Sober reflection, backed by eijterieuee, had irsuaded Barry that he couldn't get much on his wardrobe. The studs and were rather cheap stuff. He had sold an overcoat once in this very town for three dollars. .Saturday's money would Just square the bank account. As for the hotel bill "Well. I'll give them my clothes." Barry decided, "and I'll have something left In my Jeans when I move out of here." He phoned Peggy again, and then dined frugally and went back to bis room. Step by step, he went over Its details, seeing ever thing In the new light cast by the events of the past few hours. At midnight, for the fifth or the story In the sixth time, he Globe. "Well, that's that." he said aloud, tossing the paper into the waste-baske- t and winding his silver wrist-watc- h "Morano's dead, young Itldder'll be free tomorrow, old Itldder'll be home Saturday, and that's that. Wonder where I'll be a week from now." It didn't matter much. "Nothing matters much." he told himself again, dwelling on Pat's phrase, "Not without Pat, It doesn't. She's a grand girl. Out of my class, though. A week from now, she'll be playing tennis and going over to dinner at the Bidders. Wonder If Peg'U be there. Wonder what's going to happen to those two young people?" In Friday morning's paper, under "Personal Intelligence," he found a mention of the Winslows. "Mr. and Mrs. Peter Winslow are sailing on the Aqultanla next Wednesday," the Item read, "for an extended tour of the Continent." That was that, too. Barry's drama was ending with all Its princie pal characters disposed of, as drama should end. Wlnslow's secretary called him Just before noon. "Mr. Winslow wants me to tell you that Rogers will be free In an hour or two." "How's Mrs. Winslow?" "Much better. Mr. Wlnslow's Still with her, though." "And the Hambldges?" "No; they went hack to Southampton last night." Once more, that was that, Barry thought, getting his hat and making tracks for the subway. He reached the Tombs well In advance of official orders for the release of "Jay Rogers." hk cuff-link- By CHANNING POLLOCK WNU Sorirlce. yOOOOOOOOOOCXr CHAPTER XI Continued 1- 9- Ue didn't want to walk all day, nnd "he did want to see what the other pa- pers had to say of last night' events In the Cocoanut liar. At Fifth avenue, therefore, he turned Into the public l- ibrary. The reports were much alike ""Night Clifb proprietor killed resisting arrest" and The Indictment against Jay Rogers, now held for the Kelly murder, prohuhly will he dismissed Barry sat, almost alone, In the "newspaper room," turning the case over In his mind. Then he nsked for Id flies of one of the tabloids. lie was nearly an injur finding an account of the Winslow wedding. Without any definite knowledge of the date, It was a bit like looking for the proverbial needle In a haystack. Hurry's curiosity was rewarded, at last, when be stumbled upon a pictorial 'front page headed, "Lawyer Weds Convict's "Widow." The ceremony had taken place at St. Stephen's. There were pictures of the church and of the convict "George Selby (Inyet) and Love Nest Where He Took His Bride." The smudgy little "Inset" might have been a portrait of Nicholas Murray Butler or Jack Dempsey, and the house might kave been any house, anywhere. There was an obviously faked photograph of a holdup, and an obviously genuine one of "Mr. and Mrs. Winslow Leaving St. Stephen's." "Gosh." Barry reflected: "no wonder Mrs. Winslow had a nervous breakdown!" The story, on the second page, was In the best tabloid tradition. "Five years ago," It began, "Peter Winslow, obscure young attorney, secured the acquittal of George Selby, charged with participating In the robbery of a andy store In the Bronx. Yesterday, Peter Winslow, rich and famous criminal lawyer, and George Setby's widow were the principal figures in what was to have been a secret ceremony at St. s well-mad- Stephen's." The present Mrs. Winslow had run away with George Selby while he was a cadet In a military school. They bad ome to New York, rented the "love nest," and been "blissfully happy" un- til Selby ran out of money, and was compelled to tnke his wife to a board- ing house. He had been arrested there, for the. candy store robbery, in April, Peter Winslow had got him off, but, the following June, he was caught in another robbery In Philadelphia, nnd sentenced to a long term in the State Penitentiary. With two other convicts, "Lefty" Miller and "Mugs" Scanlan, be had escaped In October, 1923. Penthat niless, the men "staged a hold-ufame night In Fnlrinnunt Park. The victim called for help, and Selby killed Mm. Scantan was shot dead by a police ofllcer, and Selby, attempting to 1921. ret away, Jumped Into the river, nnd was drowned. Ills body was found two weeks Inter, entangled In an anchor chain." Winslow had given Mrs. Selby work In his office, and "three years after Selby's death, love culminated In the ceremony at St. Stephen's." That explained n good deal, Barry thought, remembering the soft, round, jdnk little woman with worried eyes. Jt explained Peter's protective attitude. It might explain his quick Interest In the Rogers case, In which. Barry had told Winslow, Peggy had been "putting sip such a game fight to make a man f her husband." That sort of thing nlways gets me," Peter had observed. "A woman tied up to some man who's not worthy of her, end In love with him." Peter's "Julie" hart been In love with tier first husband, then. And be with lier, evidently, to Judge by what the tabloids said of their happiness. "Must have been something good In that chap," Barry reasoned. "Probably realized what bis wife was trying to do for him. We're a curious mixture." He was still brooding over curious mixtures, snd other things, when a clock struck somewhere, and reminded Mm that, by now, there might be n message as to young Bidder's re'o is.hotel. him at his awaiting There wasn't Thursday afternoon Barry sat In his room and, at live o'clock, he cnlled Peter's secretary. "Nothing definite yet," she Informed him. "The District Attorney's making the motion all right, but, It'll be tomorrow now before anything comes of It." Agnlnst bis better Judgment, then. Parry phoned Hnrwood. "Don't worry," the city editor Bald. "Have you seen tonight's Globe? Whole first page one loud yell for this kid's release. They'll be so glad to get him off their bands- -" In spite of his friendliness, Barry noticed that Ernie didn't say. "Come on down; we've something else for exyou." Nor even, "Of course, we'll out cover to Rogers getting pect you Jail." Why should he? "The big Sit was Harwood's "beat," not Harry's and, anyway, the old man would - b at hi desk the day after tomorrow. XIarwood did M7 that, at last. "You'd All jj.r-trait- "Maybe I Was," Ridder Admitted. It was nearly five o'clock. Indeed, when "Jay Rogers" appeared, looking very white nnd haggard, and the last train had left for Southampton. "You can talk to Peggy on the phone," Barry told him, "nnd then you'd better have dinner with nie, nnd a good night's rest at my hotel. The Bremen gets in very early, and you'll want to he on t lie dock." Jack looked at him quizzically. "Will I." "Won't you?" "I suppose so. I'd like to see my mother." "I'd like to see her myself," Barry said. "She's been swell to you, all right." "Yes." At dinner, Jack declared, "I'll take that Job on the paper now, if my father'll give It to me." "Why not?" "You started me thinking. I can see the old man's viewpoint. He's got to be decent to Peggy, though, it's both of us, or neither. . . . What's going to happen to you?" "Search me!" "Look here," Jack blurted. "I'm Bidder now. Who needs to know that I was ever Jay Rogers? I've been at Southampton all the time, writing let ters to my mother, and everything. You've been Barry Gilbert, working on the Globe, and likely to go on working there. What's the matter with that?" "Wllletts is the matter with It," Barry answered "Wllletts, and Kvans, and Winslow, and all the camera-clicker- s on the newspapers. Tliere've been several pictures of you already. I can't understand why you weren't Identified long ago." "Maybe I was," Bidder admitted "Your old college chums don't exactly run after you while you're in Jail. They don't get to b wriiege chums until ho." you're In Who s "Anyway," Barry continued, "youi scheme's out.

The picture of myself I liked was of an Irresponsible, slightly dissipated young genius. The family portraits didn't apeal to me. Yours did your new picture of yourself, I mean. I'm going to try to be like that the rest of my life." They were lingering over cigars and coffee now. "What is a gentleman?" Barry a.ked. Jack smiled. "The fellow who gels the right por- trait."

"I'd be glad If you'd tell Wllletts, and the rest," Barry had said to the chauffeur. "It'll save me Introducing the subject." It would, too. He had dreaded Ids first few moments with Bidder beginning his story with a pair of cold, calm eyes boring Into him. They would be cold eyes; be felt sure of that. And they were. "The big chief" sat at his big desk In a big, office with a big door and a little one. The big double door opened Into the reception room. Barry entered through that, and found himself facing Ridder and the smaller single door behind him. Ridder was reading a radiogram, and he went on reading. A tall, thin man, with New Kngland written all over A youngish man for his age, him. which might have been fifty. He wore spectacles. His long, thin, absolutely straight mouth was higher at the right end, nnd his right eye was longer and narrower than his left. He had a sharp chin, and a thin nose, and a broad forehead, with thin, graying, sandyish hair. The kind of man who could say "Good morning" as though that ended the discussion. "All right," Barry repeated to himself. "I'll take my medicine. It'll soon be over, anyway. He Isn't going to ghe a damn what I did for his son. If I can say anything to make it easier for those two youngsters and Jacky Wonder what's back of that little door." He was still wondering when the big chief looked up.

"You've known " "I hoard my wife's talk with my son the day before we sailed. Through the door to my bedroom. I heard her Invite him to Southampton.

Barry grinned. "lie also mentioned your taking a hundred dollar bill out of addressed to Mrs. Bidder." The grin faded, "You haven't made a move that I haven't known about." He waited.
