HOLSTER, Matthew's father, had
built up what was considered a
fortune in his day. Mrs. HOLSTER
died before her husband and the
money was left to Melvina and Mat
thew with the stipulation that 1t
was not to be divided and. so long
as Melvina lived. she was to say
how the money should be used.
Beyond that, Bob Whitaker had
little to offer except one comment.
II wasn't as surprised as everyone
else seems to have been when they
found her dead" he said. MEL.
vina Hollister was Tartar"
What do you mean?"
"She had the meanest disposition
and the sharpest tongue OF any
woman I ever met. I don't see how
her brother stood 1t all those years.

way she did"
He seems meek enough"
"Oh. sure! How do you think
he'd ever have lived with Melyina
if he wasn't? II he'd only admit II
I'll bet he's glad to be able to call
his soul his own"
THE interview had not been alto
= gether satisfactory. 1t was near
lunch time and Bannister left the
newspaper office. walking toward
| his favorite restaurant. AS he
neared the street intersection
large blue sedan halted at the
other side Of the street. A man
stepped out of the car and Bannis-
ter caught a glimpse OF the girl
who was driving. She wore a brown
hat and a dark red suit. Almost
Immediately the car was on its way
again.
Banrister called. "Oh, Coleman!"
and hurried forward.
Parker Coleman said. Hello!
Haven't seen you in a long while"
You're just the man want TO

about coming to lunch with me-"
Glad to-"
They strolled on to the restau.
rant, found a table and ordered.
Coleman lighted cigaret and
asked negligently. What's on your
mind"
Bannister's eyes were eager. Il
don't know" he said. I'M not
quite sure. Do you remember the
night we found AL Drugan's car
wrecked that we had been talking
about Meivina Hollister?'
NO." Coleman said u don't be-

we were at dinner l told you I'd

the DOCKS told me what 1t would
cost. l guess there's a lot OF things
that take money, though, that they
don't figure in. And then may

PANNISTER was thinking rapid

do it in royal style for that"
We'll. l want to do 1t up right"
HOLSTER assured him. They say
there's a swimming pool on this
boat and they dance every night"
He went on. recounting the lux
uries outlined by the steamship
folder, and asking more questions.
Bannister left him when they
reached the street corner and went
on alone.
So Matthew Holiister was plan

money by the thousand. of going

since his sister had been murdered
Bannister remembered Mrs. Har

quite a fortune now. Probably
around S150.000. l wonder what
he'll do with all that money"
Ten days before Matthew Hol

topcoat and a shapeless gray hat

the beer as a rare indulgence be

President s Order Relating to Newly
 Mined Gold, Boon

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 18,- The bituminous coal code which will bring shorter hours and high CT wages to hundreds of thousands of miners will be submitted to the President today for signature.
 The bituminous coal code was delayed in presentation to the President because of the necessity of completing code enforcement machinery.
 The majority of coal operators are said to have signed the code and the Recovery administration IS rather jubilant They claim that their biggest stumbling block in the recovery program has been removed by the agreement to the coal code and the disordered sit uation in Pennsylvania will be quieted down and shootings and strikes ended.
 The administration is expected to turn next to the retailers code and this is believed will bring up many new problems as the in terests of the large employers and small employers VII ihave to be reconciled. It has been pointed out that many of the retailers are already operating under a blanket code.
