Guilfoyle was ill at : /. i-.nd his tone had the wheod- Mn^'ioftness of one who had been taught in a dereliction of duty. "Which way did hi- go?" "He came out tho back door, walked down the range, and went into the Dil- tanl housp through the archery-room." "1'aying a social visit?" "It locked that way, Sergeant. He pend* a lot of tirr.e at the Dillards'." "Huh! Anil what time did he come back horn-? (lUilfoyle moved uneasily. "It don't look like he came back homo. I-Vrgcant." "Oh, it iluti't?" Hiath's retort was pond'-rotis with Fare-i-ni. "I thought maybe after he'd broke his neck he mighta <-'>rnc back rind pasx-d the time of ilnv with you." "What.

"Was there any one on guard in front of the Drukker house last night?" Markham asked Heath. "Not after six o'clock, sir. We've had a man tailing Drukker during-the day, but he goes off duty at six when Ouilfoyle takes up his post in the rear." "How far away were you last night I r om th" .1 or of the alleyway i-etwetn the two apartment houses?" The man paused to visualize the scene. "Forty or fifty feet, say." "Ami bel ween you and the alleyway were the iron fence and some tree branches." "Yes, sir. The view was more or less cut off, if that's what you mean. "Would it have been possible for any one, coining from the direction of the Dillarc' house, to have gone out a.id returned by that door without jour noticing him?" "It mighta U-e-n done," the detective admitted; "provided, of course, the guy didn't wart me to see him. It was foggy anil dark last night, and there's always a lot of traffic noises from the Drive that woulda drowned oi:t his movements if he was being extra cautious." Wher. the Sergea:u hnd M-nt (Juil- foyle back to the Bureau to await orders, Vace gave voice to his per- plexity. "It's a dashed complicated situa- tion. Drukker called on the Dillards at eight o'clock, and at ten o'clock he was shoved over the wall in tho park. As you observed, the note that (Juin- an just showed us was postmarked 11 p.m. which means that it was prob- ably typed before the crime. TrV; Bishop therefore had planned his com- edy in advance nnd prepared the note for the pr-.-ss. The audacity of it i.? amazin'. But there's one assumption we can tie to -namely, that tho mur- derer was some one who knew of Drukker's exact whereabouts and pro- |<iscd movements between eight and ten." "I (UKI- it," saiil Markham, "your theory is that the murderer went and returned by the apartment-house alley." "Oh, I say! I hav no theory. I asked (iiiilfoyk- about the alley i lere- ly in case we should l--:u n that no one but Drukker was seen going to the I park. In that, .-vent we could assume, ! as a tentative hypothesis, that the murderer had managed t" avoid detec- tion hy taking the alleyway and cross- ing to the park in the middle of the block." "With that possible route open to the murderer," Markham observed gloomily, "it wouldn't matter much who was si-en going out with Druk- k-r." "That's just it. The person who staged this farce may have walked boldly into the park under tho eyes of an alert myrmidon, or he may have hied stealthily through the alley." Markham nodded an unhappy agree- ment. "The Iliing that bothers me most, however," continued Vance, "is thai light in Drukker's room nil night. It v.as turned on at about the time thf poor chap uas tumbling into eternity.

The contents of hi-, pockets ate being held till after the autopsy." Heath -lipped to the telephone, and ii moment later was talking to the desk sergeant of tho li-Oh St. Precinct Station. Finally he hung up. "Not .1 kcj of any kii.d on him." "Ah!" Yiinoo drew a deep puff on bis cigarette. "I'm beginning to think that the IlKhop purloined Dnikker'ii key nnd paid a visit to his room nfter tho murder." "But what would have been bis ob- ject?" protested Markham incredul- ously. "We don't know yet. But I have an Idea thnt when we learn the motive of theio astonishln' crimes, we'll understand why thnt visit was paid."

"Y" know, Markham, he said, "it occurs to me that we should see Mrs. Drukker fir.st. There was tragedy in thnt house last night. Something strange took place there that needs explaining; and now perhaps she'll tell us the secret th&t has been locked up in her brain. More- o/cr, she hasn't been notified of Uruk- ker's death, and with all the rumor and gossip in the neighborhood, word of some kind is sure to leak through to her before long. I fear the result of the shock when she hears the news. In fact, I'd feel better if we got hold of Barstead right away and took him with us. What do you say to my phon- ing him?" We drove up-town, called for Bar- sUad, and proceeded at once to the Drukker house. Our ring was answer- ed by Mrs. Menzel, whose face showed plainly that she knew of Drukker's death. "Has Mrs. Drukker heard the news?" asked Vance. "Not yet," she answered, in a quav- ering voice. "Miss Dillard came over an hour ago, but I told her the mis- tress had gone out. I was afraid 'o let her upstairs. Something's wrong/' She began to tremble violently. "She hasn't made a sound all morning. She i didn't come down for breakfast. . I'm afraid to go and call her." Vance turned back to the hall and led the way upstairs. When we came to Mrs. Drukker's room he knocked softly and, ratwing no answer, open- ed the door. The room was empty. Without a word Vance retraced his steps down the hall to Drukker's study and opened the door without knocking. On the foot of the narrow bed lay Mrs. Drukktr.fully clothed. Barstead sprang forward and lean- ed over. Then he straightened up and shook his head slowly. "She's gone. Been dead probably most of the night." "No signs of violence?" asked Vance. "None; she died from dilation of the heart brought on by shock." (To bo continued.) Caprice Caprice la gold; An orange-colored toy balli-on, The tinkle of a tambourine.

Captain Jimmy IH forced to -aid behind the enemy'8 Iln lie p>?ui a raid on HIP military camp to Kecu-e gasoline and oil. While Lieutenant Stone thrtw the military camp Into an uproar, I whistled softly to Scottle and grop- ed my way through the darkness to- ward the big, Imposing tent. Quietly I slipped under the can- vas, and felt my way around the sides. As my eyes grew more used to the darkness, I could see the out- line of a large cot on *hich someone lay sleeping sound- ly. Scarcely dar- ing to breathe I crept slowly for- ward. Then be- fore the surprised Chinese could offer any resistance, I grabbed him and secured his arms behind his back. Under his pilovv I discovered no less than two pistols and a knife. The knife I threw away. One p!stol I pocketed; with the other I Induced him to follow me. Wrapped in a blanket, I shoved my captive under the tent wall, and marched him along to where the horses wore held by Fu Hsu. Once we had put some distance be- tween ourselves and the camp, we questioned our prisoner. To our amazement, we discovered that we had secured no less a personage than General Feng as a hostage. "Tell him" I said, "that as soon as It become^ light, he'll write me an order for 150 gallons of gasoline, twenty gallons of oil and a supply of food, and if he doesn't write the order pronto. I'll take him apart by hand to see what makes him tick". The interpreter translated my message. 'General say he no can do", said Fu Hsu, "He say you sullemler now and he'll be very easy with you". I scowled as fiercely as I could. The poor Chinese locked so funny in his night clothes and blanket, yet he Just could not forget his rank of General. Pulling out my pistols I made a number of horrible faces, ex- pressing the dozens of doleful things that would certainly happen to him if h continued to refuse our request. Being a sensible man, and a Gen- eral, he decided to yield handsomely since yield he must. "He say 'Yes', can Jo," translated Fu Hsu; "Velly glad to do such lit- tle favor for fline tentlemen." At daybreak I rode out to the camp with the General's written order in, my pocket, and his gold signet ring on my finger, as proof of my author- ity. The camp was astir and Immedi- ately we were sighted, a group of mounted men galloped out and sur- rounded us. In a loud and com- { manding tone I Insisted that we be taken at once to the commanding of- ficer. To him I showed the ring and | made the demands for gas, oil and food. We got plenty of Immediate action. Burros were loaded with gas, oil and food and we set out for camp. Leading off in p round-about way, It was over four hours before we shook off the last spy- ing soldier and finally reached the plane. For us, the tinned food was a real feast and /-, I even the Gen- ',, ' i eral seemed to enjoy it. Break- fast over, we put him to work empty- ing cans of gasoline into the plane and he proved to be about average Chinese labor at that job. Then we took off on a level spot In back of the treei and our last sight of General Fong was see-ing him walking wearily jack to his camp.
