rules on attendance was the only tan
gible item he elected. Nevertheless
in the end, Rankin was satisfied that
Buckley obtained from him the knowl-
edge he needed to enter the chapter
room and approach Jordan.
But this accumulation of incriminat-
ing proof was worthless, he realized, If
Buckley could not have reached the
fraternity house by eight-forty the
night before. He must have arrived

to Lew Kurly, guarding the chamber

for granted Since the boy was ig-
norant of when Buckley deserted him,
the detective must seek that informa-
ton at the club. itself. The doorman
or the waiter who served the two stu
dents could surely supply it.
AS to Buckley himself, Rankin now
decided not to interview him imme-
diately. Instead, he would postpone
that interrogation until he completed
the case against him.
The detective much preferred his
visit to the Morton club to be unoffi-
cial AS an officer, he might encounter
some difficulty in obtaining the re-
quired information; and he hesitated
to resort to his authority to compel
the clubs employees to speak. Where
as, as a guest, introduced by Palmer
who already had an entree. he might
question them casually on one simple
pretext or another. Accordingly, on
concluding his inquiry, he requested
the boy to accompany him to the gam
bling house that night, both to gain
him admission and to point out the
waiter who served him. And Palmer,
on comprehending the need of the visit,
agreed to cooperate with him.
When the detective reached the
central bureau, his first act was TO
dispatch a lengthy telegram to the
authorities Of Aberdeen college. He
asked for verification of Walter Ran
dalrs account of Buckley's expulsion
from that school: also a complete
summary of the incident. such as he
had promised Randall he would Sc

SYNOPSIS

Stricken during initiation into the Mu Beta
Sigma fraternity, Stuart Jordan, university
student, dies almost instantly. Tommy Rankin,
Philadelphia detective, takes charge of the in
vestigation. An injection of poison is shown to
have been the cause of Jordan's death. Rankin
finds all the dead students shoes are marked
with thumbtacks- His only known relative is
his uncle Howard Merrick, St. Louis banker,
also his guardian. II seems possible that some
person, not member Of the fraternity,
present at the initiation. Two students from
the vicinity of Vandalia, ILL.,, Jordan's home
town, Ralph Buckley and Walter Randall fig
ure in the Investigation. A prominent lawyer,
Edward Fletcher. present at the initiation, en-
cages Rankn's attention. Check stubs show
that Jordan had been paying $500 month to
some unknown person. A significant fact dis
covered is that a student Larry Palmer, Mu
Beta Sigma member. was drugged on the night
of the initiation.

Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative

A doctor will tell you that the care
less choice of laxatives is a common
cause of chronic constipation.
Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and even affect the liver
and kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
controlled. 1t forms no habit; you

Mans Right to
Seek Alimony
Might Be Justified Under
Some Circumstances,
Writer Says.

Another angle to the always veU
ing divorce problem is found In this
indignant outburst addressed to a
social economic authority:
"What do you think of woman
having to pay her husband alimony?
A judge out in Omaha has ordered
wife to do this. 1t seems to me If
that goes on. things will come to a
pretty pass. What do you think of
it%
Pointing out possibilities where
such a granting of alimony might be
simple justice, the question is thus
answered:
UNFORTUNATELY we do not know
the circumstances or the details of
the matter to which our reader re-
fers. So we hesitate to think any
thing. We can, however. LET our i'm
agination wander to the reasons for
which alimony is usually paid.
There might, of course. be the
children for whom the husband has
to provide. In that case no right
thinking wife would object to shar-
ing her income with him!
''Of course, there Is always the ar
gument that when a man has given
the best years of his life in marriage
he should be provided for. While
the wage-earner's skills have devel-
oped and increased through the
years, the man who has devoted him.
self entirely to his home cannot now
go back to the occupation of his
youth. How, then, should he live
il not on alimony?
"Then, too. there is the matter of
compensation for the loneliness of
separation after the years of COM
partnership enjoyed by married
man. He has become domesticated
he has lost many of the resources
of his youth as well as the attraction
which so easily brought friends.

lingly offer whatever consolation in
her power in the form of alimOnyf

Buckley's deliberate act on the eve
ming of Jordan's death had two direct
connections with the crime. First, to
insure that at least one fraternity
brother would be absent from the cere-
mony, into whose place he could slip
unnoticed. Otherwise. if there should
be a quorum of 100 per cent. the in
terloper would be speedily discovered.
And he had to secure Palmer's keys, to
enter the house after the ritual began.
OF course. there were still gaps in
the evidence that stamped Buckley a
murderer. Palmer's story failed to
suggest where he might have obtained
the poison for the crime; nor was Ii
likely to explain this point. Of more
direct Importance, Rankin could not
figure out when Buckley might have
had the opportunity to tamper with
his intended victims shoes. to identify
him at the ceremonies. And how had
he learned enough about the fra
ternity's secret ritual to know what
kind of robes the majority of the
