mo suspicions?"
Absolutely none"
"Not a murderer in the crowd,
eh?"
Jeffrey's back stiffened. "That's
hardly for me to say. Mr.. Ellis" he
said coldly.
"P erhaps not" The other
shrugged. Look here, Toding-
ton," his tone changed, "I'm doing
the best I can to solve this case.
You and your friends aren't help
ing me any. You're all Withholding
important information"
"Or what you think is impor-
tant," jeffrey amended shrewdly.
For a full second Chief Ellis
stared at him, and Mac Mcintyre
took advantage Of the opportunity
to step in.
Lets not misunderstood one an
other, Mr.. Todington," he said
suavely. I'VE want to find the per-
son or persons who premeditatively
murdered Mrs. Horace Wither-
spoon. You want to clear your
friends. 1t all works to the same
end, and there is no need to quarrel
about it."
Jeffrey's eyes searched the de-
tectives face. Mac met the look
blandly. Presently, as though sat-
isfied at what he saw, Jeffrey
nodded. Perhaps you're right" he
admitted. II don't want to quarrel,
but it makes my blood boil to have
the police suspect my friends. I
know them intimately, you see, and
you don't"
Naturally" Mac agreed. "How-
ever, the truth never harmed any,
one. If ask you a personal ques-
ton, will you answer it to the best
of your ability?"
Shoot"
Very well. When did Daphne
Withespoon break her engagement
to you? ?"
Jeffrey took long time to reply.
but at last he said: About month
ago."
"And what reason did she give
for breaking it?"
"Shc-she told me she no L,nger
cared for me-"

SUPPOSE" said. Mcintyre,
that we figure it this way:
Mr.. Horace is in love with Della
Craig. He wants to give her the
money for her play, but he doesn't
have it. So he murders his mother
and comes into enough millions to
back hundred shows"
"And murders his wife so that
he can marry Della, eh?" put in
sarcastically.
Exactly"
"Of course" l continued acidly,
there being no divorce laws In the
country, he'd have to poison her!"
Maybe" suggested Phil, may
be Mrs. Horace refused to divorce
him."
"Oh, it's too ridiculous" I was
disgusted with the both Of them.
"Mr. Horace wouldn't harm a flea.
Besides, ne isn't in love with Della.
He never pays the slightest atten-
ton to her."
AN old trick, Elsie. You can't
prove a thing by that"
But you surely can't believe that
q woman like Della would fall for
an insignificant little runt like Mr..
Horace?"
mot for Horace, perhaps" Mac
admitted, "but for his millions."~
well, I think you are off on the
wrong track again. Mr.. Horace
doesn't even live in this world. let
alone commit murders in it,"
''Now, don't fly off the handle,
girl" Mac spoke placatingly. II
don't say he is the guilty party.
But do say he had a motive, and
very likely an opportunity. He
could have secured the cyanide; he
probably buys a great many poi
sons for use in his laboratory"
"Why don't you accuse him to
his face them" demanded, thor
.oughly exasperated. "A man could
back a play, couldn't he, without
expecting payment in return? He
may be interested in Della in a
ifatherly way"
Phil burst into loud outlaws:
i"My God, Elsie! Act your age!
,Fatherly way, my eye"
withered him with glance.
you wouldn't understand" I re-
turned coldly. There are some men
in the world with decent instincts"
Mac said YEARLY: IF you two
are going to battle every five min
iutes, I'm going to turn you out"
20. K" Phil grinned. "I'n be
good if you can tame Elsie"
"Imbeciie!" l said, and turned
my back upon him. Are you going
to inform Chief Ellis of your sus-
Ipicions ?" asked Mcintyre.
ELLIS mas troubles of his own"
the detective replied, his eyes
'twinkling. He's busy whiting the
pieces of the puzzle to fit his pic
ture. He'll make an arrest before
long; then We'll get to work."
Here he comes" warned Phil,
and the chief came into the room
, with Jeffrey Todington.
Jeffrey in gray flannels was my
idea of what millionaire should
look like. Handsome in a rugged,
masculine sort CT a way, he GER
tainly was the answer to any maid
ems prayer. Gazing at him 1 could
understand why Daphne Wither-
spoon objected to becoming Count
lOrsini's bride.

business 2" Ellis addressed him
brusquely.
Jeffrey's reply came unhesitat-
ingly: mot thing"

eral mobilization and the ooun-
try's entire man power rs in read
ness for action at concentration
points or has been assigned TO
duty, IL was announced last night.
General mobilization became
complete at midnight. end Of the
Today limit by which every man.
after receiving his order for mobil-
ization, must be at the post

Completion of this gigantic task
meant that in addition to the regu-
lar army of 700. 900. which foreign
military experts call the best in
Europe, man for man, France has
modified $500. 900 reserves who
were now ready for action ,000,-
900 men in all.
During all the 20 days of the
mobilization period. while the
Poles took the hammer blows Of
the Nazi army and air force,
French mechanical units and ar
tillery had been going eastward to
the western front in an unending
flow.
II Ii permissible TO say now
that scores Of hitherto inno-
cent looking pastures, all the
way between here and the
German frontier, have sudden
Iy blossomed into military air
dromes which now are filled
with thousands Of French
and British-war planes.
Reports from various key points
in the country indicate that Brit
ish preparations in France are
progressing on an enormous scale.
News of the completion of gem
eral mobilization came with signs
that Germany, believing its cam
paign in Poland completed, was
preparing for big scale action soon
in the west.

covenants. Most reasible solution
Of the housing problem is expansion
of the Negro community so that it
will include areas (such as West
Woodlawn) containing ample hous-
ing facilities.
Several Negroes have bought
property in this white section but
because Of the restrictive covenants
in property deeds of that area, the
Negro owners have been prevented
by court action from occupying
their homes. White organizations,
representing property owners of the
Hyde Park, Woodlawn and Engle-
wood districts, have united in fight
ing removal of the restrictive cove
nant. They have encountered spir-
tied opposition from Negro civic and
welfare groups and public-spirited
lawyers and state legislators who,
through a bill introduced in state
legislature, are trying to make the
despised restrictive covenant illegal
throughout the state of illinois.
During the past few months nu-
merous committees have also been
formed to study and deal with the
housing crisis. At present there is
an effort being made to bring all
