CHAPTER II
The still form of Martin. Sayler
was a thing of hideous fascination.
One a.rm encircled his head, buried
partly in the r'ug. The other carne
out straight from his body and
bent at the elbow. Only the white
sleeve of his linen suit seemed
stained by the blood that darkened
the reg.
The five of them stood for min-
utes in. the doovWaY. It was Bar -
lour who finally broke the spell.
• "\\Tell, I'll be—I suppose that
Iliad to happen sooner or latex'."
"Maybe he's still alive," Rhoda
suggested.
Dale looked at her, and she
thought she recognized a glimmer
of something fearful In his eyes.
"Let's see," he said. They, didn't
.-,steed to look too closely. As ,they
stood over the body, they... could
rsee one side of Sayler's face. His
eye was still open—still bald and •
friendless. There wasn't any ques-
eetion about it. Martin Sayler was
ej" dead.
Mardell bent down and put his
hand on the dead' man's shoulder.
",Don't touch him," Dale com-
manded. "What are- you trying to
clap?"
Mardell straightened, "I was just
going to turn him over."

Hazel stiffened; "The police?
Must we—"
Daleturned toward her and said
dully, "What do you thick?"
From the library, at the other
end of the room, a tall, grayhaired
man in butler's livery had entered
the room and Was standing stiffly
at attention. "Is there anything I
can do, sir?" he asked. Dale.
Waiting For Tne Police
Dale turned . toward the butler.
"Nothing at the moment, Willows.
AIr. Sayler is dead."
"Yes, sir, L know." And there
was no sorrow in his voles.
"Go back to the kitchen and
tell the others to remain there
until the police arrive."
Willows retreated. Dale hurried
over to the desk in the southeast
corner of the room, diagonally
across from the doorway through
which they had entered to die -
corer the body. He picked up the
telephone and asked for police
headquarters.
Barbour stood peering out of the
heavily curtained French windows
that broke the array of bookcases
just west of the desk. Dale cau-
tioned him not to touch anything
and. then he turned his attention
back to the instrument in his hand.

CONSTIPATION .
WITHOUT DOSING!
if you have suffered from constipa-
tion, you probably know from ex-
perience that harsh purgatives give,
at best, only tereeporary relief.
That's why doctors will tell you
to get at the cause. If your consti-
pation is the common type due to
lack of the right kind of "bulk,"
try KELLOGG'S ALL -BRAN , . .

"She Was At The Doorway"
O'Leary thrust hie hands into
his hip pockets and stood for se't-
e•r.al minutes studying the room.
It -was fully 10 feet long and more
that: half as wide. The enti't floor
was covered with heavy carpeetiee.
Three of the walls faced: outside',
Along the north wall, that room
could be entered from both ends
—from the library or the ,reccetiou
hall. 'I'lte entire room was lined
with hookceses, windows, Sev":al

Sergeant Carroll entered. the
room, tbllowed by a small, bald
man with steel -rimmed spectacles
anti a thin. gray mustache.
"Here's the doe." Carroll said
brusquely.
O'Leary quickly introduced Dale'

Summer Hats Are
Revolutionized
For men, Very Light, Mesh -
Woven Tropical Headwear
Are Shown in Many Patterns
No department in men's dress
has seen such a revolution as his
summer headwear. When con-
fined to the stiff sailor straw or
the Panama—both in the bleached
white color there was little en-
joyment and not too much com-
fort in the change to straw hats.
This past year brought the discov-
ery of a vast new field in sum-
mer hats. There are now innum-
erable new featherweight, mesh -
woven tropical hats, in a great
variety of native weaves and pat-
terns which are thoroughly in-
bued with the color and comfort
of modern porous, hot -weather
clothes. -In all, a menu of some-
thing like 300 new summer hats,
each with its special quality of
appearance and comfort, has been
added for men's choice.
With Colored Bands
These new hats are trimmed
with bands to express every titan's
fancy and harmonize with all types
of costumes—plain colors, bright
print pugress in Javan Batik,
polka dot and other gay patterns,
two-tone bands, bands of soft -col-
ored Oxford shirting. Particular-
ly striking is the Mayan, Indian
band, woven in Guatemala in au-
thentic native patterns and colors.

Music is the harmonious voice
