CHAPTER VI


Robin Dale did not unfold his
plan until the following morn
ing. In his own mind he was
certain who was guilty. But it
required proof, irrefutable proof.
He sat UP most Of the night in
his tiny stateroom, striving to
hit upon the right plan Of ac-
ton. Every one that came to
him was q hazard. IF the one
he tried went wrong all chance
Of ever cornering the criminal
would go with it.
Dale's entire case was hypo-
thetical. He had fitted the facts
together, one by one, and ar.
rived at the solution. But rea.
soning was not proof the
meager circumstantial evidence
hardly strong enough to convict
the murderer.
There's a chance. that we'll
be able to pull out of this to
day, Captain Hawley," Dale ex,

About an hour had passed
when there was a knock at the
door. Dale signaled Captain
Hawley with a glance and the
two men excused themselves
and went to the door.
Quirk was outside. To Dale's
unSpoken question he nodded
his head. The two men fol-
lowed Quirk out and closed the
door. They were in "a small
anteroom Of the captains

You found it, Quirk?"
Quirk nodded again and
drew a sheaf of banknotes
from his pocket. He laid them
on q small table.

The Brides Veil
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
At a wedding reception, when
the wedding guests are many
and formally dressed, is 1t
proper for the bride to remove
her veil or to keep it on
throughout the whole evening?
MARY ANN.
The bride wears her wedding
veil during the reception and
until she goes to change her
bridal finery for her travelling
costume. The hour Of her glory
Is very short, and she should
make the most Of it by wearing
her bridal ensemble. And there
