SOLUTION TO YESTERDAYS
 Directions for Murder

Emerson, the mystery story writer, was a better detective than Grey. He proved he wasn't out or Crescent Boulevard that nigh: He accounted for all of his time. He exhibited the page of fiction ill which he had written description Of lead bar murder as Cavan- auGh suggested.
 But he did more, he noted with the eyes of q veteran newspaper man, the long steel rod protrud- ing from the junk truck,
 He noted the sharp turn into the road.
 Your man wasn't murdered, he was accidentally killed by that steel rod in the truck. It was dark when the driver drove in and this man thought he was clear of the tuck, he couldn't see the long projecting rod. It hit him in the back of the neck when the truck turned sharply" Emerson said.
 There was iron rust on the back Of the dead mans neck. No rust comes from lead.
 The height of the rod, from the ground corresponded with the height of the unfortunate mans neck from the ground. Everyone, including the chagrined young de- tective Grey, agreed that Emerson vas right.

a little of that tax money to place nets on the other side of the white washed fences to catch the driver as he goes over the embankment.
 You never can tell. The choking sound we hear in the old bus may be merely the engine breathing a sigh of relief as it sneaks by another auto cemterey.
 No doubt real absentminded professor is one who in overhaul ing his car closes all the doors and murmurs: Now valves, be seated"
 Of course the salesman is con- servative. We've never yet heard one mention that the car is also good on downhill grades and when being lowed.
 We never knew it was our neigh bor who stopped next to us in traffic until we saw our monkey wrench which he had borrowed and prom ised to return lying on his running board.
 Somehow we don't agree with the chap who said the extras on the new car will soon include chaperon. The manufacturers will never equip the buggy with anything that will cramp ones style.

CARRIER MAY LOSE
 STEAMSHIP LINES
Petition Of Competitor Ship
 Owners Will Be Heard

Hartford, April 26.-A hearing be- fore interstate commerce commits sion in Boston, May 26, may result in forced sale of the New York to Hartford boat line and all other steamship lines controlled by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company. At the hear ing the commission will consider the temporary permit under which the boat lines are operated by the New York, New Haven & Hartford con- trolled New England Steamship Co.,.
 Meanwhile shippers using the boats are organizing to place their opinions before federal authorities In the Hartford district sentiment apparently favors continuation of the line by the New York, New Haven X, Hartford group because of fears that purchase by other interests would re- sult,in high rates.
 The decision of the interstate commerce commission to investigate the matter is said to have been brought on because of petition from the Colonial Steamship line which operates between Providence and Boston.
 The petition which requested that the railroad be compelled to give up it's steamship holdings under a federal act which prohibits the oper- ation of the boat service by rail- road company accommodating simi- lar routes, was denied by the con- mission in March,
 Besides the Hartford to New York line, other steamship lines controlled by the New York, New Haven X, Hartford railroad are the Fall River line, Providence line, New London line and tlc New Haven line.

Chapter S6 MIR. DELL'S DAY

Before she had time to change her mind, Jacquelinc went straight to Byrams.
 Through the showrooms under the inquisitive eyes~of the girls who recognized her despite the changes wrought by three months of strug- gle, illness and cmi-starvation, straight to the ground-glass door with "Office" inscribed upon it.
 Within sat keswick Dell. He had done a lot of thinking since Jacque- line had walked out of his office af- ter she had rejected his proposal and had been discharged. He was desperately in love with her, in his way, and realized that he had use ] the wrong methods to win her.
 So he trod carefully and con- cealed the song in his heart as she stood before him. He stood up as she entered, a mark of courtesy he had never shown an employee be- tore, and held out his hand to Jac- queline.
 "Vcry glad 10 see you again, Miss Grey" he said, briskly. Like old times. Always pleased to see an old friend. l hope things are well with you. Can I have the pleasure of showing you some of our latest tbings?"
 He knew well enough what she had come for. but considered it best to play a waiting game.
 T haven't come to buy anything, MT. Dell, but to ask if you will be good enough to give me some york;
 Work, Of course I will." re- piled Dell with d bluff good humor. There is always a job waiting for you here, Miss Grey. l was sorry enough to lose you. Can you start straight away"
 "Yes. if you please, Mir. Dcll.'
 Good. What do you want models?"
 'If you think 1 am fit for it."
 He looked at her appraisingly. You have got bit thinner, but present. day models have to be slim. The simmer the better. So you'll do quite well. Will you live in IS before, or would you prefer to live out?"
 She stammered and blushed. Dell was quick enough to understan her difficulty.
 Would weeks money in ad- vance be of any help to you?"
 "You are very kind, Mir. Dell, an ir, that case I would prefer 10 live out if l may, at least for a time"
 Certainly you may. You were always my daintiest and most charming model, and I am glad to get you back at any price. Some ot our styles have never been shoWI to advantage since you left" But Jacqueline was not deceiyeG by all this. cleyerly done as it was Nobody knew better than she tho price she had got to pay sooner c, later. Her innate honesty woul not allow her to continue the gam, of pretense which he had started She faced him bravely.

Coroner's Verdict

Slas Davidson's man. work wanted to see the old man for in- structions but was unable to get in- 10 the house when he arrived from his own cottage in the village.
 Thinking that the old man w9s sleeping later than usual he busiel himself with odd jobs, but arouni neon he became alarmed. The old Tan had never before slept later than seven.
 Grigg, the laborcr, went to the village and got a policeman to come back with him.
 After repeated knockings and ringing of the bell the policeman got a step ladder and climbed up to force window. The window vas too high from the ground 10 permit anyone to look in. but what the policeman saw from the step ladder caused him to smash the glass, unfasten the catch, raise the window and go in.
 Silas Davidson lay dead on the floor beside an easy chair The amazing thing was a rifle strapped to table about ten feet from th3 chair.
 There was a stout cord tied to the trigger of the rifle and it lay along the floor, the end being close to the dead man.
 The policeman tclephoned for the coroner and q brother officer. Knew Him for Years
 Doctor Jennifer, young man newly made coroner, drove to the Davidson place in the outskirts Of the town. The other officer was with him.,
 These two officers had known old man Davidson all their lives The coroner, having been in the town but few years and never having attended him in a pssfes- sional way, knew little about him.
 Blake and Tucker, the officers examined everything along with the coroner.
 That's a new way to commit suiside, Doc Blake said.
 'Um- n- m -m," murmured the doctor.
 Plain as church steeple," |" Tucker comnented, the old man got tired of living and rigged up that contrivance to make sure of popping off promptly-"
 Through the heart" Doctor Jennifer announced, as he ex- amined the fatal wound.
 ' "Old Davidson used to be quite q hunter in his younger days. I guess he took measurements and made sure the bullet would get him in the heart" Blake told the doctor
 "Um- m-m- m-m,' murmured the young doctor, and then, 'how about his peopleo'
 He lived alone, got his own meals. Did his own work until h. got rheumatic, then he hired Grig- 10 do that for him but he manage ] the inside work"
 He Never Married
 But how about relatives?" the young doctor insisted.
 He was an old batch never married, but there's married sis ter living in Alton" Blake said. Alton was town some thirty miles away.
 - What about his sisters hus- bsndo"
 No good drunken and shift less, old Davidson used to support his sister but never would permit her to give her worthless husband cent. This sister will get the old mans money he has left plenty - and her no-good husband will get it away from her"
 When he works. which is sell dom, he is a tinker. He went around with q tinkcr's cart but h.
