received Dy SelldIOls VIII SoihSlIeu
with Mr.. Roosevelt on the question
that the chief executive was open
minded on possible compromises.
Chairman Hatton w Summers of
the house judiciary committee
called off further consideration of
Mr.. Roosevelt's program by his
committee until the White House
attitude could be clarified further.
The White House sources said
there is mo talk of compromise" at
the White House, where Mr.. Roose-
welt is directing strategy to gain
enactment of his plan to liberalize
the country's highest tribunal.
The President was represented as
fully realizing his program will
mean "A hard fight"
Emphasizing the Presidents de-
termination to resist any change in
his program, it was said specifically
Mr.. Roosevelt did not favor the per-
sonal suggestion of his senate ma
iority leader, Joseph T. Robinson,
that the retirement age for supreme
court justices be set at rs years in
stead of 70 as provided in the draft
of the Presidents plan.
The unyielding White House atti-
tude was revealed in the face of
suffering and spreading revolt in
both houses and senate against the
supreme court phase of his plan.
Leaders insisted however that
margin large enough to insure pas
sage remained.
The White House sources said
further Mr.. Roosevelt is not conSid-
ering any plan involving consti-
tutional amendment as means Of
giving the administration power to
reach it's labor, industrial and agri-
cultural legislative goals.
Mr.. Roosevelt was represented as
believing an attempt to have the
constitution amended would delay
the enactment of liberal economic
social laws until the present gener-
alton of children become aged.
The informed sources cited the
campaign of many years-still with
out successful procure a child labor

that the whole thing has been engineered for
this one particular purpose" Molly pouted.
Il thought you'd help me-"
"I'd do anything for you. But I can't"
VERY well, then. III do it myself"
you mustn't, Molly! It's too dangerous"
That's just where thought you'd come
in." murmured Molly, demurely.
But hang it all -" Detective-Inspector
Pomeroy capitulated. "Oh, all right! Have it
your own way. But you'll get me sacked
before you've finished"
So late that night, Molly o 'Rourke stepped
from taxi with her companion and approach
ed the environs of Doughty Street on foot.
1t was after midnight and very few people
were about. They entered the yard at the
back of Lady Margaret's house, confident
that no one had observed them.
Though light showed here and there in
the back of the house. the yard was dark.
Molly led the way across it to small tool
house.
Here we are," she whispered. Help me-"
You'd better let me 60 first"
Don't be silly. III wait for you."
Grumbling little, the inspector helped her
to climb to the roof of the tool house. This
was accomplished without any difficulty, and
he followed easily enough.
On the rather steeply sloping roof, they had
to move carefully in the darkness. Above
them yawned black opening, the window of
Mary Brantwood's room.

1t seemed impossible. 1t was so cruel, so
utterly heartless. And when. about an hour
later, she received Doctor Forests note she
knew that she was right. 1t read: The blood
shows definite signs of dielhyl-barbituric acid.
Quite big dose must hare been administered.
There was no doubt about it, then. Molly
sat for quite while. Then she picked up the
telephone and dialed Whitehall 1912.

the person she wanted.

where's it to be? The Colossal"
Eyes Sill meet you in the lounge" Molly
hung up and tried to concentrate on her work.
Detective-Inspector Frank Pomeroy looked
troubled. He was one of Miss O'Rourke's
best friends, straight, decent-living young
fellow, very keen on his work and perhaps
equally keen on Molly. As they sat in the
crowded restaurant, he listened carefully to
her excited, rather involved description of the
mornings proceedings, and his pleasant face
held trace of grimness.
ITS rotten trick" he muttered. Foul!
But don't see that we can do anything about
it. These things you've told me could never
be accepted as proof against anyone"
'Oh, Pom-pom, sighed Molly. "You police
are an unimaginative lot - always want
proof!'
1T isn't we who want it," laughed Pome-
roy. I'm this country there is an antiquated
system known as trial by jury...'

Something fell from the

A curious hardness ap-
peared in her eyes as she
stopped to pick up the
tiny object. 1t was a fiat
piece of red rubber, oval
shaped. measuring less
than an inch in its longest
axis. Curious that so small
a thing could indicate so
great a depravity of
human nature, could prove
conclusively that her worst
suspicious were justified.

hard as she thanked Lady
Margaret and left the
house. Not until she had
reached the hospital and
sought out the house sur

why, of course, Miss
O'Rourke. Anything at

The young surgeon
looked rather disap-
pointed when Molly told
him what she wanted, but
he promised to carry out
her wishes at once. She
went along to her office.

Detective Inspector
Pomeroy's pleasant fea-
lures showed gradually
increasing disapproval as
he listened to Molly's ex-
cited voice. When she
stopped for breath, he
shook his head ernphati-
cany.
Cant be done," he
said.
But it must be done!
You don't mean to say
that you're going to allow
this crime to be committed
without taking any -"
"Of course not. We shall
take steps to see that the
crime is not committed"

Are you sure it was nothing serious?"
Absolutely, Madam"

Certainly not. You know perfectly well
that never take my jewels to hotel"
Il beg your pardon, Madam. Id forgotten"
The butler made dignifed exit with the
chauffeur Lady Margaret looked at Molly.
Il think we have the reason now, Miss
O'Rourke," she said. The silly girl evidently
took lovers tiff seriously. Is there anything
more can do for you?"
Molly did not reply for while. She was
feeling very uneasy, very worried. This busi-
ness was growing more uneasy every mo-
ment 1t was no affair of hers, of course; but
she felt that she must try to make sure whether
her distressing thoughts had any basis of
truth.
II wonder" she said suddenly, If might
see the room where - where it happened?"
Lady Margaret looked surprised. There's
no reason why you shouldn't, suppose"
she said doubtfully. Il don't quite know the
procedure in these cases. We've left the room
untouched in case the police - but suppose
there'l be nothing like that now"
She'll probably be charged with attempted
suicide" said Molly. MAY see the room?"
VERY we'll" Lady Margaret led the way
upstairs. This is my bedroom" as they
passed half open door. And this is where
Brant slept. It's really only a dressing room,"
she explained, opening the door.
Molly stood looking round the small room
which still held faint sickly odor of coal
gas The window had been opened wide, of
course; she could see Sibley, the chauffeur,
busy with the car in the yard below.
As both the butler and Lady Margaret
herself had emphasized, cracks at the bottom
of both doors had been stopped up with news
paper. The folded wad that had been placed
at the bottom of the door opening from the
corridor had, of course been pushed aside
when the door was opened. Molly inadvert-
emily kicked it as she moved across the room.
