| Cowan have heard Harry Borden's
voice believing in rage at 10 min
utes past two, when he-Cowan-
had called Jack Hayward's telephone
number and been cut in on a busy
line? Unless, of course, Cowan had
been mistaken as to the voice.
But he had been positive that Bor-
den had referred to himself by
name-"Who are you to tell Harry
Borden what he can dol"
But what if Mrs. Borden had re-
turned? ;. Was it not wholly pos
sible that the discarded wife, sub
mitted at that interview to God only
knew what further humiliation at
the hands of her husband, had BROOD
cd upon her wrongs, remembered the
pistol in the bottom drawer of the
secretary's desk, and returned to kill
him, walking up the stairs SO that
her second visit should be unknown
to the elevator operator?
X X X
Apparently Detective Sergeant
McMann's logical brain had reached
the same conclusion, for he strobe
to the door and directed Birdwell. in
the outer office, to send for Mrs.
Borden, who was being detained
down the hall by Detective Convey.
While awaiting the arrival Of the
newly made widow, the sergeant re-
sumed his questioning of Minnie
Cassidy.
Nov think hard, Minnie" he d.
rected, with brusque kindness. Ibid
you see anyone else at all enter or
leave these offices OH Saturday aft
ernoon?"
, "Do We think l had nothin' to do
but to watch Mr.. Borden's offices,
Tommy McMann?" Minnie demand
ed indignantly. II had me work to
do"
answer the question, please,
Minnie," McMann interrupted impa-
tiently.
Haven't l answered it," Minnie
was curiously truculent.
"Did you see the dancer whose
picture is in the papers, too?" Nc
Mann tried a new method. Rita
Dubois, her name is. She's admit
ted she was here, so you needn't be
afraid of getting her into trouble"
he added, with somewhat weary sar-
casm. The scrubwoman's reluctance
to give any information which would
incriminate another was undoubtedly
wearing his patience thin.
"That / didn't" Minnie retorted
cmphatically. "When l finished Mr..
Feldblum's offices l went around
into the other wing Of the building,
and was busy there until about half
past two, then / went to the supply
room again, to rest meself a bit,
though We needn't be tellin' Mr..
Coghlan I said that. He thinks us
girls is all wheel-horses-"
Il shan't tell on you, Minnie" Nc
Mann chuckled. "Oh, all right, Bird
well. Show Mrs. Borden in. Sor-
ry to bother you again, Mrs. Bor-
den," he apologized brusquely, as

another of them drafted automobiles
explodin' like pistol shot"
(which is exactly what you die
say to yourself sometime between {
quarter to two and three o'clock!'
McMann bounced triumphantly
when was it, Minnie Cassidy? Re
member that Tim Cassidy gave hi:
life in the service of law and order
and that I'm in that service now!"
I'D tell We if | knew, Tommy Nc.
Mann!" Minnie Cassidy defended
herself spiritedly. "But if such q
noise / heard, / have no recollection
Of it now, and thumb screws and
hot irons couldn't make me say
had"
"All right" McMann shrugged
frowning at the notes on the case
which he was shuffling through his
big. thick hands. Suddenly a memo
in his own handwriting caught his
eye. "When you were coming out of
Feldblum's offices you saw Mrs
Borden leaving. That's right, isn't
it? She's already told me a scrub
woman saw her."
II did see lady come out" Min
ME acknowledged, 'but I didn't
know it was Mrs. Borden till / saw
her pictures in the papers. One of
the cleaning ladies had all the pa
pers, and I pointed to Mrs. Borden's
picture and told her I'd seen her
leaving Mr.. Borden's office when ]
was coming out Of Mr.. Feldblum' S
reception room down the hail."
Ruth suddenly leaned toward Min
ME Cassidy, forestalling McMann's
next question with one Of her own:
"Was there some reason why you
noticed Mrs. Borden particularly,
Minnie ?"
McMann leaned back in his chair,
tacitly giving his consent to question
and answer.
Minnie hedged. "With so few COM
in and goin' on Sat'dy afternoon,
why shouldn't notice her? And I
don't believe for a minute that the
Door lady would shoot the father of
her two little children"
"Was Mrs. Borden crying?" Min
nie?" McMann suddenly interrupt
ed. II must have the truth"
"Well, cryin' she was them" Min
ME admitted belligerently. "And
why shouldn't she be? Separated
from her husband and still lovin'
him, like the papers say. Not takin'
on, jist dabbin' at her eyes with her
handkerchief, then pressin' it hard
against her mouth"
Cold logic, however, prevented
Ruth from taking any joy in this
confirmation of her theory that the
interview between Harry Borden and
his wife had not gone so smoothly,
so amicably as the widow had testi-
fled.
If Mrs. Borden had shot her hus-
band between 20 minutes of two and
10 minutes Of two. how could Bill

Mrs. Borden answered in Z quiet,

ter Hotel, while came to see my

ladies' parlor, in charge Of the maid

ices. I took charge of the children
myself then, and was with them con-
tinuously until they went to bed in
the evening. The three of US attend
ed a motion picture downtown--a
war picture that my little son was
eager to see"
II see," McMann commented non-
commitally. Then, in rapid success
sion, he fired half dozen questions
designed to pick a flaw in the wild
ow's alibi, his flying pencil making
notes Of the detailed information
she gave him as to the name Of the
theater, the time she and her chill
dren had arrived there, even the mu-
steal and dancing numbers Of the
prologue which had introduced the
feature picture.
Ruth knew, as the detective left
the private office for a conference
with Birdwell in the outer room, that
every detail of that alibi would be
carefully checked, that even Harry
Borden's children would be pitilessly
cross-examined, but she had little
hope that Mrs. Borden's alibi would
be shaken-and, looking at the sad
faced, bereaved woman, Ruth could
not but be glad.
McMann returned, sat down,
again faced the widow, who was
standing, with one hand clenched
tightly upon the back Of the chair
in which Minnie Cassidy sat. She
had refused a chair for herself. "Mrs.
Borden, Minnie> Cassidy here has cor
roborated what you said about your
seeing her when you left your hus-
bands office about 10 minutes to
two on Saturday. But-shc also says
that she saw you wiping tears from
your eyes. Is that true?"

that he would not return to me and

The detective looked at her stead
lily for a long minute, then said
abruptly: "That's all, Mrs. Borden.
You may go home to your children,
but of course you are not to leave
town and are to hold yourself avail
able for further questioning at any
time."
"Thank you," Mrs. Borden said in
a low voice, as she turned toward
the door.
"Please, Mr.. McMann," Ruth
begged urgently, "may I ask Mrs.
Borden just one question:" The de-

arly beautiful contralto voice :"
Color famed suddenly in the pale,
aristocratic face Of Harry Borden's
widow. She drew in her breath
sharply, and her eyelids fluttered,
before she answered, almost haught-
lily: 81 am afraid / can give you lit
tie help along - those lines, Miss
Lester. Naturally Mr.. Borden's in
innate women friends were not
known to me-socially."
She opened the door, passed into
the outer office, closed the door be-
hind her.
Ruth shrank in her chair as IL the
widows words had been blows in her
face. But beneath the throb Of hui
initiation two things clamored for
recognition-the fact that Mrs. Bor-
den had not really answered her
question and the suspicion, amount
ing to certainty, that the widow
had known only too well the answer
to that question.
But why should she try to shield,
by concealing her name, one of the
women who had undoubtedly possess
sed Harry Borden's love-temporar-
lily at least-after his wife had lost
it? Ruth suddenly felt too tired and
bewildered to bear any more, but
she raised her head, listened wear

view with Minnie Cassidy.

saying. slows the baby, by the

admitted, as heartily as WEAKNESS
and Encouragement would permit.
"And q good girl, too. She helps

"A good GIRL" Minnie repeated,
tears springing into her watery old
eyes. "I'll tell Rose We was askin'

hard, with Tim gone and all, but I've
tried to do everything for the chill

agreed absently, his eyes on his
notes again. whats the name of

she eagerly awaited the arrival Of

"rookic cop" with her husband and
who was now detective sergeant,
was hanging on her words. "Jist

"Just minute, Minnie" McMann
interrupted. "What did Borden say

"He didn't say nothing-just

MCATEE ENDS CAREER
 BY RAISING "CEILING"

EAST LANSING, Mich, July 27. When Harold McAtee leaped l3 feet, 3-4 inches at the national A. A. U. meet in Denver recently for a new junior pole vault mark, he closed his track career with the best effort he has made.
 Just to prove that it was no fluke, the Michigan State star went into the senior championships the next day and vaulted 13 feet, 6 inches, for a three-cornered tie Under A. A. U. rules, run-off was necessary. Then McAtee could do no better than 13 feet, 9 inches, for fourth place.
 McAtee's entrance in the nation al meet produced no special en- thusiasm on the part of his friends. From his college records it was be- lieved 13 feet was just about his ceiling.
 McAtee leaves a splendid record DSAlliAl lAllil do dl4 uJlilCJC db In4SAA- igan State college.
 In his three years of athletic competition, he was the greatest point man Michikan state ever had and such statistics include the name of Freddy Alderman, States great est sprint star of all times. McAtee has tied or defeated every one of his contemporaries, with the excep- tion of California's Barnes. He and Sabin Carr, Yale's great vault CT, tied two years ago at 12 feet inches at the Penn relays.
 McAtee came to Michigan state four years ago, leaving behind him a high school vaulting mark of 10 feet 4 inches. In his first year at State he raised the bar up to II feet 10 inches, and the year follow ing, 13 feet 5-8 inches for his best mark prior to the A. A. U. meet.
