"You know who | mean"

''You know who l mean"
We tried to assure him that we
were rot, in a sense, seeking to in
volve him in the situation, and I
even went so far as to state our
position, briefly:
"I'd better explain, Hawkins
We are not doing police work. But,
owing to a chain Of circumstances
we have learned that Mr.. Wells
did not kill himself. He was MUIR
dered, or at least shot, by some
one else. 1t may not have been de-
libcrate. Owing to what we have
learned, certain people are under
suspicion. We want to clear things
up for our own satisfaction"
Then why is some one taktn.
down what say in the mex
room?"
He could only have guessed it
but he saw that he was right BY
our faces. He smiled bitterly. "Gc
on" he said. Take it down. 1
can't hurt anybody. l don't know
who did it, and that's Gods truth.
And, after long wrangling, tha
was as far as we got.
He suspected who had done it
but he did not know. He absolutely
refused to surrender the letters ir
his possession, and sense of deli.
cacy, | think, kept Us all from
pressing the question of the A 81
matter.
That's a personal affair."" he
said. 1--WE had good bit of trouble
I'm thinking now of going back tc
England"
And, as l say, we did not insist.
When he had gone, there seemed
to be nothing to say. He had left
the same impression on all OF US, !
think-of trouble, but not of crime
Of man fairly driven; Of wretch
edness that was almost despair. He
still had the letters. He had, after
all, as much right to them as we
had, which was, actually, no right
at all. And, whatever it was, he
still had his secret.
Herbert was almost childishly
crestfallen. Spcrry's attitude was
more philosophical.
"a woman. of course" he said
"The A 81 letter shows it. IIe tried
to get her back, perhaps, by hold
ing the letters over her head. And
it hasn't worked out Poor devil
Only-who is the woman?"
1t was that night, the fifteenth
day after the crime, that the solu.
ton came. Came, as a matter o1
fact, to my door,
I was in the library, reading, OF
trying to read, a rather abstrust
book on psychic phenomena. M,
wife, l recall, had just asked me tt
change a banjo record for "Th'
End of a Pleasant Day." when the
bell rang.
In our modest establishment thu
maids retire early and it is my Gus
tom. on those rare occasions wher
the bell rings after nine o'clock
to answer the door myself.
To my surprise, it was Sperry
accompanied by two ladies, one O
them heavily veiled. 1t was no
until I had ushered them into tht
reception room and lighted the ga
that I saw who they were. 1t wa.
Elinor Wells, in deep mourning
and Clara. Mrs. Danes companion
and secretary.
While I am quite sure that I wa:
not thinking clearly at the opening
of the interview, I know that
was puzzled at the presence of Mrs
Danes secretary, but I doubtless
accepted it as having some connec-
ton with Clara's notes. And Sperry
made no comment on her at all. ?

HOOVER, CURTIS
MAP PLANS

AS the last echoes of the shout
ing in Chicago subsidized today,
the team of Herbert Hoover and
Charles Curtis began active prepa-
rations for the campaign.
All indications were that Presi-
dent Hoover will direct his cam
paign principally from the White
House sNld from his summer camp
at Rapidan. Mr.. Hoover will
play close to his home base, de-
pending upon the press, the radio,
and his Spokesmen to carry pes
thence and fire" into the ranks OF
the Democrats.
The burden of the campaign
afar from Washington probably
will fall upon Curtis, seasoned
campaigner and stump speaker.
President Hoover, however, will
have number of important
speeches to make. The first of
these is expected to be his ac-
ceptance speech, with which he
will outline his views on the plat
form as adopted by the Repub-
lican convention.

yesterday. when Charlie came
through.
It looked too much like a
burlesque show, with Abe Lincoln
in burnt cork, or a carnival at a
wake.
The boys up on the speakers
platform sort of seemed like
gold-brick men, laughing at the
suckers.
Away out there among the
delegates, a little gal from
Michigan jumped up to cast her
States votes.
John BarleycOrn ExiIed
She was waving a red pennant
that matched the trimming on
her dress and hat. You could
tell from her voice that she was
proud. But all around her the
gloom, the lethargy. hung thick.
The bosses were sweeping up
the cigar stubs and empty bottles
after old John Barleycorn's three
day spree.
The Administration had kicked
Mr.. Barleycorn off its doorstep
and that was all that mattered.
The presidential candidates
can now go out and say they
never knew him. He was a friend
of a couple of unknown Congress-
men.
Even the steam-roller did not
perform as a beautiful piece of
machinery. Not at any time
during the convention. Wasn't
even repainted or oiled. And the
way it squeaked at that last ses.
sion kind of gave me the creeps.
France Gets Buns Rush
The old machine absolutely
groaned when Joseph I. France,
of Maryland, was given the bum S
rush as he started to speak. One
of the delegates who forgot his
orders made the mistake of
nominating that Maryland wet
for President. And that's just
why the steam-roller was all
cranked up.
Senator France ought not have
reached the platform. But he
did and Bert Smell had to call

Difference to prevailing financial

makers broke up the annual
Quartz Arts ball at breakfast

Known the world over as the
nudest of all carnivals of this
kind, the ball set a new record
for lack of attire this year,
many guests realizing it would
be cheaper to wear nothing
than to fashion costumes re-
vealing only the usual amount

The ball was held for the first

Happy and grateful-those were

while, but she was equal to it.
And as one watched her, sitting
in her box with a pugnacious chin

piled up for Curtis, one knew it

Everyone was interested in how
she felt about things, a lot more
interested since she put on her
remarkable exhibition of loyalty
here. 1t was Dolly Curtis Gam
who rounded up the delegates for
her brother when they hesitated,
distracted by reports that Curtis
was too old for the job and too
dry.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
who was supposed to have urged
her own half-brother, Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., for the job, did
not draw as many eyes during the
convention as Dolly.
