The Mysterious 81 =

"Oh, the work amt so hard.
that amt 1t. we get two an
three afternoons a week off
it's the people around you all
the time. Some nights one of
them has a spell and yells all
night. That usually starts
other ones-and then you feel
like blowing up the whole place.
But it amt always like that.
Otherwise you couldn't stand
it,"
AS Dale had expected, the
rollcall passed without result.
There was not a single inmate
of the asylum that either Of
the girls could point to as the
criminal. 1t was late in the
afternoon when they finished.
Some time previously Dale had
Joined Captain Blake after he
and Ostermann finished their

chief clerk had gone back to
his duties.
Dale had an excellent oppor.
tunity to watch the two girls
as one by one the inmates
were brought past them. Miss
Ryerson was still by far the
more nervous and agitated.
She seemed at all times 20 be
on the verge of Mysteries. This
was probably due to the addi-
tional hardships she had gone
through during almost a week
of Incarceration.
1t seemed strange, neverthe-
less. that she should still be in
such a highly nervous state
now that her status of inno-
cence had been fairly estab-
lished.
The task was practically com.
pleted when an officer entered
and spoke in a low tone to Cap
tain Blake. The message ap-
peared to be of great impor-
tance, Judging from the ex-
preston on Blake's face. When

space of time. At lunchtime it
was suspended and taken up
again at one o'clock.
Dale had not gone to lunch
con with Captain Blake and his
party. Ostermann, who had
taken a great fancy to the re-
porter, invited him to his own
quarters, which were in a small
dwelling near the main build
ings of the institution. Beside
Ostermann. number of the
wardens lived in the smaller
house.
Ostermann had a spacious
room on the ground floor. 1t
was Immediately clean and.
strangely enough. quite home
like. It rather surprised Dale,
and he spoke of it.
We'll, we got little enough
in a place like that, so where
We eat an sleep should be like

Rather a trying life here,
isn't it?"
Sometimes when you hear
them yelling you feel like you
go crazy. too. 1 have some
times to go out on the grounds
and walk around, in the flower
gardens, or on the farm we
have that the ones not so crazy
work on"
Luncheon was brought in by
one of the helpers from the
kitchen. The food was most
satisfactory, both as to quality
and quantity. They chatted as
they ate. Dale, his mind al.
ways running to that groove,
knew there were many inter
esting. odd, grotesque stories in
this little fellow with such a
strange calling. He managed
to get two or three incidents
during the meal which would
fit somewhere into the stories
he wrote for the magazines.
Don't get much recreation
here, do you. Ostermann?" he
said toward the end of the re-
past.

CHAPTER v

Its a fairly clear picture we
have of Mr.. 3-z. pruning it of all
the cabalistic bosh-but where
is the motive for killing two
men, obviously strangers to him
and to each other?"
Find that. Captain Blake,
and the whole case will be a
cut-and-dried affair. Tomorrow
morning you're going through
with that roll call at Kings
Asylum?"
Captain Blake nodded. Dale
shook his head obviously.
IT don't. believe it will bring
any results. I don't think an
insane man wrote those letters.
Your handwriting experts say
they are all written by the
same man; also that the writ
ing is very apparently disguised.
I don't think an insane person
would be as careful about de-
tails as 81 has been. And, yet,
there's an insane something
behind it all!
Another thing you can be
sure Of, captain-your man lives
in the neighborhood Of the
crimes, and yet he doesn't.
That may sound rather silly,
but l mean that he must live
there or he wouldn't know all
the details of the locality.

saying he was in it. OF course,
he wasn't. Then he doesn't live
in the vicinity or he would fear
recognition when he goes on
the streets. Rather a paradox,
but it: should give some food
for thought"
The following morning, while
Mae Ryerson and Belle Walsh
were present at a roll call ,at
Kings Asylum, Robin Dale
slipped into the tiny office OF
William Ostermann. Osternann
was awaiting the reporter and
they were quickly on their way
through the spacious corridors
which were lined with the
rooms of the inmates.
The two made a hurried eX-
animation of the little roam5,
and, while many queer things
were brought to light during
this search, nothing pertaining
to the peter murderer came to
the surface. It was long, labori-

I've had a man on those
houses on Carroll Road. He
just came in to report that
shortly after Mrs. Innes' hus-
band left as usual to go to work
another man entered the
house."
Probably DR.. Leo Hammel."
Il imagine-haven't had any
luck getting hold of him, so I
think we'll drop in on Mrs.
Innes as soon as we finish
here"
The two young ladies were
sent back to their homes in the
police car while Blake and Dale
walked in the direction of Car
roll Road, less than a quarter
of a mile distant.
AS they anticipated, DR.. Leo
Hammel was at the Innes
house. It took quite a bit of
questioning before they arrived
at a point which proved to be
an entirely new and novel
twist to the 81 case. It ap-
peared to prove conclusively
that Mrs. Innes was the woman
referred to in the early letter
written by the mysterious 81.
Her silence in the matter had.
of course, been a matter of self
protection. She had been on
an illicit excursion, and was,
therefore, in no position to
speak.
DR.. Hammel, being in the
same position had been forced
to remain silent. Under the
questioning of Captain Blake
and Robin Dale the truth came
to the surface.
Three days prior to the kill
ing of Anton Kasper these
two, DR.. Hammel and Mrs.
InneS, were seated in one of
the petting spots. A man (Sim-
liar in description to the peter
Killer. had come to the car
and demanded papers Of DR..
Hammell. While Stalling in his
explanations that he had no
papers the doctor started the
car and drove away suddenly,
thereby probably saving his own
life and a third crime.
Further than that they could
tell nothing. But it was an
other link in the chain Of
clues. Still another, a surpris-
ing one, was awaiting Robin
Dale when he returned to the
Daily journal office.

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

Making a solid, substantial
husband out of a great lover is
about as practicable as making
a solid, substantial meal out Of
chiffon salad and a chocolate
sundae: Still, great lovers and
chocolate sundaes have their
charms.
The average man appears to
do his work and earn his living
between the half of his ufe
that he spends in falling in
love" and the half that he
spends in crawling out Of it.
There are only four cures for
love-time, marriage, hard work
and another love. And the
quickest and surest of these is
the last.
There are moments when the
wife of an attractive man feels
that it would be easier to have
some woman steal her husband
than to have a lot of them con
tinually borrowing" him and
returning him like a library
book.
There are pet dogs who follow
every friendly whistle and mea
who respond to every woman's
come-hither glance. The price
of their fidelity is eternal vigi-
lance. But. is it worth the
price?
Wedding presents no longer
have to be "solid"-just lightly
plated and guaranteed to last
for a few seasons.
Funny! A girl MAY succeed
in convincing a man that she
doesn't love him-but never in
convincing him that she doesn't
enjoy his love-making.
A friend is most entertaining
when he is lively and witty--a
lover when he is deadly serious.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I like a young man very
much. But he is odd and diff.
ferent, and 1 don't always
know how to take him. l
have been out with him several
times, but he has never met
my people. Does that explain
his manner to me? Should /
invite him to my home to din
ner or lunch? WORRIED.
1t would be impossible for me
to guess, my dear, why the
young man you speak Of Is not
more companionable. But since
you like him and wish to know
him better, there could be no
objection to your inviting him
to your home for dinner. Mean
while, my dear, do not make
the mistake Of thinking about
him too much. Accept invita-
tions from other young men,
and do not limit your interest
to one whom you know only
slightly and who may not be
equally interested in you. This
is much too common mistake.

.ST 0RM PHRASE
REASON TOLD

When the words possibly Sc
we're local storms" appear in the
weather forecast, they may con-
ceal the apprehension on the part
Of the Weather Bureau that
tornadoes are brewing.
The forecaSterS usually use
such a phrase to give some meas
ure of warning to neighbOrhcods
likely to be visited by tornado,
but they won't become more defi-
mite.
The reason, according to the
bureau, is that, while generally it
knows that wind storms are CON-
ing up in given area, the knoWi.
edge of exact location is so vague
that necessarily a large section
must be, included in the warning.
