Jack loves Elsa Chase, beautiful crippled girs, whom Dr. Kane was to have examin- cd. The elder Winslow, believing her an adventures, had en- gagged G. ThOrne, detective, to probe her past.

Chapter l8 THEORIES

The city was astr when Tnorna finally drove up to his office build ing in Connecticut Avenue and en- tered it, to find Inspector Mitchell pacing impatiently up and down the corridor before the closed doors of the Universal Detective Agency.
 Where do you stand on this -Winslow affair, Thorne?" he asked. Are you with us or are you playing lone hand?"
 Thorne eyed the inspector care- fully up a tree?n and as Mitchell flushed, he added: Come, if we are to be allies, let's have frank ness"
 You are right admitted the inspector. ITO tell the truth Tnorne, l can't afford to pull bone. To arrest young Winslow without suf- flcient evidence to hold him, well, old Winslow has lot of influence politically. and my goose would be cooked He's employed you hasn't he, to look after young Jacks in- terests?"
 If you put it that way, he has
 And not to find out who mur- dered Kane?"
 He doesn't believe the two are synonymous" Thorne met Mitchell's suspicious glance with unmoved countenance, T feel at liberty to in- yestigate Kane's murder"
 "Gocd!" Mitchell hit h d his chair closer. I'm coming to you on my own responsibility, Thorne; understand that; the department has nothing to do with it"
 Thorne nodded You've been tc me before-on the same terms
 Sure; you play straight, and damn it, you've got brains!"

"A clinching piece of evidence Thorne and against young Jack, Inspector Mitchell spoke with in- creasing rapidity as his excitement mounted Figure it out for your self, man; here's Jack, who prob ably borrowed heavily at one time or another from Kane while he was in college. Kane doesn't need the money until his investments go fluey; then he tried to collect; got a thousand out of him, and came down to get the rest"
 But any debt contracted while Jack was at Harvard would be Ioutlawed by this time objected Thorne.
 Mitchell thrust out his jaw ob- stinately. Possibly he knew some thing discreditable to Jack-some college scrape," he pointed out.
 Well, admitting that, what then?"
 We know Jack had no money, for he was overdrawn at his bank i; he may have been even deeper in debt he pointed out; perhaps he was desperate and resorting to desperate remedies, plotted to kill Kane with the use of this deadly gas which, as you know is practi- cally odorless and leaves no trace, If it hadn't been for Dr. McLane's Cleverness in noting the condition of the body. the crime would never have been detected, for If the body had been embalmed no trace Of the poison would have been found
 "Your theory presupposes one thing" Thorne argued slowly; that Jack had previous knowledge of Kane's visit"
 But he did know 1t" trium- phantly. Lambert told me he took the telegram announcing Kane's ar rival over the telephone two days before"
 In silence Thorne sat back in his chair and contemplated Mitchell; he wanted time to think. Taking up his neglected pipe, he drew out a box of matches and struck one; it went out promptly and as he again held the match box up to strike an-
 ! IL blue tops on the matches; swiftly his eye travelled to the three match es lying in Kanes billfolder = they were identical in size, with the same red tip and blue top as those in the match box which Elsa Chase had taken out of her bag and given him the night before.

In Chicago, where they have
the best traffic control in the

limit on boulevard that has aided
to great degrees the congestion.
Another thing that has made Chi

In the newspapers almost daily
J. cannot see how the view that

Aviation requires skill. expert

not believe one man out of 20

be even higher than that. To
permit anyone who possesses the
money with which to buy a
ship, to 60 up in the air after
he has passed q few elementary
tests will certainly be one way
IN which we can rapidly increase

Colonel Lindbergh's theory that
aviation can W made q popular

would be all right If we could
exclude the human element from

we are not all Lindberghs. There

Would 1t be possible to increase
the speed Of traffic on Washing
ton streets? believe that an in
crease to speeds Of 35 and 40
miles an hour would do much to
eliminate jammed traffic condi'
tionS here.
Traffic lights have been in
stalled here in many sections OF
the, city, but apparently are OF
little use in the control Of travel.
I think this is due to the fact that
the speed limit is kept so low that
the lights are not effective.
A workable speed limit would
not add to the danger that pedes.
trians are now subjected to. I be-
lieve that speed should be gov.
erned by conditions and there are
certain sections of the city that
could stand to have the limit in
creased.
