.
VANCE slept late the following
' morning and spent the hour or
SO before lunch checking a cata-
logue of ceramics which were to
be auctioned next day at the Ander-
son Galleries.
At 1 o'clock we entered the
Stuyvesant Club and joined Mark
ham in the grill.
"Tne lunch is on you, old thing"
said Vance. "But I'll make it easy.
All want is a rasher of English
bacon, a cup Of coffee, and a crois-

Markham gave him hooking
smile.

night"
Vance's eyebrows went up.

BANDITS FORCE HOOSIER
TO SERVE AS CHAUFFEUR
Washington Filling Station Attend
ant Unframed During Ride

dlS OAAAdA AAAuC
By United Press
WASHINGTON. Ind, March r.
William Allen, filling station attend
ant, was the victim of a queer hold
up staged by two well dressed BAN
dts who compelled him to drive
them around town in his automobile
The bandits escaped without OBJ
tanning any money.
Allen had closed up the station
for the night when approached by
the two men. Each had revolvers
and compelled Allen TO reopen the
station. He did not have the key to
the safe and the thieves were unable
to get at the days receipts.
Apparently believing the attend
ant was resorting to trickery, the
thieves forced Allen to drive them
about the streets. When they were
finally convinced that he did not
have the key, they forced him to
drive back to the station, got cut of
the car and informed him to drive
ut least two blocks away before look
ing back.
