NOW 60 On WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XANIV
THE wide gates ahead parted and
= swung open and two small chill
dren appeared 50 suddenly they
seemed to have sprung up like
mushrooms.
Hello, buckles" Mrs. Tracy
called. See who I've brought YOU
Ia nice LADY TO teach you man
ners and spank YOU when you're
naughty"
The dark-haired, dark-eyed little
girl stepped forward confidently
and slipped a chubby, tanned hand
into AIMS. The blond. serious
eyed little boy stood aside. Some
thing caught in AIMS throat.
Peters son. who would be born
some day. would be like Sonny.
Sturdy, serious-eyed. Like Peter,
he must be won.
I'm going 10 stay here a long
time, Sonny" Ann said. Lets get
acquainted now"
She smiled at him and suddenly
he was by her side. Where are
your boOks?'
"We1l use the old ones until You
and Sissy and | can 90 TO town
and get new ones" Ann said.

Sissy.
"All pictures" promised Ann.
The artist mothers swinging
stride had carried her up the slope
TO the bungalow spreading out
among the trees. Ann, holding
Sissy's hand. followed. But her
eyes were on the fair-haired boy
trudging along on the other side.
THE other member Of the house
hold will be in around six" Mrs.
Tracy told Ann later. They were
sitting in the attractive bedroom
that had been assigned to Ann.
my brother. Allan Vincent"
Mrs. Tracy explained. She got up
and walked over TO the window,
walked restlessly back and sat
down again. I'm quite proud of
him and Just as worried about
him."
Mrs. Tracy continued. "He in
tended TO be an artist. We had a
small Inheritance from our father
and Allan went abroad at 16. For
nearly four years he gave himself

time an honest and very blunt in.

Ann said softly. "What a shame.
Perhaps the professor was wrong"
"No." Mrs. Tracy shook her
head. "He was quite right. For
six months the boy-he's only "a

money. lie was furnishing a new
home and asked Allan 70 help him.
1T ended by Allan doing the
whole thing. The house was a sen-
sation and contracts for others
poured in. II gave my brother a
new interest. He began TO study
again. He's been in France and
England and only a few months
ago opened an interior decoration
studio here. He's made money. but
it hasn't brought him happiness.
He has a suite Of rooms in town.
but spends most Of his time here.
He tries out his color schemes in
really charming paintings. Quaint
idea. But it works"
IT was dark when Allan Vincent
l. arrived. He was slender, dark
haired. boyish-looking.
I'm of to get into a hot bath
and then into pajamas." Mrs.
Tracy said. I'm dead!"
"You look tired" Allan Vincent
said TO Ann. Wouldn't you like
to have dinner in bed. too? Don't
hesitate. il you feel you'd like to.

Ann was tempted. She felt tired,

at the table. she said. "No. I'd

dren. 1t will be a good time TO get

I'D prefer having dinner with

said.
IL was a queer meal. Ann

Ann knew about Rumplestiltsken

the story with many embellish-

She led her admiring charges OF
TO bed, tucked them in. and then
returned to the hall. Allan Vim
CEN was there. sitting by a read

table.
Good night" Ann said.

"Yes. I'm a little tired"

Il don't smoke"

ANN"

She smiled a little. He was ex-

THE KENNEL
MURDER C. ASE
BY 8. s. VAN DINE

trigger the impact of the bullet
drove Archer's head to the left. Then
can see Brisbane place the revolver
in Archer's hand and return to the
door, where he carefully put in op-
Grafton the mechanism he had worked
out for boiling the door from the hall
Myword, Markham, what situation!
Brisbane shooting dead man, and
then deliberately setting the stage to
prove that it was suicide!"
"Good G+dv' breathed Markham.
"But during this tragic farce"
Vance went on, "Wrede had arrived
at decision. He had decided to come
back to Archer Coe and finish, for
all time, the crime which apparently
he had only started. He bethought
himself of the Ting yao vase he had
broken, and perhaps fearing it's alb
sence would be noted, he picked out a
superficialysimilar vase from his own
small collection and carried it back to
the Coe. house. The hour, l should
say, was around ten o'clock. -. /.
Wrede opened the gate of the rear
yard, and left it ajar; and it was then
that the Scottie followed him on his
dark errand. He went in the rear
door of the Coe house leaving it open
and the Scottie followed. Every
thing was black and still. He went
through the dining room into the Ii
brary, and placed his own inferior
vase on the teakwood base where the
Ting yao vase had stood. He took the
daggerfrom the vase in which he had
hidden it, and moved toward the hall.
Vance raised himself little in his
chair.
"And when he reached the door.
Markham, he saw a figure coming
down the stairs from the second floor.
There was light in the library, but
it was not sufficient to make possible
an absolute recognition of the figure
on the stairs. To Wrede that figure
was Archer. (Archer and Brisbane,
you'll recall, were of the same height
and general build, and they did not
look dissimilar). Wrede stood behind
the portieres at the library door, the
dagger grasped in his hand, and wait
ed till his opportunity came. The
shadowy figure came down the stairs
and walked toward the closet door
at the end of the hall,-Brisbane was
no doubt going back for the over
coat and hat which he had left there
on coming in. But Wrede with his in
famed imagination assumed that Ar
cher was preparing to leave the house
to tell some one of the attack-to re-

the time Coe was murdered. " see,
had thought per haps that some blond
lady with Duplaix lipstick had adj
mitted the Scottie into the Coe house
earlier in the evening. But although
Miss Delafield used Duplaix lipstick
and had undoubtedly called on Archer
Coe before half-past seven, it was
not she who had let the Scottie in;
for the little dog was in the Delafield
apartment after nine o'clock that
night, and had disappeared some time
between then and half-past ten, at
which hour the maid instituted a
search for her. Moreover, I learned
that the Scottie could have entered
the Coe house only if some one had
unlocked the gate between the Belle
Maison and the vacant lot next to the
Coe residence. And I further learned
that there was no way for the Scottie
to escape from the Belle Maison, ex-
cept into the rear yard. Only some
one who had unlocked the gate and
opened the rear door of the Coe resi-
dence would have given her the OPP
portunity of entering the house. And
Wrede was the only person who could
have done this"
g.
The following year Hilda Lake and
Grassi were married, and the alliance
seems to have been highly successful.
Vance became the owner of Miss
MacTavish. He had become attached
to her during the days he had nursed
her back to health, and the romance
(if one may call it that) between Hig-
ginbottom and Doris Delafield ran on
the rocks shortly after the lady's re-
turn from Europe. After her break
with the major she showed little in
terest in the dog; and Higginbottom,
in appreciation Of some nebulous IA
vor which he considered Vance had
done him, made him a present of the
bitch. Vance placed her in his ken
nels, but she did not seem to be
happy there; and he finally took her
into his apartment. He still has her,
and she has been "pensioned" for
life. Sometimes I think that Vance
would rather part with one of his
treasured Cezannes than with little
Miss MacTavish.

dagger was; he knew the domestic
arrangements of the Coe house; he had
a key to the rear door; and he doubt
less knew of the broken lock on
Grassi's door. He had probably brood;
ed over his loss of a wealthy bride
until he could no longer resist the
urge to follow up his-as he thought
successful murder Of Archer by the
murder of Grassi. He would thus
have won complete victory over the
forces that had temporarily defeated
him. His frustrated ego again. And
had it not been for Liang's perspi-
cacity-which Wrede underestimated
and the shift of Grassi's arm, he
would have succeeded"
"But what" asked Markham, "first
gave you the idea that Wrede had
committed the murders? ?"
"The Scottie, Markham" answered
Vance. after having found she be-
longed to Higginbottom, / ascertained
that he had given her to his inamo-
rata who lived in the Belle Maison.
And once I had followed the Scottie's
trail and knew that she belonged next
door, made bit of an investigation.
I learned from a perfectly honest
Irish maid that both Higginbottom
and his lady fair-a Miss Delafield-
had been having a farewell dinner at

Vance inhaled several times on his
cigarette and broke the ashes into a
small tray beside him.
"My word, Markham! Can you i'm
agine Wrede's emotions? He killed a
man; and yet he could look across a
vacant lot and see this dead man
acting as if nothing had happened.
Wrede had to start all over again.
It was delicate and terrible situa-
tion.1 He knew that he had thrust a
deadly dagger into Archer Goes body.
But Archer was still alive-and retri-
button must inevitably follow. And
don't forget that the lights did not go
out in Archer Goes room. Wrede, no
doubt, frantically asked himself a
thousand times what was going on
behind those drawn shades. He not
only feared the incalculable mystery
of the situation, but I am inclined to
think, he was perturbed most by his
speculation concerning the things he
could not see. wouldn't care to
put in the two hours that Wrede
spent between eight o'clock and ten
that night. He realized that some de-
klcision must be made-that some &C
: ton must be taken. But he had moth
ing whatever to go on: his magma
ton was his only guide. :"
"And he came back!" said Mark
ham husky.
eyes" nodded Vance" he came back
he had to come back! But in that in
term Of his indecision something un-
foreseen and horrible had taken place.
Brisbane had returned tothe house
he had returned stealthily letting HIM
self in with his own key. He had re-
turned to kill his brother! He went
to the drawer Of the table and took
out the revolver. Then he went up
stairs. Perhaps he saw the light
through Archer's bedroom door. He
opened the door. :"
Vance paused.
"Y' know, Markham, l am inclined
to think that Brisbane was prepared
for any emergency. He had worked
ont scheme for killing Archer, plac-
ing him in his bedroom with the re-
volver in his hand, and then boiling
the door from the hall, so as to make
it appear as suicide. And when he
saw Archer sitting in his easy chair,
, apparently asleep, he no doubt felt
! that the fates were with him, that his
road had been made easy. I can see
him tiptoeing across the room to the
easy chair where the other sat. can
see him place the revolver against
Archer's right temple and pull the
