What do you plan to do?"
I'm tracing Percy Jones over
every inch of his line Of march," said
Blackwood. Either his alibi stands
up or it doesn't. I've thought from
the beginning that he told the truth"
Every inch of the way, his thought
continued as he replaced the receiver.
However, it was large order, he
realized. The high spots were the
studio, where the red-head had first
broached her proposition; the house
with the porcelain doorknob, where
the kitten had been acquired; the
Weldon, where he had already drawn
a blank, and the taxicab that had
driven the fugitive southwark. A
swell bunch of clues-not! He would
have to wait till evening for the studio
staff; and as for the street of the
blue kitten, it might be any one Of
dozen. All of them old-fashioned and

about the color of the spores, try the
experiment of placing the cap with
the spore surface on a sheet of black
or white paper. Place a glass over
the cap so that none of the spores are
disturbed or blown away. You will
soon have a print of the radiating
gills made in the color Of the spores,
either brown, black, pink or white.
Then look well at the stem. This is
most important, and see to it that you
get the whole stem from the ground
for here you will obtain the valuable
characteristic, if present, the volva
which is to be found at the base.
This volva may be loose or men,
branous and present in the form as
scales or rings at the base. And there
may be slight indications of it on
the surface of the cap.
The stem may be either mealy
white. smooth or rusty. There. is
usually ring of the membrane close
to the cap which once protected the
gills of the baby plant. The stem
is pithy when young, hollow when
old. 1t Is from to 6 inches long.
In the death cup we find that the
cap is white or greenish or gray
tinted brown. The flesh is white.
The poisonous principle that is
found in the death cup is known
as phallin. It is one of the tox-
albumins, the poison that is found
in the venomous animals and snakes.

tipped of the police? There was q
chance that the driver would come
forward with his own story. II he

Mr.. Blackwood reached q decision.
"Tell my beloved aunt that shall
be here for tea," he ordered, and went
forth again upon the trail Of the
missing announcer.
The rooms of Percy Jones were In
North Dearborn street, not far from
the southern edge of Lincoln Park.
There was a large possibility that
the slice would be in charge-hope-
fully waiting for Percy to return and
walk into their trap. 1t was a con-
tingency, decided Blackwood, that he
would have to risk.
Dallas, himself, in point Of fact,

hereafter you had broken in?"

"Not Percy, anyway" He glanced
around him. "You haven't found him,
I suppose? Frankly, Dallas, I'm in

hangs upon it,"
What alibi?" asked Dallas.
"The girl, the kitten and the Hin

last night. We told you all about it."
The detective snorted. That's not
an alibi," he said. "it's a fairy tale. "
Possibly, said Blackwood. "but the
case against him still stands or falls
by 1t"
II don't believe a word of it," said
Dallas.

believe he killed the Wingfield woman

He was in the apartment. It now

The head Of the detective bureau
relighted his cigar, which had gone
out, and settled himself in comfort to
enjoy The spectacle. He smiled with
saturnine enjoyment. It was family
embarrassing.
But Blackwood did his best to en-
tertain. He pretended to look for hair
