Lieutenant of Police Stanton, Investigating, In-vestigating, questions a voluntary witness, calling himself "Buck" Trembly. Hia testimony is apparently appar-ently straightforward. In Clayton's pocket Stanton had found a not Igned "Malsie," making an appointment ap-pointment with the dead man at the Dutch Mill. Stanton does not believe the holdup men killed Clayton, and la Inclined to suspect sus-pect Trembly. CHAPTER III Continued The morning of October 3 brought a turn in the weather, breaking a succession of brilliant, sparkling days with a storm, with a snow sky, and with blue clouds piling up as folds in a range of mountains. A whipping wind arose and brought the snow, and the lake was whipped Into whltecaps. The wind was cold, and the snow was driven straight as a flight of spears, was caught In swirls to break as an upward flutter of white moths and was whipped out again In straight drives. It was a day for every one about the lodge to knock off early from anything that was being done and to give up thinking of doing anything any-thing more If anything else bad been thought of. Only one member, Preston Brown, had remained Into the fall at tbe club. He was out with a gun for partridge, rabbits or a chance at a duck. By mid-afternoon the men about the place, caretakers and guides, with a young Menominee Indian from the reservation and a traveling travel-ing salesman who had been driving to Hurley and who bad stopped In out of the snow, were making free with the main room of the lodge. A log Are had been lighted. Brown's tolerance was understood and taken for granted. Several bottles of liquor were produced. In the woods a rustic playfulness may be a part of an early period of drinking; another period may mean rough action with boisterous humor; hu-mor; while a third may be violent with no humor. Within a half-hour the group In the lodge room was playful and was on the turn to rougher humor when a Buick sedan was driven up tbe camp road. The driver got out of his car and stood looking at the lodge, the snow quickly whitening his clothes. He wore hunting breeches and leggings and a leather coat He was of robust ro-bust middle age. His black hair was graying at the temples. After a moment's observation of the place be went to the entrance. The Menominee bad seen him from the window, and one of the caretakers caretak-ers opened the door. The stranger said that he had been bound for the Ontonagon country to the north but was having trouble driving on account ac-count of tbe snow. He was invited Inside. Shortly afterward Brown returned to the lodge with two partridges. part-ridges. The Buick had been followed along the main road by a Cadillac In which there were two men. When the Buick was driven Into tbe grounds of Little Butte the Cadillac Cadil-lac continued on its course, but a Another Period May Mean Rough Action, With Boisterous Humor. half-mile farther it was turned back, the driver using a farm road to the side to make his turn about At the lodge entrance he also drove In. but several hundred yards from the lodge Itself he turned off the roadway road-way and came to a stop behind a covert of balsam. The two men In he Cadillac sat there for a nalf-aour, nalf-aour, the car becoming almost as heavily crusted with snow as the trees behind which It stood. Then tbe driver's companion got out and walked toward the lodge. He was not dressed as either townsman or a woodsman of the region but bad a heavy ulster with Its great collar turned up. That and his soft hat pulled down In front almost concealed con-cealed bis face. He went to the nearest window of the loftge and looked la He walked on around the corner. His actions were peculiar In that he seemingly had no intention of entering the place and apparently was Indifferent Indiffer-ent to being discovered In the strange behavior of walking about lt In a snow storm and looking In windows. Presently be returned to the car, shook the snow from bis ulster and hat as well as he could, and let himself back Into his seat beside the driver. Thereafter the men remained In the automobile for an hour. Then the man in the ulster got out again and went to the lodge, looking In a window as he had done before. At the first glance he turned and ran back to the car. Several men came hurriedly out of the lodge. One was the stranger who had come In the Buick. He went to his car, entered It and drove out of the grounds, turning south. The men In the Cadillac backed out from the covert of balsam and drove out also turning south. The other men from the lodge ran to the caretakers' cottages cot-tages and presently were running back with two women, all much agitated. agi-tated. The Menominee Indian met the women at the steps. "He's dead," he said. He then got his car out of the long shed used as a summer garage and departed for the reservation. The traveling meat salesman got his car and drove away toward Watersmeet to the north, on the way to Hurley. The caretakers and their wives and the guides were left dismayed with the consequences of the afternoon's rough hilarity: the dead body of Preston Brown, the club member. He had been Impaled on a hunting knife. The man In the Buick was driving at forty miles an hour. The man driving the Cadillac followed at that speed until it was certain that the Buick was taking the main traveled trav-eled road south. Then the speed of the Cadillac was Increased to sixty miles. As It passed the Buick it swerved In so closely as to suggest sug-gest either a peculiar indifference to safety or an intent to force the other oth-er car into the ditch, but before the Buick driver could be really aware of that the Cadillac had swung well into the other lane, passed without sounding the born and disappeared around a bend In the road. It was now nearing dusk, and the snow was no longer falling. Thirty miles from Little Butte des Morts on the main traveled road south a wooden bridge over a thoroughfare thor-oughfare between two lakes and the marshes through which it flowed, had been taken out The concrete posts of the new bridge were In and there was a detour by an extern porized plank road. The approach from the north was by a sharp curve over a small hilL The snow storm had sent the men home from the construction work October 3, but late in the afternoon an employee had put red lanterns along the approaches as warning of the dangerous road conditions. The snowfall stopped; the wind died down, and at sundown there was a burst of dark red in the west As it faded out a Cadillac was driven from the north to within a hundred yards of the warning lanterns. A man in an ulster got out of the car and set about taking up the lights quickly. The driver of the car turned It Into the brush by an old trail. When the man In the ulster had taken up all the lanterns on the north side of the bridge construction construc-tion be carried them Into the brush and hid them and himself where he could keep the road In view. The dusk, cupped in the encirclement encircle-ment of balsam, oak, spruce, pine and scrub brush, deepened and darkened. dark-ened. There was then what always must seem a miracle dropped from a casement of Heaven, the song of a white-throat sparrow singing in this waste of growing and forbidding forbid-ding darkness fn which he was so bold a midge. The white-throat stopped his song at the sound of a motor coming from the north. The car was a Ford. The driver knew bis road. He swore as be came up slowly, evidently evi-dently at the carelessness which had neglected to put up the lights, but he took his way across the plank The'blding man remained hidden and quiet and waited. It was now dark. There was tbe sound of another an-other car approaching at b gb epeed. Its bright lights covered the road, but it took the bad curve without with-out any arparent understanding of wnat might be ahead. It hit the concrete post of the new bridge Just as its driver ahut off the power and set his brakes. The post was taken out and tbe broken car went over the embankment Into the thoroughfare. thorough-fare. The hiding man came out of his place of concealment lie looked into the thoroughfare Into which the car had gone. In the darkness there was nothing to be seen. He replaced the red lights where they had been and returned to the Cadillac. The driver brought it back Into the road, drove over the plank detour and on south at high speed. As If there had been no wintry interruption, the following day, October Oc-tober 4, was another of tbe brilliant warm days of the Wisconsin autumn. au-tumn. White mists arose from lakes and thoroughfares In the chill of the morning as the eun came op, but they cleared away. The snow mantle on the pine, balsam and spruce dropped In thawing and the ground covering melted quickly into the sandy soil. The construction gangs at the bridge came on the job and had been at work a half-hour before a foreman saw the top of a sedan In the thoroughfare. It was by a pine trunk which stood two feet above the water. Some drift of dead limbs had washed against lt and had obscured ob-scured Its outlines. The foreman looked at lt a moment or two before he was certain that it must be evidence evi-dence of a road accident Then he called his men. One entered the water and attached chains to the car. a tractor dragged It out and the death In it was disclosed. The wrecked car and the body were sent Into Eagle River, where the owner of the Buick Identified lt as one rented from his garage and the dead man as the one who had taken It out Further Identification came when the body of Preston Brown was brought from Lac Vieux to Eagle River. The men from Little Butte lodge looked at the victim of the bridge accident and found that he was the man on whose hunting knife Brown had been impaled. They were concerned In part for their own conduct, but they agreed that Brown's death had been accidental acci-dental They had been drinking, Brown, the stranger and all of them except Jim, the Menominee. Although Al-though they had drunk a great deal, everybody had been goodnatured. Brown and the stranger had been cordial There had been some rough play, scuffles, some wrestling, dancing danc-ing and a great deal of bragging and loud talking. i The guides and caretakers had roughed one another, tipped one another an-other out of chairs, come to grips and thrown one another about the room and had wrestled over the floor. It wouldn't have happened If it hadn't been just that kind of snowy afternoon when a little drinking drink-ing seemed to be about right Rough, but nothing out of the ordinary ordi-nary for such an occasion except possibly the knife-throwing. The Menominee had started that He had not been drinking and he hadn't been tussling, but after there had been some bragging incidental to the rough fun the Indian began pitching his knife at the wall Possibly Pos-sibly he wanted to show how dangerous dan-gerous his dexterity could be. He called two knots in tbe wall the eyes of a man. The guides and caretakers tried their skill at it but the Menominee was easily the best Brown did not throw. He even remonstrated that it might hurt some one. The stranger teased him a bit bruskly about bis prudence. The stranger also made one throw with his hunting knife. It was a large two-bladed knife, a blade opening open-ing from each end of the handle. Both blades were open as he threw It He wasn't expert but he Im bedded a blade solidly In the wall something over four feet from the floor. Ills effort was awkward. The men laughed at him and turned to have another drink and forgot the knife In the wall Later the Strang er teased Brown into a scuffle In which they suddenly began to exert themselves to the limit of their 'strength, almost angrily as men will in adult foolishness of tne kind. The unfortunate end came when Brown was thrown against the for gotten knife blade, ue gaspea. clutched his breast and sagged at the knees. Then he felL The other men were too astonished to under stand it at first Then they were sobered and horrified. The stranger must have lost his judgment In bis consternation and remorse, which would account for his disappearance and for a wild drive resulting in his death at a place in the road dangerous danger-ous to a distracted man at the wheel of an automobile. The identification iden-tification failed, however, to give the county authorities the stranger's strang-er's name. There was nothing to be found in his pockets or on his clothing to reveal who be was. He remained the stranger who had Impaled Im-paled Crown on' his hunting knife in a wrestling scuffle. It was, moreover, discovered that the men from Lac Vieux knew In reality nothing of Preston Brown, They could not recall that they ever had beard where his home was or who or where his next of kin were. Uis effects at the lodge yielded nothing except curiously, the name of Dunn Clayton, who bad been killed the preceding Saturday night In Chicago. The local correspondent of the Chicago papers bad read of that murder and knew of Clayton. The adventitious association of names si an additional newt value to the two accidents, both being re-Carded re-Carded as such. The Tribune and the Herald Examiner published the story, the Tribune on the first page (the death on the two-bladed knife was unusual enough for that), and Stanton, reading his newspaper at his desk the morning of October 5. was stopped by It He took op his telephone and called tbe state's attorney, "Read your newspaper this morning?" morn-ing?" he asked. "Not thoroughly," said Corvaleskl "Why?" "There's something which might Interest you, A man named Brown had some bad luck In a Wisconsin camp two days ago." "lea, and what was lt and what of it?" Be was killed In a wrestllna bout" But I'm still asking yon what of it?" He was Impaled on the blade of a hunting knife stuck In tbe waif "A man can't be Impaled on a blade that's burled In a wall" He can if the knife has a blade opening from each end of the handle." All right nd then what's on your mind?" "it a interesting, mister. The man who threw Brown against the knife and killed him was killed himself a few hours later In a road accident LIKE THE THOUGHT OF BEING MARTYRS Some Deliberately Seem to Cultivate the Habit. He Gasped, Clutched His Breast and Sagged at the Knees. He ran off at an unfinished bridge. And two more things. Brown and Dunn Clayton must have known each other. Dunn's name waa found in Brown's belongings, but the other man was a stranger, and they don't know his name. Something to think about Mr. CorvaleskL" "Do you think there Is a contlnu lty? Anything more than tbe accl dent of Clayton name?" the state's attorney asked after a pause, , "There's not much to guess on,' said the lieutenant "but I'd like to see the third man. I've an Irresistible Irresis-tible hunch It's Buck Trembly. Even If it's fantastic, that's the feeling I have." "Go on up there, lieutenant" said the state's attorney. "I'll assign you and put in a request tor you. Stop tn here for your expense money. Will you do that? If you are right If It Is Trembly, your assumptions as-sumptions regarding the Dutch Mill will be conclusive with me. I'll not indict the men taken at the Mill for murder." "I'll go," said the lieutenant "I've got a natural curiosity to see that third man." Stanton took the early morning train and arrived in Eagle River the next afternoon. He made the Idea tlficatlon of Trembly but did not disclose it He was driven to Lar Vieux, to the Menominee reserva tlon and to tbe place of the bridge construction and returned on tbe fourth day. It having been proved that It was Trembly who had thrown Brown on the blade of the hunting knife and who himself had keen killed on the road, several things became apparent appar-ent to the lieutenant and tbe state's attorney as they considered what Stanton bad learned In Vilas county. First: If they accepted natural and even Insistent conclusions It was Trembly who bad killed Dunn. Second: if that conclusion were admitted Illinois justice must be satisfied, even if not served, ro-viding ro-viding no accomplices In the Dutch Mill murder were' to be looked for. The deaths of Brown and of Trembly Trem-bly were of Wisconsin jurisdictloa Third: although a continuity of purpose and event was at least plausible no motive was discovered which could explain the three crimes. If they were related to one another and bad a common origin. Malsie, whose letter had made her Identity Important In tbe Dutch Mill murder, might reveal a compote of matrimony, eroticism. Irregularity and multiple murder of a peculiar craftiness and remorselessness, but such an assumption was a strain on the probable meaning of facts as known. Fourth : if the death at the bridge opening bad not been caused by Ignorance Ig-norance of the road conditions or by careless driving or both but bad tbe intent to kill back of It and contributing con-tributing to It or causing It then there still remained an unknown person or unknown persons who had contrived or committed moider The purpose was as bidden is the person or persons themselves. (TO BS CONTINCXD.) Successes are all right but It's your failures that make life really worth while If you are really Inter ested la the art of Martyrdom. All that's necessary to make you a topflight top-flight martyr la to convince yourself (a) that you have been wronged, and (b) that you have great Spiritual Qualities. Take business, for instance. You are anxious to put that transaction across, and you go to Smtthera and give him your sales talk. He retaliates retali-ates by giving you a super sales talk In which he explains clearly why your schemes are all wet If you are foolish you put that down as a tough break, and sulk about it If you are wise you become a Martyr on the Altar of Big Business, and have loads of tun. Tou convince yourself that you are a Noble Soul not interested in material things, a Soul too good for the crass tuercen ary world In which you have been placed, People don't appreciate your Spiritual Side. Cultivate the habit of not being appreciated, and In no time you'll be so happy yon could sing. Or take sport. You go into a tour nament and take a beating from some duffer who obviously has no more Spiritual Qualities than a side order of spinach. Is your failure due to inability? Nonsense. It's due to your Spiritual Qualities. Think of the people you've been practicing with. Haven't you sacrificed your self? Haven't you been playing against inferior opposition Just to give the others Joy? Of course you have, if you're worth 2 cents as martyr. Couldn't you beat anybody in the world If you concentrated purely on winning Jirstead of playing for the Joy of the Game? And there you are. You're a Noble Soul, and glad you lost Did you take a beating at bridge? Didn't you sacrifice yourself and make a fourth when you'd have pre ferred to be alone communing with your soul? (And maybe you had bad cards, too.) Disappointed in love? Obviously not appredated-for your Finer Side. Not invited to that party when you should have been? Because you refuse to stoop to being a pusher. Of course not everybody in the world can be a martyr, but, be honest with yourself. Aren't you one? Kansas City Times. Preparedness Rev. W. P. Merrill of the Brick church. New Tork, speaking about the necessity of beginning far back to stop war, told about "one of the most involved and droll sentences" he ever heard. It was In the Catskllls, In early summer, on a heautirui warm eve ning. A small lad suddenly ap peared, waving a smudge from which came a cloud of smoke. Some one called: "Jimmy, why are you using the smudge? There aren't any mos quitoes," He answered: 1 m smoking the mosquitoes before they come, 10 they will stay away when they get here." rresbyterlan Advance. rilercolizedWax Keens Skin Young 0 aai. lad om dlnatei.
