But the others did not believe it; they were pityingly silent, Howen drew Dirk aside out of Mary's hearing and let his wrath ex- plode. Dirk blamed him.st-lf miser- ably for his failure to reach the ren- dezvous at the apiK>inted time, and what the reporter had to tell him did not make hijr. any happier. "1 tell you 1 saw it! It was murder â€" pure murder! Two feet further over, and they'd htive got me, too. By God, to get that (juy I'd turn this town upside down!" "(let away!" "Clean. I tell you it was all care- fully calculated to the minute. Who- ever it was took a big chance, swin;?- ing around under those L pillars. Just as he turni-d the corner he flooded the carburetor and the number-plale was hidden by smoke." "But why should anyone want to kill the boy?" Bowen shrugged. "I've got an idea he knows something about this Jupi- ter killing." Uuyther looke<l at him sharply, "Ah, the kid didn't do it; I don'l mean that," the reporter answered. "I'll bet my hat this was a jirofession III job. Somebody did the Jupiter job and hung it on Eddie. And when he â- went to tell, they got him. That's how 1 figure it." "Perhaps you're right," Dirk re- joined stiffly. He did not want to talk to Bowen, but ; nc thing bothered him. "What time was it when you and Miss Harkness rencht<l the corner? Did you notice?" "Four-ten. I looked at my watch before I hunted a telephone to call the office." Dirk turned away, savage with re- gret. If he'd been punctual, Eddie might have been living yet. He was convince<t the thing was an accident. Newspapermen lived with sensation until they saw it where it did not exist. If he had been disposed to think that someone had wished Eddie's death, the antagonism he felt for the other man made him veer to the oppo- «ite view. He could not have explained the stifTness that came into his manner when talking to the newspaperman but it was strongly rooted and came from two causes. An aver.-''on to publicity was bred in the conservative bones of the Ruyther clan.

Bowen pursued his (juestioning, too absorbed in singulation to notice the other's stiffness. Already a plan was forming in his mind, and if he found enough confirmation of his suspicions, well- he might be on the trail of a bigger story than he had thought. "How did you gt"'! in touch with Harkness, by the way â€" do you mind telling me?" he asked thoughtfully. "I confess he had me thinking birr guiltyâ€" until I saw this. Too plain to miss." "Why,'' said Diik, hesitiitiiig, "he called m<- up this morning. He really said very little. Said he had tried to riach Mary but the line was busy and he couldn't wait. .So he called me in- stead. I said, 'Where are you?' and he .said, 'I'll tell you when I see you.' Then he told me to bring Mary and noeet him at the corner you took hor to at 1 o'clock sharp. If I'd l>ee.n there on time! But â€" " he gulped down the fact of his mother's responsibility for the tragedy â€" "b'ut I was â€" detaine<l." "How did he seem? Frightened? Hurried? Anything queer about it. I mean?" "We- ell," Dirk c<vnsidere<l, dislik- ing the reversed of roles in which he found himself. He was usually the interrogator himself. t)n the other hand, he knew that a it-fractoiy wi*- ness does him.'Hlf no good, so he an- swered courteously enough. "I got the impiession he didn't want to be overheard, perhaps. I couldn't say there was anything more than that in his manner. Nothing very damning in that, I should say. Quite natural under less peculiar circum- stances than these. I was just about to ask him for an explanation when he seemed to- â€" become hurried, sud- denly. He said '1 can't talk now,' and added what sounded like â€" the fly''» buzzing around,' â€" and hung up. Sounded lather -^il!/. I wonder what I.e meant?" He broke off suddenly, remembering that he was talking to a reporter. ".Some kid .stulT, probably. Very likely meant nothing at all." Howen masked the interest this in- formation had for him. "Oh, very likely. Funny, though â€" he's been talk- ing about a fly in the'-^-." He nodded toward the do<>r of the hospital room 'Mmm. Well, '11 be getting along. I'll fix it w-ith the hospital to call me if he dies. Kane's coming over, I ex- pect?" Dirk nodded reluctantly. "He's of. / way. Wants t> talk to the kid if there's any chance at all." The door of the boy's room opened a crack, and a nurse beckoned. "Mr. Ruyther? Please!" Dirk pushed hur- riedly inside, where there w;is the si'und of hushcKl sobbing. The nurse closed the door, shutting herself and Bowen -DUt. "He's goni>," she said. Bowen said, "Where's the nearest phone?" and bolted. | In the wt>ek.s that followed Eddie's ! death the one thing happened that I Mary had never dreamed could hap- 1 pen. That was that nothing happened at all. The days went by as usual and there was no news of the sort she wanted to hear. Day after day her hopes rose, only to crumble again. The big black car had got away clean; no one but Bowen and herself apparently witnessed that lightning swerve thr.t had killed as neatly and deliberately as a bullet, and the speeding car had swung around the corner before any one thought to look at the number. In no time at all it had turned into Fifth Avenue, apparently, and ir. the late Saturday afternoon crush of traffic had been effectively concealed. At first Mi.'y ^"z^ incredulous. It wasn't right or possible that such a thing could be. Complete immunity for such a cold-blooded murder upset all her ideas of justice and led her to think not (luite kindly of a Providence that let such things be.

But the .search led nowhere. There were numerous Lori- niors in town, even a few aluminum- fitted "special jobs," but they were all in the possession of well-to-do citi- zens with the most unassailable repu- tations. Tho car that had dealt the death blow had vanished off the face of the earth. Pix-bably, they reckoned, locked in a private garage somewhere, where it would remain until the affair should have been forgotten, whonce it would emerge repainte<l. And, unles". there was a tip-off, might go undetect- ed altogether. If it had bea^n a "hot" car (that is, stolen), it would have l>ecn found deserted. The fact that it was privately owned added to the strength of tho rapidly growing th(x>ry â€" now that the first flush of iidigiiation had passed â€" that Eddie's d(*ath was an accident, and not, as (leorge Bowen of the Star alone atn- o g the metropolitan news-writers, in- si.'ited, caused by a "murder car."

Mary had fed her starving hopes o his persistently optimistic stories. When they stopped, she felt alone us the champion of a lost cause. Mr. Jupiter was preoccupied, living with- drawn from all contacts except his drily consultation with the private detectives. Dirk was kindness itself; there was something so gently protective, almost pj.tenial, in hi^ attitude toward her nowadays that she was deeply touched by every new nanifestation of his tenderness. But he was trying a case iu court and had no time to give to a personal investigation. He was loath to talk about the subject, even. His whole intention during their brief hours together seemed to be to draw hci mind away from past grief. He wanted to ab.andon their plans for a formal wedding, and be married at once. But Mary shook her head. "Wait," .she counseled. "You dan't want a \ -eeping bridt>. And I can't forget â€" Eddie â€" just yet." He had to be content. He was no more successful in inducing her to leave what Bowen's somewhat lurid newspaper persisted in calling the "Murder Mansion," and come to stay at his mother',! house until the wed- ding. "I've promised Dr. Jordan to staj ui.til Bruce Jupiter comes home," she said. Presently the daily "conferences" with the detectives stopped, and one day there were no stories in any of the papers relating to the Jupiter mur- der, except one small routine item, headed "Jupiter Murder Probe Lags, No New Developments Expected, Says Kane." Mary knit her brows over this. She resolved to go to see the inspector herself, and ask him what it meant. Kane greeted her as usual He sat down opposite with an air of "Well, what have you to tell me?" She showed him the paper article. "Oh, 8ui-e," he said. "We nevor had a chance from the beginning." "But you kept telling the newspa- pers that you were about to find the r.urderer!" she reproached him. "Oh, you've got to give 'em some- thing to chew on," Kane said. "Far as I'm concerned, the case is closed. We don't know the whole story, but we kt.ow â€" enough." (To be continued.)

Women's Clothes Sir Ernest Graham-Little, in de- livering the Malcolm Morris Memorial Lecture in London last month, said that women were very much healthier and physically stronger, because of the adoption in recent years of female fashions which exposed considerable surfaces of the body to light and air.

The Horse Comes Back Horse cabs are now used Instead of rubberneck cars to convey sight-seers through the old sections of Berlin. hTe first attempt was recently made with much success. Old Berlin rubbed its eyes and looked with amazement at I i°°"«y. "^^^^ amounting to forty tumble-down horse cabs rumb- ling through Its quiet streets. The sleepy courts woke up at the familiar sound of wooden wheels rumbling over cobblestones, and joyfully re- echoed the clatter of the horses' hoofs and the crack of the whips. The strains of an old hurdy-gurdy playing long-forgotten Berlin melodies floated ' through the air and the chimes of the I Nikolai church began to ring out quaint old tunes. The people in the forty cabs certainly must have ' thought that the '90's had returned. They reveled In recollections as they drove down the old Splittberg-Gasse I where Frederick the Great had found- 1 ed the first Berlin sugar refinery and ! passed the remnants of the city wall | nea rthe old Koelnische Park. And i that exactly was the purpose of this ' strange ride; to enable people to view the old parts of the city in a way which would make them forget that \ just around the corner cars and sub- \ ways, stop and go signals, and dazz- j ling signs bespoke the age of engin-] eering. Incidentally, the few remain-' ing horse cabs which have fought a brave fight against the advancing taxi-' cab are given some work to do. Twen- 1 ty years ago driving in a motorcar was a thrill.
