book in history, the Government

gress. 1t is bound in parchment,
printed in antique style and is as
fine a piece of the printers art
as the Bible itself.

Capt. John Smith probably
was walking through the woods
with Pocahontas, favorins her
with those charms of manner,
of conversation and personality
which later saved his life, when
he said, "Oh! look ct the
pretty ivy" And before she
could stop him he reached
down and picked a leaf. He
probably wondered at the sill

Indian girl, but he soon found
out the reason because he
wrote about it thus:

Such is the first account we
have of that pest of the Ameri-
can summer woods.
There are several plants OF
the rhus family which cause
poisoning. Poison ivy can be
readily distinguished by the
characteristic three leaved
branch. The leaves are dark
green on the upper surface
and velvety underneath. It
may grow in the form Of a.
vine or in that Of a sort of
bush.
Poison sumac always is in
the form of a bush. Its habi-
tat is in moist or SWampy
ground. The branches have
from seven to thirteen leaflets
on them, with a single one on
the end. The berries, like the
berries of poison ivy, are
cream colored.

THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY sB ] "
How Thatcher Colt Solved
a Spectacular Crime

Ouires was already dead and
suspended from a tlag.pole
support outside Lola's window.
None Of us could have known
that. Where, meanwhile, was
her assassin?
Remember, gentlemen, that
her assassin was still near the
scene, ready to strike again.
And, curiouSly, a letter had
been written warning OF that
impending stroke.
THE reason for the writing
of the letter is one Of the main
clues in this case. At no time
has that ever been out OF my
mind. The same is true OF the
killing of the dog and the par
rot. If there was no logical
reason for those things, if they
we're caprices of the killer,
nevertheless they were impor-
tant because they betrayed a
psychological condition. If we
understand that condition, we
shall then be that much nearer
to the guilty one. The reasons
for the deaths of the dog and
parrot are simple enough-the
murderer was experimenting
with the scorpions to be sure
they could kill.
But what reason could
there be- for the note of warm
ing?
1T must be found in the
twisted brain Of the killer. 1t
betokened a motive that was
deeper and darker than mere
eXpediency. 1t meant malice,
the desire to inflict suffering,
fever, torment, horror-and a
vast egotism that is a concomi
tant of such hatred, an egotism
that will despise safety itself.
Therefore, 1 felt from the be-
ginning that we were dealing
with a crime for revenge"
The doorbell rang. At the
sound of it, Thatcher Colts face
lighted up. It was as if all this
time he had been playing for
time, waiting for the coming of
an important messenger.
1t was indeed a messenger
from Police Headquarters, none
other than Capt. Israel Henry,
the silver-haired guardian of the
commissioners private suite.
The sight of Captain Henry
gave me a premonitory thrill.
If the papers in the officers
hand were so important that
only he could be entrusted with
them, Thatcher Colt must in
deed have a surprise up his
sleeve.
The Envelope
In the gravest silence,
Thatcher Colt received the en-
velope, and broke the seal.
Several papers, including two
rumpled cablegrams and a
photo-more, a telephoto-were
found inside. We all had to
wait while Thatcher Colt read
them through, not once but
three times. Thank you,
Henry" he said, at last. The
police officer was about to leave
when Colts suddenly lifted
glance stayed him. And now,
Henry, will you 60 into that
room there. please, and bring

SWagger coats seem to be
fulfilling all the early prophe-
cies of their success in summer.
Way back in February we
heard about them, both as a
suit coat and as a summer
coat to wear with frocks, and
here they are. They came so
late in the spring that they
had only a moderate success
as suit coats, but now they are
just in time for warm weather.
Some of the new swagger coats
come with dresses, some with
skirts and many alone, so you
can wear them with everything
in your midsummer wardrobe.
They are especially good for
resort wear, as they go with
everything, and are so roomy
that they do not crush the
dress underneath.
White Best Color
White seems to be the favorite
color for immediate wear,
though there are few pastels
seen too. The fabrics are the
fleecy woolens, of the polo cloth
type, and flannels, diagonals,
or other summery wesves. They
swing straight from the should
er to the hem. which is three
quarters or seven-eighths length
and they are cut in many in
teresting ways. First they were
severely simple with raglan
sleeves, but now they have
either drop or raglan shoulders,

CHAPTER XXxxvII

It was a glib story. But, then,
Vincent Rowland was a glib per
sonality. Everything about him
had a polished ring of insin-
cerity. In my own mind 1 could
not decide whether to believe
his explanation or not. Nor
could 1 tell how his account
had registered with Thatcher
Colt. For the police commits
sioner began a machine-gun fire
of croSs-examination that took
the attorney completely by sur
prise. He had not suspected
Colts mastery of the deadly art
Of inquisition.
Had Rowland known any
thing about scorpions? Had he
any fear of Doctor Baldwin?
Did he know a man by the
name of Ricardo Villafranca?
why were you late in start
ing out last night?"
'Late?"
Yes! Christine ana Guy
Everett went to the Lions Paw.
Originally you planned to go
with them. You told us that at
the Mayfair. Why didn't yOu
all go together?"
Il don't know"
Don't quibble. You had that
quarrel here. Chung told us
that. What were you quarrel
ing about?"
Vincent Rowland shrugged his
shoulders.
Trouble Ahead
IT have told you that. I
warned her that she was going
to get herself in trouble. AS a
matter of fact" and here the
old attorney cleared his throat
as if resolved to tell the truth
and shame the devil, "She made
demands on me for a large
loan. I knew it was blackmail,
and I resented it as such"
That makes it look Worse!"
cried Dougherty.
Il had every motive in the
world to kill Lola" agreed Vim
cent Rowland placidly. But
I didn't do it. I had no mo-
tive to kill the others. And I
didn't do that, either
1--WE are not proceeding as di-
rectly as I intended, but we
are obtaining facts, neverthe-
less" observed Thatcher Colt
with a faint smile on his tan
ned face. There remains the
reconstruction of Lola's murder.
II we can do that accurately. I
think the case can be definitely
solved. I mean by that we
shall be able to prove conclu-
Sively the guilt of the killer"
Here his eyes travelled slowly
from Guy Everett back to Vim
cent Rowland.

said, have acknowledged that
circumstances point suspicious
at you. Yet you both very
properly insist that we com.
plete our case before accusing
you.

The score was 80 for w, and
no score for ABB, when 2 made
dealers bid of One-Diamond.
OF course ABB could do nothing,
but a singleton caused Mr.. Read
to overcall with One Spaid. 2
went Two Diamonds; Y bid Two
Spades; z bid Three Diamonds;
entirely misreading his part
ner'S top card strength, Y
jumped into Six No Trumps,
instead of showing his hearts.
Everybody passed and B made
an opening lead of his fourth
best club, from his only suite
OF more than three cards.
A low club was played from
dummy. A could read that Y
held only one card higher than
the S, that was led, and as
that must be the ace, A played
his 7, knowing that would drive
out the ace or hold the trick.
Y had to put up his ace to win
the trick. OF course Y led back
the only diamond he held. He
did not even bother to take the
tlnesse. He put up dummys
ace, then led it back; B won
the trick with his K. Although
the club situation was rendered
perfectly clear to A, on account
OF the rule of eleven" B could
not tell that Y might not hold
the o. of that suit, and have
false carded the ace on the
first lead.
Not liking to lead either
major suit, B led his remain
ing diamond. and z ran off
four diamond tricks. A dis
carded three spades, following
the third round of diamonds
retaining only his Ace. OF
course Y knew that A held the
Ace. Had B held the Ace of
Spades, he would have insured
defeating the contract by lead
ing it, before he led back his
last diamond. It was also
quite clear that B would have
led back his Q. of Clubs, had
he held the missing Q.-J. Y
began to see an opportunity to
make his small slam, provided
A held the Q.-J. of Club. Y
had discarded one spade upon
the second lead of diamonds,
with the light he now had he
let go three more spades and
his lowest club. upon the last
four leads of diamonds.
Having run off the entire
diamond suit, Y led a heart
from dummy, and he proceeded
to run off four heart tricks,
knowing that each opponent
must hold three hearts, or B
would have held a second four
card suit to lead, when he was
in the lead at the third trick.
A followed suit on the first
three rounds of hearts, and
so did B and 2. On the fourth
round of hearts B discarded a
worthless spade, and dummys
only spade was discarded. There
had been one lead of clubs, six
leads of diamonds, and four
leads of hearts-a total of ii
leads. When it came to A to
discard he was squeezed. He
held the lone Ace of spades, and
the o. of clubs. If he let go
his Ace Of spades, VS. K would
win the next trick, and dunn
my's K of clubs must win the
thirteenth trick. If A discarded
one of his two club, rs K-10
would win the last two tricks.
Nobody knew better than A
that he was in a hole. He
merely said: You have me
squeezed" and let go his top
spade. After B led back his
last diamond, instead of card
of one of the other three suits,
all chance to defeat the con-
tract vanished.
