DALE APPLEBY — •Sayler's stepson. RHODA WATERS — Appleby's fiancee. HAZEL LEIGHTON -- Sayler's sweetheart. WINSLOW MARDELL — a gam- bler. GEORGE BARBOUR — Sayler's law partner. LIEUTENANT O'LEARY--police Investigator. 9, 4, A, LAST WEEK: Ballistics tests show it was not Riggs' gun that killed Sayler. O'Leary releases the suspects, holds Riggs in jail, then calls on Hazel Leighton. She is writing a letter: "1 tried to put the deal across .." CHAPTER IX As long as Lieutenant O'Leary said nothing, but just sat there gttiely watching the surge of cou- klfeting emotions playing upon Hazel Leighton's face, he realized there was a chance she would tell hint what he wanted to know -- what that letter was all about. Hazel was fighting with herself .. fighting to keep herself under control. The knuckles of her clenched fist were white and she was rocking faintly on the balls of her feet as she looked ouf. the window of the solarium. She turned finally and walked back toward the officers, She look- ed very tired. "I may as well tell you. The letter makes it look so Innen worse than it really' is." "Who's Jed—the ratan you were writing to?" O'Leary asked. "Itm going to marry him some day, I hope. He's in Los Angeles now . . . waiting. You see, we were going to nick old man Sayler for a neat little piece of chkauge. We figured on a nice, juicy breach of promise suit ora settlement a few months after marriage, "`Neither plan worked out. Say- ler got wind of the scheme. He found a letter from Jed. . . just like you did. He pinned me, down with it one day, and 1 got sore. I told him what I thought of hint and whatit I was going to clo. "Atter I was through talking. he just laughed at tee. He field me he had left Itis dicta'phone running and that everything I had said was recorded. I would have, killed hint viten, but I didn't have a gun. When I left him he said he would be happy to give me $5000 for the year's trouble I had taken." Carroll's lack of- sleep was not so evident now. "That's all? So you came over last night to collect the $6000?" "Yes . . . I suppose so, Really, I don't know why 1 went there last night. He told me to come .. . and I came." O'Leary bad risen and was pick- ing up his kat. "Thank you. Miss Leighton. The sergeant and I will he running along new, I'd advise you to find game other way to make money in the feriae , .. and don't leave town just yet. Lost $35,000 to Him Winslow Mardell was just leav- ing eaning his hotel when the two (tete.e- lives entered. He smiled a greeting and led them to a corner of the doweled lobby. "Suet going out to lunch. Will you gentlemen join mea?" he in- vited, "Thanks," said O'l oar;y. "We'll just keep you a rlecond. We want to know haw you happened to lose S35,000 to Mutat Sayler." Mardell straigh'1rned out n i,l,tatitt- ing yellow tie that lay against a eilk shirt of navy blur. He wore t.nusere of light gray flannel and e. tport,s vont of large', hidetnns (:heck}.'

Luck was against me .for a few nights, and T was running a little short of ready cash, So I just wrote sotue I. 0. U.'s. Hope you're not worried about them?" "No," said O'Leary, "but I guess you were. You had no way of meet- ing them and Sayler wanted his money, didn't he " Mardell's eyes because hard. "So what it he did. He knew he was going to get it." "How were you going to pay him?" "I've got money. I could have drawn some from the bank, 'but I figured I'd let the I. O. U.'s ride - for a while, and see if 1 couldn't win some of that dough back." The lieutenant faced the luau bluntly. "Look, Mardell, We know better, Sayler wanted that money, and you didn't have it. That's why you were over at his place the other night. He wanted to collect. I've hacl you checked pretty care- fully. You're broke: Even your hotel bill is •overdue." Mardell snarled, "I wasn't going to welch . . I never have yet." "You never dared. It you can't gamble, you don't eat. And Sayler was going to fix it so no joint itt town would ever let you in again. He was going to let it get around thta you were a welcher. Isn't that right?" Breedell's lips twisted slightly at the corners. "Maybe," he admitted. "But it's too late now. Mr. Say- ler won't do any talking anywhere tow." When the two detectives were back in their automobile, Carroll turned to O'Leary. "That bird's lucky—or is be?" O'Leary shrugged. "I don't know. Murder isn't beyond hint. And he certainly had a lot to gain from Sayler's death." --' Ysah., Where to "Barbour's house. on Spencer road." Doors Open Mysteriously George Barbour was sitting in his shirt sleeves on the flag -stone terrace betere his commodious Georgian house when the officers swung their car into the driveway. His flabby 'cheeks looked ruddier and his graying hair had e. silvery hue, He appeared much more at ease than he had in the Sayler drawing room the night before. He rose to...,greet O'Leary and Carroll as they slid out of the car. "Good flay, gentlemen," he said pleasautiy. "And what can I do for you?" O'Leary accepted the extended hand. "Just a few more det:aiis about that business last night, Mr, Battelle." The pudgy nem shook his head sadly. "Alt, yes. Poor Riggs. I never suspected. I frequently warned Martin about taking convicts into his home, Conte inside, please. I'll get you a drink." He motioned Carroll ahead, and just ns the sergeant was about to grasp the handle of the screen doer, the portal swung open. Sergeant Carroll leaped back instinctively. "What the—!" Wild- eyed he teemed to O'Leary. Barbour was Smiling broadly. "Scare you, Sergeant?" "DM you see that, Chief?" Car- roll demanded, "I didn't touch it . and it justl. epened. Not a soul at' oarncl," Baritone chuckled. "Ju,et a little device I rigged up. Sergeant. You'll find lets of mysterious things hal*pentug atoned here. A hobby of m fuM," Carroll looked quizzical. "But hew---?" "Very simple, Photo-electtic cells, often called electric eyes. The light conies front that little glass alien You see s,et into the pillar here. The light ray is alined at the dell on tate other iaide--you can see it in that other pillar.

"Well, I'll be dat'ne 1, Never saw anything like it before," Two now, tloo) a r t'siuit A.�,l int• Rorty inside the Pe e est Car - now, Chief?" He iives out toll refused to lead the way. WNhett alley were filially settled :in a rts. ouliAely appointed living room and three tall, cool -looking drinks bad been set before them, O'Leary and Oarroll settled back its their chairs. "Our niasion isn't a very ;fleas, an one," O'Leary said. Barbout''s fot'elitad wrinkled slightly. He waited for the lieuten- ant to go on.. "We found some paper's in Say- ler's safe last night, Mr. Barbour —some Pavers about you," Beads of perspiration •settled on Barboter's face, and he said quiet- ly, "So you found them?" "Yes. Didn't you expect us to?" "I suppose I dill. Yon know all about it then? About the audit?" "Yes," O'Leary acknowledged. "Wiry did you take motley out of the partnership? You did, didn't you?" "Yes, I took it," :Barbour said bitterly. "I deserved it. Martin was getting wads of cash from his dirty business. I never got a cent of that , . . wouldn't have want- ed. it. But meanwhile he wasn't handling any of the legitimate prac- tice. I was doing all of it, but he was still getting his half of the profits, according to our partner- ship agreement, So I finally deciti- eel to take justice into my own hands." O'Leary nodded sympatiteticaIly. "And Sayler suspected, so he cell- ed in the auditors." "That's tight. He was going to expose me, have ute jailed and disbarred unless I got out and promised never to practice law in ribs city again. Ile had me both ways. It world have ruined me completely, He wanted a definite answer last night," Carroll Looked intensely inter- ested. "Did he get it?" "He, e, 'did—I promised to quit, Get out completely." O'Leary finished his drink and rose to go. `'1'm awfully sorry, Bar- bour. You should have found an- other way to straighten things oat. Unless the shortage is covered, it will probably shat' up again when Sayler's executors check over the partnership." She Checks Out The police car ground to a furi- ous stop before the gilt doorway of the, Hanford Arms Apartments. The doorman nodded cordially as the officers passed. O'Leary walk- ed to the desk and asked the clerk to tell Miss Waters that he and Carroll would like to see her brief- ly. The clerk frowned professionally and consulted a card file by his side. "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but Miss Water's has left us, She check- ed hecked out just . a little while ago "" "What!" "She checked out, sir. She said she was leaving town for awhile," O'Leary leaned weakly against the desk. He turned to Carroll, and be looked very tired, •'a1 never thought—" But he didn't finish. He grabbed Carroll's arm and pro- pelled hi•zn swiftly toward the door and out into the street.

Cut Flowers Like Water Ordinary Tap Water's Best For Them, With One Excep- tion Thirteen solutions for preserv- ing cut flowers, tested on 3.0 dif- ferent plants in the Texas Teah- nologieal College greenhouse, in- dicate that ordinary tap water preserves their life longer, with one exception. , A compound used by florists is that exception and it, according to 0. B, Howell, horticulture pro- fessor, preserves fall eosmos and petunias two weeks longer than does plain water. Asters, golden rod, chrysanthe- mums, zinnias, seabiosa, candy - tuft, feverfew and daisies were also tested in the florists' solu- tion and in salt, sugar, tricalium phosphate, vinegar', acetic acid (glacial), junket, nigrosene, car- bon black, seared steps in tap water, aspirin, nutrient solution and tap water. SEAR STEMS OF SOME "While aspirin, sugar and min- ute quantities of salt were fairly good, they did not keep flowers as long as did plain water," said Howell, who supervised the ex- periment. "Acetic acid was the poorest, causing cut flowers to wither immediately." Other experiments showed that those plants which have milky juices or woody stems keep longer if the sterns have been seared over an open flame before placing in tap water. This was true of poin- settias, poppies, lilacs, petunias and many flowering shrubs, How- ell. said. A Growing -Up Son It seems but such a little while Since he was playing at my kuee, And when I spoke to hint my eyes Would downward turn his face to see And now in just a years, 0 God, how short the years can be My eyes must upward turn, for then He will be looking down on rte. Dear God, if in the years gone by 1 have been in some measure fit To merit childhood's upturned gaze, And only quail a little bit, Please help me in the coming years A nobler woman yet to be That when hiseyes must down- ward turn His soul will still look up to me. —Dorothy Markham Brown, few short People Depend On Newspapers Mayor William Morrison of Hamilton, told members of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Association, Ontario -Quebec di- vision, at the opening of their annual convention that news- papers are coming into their own again. The mayor said for a time the newspapers seemed to be giving way in some degree to radio, but newspapers kept an even keel while radio "went haywire." The public was coming back to the newspapers for reliable information. He regarded the weeklies' asseci'ation as an important body, considering the influence they exert in th.'•s:' difficult days.
