Newport Harbor Crowded.

"HE weather man, who may have
much to do with the affair, held
forth the prospect of rain with
occasional squalls. Most observers
have been of the opinion heavy
weather would favor Rainbow and
light weather Endeavour.
The day of the opening race dawned
with Newport Harbor crowded with
almost every manner of craft. and
many excursion vessels were yet to
reach here. Not in many years, If
ever, have so many millions of dollars
In floating palaces assembled in one
anchorage.
Both yachts have been carefully
prepared for the starting gun and
the crews drilled to high points in
efficiency, although 1t was generally
believed If Rainbow held any advan-
tage, 1t would be found in the men
who worked her sails and rigging.

 The jury listened intently, ex-. amined the original and enlarge ments of the damning photograph, and then brought in a verdict.
 Sam Pike grew ashen. "It certainly beats all!" declared the wondering Doc Slate, as he sat in. the sheriff's little office later, discussing the trial. "It musta bin the wrath O.

"Yeah?"
 Sheriff? Sheriff Hank Bush ?'' demanded an excited voice.
 Yeah. Speakin'." 2
 "This is Lem Rogers, Sheriff. got kiliin' for you!" ; Some life returned to the sheriff's next words. Where are ye, Lem?"-
 Down by the cabin Luke Peters rented the old Perfesser. He's bin done in
 "I pint ye my depity, Lem," said the sheriff briskley. Stay there till I come. Don't let nobody muss with nothin'."
 "Comin' straight down?" the voice wanted to know.
 "Startin' right away" the sheriff announced and hung up. While he solaced his empty mouth with a fresh bite of chew ing plug, the sheriff conjured up the image of the old 'Perfesser'.
 Mild looking, bespectacled Pro- lessor Girard taught zoology at a small college some hundred miles away. When he came to Marlow Corner, tucked comfortably away in the Kentucky hills, a little under month ago loaded down with several cameras, a butterfly net and assorted paraphenalia, he attra cted much curiosity. When it became apparent to all that the professors consuming in- terest was concentrated on the ac- quisition of photographs and insect specimens, he was regarded as a characteristic cosmopolitan oddity. Since he lived alone in the cabin he had rented from Luke Peters and had no other communication with the natives beyond an occa- sional call at the combination gen. cral store and post office for SUD- plies and mail, he was accepetd as part of the landscape and ignored.
 But" unused Sheriff Bush,' once more conscious of the old profess sor's eccentricities, as he strode from his bare little office with long, gangling steps, "that ain't no req son for killin' man."
 "Hi, sheriff!" The call came from a paunchy little man seated precariously in chair tilteA at an alarming angle against the wooden wall of neighboring shack.
 The sheriff motioned, beckoning- 1y, in response to the others sdlu- tation.
 "HI. DOC! HOWYA?
 kILLIN' LUKE PETERS
 "Hi, Doc! Howya? killin up to Luke Peters. Come on."
 Doc struggled to his feet, and disa appeared through the doorway of the shack over which a wealth er-beaten sign declared to the passing world that the shack was sacred to the official hours of "Benj. Slate, M. D., and County Coroner He emerged, a black bag in his hand.
 "Who did it?" he asked, as he bumped along beside the sheriff in the latter's car

GARDEN

New tangled firearms are the order of the day. The impetus Of the late World War is responsible for many of the new inventions. and modern gangsters see that they are kept in use. Jesse James and some of his followers would gasp in wonder if they could see a gang of Capone's picked men ma nipulate a machine gun in Chica- go's business district in the glare of broad daylight, But when a modern criminal wants to get downright subtle, he's more likely than not to resort to the age-old but silent and deadly methods of the savage. Take, for example. the mysterious murderer depicted in Monographs baffling new feat sure Devils Mate', which is play ing at the New Garden theater to- day and tomorrow. Secretly a dan- gerous underworld boss, his only chance to protect himself was to silence the accusations of a con- demned man already in the Death
 House on the verge of execution. Compelled to commit his crime in Rublic in the very sronghold of the flaw, he could not afford to take Il chance on the methods he used. A smachine gun, or even a revolver was out of the question. Result:

Don't know" returned Bush. Lem didn't say" But when they arrived: Hes mussed up somethin' terrible" said Lem, following the sheriff and "Musta bin hit with an ax or sofne- thin'."
 The sheriff grunted acquiescence to this deduction, to which Doc Slate gave official verification. "Done in around midngiht. Split skull. Sharp instrument"
 "Ax?" questioned the sheriff perfunctorily.
 Most likely"
 "Hmmm,' said the sheriff, and spat. Let's take a look aroun'." Like an inquisitive, lean old hound dog he poked into the odd corners. On little wooden shelf built onto the wall next to the window he discovered a small cash box-open and empty.
 Doc peered over his shoulder. standing on tip-toe. Robbery"
 "Yup!" affirmed the sheriff. He turned to the interested Lem Rog- CTS standing near by. How come you here so early in the mawnin', Lem?"
 "The perfesser wanted to rent my horse an' buggy for trip to- day." Lem told him. "I found him lyin' out in front O. the house." "Who done it was only after money" the sheriff decided. "Who needs money pow'ful bad 'roun' these here parts, doc?" Everybody
