She had been feeling badly all

Billy Treat. I'd met him there
quite often. He was attending

head and doing all manner Of

missed him.
For half an hour we argued,
and it ended with her threat
to bring me 10 ruin. 10 was
while she was acting on this
threat that she died."
"You understand, Mr.. Bran
deis, this places you in a very
serious position. Why did you
return to the apartment at

"I was in such a condition
that I saw nothing except being
accused Of murder and tried
to think Of any possible way
in which I might establish an
alibi for myself. But I didn't
do it," he went on nervously.
"I've told you the truth! Mr..

How could anybody have
done that?"

Robin Dale had entered the

A little later Dale sat at the

waste basket he rllmmaged
and found q tiny bit Of bread

tiny envelopes that had con-

After that Robin Dale sat

There was still half an hour
to wait for Gregory Brandeis
after the young lady had left.
1t was becoming more and more
evident that there was not
much to. be regretted because
Of the passing Of zelma Shaw
and, on the other hand,
more and more certain that a
woman of her characteristics
could hardly take her own life.
Despite the new factor. in the
person of Estelle Hawley, the
manner Of the two deaths was
as inexplicable as ever; more
SO, in fact, because the theory
Of murder and suicide was grad

It was his startling testimony
which finally made certain that
double murder had been com

Hawley had given without know

Some of the points he strove
to conceal, but by clever ques-

them all to the surface.

LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
A Question Of PrOpriety
Dear Miss Fairfax:

A Question Of PrOpriety
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is it proper for a young wo-
man to ask q gentleman to
call on her., or should she let
him take the initiative in
this regard? The gentleman
is an acquaintance, but he
has not asked for q date, and
I wonder If the girl is q bit
oyeranxious. ALICE
II the gentleman hasn't
shown any wish to know the
young woman better, it might
seem rather forced for her to
invite him to call formally.
Still, I don't believe in girls
being over-timid, so long as they
keep within the proprietieS.
Why does she not ask two peo-
pie IN for bridge some evening,
and telephone the young man
that she needs some one to
make a fourth? This will sup
ply an opening for a friend
ship, whether the young man
plays bridge or not. He viii
then be obliged by polteness to
make the next move.
