CHAPTER II
At this point the medical ex-
aniiner drove in. Robin Dale
remained near the Car while
he made his examination. The
reporter was also initiating a
careful study Of his own while
the gruesome work of the doc
tor proceeded. Dale found a
number of details that inter
ested him considerably and
which, peculiarly enough. frus-
trated an early, If questionable
solution of the mystery.
He, noted that the window
beside the driving seat was
raised to within three inches
Of the top; a cigarette had
burned itself out on the floor
beside the body Of Irma Glad
den: her silk evening bag lay
on the vacant seat beside her;
the stub Of a second cigarette
was on the floor of the car
near the right door where, ap-
parently, it had been pressed
out by a foot and upon the
rubber mat were distinct traces
OF reddish mud prevalent in
that locality.
Robin Dale walked through
the patio inspecting the earth
under. the shrubs and then
Strolled about the grounds con-
tinuing his minute inspection.
Finally, on the house side in q
bed of giant oleander bushes,
he found the distinct imprints
of q mans shoes.
BY this time the medical ex-
aminer had completed his work
and entered the house to re-
port to the district attorney
and Captain SommerS. While
there was probably nothing un-
expected to be obtained from
his report. Dale was interested
in hearing 1t and he followed
the doctor into the huge,
beamed living-room.

(This story is the first of a series dealing with unique and humorous incidents of the ring. Others will appear from time to time.)
By EDWARD J. NEIL GA. P. Sports Writer)

sam Langford, with his barrel chest, gorilla arms and enormous punching power, was never favor ite among the white heavYweights of his day. The Boston tar baby was just too tough.
 When Than" did fight the white boys he had to be very careful at times. Negroes were easily boycot- ted by the topnotchers. So Sam did his special and particular work on members of his own race.
 He had large colored gentle man in the ring as an opponent in Boston one night and the crowd expected more than punch or two for it's money. Sam didn't dare hit his rival with a right or the fight would have ended abruptly there So he settled down to practice left jabs until everyone was satisfied and the job could be finished
 He smote the big fellow on the nose and smote him again. He jabbed and jabbed and jabbed. Af- ter one round the enemy's nose was bleeding badly; after the second it was all cut.
 By the time the third was over he, could hardly see past it.
 But nothing that he could do pre- vented Sam from seeking that pain ful organ every time he thought about it.
 In desperation the big negro fell into a clinch. Then he found Sam's ear and pleaded into it.
 "Foh de Lawd's sake, man." he said. escattah yoh blows, scastah yolf blows!'

Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON
Colin Cameron's Obvious Attempt to Monopolize Mary Rouses Noel's Jealousy and Madge Fears An Unset of All Her Plans,

Colin Cameron's Obvious Attempt to
 Monopolize Mary Rouses Noel's
 Jealousy and Madge Fears An
 Upset of All Her Plans.
 "Yes, dear" I said as Mary hes itated. What about Noel?"
 I'm afraid he's going to be fool ish about that MT. Cameron" she said. T don't know whether you mo- ticed at dinner"
 "Yes, I did notice" I returned emphatically, for I had seen with uneasiness that the young talkie star was doing his best to monopo lize Mary's attention. In the old wives parlapce he didn't take his eyes from her" and when he was not talking to her he was listening to her replies as if his future career hung upon her words.
 A Slip of the Tongue
 T really tried hard to talk to Noel too," Mary said, but Mr. Cameron was too clever for me. I couldn't dodge talking to him with out being actually rude to him and I though you wouldn't want me to be that, because he is Mr.. Veritzen's friend"
 You are right, dear" I told her. 'I haven't decided yet just what Noels father is planning-some- thing unpleasant I am afraid-but if have any chance to circumvent him 1t will depend great deal upon his being kept in good humor. I've sacrificed something to the cause I smiled, as I touched Dicky's three rosebuds at my girdle and the showy cluster of Philip Veritzen's white or chids at my shoulder and 1 don't know what other unpleasantness may be in store for me. But I don't mind if only things turn out all right. We are all in conspiracy to humor Mir. Veritzen until after this party, and one of the surest ways of angering him would be to treat his friend cavalierly. I don't mind telling you, dearest, that you managed things beautifully during dinner. You didn't defer to the spoiled young man as most girls would have done, but you kept him nightly interested. You'll have less trouble at the dance, because we have three more young men than there are young girls, and the stag line, even though on so miniature a scale, ought to keep any young man from having a monopoly of any young girls time, which is as it should be at dances. Run along now, dear, and enjoy your evening to the utmost. I'll manage a word with Noel before he goes down to the dancing floor. That is what you want, isn't it?"
 I smiled mischievously at her, and she flushed.
 Consider yourself hugged and kissed" she said. T don't dare touch you for fear of rumpling you. You're such wonderful picture, Auntie Madge, with your hair and your eyes and your coloring, in that green gown. And those jade things Uncle Dicky gave you, and the white
