. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

At this stage of the inquiry
It did look to me as If the mys-
terry were unsolvable. Here was
a body dreached to the skin.
Eigor mortis had set in-Chris-
tine had been dead for hours;
she had been dead while Lola
was still alive.
What could have happened?
There was not time, even to
theorize, so busy were we all
with the simple and CHASTITY
routine. But at last the police
ritual Of homicide was COM
plete.
Merkle, the camera man, and
Williams, the finger-print ex-
pert, having finished their min
istrations over the second body
that evening, fastened off to
Headquarters, for instant de.
velopment of their prints and
plates. The Assistant Medical
Examiner was left with Colt,
Dougherty, Flynn, and myself.
Thatcher Colt confronted Doc
tor Multooler with sombre air.
"Well, doctor-this also looks
like heart trouble?"
Multooler rubbed the red
front of his nose with a pudgy
forefinger.
GAS a matter of fact, Mr..
Colt, it would look like heart
trouble-shows all the symptoms
Just like the other one did-ex-
cept for one thing"
"What'S that?" barked Dough
wrty.
The Medical Examiners eyes
were fixed in a deeply signltl-
cant stare on Thatcher Colt.
The Finger Marks
"rd like to show you some.
thing" he said, in nasal and
sepulchrally meaningful voice:
without a word, we followed
Doctor Multooler to the bed
side where lay the body OF
Christine. Lifting the head in
the palm of one hand, Doctor
Multooler pointed with the fin
gers of the other to the nape
of the neck.
"See those marks!"
r@ We did see them. They were
r. unmistakable on the dead
young flesh-welts that Scared
the white skin, long, fang-like
.streaks and blue, bruised de.
pressions. confess shivered
at the sight of these marks on
the neck and throat and under
the chin Of Christine. Had the
marks been made by human
fingers? Multooler believed not.
But he had no alternative to
suggest. After many years at
his gruesome task, he could not
think what object or what crea-
ture could have inflicted those
monstrous marks.
AS we drew back, puzzled and
q. disconnected, DR.. Multooler
added:
"You will want to know, Mr..
Colt, that these marks were put
on her throat-after death!
Colt turned suddenly back to
look incredulously into the eyes
of the assistant medical exam
iner. I could see that Null
-tooler's announcement seemed
to Colt of the most extraordl-
nary Importance. Baffled for
a moment, the commissioner
seemed suddenly to catch a
gleam Of light. Something was
revolving in his mind; what
Multooler had said gave him a
clue and filled him with that
intellectual excitement which is
emotion raised to its most dan
gerous power.
But at the time I could not
see the clue, nor guess what 1t
was that had so moved
Thatcher Colt. He walked
slowly back to the bed and
bending down close to the neck
he stared long and thoughtfully
at those fantastic streaks and
blotches.

The Turning Tide

Inc turning T1de
There is enchantment in the
turning tide,
When sudden silence lies on
land and sea
AS crash and boom of mounting
waves SubSide.
There is an instant like etern-
ity
Between the mighty pounding
on the shore
Where giant waves dash in,
unhindered, free,
And the reluctant, muffled,
Sullen roar
With which they turn unto
the deep again,
Withdrawn by leash invisible
once more.
There comes a pause in
oceans vast refrain.
And on the air q stiffness far
and wide,
AS though in Nature every
force must wane.
There is strange magic in the
turning tide,
That instant when it seems the
world has died!

By MRS. BEECKMAN
IntrOductiOns

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. When one wishes to pre-
sent a man friend to a relative
for example, to an aunt-Should
one say, "Aunt Mary, may I in
troduce Mr.. BROWNE" or Mrs.
Smith, may I introduce Mr..
BROWNE"
2. In introducing a man friend
to anothe-: man, whose name
should be mentioned first?
3. When introducing a man to
a man and his wife, should the
lady be introduced first?
D. M. C.
/. The first form Is correct.
2. It makes no difference.
Mention either name first.
8. Yes. First introduce the
man to the wife, and then to
the husband.

A slight line of demarka-
ton marks the formal evening
costume from the informal one.
A smart informal costume is
a frock of black satin with
bishop sleeves pailetted in black
jet. With it is worn a short
sleeved collarless ernine jacket
and an evening hat Of the satin.
The rare moment Of perfec-
ton is perfectly expressed in a
glorious all-white costume. The
evening frock has high-waisted
accordion-pleated skirt of white
georgette and a plain bodice of
silver lame with a square decol-
lette. It is worn with a straight
line srmipe jacket Of hin length.

How Would You Bid?

Whether employed as a fore
ing bid or as a semi-forcing
bid, z should make an open
ing bid of Two Clubs, to which
Y must respond with Two
Spades. Y should not force;
the official opening bid Of two
promises another bid of its
maker; the forcing bid of two
always promises further bid
ding.
Y should shift to Five
Hearts to show his two honors
of that suit, and his great
side strength and ability to
ruff clubs. To announce that
he has bid a short and power
full heart suit, with an estab-
lished club suit (as he thinks),
and diamonds stopped, z must
next shift to Five No Trumps.
If Y goes Six Spades, z should
bid either Seven Hearts or
Six No Trumps. If Y decides
to increase rs bid of Five No
TrumpS, either by going Six
No Trumps or by bidding Six
Hearts, z should let the bid
alone. Grand Slams are uncer-
tain at best. OF course Seven
Hearts can be made, although
no pair bid that. Six-odd also
can be made at either clubs
or spades, and both those dec
larationS were made. One pair
bid and made Seven No
TrumpS, because B discarded q
spade.
It is, a singular fact, and
one indicating the general un.
familiarity of players, even
very highly trained ones, with
squeeze principles, that no
comment has been made by
any player upon the fact that
the hands of both Y and z
can readily make a grand slam
at no-trumps by means of a
squeeze.
Regardless of what the open
ing lead may be at notrumps,
and without regard to whether
Y or z bids the 7-No TrumpS,
a grand slam is certain, if
played as indicated here.
Win three club tricks; both A
and B can follow suit through
out; Y must discard his three
lowest spades, run off four
heart tricks, have Y discard
his lowest diamond upon the
fourth trick. A also will let
go his lowest diamond upon
the last heart trick, saving his
high club to prevent z from
winning more club tricks. B
will follow suit upon the first
three leads of hearts, but what
will he discard upon the fourth
heart lead? If he discardS q
spade, all four e1 Y's spades
will become good, and z can
discard upon them his three
losing clubs and his one los.
ing diamond. II B saves his
four spades and discards his
lowest diamond upon the fourth
heart lead. the grand slam is
also assured. Y will win one
diamond trick with his K; he
will take three spade tricks,
upon which z will discard his
three lowest clubs; then rs
A-10 of diamonds will win the
twelfth and thirteenth tricks
by picking up BIS lone @ Of
diamonds. In no way can a
grand slam at no-trumpS be
avoided.

NEW YORK October 3l-The Eco

nounced that 1t was opposed to a pro-
posal to force all commercial banks to
operate under Federal charter.
Improvement in banking conditions,
the report states, can be attained with

charters which, in the banking field,
stands as just as great defense against
undue central government control over
the financial liberties of our people as
the dual system of State and Federal
governmental jurisdiction represents in
respect to their political liberties.
1T is the theory Of proposals for uni

the country as a whole under Federal
Government supervision would make
for better supervision, more compact
and better co-ordinated banking struc-
ture, a nationally higher standard OF
management for all banks and credit

BOB OLIN POINTED FOR KNOCKOUT
 OVER STATE CHAMP

New Haven, Aug 24.-Boasts from the training quarters of Al Gainer, local negro fighting ace, to the effect that he is hoping to hand Bob Olin, New York Hebrew mitt slinger, his first knockout when the two meet in the main bout of the fight show att he White City Sta- dium Friday night, have disturbed the New Yorker and his handlers to no end.
 Henry Scadron, the Jewish puncher's manager said yesterday that Olin is working like q young Trojan preparing himself for the meeting he further contends that his man will be in fine trim when he steps into the ring to do battle with Gainer in the rubber match"
 The New York Hebrew favorite is working out daily at Stillman's gym in Gotham under the direction of Whitey Bimstein and Ray Arcel, considered by men wise in the ways of boxing to be the best condition CTS of fighters in the country today.
 Third Bout
 Olin, a winner over Gainer by a wide margin in one of the two bouts in which the pair met last summer, is out to make it two out of three and according to handlers, he won't be satisfied with a straight, matter of fact victory. He has his guns pointed on a knock out.
 There is a great possibility that the New Yorker might do just that trick, for he is one of the hardest hitting ring men ever to show his wares in this section in some time. Aside from that he is extremely popular with the fight fans here. having given more than one good account of himself.

CITY YARDS NINE SM0THERED BY BILL
 .BARTH'S SMOKE

People in the vicinity of Hamil- ton parks half mile oval last even ing who thought the Crosby high school track team was having a workout, later learned that all those men running around in a circle were Firemen,j members of Captain Joe Kelly's baseball team which beat Frank Cassin's City Yards outfit so badly that the democratic plurality in the fourth ward is seriously effected. Due to the typical generosity of the fire laddies, the official score was an- nounced as to 1, which would in dicate a close contest, but it was just as close as Marblehead, Mass, to Mars.
 After the first IS hits had been scored off Gooney O'Loughlin, his control became better and the Fire men only hit safely IA times in the next -four innings. Charley De- laney's home run with five on base, (three runners and two coaches) was the batting feature while Capt Kelly's base-stealing was something to write to Connie Mack about. In- cidentally, that's the first time Q fireman, ever stole anything but sleep, according to veteran base ball observer present.
 Bill Earth pitched for the Fire men and did right we'll with the city slickers. So we'll in fact that the only noise along Benedict street this morning was made by Cy O'Donnelis Quassapaug sweater.
