In the same room are found a yellow theatre ticket stub and a wo- man's handkerchief. The stub is traced to one Fogarty in Buffalo. Fo- garty says he gave the ticket to Olga Maynard. Olga admits having used the ticket and admits ownership of the handkerchief. She says a red- headed man whom she was dancing with and whose name she does not know, must have taken them from her purse. The police laugh at this, but Jimmy, Henry Rand's son, believes her. Jimmy receives a note telling him to leave BuTalo; this is followed by a telephone eall having the same purport. Jimmy returns to Grafton fo arrange for Olga's release so she may lead him-.te the redhead. GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XVI Barry continued: "Yes, Jim, out of the past somewhere in your father's] life 1s somebody who had an object in getting him out of the way. Per- haps, he didn't know himself that he had any enemies, but: he had them, "Good Lord, man, you don't think for a minute that this thing was done on impulse? It was carefully planned. Why, they almost succeeded in mak- ing it look like a suicide. Why would anyone do it, Jim? What possible motive? I don't know, Barry." Jimmy shook his head. "Couldn't it have been money? Let's get at this thing." "Pad didn't have any money. No. "Blackmail? Jealousy? 1 think someone was father." "You know better than that, Barry. Dad wouldn't have scared a cat." "You don't get me, Either he had something on someone or that per- son was afraid he would\find it out. They're evidently afraid You'll find it out too. Now you take a fool's advice and stay out of Buffalo. "I will not I'm going back to-night." Don't do it, Jim, I'm afraid. You're just too stubborn to-admit you're in Fear? Jim, afraid of your danger. You're in somebody's way in Buffalo. That's why you got that note, and the phone call, and the telegram here. 'Stay home and let the police find the man you're talking about.. The Maynard girl can help them, "If you dou't-- he shrugged-- ll they didn't stop at murder be- "Nonsense, Barry. This thing is all a bluff. You mean to say that someone. is going to take the trouble to kill me if I don't leave Buffalo?" "Whoever did that thing to your father knows where you are staying in Buffalo and probably knows why." "Well, let them play the game with me, If they show their hand it will make it much easier to pab them in the end. I'm going back and I in- tend to stick close to Olga Maynard in the hope of running onto the fellow she described. The police wouldn't do as well, for if he's the kind of man I think he is he'll be able to spot a poiceman a mile off in plain clothes. "And now Barry, shut Your bead. By the way, how are you getting along with Janet?" "I haven't moved her an inch." Jimmy laughed. He saw Barry sti- fen, and hastened to grasp his arm. "Forgive me Barry.

He became very serious. I think ¥ know how you feel." "You'll never-know how I feel, Jim, till you're in love yourself," "I think," said Jimmy, turning away, "I thin! I know, Barry." » -. » » "Janet," said Jimmy, his hand on her shoulder, "why don't you cut out all this nonsense and put Barry out of his misery?" "You know why, Jimmy, knows why." He faced and Barry her squarely. "Happy, She averted his eyes. "Of course you're not," he said abruptly and turned his back to her. "Janet," he went on, stafing into the fireplace, "there isn't any too much happiness in this world at best. Don't pass any of it up. We're fools if we don't grab all we can." He came back to her and looked earnestly at her. "Janet, don't spoil this--this beautiful thing between you and Barry." 2 She would have spoken but he cut her short. I know wha' you're going | to say--that its just for a while. You don't want to involve Barry in this --this tragedy. $< "Janet, I belleve--I I know--that somewhere Dad is trying to tell you not to do this." IIe had gone as far would take him. A sob rose in his throat." He flung himself into a chair and buried his face in his arms. She was besides him on her knees --her face working with emotion, her chin quivering. "Brother, dear, what's come over you?" Where's my light-hearted Jimmy?" Her voice broke. She stop- ped abruptly to wipe away her tears and regain her composure, It was Jimmy who was broken--who must be comforted, "Jimmy," she. said finally. "I be- lieve this is all going to come out right in the end. It's only a question of waiting a little while. You don't see my side of it. My pride, Jimmy. If I change my course, I have no pride' left, and Jimmy, dear, if a woman brings no pride to her husband she brings nothing else." He looked up. "Is it pride, or stub- bornness? No, no--now wait." He 'losed her mouth with his finger. "Sis, I know now how Barry feels, There's a girl , .. Stubbornness-- my stnbbornness, although I called as his voice iit pride at the time--seems to have lost her to me." He rose to his feet. "Janet, we spoke a moment ago of tragedy. The atest tragedy of all is to miss the happiness that is in your grasp." . . " - gr ing in Buffalo in a slow but steady downpour from low, laden clouds. He hurried to police headquarters O'Day was off duty, and Jimmy told thie chiet of the action that had been taken by the district attorney in Graf- ton, "All right, when we get official confirmation, we'll préfer a minor charge "against this Olga Maynard and release her on bail," said the chief. "Bail? Where are we going to get bail? She hasn't any friends. I haven't any money." "It'll have to be done, Rand." "Wait a minute," said Jimmy. He picked up the telephone, and gave a number. "Mayfair Hotel?" he asked. "Will you give me Thomas Fogarty's room?" - . » -. "And so, Mr. Fogarty," Jimmy was saying half an hour later, they're holding her for bail. In a way you got her into :this scrape, although not intentionally. They tell me you go bond for people quite frequently. Why don't you put up the bail for her?" Fogarty flung away his cigar. "All right, Rand, I'll do it, I'll go down there and take care of right now." He put on his coat and hat and | followed Jimmy out of his room. i * -. » * | As if the weather were not miser- | able enough the day that Jimmy spent in his search for work was even worse, He tried office after of- fice, It seemed to him that he an- swered every want ad. in the paper. He tramped weary miles and met nothing but disappointment, He tried the automobile agencies, advancing his quaiifications as a suc- cessful salesman in Grafton. Jimmy left the train the nex morn- | hungry. He would eat something warm, he told himself, and then go home to a hot bath ail his bed. He' would feel better in thy morning. | He was about to turn in at a cheap restaurant when he suddenly stopped short, a worried look on his face, He frowned. "What's the matter with me?" he said aloud. "Whata's worrying me?" He stood for a moment or two, thinking, then entered the restaurant. He ate a hurried meal, topping it off with two cups of steaming coffee, He Ht a cigaret and started for home. Outside the little restaurant a group of hangers-on eyed him curiously. He darted them a hostile glance and a moment later stopped short again and cursed, "Now why did I do that?" he mut- tered. "Just like a little boy with a chip on his shoulder!" The rain whipped along now on a rising wind, chilled him. His inces- sant tramping all day long had seak- ed him. He hurried, ducking his head to meet the wind. « He was perhaps a block or two from his rooming house when again he stopped. Some sixth sense--some watchdog in his mind--seemed to warn him of impending trouble. He looked back of him. There was no- thing in sight. I'm as nervous as an old woman," he growled angrily. Just in front of him was a street intersection, the last corner to be turned on the way to his room. As he made the turn he paused to listen, but only the howling of the rising gale could be heard. He swore, "What's the matter with me?" He had that strange hot and cold sensation that men often exper- fence when a crisis is to be met. Again he listened, straining his ears, and this time he heard a sound--a definite sound. like a 'footstep--some distance down the street behind him. He stood quite still for a moment, then he pressed himself flat against the building and waited, (To be continued) What New York Is Wearing EY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON Hlustrated Dressma nished With cing Lesscn Fur- Every Pattern This graceful model will have espe- cial aypeal to figures a little above normal.

Will Econemize Baseball Clubs Say Tremsnd- ous Waste of Balls Must «be Stopped The great American hosse-hide must not be wasted. Baseballs have been costing the major leagues ap- proximately $160,000 a seasan, Frans cis J. Powers informs in a Ceisolidas ted Press Association dispatch, add ing that "it is small wonder that club owners are intent upon reducing waste." The use of baseballs, he con tives, has been most prodigal during the past five years, "reaching the point where players were accustomed to toss out a ball whenever i! suited their fancies." Because of this, League, according to Mr. Powers, has this season been trying te reduce waste, and to this end has kept a record of the balls used in each game, The figures for the first part of the season are most interesting, the writer assures as he proceeds: to a discus sion of methods used to keep the cost of balls within reason. American League umpires are hand- 'ed the four dozen balls, obligatory for the home team to supply, before thedstart of each game. The urapires in-chiet then takes a portion of the supply and puts it in the box near the plate, while the others are locked in" a leather bag, and removed only as needed and by the umpire. No balls can be thrown out of an American League until after they have been inspected by one of the umpires. A player may be dissatisfied with the ball in play, suspect it of being scuff« ed or wingy, but his opinion must be approved by the umpire before a new sphere is put into play. At the start of the season, E.'S. Barnard, Presi- dent of the American League, issued a. bulletin to "players. ordering them to keep balls in play as long as pos sible, and it has been well obeyed. Records for the early part of the American League season "show that the tremendous waste in baseballs does not come from home runs, hit out of parks, nor from balls scoffed or scarred in " Not at all, we are assured, for The waste comes from balls hit into stands, and since the American League clubs no longer make a ser- ious effort to retrieve those captured by fans, any ball into the seats is counted as lost. In the first 240 games played by American League clubs--thirty in each city--a total of 6,306 balls were used. Of these 3,574 or more than 50 per cent, were lost in the grand stands. The greatést number of balls used during the thirty games mentioned was in the Chicago White Sox park, A total of 945 were necessary in the Sox games, and of those 562 were lost in the huge stands that are double decked around almost the entire play= ing field. In a single game at Come isky Park, twenty-four were hit into the stands and lost. The smallest number used during the thirty-game period in any one park was 662, and of those 414 disappeared into thé seats." Since the minimum number of base- balls used by any American League club in 1929 was 550 dozen, the item of supplying these" important sinews for the game is rather a costly one, and the magnates can not be blamed for wanting to practice a bit of econ- omy. pa Comments from a Country Garden By Elizabeth Codtsworth 1 Most snakes are harmless, well I know, I like the sliding way they go With lithe scaled bodies slipping through The grass, net spilling the light dew, And yet this admiration makes Me not the less afraid of snakes.
