,Dr. Cavanaugh,the great criminal
psychologist, learns that their mar.
ried life has been ver unhappy.
Y . p Y
Peter Piper, a Herald -reporter,
while trying to see Dr. Cavanaugh,
Meets, Barbara Cavanaugh; ' he finds'
she was -engaged to Ellsworth before
'hid' Marriage. Dr. Cavanaugh iden-
tifies a body found in the tale marsh
as that ef, Sheila O'Shay. Barbara
faints when she hears this.
Mrs. Kane, Sheila's maid, is arrest-
ed and admits 'Sheila forced Ells-
worth' to marry her by threatening
breach of promise. Peter and. Dr.
Cavanaugh find the breach, of pro-
mise papers have been taken; they
find a threatening letter ;signed
"David Orme". Peter. trails Orme
to an automobile tourist camp.
CHAPTER XXXIL—Cont'd.
"Well, it's a funny thing," Pater
said, his brow wrinkled in a puzzled
frown; "I went romping eat after
Orme on suspicion of his being the
O'Shay woman's murderer. If he's
-guilty, I want him to be convicted,
In fact, I shall be extremely Tetley_
ed and grateful if 'he turns out to be
the guilty party.
"He's the most promising suspect
that's turned up so far. And yet—I
had to hire a lawyer for him, out 01
my own pocket. He didn't even have
the sense to ask for one. There's a
sort of innocence about him -=I don't
mean innocence of this particular
crime, but of the world and all its
works.
"I couldn't see hint or anybody dtifi

rash without even grasping what it
as all about. My wires are all
ossed somehow," he concluded rue,
idly
"The work! • is very full of peopld
whose wires are tangled," Dr. Cav-
anaugh said meditatively. "That, we
aright say, is the normal state of Shur
manicy. Motives are not laid side by
side and, neatly balanced. They'ere
more like a basketful 5f loose skein'
of silk after the kitten has been play,
ing with them. You pull a motive
mnd'instead of the thread's coming
out smooth for -its entire length, you
run into a knotted snarl of other me,
tires, :blinking it. The very few who
are not like that— who can pal'
their threads out to the end ---• are
the great single-minded people, art-
ists who starve themselves and their
families, financiers who wreck their
competitors, scientists who immediate
themselves with deadly bacilli, even
arch criminals. It's lucky for them,
and also fortunate for normal, tang-
led humanity, that they are in the
minority. But I take it you did not
cense to listen to my views of the
world in general?" ,
"Well, I hoped 'you might work up
a view on one person in particular,".
Peter grinned. "You see, I managed
to put it up to a lawyer friend of
mine—at least he has perbty good
reasons to feel friendly toward the
'Herald'—that it would be worth his
while to take up Crete's case for the
publicity there'd be in it, if he putts
on a good show, that's fair enough
--and I had to get his services at bar-
gain rates, salaries being what they
are in the newspaper business. He
wants to look into the chances -of an
insanity defence, And we'd like to
engage you as defence alienist to
examine Orme"
"I've no doubt ,you would," Dr.
Cavanaugh said blandly, following
With 'his eyes, the floating procession
of a series of smoke rings,
"Of course publicity means nothing
to you—you cotilcl get as much free
publicity as a movie star by Iifting
your finger. And there isn't any
money in it. After all," Peter ex-
ploded, "I can't be expected to go
broke in order to pay for the defence
of a man I never saw in my life un-
til I grabbed him for the sheriff!
And even 'if 1 did go broke," he ad-
ded more calmly, "I couldn't raise
"So far as I:know," the doctor
said placidly, "nobody evpeeted any-
thing at all fromou except from?au, pt your,
self. '_And you seem to be devoting

gain nates in professional servicel.
for the sake ef. a notion of abstract
justice,"
"Justice be blowedl" It was Pet-
er's, code to :snort with indignation'
when accused • of lofty sentiments.
"This chap rather interests Inc•, that's
all. And I hoped he'd interest you."
,"He 'does," the doctor agreed ' -with
unruffled tranquility. "Tie interests
aha Very much, He also interests the
district attorney, who had the idea
that a plea of insanity might be 'In
order. I3e even suspects- that, our pe-
culiar Mr. Orme is laying the ground
for it by his present attitude. It just
so happens that the district attor-
ney's office has alerady requested my
services as alienist for the prose -
,I
cution."
CHAPTE1I, XXXIII.
"My grief!" Peter's hands were
flung out in a gesture of despair,
strewing ashes from his half•,burned
cigarette 'heedlessly ever 'the doctor's
Pekin rug. "That jig's up then. The
jury won't understand half of what
you say, but they'll believe all of it
because you say it. I wish you'd
waited for ,me," ha added reproach,
fully.
Dr. Cavanaugh wafted tiree smoke
rings into space before he answer-
eu',
"I did," he said at last.
"Yon did?"
"That is I waited for everybody.
I am
quite willing to marline Orme
His case, front what I hear, presents
some interesting features, but I am
not willing to go into it with any
more definite bias than I would have
if he had come as a patient to my
office.
"The district attorney was rather
heated in his continents on the 'insanr
ity dodge' as the current fitshi'on a-
mong criminals of the present day—
but after all, we are not sure that
Orme is a ,criminal, any more than
we are sure that he is insane. By
the way, how did he take the trans-
formation of his, captor into a good
Samaritan?"
Peter leaned back in his chair and
Lighted a fresh cigarette from the
stub of its predecessor.
"The police weren't allowing any
newspaper interviews. They didn't
want to run the risk of having Orme
start something with the reporters
before he'd talked to them. But my
position was what you might call
strategic."
"You have a way of putting your-
self in strategic positions," Dr. Ca-
vanaugh commented with a briefly
quizzical glance in Peter's direction.
"Oh, it was nothing to crow about,"
Peter hastened to assure him, "Only
you see, if I'd chosen to play myself
up in the `Herald' as the intrepid
amateur who discovered and caught
the man who wrote'that threat, her

ed to search for him, it would have
made them loop rattier silly,
"It wasn't like that, of course.
really. I just happened to light on
a tip and followed it; and capturing

sibilities of the other treatment

T merely turned Orme over to the
sheriff and beat it' back to the of,

for me, iii the way of glory. But
naturally, when I suggested that I'd
like a word with my pet tante Pris-

"NaturaIly," Dr. Cavanaugh ag-
reed so suavely that Peter looked up
with sharp scrutiny; but the doctor
was intent an extinguishing the
urning end of his cigar against the
side of the ash tray. "And what
id' he say?" he asked without look -
ng up.
"I told him I'd see that he . had • a
lawyer, and he said, 'That's very kind
of you, but you oughtn't to bother,'
just as if I'd offered to call a taxi,
