eleven-thirty BrandeiS came
back to the apartment. Walked
right by the board and knocked
at zelma Shaw's door. Kept
at it for about five minutes
and then Abraham told him
that she had company inside
and probaly didn't want to be
disturbed.
Then, at seven-thirty this
morning, Brandeis called on the
telephone and asked to be con.
nected with Zelma'S apartment.
I got that out of jackson after
I left the Sycamore
jackson told Brandeis he had
orders never to disturb Miss
Shaw for any reason until she
had given word that she was
awake"

Sergeant?"
That Brandeis didn't know
she was dead :"
"Or that he was framing an
unassailable alibi, Sarg."

Robin Dale was at Captain
Blake'S office well before IL the
following morning. He was
anxious to learn what DR.. Wat
ties report had brought forth.
Every chocolate in the box
was free from poison" Captain
Blake told him, "but you'll re-
member there had been one
taken from the box and appar-
emily eaten. The compounds in
the little paper envelopes and in
the capsules were ordinary bro
mideS in common use as a relief
from headache and upset
nerves"
Anything new on the mys-
terious lady?"
Not q thing, probably just
some friend that dropped in"
The attendant entered and
announced Mrs. yelling.

Dale had found one infallihle
way of testing his deductions,
especially at the beginning of a
case. Picking out a line of
analytical attack he would try
to anticipate future occurrences
which must logically follow in
line with the analysis.
If, as the case progressed, his
anticipationS failed to material
iZe he decided that his original
hypothesis must have been in
correct. And if the scope that
gradually uncovered facts diff
fered from assumptions he was
able in like ratio to alter the
original hypothesis.
What would be likely to hap
pen next? The telephone
brought him the answer unex-
pectedly. 1t was Captain Blake.
We've located Mrs. yelling.
Gregory Brandeis and Billy
Treat. They're coming to head
quarters tomorrow - thought

Thanks for calling"
Robin Dale settled back iH
the easy-chair. Here was some.
thing to anticipate. Why had
Mrs. yelling sent a box of
chocolates to the woman who
had just robbed her of a hus-
band? To poison her?
That would have been ridi-
culous in view of the card and
the signature? Why then?
And Gregory Brandeis: That
was slightly more simple. An
attorney who had probably sue.
curnbed to the charms of his
client only that would
account for his presence at ten

after a case was finished. But
why the exit in anger and ex-
element? A lovers quarrel2

presence
A knock came on the door.

Judge Bachelors decision
should bring aid and comfort
to q woman signing herself
"BroLenhearted Wife" and writ
ing me as follows:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been happily married
for 20 years and not one bit OF
trouble till now. Ny husband
and an unmarried girl have met
and loved, and 60 out together
I have seen them. He now
treats me terribly, fusSing
and Quarreling or not speaking
at all. We d1ave q dear boy, 16
years old, and he treats him
cruelty, too. We know we can't
stand this life much longer,
what should we do? Leave him,
or stay and try to defend our
rights
A BROKENaEARTED WIFE.
1t might be well if this wom-
an could give the husband to
whom she has been happily mar
ried for 90 years another chance
to recover his reasoning facul-
ties.
It's a very unusual and SUI
perior type of man that a wife
can bring through his third
teething--i. e., the time when
the dentist outfits him with
porcelain false fronts-without
some sort Of love pirate kidnRp-
ing.
Gentlemen approaching so be-
gin to see the doomed years
ahead, those terrible garrulous
years when they live entirely in
the past--don't they see it on
every side? And the love-pirate
with her bright smile and her
come-hither glance furnishes a
sort of false youth insurance.
She is the sprightly will-of-the-
wiSp, floundering after which
causes many a distracted mar
ried man to land deeper and
deeper in the bog.
Notices have gone out Of fash

given to the pastime Of snatch

would copy Judge Bachelors

forehead wrinkled.

newspaper story is this, Dale?"
An 'alibi, Mr.. Bailey, a nice,

provoking tone. when they

The city editor smiled. He

An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
Superior Judge chester A.
Batchelor, of Seattle, Wash,
issued q warning a few days
ago. to ladies who are as free
and irresponsible about snatch
tngs other ladies' husbands as
they would be about gathering
. bunch Of wild flowers.
"6ive I'D the new automobile
and help pay alimony to your
predecessor and maintenance to
the children" was the giSt OF
the courts opinion handed
down to q couple by the name
Of johnson.
Several newspaper clippings
dealing with this and similar
legal decisions mailed to me by
correspondents should make
fair young love pirates stop
and think If it might not be
just as well to maintain a
hands off policy in regard to
married wild flowers and con-
fine their attenticns--to keep
the figure of speech in the
gareen-Strictly of bachelors
bflttons."
In the case of the johnson
family. Of Seattle, the husband
claimed he couldn't pay ali
meny or help to support a
minor child, owing to bad busi-
ness conditions. Wife Number
ONES lawyer pointed out that
the. latest Mr.. and Mrs. John
6oar were driving a very good
new car. Husbands lawyer
arose and said that Wife Num-
heR. Two was paying for the
car.
"Well," said the judicial Solo
mon, of Seattle, when a
woman is able to provide her
husband with such luxuIies as
automobiles she should be able
to help him maintain her prede-
ceSsor and her children"
MDw let the cymbals crash,
and. the Saxophone wall its
most melancholy dirge! That
decision will cause many a love
pirate to watch her step. If
you've got to help pay alimony,
and support the kids what's
the use?" you will ask, Il

my own pay envelope-at least
that's all mine. I don't have to

q man that deferreth the first

Cathie closed her eyes. The

argument, the scuttIing Of feet

The chill breeze from the

Needed job Badly

His gesture just goes to
show what the unemployment
situation really is when it
comes down to baseball as
we'll as other channels Of en-
deavor. Most baseball folk,
having a yen to undertake new
things in the diamond sphere,
would have picked out a spot
where there was some possible
chances of success.
Not Collins!
Collins climbed right aboard
a sinking ship when he knew
it had been floundering about
for years with no chance Of
righting itself so far as support
from either the Boston owners
or Boston fans are concerned.
With the knowledge that as
smart a baseball man as Bill
Carrigan was unable to pilot
the derelict anywhere in three
years. trial and that Heinie
Wagner was just, as unsuccess-
full in, a years attempt, Collins
leaps into the breach and Of
fers up his good name on the

Jimmy DeHart Next

And were we further asked
to name the years most noted
martyr in sports, that man
would be Jimmy DeHart,, de-
posed coach of the Duke Uni
versity football team.
Jimmy's eleven dropped the
first game of its season to
South Carolina by a score of
% to 0 whereupon the powers
who be at Durham saw fit to
announce it was DeHart'S last
year at Duke. From that point
on Jimmy'S squad proceeded
throughout the season without
a defeat and only one tie, that
with Wake Forest. In fact, only
Wake Forest, Villanova and Ken
lucky were able to score on Duke
after South Carolina's victory.
Knowing he was to be ousted
at the end of a year, Jimmy ex-
horted his players to deeds lit
tie predicated by the showing
against South Carolina, and
therein is an excellent key to
the relationship of the alumni
to the average college coaching
situation.
Therefore we again nominate
John Shane Collins and Jimmy
DeHart as the years noblest ex-
amp1es of unselfishness and
martyrdom, respectively.

That California is strong for the
installation Of the Notre Dame
system of football was indicated
here today as rumors filtered
back from the East that two
former Notre Dame players had
the inside track on securing the
position of California coach next
season.
The names mentioned in con-
nection with the Jobs are those
of Charley Bachman, Florida
coach, and Harry Mehre, Georgia
mentor. It is known that Cali
fornia represen t yes have
sounded out both men and it is
expected that one Of them will
be at the California helm next
year.
It was also learned that Frank
Carideo, quarterback on the 1880
Notre Dame squad, if he would
accept, would be named assistant
to the California coach, whoever
he might be.

Probably the most interesting
one was the Community Center

Boatmen and Calvary brakes at
the Central gymnasium.
The Boatmen won, 81 to 30,
but not until after a real battle.
The score see-sawed throughout
and, as the final count indicates,
victory for one team or the other
was in doubt up to the last
whistle.
Chalkley Shines
There was some spectacular
scoring during the four quarters.
Eaton Chalkley especially shone,
shooting shots that looked almost
impossible.
Dick Kelso was the leading
scorer for the Boatmen. He Gagged
six baskets for IL points. Chalk
ley was next with four baskets
for eight points.
Terneak and Johnson were
the luminarieS for the brakes.
Terneak counted seven times
from the floor and once from
the 15-fOOt mark for Is points.
johnson sank five baskets for
10 points.
Two games are on tap for this
league tonight. The CloverS meet
