 certainly not" swiftly. Why should you think that?"
 You seem so upset-over cas- ual stranger"
 Elsa looked up swiftly, but she gained nothing from her scrutiny; his rugged features and handsome dark eyes held no expression save of solicitude-for her? Her fingers playing with her handkerchief, grew icy cold.
 But suppose that casual strang- er,' mimicking his tone, had held out hopes to you of eventual re- covery from this touching her Ewheel chair with a gesture pa- ,thetic in its hopelessness; suppose pr. Kane had promised an opera tion which might relieve the pres l sure on my spine-so that might walk again"-her low musical tones barely reached his ears. Then, MT Thorne, put yourself in my place and you will understand the shock his death is to me"
 The detective did not reply inn mediately and she wondered at the cause of his silence. Suddenly Thorne's eyes shifted to the tobacco smoke curling upward from his cig- arctic. Her voice, her words had the ring of truth.
 Bah, he was a fool to be taken by old man WinsloW. It was not his place to search out some mares nest and find an impeachment to the proposed marriage-let Winslow do his own house cleaning.

Chapter 6 POISON

When Elsa Chase burst into tears at the news of Kane's death, Thorne felt decidedly i'll at ease. He had never learned to look with equanim- ity on a woman crying In fact he had met very few women like the girl before him.
 With curious sense of diseom- fort, Thorne admitted to himself that her unusual and elusive beauty was the type to catch and hold the attention of men; it made, there fore, all the more singular the ap- parent dislike that Arnold Wins low had for his adopted sons fi- ancee.
 q am sorry to have brought you bad news" the detective said sim ply. T suppose you had heard something of it; Dr. Kane met his death almost under your window so to speak"
 Elsa's eyes flew open. What is that you say?" she stammered, and her voice had grown hard, unnat- ural. He met his death?"
 He fell out of the upstairs bath room window and was killed.'

 Was his neck broken?" asked Winslow.
 No" was the brief reply.
 "Oh, was it concussion of the brain?"
 No" The surgeon glanced about to make certain they were alone. He was a frequent visitor as well as their family physician, and he and his wife often played bridge in the den, which he knew adjoined Mrs. Winslow's boudoir The door to that room, however, was closed, and again McLane addressed his silent companions, keeping his voice low cred.
 Evidently, Winslow," he went on, "Kane's fall was broken by the branches of the dogwood tree for, while his shoulder was dislocated, and his head and cheek cut and gashed, no injury was serious enough to cause instant death.'
 His hearers sat back and looked at him; Winslow, his face like chalk, was incapable of. speech.
 Well, what then?" questioned Thorne Was his sudden death due to angina pectoris or the rupture of an enurism?" E,
 The surgeon shook his head. ITO neither one" he said simply. We found nothing organically wrong. 7
 "In other words" Thorne spoke slowly, thoughtfully, you imply Dr. Kane did not die from acci- dental injuries, nor from natural causes" He regarded Winslow, who sat hanging on their words, his face study in expressions. Well, Dr. McLane, what killed Kane?"
 The physician glanced cautious fly at the boudoir door to make cer- tain that it was still closed.
 "The exact cause of death I am not prepared to say now" he said, weighing his words carefully; "a further blood test will determine the poison used"
 "Poisonl" Winslow half rose from his chair, then sank back as the hall door was thrown unceremoni- ously open to admit an agitated butler.
 If you please, sir" he stamv mered. Inspector Mitchell and the police are dowstairs!'

 Thorne found Winslow pacing restlessly up an- tswn the den. { T feared you had gone" he ex- claimed Come in and close the door,"
 But Thorne did neither. I'm due at my office, MT. Winslow," he said. You can always reach me there if you care to see me again"
 Winslow looked at him aghast. Whats the matter with you" he exploded. Come in and sit down, !" with more emphasis, and crossing the room he slammed the door. T apologize, Thorne."
 What for?"
 T should nave offered you a re- taining fee. Will five hundred dol lars do?" | The detective drew up a chair and sat down by the desk, then still in silence he gazed about the den.
 He cleared his throat. "I'll accept this check, MT Winslow, on one condition"

Enters Fifth Week

London, Feb o4 fP-Thc five power naval conference entered its fifth week today very much in the doldrums and with the enthusiasm of it's inception now greatly dissi- pated.
 Preparations were begun for re- sumption of actual work Wednesday but the preparations were somewhat indifferent, for unless the French government weathers it's session ir the chamber of deputies tomorrow the forced adjournment of last week may have to be continued indefinite ly.
 There was hope here that M Chautemps, the new French premier should emerge victorious in the chamber and come here with M Briand and Sarraut prepared to plunge right into the conference ne gotiations. There was worry enough even in this prospect; Paris dis patches said there would be no change in the Tardieu naval policy demands of which the other four naval powers considered excessive.
 Jones Ordered Home
 Meanwhile. in addition to their troubles with the conference itself the American delegation is worried considerable over the condition of Rear Admiral Hilary J. Jones. who has been ordered home on the Der engaria Wednesday because of a stomach ailment. While his condition is not described officially as serious it was known his friends are consid- erably perturbed.
 The London press is most pessi- mistic on the future of the confer encc, but Mir. Macdonald. Colonel Stimson and Mir. Wakatsuki arc said still to profess 10 believe that things will proceed speedily soon and the ultimate aim Of limitation eventual ly will be achieved.
 The enforced idlcncss brought on with the collapse of the French gov crnmcnt has been irksomc to the leaders and they are anxious 10 reach some agreement as soon as possible. But it is generally conced- cd nothing can be done without the French: some observers comment, too, nothing can be done with them.'

 The subcommittee on special ships was busy at St. James palace this morning putting finishing touches on it's report. Secretary Stimson, chief of the American dele gation. returned from Stanmore to the American headquarters and there was considerable activity in connection with resumption of the full conference proceedings later in the week.
 The chief delegates were ahead with their conference plans without any apparent slackening of speed and the British official spokesman announced that Prime Minister Mac Donald visited Secretary Stimson yesterday afternoon and remained as an overnight guest at Stanmore.
 Japanese Leader Back
 Former Premier Wakatsuki went to Stratford on-Avon yesterday, but was busy at Japanese headquarters early today. Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy, who returned to Rome for the weekend, started back for Lon don this m orDinp
 The American delegation is being counted on by the Knights of the Round Table club to be in London March 26, when banquet will be given to Amba ssador Dawes and members of the American delega- ton. Sir Trevor Dawson will pre- side. It had been expected that the conference might be over March 15, but the weeks delay caused by the French cabinet crisis in all likeli- hood will keep the delegations here later.

Doors Made at Local
 Plant Used at Airport

Doors designed by the Stanley Works of this city are being install ed on the Interstate Airways hangar today at Brainard Field. Lieut. Herbert Mills, airport manager. has cooperated with the company so that the doors will be given a pra2- tical test at the municipal hangar. In accord with Lieutenant Mills program to have the field appear as neat as possible. the new metal doors will have glass panes in the upper part.
 The doors are mounted on wheels, considerably larger than those usually used. so that with but q so pound pressure necessary for opening and closing them. their operation virtually becomes a ons- man job. Another new feature is the automatic lock device. After the heavy doors are rolled into place it is possible to lower them flush with the floor by a series of wheels and gears inside the building.

 nevertheless, recent most tragic happenings at this university have shaken the confidence of many ot it's sincereSt friends.
