The Dead Mans Chest Clifford Raymond I r W.M.U PRECEDING EVENTS During a "holdup" at tb Dutch MU1, Chicago night club, a patron, Dunn Clayton, Is killed. Lieutenant Lieuten-ant of Folic Stanton question a voluntary witness, "Buck" Trembly. In Clayton's pocket Stanton found a note signed "Malsle," making an appointment with the dead man at the Dutch MM. Stanton Is inclined to suspect sus-pect Trembly of the murder. At a Wisconsin winter camp a boisterous bois-terous crowd Is gathered, including includ-ing Preston Brown. An apparent stranger arrives. Later, two men, driving, appear to be deeply, though secretly, Interested in the party. The stranger leaves In his car, and the two men bear that Preston Brown has been accidentally accident-ally killed. They follow the stranger's stran-ger's car, passing it. A viaduct, undergoing repairs. Is out, and one of the two men removes the red lanterns, danger signals. The stranger, in his car, goes over the embankment He is dead when found. In Brown's papers Clayton's Clay-ton's name Is found and Stanton connects the two deaths. He is assigned to the case, goes to Wisconsin, and finds the dead man is Trembly. Trembly had caused "Brown's death, apparently apparent-ly an accident. A Vermont lawyer, John Whittlesex, reading of the case, recalls the names In connection con-nection with an odd will by a man named Turner. Turner had bequeathed the Interest on S6,-000,000 S6,-000,000 to six men. Blair, Ashley, Roberts, Brown, Trembly, and Clayton, "old friends." The income in-come at the death of each beneficiary, bene-ficiary, is to be divided among the rest. Turner's son Is left a small Income, though at the deaths of the six beneficiaries he Is to Inherit alL Turner dies shortly after making the will. Whittlesex suspects foul play in the three deaths, and writes to the Chicago police. - CHAPTER IV Continued Stanton went to White Plains. A clerk in the probate office was Interested' In-terested' and accommodating. The lieutenant found the will conformed to the purpose Whittlesex had Indicated. Indi-cated. A trust fund had been created cre-ated "In affectionate remembrance of friendship and loyalties" to yield an annuity of at least thirty thousand thou-sand dollars In each case, for "my companions in peril and adversity who would remember me without this token of fldelity but whose lives 1 take this way of sharing after my death." The beneficiaries were as John Whittlesex had named them: Dunn Clayton, Arthur Trembly, Trem-bly, Preston Brown, Howard Ashley, Ronald Roberts and Acton Blair. The provisions of the trust required re-quired semi-annual payments of the income. When the number of the beneficiaries should be reduced by death the distribution. In result, was by fewer shares and larger ratio. The "gift was only for life, but to the survivor, the longest lived of the six, was released the entire income. Upon the death of this last person the entire estate reverted to the son of the testator, to his Issue If he were dead, or In the failure of Issue to the trustees for use In their discretion and In their general knowledge of the testator's tes-tator's Ideas and preferences. "I have, always regarded money as the greatest good," Turner had written In his will, "but I think Its real nobility must be recognized by the person possessing it or trying to get It Money Is freedom. It releases re-leases man and everything there Is In him. It Is his surest friend. It may be beauty, kindness, helpfulness. helpful-ness. It will be anything the man could possibly be. I have never known another good above It I prefer pre-fer earned money. If a man does not care enough for money to risk everything to get it he probably should not have It My son is not In my judgment a person who would be helped by mucn money unless he should come to want It enoueh to risk everything for It I do not mean that I think him dissolute. dis-solute. He may lack the force to be that and his character Is amiable. ami-able. The provision I have made for him Is ample. With it and with what he may earn he will lead an Innocent and, I think, a satisfactory life. In the end he or his heirs probably will acquire the bulk of my estate. My son Is not my type of a man. Nor was I, to my regret his mother's. I am persuaded that money Is man's best friend. I wish my money to continue to be my best friend even when I am dead." The lieutenant took the names of the trustees and executors: Daniel SchuyJer, Philip Monroe and Asa Darling. "Where do these men liver be asked the clerk. "Mr. Schuyler lives In Albany. I think Mr. Monroe Is now In New fork city, but Tm sure Mr. Darling still lives p the river at New-burgh." New-burgh." He's the one IT1 try to see, then," said the lieutenant Been a good deal about this case Men ft L.. In the newspapers," said the clerk. "What do you think of It Lieuten-ant Lieuten-ant now that you've looked over the will? That man Turner had something some-thing In mind. Do you think he was kidding anybody with that loyalty and fidelity?" "Mister," said Stanton, "don't you know that the police never think? Don't you read your newspapers?" "Well, of course, we all more or less agree on that" said the clerk, grinning, "but maybe the rest of us don't think either." "Dont be heretical, mister," said Stanton. "You hang to the sound Idea that the police are all feet" "Good luck, Just the same, Lieutenant" Lieu-tenant" said the clerk, offering his hand. "Thank you for that mister," Stanton said, shaking hands. "Ill need It You've been obliging." "Why shouldn't we be? A policeman po-liceman from Chicago to us is like some one who has been fighting Jesse James." "Brother," said Stanton, "with us Jesse James would have been caught and taken into the Juvenile court for minor delinquencies. What Is that trustee, Asa Darling, like? Do you know him?" "Well, Lieutenant" said the clerk, "there you'd got a wide range of opinion. He's not usual. I've heard him called a nut" 'What do you think him, mister?" "I think he's a splendid sort of fellow. He's rich. He's always saying say-ing something you can't understand and then smiling at you. He's generous. gen-erous. He does crazy things, but I never saw any harm they did, and he's square." "Good-by, mister," said the lieutenant lieu-tenant "I'll be watching the newspapers when you begin shooting," said the clerk. The lieutenant went from White Plains to Newburgh by automobile, crossing the Hudson at the Tarry-town-Nyack ferry over the Tappan zee, and then by the Storm King highway past Stony Point and West Point In crossing Westchester county he directed the driver to go by the Turner estate which had been closed shortly after Its owner's death. He made inquiries in the neighborhood to pick up character fragments from people who had known the man. Turner was a reckless cross-country rider. The morning of his accident, ac-cident, October 20, had been one with gray skies and a light fall of snow. He had mounted about ten o'clock. His horse came back about noon. The household, searching for him, found him two hours later in a ditch ten miles from the house. He was conscious but had become exhausted vainly trying to pull himself him-self out of the trap. It was three feet deep with steep sides. His broken legs were In six Inches of water, and there was nothing he could reach with his hands, i He was a powerful hardy man of fortitude and great courage and en durance, but he could not get out of the ditch. The horse, a young and uncertain hunter which he was training and of which he had ex pectations, had refused the jump, It had stopped and swerved, throw ing its rider who had been conndent that he was putting his mount across. The fall had stunned him. When he regained consciousness he was helnless with the snow iignuy falling on him and his broken legs In the water. He called frequently for help but in taking across the fields and stone fences he had fallen fal-len where It was Improbable that he would be heard. Thus he was found. The snow fall, lieht as It had been, had cov ered him, but his courage was still smllln when he was lifted out "We all get it unexpectedly," he Bald "but I haven't any too gooa a break this time." He hadn't He died October 29. CHAPTER V Mr. Darling and the Turner Heir. MR. DARLING'S house of brick was deep set In an old yard, and Stanton, calling at eight o'clock the evening of his arrival In New-burgh, New-burgh, could see In the gate lights the edges of perennial gardens In late bloom waiting for the frost He bad been easily directed at the office of the Hotel Palatine to follow the tree-lined street paralleling parallel-ing the crest of the river bluff, by the Hasbrouck bouse, which he would know by the cannon on its green and on, then, to the house with the grilled Iron gates and the tall brick gate-posts. The Hasbrouck house on the bluff of the Hudson was Washington's headquarters In the Highlands after Yorfctown. It was In this encampment encamp-ment that the Continental officer! thought too much of their rr!. ances against congress and ncglect- ea civil authority as they waited for B Shin to hrln wnM frnm Pn land whether It was to be peace or more war and considered setting up a military government If It were peace and withdrawing to the west oeyona the mountains to form a new country of their own K it was to be more war. Dried leaves rustled under the Ueutenanfa feet on the lone brlrk walk from the gate to the door. At nis three drops of the knocker the door was onened bi an old col. ored nan whose blue coat was a noble survival of the later Andrew Jackson period. "May I see Mr. Darllne. if ha l at home?" Stanton asked. "He is at home." said the colored man with grave courtesy, "but it is unusual for him to see anyone unexpectedly un-expectedly at this hour." l am Lieutenant Stanton of the Chicago police. I will come another an-other time if he prefers It but will you ask him If he will see me now?" "Certainly. Lieutenant Stanton. Will you come In? Please be spat. ed. I will speak to Mr. Darling." Manton was In a broad hallwav. to sit If he cared to. on a manor- any settee or to stand for a better view of the oil portrait of a handsome hand-some Darling ancestor in Revolu. tionary uniform, a young captain or light Infantry. The lieutenant was standing when the colored man returned. "Mr. Darling says that If you will excuse the fact that he Is at sun- per, he will be glad to see you." btanton entered by a door to the right Into a large room glowing glow-ing In rich colors and soft lights shining on pictures, books and rugs. In front of a tog fire an old gentleman with white hair and white mustache sat In a comfort- "You Are From Our Glowlna, Anl. mated Medieval Gothic Chicago." able stuffed chair. At his side was a table with a tray of smoked and cored fish delicacies from Germany and the Baltic There was also a hot chicken wing and leg and a tea samovar. The little old gentleman was in a yellow dressing gown. His slippered feet were on an ottoman. otto-man. "You'll pardon me If I don't try to rise, won't you, Lieutenant? Please sit down. The colored man had pushed an other great chair toward the table. "Would you Join me?" Mr. Darling Dar-ling asked, sweeping the table with one gesture and pointing to the samovar with another. "No, I couldn't" said Stanton. "Thank you, but I've Just had dinner." din-ner." "Pompey," said Mr. Darling, "you know what Lieutenant Stanton might like. I'll make an exception and take some myself. You may remove the tray and samovar, Pompey." 'Now, please, don't bother about me," said Stanton. "1 assure you, Lieutenant It's not a bother. May I say It will be Napoleon brandy?

The main cause of profit or Ions on commercial poultry farms In the East is the relation between the price of eggs and the price of feed. says E. 0.

H points out that the wholesale price of trains which so Into the poultry ration has recently averaged 7 per cent of the pre-war price, while the orice of the hlchest trade of eggs in New York state has averaged 103 per cent He says that this is the reverse of last winter ana spring, when feed was above pre-war price and eggs were only four-fifths of It In other words, the egg price ratio Is now more favorable to the erower than at any recent time. Among other factora which maxe for profits, the first Is high egg production pro-duction from each hen: to show profit birds must produce consider ably more than 120 eggs a year, un 124 commercial farms In New xoii In 1030, the average number of eggs was 144 for each bird, and only one- fourth of the farms produced more than 100 eccs a bird. These rarras made four times as much as those with a production of less than 130 eccs Yet hlch eee production, adds Professor Misner, Is not enougn; a large number of layers Is necessary neces-sary so that the total Income will be big enough to pay the Interest on the capital Invested and to return eood waees to the operator, iwo thousand laying hens or more are needed to produce a labor income or more than $100 a month, witn less than this number of birds on a com mercial Dlan. the flock does not af ford full-time employment for a poultryman. "Lone-Distance" Layer Is Worth Considering Tha theorv that Dullets alone pay as egg producers Is being modified. Pullets do la? more cees than year- old bens and In better season. But It costs money to buy or raise them, if bird In her nullet year pro duces 291 cues and In her second year 218 It Is clear that she is or the sort that should not oe sum marlly dealt with after one year's production.
