AT FRISCO FAIR

Two Juneau reslaents were in San
Francisco at the opening of the

Alaska's Republican National Com

White, came shopping in the Bay
region today and stayed to see the
sights and attend the Golden Gate
International Exposition.
With her husband, a Juneau at

store while here.

HENDERSON, c DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY JANUARY

The lame ducks were shot sitting,
so to speak. Nobody ever did love a

Lame duck-ism was like this:

and looking forward to some min
utes of fun.
"And it isn't exceeding the speed
limit"
"No?"
"And it isn't petty larceny"
Maybe you got the wrong party,
big boy!"
Maybe" Ellis smile deepened.
He presented a picture Of amused
innocence. But the picture, in fact,
was too perfect. A man could not
be as innocent as he looked. And
back, far back, Of his amused eX-
terror, there was something not in
nocent, and not amused. There was
something dangerous. I glanced to
Phil; he was staring straight
ahead.
MAYBE yes; maybe no." the
chief was saying. 'By the way,
Miss Lemoine, I haven't congratu-
lated you on your engagement"
Her gaze narrowed. Meaning
what?"
Nothing at all! I merely
thought that with a couple Of mil
lions to play around with you won't
have to bother any more with
small fry"
Toots' good humor evaporated.
"Say, just what are you trying to
get at?"
The chiefs air of innocence van
ished: II think you catch on" he
said.
yeah? Well, you're talking
Greek to me, brother!" She leaned
back in her chair and blew series
of complicated smoke rings into the
air.
Perhaps" suggested Mcintyre,
che means that a word to the wise
is sufficient"
II don't get you, mister" She
crushed her cigaret in an ash tray.
"And maybe you two'd better be
sort of careful how you talk to me.
Mrs. Richard Witherspoon is a
dame to be reckoned with, and
don't you forget it,"
Sorry" Mac was at once con-
trite. "But aren't you overlooking
something?"
HUH"
There's an old saying you'll do
well to remember. It goes some
thing like this: There's many a
slip betwixt the cup and the lip"
And he chuckled audibly as Toots,
her sails decidedly trimmed,
rushed from the room, banging the
door behind her.
Another Of your mysteries" ac-
cused Phil. Come clean! Don't you
trust us 2"
"Sure-like / trust my own
mother, which / don't! That woman
is forever sneaking hot water bot

you I was running this show"
"Sorry. I'll do better next time.
Our next witness was the little
girl from the South, Miss Glad
Westcott, but she contributed little
or nothing to the case. This was,
she explained, her first visit to the
Manor. She was a former school
mate Of Daphne Witherspoon's;
Daphne and Richard had visited
her in Atlanta the summer before.
She was terribly fond Of them
both, and just knew they had
nothing to do with these dreadful
murders"
The chief let her go after a ques-
ton or two. Mac lived up to his
promise and said nothing. I won

whether or not she were in love
with young Richard Il had told
him of her cry at Toots' announce
ment), but either he overlooked
this angle or considered it Of no
Importance. His method Of inquiry
greatly puzzled me. He ignored al
together direct accusation, and
seemingly preferred to drop sly
hints and warnings as bait for fu-
ture developments.
Not once had he mentioned the
attack on Phil in the salon. Not
once had he so much as alluded to
the precious piece Of tissue paper.
Had I been running things-but I
was not-so why go into that?
Following the going of Glad
Wescott, Hawkins arrived to an
nounce luncheon. I, for one. was
ready to eat!
''Mrs. Greely has arranged a ta-
BILE for you in the dining roon," he
informed us.
Thanks" Mac unwound his long
legs from the back Of his chair.
"Er-Hawkins?" ?"
Eyes, sir? 2"
"Any of the gentlemen in the
house give you a pair of shoes re-
cently?"
"Shoes, sir?" The buffers nose

"All right; that's ALL"

Immediately. What about you,
Ellis?
Ellis hesitated: IT don't believe
So" he said regretfully. II have
some things to do in town."
$50? Well, no doubt you'll be
back this afternoon?
Right" He buttoned himself
into his topcoat. "I'll be back"
"a dollar to a dime," Mac said
when he had gone, 'that our friend
Ellis is headed for the Kirby ho-
tell" And without further comment
he headed for the dining room.
"Elsie!" he touched my arm as
we went along. "How would you
like to do a bit of detective work ?"
"Swell!"
Good! This is what I want you
to do. When we are seated at the
table you will suddenly remember
something that requires your at
tention in the salon"

"Small danger Of that"
"How am to know the number

less and less appetizing.

"Then use it! Count the shoes

It was with a decidedly sinking

There was no reply and passed
quickly inside. I was in a small.
darkened room that was distin-
guished by the dozens and dozens
of religious prints stuck at crazy
angles on the wall and by the tall
ivory cross suspended from a cell
ing hook above the narrow, single
bed. It needed no detective to know
that this was Miss Henrietta VIII

took me a good five minutes to sort
the shoes from the rest of the stuff,
but I did manage to extract four
pairs Of well-worn walking
brogues, a pair Of house slippers
and a pair of satin evening pumps
from the debris. I set down the fig
ures in Macs notebook, rammed
the shoes back where I had found
them, and hurried on to the next
room.
This time I found myself in Z
closet more to my liking. If had
not been as nervous as a cat,
could have spent some time in ad-
miration and envy Of the rows and
rows Of lovely frocks and gowns
and suits that hung neatly from
