the Sergeant glancing around
the room.
IT don't know. I just came
home. She was dangling there
from the chandelier, hang
ing from that yellow silk cord
which belongs on her dress.
I cut her down"
Now the Sergeant perceived
that one end of a slender rope
was attached to the main chan
delier in the center of the room
and that an overturned chair
was directly underneath it.
Suicide" he murmured.
Just then there came the
sharp sound of grinding brakes
in the drive outside, the slam
Of a door, and a moment later,
DR.. Henry Warner, minus q
hat, and with his black bag
in his hand, came daShing up
the steps.
He stopped in the open door
way and gave an involuntary
gasp as his eyes took in the
scene.
"It's Sunny" explained Ranny
Paige. "Oh, doctor, she isn't
dead, is she?"
DR.. Warner bent over and
touched the lifeleSS hand for a
moment. Then he laid his ear
against the girls breast.
"She's quite dead, Ranny,"
he said gently. '"fhere is Moth
ing that we can do. What
happened?"
One Of the officers explained
briefly.
"Oh, who could have done
this terrible thing?" moaned
Paige. Everybody liked Sunny.
Who would have murdered
her?"
Have q look around on the
first floor, will you?" said the
Sergeant in a low voice to one
Of his men. BE careful, too."

neck. The Jewel glowed in the
soft light Of the boudoir.
"Guess you're right, Doctor.
No burglar ever missed this.
It seems to be q suicide right
enough"
"Iu break the news to
Ranny," repeated the doctor.
poor boy! He seems to think
his wife was murdered-thiS
will be a doubly hard blow
when he learns she did it her
self"
"Go ahead down." said the
Sergeant. "1u have to make
out a report and send word to
the Coroner. AS soon as you've
finished with Paige, I want to
talk to him, find out just what
he knows about this. Give us
q whistle when you are
through with him, and mean
time Wen have a look around
up here. Maybe she left a
note or something"
DR.. Warner nodded In as
sent and ran lightly down the
stairs to the library, where
Ranny Paige, his head buried
in his hands, was awaiting
him.
That was the way the Paige
mystery started, on the fifth day
Of October-a mystery so hor-
ribl" so amazing in its intri-
c. so startling in its denoue-
M that it has gone down in
the history Of Maryland crimi-
nology as The Great Paige Case.

Coming instantly, sir" an
swered the sergeant, as the
omnious significance Of the
words sank in. Keep your head
and Well be there in 10 min
uteS.
. "Riely," he shouted to a doz-
ing patrolman. "Ranny Pa1ge's
wife is dead! Phone DR.. Henry
Warner here in TowSon and tell
him to come as quickly as pos
Sible.
"Biggs and you, Henderson,"
to a couple of policemen who
were standing dumb with sur
prise, "come with me. B1ggs,
you can drive and step on the
gaS!"
A minute later the Sergeant
and his two assistants were
flashing up the TowSon State
4OdU d11O ~ 111AAAAOO0 A~VS1 O~~OV
were running up the box-lned
walk to the Paige house.
Ranny Paige, as white as a
ghost, was standing in the
open hall door.
THANK God, you're here"
he cried. "This is terrible!
Come upstairs"
Without asking any questions,
the three police officers fol-
lowed him to the second floor
and into a tiny room at the
front.
Stretched out on q chaise-
lounge was the body Of a young
girl, her face black and dis
torted, her mouth swollen. The
men WINGED with horror. One
glance told them that she was
beyond all human help.
'Dead!" said Paige hope
leSsly.
"How did it happen?" asked
The Washington times., 1934-01-25

Then to the doctor he gave
a nod Of the head and the
two moved over to the embrar
sure Of the window.
Make an examination, will
you?" said the Sergeant in a
whisper. BE certain there's
been no assault"
The doctor nodded his un-
derstanding.
"Ranny," he said gently to
the Mortified husband who was
still bending over his wife'S
body, II want to be alone with
Sunny for a little while. Go
down in the library, will you,
and try to pull yourself to-
gether."
Paige turned silently and
left the room.
For q little while there was
silence in the room. Then DR..
Warner turned to the waiting
policemen.
There's been no criminal
assault, gentlemen" he said
definitely. II have no heSita-
ton in saying that this is a
case of suicide. And it's all
the worse because I find that
this little girl would soon have
become a mother. I'll 90 down
and tell Ranny."
At this second, BiggS, who
had been making his examina-
ton Of the first floor, re-
turned to report.
Not a thing out Of place."
he said. "A1l doors and
windows locked. Not o sign Of
anything missing"
"And everything is in order
here, too," commented the
Sergent, his trained eye tax
ing in the orderly clean room.
"Here-what's this?"

But the other simply disap-
peared. He neither retreated
nor advanced. One second he
was there and the next he
wasn't and that was all there
was to it.
Carroll, every sense alert, de-
cided to investigate. Running
his machine to the side Of the
road, he dismouhted and started
along the lane on foot. Draw.
ing out his powerful police
flaShlight, he sent its beams up
AT once he saw what had hap
pened. A tiny foot track
branched off from the main
lane and communicated with
the State road a little closer
to Towson. At this moment,
he heard the sound of a starter
as a machine was put under
way. The man had simply
walked to his own car, parked
on the main thoroughfare,
gotten into 1t, and had started
back for the city.
Carroll hesitated. Maybe he
ought to follow and stop the
driver and ask to see his license
and registration card. Then
he looked down the lane. There
were lights in the Phelps house,
and in Ranny Paige'S home,
and farther away, still more
lights blazing in the Handy resi-
dence up on the hill.
AS for the fellow parking his
car on the main highroad-
well, that did look queer. But
he had just engineered two in.

A Little Punishment

Two of the towns most puni-

They accuse each other Of
staying awake nights to think up
plays on words that send pulses
Of people palpitating.
Although many of their gags
are too painful to print, here is
one in which they take pride.
Dashing down Pennsylvania
Avenue, Jim noticed a haze over
the Capitol and said:
Congress is COnvening in a

Said Bill.
"That is as it should be.
They are legislating for the

New Bridge System

The boys down at the National
Press Club are taking a decided
interest in a system of contract
bridge that is being introduced
around there for the first time.
It is played by a mathematical
calculation termed the "rule Of
thirteen" and based on the IS
cards of each suit.
Col. Logan Golsan, who per-
fected the system, says it is one
of the most effective methods
of playing card combinations
that has been devised.
And, he points out, there are
635, 200, 100000 combinations in

We wish you many happy
returns Of the day, children.
Several Of our members have
told us that "Old Fashioned
Grip, the play to be presented
by the Children's Theater at
the National on February 3, is
their favorite of Louisa Alcott'S
books.
AS a matter of fact we, the
editor Of this column, never
read "Old Fashioned Grip. We
don't know how we missed be-
cause we adored "Little Women"
and Little Men" and Alcott'S
other books. We thought we had
read every one Of them.
We are looking forward with
O great deal of pleasure to see
ing the play here next Saturday.
If we had time we would get
the book out of the Public
Library and read it before we
saw the play. But we expect to
be busy reading your stories on
Modern Girl or Boy.
Remember your stories must
be on our desk by Monday noon.
And we have so tickets to dis
tribute. The best Is of the
stories will win a pair (two)
each for their authors.
Keep them around 200 words.
We failed to put a limit of the
stories in the last Children's
Theater contest and some ran
as much as 500 words. It is an
art keeping a story short but it
is good training for those of you
who are looking forward to
making your living some day
by writing. Especially if you ex-
pect to go on a newspaper.
Newspaper editors like short
stories these days.
And get your story to us by
Monday noon.

So he again mounted his
motorcycle and plodded duti-
fully along his beat.He had not
a single glimpse of the strange
automobile which was preced-
ing him, but doubtless far down
the road by this time.
But, as it happened, this
time he had made a dreadful
error in not pursuing the mys-
terry car, for when he reached
Towson a half hour later, ter
rible news awaited him, news
that shook the young officer to
the depths Of his being and
which was to rock the city of
Baltimore on its very founda-

While Carroll had parked on
his machine and meditated over
his troubles, and while the

in the hollow that belonged to
Ranny Paige and his wife.

ont to set the spades, but Mr..
Blunstine saw that he did not have
enough trump entries to do that.
JIe decided against the club
fineSse because West had made a
vulnerable overcall and, therefore,
must hold the king of clubs. So,
the only chance he had to make
his contract was by a squeeze play.
Therefore, Mr.. Burnstine took six
rounds of hearts on which West
discarded three diamonds and the
dummy two clubs and two spades
it was immaterial what East
played.
Wow, three rounds of spades we're
taken and, on the third round,
West must bear down to the single
ton king of clubs and the pack of
diamonds.
So Mr.. Burnstine leads a club
and, as he has kept track of West
hand, he plays the ace and drops
the blank king, which establishes
his queen.

EVENING WRAPS OF
THREE TYPES WORN

Evening wraps never have been
more intriguing than this year.
There are lovely. swagger models,
with raglan sleeves and backs that
flare outward as you walk, to be
worn with simple gowns that show
fullneSS only below the knee.
To go with portrait gowns, there
are long. dignified wraps, cut on di-
rectoire lines. Most of these are fur
trimmed. The third type is full
length. quite plain Semi-ftted at the
waistllne and often has a stitched
collar that can be worn up or down.
