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 thumbtaclks. His only known relative Ia
his uncle. Howard Merrick, St. Louis banker,
also his guardian. II seems possible that some
person, not a member Of the fraternity, was
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 Ranlxin's attention. Check stubs show
that Jordan had been paying $500 month to
some unknown person. A significant fact dis
covered is that student, Larry Palmer, Mu
Beta Sigma member. was drugged on the night
of the initiation and his keys, including key
of the fraternity house, stolen from him.
Ralph Buckley had been Palmer's companion
of the evening.

Joan Needs No Glycerine
Drops TO Simulate T

In the sad business of weeping be-
fore the camera Joan Blondell has
it all over her more sober sisters
of the cinema. They resort to glycer-
inc drops, singing lotions for the
eyes and even, at times, to the low
ly onion to generate their screen tears.
All except Miss Blondell.
Joan will use none of these subter-
fuges. When the time comes for her
to cry in picture she just cries, and
the glycerine bottle, the camphor
spray and the restaurant onion are
never called upon to double for real
emotion.

And just how soon, Mr.. Merrick, would
Stuart have become twenty-five"
I'm less than two months. His birth
day, | believe, Is in May-the sixth"
"Who gets the estate now that the
boy died before attaining the age of
twenty-two?"
OBVIOUSLY his heirs" Mr.. Merrfck
pointed out. His death makes his
ownership absolute; since he can no
longer misbehave, it removes the sin
gle contingency by which he might
lose it. Therefore, it passes to his
heirs-at-law, or if he has also made
a will, to the beneficiaries named in it."
The detectives eyes narrowed and
he spoke in even deliberate tones.
"And you are the heir-at-law, Mr.
Merrick? If, as you say, he had no
other relatives?'
Eyes, as it happens, I am Stuart's
nearest of kim" The admission was
casual. st is rather unlikely that at
his age, ne made will disposing of
it elsewhere"
"Have you any connection with the
fraternity your nephew was about to
john"
If the guardian discerned the trend
of Rankin's speculations, he gave no
sign Of perturbation.
mo, Mr.. Rankin, nor any other fra
ternity," he responded coolly. I'm my
college days at the State university
in Iowa, was never affiliated with
one. But then they were not so prev
alent as today"
"Are you acquainted with a physi-
clan named Arnold Prince?" Rankin
asked.
Mr. Merrick knit his brows in con-
centration. "Dr. Arnold Prince? No,
I have never heard of him. Who
is he?"
"a member of Mu Beta Sigma from
the chapter at Hawthorne university
at Fort Wayne. He seems to have
known something of Stuart. The
chapter here informs me that he noti-
fed it of his presence at Philadelphia !;
as loyal alumnus. he recommended
Stuart as prospective candidate.
hoped you could tell me where he
gained his knowledge;I thought per-
haps he was friend of your family"
The bankers features frightened,
as at sudden recollection. He
nodded.
"What you've just said reminds me
that | did meet Doctor Prince once;
that might explain the source of his
information. He is a st. Louis man,
isn't he? He called at my bank some
time ago. purely on matter of bust
ness; he requested to see me per.
sonally about loan he hoped to float
through us. The venture must have
fallen through, for after that interview
heard nothing further of it and he
never called again. However, during
our conversation, he happened to
mention that he had attended Haw-
thorne; and naturally, l told him

Philadelphia. l met him only that
once; and that meeting was wholly
fortuitous.'

replied. "The early fall, somewhere

the table at the proprietor, There
might be serious trouble" he OBJ
served. "You ought to step in and
see what it's about, Gussie. Better
not let it go too far"
"It's Carl Walton in there with some
body" Morton grow1ed; he rose, his
face red with displeasure.
AS he left the room, the detective
felt Larry Palmer's hand grasp his
arm. The boys eyes blazed in coun-
tenance gone suddenly as white as
chalk.
''Mr. Rankin" he whispered hoarse-
ly, "that second fellow the one
this chap is threatening. It's
Ned-Ned Patterson"
Rankin was as startled as the boy.
Patterson? Are you sure of that?
he demanded.
"Yes, recognize his voice." Palmer
answered tensely.
\ In an instant, Rankin had followed
the proprietor into the adjoining
chamber, Palmer at his heels. The
boys perception had been accurate. A
chair was upset and in blue haze
of cigarette smoke, Jordan's sponsor
stood stiffly behind it, as though on
guard, his dark sallow features half
defiant and half alarmed. His weak
chin quivered slightly.
At the sight of Rankin, Walton in
terrupted the lecture Morton had be-
gun about his behavior; his ire changed
into annoyance Patterson looked
chagrined as Palmer entered after.
The detective greeted the gambler
with serenity his intimates would
have recognized as ominous and de-
ceptive.
j.'How are you, Carl? We have mu-
tual friends, it seems; I also happen
to know Mr.. Patterson. And l hardly

"Only -. little-about fifty-five

lenly, as If he relished the Interior

And every cent won honestly, RAN

"Oh, 1 wasn't going to hurt him,

THREE OAKS, Mich, Sept. 81
Fifty-three years ago Mrs. Joseph
Lee was too poor to pay a doc
tor when her son was born, and
as result made promise to
help other newborn babies.
Today she was an international
reputation as the bonnet lady
as result of her hobby, and three
scrap books are filled with &C
acknowledgements from the great
the humble and the famous.
Since her son, Frank, was born
many thousands of yards of yarn
have raced through Mrs. Lees deft
fingers in the making of her dain-
ty baby bonnets.
She's Made Several Hundred"
Long ago Mrs. Lee lost count
of the number of hoods she has
crocheted and sent to the parents,
but she says there are several
hundred"
She has three scrap books filled
with letters and photographs from
royalty, movie actors, statesmen
and other famous persons acknoW-
lodging the gifts Last letter in
the book is from Senator and
Mrs. Robert La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, who had not yet named their
son when the hood was received.
When Mrs. Lee was telling about
her hobby she was busily engaged
in crocheting a tiny yarn hood
for the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bing
Crosby, of grooming fame.
Letters From Everywhere
Letters have come from Mrs.
Harold Lloyd, of the movies; Arch
duke Stefan of Hapsburg, and
