have been helpful in any way. I was
going to ask you to say nothing to
Janice about my handing on her

rose to his feet. Speaking Of red
heads" he added with little smile,
IT saw one tonight who would have
pleased you. She was at the Cuca-
racha with that fellow Goliath, and
she was beauty"
Blackwood's head jerked around IN
surprise.
"Colbath?" he echoed. "A redhead?
BY Jove, Constantine! Did she hap
pen to be wearing a white quilted
taffeta evening dress and q Jade green
dinner dress?"
The novelist stared. That's pre-
cisely what she was wearing" he an
swered do you mean that you know
her? I met her for only moment,
and wasn't introduced, but"
"I1l introduce you," said Riley
Blackwood. He laughed with sudden
explosiveness. "Her name is Anne
Gray, and she is the reputed fiancee
Of our missing announcer. I have
been wondering about that young
woman for several hours"
"Percy's fiancee!"
Blackwood was starting for the
entry, but he swung back to ask an
other question. What time was it
when you saw them? They were at
the theater when left it."
'Then they left early, for they came
in about 1890, I think. They were
there when left-a little while ago"
The novelist was puzzled. What do
you mean?" he asked. How do you
know she's-?"
"I have her own word for 1t. But
why the devil did she come to me?"
Come to you?"
IT mean, II she's the redhead, why
did she come to me? Sorry, old man!
I was thinking aloud. You'd better
tell me about her, Constantine. Did
you say that you met her?"
The novelist sighed. II met her for

THIRTY seconds licked slowly
away while Philip Constantine
stared at his companion. His
L face had gone stiff, like a
mask. When he spoke, he said:
"You can't mean it-Riley! Janice
Hume murdered! But, Of course, you
do"
"Oh, yes. She's quite dead-mur-

"She was shot, though I didn't say
80. No. not exactly as Rita was. But
the reason seems fairly apparent.
She simply knew too much-or her
murderess thought she did. It amount
ed to the same thing as far as jan
ice was concerned"
He gave the novelist a sketchy his

summary of his own adventures. In

He was silent for several minutes,

reproachfully, as the thought came

me 90 on with my story of Janice's
appeal to me for advice before telling
me of her-murderp"
II knew Just that-no more. The

The novelist was thinking also.
"Zelda?" he questioned at last, In q
low voice.
She'll be arrested for it, at any
rate-probably has been by this time,
admitted Blackwood. "She could have
murdered Janice. And like any ol
the rest of us-as you have appre.

murdered Rita. If she did, Percy'l
matches are explained quite easily
and even his disappearance. He may

of his most interesting statements
were, Regardless to differences
of opinion in family on small

comes to fundamental principles;
There is nothing in the world that

that Christ is universal in the
minds of the people; Christ is not
local Christ but a Universal
Christ"

have to dance with Negro elected

Have you ever noticed the Negroes

that white women seldom do, but
that white men cannot discuss the
