Advice to LOVelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Playing a Cat-and-MOuse Game
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 10 years old and am
madly in love with a girl who
is only a few months younger
than I am. I have proven
that really care for her, and
nobody else. But there are
times when she tells me that
it doesn't make a bit of diff
ference to her whether we go
out together or not. Some
times I think / should never
have told her how much she
really means to me. because
she treats me mean, although
I think she cares a little.
I have been going with her
for two years and have often
spoken to her Of marriage.
She tells me we're never going
to be married. when she's q
little mad and wants to be
mean. but when she is amiable
she talks about our lives to-
gether after we're married. I
am working steady but could
not get married on the job I
have now. Before I marry I
want to be positive I will be
able to take care of her nicely
and give her nice home. To

"He kept speaking about his association

OF course there was nothing he could saw.

conclusive. -.
Later, in Captain BIake's office Robin

"It was . very little thing which started

Early the next morning Robin Dale was
at Captain Blake's office. They took only
Sergeant Jardin with them and proceeded
to Brooklyn in one Of the police cars.
There they picked up Mae RyersOn and
Belle Walsh.
They drove ON toward the scene Of the
two atrOciOus crimes. They went on along
Kings Highway, turning In at Kings Asy-
lum. They all aIighted and entered the
main building.
Dale went on ahead while the others
waited at the reception room. He wanted
to announce their presence to Osternann.
He found the chief clerk, as usual, bent
over his desk going over records and files.
Captain Blake Is outside; we have a
little mission to perform here today, Mr..
Ostermann. Would you mind seeing the
captain for moment"
"Sure / come right away"
The two chatted as they went through
the corridor and into the reception room.
At the door Ostermann hesitated as he
looked into the room. Dale, behind him,
took him by the arm and led him toward
the group. The two girls had risen and
were staring at the clerk.
AS they met in group, Dale suddenly
and deftly, threw Ostermann's Spectacles

} was attempt made on Swar--
ney's life? Why
There Dale stopped. It was
after II in the morning and he
had not slept. He stopped at
that point, for he had found
the. answer. 1t became crystal
clear in one sudden flashl Not
once before had it even oc-
CURED to him, and yet there it
was, the only possible answer
to the grueSome riddle! He
gave a shout of exaltation, wrote
one other hypothetical question
across the paper and then
burned them all.
He had written this line:
Who profits the most by these
terrible crimes?
THE answers the same to all
the questions!" he cried out tri-
umphantly as the papers burned
to black ash in a little bowl.
That afternoon Robin Dale
rode into Rotsford, the county
seat. He sought out Prosecutor
Wright. whom he had met on
the previous assignment. Dale
told his story. The detective
aides were sent for and they,
in turn, listened in astonisn-
ment to Dale's recital. When
he was finished he summed

Wen wait until I get q report
from him and then all to our

that!"
Fifteen minutes later Nc
Laughlin came in. He had
some startling news
cap Wiegle and Adele left
right after the ShoW--they
went into town. One of the
girls thinks they're going to be
married. I couldn't find Beebo,
either. Tito was in the wagon,
lying across her bunk, Sobbing
Historically. I tried to talk to
her, but she wouldn't say q
word for a long while. Finally
she blubbered, It's too late
now-he made me tell him. It's
too late! She wouldn't tell me
what was too late, an I guess
she meant that Beebo made
her tell him the truth about
her trouble. Swarney was missin,'
too. Hell's gonna pop loose here,
I can feel it. Where was Swar-

him about some change in the

somethin's crawlin' up on him

This dissertation had been
interspersed with brief ques-
tionS from Dale: short, sharp
questions. Dale Sprang to his
feet at the end.
"We'll have to move fast,
men, or we'll be too late! Maybe
we're too late already! On a
run!"
But they never got past the
door before the ominous roar
Of the lions was heard, and
then an ungodly, blood-curdling
shrek from q human throat.
Shrek upon Shrek followed it
as Dale rushed madly at the
head of the police across va
cant grounds. Coming from the
opposite direction, the first ones
they met were Cap Wiegle and
Adele Beller.
Whose shrieks had they
heard? Who attempted the
third murder? Who killed jeff

Anne's death? What was the

Then, suddenly and unexpect-
edly, a deep voice came from
within the wagon. A voice
which spoke in q commanding
tone. Beebo.
Come in here! I've warned
you not to talk! Go way and
let her be, you meddlerl"
Tito ran into the wagon and
the door slammed behind her.
Dale went slowly, thoughftuliy
to his own quarters. He did nor
leave them again until late the
following afternoon. All that
night and through most of the
succeeding forenoon he grap-
pied with the problem. The
necessary facts, he knew, were
now all in his possession It
remained for him to arrange
them in the proper order. This
done he knew, from past ex-
perience, that the grim trag-
edies Of the Beller and Swar-

a mystery.

CHAPTER vi

More and more Robin Dale
realized he was confronted by
a mind of diabolical cunning,
clever, almost too clever, and ut
E terly ruthless. The new de.
velopment, of course, hazed
matters even more for q time
but it finally gave the outstand-
ing clue Of the strange case, the
one clue through which it was
possible to trace the murderer.
After the night performance
Dale walked about the grounds.
AimleSSly it seemed, but 1t vas
really with purpose. He wanted
to speak with Tito. Somehow,
he had felt from the first that
the key to the situation lay
with her.
Beebo scarcely ever left her
side so interviews with Tito had
been difficult to accomplish.
That night fortune was with
him. After the camp had set
tied down to q spectral quiet,
Dale, passing Beebo's wagon,
found Tito seated on the rear
steps gazing off into space,
Dale startled her.
I'm sorry if I frightened
you," Dale apologized.
That's all right. You like
the night. too?" She had a
sweet voice.
Usually, I do. But. around
here, I wouldn't think you'd
feel safe sitting out alone
mo one win hurt me-" There
was a strange, quiet assurance
in her statement.

answered. "I wonder do you

ney and the rest Of your friends
here?"

little startled.
Don't you know who had
reason for trying to poison Mr..
Swarney?" Dale answered her
abruptly.
She rose to her feet. Dale
saw she was agitated by the
question. Her voice took on a
higher pitch when she replied to
him. She was excited and
frightened.
