Wythe talked to him at 5
o'clock. That fact knocked the
foundation from under the en-
tire structure Of the crime as
the reporter had built it up.
At two, or thereaboutS, Wythe
left his apartment. And no
one saw him return! There
entered the important factor:
Where did he go? Wherever
it was, he probably left at ap-
proximately three o'clock. He
returned as he had gone, by
the alley entrance, probably
had a key from Jackson. But
he never got to his apartment.
The crime probably was COM
united in the basement, where
his body was hidden until the
following morning. when the
laundry wagon offered the
bizarre manner Of dispoSing Of
the body and throwing the po-
lice off the track.
Simple, very simple but
if this was true, how was
Wythe able to speak from his
apartment at five o'clock?
Who had access to the base
ment? Any Of those under sus-
picion. It was a simple matter
to wait in the alley for Wythe,
hit him over the head and then
with the key from Wythe's own
pocket open the basement door.
Where had Wythe gone?
How did he happen to be in

In fact, things came to q
standstill for many days. It
was close onto New Years Eve
before any important develop
ment took place. Then things
started happening with start
ling SwiftneSs, cliInaxing with
the arrest Of the culprit.
The first development was unz
expected. Fortunately, Captain
Blake had kept shadows on all
the suspects in the case. Two
days before the New Year,
Thomas Jackson was brought
into police headquarters after
i, having that day attempted to
board a train for the West.
In order to protect his daugh-
ter, who was with him, she was
escorted back to her home, but
none Of the details Of the affair
were given to her. At her IA
theirs request. it was merely exc
planned to her that he was an
important witness and was,
therefore, not permitted to
leave the city. jackson, how
ever, was brought to Captain
Blake's office to explain his &C
ton, being under arrest.

Advice to LOvelOrn
,By Beatriee Fairfax-

Marriage Between Relatives
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Your advice on this subject
win be greatly appreciated. /
am q young man Of 20, and
think very much Of q young
lady Of 20 who is some relation
to me-just how much ! cannot
say, but my mother is half
sister to her mother. Now do
you think we are too nearly
related to get married? Would
it be against the law? I thank
you very much for your advice.
CONSTANT READER.
Your question, my friend, Is
one that should be answered
by q lawyer, for it concerns
the law Of the State In which
you live, or rather the law Of
the State in which you plan to
marry.
AS far as I know, however,
the marriage would not be u
legal, since it is only marriages
Of first cousins that are barred
in some States of the UnsaA.'
The reason marriages of first
cousins is frowned upon by
many authorities is that when
the blood relationship between
a man and his wife is so close
children Of the marriage usu-
ally have the traits Of the fam.
lily. both good and bad. EN-
phasized in great degree. So
that many family defects, WeaE
IleSses or diseases might be-
more noticeable in the children
than in either parent. The
same objection does not hold
when the relationship is more
distant than that of first
cousins. J. #

The answer to these two
questions might bring the an
swer to the whole riddle.
It turned out that many days
would pass before Dale found
the satisfactory answer to
them. And when he did learn
the answers, only one Of them
was as he had anticipated.
The next day Robin Dale
waited until early afternoon be-
fore dropping in on Captain
Blake. The various suspects
had been questioned. AL had
satisfactory explanations ex-
cept Norris, who had previously
admitted tramping the streets
during the fateful night.
"Murdock went directly to
Lindmann's and sat around
there, drinking coffee with
some Of his crowd, until six
thirty in the morning."
That's number one"
Saunders hated to admit it,
but he finally said, when he
realized .le had to make some
explanation, that he found his
wife waiting up for him and
they got into q battle-a bat
tie Of words, he explained
pointedly-that lasted most Of
the night.

CHAPTER Y

Robine Dale made one more
stop. 1t was at the Brighton
Apartments, which backed
upon the Deauville Court.
Brighton Apartments faced on
Fifty-fourth Street and had its
service entrance ton the alley
with the Deauville Court. He
chatted for a while with the
night-boy about the murder, the
sotry having broken in the
papers that afternoon. He led
cautiously up to the single
point on which he wanted as
surance.
"By the way, Mr.. Ernest
SaunderS-liyes in this apart

"Sure, he's got a knockout

But Robin Dale sat until the
first gray tones of dawn streak

again.

The Art Of Friendship

quets at his wife at judicicus
intervals.
The best after-dinner speaker,
like the most satisfactory wife,
is not the one who knows how
to talk the most brilliantly, but
the one who knows, when TO
STOP talking.
After a few years Of butter
fly love making, a woman
charmer probably feels that 1t
would be as difficult for him
to concentrate all his affections
on one particular girl as 1t
would be for him to set his
heart on a pet $40 bill.
When q girl wears skirts, In
these day of pajamaS, riding
breeches and shorts, it looks al
most as If she were going out
of her way to work the "sex-
appeals" stuff.
When q modern marriage
fails, it is usually because an
ideal playmate so often turns
out to be q flop as q heIpmate.
The man who pays his bills,
keeps his chin shaved. comes
home regularly to dinner and
loves his own wife for six days
of the week, doesn't have to
spend much time abiI-ing him
self to the Lord on the Sab
bath.
It isn't always what you. get
ont Of marriage, but what You
escape by going into it that
counts. Marriage Is the door,
by which a woman escapes
from boredom. Spinsterhood or
poverty and by which a man,
escapes from himSelf-and a lot
Of other women.
When the flame of an old
love has burned to ashes, II
takes merely the Iightest ZEPHYR
Of a new heart-interest to blow
out the last spark.

Don't Lend Jewelry
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20. I went out with o
chap four years my senior for
about five months. During that
time I let him wear my gradua-
ton ring. I also have a sweater
Of his that he Let me use.
Well. for no reason that I
know Of except that he just
tired Of me, he hasn't asked me
for q date for the past two
months. He called up at inter
valS, just saying that he'll be
over to see me soon. But it's
the same thing each time.
II he cared to see me he'd
ask for a date when he calls
and it isn't that he's waiting
for an invitation, because I've
suggested that he call. I'd like
TO return his sweater and get
my ring again. I mentioned
the fact concerning the sweater
and he jus: said he'd be over for
it some time. Please tell me
how to get my ring back.
VIRGINIA. =
Virginia. I believe you will
have to write the young man
who has your ring, asking him
to return it, If you hope to get
it back. Don't you think that
would be best?
Explain to him that 1t Is your
graduation ring-a present
and for that reason has especial
value, and that you would con-
slider it Q great courtesy IL he
would return the ring. Tell him
he is welcome to his sweater
also, any time he wishes it.
That is all you can do. II
girls would think twice before
loaning or giving expensive gifts
to young men, much emharraSs-
meTt and hard feeling might be
saved later on!

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

I"NAASs NOEWSlIuS DGGEMA1dMt
Dear Mrs. Beeckman: ~. y
I am engaged to be married
and my intended husband awD
I have been planning our we'd
ding party. We are going to
have a church wedding, moth
ing elaborate, but We want It
to be correct and. therefore, !
am writing to you. My future
husband Is an only son, and
in deciding for his best men,
he wants his father to take
that position. Is that proper?
M. s.
Yes, entirely proper, and to
me one of the most charming
gestures that a man can make
to his father. And how hon
oreC. viii be that father to have
a son that wishes to give this
honor to him!
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
l. I am about to be married
and I would appreciate it very
much If you would advise me
about the following. My huS-
band-to-be works in an office
where there are a number of
girls. If he takes cigars to the
men, should candy be taken to
the girls? If so, to whom
should it be given?
2. When cake and coffee or
ice cream are served. should
the cake be eaten with q fork?
A READER.
/. This gesture would not
be necessary and would seem
a bit far fetched. /
2. This is the better form.
